The Winter Food OF Bears.

Hunters who roam about the
| Sierra mountains often stu mble
upon hard round balls which
have the appearance Of pine
knots turned down on = lathe.
The are usually the size Of ones
two fists and for long time
their origin has been a mystsry.
George Small, who lives at Lake
View, states that these balls
found about the woods came
from bears. In the Fall when
the bear goes into Winter quar-
tiers, he finds a pine Enot gnaws
it with his teeth and scrapes it
with his claws until the rough
edges are taken off and then
swallows it. This remains in
his stomach until Spring and
he then throws i: up in a smooth
round form. The probabilities
are that the knot serves the
double purpose Of keeping the
empty stomach destended and
allowing something for the gas
tric juices TO work upon. Ii IL
bear is Wasened from his Win
ter sleep he must 60 out and
get food, else if he sleeps again
he comes cut Of his tong nap in
the Spring Worn almost to IA
skeleton. IF lie is undistufbed
he emerges from his cave almost
as we'll conditioned as he went
in. Lr. Smill has several OF
these balls Oh exhibition at Lake
View. The balls are frequently
found early in the Spring bear
ing evidence Of having recently
come from the bears stomach
and on one OCCASION boy named
Williams aVows that he saw a
bear throw up pine knot and
almost turn double somerset |
doing it.

4 esiut 10 Potato Growers.

A California pa,ato raiser
says: To every hill of potatoes,
cut in quarters or halves, be
puts Il quart Of sawdust. The
crop is doubled and the tubers
are larger and smoother.
Besides not a single tuber is un-
sound. Straw or shaving5 may
perhaps do as well us sawdust.
The Reno Gazette suggests that
Truckee could ship thousands
of tons Of sawdust to the potato
growing regions Of California,
and thereby save a destruction
Of fish in the river of its name.
Fish saved and potatoes grown
would be a big thing for the
State.

A few days ago James W. Murphey
and James Twaddell met at Fairville,
Pa, and bantered each other to trade
horses. Mr.. Murphey's horse was III
the stable at the time, and he suggested
that Twaddell should take Il look at
him, but Mr.. T. replied that he had
seen the horse often, and 1t was not
worth while. After considerable hig.
Cling. an even trade was finally agreed
upon. When Murphey brought hir
horse out of the stable, Twaddell motto
ed that he was lame, and declared that
he would not stand to his agreement.
Murphey insisted that the trade was a
fair one, and proceeded to hitch the nag
to Twaddell's wagon, and then harness
Twaddel's horse to his own vehicle and
drove off. Twaddell let the team stand
where Murphey had left it, and went
and consulted a magistrate. He ii al
ly, however, took the horse home On
consulting other parties, he determined
to turn the horse over to the authorities
as a stray, and prefer charge against
Murphey of stealing his horse. He ac.
cordingly had a warrant issued, and
Murphey was arrested and taken &c
West Chester. Luckily some officers
knew him, and instead of being placed
IN prison, as Twaddell intended, he wat

NOT GETTING WORSE.

We often hear doleful complaints
that "the world is very evil, the times
are waxing late " 1t is pleasant to
hear testimonies Of cheerer strain.
When DR.. Dwight assumed the Presi-
dency of Yale College there was but
one protesting christian among the
students. In Harvard College it was no
better. Scepticisrn and atheism were
every where rampant, and intidei clubs
In the colleges and among the people
were a feature of the day. All that
was, how many years ago? Fifty,
sixty, seventy years only. Aud what
is the aspect of affairs now? The hall
erected to the memory of Tom Paine, in
Boston, has been sold under fore
closure of mortgage. OF the 300 institu-
tons in America, called colleges and
universities, go are supported by
christian churches, and Of their 5000
students, the church teaches all but
5000.
These are constructed at the expense
of the State. A majority of the stu
dents Of old Harvard are from the
evangelical churches. Then there was
but one member of the church for fifteen
of our population, and but one minister
for every 1000 If the people. To-day
there is one church member to every
five inhabitants, and one minister to
every $50 persons. 1t is the testimony
of Professor Seelye, of Amherst College,
that, Notwithstanding our great foreign
immigration, and our acquisition OF
Texas and California and New Mexico,
the membership Of our Protestant
evangelical churches has increased,
since 1900, two and half times faster
than the population.
The figures of Professor Diman, of
Brown University, as to the relative in
crease of church buildings are to this
effect In 1777, when the population
of the country was 100000 the num-
Der of organized churches was less than
1000. In 1872, the population being
IS, 600, 900, or thirteen times larger than
in 1777, the churches numbered $4,000,
or thirty-six times as many as in l177
That is to say, one hundred years ago
there was but one church to every 800
people. To-day there is one to every
528.
