A trained cinnamon bear escaped from
its owner into the Isington Woods, near
Dedham, Mass, some time ago, and has
caused much CONSERVATION among the
scattered inhabitants of that region. AS
rule dogs are kept chained to kennels
in the farm yards in tie outlying districts
of Dedham, and "Bruin" has feasted on
several favorite CANNES. Last Tuesday
evening a woman was aroused from heI
sleep by the barking of her dog and went
into the yard, where she saw an animal
that she supposed was calf. When she
attempted to drive the calf away, how.
ever, an omnibus growl revealed a case
of mistaken identity that sent her back
back to the house with all the speed at
her command. Then the painful yelping
of the dog told too plainly of his fate,
and his dead body was found when the
bear had departed.

Flowers as an Article of Food.

The new Key Bulletin contains a mem.
orandum by Mr.. Duthie, botanical di
rector tor Northern India, on the use Of
flowers of the Calligonum for food in
Northwestern India. The use of flowers
such as those of the lily in China as a
cOndiment is not uncommon, but it is
quite unusual to find them used as food
In the present case they are used By the
poorer classes only, and are either mixed
with flour or are eaten separately with
salt and condiments, to which little
ghee is added by those who are able to
afford it. The flowers are swept up from
the ground, and are kept for night in q
closed earthenware vessel, SO as to fade
They may be kept for a long time. Us
ually they are eaten as vegetable, but
sometimes they are kneaded with thir
alta and baked in cakes. An analysis OF
the flowers shows that their chief pucu
liarity from a dietetic point of view i.
their richness in heterogeneous compounds
and consequently their Importance as al
addition to foods which are poor in nj
trogen.

native of the south of Europe, an ever

ers quite small, and white. There lis an
other variety, called fragans, or sweet
scented olive, Introduced from Chilli in
1771. The flowers are also very small,
but very fragrant, smelling not unlike
the highest perfumed green tea. In all
ages the olive has been held in peculiar
estimation, and as bounteous gift of
heaven. 1t is considered emblematic of
peace and plenty. Even Virgil and Pliny,
mentioned many varieties, showing it
one of the cultivated plants of their time,
the difference being noted mostly in the
size an color of the fruit.

Mr.. Turner Becomes Famous.

English spelling is remarkable for its
indefinite variety. AS long as ''tizc" is
spelled "phthisic" the voice of the spell
ing reformer should be heard in the land.
Mr.. Turner, in the following incident
in view of our present method of spell
ing, was entirely consistent:
Jones met his friend Turner on the
train. They are both going to James
vile, and stop at the same hotel. Turner
registered his name thusly:
''E. K. autobiography"
Jones, noticing it, exclaims:
Here! What are you assuming such a
foreign, outlandish name for? Are you
in any troubled"
''Not bit of it," replies Turner, sand
am 1ot assuming any foreign name"
"What kind Of name is that?" de-
mGnded Jones.
"That is my identical old name," per
sists Turner; land it is Eng lish, too-pro-
nounced plainly "Turner."
II can't see how you get Turner out
of those thirteen letters, and, besides,
what is our object in spelling that way?"
asks Jones.
"Well, you see, nobody ever noticed my
name on the register when | wrote it
Turner" explains the latter, "but since 1
commenced writing it 'Phthologny rrh' L
put them all TO guessing. They wonde-
what nation am from; what my name
is. 1 can now hear people talking about
me all around. It is as L said before-it
is English spelling. Phth,' there is the
sound of st. in 'phthisic;' OLE there is
the sound of 'colonel;' 'gn,' there is the
m in 'gnat;' 'yrrh' is the sound of err in
'myrrh.' Now, if that don't spell Turn
err what does it speII?"

JUDGE LYNCH TO PRESIDE
Should the Woman's Assailant at La
Crosse be Found.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Administer
Summary Justice.
An Obstinate Guardian Brought Into
Court at BelOit.

LA CROSSE, Wis, May 13.-The Gate
way City was the scene last night of which
was intended to be duplicate of the
Mitchell lynching which took place here
a few years ago. On Saturday a farm
laborer named Paul Koss made a Grim
inal assault upon the wife of Arthur
Trip, prominent young farmer of the
thown of Campbell. She was beat into
ipsensibility by the brute, who then &C
complished his design, and the victim
lies Dow in dangerous condition. The
excitement has been great over the affair
and the feeling eliminated last night
about II, when band of about 100 men
rode into the city and proceeded to the
jail when the prisoner was demanded.
Such an event had been anticipated by
the officers, however, and the Would-be
Iynchers were informed that the prisoner
had been removed from the city. The
mob, however, searched every cell in the
jail before satisfied of the truth of the
statement, after which they dispersed.
The commOtion brought half the city to
the streets, aud i5 was easy to see that the
citizens generally sympathized with the
avengers. 1t is not known where the
prisoner is secreted, but vigilant eyes are
on the watch, and if he is found, he will
doubtless grace "hangman's tree" In the
courthouse park

Don't Shift About.

A great many farmers, like a great
many other people, are too prone to be
come dissatisfied with their immediate
surroundings and long for change to
other scenes. They grow to feel that
their let and conditions are little harder
tnan those of any one else, and soon
they become restless under what they
consider cruel restraint, and begin to
cast about to find an easier place-that
elusive EIysian field that is always in the
distance. That which we have not, a.
Rayt appears much better and much
more desirable than that which we have,
and we are too fond of neglecting he
advantages of the present in over-cager-
ness to grasp those which the future
promises. So, too, are prone to turn
our backs on the rede emiDg features of
our situation, and long for the imagined
advantages offered by some other place or
some other life.
Take the world over, and it is pretty
much the same. tits true that one sec
ton may possess advantages that another
does not, but what is gained in that re-
spect is counter balanced IN some other.
OF one thing l am positive, and that is,
That the man who fits about in search of
an easy place to live, or an easy place 10
get rich, will, nine times out of ten, live
hard life, and suffer inestimably from
worry and disa ppointmeut. There are
Instances, of course, where men do well
to shift about, bat they are merely the re-
suit of accident, and are too rare % form
rule.
If the farmer has home, no matter
how small or how poor, it is my opinion
! 70
his energies TO the accum ulation of more
acres and the i'm prove ment of what ne
has, rather than to start out on an IN
certain hunt for something better. The
secret of success lies, not in brilliant
moves and changes, but rather in holding
fast to what one has, and the making the
most Of it. If you happen to be thrown
into circumstances not TO your liking,
remember that in nine cases out of ten
you would ipjore rather than better your
condition by change. Bear in mind
that, 90 where yon may, you are certain
to find something uncongenial to

THINGS THAT ARE TOLD.

Peach stones at Sc ton are being uti-
lie d in California IN the vicinity of can
neries for fuel, These are said to pro-
duce an intense heat.
Stouell's Evergreen and Henderson,
sugar corn are very superior for extreme
ly late varieties.
Ruby king is the largest pepper.
The creeping portulaces are we'll
adapted for sunny corners about the
garden.
Apples for export ought to be packed
much tighter than for domestic markets..
Barpyard manure, well rotted, is the
preferred sort for strawberries by the
majority of growers.
Shaded greenhouses are necessary in
spring and summer, and for this pur-
pose a mixture of glue and whiting or of
white lead and naptha is good; lime in
lures the glass and putty.
In reply to an inquiry how large trees
could be transplante6 safely, Mr.. Tenn
pie said that it depends on how carefully
they are handled, aud this is true of
plants of aoy size. Practically it is not
often Profitable to plant trees over two
inches in diameter, and generally not
over one inch. He once planted thirty
or forty trees from, ten TO fifteen inches
in diameter, and they did well. They
were from peaty soil and were like pot
plants.

home is spacious brick structure on
University hill, where dependent child
red are cared for. The institution is

is the president. The management is di-
vided among committees on home work
and visiting, On purchasing supplies, on
on education and on home rale and
dietary. Children may be ad-
mitted to the nome by parents
or guardians, with papers relinquishipg
all claims to them so that they may be Civ
en- for adoption whenever deemed advsi
BILE, but the main purpose is to care for lit
tie waits whose parents are dead or who
have been abandoned by their natural
protectors. The home will accommodate
thirty children, and ten have already
been received there. The children ars
educated, well fed and well clothed, and,
as fast as homes can be found, for them
or they can be provided for employment
in which they can learn useful occupa-
tions, they will be relinguished by the
board of managers. The fund for the
establishment of the home was raised by
voluntary subscriptions.

Because She Refused ito Give an Account of
Her Stewardship.
BELOIT, Wis, May 13.-An interesting
case was before the court today. In 1876
Daniel Riorden, of this city, became
bondsman for Mrs. Mary Ann Quinn, of
this city, who had been appointed guar
dian of her daughter, and given the Gus
tody of 1929 of the child's money.
She cared well for the girl, and
was recently called upon to
render an account of the fund to the
county Judge, and excepting for 81, she
declined to make any statement. MIR.
Riordan was then sued as bopdsmaR for
the deficiency, and although he attem pied
to compromise the matter by the
payment of certain sums of money,
his propositions would not be accepted.
Mr.. Riordan then caused the arrest of
Mrs. Quinn for the ENLIGHTENMENT of the
fund. The amount being SO small, and
Mrs. Quinn having every opportunity to
make sat1factorv report of the funds in
her keeping, makes the case one of
peculiar interest.
