NANNY AND THE CUB. Likes ?nd Dislikes of a Bear That Was Sackled by a Goat. The bear that figures in the story is known as Jack, and he belongs to Lewis Ford, who ibrmerly owned a goat ; ranch high np on the Cerro Colorado mountain, overlooking the lovely valley j of the San Joaquin. Ford found ?the bear when it was a cob, soft, round, shining and black. IBeing wifeless, childless and alone, he adqpted the tiny cub and carried it home. Once there, Ford soon found ? that a foster mother must be provided for the infant, and so a frightened, trembling, bleating she goat was ( brought to the house to take the place .^tjf the parent he so missed. It was only . after much combined force and persua Ision the goat could be induced to adopt ? as her own the unkidlike orphan placed > in her care. But the time came when : foster mother and foster child-were as happy and content in their relations to ? each other as if the sight of a nimble footed, blue haired "nanny" suckling a ? -clumsy black bear cub was of the most ordinary condition of affairs. The bear veaxed fat on goat's milk, and amore y docSe. ftactabie beast never grew up ^tinder the guardianship of a humane and ? loving master. In the earlier days of his ? adoption the baby was a baby in truth. He would not be left alone, and it . -would have been ,a harder heart than ' Ford's that could have resisted the piti : fol "whimper of the little fellow when? ever he thought that -hp was to be left alone in the house. Had there been any to see it in those days they would have ^witnessed a strange sight The great, &broad shouldered' man, following his | Sock ;*s they grazed on the bunch grass : sometimes five or sis miles from home -and as he walked the steep mountain .side, where it was so nearly perpendicu 'i lar that it seemed that only the goats v themselves could gain a foothold on the 1rocks,-carried the cub in his arms. When Jack grew older, he was trained to herd goats. Previously a number of dogs had helped Ford, but the bear and ;the dcgs could not agree, and so the dogs had to ga Jack took their place well, and they were never missed. For several years the bear continuect to help Ford until the latter sold his ranch and ?prepared to go to his old home, iniEu xope. Then a number of his neighbors tried to buy the bear. Ferd refused to sell him and said that if he could not 5 take Jack with him he would not ga The difficulty about shipping the bear ?'"was overcome, and now he and his mas? ter are living contentedly in the old country, enjoying the fruits of their long, lonesome stay in the California ' mountains.-San Francisco Call WagD?r on Young Ton Billow. "I have followed the youthful devel? oping period of your son's life with cog \ nizance and sympathy, without exercis? ing any other influence upon him than that of my example os an artist and of my most cautious advice. I have ob? served that his love cf art, and especial? ly of music, is based npen no' mere transient excitement, but upon great r indeed, uncommon - powers. It was with my special concurrence, and indeed at my suggestion, that he went on with his law studies with undiminished zeal, as there is nothing so repugnant to me as a musician who is that alone with? out any higher general culture. At the wish cf his family he anpiied himself also to the study cf jurisprudence. Full of devotion to his mother, he tried Imrd to take an interest in this study, which, in reality, went dreadfully against his . grain.' And now what is the perfectly clear and evident result cf all his pains and experience? Simply the outspoken, absolute conviction that the more he sets the one thing against the other the more he feels that it is art alone-in other words, music-that he can love ?mceasingly. This one thing, my dear lady, stands first and foremost as an un? deniable fact, and I cannot doubt that, when once you yourself are convinced of this wish of your son to devote himself entirely to music, you will make it your own wish also."-"The Early Corre? spondence of Hans von Bulow. " How Peers Are Summoned. Englishmen returning home after long residence in the colonies are often amus? ed and puzzled by seme of our anti? quated forms and ceremonies. The other day I came across a retume'd Canadian, who had been much impressed by the .terms of Lord Salisbury's circular to his followers in the house of lords, where the premier "ventures to express the hope that it may be consistent with your lordship's convenience to be present in your place upon that day"-the open? ing of parliament My Canadian friend suggests that if a member cf parliament requires to be reminded of his cinty to be present when parliament meets, the intimation, instead of taking the form of "venturing to express a hope that it may be consistent with his lordship's conveniences," would be more effectu? ally expressed as a hint that if the mem? ber is not present he will incur painful consequences.-London Truth. A Novel Occupation. An occupation which does .not figure in labor statistics, nor in the social econ? omy at least of America, is discovered in the following advertisement, which appeared in the Blackpool Tines, an English newspaper, in the last days of 1896: " Young man, of dark complexion, is prepared to 'let in the New Year' at any house in Blackpool between 12 and 9 a. m., at 2 shillings each without re? freshments." The explanation of this cryptic notice lies, it seems, in a local superstition that the first visitor to a house in the new year, if he happens to be of a dark complexion, brings it good luck. _ Inconvenient Ears. .'How's your arm?" asked Tommy of the voung man who calls at the house, ..It's all right Why?" .* 'Cause I heard mother teil sis^i that she peeked into the parlor the other night and^saw your ann out of place." c otton.
