About Bears.

| The provisions of nature are
strange Climate forces upon ami
mails different habits. Towards the
end of December the female white
bear places herself in position
where the snow will drift over her.
Lying still upon a rock, the snow
falls thickly upon her, and cell IS
formed for winter habitation. In
this cell the animal resides during
the period of accouchement. The
cubs are produced, and the mother
remains secluded with them until
the month of March. The young are
very small at first, but as they grow
the heat of the bodies melt the snow
and thus enlarges the cell. The
warm breath ascends upward, and
makes an aperature for the admis-
sion Of pure air. Before hiberna
ting, the bear eats enormously of
nutritious food, and becomes very
fat, ON which fat she exists during
her winter retirement. The phe-
nomenon is all the more singular, as
the female bear is compelled to give
sustenance to her young as well as
to live herself, and the surplus fat in
her own body her only store of food.
Pertinent to this, DR.. Wood re.
marks ut is worthy of notice that
in the bears of the Old as well as the
New World, is found the curious
phenomenon of the 'tappen, a hard
concreted substance, which plugs up
the intestlnes and seems to be of
service in retaining the animal in
condition, In Scandinavia, where
the bears of both sexes retire to
winter quarters, and remain in their
hidden reoesses for five full months,
the tappen is very seldom cast until
the bear leaves her den. In the rare
instances where such an event has
happened, the bear is said to have
become miserably thin and weak"
The snow packs closely, and makes
a warm bed. The caloric exhaled
from the body is not swept away by
the wind, but is conserved around
the animal, and sensation is pre-.
served. Turf Field and Farm.

you will always respect your future
mother.
John, with quiet smile, assured
him that he was pleased with his
choice, This pleased the general
nightly, for he had been a little
afraid John would object to step
mother younger than himself.
The next morning the general or.
dered Powhattan brought out and
led over to Mrs. Fauntloroy's. Call
ing John, he requested HIN to call
upon Mrs. Fauntleroy.
The Wing party has disgraced
itself in Mr.. Clay's district, sir, and

pay my wager with that lady, sir.
The black boy had led Powhattan
to the hitching rail in front of Mrs.
Fauntleroy's yard and, having tied

tell his brothers and sisters of their
mistress S great good luck in having
won the famous horse Powhattan.
When General Peyton and John
arrived, they found the pretty widow
and two young lady friends in the
yard admiring Powhattan.
The ladies were in high glee, and
after the usual salutations, the gen
tlemen were invited to take seats on
the porch, which they did.
" Madam" said the general to
Mrs. Fauntloroy, "I have come
here, like a true Kentucky gentle
man, to pay the wager l have lost
Powhattan, madam, is rightfully
yours"
But, general" said she, al be-
Iieye the wager was conditional. 1t
was the horse or anything else on
the place, was it not ?"
Madam" he replied, "you are
correct. But there is nothing on
my place one half in value of Pow
haitian. | cannot permit you to Sc
lect an inferior animal"
The pretty widow blushed to the
tips of her fingers when she said:
" You have another and superior
animal here-your son John; if he
would but use his tongue, l think |
shall choose him."
There was a moment of dead 81
Hence, then laugh, in which the
general did not join.
He rose, and in the blaudest man
ner, bado the ladies good night.
To John he said: "Sir, you will re-
main"
And that was the way John Pey-
ton came to marry the pretty widow
Fauntleroy.
General Peyton never forgave his
pretty daughter-in law her practical
joke. In after years he used to say
" Sir, she is the finest lady in the |
Blue Grass district, but she lacks

Some thirty years ago | lodged
from Saturday to Monday with an
inn-keoper in the country, who was
also a farmer. On the table for Sun
day dinner there was nice piece Of
| picked pork, boiled the day before.
On tasting it | thought it the most
delicious | ever ate. | requested
"mine host to give his recipe for
curing pork, He replied as follows:
"As soon as my hogs are dressed
and cool enough to be cut, | pack
the side pieces in a barrel or cask,
with plenty of salt on all sides of
each piece, and when my barrel is
full [ Immediately roll it to my
pump and pump in water until | can
see the water cease to sink III the
vessel or to moisten the salt on top
of the cask, / then lay fiat stone
as large as the vessel will admit on
the contents, so as to keep the pork
always under the salt or pickle. /
put it in my cellar, covered so as to
exclude the flies, and there it re-
mains until u piece is wanted. Care
must be taken to keep the meat
under the pickle, otherwise it viii
rust.
Here is the whole secret of max
ing good picked pork for family use.
We hayeus d the above method, and
we want no better, easier, or more
economical plan. 1t has often hap
pened that when we wanted to put
down new pork there remained some
of the old pork in the bottom Of the
cask. In that case we poured off
this pickle, took the undissolyed
salt, packed the fresh pork on top of
the old, using the salt which had
been in the cask, with the addition
of fresh salt il necessary, and then
poured on the old pickle or water.
In this way we have had pork three
or four years in the bottom of our
pork barrel, and when used it was as
free from rancidity as it was three
weeks after it was put down. In
deed, we seldom emptied our pork
barrel, except when it wanted hoop
ing. We believe that boiling pickle
is useless, if not injurious. Pork
ought not, if it can be prevented, to
be frozen before it is put down,
The best pork that we ever saw
was that from some pigs under the
charge of a lad, who took as much
care Of them as some people do Of
their children. Every day he used
to give them dinner Of hot pota-
toes, for he said that he didn't see
why his pigs shouldn't have their
'taters hot as well as himself" Then
he used to scrub them several times
week with brush and soap, rinsing
them well with clear water. The
animals seemed to enjoy their lava
ton and used to press quite eager
ly toward him as he came in sight
with his pail and scrubbing-brush
Their sty was also kept perfectly
clean, and their troughs washed out
frequently. In consequence the
pork was perfection.
AS a general thing it is good
plan to reject pork made from hogs
that have been kept by distillers or
butchers; but, if possible, get pork
that has been bred and led by a
dairyman aud finished off with corn.
