A BEAR ON A COWCATCHER.
He Held Fast For N Ten-MiIe Run

He Held Fast For n Ten-MiIe Run
and Then Was Hunted and Shot.
Not long ago, as a railroad train was
passing through Wilder's Cut, near
Olcut Run, Penn, the engineer was as
tonished to see a black bear coming
around a sharp curve. The cut is so
narrow that there is hardly room for
man to stand aside and allow an en-
CINE to pass without striking him.
Bruin was more amazed than the en-
gineer Instead Of stepping aside. he
reared on his launches and awaited
events. The locomotive was running
less than twenty miles an hour, for the
place is a dangerous one. Upon seeing
the bear the engineer shut off steam
and applied the brakes, but the dis
lance was too short to escape an acct
dent. The cowcatcher Slid under the
hind legs Of the brute and lifted him
off the ground.
Thinking all trouble was over, the
engineer put on steam once more,
while the fireman climbed out of the
cab window and stole along the guard
rail to find out what had become Of
the bear. He was there, clasping the
cowcatcher, the lower part of his body
just grazing the ground and his head
almost reaching the bottom of the
headlight lie seemed to understand
that the only thing he could do was
to hold fast, and he did so during the
run to the next station, ten miles dis
tant. The station agent was standing
at the station door as the train APP
preached. The sight Of a fullgrown
bear on the cowcatcher fairly took
away his breath.
AS soon as the engine came to a
standstill Bruin slipped from his perch
and made a break for freedom. This
took him straight toward the agent,
who dashed through the door, slam
med it shut, leaped through the rear
door, and went up the street at a flu
rious rate, calling out: Bear! Bear!
Somebody get a gum"
Soon the town was in a turmoil. a
yelling crowd following in hot pur-
suit of the bear, some of the boys pelt-
ing him with stones. Suddenly a big

and dashed after the bear. Bruin
paused but minute or two, but when
he passed on the rash dog had no fu-
ture interest in the proceedings.
AT the street corner a lawyer carry
ing a double-barrelled gun came face
to face with the bear, but the latter
turned down the nearest alley. The
crowd increased and encircled the
frightened animal, making escape i'm
possible. Finding himself at bay
Bruin backed up against a barn, rear
ing on his launches. The lawyer sent
two bullets into the bear, whereupon
the wounded animal charged the
crowd. One urchin fell, was trampled
upon and had leg broken. The law
yer slipped another bullet into his gur
and sent the shot through Bruins head
and finished him. By this time the
engineer and fireman recalled the fac
that trainlOad of passengers were
waiting at the station, and hurried
back and resumed their official dutie!
after a bear hunt of about twenty
minutes.

bred. So far as the mass of the forests
concerned there is apparently moth
to do but hope that the pests will

minated or die out before the trees are

they are allowed to go on they will
finnish or destroy the shade for the
ason and iniure the trees more or less,
Ssides which the worms themselves
come an intolerable nuisance when
ev leave the trees and go crawling
,out.
1t is but a very few days since hatch
began. The eggs are laid in glu-
nous mass plastered about a small twig
that the whole appears like an en-
rgement of the twig itself for an men
so in its length. When the worms
rst hatch out they seem to congregate
/ colonies on the upper sides OF leaves
hev NAV be first found there-making
rown punches from the size OF silver
uarter of a dollar and from that up to
ne full size of the leaf. While young
he vermin seem to wander about a good
! al, travling in colonies, and may
|bmetimes be seen on a twig, covering 1t
that it looks to be simply enlarged
! There they are.
How can they be killed? If the leaves
nd twigs are low enough to be reached
|he killing is easy and simple. If they
re too high for that a rag may be tied
bout the end of a stick and filled with
kerosene. which is set on fire and then
cid under the worms. By getting light
or the like-and spite
|ng them work may be done to height OF
10 feet or so, and then you can get little
higher yet with the aid of stepladder
There are spraying operations and the
like. but the kerosene blaze is etlectuaI
Ind within everybOdy's reach. Appar'
Ently the most of the eggs hatch on the
over branches, which makes the de
|troying easier.
And the matter must be attended to al
bnce. The hatching-out process is il
hull swing now, and the younger the
worms are the easier it is to kill them
In a little time they will be entirely be
yond reach. One citizen reports 100 col
Dnies killed in the last two days on foul
medium sized maple trees. He thinks
that the worms he has killed would, l.
let alone, have eaten every leaf on the
trees, and he expects to kill many more
in the next few days. There is no way
to deal with the pests but to pursue then
with all vigor, and to never stop unit
they disappear.-Rutland Herald.

thing, nourishing food drink to take the
place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and
liked by all who have used it because
when properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee, but is free from all its in

not stimulant but health builder. and
children, as we'll as adults, can drink II
with great benefit. Costs about one

On all the postage stamps of Guate-
mala is engraved a somewhat distort-
ed representation of the quezzel, which
is rightly called the bird Of liberty, as
it dies almost Immediately when cap
tured. So extreme is its love for free
dom that if captured and in a few Sec
onds restored to liberty it would seem
as if the contamination of the hand
could not be removed, and it will drop
lifeless after flying but a few yards. II
1t is caught in trap it is always found
dead, and when the young are taken
from the nest they die at once. 1t
is found in only small portion of the
country, and is seldom seen alive,
since it cannot be kept long in cap
tivity.
1t is a bird Of beautiful plumage,
having two extremely long tail feath-
ers and a superbly crested head. It
is said that its pride in its tail feath-
ers is greater than its love of life, for
If one of them accidentally becomes
broken the bird goes to its nest and
dies from grief and modification. 1t
builds a round-roofed nest, having two
holes on opposite sides, so that the
Quezzel literally goes in at one door
and out at the other" and thus avoids
any necessity for tail-breaking, and
consequent art-breaking, by never
turning around in order to make its
exit from the nest.

NERVOUS INSANITY.
SHATTERED NERVES AND HEAL
THY KIDNEYS CANNOT ENIST
IN THE SAME BODY.
Necessity of Finding Remedy to Cure
Diseased Kidneys Led to the Discovery
of the World-renowned Morrow's


HidneOids.
No organs of the body are more dependent
upon the healthy action of the kidneys than
the brain and nerves. If waste matters of
formed, the nerves are the first to know it
and suffer in consequence. The kidneys
must remove these most poisonous matters.
Therefore, the importance of the relation of
the kidneys and nerves is apparent and
shOuld be of deep concern to each individual.
If the kidneys do not perform their func-
tiOns properly, Systematically and on time,
serious complications must arise throughout
the entire body. From the nerves first comes
acute and chronic headaches; then excitabil.
ity of temper; next nervous prOstratiOn,
shattered nerves and insanity With proper
treatment of the kidneys all these troubles
can be avoided or cured.
There is only one known remedy that not
only will make the kidneys sound, as nature
intended they should be, but also haYe a
strong and wholesome effect upon the nerve
centers-that remedy is Morow's kkneolds
prepared in the form of a yellow tablet.
Morrow's kidneOids are not the foolish fan
cy of day, but are the result of years of ex
| pertinent, experience and Il thorough stu y
/ of the relations existing between the nerves
and kidney. The honor of the discovery OF
! the kidneoids is due to John Morrow, thai
eminent chemist of springfield, ohio, whose

her home to drive to the church. The chatelaine is formed of a large gold or silver pin or a mount that hooks into the dress belt and from this, by narrow white satin ribbons, hangs a thimble, pair of scissors, a white leather and gold needle book, white silk and silver emery and couple of silver reels wound with white cot ton and white silk.
 The fashionable woman now dresses her self to look slender. If nature has so form ed her that this is an impossibility, every article of her attire is then fashioned to make her at least as slender as possible. Her skirts are cut in sheath-like outlines, her sleeves are small and closely fitted, her waists silk-lined, and all elaborate trimming is applied after the bodice has been closely and carefully fitted and boned. The blouse effect still remains, but only on the front of the waist, the back in near ly every instance being tight and seamless. The round waist in numberless charming effects still remains one of the prevailing styles, but the bodice with small points slightly rounded is quite as fashionable, and is very generally chosen by those who wish to look slender and long-waisted.

Infanta EuIalie's
Missions for Spain

Infanta Eulalie, aunt of the young king of Spain, Is pleasantly remembered by Americans because of her constant, unfai- ing courtesy and consideration exhibited during her visit to this country a few years ago. She is a handsome attractive woman, and naturally has been selected at this crisis in the affairs of Spain to in- terest the reigning families of many European monarchies in behalf of her country and people. She has already visit ed St. Petersburg and Berlin and succeed ed in winning many manifestations of royal sympathy from the czar and kaiser. She has gone to Vienna, and thence will visit the Hague and Brussels.
 Eulalie has not overlooked Copenhagen and Stockholm in her patriotic pilgrimage, and thus far she has encountered only kindly sympathy at the foreign courts. It is probable that she will not visit Rome London at this time, it is well known that King Humbert and Queen Victoria are both prejudlced against the Spanish government because of the brutal atrocities inflicted upon the helpless Cubans The present opposition exhibited by Eulalie to the United States is not regarded as an especially grateful manifestation of her ap- preciation of the boundless hospitalities shown her during her visit to this coun- try about five years ago.

almost incredible rapidity among the nar- ow-minded natives of Russia.
 A short time ago the bodies of three workmen-good, honest law-abiding peas ants-were discovered by the police in a deep well near Palmero. The most string ent investigations brought to light no cause for the murders. The police at length ar- rived at the conclusion that the men had been murdered solely for the reason that they were well known as honest laborers, who feared the police and loved their sczar.
 This set the minds of the astute St. Pe- tersburg detectives upon a new track. They followed up every clew that might lead to the detection of society whose object was the perpetration of crime. Theft efforts were wholly successful.
 The reason of some forty murders, for which hitherto no object had been discovs cred, and which seemed to be enveloped in an impenetrable mystery, was brought to light. The murders were ascribed to the dangerous society which had risen. The authorities are now in possession of much useful information, and by means of this they hope to capture fully 100 malefactorsf including the ringleaders.
