that some splendid specimens are
being prepared by the lapidary. 1t

THE hog, BY BILL NYE.
HE WRITES OF THE VERSATILE AND SLAB
SIDED RAZ0aBACK.
Also Tells Of the E-uscan Black Bear, Which
EOurishss in the Home Of Senator Vsncs-Rs-
marks Abou. the Senator and Why his
Homo IS Called Courtroom.
[Co5yrtsat. 1882. BIZ Edgar ". Wal


Black mountain is the home OF the
large Etruscan black bear, Big Tom
Wilson and Senator Zebulon Baird
Vance. Four time sin six years Big
Tom Wilson has written me: Come
up SIS soon as possible. 1 have caught
the bear owned by you for killing pur-
poses. Please hurry up, as he is eating
his head off," Four times affairs Of
state have prevented me from going up
10 Black mountain, and so other hands
have killed my bear.
The bear of Black mountain Is OF the
order OF Carnlvora and tribe Planti-
grade, and is tribe OF the family Ur-
sida. They walk on the soles Of their
feet and have five toes on each foot.
Their tales are not serial tales, being
brief and TO the point. The tail OF the
Black mountain bear is extremely rudi-
mentary, and In some cases is merely a
depression.
Some species Of the bear hibernate IN
the winter, occupying hollow tree or
cave ia the earth. They remain station :
AIRY at such times, living on the record
OF their glorious past. The Kamchat-
kan bear is found In Kamchatka. The
flesh of the black bear OF Black noun
tain is eaten for food. II tastes IKE q
hot box. People who can get codliver
oil to eat seldom eat bear meat. The
bear eats mostly berries, roots and
herbs, aud therefore should be good
eating himself, but he breaks over the
rules sometimes after Lent and eats a
colored child.
Now and then one at dusk hears the
shrill cry Of shote adown the shady
valley of the north branch OF the Swan
nanoa. Then the peasantry OF Black
mountain crouch closer 10 each other,
and they call in their great wealth OF
dog where it will be safe, for they know
that Senator Vance is feeding the bear
with enc Of his clipper built hogs.
Senator Vance's hogs come OF hardy
race Of ridge rooters easily detected by
the long, sad face. He is mountain
hog and fond of liberty, reminding one
Of William Tell, except that his legs are
longer. He is sure footed and clings TO
the crags and precipices like chamois.
Yesterday" said the Senator, 1--WE
killed rattesnake and | wanted the
boys 10 keep IL TO show you, but I've
got thirty or forty hogs running around
here waiting for chestnuts or the third
party or something OF that kind TO

Professional Women and Society

A writer says that brilliant and at
tractive professional woman-lawyer,
doctor, minister, teacher, lecturer or
artist-can get into the very first ranks
OF society anywhere. Society is tired of
the conventional cut which it has worn
so long, like a dress suit, and wants to
be amused. Therefore it welcomes the
witty, bright professional woman.
This with a reservation. If the ladies
of first society have any marriageable
sons or brothers they keep them away
from acquaintance with the professional
woman as from smallpox. They don't
want her married into the family.
This, however, is nothing against the
professional woman, as the writer ap-
pears to think. A professional woman
who is worth anything at all cares more
for her work than for anything else.
Compared with the joy of the highest
success in that work ordinary society life
is dull and vapid indeed. If her chosen
life labor is to her what it ought to be.
the rich young man who never did any
thing useful in his life would be a great
drawback and hindrance as husband.
A singer or painter with an ideal beckon-
ing her on like shining hand would be
very foolish to leave her path and de-
scend to the plane Of common calls and
rec sptions.

1t seems curious on the surface that
the workingmen of Great Britain should
favor solidly the payment of members
of the house of commons, while the Con
sentative party now in power oppose it
with all their force. But under the sur
face the reason is easy to find. If men,
bers of the house of commons could re-
ceive pay, say at the rate of five dollars
a day, then men from the laboring
classes themselves could become mem
bers of the house and legislate in the in
terests of working people. This in the
eyes Of the tough old Conservatives
would be sacrilege. A tanner or a car
penter making law for the English peo-
pie would be something the old fogy of
Great Britain wousd rather die than see.
Hence as long as there is a Conservative
left he will vote against a salary for
members Of the house of commons. He
says in effect. keep the working peo-
pie out"
