and cities III this State some time
ago with black bear which he ex-
rihited on the street, performed
with him once too often. Recently
Bernichi appeared at Weldon, North
Carolina, AID there gave cxhibi-
tions. His receipts were larger
than usual and in consequence he
visited the sample room and became
heavily drunken. In this condition
he grew reckless, Of course, and
told the hysianders he would show
them something they had never
seen before. He removed Bruins
muzZle and in Il moment his pet was
nuggiNG HIM and had his teeth in
ms throat. The crowd thought il
was a part Of the performance and
only realized the truth when it was
too late. Presently Bernichi fell,
the blood streaming from his throat
from which Bruin had chewed IL
large piece. and IN few mements
was dead. The struggle Of The man
with the bloody monster is SAID To
have been terrible. The bear was
shot aud BArnichi WAS buried in
the town cemetery.

The --latest Invention i'm Useful
Household Articles.

Within the last few years there has been
expended great deal of inventive thought
and genius upon what may properly be
classed as household articles, the most noted
results of which are the production of the
sewing machine, the wringer, the washing
machine, the carpet sweeper, &c. Almost
every week we chronicle the advent of some
new invention by which the cares and la.
bors of housekeeping are lessened, and wo.
mans work made easy.
The newest thing TO challenge our atten-
ton and gladden. the heart of the housekeep.
er, is, what is called the Novelty Brush hol.
der, Carpet Stretcher and Sweeper, a very
simple contrivance designed to firmly hold
IN position any kind of brush or duster

one to wash or dust windows, walls or cell.

one of its c0nveniences, and it is also one o

the carpet thoroughly, raises no dust, and il
does not wear the carpet like the ordinary
broom or brush, and will outwear a hall

TranspIanting Experience.

Plants should be blaced in a hole filled
with water, and the roots covered with the
dry dirt. They will not wilt when set in
this way. Dig the holes first, and carry the
water along in pail and pour it in, setting
the plant as soon as possible. The water at
the roots will keep the plant fresh and green
and the dry dirt around it at the surface
will keep the moisture from eyaporating
We set a lot of cabbage plants the other day
in the hot sun in this way, and put horse
MANURE around them. Not one died OF
wilted. Tomato plants grow in hot beds are
generally tall slender thingsi they should
be set the same way and bent over so thai
the stalks may be covered up with soil, leav,
ing only the heads out Of the ground. This
is the layering process, and when thus sci
they will do much betterj new roots viii
start out from the stalks or stems, and the
plant will not be knocked about so much by
the winds or wilt so much.-F D. Curtis
