A German statistician recently pub.
lished the results of his investigation of
the relative ages of husbands and wives
IN the various capitals of Europe. Ho
discovered that marriages are most fire..
quent where the husband is two or three
years older than the wife. Women
under twenty years of age, however,
usually take unto themselves husbands
Blk or seven years older than themselves.
The cases in which the man was year
younger than the woman were almost as
numerous as those in which he was six
OF seven years older. The first condition
was true of G.7 per cent. OF all married
couples, and the latter condition of ga
per cent. The cases where the husband
was SIX or seven years younger than the
VIE were also just as numerous rs those
where he was thirteen or fourteen wears
older. Only two cases were discovered
where the husband was thirty-live years
the senior; one case where he was forty.
seven years older; and one case where
he was the older by forty-six years. One
case was discovered where the wife was
thirty-four years older than the husband !.

The Trufle is an Edible Fungus.

The truffie is an edible fungus that is
very little known in this country, except
among professional cooks. 1t is found
here in canned state, wherein, accord.
ing to epicures, it is far inferior to the
fresh vegetable. 1t imparts n very
peculiar and delicate flavor to anything
which is cooked with it. Cut in small
oblong pieces, it is used to decorate
aspic jcllics and other cold dishes as we'll
as delicate entrees. A few truflles are
frequently added to coquilles, chicken
croqucttes, or any finely favored mince.
The smallest jar of truilles which holds
only half pint cost sixty cents. There
fore this delicacy is used here chiefly to
give flavor to other dishes. New York

THE BEAR is FUNNY.
OF Course tho Humor Is Not so Appareu
When You Arc In Ills Clutch.

OF Course tho Humor Is Not so Appar rent
when You Arc In Ills Clutch.
In localities where oak forests abound,
says General MacIntire, perhaps the
pleasantest, if not the best, time for
shooting bears is in the month of De-
cember, when they are fed on acorns,
which are then ripe. They generally
commence feeding about sunset, when
they climb up the oak trees and gorge
themselves with acorns all night, often
not betalSing themselves to their lairs,
which are generally either caves or
thickets near their feeding ground un-
til some time after sunrise.
Their whereabouts is easily discov-
cred from the broken branches show
ing distinctly against the dark foliage
of the trees, the back OF the leaf of the
Himalayan oak being white.
AT the commencement of the acorn
season their attention is SO much en-
gagged with their feast that usually they
are easily approached. But on suddenly
finding themselves 'treed, their aston
ishment is ludicrous to behold.
A bear, he adds, when up tree, even
if only slightly wounded, never attempts
| straight on to the ground from any
height whatsoever. ] once saw 4 bear
had shot at roll over and over like u
ball down an almost perpendicular de-
clivity for several hundred feet. and
seemingly without much Inconvenience
from its tumble, as it was nowhere to
be found at the bottom.
An odd popularity of the bears is that
when two or more of them are found
| together, and one of them happens to
get wounded, the wounded one will
sometimes manifest its resentment by
savagely attacking one of its compau-
| ions good story in this connection
is told Of another sportsman. He had
stalked a large she bear feeding in
some open ground, with half-grown
cub at its side From the bears posi-
ton he could not get shot at vital
place, and so, instead of waiting, as he
ought to have done, he fired and hit it
behind He might just as well have hit
her with 4 ladys riding whip,
The animal, on being struck, turned
around to see what was the matter,
and, perceiving nothing but her own
cub feeding quietly by her side, came
to the conclusion, apparently, that the
cub had bitten her. Consequently she
at once rushed ut the cub to punish it
for its presumption, and the two rolled
over and over and disappeared in the
jungle. The sportsman was too much
amused to get another shot.
Another remarkable peculiarity of
bears noted by Gen, MacIntyre is that

bly, goes for the face, whereas tiger
or leopard usually seizes n limb first.
Hence it is that in the Nimalayas native
villagers are not infrequently to be seen
with their faces fearfutly disfgured by
bears claws This they arc liable to
when protecting their crops from de-
struction by the bears. Chambers
