Sian's Mllllom Priests.
According to a lecture on Slam deliv-
ered recently In London by Jobn Bart-
lett, that country haa more than Its
share of priest*. The population of
Siam, he said, amounted to about
6,000,000, and a curious feature was
the large preponderance of Chinese,
more especially in Bangkok. The Chi-
nese practically controlled all the trade
and commerce of the place. There
were hardly any Siamese merchants.
One million of the people were In the
priesthood. He had traveled up river
through the main territory of Siam for
a distance of 330 miles, and during the
Journey It bad been absolutely impos-
sible to get out of sight of a temple.

clinging gave way, and he sank feet
first Into the hollow center. All efforts
to escape were impossible, and the
pious hunter had resolved to pass the
remainder of his life In prayer, when
toward night his supplications were In-
terrupted. Looking up, he beheld the
eye of a bear looking straight down
at him.
Then the animal turned about and
backed down the Inside of the stump.

Now it was the
bear’s turn to be frightened. He
scrambled up again, while the hunter
hung on for his life and was carried
with safety to the top.
Here the bear’s real trouble began,
for with so heavy a weight it was Im-
possible for him to turn about and
back down, so he tried it head first,
but that was no easy matter to the
beast, and he fell with a heavy thud
to the ground below and was killed,
while Uncle Jess went home and told
the truthful tale, to be handed down
to his children.—Springfield Republic-

There is a story connected with the
last bear killed about here which fond
grandpapas often told the children
seated on their knees. It appears that
the celebrated “Uncle Jess” bad spent
all his life as a trapper and hunter, and
never a mishap had befallen him. But
one night, in bis anxiety to shake a
coon, he climbed the shell of an old
tree.

Franklin’s time honored and cumu-
lative adage, “For want of the nail the
shoe was lost, for want of the shoe the
horse was lost, for want of the horse
the man was lost,” should have the
addendum of twine and paper bags
put to It to make it complete.
Few things are more aggravating
than to be ready to tic up a package
and find uo string, or to carry a few
apples, oranges, eggs or bulbs a short
distance aud find uo bag to hold them.
Strings should always be wound In a
ball and kept ready for immediate use
where the family may find them, and
paper bags, as soon as emptied, should
be folded neatly and laid in a drawer
for use as needed.
