Beigravia, ee THE SUMMER HOTEL. Some of Its Advantages—How the | Guests Consider Each Other’s Com- | fort—A True Story. Mr. W. C. Prime writes to the New York Tournal of Commerce: Summer hotels are in general built cheaply. ‘The floors and partitions are tnin. A noise or a Voice is heard through both. Travellers rarely think of this. If everyone had in mind the idea | | of insisting on their “right: bells in the night were taught to speak low, the guests might take the hint and speak low also. There are ne travellers who can never be nade toconsider others. These are the clasa of people who are extremely seifish, always ‘‘look- ing out for number one,” and it is a comfort to e testimony as an old traveller to the t that these people are rarely comfortable. What they travel for is hard to imagine. Growl- ing at tables, growling at rooms, growling at pri they rarely find a disposition on the part ot landlords or servants to give them any extra comforts, and they never hesitate to gratify themselves at any expense whatever to other travellers. These people have a way A vast deal of trouble in this world is caused by men’s claim of rights. I begin to doubt whether any man has any rights. The proper word is duties. If men thought more about their duties in all the rela- tions of life, social and political, we should see jess selfishness and more thoughtfulness. Wrongs innumerable are committed in the as- sertion and maintenance of what are called “rights.” A hotel is a small community,: in which universal enjoyment is mainly promoted by individual determination to do nothing which will make another uncomfortable. Like liberty everywhere, one’s freedom and happiness in @ hotel depends on the restraint of all. FACTS ABOUT BEARS. A Bear Ordinarily No More Dangerous thana Woodchuc. From the Forest and Stream. Irise tor a few remarks on the bear. I have known bruin for the past forty years. I have met him on the trail in northern Michigan, Pennsylvania, and the North Woods. I have seen him in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Ordinarily bruin Is about as dangerous as a raccoon or the festive woodchuck. But it does happen that the mother of any mammal will ig- nore danger to herself in defense of her young. Almost any animal will go wild and reckless of danger in defense of her young, and the bear is wonderful on muscle. Consequently, when a she bear turns on her tormentors it is well to keep back about eighty-five anda haif feet. She doesn’t want to hurt anybody. She only wants to get her babes away from that fearful biped with the Derby hat and a dead rabbit cut on his hair. If you humor her you are safe enough. If you want to put your hounds on her, making the escape of her cubs doubtful; well, “you ta your choice.” If you drive her to desper- ation and she has the grit to stand by her cubs, “better you stand a leedle back.” Ihave bagged a good deal of bear meat. 1 have beentwice ona lone cruise in the North Woods. I saw several bears there—all intent on their own affairs. So slight was the danger from wild animals there, and so childish seemed the immense ar- maments of the average tourist, that I came to leave, not only my rifle, but my revolver be- hind. And I found the eight-ounce rod andthe pocket hatchet all sufficient for defense against wild beasts. All the same, a she bear with cubs may be dangerous. I will give three in- stances that Ican vouch for: - Forty years ago “Jim Steele,” with a record of seven panthers, twenty-one bears, and 1,300 deer, resided at the mouth of ‘‘Asoph Run.” He sent his son, aged 14, up the creek for the cows one evening. The boy came back frightened | and crying, saying that a big bearhad chased and nearly caught him. Old Jim was dis- gusted at the boy’s cowardice. Leaving his rifle he went back with the boy, and at the mouth of the Kennedy Run the boy commenced tosay, “lt was just here,” when an immense bear jumped from under the bank, reared on her hind legs, and, showing all the teeth she had, growling, snarling, and threatening, made at the party. Old Jim took it in at once. “Jump on my back,” he yelled to the young- ster, whichthe boy did,at once; and yelling, backing, and flourishing a knife, all the wea he had, old Jim and the boy got away. Then that there are a great many other people in the , they saw the mother bear cross the} “riffle” on house with him, whose comfort and enjoyment |¢he creek and scatter up the mountain side, to is worth considering, hotels would be more | quiet places.

Thirty-two years ago “Harry Ellis,” born and bred on Pine Creek.guided a party to the huckle- berry hills of the Barrens. While prospecting for the best berrying grounds he was suddenly confronted by an immense bear, which arose from behind a large fallen trunk, and, rearing on her hind legs, made directly at him, roaring, grunting, snarling, and showing her best array of teeth, Harry seized and flourished a pine knot, whooping and yelling at the top of his voice, as he ran backward at his best pace for a few rods only, when the bear turned and quickly conveyed her two cubs out of danger. On the same range ot hills I once went huckle- berrying with FarmerT.,his wife, and daughter, oninvitation. Our rig was a twe-horse farm wagon, the bottom of the wagon packed with in- verted tubs and buckets. Distance to the ground twenty-one miles. By dint of starting at 3 a. m., and abusing the horses to unwonted speed, we were on the ground at 11 a. m., among berries so plenty that the ground was absolutely hidden. It was a short job to pick a bushel of berries on such ground: but I had been there before, and I thought I knew of a place, about three-quarters of a mile westward. where the berries were equally plenty, but larger. So I took a large tin pail and started. Half way to the ground there isa gulch to be crossed, and this gulch was badly blocked with fallen timber. When near the bottom I halted to select the best routes for ing by or over some fallen trees that lay in path, when a very large, dingy-looking brown-nosed” bear sprang on a pine, sprang off: ‘in directly at me, got on her hind legs, and bezan to play the usual game of scare—showing all herteeth, making the savage, roaring, bark- Ing, growling noise common to enraged bears. On the instant I commenced a lively retrogade movement. Once I caught my heels and tum- bled oyer backward, but got up suddenly. It was aChinese fight. Growling, snarling, teeth and claws on one side: whooping, yelling, and pounding tinware on the other. Nobody hurt. Bear bh seared. As for myself, 1’ was seared a bit! As for the bear; it go ing that when she played m down onall and took herself out with her cubs for all she was worth. sees — DAVID AND GOLIATH. Elow the Little Fellow Slew the Giant Champion of the Philistines. From a Sermon by Evangelist Barnes. Some man bolted into the hut of Saul and an- nounced that a champton had come forth, and Saul said: “Bring him in.” He expected some man fourteen feet high, and lifted up his eyes at an angle of forty-five degrees. “Where is he” (surprised)? “He is in.” are you talking about? mamma. You must be jokin; y just me?” asked little David. “Yes; you're a nice boy; go on.” Then said David: “Thy servant kept his tather’s sheep, and there was a lion and a bear came and took a lamb out ot the flock. Thy servant that slew both the lion and the bear will beat the brains out of this uncircumcised Philistine.” Saui began to see the point. “My son, it’s a fact. Why didn’t I think of it before ? Go out and win. But come, let's-have a little common sense in this matter. Bring in my armor.” And they loaded the little fellow down with 200 or 300 pounds of brass. “I can’t wear this. I ain't used to this sort of thing,” said David. and he put it off. Brother, don’t you try any of the devil's armor. Don't let the devil put an ounce of brass on you. Trust in the Lord sine cera, honey, without a particle of wax, our word sin- cere. Victory comes not by frusting in the Lord and common sense, not by trusting in the Lord and keeping your powder dry. ‘n the Lord sine cera. Just as you are. So David goes out without knowing how he was going to fight. He doubtless expected to use his shepherd’s staff, as with the lion and the bear, but the Lord showed him a better way. He was caparisoned as a shepherd of the sheep, and that’s all the Lord wants to kill Goliath. David gave the giant ali the advantage of position. The battle was fought on the ascending slope of the Philistine’s hill. Goliath was so full of wrath at the sight of his pigmy antagonist that he lifted his visor to curse him more freely, and that proved his ruin. Ourhittle Dayid ‘slipped a stone in his sling, and made a run athim. He didn’t stop for a pot-shot, but as he ran he just let fly and ‘od take the stone to its mark. God gave direction to it; it sank into the Philistine’s fore- head, and down he went. God always directs a smooth stone from the brook when we lean our whole weight upon Him. Goliath dead, all the rest of the Philistines fled. And that is the way to kill Gohath now. —————_-+-_____ 5 Win.

Jesse, one of the three “Les Encroyables” brothers, now playing at Pope’s with the Ki- ralfya, was interrogated last night as to the system of training through which aman must goin order to do a first-class contortion act. The reader will no doubt be surprised to hear that,no rubbing of the joints with buzzard’s grease or sleeping between oiled blankets Is necessary, and that genuine ease and pro- ficiency can be acquired only by long practice. Mr. Jesse, who is_now in his year, has had twenty-two years’ practice, having been appren- ticed to John Wilson, a well-known circus man of Calitornia, at the of six years. At the time he began to learn he was only an ordinary boy, not at all remarkable either for strength or agility. When the four years of the appren- ticeship had expired he was pronounced a fair contortionist, and offered a good salary by Wil- son. At this time he was able to do ‘easy kicking,” and by continuing the exercise has been able to acquire astonishing powers. The contortionist, he says, is never allowed to do any heavy lifting or jumping, because such ex- ercise contracts and stiffens the joints. “To be able to tickle your ear with your toe,” said he, ‘‘you have only to take about two hours’ practice daily for four or five years, and it is best to begin early.” The boy who begins to learn is put through every exercise that will make the joints limber without creating muscle. One of the first things he is made todo is to take the foot In hand, lift it up, and pull the leg toward the body. When this has been done daily forten years he becomes a falr con- tortionist, and to succeed after the business islearned, a man must keep sober. Whisky and beer stiffen the joints. It is also held to be a bad idea to eat peanuts and other indigestible food. In the third act of “The Black Crook,” where the three preformers named appear, most pf what is done is called “easy kicking,”—that is, kicking over heads. “Hard kicking” consists in throwing the leg along the back, and otherwise putting the Joints to an unnatural strain. While the gyra- tions and contortions of this act are fairly be- wildering to the spectator, they are not difi- cult to the actors, though the work 1s very ex- hausting in its nmatare. The ease and grace which characterize thelr movements are the re- sult of years of training,and cannot be acquired in a short time with the ald of any balm or oint- ment known. ——___+-e-—______ A DEMAND FOR GOOD FORMS. ‘Women who Dress in Silks, Satins and Furs to Please Purchasers. The following advertisement appeared in one of the New York morning newspapers: [W ‘itor in salt depertmieus; only thoes well saaptod to that purpose need apply." A reporter for the New York Mail and Ex- press called at the time that the advertisement appointed, but not for the purpose of posing as ® “figure.” “We hire women for their forms,” said the shopkeeper. ‘ My business !s all form. Look about youand you will see at least forty women of all sorts, sizes and shapes engaged at present in the frantic endeayor to attract my attention, so that I may ge their services. These ‘women we use for many things—to fix dresses ‘on and pin cloaks to, and to jam hats over, and, in fact, for everything except to talk to or to reason with. Oh, they all find it necessary to bring their finest forms to us, but after the day's business is over we are not interested in what they do with them. Whether they lay them carefully by in their pureaus, or squeeze the wind out of them, or read them 1s none of our business. “The women come from all parts of the city, and as soon as they present themselves to us we send them upstairs to our forewoman. She passes on their eligibility. If they are up to the required standard we engage them and pay them 38 a week. They are supposed to re- mnain here from 9 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the evening, and besides being ae as ‘figures,’ they sometimes carry bun- les. “They are much more handy thanthe ordinary dummy, becanse we can simply direct them what to do, and we are in the most Instances obeyed. It is true we cannot kick them into one corner when they arein the way, as we can with the wire figure, but, you know, there are drawbacks to every advantage. The great ma- Jority of women who answer our advertisements ‘are about 40 years of age. They have, no doubt, at one time been pretty, but now there isa sad commentary upon the double shufile of time in their appearance. “In the busy season, as it is at present,” said the storekeeper, with that Insinuating tone that abarber uses when he suggests shampooing, “the poor, dear girls have a great deal to do. When a lady wants to buy adress, one of the figures 1s cailed up and she puts the dress on to show. how it looks. She walks up and down the shop floor several times and impresses the buyer with the beauty of the dress, which I will confidentially say is due In a great measure to the beauty of the figure. Then the dress is sometimes purchased. Very often, however,the lady is not satisfied with the first dress and the operation is continued indefinitely. In case the purchaser desires to buy a cloak, the figure has to robe herself in all the furs of the season in order to please the customer. The figure dresses and undresses perhaps one hundred times in the course of the day. “When the girls are very attractive, they are very good advertisements for the stores in which they are employed. Their beauty draws custom. ———— K TWAIN E MAR RCISES, With an Axe He Attenrpts to Imitate Washington, Greeley and Glad- stone. From the Ehnira Advertiser. The genial humorist who sits up aloft on the peak of East Hill, and from his elevated perch looks down upon Elmira for his inspiration in courting the comic muse, has been somewhat out of health this summer. Sitting one day at his study window, nursing a little rheu- matism, gazing far away over the peaceful city lying below him, and wondering whether there was one man within its limits who could knock the spots off him on a game of billlards, he was interrupted by the arrival ot the family physician, who called to make a friendiy visit. Into his sympathetic ear was poured the tale of the humorist’s woes, and after @ moment's consultation he remarked, “Clemens, what you need is exercise!” Witha look of gentle reproach, which soon changed to anxious innocence, the hero of many an ex} rience of roughing It (in pictures) and tramps at home and abroad (on Bee) le repli “Well, that’s all right, that’s all right, but who's going to do it for me? You see,” he contin “the men on the place are all busy, and the children ain’t big enough to ac- complish anything, and—" ‘You must do it yourselt!” was the professional stop put to this demur. “Do it myself! How in thunder do you expect—why, what can I do? There ain’'ta good Boker player on this hill, and the nam- mock broke down yesterday, so I can’t use that—’ ‘No, no,” interrupted the doctor, “you must have active exercise; something that looks like work, you know. You can walk down town, or swing dumb-bells, or chop ‘wood, or—” “Hold on, you've struck it,” exclaimed Mars, “I'll chop wood!” “Best thing you could do,” sald the doctor, as he took his leave. “It brings into pity 80, many varied muscles, e: ds the est, deepens the inspiration and superinduces a more bountiful oxygenation by the beautiful pro- cess of endosmosis and exosmosis, and hence the red corpuscles—” ‘Here, have a cigar,” said Twain, pushing a box before him, “an let up on Moses,” ‘‘ You mustn’t smoke, vou know,” the doctor said, as he picked out a weed. “Oh! no, I've stopped smoking,” was the reply, as he carefully placed a sheet of copy paper over three old stumps and a brier pipe; “I found it disagreed with my family long ago.” The doctor departed, and Clemens, with the glow of renewed health already shining in anticipation on his brdw, took one of the farm hands from the harvest field and sent him to town after a new axe. He returned with the tool, bright-bladed, sharp-edged, and spent twenty minutes trying to explain to the be- wildered author why the handle was made crooked, and that red only name. any directions with it?” inquiry. ‘How do they suppose an inexy rienced person can load fire that thin; without rules?” —_ Finally, had the hang of the thing, away, picked one or two flowers and then hastened back, as they heard him shouting their names. “I’ve done enough for to-day!” he said, as they came near. They saw four blisters on his hands and a piece of new leather shining on one of his boots, but no wood lying around. Howeyer, they sald nothing and went home, the hired man carrying the axe. That even- ing, sitting on the piazza, applying arnica to his hands, he sald: “It’s hard work, but I'm going to keep it up! It’s splendid exercise, and just see how it has built up other great men! Why, you know Greeley prolonged his life many years by chopping at Chappaqua, and Gladstone is alive yet and making things hot in Egypt only by reason of the beneficial results of an hour's jopping every day. You just wait a month andsee me! I'll be able to fight Tug Wilson and row Courtney and out-talk her.” All this was several weeks ago. Only a few days since Clemens noticed his new axe lying where he had left it on the feturn from his in- itlal trip, its brightness changed to reproachful rust. lence smote him. He would re- sume exercise. He would attack anew the mon- archs ofthe forest. He would acquire muscle. So he boldly marched forthe same piece of woods and began operations on the old pine. But afew minutes had elapsed before a eturdy six-footer before him; and the following colloquy ensued: “‘Now you skin right out o’here, dum quick, geang sant These is my woods, and you'll learn let folkses pro} alone after I'm through with ye! Git now!” ‘hing on his forehead for an imaginary bead of swest, ‘Twain glanced forties ¢ at the enraged bucolic and sald, ‘Well. wh—w! ms—to be—the matter with you!” ‘Matter! Pll show ye, dum ye! Tryin’ to steal my wood!” “Then what in the —— are you cutting it for?" “Why, for exer- cise, that ll. The doctor sald—" “Oh, that’s too thin! Exercise! You look like s man that would do anything for exercise! Now (with re- newed energy), you get right out o’ here. Right out,” andthe farmer made threatening advances. “But, but, look here, my good man, you don't know wholam. You aretalking to a—” “Yes, Ido know. You're that Clemens! I've heard about you being here four weeks ago, and I’ve had my eye out for you ever since! Now (pick- ing up a pine root), you git.” Clemens took up the axe,cast a ey look on the bucolic, and sadly climbed out of the woods, over the fence and out of danger, the voice of the en- raged landowner ringing in his ears for some distance down the road. Why Mr. Clemens went so far to find a chop- ping place, when there were three orchards be- tween him and the woods, Is not known. Gree- ley wanted to attack his wife's favorite shade trees, and Gladstone has spolled many a valua- ble trunk in the park. They were not particu- lar, and Mr. Clemens should not have been. That is the moral this story is intended to con- vey. ——_—_—_-e-_______ Storm on Lake Asquam. . . . . . oS and vast, a fire-velned darkness we swept Over the rough, pine-bearded Asquam range; A wrath of tombost, wondertul aud sttan : From peak to peak the cloudy giant step) One moment, as if challenging the storm, Chocorua’s tall, deflant sentinel Looked from his watch-tower; then the shadow fell, And the wild rain-drift blotted out his form.

SIBYL’S SAD Loss, Learning Which, Bonnie Bertram Used His Shoulder as a Prop tor Beauty. ° From the Chicago Tribune. “God help me now!” Sibyl Sartoris, as she stood beneath the grate- ful shade of the locust trees that sensuous day in June, when the kissing winds of summer were balmy with the perfume of the rose leaves that the storm of the previous evening had scat- tered along the graveled walks of Coastcliffe Castle, spoke these words in a dreamy, languid fashion. ‘-God alone knowshow I have suffered for your sake, Bertram McMurtry,” the girl said, plucking as she spoke a blossom from the bush that was flaunting its scarlet beauties so.sauclly against the vivid green of the close-trimmed lawn, ‘‘And you, little rose leaf,” she continued, pressing the velvety petals of the flower against lips that were equally soft and crimson, “you would not, if you could, even whisper my secret to the world, for you, too, have troubles and are buffeted about by the cruel winds that blow so rudely against thy pretty face. Not even the ed pansies or the modest violets that nod so demurely in the summer zephyrs shall know my secret,” and with a little laugh that was half @ sob Sibyl started for the melon patch. But ere the little bunionless feet that peeped out so coquettishly from beneath the fleecy white dress had taken many steps Sibyl felt a touch upon her off shoulder. Turning suddenly, she stood face to face with Bertram McMurtry. He was a strong, manly fellow, and the rich, bock-beer tones of his voice thrilled her very blood. “Why are you sad?” he asked. The pretty red lips are drooping now and the hazel eyes dimmed by tears that cannot be re- pressed. “Do you still love me, Bertram?” she asks. You know I love you dearly,” he replied. “As much as you did last Thursday?”—and the pretty face iooks into his with a pleading expression that shows how she has staked her all upon that love. “Just as much,” he answers, drawing her lithe form over in his ward. “Then,” she says, “I will. tell you every- thing. And, oh, I am so desolate, Bertram, 80 desolate.” “What Is the matter, my darling?” he asks, bending over her in alarm. “‘All is lost,” she says. ‘All, all.” “All what?” Nestling close to the man whose matinee tickets she loves, Sibyl says in low, agonized tones: ‘‘All my chewing-gum,” and then her feng falls upon his shoulder amid a storm of sol AUCTION SALES.
