Hunting Bears.

General E. F. Burton describes novel
method of catching bears practiced by the
native hunters of India. Four or five
sturdy men are armed, two with long
spears crossbarred ON the handles close
to the sharp two edged blades, and two
or three with ten foot bamboos, of which
the ends are smeared with bird lime.
Thus equipped, and leading several
powerful dogs, the hunters sally out an
hour or so before dawn and pass along
the base of the hills with the fresh morn
ing wind blowing up from the plains be-
low.
If the hunters have luck, it is not long
before the fierce dogs wind the bear, and
though dogs of this species hunt as silent
as death, their straining on the leash in
forms their masters that the shaggy game
is nigh.
The dogs are slipped and disappear in
the darkness, and soon the roaring and
growing show that they have found the
game, The hunters run up to the spot
where the bear is fighting with the dogs.
The men with lime poles poke the bear
in the ribs, and adroitly twist the ends in
its long hair, thus holding it fast on
either flank, and the spearmen complete
the tragedy by repeated spear thrusts. 1t
is said that a party of experienced men
with good dogs never fail to secure the
bear in this way.

SchOpenhauer. the great German pnl-
losopher, afforded one of the most re-
markable examples of self complacency
that has ever been known. His naive
eulogiums on his own productions are
almost beyond belief.
In writing to his publishers of his work,
he says: ats worth and Importance are
so great that do not venture to express
it, even toward you, because you could
not believe me-" and he proceeds to
quote review (which speaks of me
with the highest praise, as the creates:
philosopher of the age, which is really
saying much less than the good man
thinks"
Sir" he said to an unoffending
stranger who watched him across a table
d'hote. where he acted the part of a local
Lion habitually, Sir, you are evidently
astonished at my appetite. True, eat
three times as much as you, but then
have three times as much mind"
Auerbach, the German novelist, also
had great appreciation of his own pow
ers and work, and many stories are told
of the obtr,lsive way in which he dis
played his vanity. A German writer
says of him:
Every year Auerbach visits three or
four fashionable watering places, at each
of which the following episode occurs at
least thirty times. The novelist indulges
in small talk with the little children of
the natives. and invariably ends the con-
versation thus 'Knowest thou who has
been talking with thee? Berthold Auer-
bach. Tell that at home!'"

"ShaIl Women Woo:'

There are few problems of special in
terest to women, and therefore to all the
world (of which woman is the autocrat,
about which Kate Field has not some
thing to say that is worth hearing. She
is now trying to solve the problem,
"Shall women woo?" and here are a few
of her strokes According to our rather
curious system it is perfectly consistent
with human dignity to ask another for
honor, affection, devotion-all the most
precious things in life-but it is not per-
mitted to be indebted for material neces-
sities In nominal state of society man
is the bread winner, and can ask a woman
to share his loaf without loss of selfrt
spect. Suppose, however, the proposal
of marriage devolves upon the woman ::
She is placed in the awkward position of
a suppiant for material benefits. Why
this should beignominious is by no means
easy to explain. but who will venture to
dispute the facts?
Compare the mental constitution of the
two sexes Here it would seem for a
moment as if so delicate an Office might
wisely be given to women. A man
reaches decision by process of reason,
while woman jumps to it by the SIM
pier and director method of intuition.
No one pretends to urge that reason is
of any use at all in the direction of the
affections. But, on the other hand,
woman lacks to marked degree the
mental quality of single mindedness. AS
she reconsiders her answers, and so has
made proverbial "a woman's no, SO she
might take to reconsidering her suit,
which would lead to all sorts of embar-
rassments.

One Old Shoe.

We have been shown curious shoe,
owned by N. B. Bunker of Newburyport.
1t was found in an old house recently de-
molished, which was built in 100. The
upper is of calfskin and closed with wax
thread. The sole and heel are of one
piece and made of wood. The upper is
fastened to the sole with common iron
tacks, the edge of the sole being mortised
the thickness of the upper leather to
receive it. Across the toe the tacks are
brass. On the under edge of the sole
from the instep is a band of iron like a
miniature horseshoe, channeled to re-
ceive the nails. The heel may have been
similarly shod, but if so it has been worn
off and the wooden heel is well rounded
by wear. The shoe is fastened by an
iron clasp, which in its day was some
what ornamental. 1t is one of the
curiosities of footwear, and we would
like to know its history.

Nearer Right Than He Thought.

"Whom are you going to interview to-
night?" was asked of the facetious young
reporter as he emerged to the street the
other evening.
81 M on my way to interview dead
man., was the unfeeling reply, and the
young man proceeded to the house of a
we'll known lawyer, where he expected
to obtain the obituary of prominent
citizen. Entering the house in a solemn
manner he asked the lawyer in subdued
tone:
Can you give me an obituary of the
late Colonel Blank?"
why, my dear sir, was the reply,
"the Colonel isl say, Colonel" he
shouted, "here's man after your obitu-
ary."
well, WE'LL" said a military gentle
man, entering the room, she can't have
my obituary, no, sir; he'll have to wait
awhile, sir" And the reporter hurriedly
explained that horrible mistake must
have been made, not by him. oh, no, but
by some one "in the office.

DYSPEPSIA AND Badness.
Men with Feeble Stomachs Are Apt -
Lose Their Hair.

Lose Their Hair.
Dyspepsia is one of the most common
causes of badness. Nature is a great
economizer and when the nutrient elc-
ments furnished by the blood are INSULT
cient to properly support the whole body
she cuts off the supply to parts the least
vital, like the hair and nails, that the
heart, lungs, and other vital organs may
be better nourished. In cases of severe
fevers this economy is particularly no.
ticeable. A single hair is sort of his
tory of the physical condition of an indi-
vidual during the time it has been grow
ing, if one could read closely enough.
Take a hair from the beard or from the
head and scrutinize it and you will see
that it shows some attenuated places, in
dicating that at some period of its growth
the blood supply was deficient from over
work, anxiety, or under feeding.
The hair falls out when the strength of
its roots is insufficient to sustain its weight
any longer, and new hair will take its
place unless the root is diseased. For this
reason each person has certain definite
length of hair. When the hair begins to
split or fall out massage of the scalp is ex-
cellent. Place the tips of the fingers
firmly upon the scalp and then vibrate or
move the scalp while holding the pressure
steadily. This will stimulate the blood
vessels underneath and bring about better
nourishment of the hair. A brush of I'M
evenly tufted bristles is also excellent to
use upon the scalp, not the hair.-[Hall's

The skin grating physician of Reading,
DR.. Ege, who has successfully demon
strated by practical tests that it is possible
to turn a black man white, has made
known his real object in conducting these
experiments. The doctor does not think
that there are any colored people in the
world who would be foolish enough to
submit to the skin ENGRAVING torture in
order to be classed with the white folks,
but he does claim that thousands of bald
headed people are willing and anxious to
wear genuine head of hair. This can
be accomplished by the skin grating proc
ess. DIR. Ege stoutly asserts that bald
head can be covered with scalp, teeming
with healthy hair. He has several letters
in his possession from persons anxious to
undergo the operation.
The wonderful process opens up a
world of possibilities. The sensitive red
haired man could trade scalps with some
black headed person who is anxious to
get rid of a cowlick. Dame Fashion
might decree that polka dot was the
proper caper in hair and the new process
would be harbor for the ultra fashion
able. Again, by utilizing the hide of a
blue skye terrier the 4th of July orator
could make an impression upon his hear
ers by wildly tearing out handfuls of red,
white, and blue hair Philadelphia Rec

Diseased Perceptions.

An American physician, eminent as
specialist in nervous diseases, has said
that a certain kind of insanity is fire.
quently preceded by what may be called
a mania of the sense of smell.
The patient is tormented by certain
imaginary odors, generally of foul and
offensive character. One man detected
the scent of decaying bananas wherever
he went; another was haunted by the
odor of the smallpox ward of a hospital
in which he had been physician. A
rose, the salt sea air, the most dainty and
pure things all gave out to his diseased
nerves only this sickly, poisonous odor.
The victims of this peculiar hallucina-
ton can not be convinced that the Of
fensive odor does not exist.
They insist that it is there, but that the
perceptive faculties of other men and
women are too blunt to detect it.
There is another hallucination very
like to this, and much more common and
better known. 1t is that of certain well
meaning people who have sleuth hound
scent for detecting bad motives and pur-
poses in every human being whom they
meet.
If their friend is gay and talkative, he
is, in their opinion, shallow and frothy;
if he is reticent, he is grim and morose.
If he is cold in his manner, he is migrate
full, while if he processes friendship to
them, he is false and tricky.
In the least action they find some sim
lister motive; the most honorable man is,
to their keen sense, rogue; the best
woman is deceitful and not to be trusted.
Unfortunately, too, this diseased moral
sense is contagious. One suspicious, un-
charitable man or woman will taint a
whole school or family, or even church,
with evil doubts.
Lunatics of the first class are much to
Ne pitied; but surely it is better to go
through life haunted by the smell of de-
caying bananas than by the imaginary
presence of vice in the innocent people
around us.

Called Back.

In the summer of 1877, dusty, tired
looking party of horsemen, 40 in number,
were vending their way over the rolling
prairie land of western Nebraska. In the
lead and to the rear rode detachment of
Uncle Sans blue coated soldiers, conf
manded by bearded captain whose ex-
perience on the frontier had made his
name well known. In the midst, care
fully guarded, were a half dozen Chey-
enne Indians, and following them came
ten citizens whose garb betokened them
to be settlers of the plain, and whose
jaded horses showed that they had been
hard ridden.
The soldiers were jubilant over their
capture, the Indians were stolidly indif-
ferent, while the plainsmen wore sullen
countenances which brooded no good for
the red prisoners. The Indians were a
portion of raiding party that two days
before had attacked outlying settlements
and massacred several entire families
The citizens were party that had been
formed to follow the Indians and avenge
their outrage, and that morning they
had surrounded their foe and were bent
on their annihilation, when the troopers
had suddenly come upon the scene, and
to the disgust of the settlers captured
the whole party, and thus robbed them of
their revenge.
An hour later a camp was selected by
the side of clear stream which coursed
over white sandy bottom. One of the
citizens who had not dismounted rode up
to the group of Indians and addressed
wrinkled buck whose hard countenance
clearly bespoke his bloodthirsty nature.
Whats that on your shirt, Injun?" he
asked.
The Indian, seeing he was attracting
notice, proudly Strengthened himself.
Fastened to the redskins much befringed
and beaded deerskin shirt were three
scalps, all from the fair heads of little
children, and one of them yellow curl
of baby. Quick as thought the white
mans pistol came from the holster on his
saddle, and-crack! The redskin fell for
ward with bullet between his eyes.
In another moment the avenged settler
was speeding across the prairie and the
commanding officer had ordered a detail
of his men to capture him. As they
mounted and started in pursuit one of the
plainsmen said:
Captain, that hair tied to that ar In
jun belonged to his little uns' heads.
Sound the recall, said the captain to
his trumpeter.

POET AID PUBLISHER.
How Byron Announced His Approach
ing Marriage to John Murray.

ing Marriage to John Murray.
There are some occasional flashes of
humor in the dull history of the publish
ing house of John Murray, and one of
these occurs where the story is told of
Lord Byron's announcement of his forth
coming marriage. Murray had found
mine of profit in Byron and was con-
stantly urging the poet to renewed efforts
at composition. "Childe Harold" had
been tremendous success, and the other
works that followed also sold largely, so
that the publisher dreaded an Interrupt
ton to Byron's writing spells.
"Can you keep a secret?" asked Byron
of Murray one night when the latter
called. Certainly - positively - my
wife's out of town." replied the pub
Usher. "Then-I am going to be mar
ried," was the startling intelligence
Byron conveyed. THE ID! l shall
have no poem this winter, then ?" was
all Murray could say for the moment.
After Byron left England in 1915, he
corresponded pretty regularly with
Murray, Moore giving most of the let
ters of the poet in the well known Life, I"
while Murray's replies are now published
for the first time. There was consider
able difficulty about the issuing of Don
Juan" Murray being afraid that the
highly moral English public would have
none of it. Finally he did get it out, but
did not put his name on it, so when he
afterward wanted to protect his copy
right he found great difficulty in con-
vincing the court of chancery that he
was the original publisher and owner.
He tried hard to get Byron to make
some alterations, but the latter stead
fastly refused.

The principle of the generation Of heat
by the sudden compression of air is
utilized in an ingenious manner for firing
blasts in the Aubin collieries in the
Province of Aveyron, France.
The apparatus consists of a metal
cylinder, in which moves a well fitted
piston, the rod of which carries a cross
piece for handle. The end of the fuse
is passed through rubber ring into one
end of the cylinder. A quick and strong
thrust is then given to the piston, and
the compression of the air within the
cylinder generates sufficient heat to ig-
mite the fuse. 1t is said that after lit
tie practice the fuse is always ignited at
the first thrust. The sparks from the
burning of the first inch of the fuse are
thrown off inside the cylinder and the
danger of igniting the gases which
abound in the mines is thus obviated.

wouldn't Accent 1t.

= People who strive to elevate certain
classes in the social fabric, often find, to
their surprise, that these very persons
jealously guard the barriers of class dis
tinctions. The following illustration of
that fact is given by the author of -Four
Years in Rebel Capitals.
A Richmond lady had maid who-de-
voted and constant to her mistress-still
burned with curiosity for a sight of every
thing pertaining to Mars Linkum's
men," and especially for "de skule."
For swift in Iced had new comers been
to preach the gospel of Alphabet, and
brought in by every army ambulance, so
numerously did they spring up in the
captured capital. So, early one day,
Clarissa Sophia donned her very best
and with shining face, hied her, like any
thing but snail, to school.
Very brief was her absence; her return
reticent, but pouting and with unduly
tip-tilted nose.
1t soon came out that the teacher had
begun by impressing the children with
the fact that all present were born free
and equal" and that each of them was
quite as good as she was.
