honest and patient effort the emergen-
cies and vexations of daily life and
holding true to the middle course.
which assures success without bring
ing notoriety. A fixed purpose to do
well that which one has TO do will in
the end bring laurels of more perma-

the unheralded hand that achieves its
purpose than those which are even
worthlly bestowed upon the brow of

An ynecn,ou. nenr,,ns.

The Mcxicans in California had an
Ingenious method of trapping bears
before the advent OF the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
glon. A piece of meat was nailed TO
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From limb five or six feet above
q rope was suspended, to the end of
which large stone was made fast so
that 1t hung about six inches above and
trine nearer the trunk than the meat
on the lower limb.
When II bear smelled the meat from
nfar, he would climb up the tree and
make his way TO the bait. In doing
so he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about to
fnsten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger of the
bear. and he would give the stone
sweep of his paw which would send
II swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit In return
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep, then bang! and brun would be
tumbled out of the tree to the rocks
below. where, disabled by his fall, he
would be ut the mercy of those who
set lle trap whenever they chose to
take him.

The mule is ready to begin work two
or three years earlier than the horse,
lie can be put to pretty heavy pulling
when he is three years old and from
that time until he is forty, if he has
fair treatment and does not meet with
an accident, he is not likely to lose any
time. He is not subject to the many
ailments to which the horse is vic
tin, at least not to any great degree.
He lives about twice us long, and his
actual period OF usefulness is nearly
three times as long, for the horse is
really not fit for heavy service until he
is five years old or after lie is twenty,
while Il mule will often do good service
for forty years, and they have been
known to work fifty, according to one
writer, without being turned out ut
any time during all that long period
Like the ass, the mule will live upon
next to nothing, and during all his for
ty years of hard service a mule will
not require-and generally does not get
half the feed necessary TO sustain a
horse during his much shorter period
of usefulness.

The island of jamaica produces about

also as pimento. or Jamaica pepper. The
tree OH which the berries grow is ever
green, and the flowers grow in dense
clusters. These develop into small
green aromatic berries, the size of black
pepper. IL allowed to ripen, they be-
come pulpy and lose some Of their pun
gency. For commercial purposes the
berries are gathered when green, care
fully dried in the sun and afterward
packed in bags Holding 1G0 to 1870
pounds and shipped. Pimento trees
grow in many parts of tropical Amer
lea, but nowhere do they thrive as in
Jamaica. The trees are never planted
by man and receive no cultivation
worthy Of the name. The seeds are
dropped by the birds, and the rains and
the tropical sun do the rest. Surplus
trees are cut down and become walking
sticks and umbrella handles This spice
is more mild and innocent than most
other spices.
