HOW BEARS ARE CAUGHT.

There is something very curious and instruc-
tive in the way bears are trapped, and in our
neighborhood at least the lesson is not far
fetched. There is famous Bob Guyton.
He lives few miles up the Tionesta, and the
Tionesta is but step from such cities as IT.
tusville, Oil City, and Franklin. Right in
the heart of our State, bears are so abundant
that Guyton has caught four or five fat fe-
lows in two weeks Some sportsmen exult
over woodcock, duck, or pheasant. Our
Nimrod gets two dollars quart for oil, fancy
prices for the flesh, and ten dollars and up
ward for the skin. Bears are profitable game
this fall, for they are almost too fat to run,
and fellow of 800 pounds to 500 pounds is
remunerative.
Guyton uses heavy steel-trap, an immense
one, lawful big" for full-grown bear is no
triAe to manage. This he bats with piece
of pork and conceals it in nice place among
leaves and twigs. To it is fastened chain,
say eight feet long, with three large, sharp
hooks at its end. The bear, foraging for his
dinner, finds the pork, and the trap finds him.
He starts for home, trap and all, as though
nothing great had happened: The hooks
catch into tree-roots behind. He turns around
in wrath, and fights and pulls and tugs. He
could doubtless break pretty large chain.
But this pulls loose after struggle. On he
goes, but he is soon caught again. Then
comes another fierce conflict, and again he gets
loose. But he grows tired, and by and by
gives up struggling, and sits down at the end
of his chain-and will sit there for days, un-
1Ll- C. j.. Doo &oIyo -,
other ways, but this is Guyton's way, and it
works we'll. The chief trick is letting the bear
60 loose and easy at first, so that he does not re-
sist to his utmost, when he might get away,
but getting where his anger-biting and tug.
ging at trees and roots, as we'll as trap and
chain-is wasted, and he surrenders.
So we have thought Satan traps men with
strong drink and other bats. He lets them
play loose for while, and they do not think
themselves caught, but they cannot get clear
very easily. they will surrender and be lost,
unless they get the aid of the Dsliuerer.

HE LEADETH ME.

The patter of the little feet on my office
floor and glad voice exclaiming:
"Papa, Use come to 'scort you home !"
made known to me the presence of my little
six year old darling, who often came at that
hour "to take me home," as she said. Soon
we were going hand in hand on the homeward
way.
"Now, papa, let's play as if I was poor
blind girl, and you must let me hold your
hand tight, and you lead me along and tell
me where to step and how to CO."
So the merry blue eyes were shut tight and
we began: Now step up, now step down, here
we 20 round the corner, and so on till we
were safely arrived at home, and the darling
was nesting in my arms, saying, "Wasn't it
nice, papa? l never peeped once" "
"But," said mamma, "didn't you feel afraid
you would fall, dear?"
With look of trusting love came the
answer:
"Oh, no, mamma! I had tight hold Of
papa's hand and I knew he would take me
safely over the hard places"
Dear, trusting childhood! What lesson
to our doubling, troubled hearts! Oh! that
we might with just this loving trust clasp the
Heavenly Fathers hand up and down the
steep paths, round the sharp corners, and
over all the rough places Of this troublous,
changeful life, never letting 60 and never
opening our eyes to wonder or doubt as to
His way-knowing that it will at last bring
us to rest in His loving arms forever more

Of congregation in Georgia, who had been
accustomed to having the hymns lined as it
is termed. The venerable man could not see

ing. To announce his purpose, he arose and
said:
"Nly eyes are dim, cannot see"-and i'm

line to the tune of "Old Hundred" Surprise

This line was Immediately sung by the con-

exclaimed
"Forbear-pray my sight is DIM" but the

Strange as it may seem, this was also sung
with much energy, and the worthy old gentle

TEST OF PURITY.

There is no better test of purity and true
goodness than reluctance to think evil of ones
neighbor, and absolute incapacity to believe
an evil report about good men except upon
the most trustworthy testimony. Alas, that
this large and lovely charity is so rare! But
it is only with those who possess this charity
that men accused of sins against society have
an equal chance with those accused, under
the forms of law, of crime. Every man
brought to trial for crime is presumed to be
innocent until he is proved to be guilty but,
with the world at large, every man slandered
is presumed to be guilty until he proves him
self to be innocent, and even then it takes the
liberty of doubling the testimony. Every
man who rejoices in a scandal thereby adver-
tses the fact of his untrustworthiness and
every man who is panied by it, and refuses to
be impressed by it, unconsciously reveals his
own purity. He cannot believe q bad thing
done by one whom he regards as good man,
simply because he knows he would not do it
himself He gives credit to others for the
virtue that is consciously in his own posses
sion, while the base men around him, whether
Christian in name or not, withhold that credit
because they cannot believe in the existence
of virtue of which they are consciously
empty. When the Master uttered the words,
"Let him that is without sin among you
first cast a stone at her." He knew that none
but conscious delinquents would have the dis
position to do so and when, under this re-
buke, every fierce accuser retired overwhelm-
ed, He, the sinless, wrote the woman's crime
in the sand for the heavenly rains to eface.
If He could do this in case Of guilt not dis
puted, it certainly becomes his followers to
stand together around every one Of their num-
Der whom malice or revenge assaults with
ISLANDERS to which his or her whole life gives
the lie.
In world full of influences and tendencies
to evil, where every good force is needed, and
needs to he ealously cherished and guarded,
there is no chocer treasure and no more be-
nehcent power than sound character. This
is not only the highest result of all the best
forces of our civilization, but it is the builder
of those forces in society and the State. So
ciety cannot afford to have it wasted or des-
troyed and all its instinct of selfpreserva-
ton demands that it shall not be suppressed.
There is nothing so sensitive and nothing so
sacred as character; and every tender chari-
ity, and loyal friendship, and chivalrous af-
fection, and manly sentiment and impulse,
ought to entrench themselves around every
true character in the community so thorough
ly that breath of calumny shall be as harm
less as an idle wind If they cannot do this,
then no man is safe who refuses to make
terms with the devil, and he is at liberty to
pick his victims where he will.

THE Pu1LosopuY OF FRYING.-We have
spoken of frying as the most unhealthful mode
of cooking AS frying is usually done, it GER
tainly is so but writer in the Christian On-
ion shows that there is a scientific way Of
using the frying pan, which obviates most of
the objections to it. The principal points to
be attended to are: First, to use plenty of
fat, so as to cover the article to be cooked,
and, second, to have it boiling hot when the
article is put into it. This instantly creates

s| A Portland fruit dealer caught an ur-
chin stealing nuts, the other day, and pro-
ceeded to administer condign punishment.
The boy begged to be released, because he had
recently been vaccinated fresh from the COW.
"What has that to do with it ?" shouted the
infuriated fruit dealer. "She was a hooking
cow, and it got into my blood" was the whim-
pering reply.
