The performers generally are paic
pretty good wages, for they only work
from twenty-six TO thirty weeks in

Nor is the life Of the performer 50

more than ten minutes each. They
perform twice a day, which makes
twenty minutes in all that they are at

unloading again. Six months OF this

restrict various classes TO single bless

sus reports in future years. According
to one set of logicians no clergyman
should marry; another opposes the
union Of couples not scientifically ma.

TO age; thousands look with horror on
any one who would wed an irreligious
person, and now comes a reformer
who says criminals should not be al

fools are the only classes exempted
from special prohibitions that are de-
manded, and as these constitute the
great part Of the marrying world and
particularly need restraint there is no
knowing how soon they, too, may fall
under the ban of those who know just
how marriage should be regulated. II
is time for the various interests

The Island of Jersey, having a sur.
face of seven miles each way, keeps
$1,000 cows. The breeding of cows
has made the island very fertile, and,
as the animals are kept in stables all
the year round, every particle of the
manure is saved. Cows kept in close
yards, with little exercise are generally
better mixers than those allowed to
to run at large, and it is this in part
which has developed the dairy value
Of the Jersey breed. In winter the
cows are largely fed on parsnips,
which has probably helped develop
the butter superiority of this breed Of
cattle.

HAULING WATER.-It is often nee
essary to haul water for quite a dis
lance; and it is sometimes desirable to
haul it in a barrel that has one head
removed for convenience in dipping it
out with pail. This may be done
without the water stopping out if a
cover is made an inch or so smaller in
diameter than the top of the barrel, so
as to rest on the surface of the water,
and not on top of the barrel.

Some Entertaining Maine Bear Stories

Bears are getting so uncomfortable
numerous around Moosehead Lake as
to alarm even the old Indians and other
settlers by their frequent boldness and
surprising cunning. The other night
members of the family of George c.
Luce, living about two miles northwest
from the head of the lake and near the
branch of the Penobscot River, were
aroused by John Abbo, who had heard
an unusual noise in the pantry, aud
coming down stairs they saw by light
shining from Mr. Luce's bedroom a
large bear helping himself TO family
provisions. Abbo's gun was standing
near the pantry door and within foot
Of the bear, which unconcernedly
watched the approach of Abbo, while he
tested the various articles within reach
All this was going on while Mr.. and
Mrs. Luce slept, oblivious to the intru-
sion, within a few feet of the scene.
Abbo finally succeeded in reaching his
gun, when the bear retreated through
the pantry window, which he had
smashed on getting into the house.
Mitchell Francis. an Indian sleeping in
an adjoining bed, was aroused by the
breaking glass, and he, together with
Abbo, drove the bear into the wood
shed, but were unable TO shoot
with any certainty on account
of the darkness. Finding himself
cornered, Bruin made plunge
and went completely through the rear
Of the shed, which was strongly boarded,
and escaped in the darkness. In about
an hour, however, Abbo found the brute
in the pantry again, as did Luce. This
time Abbo went 10 the window Just in
time TO save the retreat, and with
out stopping to raise the window took
aim, fred and the bear fell, though
he was not finally despatched until
he had made a desperate fight in
the door-yard. His weight was be-
tween three and four hundred
pounds. Thursday night, just after the
Bratileborough fishermen had come off
the lake. Mitchell Francis discovered a
bear in the road near Savage's Hotel.
where the party were stopping. Three
shots killed him. He weighed over
three hundred, and his head and paws
were divided among the party. The
following day another was seen BY one
of the guides who was unarmed. A
bear brokeiinto one of the store-houses
on the Penobscot the other night and
carried of hams, fsh ard a quantity Of
other articles. Sunday three sizable
bears were brought into " Kineon BY
the guides. Deer. moose and caribou
are very plenty in the region. but the
law and the flies prevent the hunting Of
them. -Bosion Transcript
