A huge silver-tippcd bear was brought in
the first of the week from Leon Park, on the
Grand Mesa. 1t was shot by "Buckskin
BilI'-William A. Jones-while hunting up
there. He had killed a large buck and hung
it up; his bruinship made Il raid on the camp
that night and carried it off into the brush.
The next morning Mr.. Jones took the track,
and ran across the bear a few hundred yards
from camp, with the carcass of the deer; the
bear turned on him and showed savage fight,
when Mr.. Joues put an end to his earthly
career by we'll directed shot The bear was
in extra fine condition. very fat, and weighed
over 800 pounds. William A. Jones and ID.
s. Leach, both old and experienced hunters,
are now hunting near the park, and have
sent to market already this season over
thirty deer.

Advantages Of q Vegetable Diet.

In recent issue of the London Times
appeared an article which will have
some interest for eaters of flesh, as well
as those who are occupied in producing
meats, since it attempts to show that
'rf it were not for flesh food physicians
would have very little to do. The au-
thor. DR.. Allinson. holds that few do
nestle animals are free from ailments,
fat ones particularly being more or less
diseased. The liver, kidneys, and lungs
Of eaters Of meats are over-taxed to rid
the system of the excess Of nitrogen
taken in with the meat diet, and disease
results. Those who live in towns can
not with safety eat much flesh because
they do not get oxygen and exercise
enough 10 burn the excess Of nitrogen.
II they eat much flesh then they must
suffer from many complaints, such as
indigestion, bilious attacks, conges,ed
liver. hemorrhoids. gastric catarrh, and
other gastric troubles. II the habi, be
continued, gall stones or urinary cal
Gull may follow. or rheumatism and
gout. Then the kidneys become dis
eased and more work is thrown on the
heart, which also becomes diseased;
the end is death by one Of the lingering
diseases, which shows diseased organ
somewhere. Even epilepsy and many
nervous diseases are aggravated
by flesh. OF course. holding
such views. DR.. Allinson is be-

without cruelty; that 1t can easily be

Oil for Wagon Wheels.

A practical man says: II have q
wagon of which, six years ago, the fel-
Toes shrunk so that the tires became
loose. gave it a good coat of hot
oil, and every year since it has had a
coat of oil or paint, sometimes both.
The tires are tight yet, and they have
not been set for eight or nine years.
Many farmers think as soon as wagon
felloes begin to shrink they must go at
once to a blacksmith shop and get the
tire set. Instead of doing that, which
is often damage to the wheels, caus-
ing them them to dish, if they will get
some some linseed oil and heat it boil
ing hot and give the felloes all they
can take, it will fill them up to their
usual size and tighten to keep them
from shrinking, and also to keep out
the water. II you do not wish to go to
the trouble of mixing paint, you can
heat the oil and tie rag to stick and
swab them over as long as they will
take oil. A brush is more convenient
to use; but swab will answer if you
do not wish to buy brush. 1t is quite
a saving Of time and money 10 look af-
ter the woodwork Of farm machinery.

The other day tramp entered an
Office in Chattanooga and requested
the loan of money enough to buy him

ing relatives were anxiously expecting
him and would give him the money on
his arrival to return the borrowed

The old gentleman, who was busily
at work replied sharpely that he didn't
have any money to lend. and when the
tramp still persisted, abruptly ordered
him out. The dead-bcat retortcd i'm

catory wave of his hand, as he moved

The Latest Boston Notion.

II is rumored. says Boston paper.
that syndicate representing over sl0o.-
900, 900 has been formed for the pur-
pose Of developing and introducing nm
invention which Is said to combine the
usefulness Of the telegraph and tele-
phone with that Of the electric light.
The plans of the company. for some un-
explained reason. are kept very dark.
and the possibilities OF the invention
are somewhat indefinite; enough so to
challenge doubt of the reality OF the
whole thing, " the claims put forward
by those who talk about II were not so
positive and evidently serious. One
gentleman, who said hc was not at
liberty to state the names Of the invcn-
tors or to go into particulars at present
said; "Thc electric light will soon be
n thing OF the past The disk Is an
electric apparatus, and by II we. in the
night time, can receive sunlight, from
any point on the earth where the sun is
shining. Don't be incredulous. my

any kind. In action or reposc, however
distant, which can be focused on the
disk at the transmitting end of the
wire, are registered with Photographic
accuracy on the disk at tho delivery
end. These particulars are all given,
with moro or less positiveness, by Other
persons who seemed able and willing to
talk about the invention. None Of the
parties interviewed, however. would

Invention In any way, except by saying
that ut originated In Boston"

with one of the most intelligent young men on
the jury, it was learned that the Jury reasoned
thus: Only Turpin swore he saw Lair
shoot Charlie Ward. They threw out hls
testimony: They could not be satisfied that
Lair did the shooting: On the subject of com
mon purpose they found Lair did not have the
same purpose, but went a. newspaper re-
porter n search of news, and had NO intention
to interfere. Hence, though the rest might be
guilty under the law as laid down by the Judge,
they concluded they could not convict Lair.

We Curious Needles.

Girls, we are afraid, don't like sew
ing quite as well as they ought to. It
is SO much easier to ask mother to do
WHIST is needed than TO do it themselves.
And many mothers; Unfortunately;
think it takes less time and trouble to
do the work than to teach their daugh-
ters to do it. But the girls may be IN
terested in reading about some curious
needles, if they are obliged touse them
The King of Russia recently visited a
needle mandatory in his kingdom, in
order to see what machinery, with hil-
man hand could produce. He was
shown q number of superfine needles,
thousands of which together, did not
weigh half an ounce, and marveled how
such minute objects could be pierced
with an eye. But he was to see that in
this respect something still finer and
more perfect could be created: The
borer, that is, the workman whose bust
ness it is to bore the eyes in these need
les. asked for d hair from the mon
arch's head. It was readily given and
with smile. He placed it at once un-
der the boring machine, made hole in
it with the greatest care, furnished it
with a thread, and then handed the
singular needle to the astonished king.
The second curious needle is in the
possession of Queen Victoria: It was
made at the celebrated needle manufac-
tory at Redditch, and represents the
column Of Trajan in miniature. This
well-known Roman Column is adorned
with numerous scenes in sculpture,
which immortalize Trajan's heroic &C.
tions in war. On this diminuitive
needle, scenes in the life of Queen Vic
toria are represented in relief, but SO
finely cut, and 80 small, that it requires
magnifying glass to see them. The
Victoria needle can, moreover, be
openedj it contains number of needles
of q smaller size, which are equally
adorned with scenes in relief:
