Last Tuesday Mr.. Adam Werle, of
PierpOrt, while chopping wood on the
back part of fathers farm, had quite
an experience with a large black bear.
He felled large dead tree, and, on
going to the top to trim away some
underbrush, was confronted by n large
bear, which leasurely waddled from
AN opening I'm the hollow top. The
snow was very deep, and tile bear
started away, but only moved a few
steps, when 1t turned around and
sprang upon the tree OH which Mr..
Werle was standing. 1t raised upon
its hind legs when within ten feet of
Werle, and presented n very ugly and
defiant look. But Adam was not the
man to get up and dust, under such
circumstances. For few moments
they eyed each other; then in the
twinkliny of an eye Adam pulled Off
his hat and threw II i'm the bears face.
which the bear clasped with it's fore
paws, and In second more it re-
ccived the blade Of the axe in the side
of the neck, which sent it rolling from
the log. Its life WAS thereafter soon
dispatched. Wcrle dragged it to the
road and then went to the house and
got assistance to haul It In. 1t was "a
large bear, but was very poor. Its |
hide was brought to NIanistee We'd
ncsday, and sold for Sl3.' w. Adam is |
now the hero of PierpOrt, and il much |
cOmplimented for his bravery and
Democrat.

Hl-Treatment Of Horses.

Year in and year out horses are kept
in ill-yentilated and dark, damp apart
ments, and yet are expected to keep in
health. 1t may never have occurred to
the average mind that of all animals
which serve useful purposes the horse
is most abused; But it is true If this
animal did not have constitution
'like horse, three-quarters of our
horses would be killed every day. We
are careful of our cows, of our hogs of
our sheep, and of our chickens, but the
poor horse must suffer. Perhaps he is
improperly fed and improperly watered;
from the beginning of winter until
spring he may be compelled to eat one
kind of food, when common humanity
ought to be enough to suggest an occa-
sional feed of roots. He is often
strained beyond all reason, and nothing
thought of the cruelty. He is driven
on cold days until he becomes heated,
and then compelled to stand without
covering until thoroughly chilled But
it is horse, and so nothing is thought
of it. The stable is filthy and badly
ventilated, and every inspiration which
Inc animal taxes WINE IN III Is an lnna-
lation of disease and death-breeding
impurities. The horse is a strong ami
NAL, but the physical system will not
stand everything. If properly taken
care of, horse is seldom sick. Com
mon humanity ought to be enough to
send for graduated veterinary sur
geon to treat their sick animals, and
not for homemade quack to pour
down their horse all the poisonous stuff
they can get into him, which is enough
to Kill any horse in a healthy condition;
then where is the chance for the sick
horse to escape? We have nowadays
so many quacks who profess to be vet
Urinary surgeons and never saw a hos
pital in their lifetime. Such men are
a ruination to our land. They kill
many valuable animal through their
ignorance and foolishness. If farmers
would not employ such quacls they
could save many a valuable animal. =

Using Too Many Words.

The use of too many words is one of
the most common faults in writing.
We were attracted the other day by an
article in newspaper entitled 'sGump-
tion," and hastily concluded that a
writer who could use so homely and
strong a word as the title of his article
must have something good to say about
its And so he had; but he employed a
wild superabundance of words to ex-
press his thoughts. For example !:
"There are many persons, the majority
of persons, in fact, who see, but do not
perceive" This awkward sentence be-
comes good one by simply leaving out
the redundant words, thus: "Rhe ma
jority of persons see, but do not per-
ceive.'' It would be still better, per-
haps, to avoid the long majority, and
say: "Most persons see, but do not
perceive" Thus by erasing nine
words from sentence of sixteen, the
thought is more clearly expressed be-
cause it is more directly stated. The
writer then remarks that many persons
have habit of postponing and put
ting off" what ought to be done at
once. The words "and postponing"
are useless. In explaining the "pro-
cess" by which men are to get gump-
ton, he throws about his words with a
lavish hand.
"It is NEITHER he says, "more nor
less than the doing and completing of
anything that needs to be done upon
the instant, without delay or postpone
ment, and at the same time a careful
observation of what is going on around
one'' BY the omission of more than
half the words Of this bad sentence, it
is converted into Q fairly tolerable one.
1T is the doing Of what needs to Be

Arranging for Cremation.

Five cheerful-looking gentlemen sat
round table at 800 Vine street last
night and advanced the National Gre
nation Society from the preliminary to
the full-fiedged stage. Books and pa
pers were scattered before them, letters
lay about ready for consideration, the
Secretary made notes so steadily that
he had scarcely time to talk, and every
indication of lively business was pres
ent to the visitor The evening work
was principally the consideration of re-
quests for admission, letters of inquiry,
and the adoption of necessary rules, and
by the time the adjournment was effect
ed the society was made fully ready to
90 on with its work The organization,
which is the first of it's kind in Amer
lea, was started about month ago by
six gentlemen and one lady, who
thought a popular move in favor of Gre
nation could be better induced through
an organization than by mere individual
example. Otto Gantzer, who was one
of the most active in advocating the
idea, was made President, and, after
some rules had been drawn up, the Off
electing Frank Rosenau Vice-President;
Frantz Joseph, Secretary; Max Rose
nau, Financial Secretary; Rudolph
Solder, Treasurer, and David
Kleinman, Trustee. The rules re-
ferred principally to the methods in
which funerals should be conducted, and
provided that the society should furnish
a coffin. hearse and one carriage, and
pay all other expenses of transporting
the body from the late residence to the
crematory If the relations of the de-
ceased wished to invite their friends or
make any of the usual display of fu-
neral they were to have the right to do
so at their own expense. Communica-
ton with the owners of the crematory
at Washington, Pa, brought back the
answer that they would reduce bodies
to ashes at the rate of $40 apiece, and
it was decided to make the Washington
institution the active agent in carrying
out the society work. To provide a
fund for expenses a classified entrance
fee is provided, based on a somewhat
similar expectation of life to that in use
by life insurance companies. Persons
from p to 90 years of age will pay SO
per year; from 30 to 80 years, 81; IS to
80 years, So; 40 to A years, Sc; a. to

Members over so years old will have to
pay the full expenses, and class of
members who will not take active part
in the society's affairs will also be
charged the full price.-PhiEadelpAio

A Whipping Story.

A boy-no matter his name, for he
sits in Parliament nova boy who was
both nervous and credulous, had been
made to believe that decoction of fresh
walnut juice used as ointment would
harden any part of the body to which it
was applied. Having been complained
of on half-holiday. and anticipating
that he should have to ''stay at nine
on the morrow, he procured some green
walnuts, squashe6 their juice out into a
basin, and daubed himself freely with
the liquid over night.
Next morning he found to his dismay
that he had stained himself to rich
mahogany color, which would not wash
off. 1t was in vain that be rubbed him.
self with soapy sponge and called upon
his neighbors to assist him in this oper-
alton; the stains would not go; several
of his friends, however, treasured him
by saying that they did not show much,
and it was on the faith of these state
ments that the self-painted one went
into school. At n:~e o'clock he went
into the swishing room, and being too
shy to give the head master hint OF
what had happened, knelt down with
out a word. DR.. G. fairly recoiled.
But when the sixth form preposter,
who had got an inkling of the story,
laughingly explained how and for what
purpose walnut juice had been used,
the doctors mirth was too great to allow
him to proceed with the castigation.
He threw down the birch and hurriedly
left thereon. sSeuen Years at Eton. =

Arrow root is recommended as the
thickening for custards and sauces of
all kinds, both for buildings and for
meats. 1t is preferred to corn starch
by many, on account of the flavor.
"A practical farmer recommends
the growing of two crops of buckwheat
in succession, as a means Of exter-
minating wire-worms. They will not
eat buckwheat, and are starved to

Corn which is hilled will blow
down more readily than that which has
level culture. This can be accounted
for by the fact that corn-roots run very
near the surface, and when hills are
made they are confined to the small
space covered by the hill, while in level
culture the roots run from one row to
the other, thus enabling the corn to
stand strong, as nature intended, and

Temperance Legislation.

we note with great satisfaction the
decided progress of Temperance prin-
c1ples in many parts of the country.
The plans of action differ. but all tend
IN one direction, the diminution of the
liquor traffic. High-priced licenses are
advocated here and elsewhere. This,
says the Mail and Express, reduces
the number of groggeries to a minimum,
and at the same time discourages the
sale of rum without license, since il
gives the holders of license pecuniarv
motive to prevent Illegal competition.
If license cost $1,000 or 81, 800 in
New York the rum shops might soon be
reduced to one for every 500 of popula-
ton, and the clandestine dealers would
be less numerous than at present, be-
cause the licensed dealers would COM
bine to drive them out of the business. "
In the State of Georgia the Local
Option law is said to be working well.
This is a thoroughly democratic meas
ure. 1t allows the voters in definite
district to determine, by a majority,
whether or not hqnor may be sold. A
law of that kind keeps the subject in con-
slant agitation, and the more it is dis
cussed the more clearly it appears that
the traffic is hostile to the welfare of
the community.
Some Arkansas people were very
much surprised the other day to see 3

dollars under the Especial Liquor
law" which forbids rum-sellino within
two miles of an academy. This is a pc
culiar feature. within two miles of
any church. is another provision. We
would like to see such law in this part
of the country. But they must be get
ting ahead of us in Arkansas if they
protect their schools so effectually as to
forbid the sale of liquor within two miles
of one.
In Arkansas the new law enables the
majority of the adult inhabitants, male
and female, by petition to secure Pro-
hibition within two miles of any church
or school, except in cities of the first
and second class. 1t allows native
wines.
Ohio submits two propositions for the
votes of the people at the next State
election:
1. "The General Assembly may by
law provide for levying special taxes or
assessments on the traffic in intoxicating
liquors, and shall by law provide against
the evils resulting therefrom.
2. 1.-THE manufacture and traffic in
intoxicating liquors in this State to be
used as beverage is forever prohib-
tied
ELECTORS desiring to vote in favor of
the first proposition shall have on their
ballots the words: Taxation of liquor

to vote in favor of the second PROPOSE
ton shall have on their ballots the
