A Rrayiiian Custom Which Would Find No

The typical American girl has often
been censnred for too great freedom of

however, she may point to her South
American sisters as examples of an OPP

Brazil was one day entertained by a
middle-aged couple. who led the con-
versation to marriage.
The lady asked if the guest were pos
sessed of wife. When he replied in
the negative. she enlarged upon the de-
lights of married life, saying. at the
same time, that she had five unmar-
ried daughters. This was broad hint,
which the visitor cou d scarcely ignore
altogether. He therefore expressed a
polite wish to make the acquaintance

EXCITING SPORT.
Description Of a Regulation Bear Hunt In
Lapland.

Iapiand.
A peasant generally goes out in
search of "a bears trail, and, having
found it, moves in ring some miles in
circumference, TO make sure of having
him within it. He then gradually con-
tNncts his circles, till he comes to the
retreat itself OF the animal. Weeks are
sometimes expended in this search; the
peasantry are then summoned to skall
by the Landshoroding. or Governor OF
the province, and put under the direc-
ton of the jogmoestare, or ranger Of
the district. who marshals them, and
commands their movements. The
peasants are generally formed into cir
Giles. and come armed with whatever
weapons they can procure. Though
opposed singly to a whole host, the
bear often spreads havoc among his
ASSISTANTS. Every ball that enters his
huge carcass but adds fire to his fury,
and woe to the individual whom his
wrath has singled out. 1t ceases to be
greatest self-possession can save him
from miserable death.
While at Hernosand I saw a repre-
sentation OF an event that took place at
skall in the neighborhood, in 1881,
and which shows that bear-hunting
must be quite equal to tiger-hunting in
excitement and peril. The bear on this
occasion was very large; nothing like
an American bear, with which an In
dian can grapple, but an enormous
beast able to carry off a pony under his
arm. His temper, probably never very
good, had been ruf1led by ten shots
lodged in different parts of his body;
all present intrenched themselves and
awaited some desperate effort on his
part, should not a lucky shot through
the head speedily give him his quietus.
At this moment man, holder than his
companions, advancing before them,
the bear rushed upon him, tore the gun
from his hands, and began to wound
him with his tremendous claws.
The wretched man was unable to con-
tend with his muscular antagonist; al
ready his wounds were letting out his
life, when a young Norrlander, unable
to look quietly on, rushed to his assist
ance. Besides the danger which he
himself incurred, and which, of course,
he had no feeling of, there was some
difficulty in shooting the bear without
striking the man. As he advanced, the
bear rose on his hind legs to meet his
new opponent; his victim dropped be-
fore him; the Norrlander seized the ia
vorable opportunity, raised his gun
with both arms high above his head, to
bring it in horizontal position on a
level with the bears, and, trusting to
feeling more than sight, discharged his
piece An immediate death-wound could
alone save either from their enemy.
The success which the brave man de-
served attended him, and the ball passed
through the brain of the bear, which
fell dead on the wounded MANN Y

WINTER DAIRYlNG.
Preparations Necessary to Change From
the Old to the New system.

Preparations Necessary to Change From
the Old to the New System.
The present is the time to begin
preparations for making butter in
winter. The first requisite is that the
cows shall come in during the months
of September and October, and calcu-
lations must be made accordingly.
The advantages Of changing from the
old system of summer dairying to win
ter operations are so great that many
of the most intelligent and progress
sive dairy farmers have adopted the
latter method. They thus escape the
daily and exacting labor of the dairy
during the busy summer months, hen
the general operations of the farm de-
mand the most attention. The cows
go dry during the sultry days of mid
summer, when the pastures are the
most parched and scanty. There is no
butter to be kept over through the
hot season, when keeping it in good
order is the most difficult and prices
are the lowest. These and other ad-
vantages are greatly in favor of win

ments in deep setting, preserving fod-
der in silos, centrifugal separating.
etc. With this, as with other impor-
tant changes, it is the first step which
costs.
The first step, as indicated above, lie
to hold the cows back so they will
come in during September of next
year. In the vicinity of butter fac
tory it is desirable that the majority
OF the patrons shall agree to make the
change, that the factory may be kept
running through the winter. Those
who already have cows which will
come in next fall, or can buy them,
must see that good shelter is provided,
with plenty o. ensilage, means for
taking the chill from the drinking
water, etc. 1t is idle to object to this
system as unnatural" for the cows.
The dairy COW, as we have her to-day,
is an artificial product any how, which
has been brought to her present state
of development by long course Of
breeding and care. 1t is only step
forward in the same direction to
change her season of greatest milk
flow from summer to winter.-Anieyl-

He Works the TyDo- Wr'ter and Keeps an
Intricate sct OF Books.
most ein,.l.tble blind man has
been brought 10 public notice by the
proposed founding of an institution
Tor the instruction OF the sightless
people in this ely. His name is Alden
+. Hayes, and he lives at Sewickley,
one OF the fashionable suburbs OF
Pittsburgh. Iiis father was the bril-
liant George Alexander Hayes, who
was killed'a at the Eattle of the Wilder
ness, and for whose widow pension
bill OF the sane size as Mrs. General
John A. Logan's is now pending in
Congress. Their blind son Alden is
now about thirty-fve years of age. and
ne carries on an extensive business as
coal merchant He attends to all the
details himself without particle of
clerical assistance. He is totally blind,
yet he writes all his own orders by
the typewriter for coal from the mine
operators, takes the car number when
the coal arrives, weighs the coal by
the wagon-load for customers, gives
the drivers properly filled out tickets
or makes out the receipts, receives
money, counts it and makes change,
keeps set OF books, walks to and
from his home without company. and in
fact goes anywhere in Sewickley by
| himself and without cane.
He is an accomplished musician. For
eighteen years past he has been or
ganist in the Leetsdale Presbyterian
| Church and he still takes every Fri
day afternoon away from his business
to rehearse the music for this church on
Sabbath He plays the piano with even
| more versatility than the organ, and
| has handled the clarionet and other
instruments for the Sewickley brass
band frequently. Mr.. Hayes musical
methods arr entirely different from
those OF the celebrated Blind Tom. -
The latter learns by air. Mr.. Hayes
does not, although he has fine ear
for music. He was natural-born
musician. His technique was pro-
bounced by critics faultless. For ten
years he taught music, and only gave
| up the profession when commercial
business pressed him too hard. He
plays selections from all the masters
Mozart, Beethoven and Mendels-
sohn. He could, it is said, after ordi-
nary rehearsal, sit down at the grand
organ of any of the city churches and
without hesitation perform as well as
the regular organist. In learning or
rehearsing selections, the music, time
and expression must be read to him
by an assistant. He listens to a line
at time, then plays it off. 1t seldom
need be read to him second time.
! The blind coal dealer does all his
own correspondence, using the type
writer. He is so expert with this ma
chine that few professional type
writer operatives can pass him in
speed. His lingering is different from
that of most writer's. 1t is by the sys-
tematic use of eight fingers that he
knows the exact position of every let
ter's key. Writers who see use only
two, four or six fingers. He fits his
paper, postal cards, envelopes, etc, to
the machine perfectly, the lining being

THE PAPER TRADE.
Recent Discoveries Which Bid Fair

Recent Discoveries Which Bid Fair to
Revolutionize 1t.
'We now make about every thing
from Il shirt to a car wheel out of paper
but we are also making paper out OF
nearly every thing said Yankee
manufacturer.
1.-The most recent invention in our
trade-and it is one which bids fair to
revolutionize it altogether-is the pro-
cess of making paper out of cotton. II
was recently discovered by gentleman
from Georgia. who has thus opened up
another great industry to the South, TO,
the hulls Of the cotton seed. hitherto
considered utterly worthless-a mere
waste. in faet-are now found to be the
most valuable for the making of paper
pulp.
'.The diseoverer, after much study,
came TO the conclusion that the hulls
could be made into paper pulp An
analysis of the hull showed that it is
composed of nine layers, the two upper
ones being black and coarse. while the
remaining seven are of very fine fibre,
and after being subjected to certain
chemical process can be blanched a
fleecy white. About five hundred
pounds of these hulls were sent to a
paper mill for experiment. and the re-
suit was the product of the finest textile
pulp that the chemist had ever seen,
while the paper woven from the pulp
makes a much better and smoother
article than ordinary news print. as
we'll as a good quality of writing pa
per-"
Can paper be made cheaper from
this pulp than by the old processP"
The time and cost Of reducing the
hulls to pulp is only so per cent. of
what the present process requires, thus
the price of paper will be reduced about
one-half, while the quality will be much
better. Perhaps | can Illustrate the
exact difference in this way: To re-
duce poplar wood to pulp it requires ~
deg. of baume liquid, with 40 pounds
of steam pressure, and the time con-
sumed is sixteen hours but with the cot
tonseed hulls the time is only eight
hours, with one-half the liquid and
steam pressure.
''In addition, the cotton stalks can be
used as well for the manufacture OF
pulp and by the process stated above
can be made to produce good class of
paper. ~. Y. Telegram.
