SWAMPS ALIVE WITH BEARS.
The North Carolina "Dismals," Have
of Late Been Overrun by the
Mischievous Creatures.

The vast swamps, or "dismals," as
they are colloquially known, that
cover three-quarters of the peninsula
counties of North Carolina, are alive
with bears, which fatten on the ber-
ries of the black gum, on wild grapes,
and nutritious swamp roots and
growths. And not infrequently they
modest the cattle of the farmers, says
a report from that section.
There are many wild hogs in the
swamps-fierce, big-tusked, long
legged, and long-snouted beasts-and
while these bears do not hesitate to
give battle to these when their appe-
tites particularly crave pork, the wild
hogs are such savage and tenacious
fighters that bruin, as a rule, takes his
chances in stealing the less pug
nacious cornfed shoats of the farm
ers.
There are three kinds of bears In
these North Carolina swamps. One,
because of its color, the natives call
the cinnamon bear, but it is far from
being the ponderous and ferocious
cinnamon bear of the RocI mountain
regions. Another is the black bear,
with fur of the deepest, deadest black,
but lacking firmness in the skin. This
bear is invariably fat, and its flesh is
sweet, tender and juicy. Much black
err than the black bear of northern
woods, this variety is also much heay-
Ter, 500-pounder being no rarity.
The other bear dweller in these
swamps is one not much more than
half the size of the black, and is dark
brown in color. This one is known as
the hog bear, not because it has a
fondness for hog, but on account of its
partiality for food it has to root or dig
in the ground to obtain-insects,
grubs, frogs, lizards, and the like
There is only one thing the hog bear
likes better than these, and that is
corn when it is in the milk or at the
roasting-ear stage.
This bear is consequently a great
corH-stealer, and despoils the farmer
of much of his crop. 1t is the habit of
the bear to seek at night the corn
fields when the corn is in milk, and
strip the ears from row after row OF
stalks, husking them as expertly as a
champion corn-husker could do it.
Next morning piles of husks and piles
Of cobs tell of the marauding visit.
Because of the abundance Of bears
in these swamps, bear hunters are
naturally plentiful, and bear hunting
is much INDUCED in by the amateur
sportsman. Packs of trained bear
dogs are kept at many places, notably
at Shawboro and Hartford, on the
Norfolk & Southern railroad, and at
Swan Quarter, in Hyde county.

Peeresses who complain that they
cannot choose their favorite colors for
their coronation robes may have this
doubtful consolation. that the queen
is no better of than they are. She has
to wear robes of color which is, in
her opinion, the least becoming. Her
own wish was for white, or, failing
that. for red. Purple, however, was
prescribed. No doubt purple offers a
wide range Of tints-the "Tyrian dye"
being in all probability as rosy in eff
feet as is "the purple" of cardinal,
for SO "the red" has frequently been
called. But the queen is not to be al
lowed this laxity, and the purple In
which she is 20 appear is that of a
frankly violet turn.--London Chron-

LAST OF A GREAT FIRE.
Burned for Fifty-Three Years an Il
Consumed the Interior of a Hill
In Pennsylvania

The fire in the mine at Summit Hill,
Carbon county, is out, says recent
Wilkesbarre (Pa.) report, after fur
nishing a spectacle for so years. The
mine caught fire before the civil war.
The fire could not be controlled, and
1t was decided to let it burn itself
out.
There was much speculation at that
time as to how long it would take
The hill over the main fire rose to a
height of 60 or 70 feet and the veins
outcropped at the top. 1t was there
fore apparent that the coal would
have to be burned from the very heart
of the hill before the fire could eat
itself out.
Many mining men believed that the
fire would burn out in ten years, and
none gave it more than 20 years, but
its life proved to be SO three years.
For many years there were no out
ward signs of fire except the smoke
and the gas which escaped from some
natural ventholes, but of late years
the fire had so eaten upward into the
hill that at night the flames were
plainly visible and could be seen for
miles.
The final act of this fire was wit
messed by only one man, miner, who
was on his way home from work last
Sunday morning about two o'clock.
He was passing within half mile of
the hill when he heard a rumbling,
evidently caused by the accumulation
and explosion of gas in the interior of
the hill.
These explosions grew in force I'M
til there was loud report and gush
Of flames and smoke from the top.
Then the peak of the hill sank slowly
and the sides tumbled in after it, i'll
| ing up the hollows in the veins below,
long ago eaten out by the flames.
Showers of sparks and great gushes
| of smoke burst forth, and the heavens
were lighted by the flames as the hill
sank. The whole time consumed in
this final work Of destruction was not
more than half an hour, and when it
was over the hill was like the crushed
in top of pie, and the fire which had
burned for So years was slowly dying
out for want of fuel to feed upon. 1t
had eaten out the hill until there was
nothing left but crust.
