Held Bruin by a Hind Leg.

Brockwayville, Pennsylvania, let
ter in the Pittsburg Times is as fol-
lows:
One of the most successful hunters
in East Jefferson is Darius Hetrick,
who lives at "Blowtown," settle
ment at the headwaters of the North
Fork, in Polk township, consisting
of a store, board mill and hall a
dozen houses.
Hetrick is a typical specimen OF a
jefferson county pioneer. lie is good
six feet high, and sinewy as a black
smith. He has no spare flesh. Al
though he has heard it thunder al
most sixty years, he is still young
enough to laugh at a days tramp
over the mountains, among which he
lives. The old chap is not content to
hunt for bears and kill them out
right. That sort Of sport is too
tame for him. He wants to cage
everything, and he has numbered
among his catches of live animals
nearly everything to be found on the
Allegheny mountains.
Hetrick is d hunter from boyhood.
He killed his first deer when IL years
old. An old partner who hunts with
him is Tom Carnahan. On one occa-
sion. two years ago, bear had been
quite plenty around his settlement
and Mr.. Hetrick had followed one
about the hills near his house short
distance, and concluded it ought to
boil in his pot. AS he says himself:
81 got up in the morning AND told my
wife to make me some cakes to carry
with me, for l had decided the bear
should die that day"
He hunted up his companion, Car
nahan, and they set forth. The track
was fresh in the snow and was easily
followed. The bear was soon over
taken. 1t was snugly doing under
a big log. Hetrick saw it and fired
his gun at it. The bullet walked it up,
and it was in no friendly mood. Their
dog ran up to give it battle, but the
bear was not in humor to be wor-
ried by dogs, so it rolled over On It's
back, and, with four feet in the air,
it sent the dog out in the snow drifts
the first round. Then it crawled back
under the log, and Hetrick, afraid
his bear was about to escape him.
having but an old single-barreled
rife, dropped his gun and rushed for
his meat. He grabbed the retreating
bear by the hind leg and pulled. He
did not have to pull long, for the
bear was willing to turn around tc
see who wanted him.
J, The bear was no sooner out ron
} under the log than Hetrick was II

wanted somebody to help him let &C

and as Re thought Hetrick was get

up his gun and fred at bruin. In mi

A curious experiments consists in
taking a water flask or other wide
mouthed bottle and placing small
cork in the neck while holding 1t in q
horizontal position. 1t will seem an
easy matter to blow the cork into the
bottle. but upon trial it will be found
almost impossible to do so. The hard
or one blows the more forcibly is the
cork elected out CT the bottle. The
explanation Is that the bottle is
already full of air. so that no more can
be blown into it; and the only effect
produced by blowing is to compress
the air already inside. When the
pressure is removed. the air. being
elastic, expands again quickly. and, in
80 doing. forces the cork out of the
neck. apparently in reverse direction
to the current from the lungs OF the
expsrimenter. The neck of the bottle
must be perfectly dry. or the cork will
adhere to it. and interfere with the
success of the experiment.

FIRING is only done properly when
the fuel is consumed in the best
possible way. that is. when no moro is
burned than is necessary to produce
the amount Of steam required and to
keep the pressure uniform. To obtain
this end, complete combustion must be
obtained in the furnace. and this is
going on when the fuel is burning with
3 bright flame evenly all over the
CRATE. Blue flames. dark spots and
smoke are evidences of incomplete
combustion, due to lack of air.

Recreation for Business Women.

A saashore cottage Is situated at Ocean
Beach, y. j., and forms a most delightful
summer resort for business women and others
who are in need Of rest and recreation, with

with a number of piazzas and cozy little win
dow balconies, and has ample facilities for
the enjoyment of surf bathing upon its own
beach. Everything is provided for the com
fort and healthful enjoyment of the visitors,

The main purpose OF learning to swim. rs
of gaining other knowledge, is that it in
Creases confidence. Fear is the most over
towering emotion that we know. The man
who can swim, other things being equal, has
O great deal more confidence, which means a
great deal less fear, than he who cannot
swim If but for the reason that he gains con-
fdence for himself in emergencies by learning
70 swim il would be wise for q man to learn.
Women make strong and graceful swimmers,
and there Is no argument for a mans learn
ing to swim which does not apply equally to
q woman. In fact, women foat easier than
men. and therefore should learn to swim
easier, for beginner must have confidence
in him or herself and the sustaining power OF
the water before he or she can float To foat
means TO swim, a little practice and courage
being all that Is necessary. Every one should
learn as early in life possible TO manage
the body liz the water, TO float, TO tread water
