lawsuits which came up in the courts
of Illinois the other day again brings
up the general opinion of the higher

worth $4,000. If there is n railroad

Filbert Culture in Italy,

1t will surprise many to hear that in
certain districts of Italy the filbert
crop rivals the produce of the vine in
commercial Importance. These de-
licious nuts are grown on bushes or
shrubs, which are arranged in groups
that are from Is to rs feet apart, so as
to insure the access of plenty of light
and air. They thrive best in deep
clayey soil, and the planting takes place
during November and December of
slips from the mother plant. Seeds
could be used, but the growth would
be too slow to be profitable. AS it is,
the shrubs do not bear fruit until the
third year, and blossoms appearing be-
fore that time being removed, so that
the plant shall not be impoverished.
The plants are periodically pruned,
when any slips which have failed to
sprout are removed and replaced by
others; so that there are plantations
which remain in full growth, although
nearly hundred years old. The filbert
is not subject to the diseases common to
other crops, but it suffers severely from
hailstones and from cold Winds

Hard to &c. Acquainted with.


A young couple called at a fashion
able boarding house in the West end a
couple of weeks ago to engage board
They were from Chicago, and the hus-
band had recently secured an appoint
ment in one of the departments. The
landlady, an amiable and pretty, if q
trifle faded, little woman, showed the
couple the vacant rooms, and one of
them was finally accepted.
"Now, you'll want references, of
course" said the young wife, after the
terms had been fixed. Then she men,
toned the name of a Washington man
of some prominence.
"You know him, or of him, I pre-
sumo" she inquired. "He is my hus-
bands uncle
"Well," replied the landlady. II can
not precisely say that know him. No
body ever really knew him. He's some
thing of mystery. Now, was mar
ried to him 12 years, and at the conclu-
sion of that period, when secured my
divorce, l don't think could have con-
scientiously placed my hand over my
heart and declared that l actually knew
him. Some men are SO difficult to get
acquainted with, you know"
The situation was a bit embarrass-
ing, but the young couple took the
room they had decided upon, anyhow.

CARE OF MATTRESSES.
Need Constant Attention to Keep
Them OdOrless and in
Good Order.

The feather bed is, of course, a thing
of the past. 1t is probably not lament
ed in many quarters, as it is certainly
unhealthy, difficult to care for, and not
pleasant to sleep on. Mattresses, blank
cts, pillows and other articles of bed
ding, however, require much care to
keep them odorless and clean.
The main enemies to mattresses are
dust, damp and moth, and frequent
brushing must be given them, for in an
incredibly short time they will harbor
dust all along the edges and where the
button is fixed a loose cotton cover
over the mattress, made to button neat
ly at one end, always goes long way
toward keeping it clean. This can be
washed and changed as often as need
be without much trouble or expense.
1t is very important to air all the bed
ding throughout. Every article should
be daily taken off and laid separately
over chair, and strong current of
air should be allowed to circulate
through the room before the clothes
are replaced. The mattress should be
turned daily from end to end, as this
insures it being worn more evenly, and
not sinking in the middle.
Blankets are difficulty to many peo-
pie, mostly because they cannot make
up their minds as to how often they
should be washed, or how treated. In
many houses they are only washed once
a year, but somehow this does seem
rather too rare a proceeding. On the
other hand, it is really not necessary to
have them washed more than twice
year; but they must have proper care
in the interval in the shape of airing,
shaking, etc. A washing machine is
very good for the purpose, especially
as they should never be rubbed by the
hand. The water should be only luke
warm, and little soap well lathered
in the water in all that will be required.
Wiring the blankets very dry through
wringer, shake them out, and wash
again in the same way, wringing each
time, until they are quite clean. Do
not rinse them, but pull them into
shape, and hang them out in the sun,
which is great help to preserving q
good color.-Ladies' Home Journal.

PLANTED A GRAVEYARD.
The Novel Scheme of an Ice Company
to Head on q Northern Indi-
ana Railroad.

A fact leaked out recently which in
dicates the bearing some of the SEEM
ingly harmless bills passed by gen.
eral assembly have on large interests.
One of these bills, which passed at the
last session without any discussion,
prohibited the building of any railway
lines through any graveyard. Little
was known of its purposes, but at that
time of the session bills for the pension
ing of civil war veterans and their wild
ows and such other benevolent meas
ures were being passed more or less
regularly along with patriotic resolu-
bill was thrown out in such way as to
appeal to the sentiment of the solons.
In an effort to prevent the desecration
of graves, however, the legislators took
step, the Importance of which they
never realized, and the facts alleged
in the case follow: Ever since the
Chicago & West Michigan railway was
built, it's western terminal was at New
Buffalo, where it formed a junction
with the Michigan Central, over the
tracks of which it entered Chicago. AS
the business of the road developed, it
was found that the trackage charges
made inroads into the income of the
company to the point where it was
deemed desirable to do away with them.
Accordingly the heads of the road de-
cided to build their own line into Chi
cago, and accordingly, through their
agents, began to purchase rights of
way wherever desired. Most of the
proposed route ran through the sand
dunes along the upper end of Lake
and Porter counties, and here the
Knickerbocker Ice company, of Chi
cago, owns vast tracts of land from
which it takes sand for it's ice houses
and for building purposes in Chicago.
The new route of the railway will cut
through their most valuable sand de-
posits, and the Knickerbocker company
steadfastly refused to sell.
Only few weeks before the open
ing of the legislature the railway COM
pany announced that it proposed to
bring condemnation proceedings to Sc
cure possession of the land, and then
was Matched the bill which has rem
dered it impossible for the railway to
complete it's line. First of all, the COM
pany secured a collection of what is
known in medical colleges as 'stiffs,' -
to the number of 40 or so, and these
were buried at intervals, properly
marked, all over the tract. The next
step taken was to prepare the grave
yard bill, which was introduced by Rep
resentative Patterson, who was inno-
cent of the motives back of it, and
passed without discussion by both
branches of the general assembly, un-
der the supposition on part of the mem
bers that it was designed to thwart the
attempt of some cold-blooded railway
corporation to desecrate some old-es-
tablished burying ground around which
clustered historical associations. The
graveyard is still there, and the peo-
pie in the northern part of the state
are wondering what move the Chicago
G. West Michigan will next take in its
endeavor to reach Chicago.-Indianap.

NORTH CAROLINA BEARS.
The Mischievous Animals Are a Pest
In Three Counties OF
the State.

1 notice in your issue of January IA
that Curator Brimley, of the state mu-
scum at Raleigh, advertises for bears
for specimens, therefore l write
to say that if he will send into
Hyde, Beaufort OF Tyrrell coun.
ties, which occupy the peninsula
between Pamlico and Albemarle sounds,
in North Carolina, he can get all the
bears he cares to give room to. If any
one has lost any bears that is the loca-
ton to find them.
This intersound region is divided into
alternating areas of swamp, cornfield
and prairie, or savanna, with here and
there lake or an apple orchard thrown
in, and the bears trade from one to the
other, according to the season of the
year, or as they have opportunity.
These savannas are used almost uni
versally as cattle ranges, and there have
been at times large stock companies
which grazed many hundreds of herds.
In the early springtime, before vegc-
tation is sprouted, the bears feed on the
young jumpers (white CEDAR, by strip
ping off the bark and sucking the sap.
Later on they eat young ferns and all
kinds of new growth and insects, and
afterward worthberries, coonberries
and the like. Then they climb the
black gums for fruit, taking the green
corn next, and then the nuts and
acorns, and from fall to spring destroy
cattle and hogs. In the green corn sea-
son it is the easiest thing in the world
for them to come out of the marginal
swamps by the fields and regale them
selves on the farmers roasting ears,
and when cattle are running in the win
ter and berries and mast are done
(gone?, and the cowpeas and corn are
stacked or housed, they naturally take
to fresh meat. In fact, everything goes
then. Stockyard and hogpen are not
exempt, even when in close proximity
to the dwellings. In hard winters,
which happen periodically, the havoc
among the herds has been so great that
stringent measures have been employed
to exterminate the ursine depredators.
Spring guns, traps, deadfalls, poison,
side-hunts and drives have been put into
active use, and scores of carcasses have
been gathered in. Still the slaughter
continued among the cattle, and the
sinnaber bears continued to get in their
work until their numbers were deci-
mated. (Sinnabers are cattle bears,
and always carry q white spot on the
breast. Hog bears are smaller and
differently At last the cattle were
afraid to go into the slashes at all, and
kept entirely to the savannas. The
bears would climb the jumpers, gums
and expresses where the trails passed,
and, lying along the extended limb,
drop like panthcrs upon the luckless
animals passing beneath, sucking the
blood from their necks and clinging to
them as they ran. In the end the "crit-
ter" would succumb from fright, bleed
ing or exhaustion, and die miserably.-
