Lonc Winter Predicted.

n. K Masten, formerly cashier OF
the Nevada Bank, of San Francisco,
and resident Of the coast for sixty
years, predicts the longest and cold
est winter the Pacific coast has ever
experienced. "All signs go to prove
that, he said: II have just come
from California, and it Is already be-
ginning to get cold. Low ranges of
mountains-in fact, parts of the foot
hills that have never been known to
have snow on them even in the dead
of winter-are already covered with
a white mantle, and have been for
several weeks. There is one, to me,
significant fact, and that is that the
Fall geese flight is almost over now,
and not in one year for the last fifty
has this flight begun until Oct. I5."

Nut Bearing Trees.

The idea advanced by prominent
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to plant any
tree except it produce some nut or
fruit valuable for the sustenance of
man or beasts eminently practical
and worthy of commentator. We
know of fruit grower who saves
his grapes and strawberries from the
depredations Of birds by planting
rows of ordinary black mulberry
contiguous to his strawberry patch
and figs around his vineyard.
1t is a good time now to look
about and select trees from which
you desire to propagate, and make a
memorandum of their location, 30
that when the time for gathering
comes they win not be forgotten.
Nuts may be preserved for spring
planting by laying them on an ele-
waited piece of ground, covering
lightly with earth, and securing them
from depredators by placing plank
on the top of bed. They should not
be bedded too deeply or in any place
where water will stand.

One Farmer's

Bird-like she's up at day-dawn's blush,
In summer heats or winter snow
Her veins with healthful blood afush,
Her breath balm, her cheek rose;
In eyes-the kindest eyes on earth
Are sparkles of a homely mirth;
For she has that which few possess
Health, strength, and perfect happiness.
But this farmers wife is wiser
than the majority of her rural sisters.
She has as many household cares
and responsibilities as they-duties
here, duties there, duties without
number. But while others droop
and anguish beneath their work, she
keeps up her wonderful health, vigor
and energy by the use of DR.. Pierces

A Town Raided by Bears.

Duryea, little mining town two
miles north of Pittston. Pa, is liter
ally overTan with wild bears, and for
the past two weeks the residents
have been kept in state of mortal
fear lest they should come in con-
tact with the savage animals una
wares. Yesterday afternoon again
the local hunters were thrown into
excitement when the report came
that three of the huge black brutes
had entered the outskirts of the
town and that the women and chill
dren were terror stricken. Armed
with rifles the men went to the scene
and there they found the animals,
who had the streets all to them
selves, the people having fed before
them. At the sight of the weapons
the bears ran, and the hunters fol-
lowing in close pursuit. All but
one, the smallest OF the three, escap-
ed. This was shot several times in
the back and was forced to succumb.
He was brought to Pittston, where
he was weighed and found to tip the
scales at 200 pounds. A party has
been organized and the surrounding
woods will be secured for the other
two animals.

A gigantic bone, part of the femur
or thigh bone of a mastodon, proba-
bly,, is on exhibition in Portland,
Ore, store. 1t was purchased from
a man who declined TO state exactly
where he found it, as he says there
are other bones around the place,
and he expects to find other parts of
the skeleton of the huge beast. The
bone, which is well preserved, is
nearly three feet long, and the head
which fitted into the socket in the
hip is forty-two inches in circumfer-
ence. Many who saw it, and who
had seen bones of other mastodons,
SAID that this was the largest they

Country Roads.

College professors, civil engineers
and magazine writer's are directing
public attention to the subject of
country highways, and the Wander
bilt University, Tennessee, has gone
so far as to provide for the free in
struction in road engineering of one
person from each county in that
State. The Ealtim ore Sun, which Is
agitating the question in Maryland,
points out that the power required
to draw wagon weighing with it's
load one ton on level macadamizcd
road of broken stone is IS pounds,
which is increased to 200 pounds on
a common dirt road. Professor Ely,
of Johns Hopkins University, esti-
mates that poor roads cost the farm
er on an average SIS per horse and
Professor jerks, Of Knox College,
Illinois, argues that with good per-
manent roads freight could often be
hauled ten miles on wagons cheaper
than it could be taken one mile on a
dirt road to railroad station, un-
loaded, put en- the cars, freight paid,
unloaded from the cars, and carried
to its destination. OF the social in
huence of good roads he says that "a
large part of!the mental inspiration
of the farmers depends on their abili-
ty to attend church, lectures, con-
certs and social gatherings at dis
lance; and really good roads, by en-
abling them to go so much more
easily, would doubtless raise the
whole intellectual tone of the farm
ing community, besides keeping with
in the healthful influence of the farm

How to XIII a Town.

Buy of peddlers as much and as
often as possible.
Never pay your papers cent for
advertisements. 10 M
Denounce your merchants because
they make profit on their goods.
Glory in the fall of a man who has
done much to build up the town.
Let your merchants send off for
their letter heads, bill heads, envel-
opes, &c.
Make your town out as the worst
place morally, and stab it every
chance you get.
If a stranger comes to town tell
him that everything is overdcne and
predict a general crash in the future.
Refuse to unite in every scheme
for the betterment of your town and
the material interests of your people.
Patronizo outside newspapers to
the exclusion Of your own and then
denounce them for not being as good
as the city papers.
When you have something to say
about your town, say it in such a
manner as to leave the impression
that you have no faith in it.
Never on any account speak a
good word for your merchants, min
listers, teachers, schools, newspapers
or anything else.
If you are a merchant, don't adj
vertise in your home paper, but buy
rubber stamp and use that-it may
save you a few dimes and make your
paper look as if it was published in q
one horse town, and give the place q
black eye.

pont,s for the Sick Room.

Don't light sick room at night
by means of a jet of gas burning low;
nothing impoverishes the air sooner.
Use sperm candles or tapers which.
burn in sperm oil.
Don't allow offensive matters to
remain; in cases of emergency where
these cannot at once be removed,
wiring a heavy cloth, for instance like
Turkish toweling, out of cold water,
use it as a cover, placing over this
ordinary paper. Such means pre-
vent the escape of odor or infection.
Don't forget to have few beans
of coffee handy, for this serves as a
deodorizer if burnt on Goals or pa
per. Bits of charcoal placed around
are useful in absorbing gases and
other impurities.
Don't have the temperature Of
sick room much over sixty degrees;
seventy degrees are allowable, but
not advisable.
Don't permit currents Of air to
blow upon the patient. An open
fireplace is an excellent means of
ventilation. The current may be
tested by burning piece of paper in
front.
Don't give the patient full glass
of water to drink from, unless he is
allowed all he desires. If he can
drain the glass he will be satisfied, SO
regulate the quantity before handing
it to him. Don't neglect during the
day to attend to necessaries for the
night, that the rest of the patient and
the family may not be disturbed.
| Don't ask a convalescent if he
would like this or that to eat or drink,
but prepare the delicacies and present
them in tempting way.
Don't throw coal upon the fire j;
place it in brown paper bags and lay
them upon the fire, thus avoiding the
noise which is shocking to the sick
and sensitive.
Don't jar the bed by leaning or
sitting upon 1t. This is unpleasant
to one i'll and nervous.
Don't let stale flowers remain in a
sick chamber.
Don't be unmindful of yourself if
you are in the responsible position of
nurse. To do faithful work you
must have proper food and stated
hours of rest.
Don't appear anxious, however
great your anxiety.
Don't forget that kindness and ten
derness are needful to successful
nursing. Human nature longs to be
soothed and comforted on all occa-
sions when it is out of tune .-Medi-

Atohison Philosophy.

No one but good man has right
TO be impulsive.
The hardest thing in the world
for a man to hold: his own.
People are bravest when they do
not have time to be cowardly.
Was there ever a man who did
not wonder why he was not better

To be great man brings your
mother into prominence, and casts
your father in the shade.
You sometimes doubt that wealth
causes refinement when you have
seen the children of the wealthy.
