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."

With careful rotation o?
crops and liberal fertilizations,
cotton lands will improve. The
application of a proper ferti?
lizer containing sufficient Pot?
ash often makes the difference
between a profitable crop anc
failure. Use fertilizers contain?
ing not less than 3 to 4%

p?riment on the best farms in the United States-r
