SUPERSTITION OF THE Amos.
Homage Paid by the Singular Race to
the Bear-Fattening the Cub.

Among the Singular superstitions
that prevail among the Amos is one
that gives sacred character to the
bear. In the mountains of YeZo are
huge bears like the savage grizzlies of
the Rockies. Near the dwellings of
community of Amos will be found
bear cage made of logs and also a sa-
cred hedge constructed of poles and
brush. In the springtime they set out
to hunt the bear. They have no
weapons that would be of much avail
in close quarters with one of these
huge beasts, but they accomplish the
death of the animal by means of poi
soned arrows, says the Washington
Star. The heads of the arrows are
dipped in the poison they obtain from
aconite root. When one of the arrows
acts so quickly that he will fall in
mortal agony after running few rods.
Sometimes bears are killed by traps or
stretched across the path OF the ami
NAL SO that when he brushes against
the string the arrow is discharged.
The main purpose of the first spring
bear hunt is to secure live cub. With

triumph The young bear is placed in
the cage and sucked by one of the old
women of the community. AS the
weeks pass by he is fed plentifully and
grows so large and fat that the cage
will hardly hold him. Then, in the
fall, the great ceremony of the year
occurs. The BEARS hind legs are Sc
cured and he is set free from the cage.
He is pelted, tormented with blunt ar
rows and subjected to all manner of
torture. Finally he is taken to a place
where great beam is placed upon
him and his tormentors climb upon
the beam and play see-saw on him until
they have crushed the life out of him:
On the day following the crushing of
the bear there is great feast, in which
bear meat forms the principal part of
the menu, and sake is drunk in snch
liberal quantities that the whole COM
munity would be likely to be locked
up in the station house for being drunk
and disorderly, if they had such adj
juncts of civilization as station houses.
Finally the skull Of the bear is placed
on one of the poles or spikes of the
hedge, where it receives homage. In
course of years the sacred hedge be-
comes ornameuted with collection of

There are four services at all state
dinners at the white house. The dishes,
in their order, are served on silver

toward the right and the second waiter
toward the left. The same course is
observed on the opposite side of the

When the heart is overburdened-
Full of sorrow, lost in woe;
When the world is draped in cypress.
And the dirge:winds through it blow
Then the tears are near the f1oOwing.
When the soul with Joy is freighted,
Full of loves delightful glow,
When the world is clad in color.
And the song-bellS thrilling 60
Then the tears are near to flowing.
SO it seems that bounding gladness
Sister is to sad-eyed Woe;
For. when either, thrilling, thrObbing,
Through the being tloodeth-lo,
Then the tears are near to flowing.
One is just outside the portals,
Sprinkling life with grief-thawed snow
One is just inside to rose plot,
Spent with pleasures pearly flow
And we say the tears are flowing.

TIE CREMATonY IN A FIX.
Tho Furnace Full OF Garbage and no Wa,
to Eurn 1.-THE Committee on Health |,

Tho Furnace Full OF Garbage and no Way
to Harm 1.-THE Conilnittco on Health In
aQuandnry.
The furnace at the crematory is piled
to the top with garbage, in tho midst Of
which is dead horse On tho outside
there's garbage in barrels and garbage
in piles, and no fro 10 heat tho furnace.
On Monday, the same day 1t was shut
of from the water works, as published
exclusively in the 1STELLlGgScER, the
Natural Gas Company OF West Virginia
turned off tho gas in tho crcmatory
without notifying Superintendent
Dunn OF their intention. Tho superin-
tendcnt got his furnace full OF stuff,
and when he attempted to turn OIL tho
gas, found that it was shut of. Ho tiled
TO notify tho Council committee on
health, but the chairman being absent,
the committee did not meet until last
night.
AL sorts oil schemes were suggested,
10 enable tho furnace to DO worked. II
was suggested that arrangements DO
made with tho Wheeling Company, TO
furnish gas, but il was stated that both
companies are practically one and the
same, and that on former occasion,
when the Wheeling Company furnish
cd gas, while the other company was
repairing break in its line, tho gas
furnished was delivered through tho
pipes OF tho West Virginia Company,
the Wheeling Company having no limo
OF pipe to the crcmatory.
Tho members OF tho committee were
justly indignant at the action OF the
company in turning of the gas SO sud
denly and without warning. City
Solicitor Riley stated that the city
could sue for damages. As there is no
forfeit in case the company refuses to
continue to furnish gas to city institu-
tons, there is no ether way open. The
ordinance which grants the company
tho exclusive privileges OF the streets
contains n proviso. that in case the
company fails to abide by its agreement
the right to the streets is no longer eX-
elusive; as no other company wants the
piiNhcbS tuc pIoN4so 10 VI Ho usC.
4 resolution was passed, that sub
committee OF three confer with the gas
company and endeavor to have the gas
turned on again to enable the crema-
tory to continue work until the furnace
can BIO changed for coal, il such achangc
is found necessary. The subcommittee
will meet i'll the morning.
Among the suggestions was one, that
the gas from the city gas works be used
temporarily in the crematory furnace.
Aside from the question whether the
illuminating gas would be OF sufficient
pressure to furnish the intense heat re.
quired, Council would have first to be
consulted. All this would cause delay,
AID delay cannot now DO thought Of, as
the garbage burning must continue.
