The Woman was Boss.

The pupils of the South Jamaica
school are reputed to be hard to manage.
Several teachers, male and female, failed
in attempting to either subdue or edu-
cate them, and left in disgust. Last fall
the trustees engaged as principal Miss
Annie Teller, hitherto a very successful
teacher She had uphill work Of it, but
the school began to prosper, and con-
tinued to do So The people were de-
lighted with the change, and the trustees
advanced her salary. But there was one
boy, the leader of the disorderly party,
whom she had not subdued. His name
is Smith, and he is 16 years old. Yes
terday he was so unruly that Miss Teller
had to take him in hand A mild fog
cling seemed to suit him. The second
one he did not relish, and left the school
muttering filthy language. He returned
later, and with his father, who remained
outside. The conflict was resumed.
The application of the rod made him
shout for help, and at the moment his
father entered. He stands full six feet
high, and is stout in proportion. He
undertook to "bull-dose Miss Teller,
and wrested the rattan from her grasp.
She then seized the fre-shovel, and
made it so hot for Smith and his boy that
they had to retreat in rapid order. The
trustees say amen to it. They say that
the teacher must control the school or it
will be closed. Brooklyn Eagle.

A Contest with a Bear.

Mr.. Henry Strong, now at home from
the plains on visit, tells very good
bear story in which he took an active part.
One very hot day he started out on a
round up with two other men, one Of
whom, likehimself, was mounted on good
horse, and the other on a young broncho
On account of the excessive heat, they
left their rifles and revolvers in camp, and
took nothing but their lariat ropes with
them. When about fourteen miles from
camp they found a large cinnamon bear
out on the plains, and, with such weap-
ons as they had, proceeded to attack and
kill it. Mr.. Strong threw his rope over
the bears head, but before he could
tighten it the bear struck it with his paw,
and was caught by the rope around his
leg, near the shoulder. It was then the
bears turn to attack, and it required
pretty skillful horsemanship to escape
the attacks Of the Infatuated bear The
idea never entered the minds of these
men to let the bear go. After time the
other well-mounted man got chance to
throw his rope and caught the bear by
one of it's hind legs. The bear then made
d charge upon the man mounted on the
broncho. The broncho was too terrified
to run, but, after the bear had torn it's
launches badly and wounded the rider,
it succeeded in kicking the bear away
After this had been going on for some
time this man dismounted, and, while the
other men stretched the bear out as we'll
as they could with their ropes, stabbed it
with a jack-knife repeatedly, until, from
loss of blood and fatigue, it gave up the
fight and suffered itself to be killed. The
struggle lasted about three hours. The
bear was estimated to weigh about seven
hundred pounds. After skinning it with
this small jack-knife, the skin was found
to be cut so badly that it was not worth
saving. -Rattlaaad (Vt) Herald.

Desiderata i'm Smoking.

According to DR.. BERTRAND, in the
Tribune INedic0le, whatever be the mode
of smoking, direct contact of the tobacco
with the "mucus buccalis mucous
lining Of the cheeks-and the teeth must
be avoided; cigars should be smoked in
an amber, ivory, or enameled porcelain
mouthpiece' to smoke, by relighting
them, portions of cigars that have been
extinguished, together with the system
of blackened and juicy pipes, must be
avoided, as it is the surest way of being
affected by nicotine every smoker would
do well, if practicable, to rinse his
mouth after smoking, and it would be
we'll to subject pipes and bowls in which
tobacco has been burning to frequent
washings either with ether or with water
mixed with alcohol or vinegar The
cigarette is preferable, by reason of its
slight qlantitative importance, and the
paper which interferes with the contact
of it's contents with the buccal mucous
membrane; but to realize all the beside
rata in this case it would be necessary to
have the "papeGto made Of flax thread,
and to abstain from the practice-which
has become SO universal-of retaining the
aspiration at the back of the mouth, so
as to pour it out of the nostrils after
ward,
