The Bear Not i'm Winter Society.

Like the hedgehog, the bear depends
entirely upon it's accumulation of fat,
and during the fall is in prime con-
diton, when, in October or November,
it enters npou its winter home. One OF
these nests of the black bear, found by
the writer several miles from Lake
Utowana, in the Admondacks, was be-
meath huge tree, four or five of whose
great roots branched out ON each side.
The earth had been removed on the
south side. the interior lined with leaves,
twigs and other refuse matter that
would make n comfortable bed, and,
covered with snow in dense Jungle,
the animal had perfect security. Soon
after the bear has retired the intestines
shrink and become clogged or hardened
with a substance known as tappan, IN
reality pine leaves and the bark of fir
trees that they eat Immediately prior to
entering upon the state of Information,
that remains in position until spring,
and so slow is the exhaustion of fat,
that is now the food-supply. that
animals have been found five months
after their involuntary intombment as
fat as when they went in. During the
sleep the skin upon the balls of the
feet is renewed. The males of the
polar bear do not hibernate, fact
proved by the late polar expedition Of
the yacht Ezra.

Cured OF lntemperance.

Men are cured of intemperance at an
institution in New York known as the
Christian Home for Incorporate Men
by a peculiar method. 1t seems that
cures are effected by treating drunken
ness as a sin, no Incorporate man being
received unless he expresses desire to
become q Christian. None is received
for less than four weeks, and some stay
as long as three months. No liquor Is
ever allowed for "tapering-off," as it is
called, and yet, contrary to the gener-
ally received opinion, no cases of de-
lirium tremens, arising from sudden
deprivation of the accustomed stimu-
liant, are reported. Warm milk with a
little salt in it, beef tea, and, in excep-
tionally bad cases, bromide of potas-
SUM are administered. Victims of the
| opium habit have been also cured, some
of whom had taken as much as 260
grains per day. Tobacco is excluded
as vigorously as liquor The patients
have the use of library and reading
room. are expected to attend upon the
large number of religious exercises
which take place daily, and to sign a
promise pledging themselves upon their
honor not to use while in the house, or
have in their possession, liquor, opium
or tobacco. ADJUSTMENTS are not en-
couraged; inmates are expected to
read, write, mediate and pray. There
is no physician, the idea being that if

Evans Elevated.

WASHINGTON. May 2l.-Hon. Walter
Evans, of Louisville, was to-day nomi-
mated by the president as commissioner
of internal revenue to succeed Raum, is
a lawyer about Al years old. He served
as lieutenant in the federal army during
the war, and was elected member Of
Kentucky legislature from Christian
county in 1873. In 1879 he was nomi-
mated for governor on the republican
ticket and made an active canvass of the
state. In 1880 he WAS elected delegate
to the Chicago convention and was one
of the 306 who supported Grant, and
has not heretofore held an appointed
office, although he has had considerable
influence in the distribution of federal
patronage in Kentucky. He is a warm
friend of Postmaster General Gresham,
and it is understood later that he was
instrumental in securing Evans APP
pointment.

The Indian Troubles Reaching a Crisis.

Ell PALso, Texas, May 19.-The In
dian situation along the border is be-
coming more serious every hour.
Although Gen Crook has not been
heard of. it is evident from the several
small bands of Indians that are coming
out of the mountains that he has dis
turbed them. Gen. Riegera telegraphs
tonight that band of sixty Apaches
left the Sierra Madre mountains and
crossed toward the Texas border. This
is the party that had little Charley Nc
Comas. The band killed two Mexicans
and took several women and children
prisoners. Mexican troops fare in hot
pursuit. All sorts of rumors of afro
cites by Indians are floating about,
but they cannot be verified, and are,
no doubt, to great extent fictitious,
although there is great danger in sew
eral localities. On the 14th Gen.
Riegera sent $50 men to make a
junction with Crook. They were to
make forced marches, and the Mexican
commander expects to hear from this
column of Gen. Crooks position and
movements in less than two days. He
thinks Gen. Crook has his own reasons
for not communicating with any one so
far. and has no fears of his safety. A
person named Campbell came from
Mexico last night. who claimed to have
come from Gen. Crook, and that he had
been delayed and would only reach
Janos yesterday. Col. Una and other
military officers put no faith in his story
A crisis in this trouble must be soon
reached.

ISALE OF STATE LANDS.
Right Or Wrong.

The HERALD
The creamery men, heretofore, in the
"region round about" here have taken
one and three-fourths inches, in depth
of cream from the old fashioned can,
eight and half inches in diameter, for
a pound of butter, or ninety-nine and
thirty cubic inches. Now
they come along with the Fairlamb
can, twelve inches in diameter, and
take one inch in depth from that can
for pound; or one hundred-thirteeu
and nine hundreths GU bic inches, or
nearly fourteen cubic inches more cream
than they have hitherto claimed would
make pound of butter.
We have talked with many dairy-men
who have tested the matter with the old
can, and without an exception they say
that one and three-fourths inches from
that can, or about ninety-nine cubic
inches will make pound of butter.
We have no inclination to injure the
creameries, we merely wish to see fair
play. But if ninety-nine cubic inches
of cream will make pound of butter,
why should the ereameries take one hun
dred and thirteen cubic inches?-or why
should the farmers allow themselves to
be got away with to the amount Of
fourteen cubic inches on every gauge Of
cream they sell?
