Specimen Cases.

S. III. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis.

rheumatism, his stomach was disor-
dered, his liver was affected to an
alarming degree, appetite fell away,
and he was terribly reduced in flesh
and strength. Three bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters cured him.

eight years standing. Used three
bottles of Electric Bitters and seven
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and HE leg Il

Russian Traps for Bears.

The backwoodsmen have some odd
ways of hunting bears. One plan is
to tie strong cham ten feet on so
long to heavy billet of wood, and at
the other end to make a running
moose, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
This loop is arranged like simple
rabbit snare, in a narrow passage, the
billet being thrown ON one side.
When the bear runs his neck into the
moose he drags after him the wooden
weight, which cntangles him in the
bushes, and finally brings him to a
fall stop. The bear then follows up
the billet, bites it savagely, hurls it
down and continues his way. Pulled
up short second time and then a
third, he goes through the same an
tics, until on reflection he decides to
carry off the troublesome billet in his
arms, and find precipice over which
to throw it, in doing which he is
dragged over by its weight. Still
another snare consists in suspending a
great rock or log against door,
which closes an opening in tree
where honey is stored. When the
bear comes to eat the honey he pushes
away with his paw the obstacle
which hinders him, but this move
ment only results in swinging aside
the rock, which, coming back, strikes
him on the head. The bear, becoming
angry, makes vigorous lunge at the
weight, and, of course, receives still
more violent blow. 1t then comes to
a grand struggle between the bear
and the liteless object, in which the
latter comes out best.

A New Composition.

At the "World's Fair" at Chicago
it has been decided that the various
buildings shall be decorated with a
composition known as "Staff." This
is mixture Of plaster of Paris,
alumina, dextrine, and glycerine, is of
French origin, and was first used at
the Paris Exhibition of 1878. The
various constituents are mixed, like
ordinary plaster, with cold water and
allowed to harden in molds. The
composition is quite waterproof, and
to correct any tendency to brittleness
the castings are backed by some
textile material such as course can
vas. The color of the material is
dirty white, but it can of course be
tinted to any hue that may be re-
quired.

characteristics OF the Antar tic
Seas.

The antarctic seas are well known
to whalers for their sharp gales of
northwest winds, and the difficulty of
navigating these ice-bearing seas is
intensified by the dense fogs which so
frequently obscure surrounding dan
gers and the almost constant precip-
itation of rain and snow also tends to
increase the miserable surroundings
of those Inflated mortals whose lot
marks them out to battle with the
elements so far from comfort and
civilization. To accentuate by con-
trast the extreme GOODNESS and loneli-
ness of these dreary wastes, nature
has bestowed on it brilliant burning
mountain over $4,000 feet in height,
which has been named Mt. Erebus.
1t is situated in rs degrees south lati-
tude, near the supposed location of
the southern location of the southern
magnetic pole. A peculiarly of the
Antarctic zone is the fact that the
vegetable kingdom has no representa-
tive, not even linchen or piece OF
seaweed growing on the rocks, and nc
land animals have been observed.
The Antarctic regions are remarkable
for the uniformity of their low tenn.

Brass was a very indefinite term
among the ancients. Where it is
spoken Of in the Scriptures it is sell
dom to be understood to signify the
alloy of copper and zinc now called by
that name. The brass tempered for
edged tools or weapons Of war in
early times was usually a compound
of copper and tin, now known as
bronze. An analysis made of Gre
clan helmet found it to be mixed
with one-tifth part of tin. Many
writers believe that the ancient brass
was native alloy procured directly
in the mixture used from mines long
since exhausted. Lead was known to
the ancients, but was regarded as of
rlittle value. 1t was the custom
among the early Hebrews to engrave
records of Importance upon tablets o.
lead with an iron stylus. The PhGni-
clans used it for anchors. Mercury
was familiar to the contemporaries of
Aristotle. Anthony was employed
by the old Romans for staining black
the hair, eyebrows, eyelaShes and the
edges of eyelids.

shakspeare's Table.

Bacon and salt mutton and fish al
ways on hand in every house, salt
fish, the general diet of the poorer
classes. Barrcled herrings from Var
mouth, (the Yarmouth "bloater,"),
were luxury. The sailing tub"
was as much part of household
outfit as a washtub.
Fresh meats were high-pliced al
ways. Beef and mutton were always
lean in winter and fat in summer, the
art of stall feeding only being invented
15O years or SO later. Fresh fish was
highly priced, but the streams were
all owned by the rich, and 80, to fish,
as to poach, was crime heavily pun
ished. All the present wild and do
nestle fowl are Shakspearean.
The price of bread and beer was
regulated by law. Wheat bread was
the luxury, rye and barley bread the
common diet. "Horse-bread" was
the cheaper kind, so called because il
was brought to the retailers in sacks
on the backs of horses. "Manchet'
was the wheaton loaf weighing five
ounces. "Mesline was the penny loaf
ga quarternloaf' was the usual form
Cakes, caraway seed in rye or barley
and oaten cakes of oatmeal were al.
ways on the table.
Everything, almost, was made into
pies or pasties. A shot venisor
pasty" was delicacy, but not all un.
common one. "Pippins," ga dish o.
pippins," or "pippins and cheese" was
the ordinary dessert for the better
class of tables. Arichokes, marrow
(beef OF mutton), were also made into
pies. The weak point in the Shak
spearean menu was vegetables. D.
these there was little variety. Cab
bage and onions were imported from
Holland. From Flanders lettuce wa
imported, and was eaten as a cours,
au naturel, just as at present, as a
supper. Rhubarb, called "patience
came from China in small quantities
and was only eaten at rich men
tables. Watercresses were Away
abundant, and were supposed to re
store bloom to the complexion O
women. Later, carrots were brough
from Flanders. Eschalots (smal
leeks or onions), were used to rul
over the plate before putting the bee
or mutton upon it. The commone
people had only turnip leaves TO
greens and salads. They roasted tn
turnip itself in wood-ashes and ate i
as course or side-dish.
The Elizabethean meals were din
mel. and supper. Breakfast was late
invention. Dinner at about noon
supper at about shutdown. A knit
and napkin were all the outfit. Ii
1911 forks were introduced from
Italy, but they were kept to be looked
at as curiosities. Capers (not mas
turtiums, but the bean of low busl
that grew in dead walls and rocl
fissures), were boiled and eaten as
salad with oil and vinegar.-[Tb

CASHIER nuoK KILLED.
Mangied By Railroad Train while Re
turning 90 His Home.


4 William L. Buck was struck bv a fast
express train on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad near Holmes station last night
and Instantly killed Nothing was
known OF the accident until 4 o'clock this
morning. when trainmen discovered the
mangled remains lying only few feet
from the tracks.
1t was at first supposed, and the rumor
was circulated, that Mr.. buck had been
held up" by highwaymsn, who shot him
to death in trying TO make him give nm
bank drafts and cash which he was
supposed to have with him &C the time.
Ihis report caused great excitement, and
oncers OF the Law had begun q search,

hr. Buck had alighted from train at
Holmes station, and started to walk to
MS home near Collingdale This was
just at twilight. The train which
passes Darby at o'clock, and a
freight train going in the opposite
direction, passed each other Just above
Holmes station, and it Is supposed that
Mr.. Buck attempted to get out of the
way Of the train, only to lose his life on
the other track.
As soon as the body was found this
morning II was taken to Darby and
thence removed to the dead man a late
home. The coroner Of Delaware county
arrived at the house shortly before
noon and decided TO hold an inquest
