Where Women Are Barred.

While talking on this subject 1t may
be interesting 10 say that there Is a mine
near Ioadville into which women are
never admitted. If woman were per-
mitted 10 enter ros mine / believe every
last man on the premises would quit
work. The mine has had an accident
for every woman who has visited 1t.
Immediately after a woman has been adj
mitted some mishap, with damage 10
property or life, has followed. Hence

WITH SIN WiiEIG BEARS.
An Animal Tanner Has Weird Suspicious
Regarding One Of Chem.
{Livcrpool Courirr.)

a singular occurrence took place at
Gross trading menngorie, in Earle street,
on "Wednesday. group Of six white
bears from the Arctic regions that have
be2u starring the country and causing IL
sensation have just returned from two
weeks engagement at Hull. The daring
performer who had Travelled with them
had been ailing for some time, and IL
few days ago had TO give up his opgagC-
mcnt and.go back TO his native country.
Ino difficulty then Was to find man
who had the courage TO enter the large
den with these bloOdthirsfy creatures.
Richard ReitlenStuhl, o celebrated lion
and tiger tanner in Mr.. CrCS5' employ,
volunteered to undertake the task, end
With the late attendant, j. YrOtm0n,
made al ready. He entered the den,
and soon found himself surrounded by
tho six bears making for him in all di-
rectiOn8.
After the usual set to thcro is with the
animals, resulting in Il coatslccvo being
torn completely out of tho coat and Il
little blood split, Richard considered he
WIS the master of beasts, laughed and
put his hat on one side. Then came the
second part OF the performance, in which
one Of the brutCS mounts a stOUl and
fires pistol. The pistol was got ready
and the bear mounted the stool. While
Richard was talking to tho rest of the
keepers outside tho den the bear pulled
the cord, bang went the pistol and shot
Richard in the hand. The blood began
70 flow freely md it was soon discovered
thmt tho nail of one finger was blown en-
tircly. DR.. William Pugh was immodi-
ntely on tho spot and attended to the
injured man, who, although he must
have suffered intensely, made light OF
the injury. IIo cannot make up his
mind whether the shooting WIS wiful on

INTENSIVE GAl;DESISG.
The Trench System of Growing Vegetables
Explained.

At Lake City, Fla, DIR. j. +. Appcle
hasproduced some extremely fine gard
en- lands by trenchinG the border of q
lake; one principal object accomplished
being the elevation Of the surface above
overflow. OF the usual method and
Object the Times Democrat says:
In Europe what is known as the trcn-
ching system is practiccd for growing
vegetables, and is well adapcd on small
farms where space IL scarce, and the lar
gest amount must be secured in order to
get rs much as possible from the soil.
The Rural Home thus alludcs to the
method:
"A farmer in Yolo county, Cal, has
made great success in growing ycgc-
tables by following the system. He dlgs
trenches about two feet and then fills III
manure one foot, covering it over with
tn" top soil. His theory is that the
manure so warns the earth that you can
grow vegetables all winter and that it
draws moisture in the dry season"
We do not believe i'll this theory that
the benefit is due to tho warmth only,
through Tho warmth and moisture are
increasing by such mode of growing.
The plan is to dig trenches two icet
deep and two feet wide. The trenches
are then filled to within ninc inches of
| the tcp with manure. Over this tho top
soil Is thrown, and the plants placed
upon tho soil. If the suhsoil is thrown
back, il must be first mixed with the
manure and q small quantity of limo
sprinklcd over it occasionally during the
| process, so aS to hasten chemical action,
which not only disintcgratcs and renders
soluble the subsoil, but also causos
chemical action on tho subsoil by the
! manure. The manure being covered
with the top oil, or mixed with the sub.
soil, cannot snilcr loss by unison with
| lime.
The tronching system requires labor,
but if any one will give It a trial he viii
be convinced that it pays. The plants
will at no time suffer for want Of food
they will endure drought and cold bet
ter, and tno ground will grow two 0,
three crops, each crop hcing large and O
superior quality. We recommend it tc
all interested.

a Pct Alligator.

Two little daughters Of Mrs. George
Tablor, Of l4onRvIew, Tex, have cute
little pet alligator about four feet in

his little mistresses, recognizes his name
when called, and submits or enjoys an
Unlimited amount or petting, particularly
enjoyed the scratching Of his back, and,
surprisingly, seems to be sensitive to tho
scratching through his thick skin. A dog
eXcites his anger, and when ono intrudes
upon his 'gatorBhip he issues forth
musky oder that is disagreeabo to any
we'll regulated human ofactories. Jim's
winter diet, SO far as the family can
notice, consists of mud, and whenever
the we ther is mild the gator il permit
ted to wallow in it's mudhole, whence it
comes back putfod up until it looks like
an Alderman, or prairie pony after
drinking and ending Al two days thirst.
The little girls sometimes dress Jim up
as doll, anu tho reptile has quite sup
planted pct clucking raccooGs and squir-
rels in the affection of the girls, owing, it
is supposed, to its odd ugliness.
