DEGENERATE BEARS.
In AdirOndacl<s They Have BECOME
Mere Camp Followers.

In AdirOndacks They Have BECOME
Mere Camp Followers.
'The tameness and impudence Of the
bears in Yellowstone Park have been
commented on a great deal of late by
the newspapers" said native Adiron-
dack dweller, but doubt if those
bears can beat our Adirondack bears
much in that respect.
There was a time when the Adiron-
dack bear was as wild and shy and
fierce as his Pennsylvania or Sullivan
county brethren are reported to be, but,
as a rule, he has got over it, and de-
generated into thieving camp follow
er and hanger-on around club house
and hotel and camp grounds, PEN
sioner on the garbage pail and the re-
fuse supplies.
AT camps or club houses where they
have not been disturbed bears have in
many instances forgotten their shy
ness and fear of danger to such de-
gree that they come staggering to the
very kitchen doors, and, If not chased
from there, do not hesitate to enter
the camp itself and nose around for
choicer morsels than the garbage pail
contains. Bears became such nuiS-
ance in this way at Garry Benson S
place in the Peseco lake region last
season that he pitched into one impu-
dent old chap one day with horse
whip. The bear went back to the
woods, stopping every few steps to rub
himself, looking back at Garry each
time in evident surprise at the recep-
ton he had received.
Nobody at Benson's camp would
think of killing one of these shaggy
intruders any more than he would think
of killing a woodchuck, Garry Benson
says that kicking them off the premises
and stoning them is only a temporary
relief, but the horsewhip laid well over
q bear. he finds, causes that bear to
give that place a wide berth there
after.
AT the district school at Sanders
Mill, on the Mad river, a big bear came
slouching out of the woods one day,
a week or so ago, and advanced d.
rectly on the school house. Some OF
the children had eaten their luncheon
on the grass in front of the building.
THE bear stopped and licked up the
crumbs and remnants of the repastr
and then stuck his head in at the school
house door. The screams of the pupils
and the school ma'am frightened bruin,
and he hurried back into the woods.
1.-THE next day the bear came to the
school house at about the same hour
and ate the crumbs and crusts he
found on the grass. He didn't venture
to the school house door again, though,
and after he had cleaned UP the rem
nants of the school lunch he went
slowly back to the woods.
His visits became of daily regular
ity, and, it being evident that he came
with no evil intent, the teacher. and
now and then a pupil, took to tossing
him an apple or other bit of luncheon,
and finally to feeding him out of hand.

Then there is the case of a certain
assltant superintendent in one of the
biggest steel mills of America. He is
the youngest man ever to fill the posi-
tion-he is not yet % years old--and
less than a decade ago he was earn
ing living by selling papers and
packing shoes on the streets of Pitts
burg. : a
1t was his ability to fill these two
roles at once. and to fill them success
1ully, that got him his opening. He
was shiing shoes and selling papers in
front of the fashionable and exclusive
Duquesne Club one day when a man,
stepping out of the club, beheld him
ana, after studying him a moment,
walked up to him.
How do you manage to do both
things at once?" he asked the boy.
The reply was ready:
Il keeps me eyes open and me hands
goin'."
very WELL" said the man, eff that's
the way you do it, I can find use for
you" and with that he bore the young
ster off with him to steel mill.
The boy was started in at wheeling
iron; later on he was put inside and

still later on he had helpers of his
own; and all the time he kept his eyes
open and his hands going. Moreover,
he studied at night to improve his
store of knowledge, so that when he
was summoned into the superintend-
ent's office and informed he was to be
that individuals assistant, he knew
the business from the ground up and
was far from deficient in the culture
that books inpart to their lovers.
This former Ragged Dick is to-
day recognized as one of the most
promising of the coming men in the
steel industry around Pittsburg.
And So" concluded the host of the
newsboys, II could continue ad in
f1nitum. But the refrain of my words
would be the same-the street Arab
still has as much chance to get up in
the world as ever he did; and he who
says no is either ignorant of the true
conditions Of affairs as regards these
Ragged Dicks or else is a believer in
the erroneous theory that the day
when the poor boy could rise is past
and gone" =

NOVEL PEDOGRAPH.
Machine which Registers Distance
Walked and Direction Taken.

From the Baltimore News.
The Photograph is a newly devised in
strument which not only makes a rec
ord of the distance travelled by a Pc
destrian, but of the direction taken,
so that at the end of tour a map can
be shown giving the distance covered
and direction taken in black and white
It is the invention of a man named
Ferguson, who gave a description of
the machine before the Engineers So
ciety of Shanghai.
The Photograph is contained in box
that the person walking bears along
before him suspended from the shout
der by a strap. This box contains a
small board, on which is fixed a sheet
of paper which is to receive the trac-
ing, parallel to the board and at a
little distance from 1t being a plate
of unpublished glass. The active por-
ton of the nsJument-called the re-
corder-is composed of small metal
lie frame bearing wheel with pointed
teeth which rests on the paper and
traces by punching holes. The recorder
is supported on the paper and on the
glass by small wheels. The board be-
ing maintained vertically under the ac-
ton of it's own weight, the descent be-
Ing TeBGldLSQ by the SHAKE given edCn
time by the steps of the bearer.
Here are the essential portions Of the
recorder. A small moving body-ar-
ranged as an equilibrated pendulum
a long spring acting on a very small
lever, which, at each oscillation, makes
advance to the extent of tooth, and
a ratchet wheel, the axis of which car
ries an endless screw geared to the
printing wheel. If the ratchet wheel
has fifty teeth. fifty oscillations will
make one round of its axis and the
printing wheel has made a mark for
fifty oscillations or steps. If the in
terval of the teeth of the printing
wheel is 1.20 Of an inch corresponding
to fifty steps, 1000 steps will correspond
to inch or one-hah mile, 1000 steps
to 2 inches or one mile. etc.
The board is always vertical and is
fixed in the middle of a horizontal axis
connected with the box or envelope.
and consequently the board may turn
around this axis. At the upper part
of the box-which a spirit level alwa US
keeps evenly held--is a piece carrying
a magnetized needle forming a COM
pass. A button, which is turned by the
hand, makes the piece in question al
ways coincide with the needle, II a turn
in the direction causes the walker to
deviate from the original direction. A
little transmitter composed of two pun
leys of the same diameter and an end
less cord connects the piece carrying
the needle to the axis Of the board, SO
that If the bearer changes his direction
to right or left the board inclines from
one side to the other of its original di-
rection, while always remaining the
same as the glass in vertical plane.
1t will be found that the recorder thus
not only traces the distance, but also
the direction in WHICH the bearer is go
ing.

BEAUTY DON'TS IF
YOU WOULD BE A
BELLE AT FORTY

Don't think you are too old to do
this, too old to do that. You are al
ways as young as you feel. People
grow old by thinking themselves old.
Don't think you are too old to be
young. Live young life, which has
a tendency to keep up youthful looks.
Woman, while not being kittenish or
a bud" need never be old in her
ways.
Don't think that you are forbidden
to think of your looks, or to attend
to your appearance, because you hap
pen to be thirty. Balzac has said that
woman of thirty is at her most fas-
cinating and dangerous age-that is,
dangerous to the hearts of men.
Don't make a mistake about ito

of youth, is no longer the fashion
The fashionable age for a successful
forty.
Don't, however, go on the house.
top and proclaim to the world that
you are forty and glad of 1t.
Don't attempt repair and preserva-
ton of beauty with paints, powders
and wells. Take plenty of exercise,
stand erect, sit erect. When you speak.
let your voice possess volume and en-
ergy. When you think, think freshly.
Don't say you haven't time for the
afternoons forty winks." Take 1t, and
your renewed strength will show in a
freshened complexion. A half hours
nap after luncheon will do more to
eradicate wrinkles than all the beauti-
fiers in the world.
Don't think that a life of ease and
luxury is essential to preserving
youthful, delicate looks. A certain
amount of work and exercise is neces-
sary to keep the muscles firm and
elastic and the flesh hard.
Don't let go Of love or love Of ro-
nance. They are amulets against
wrinkles. Not all of the worlds hom-
age is poured at the feet of girlhood.
Don't fancy that the dew of youth,
with its complexion of roses, is alone
able to inspire passion. A woman's
best and richest years are from thirty
six to forty. The old saw about sweet
sixteen" is exploded.
Don't be glum If you want to be
young. Dance and sing and, above
all, laugh. Ride, drive, row, swim and
walk a mile-or make it three-daily.
Keep your heart young, and thus defy
Father Time.
Don't belong to the "old folks" and
nod through the evening hours be-
cause your boy is at college.
Don't be afraid that some one will
say, "Why, she goes about like young
girl" If you feel light and easy in
motion, why be staid moping, aTtifi-
cial because you are supposed to be so,
being no longer young?
Don't be envious or disheartened or
impatient. Those evil habits make ugly
lines in the face. Do gentle kind.
generous things without thought Of re-
turn.
Don't think there is intense respect
ability In being rather ugly because
you are old. No old person has right
to be ugly She has had all her life in
which to grow beautiful.

why Trousers Are Turned IN.
From the Philadelphia Record.

A mans trousers, when a tailor
presses them in the summer are nearly
always pressed with the ends turned
up, but in winter they are pressed
turned down. why" a man said to
a tailor the other day. why this diff
ference?" The tailor answered to this
grave question: Trousers are press
ed turned up in the summer because It
is presumed that every man wears
them turned UP In this season. He
wears them so because in the summer
he wears low shoes, and trousers that
are not turned up catch at the back
in such shoes. But turned up they
don't touch the shoes; they don't catch
IN them: they set right. That Is the
main reason why we turn up trousers
in the summer. Another reason 10 that
warm, damp weather affects trousers
length; IL makes them an inch longer
and sometimes, II they are heavy, II
makes them two or three niche slonger.
Hence. n they were not turned up they
would drag, like a woman's train, over
the dirt.

would you not have the varicocele re-

such a method as have here describ-
ed When / made 1t known specialists
everywhere clamored for the secret of
how l was able to cure varicocele
without the knife, as for ages 1t had
been thought impossible to cure vari-

the knife. To-day you can come to
me feeling sure that your varicocele
can be permanently cured in very
short time without keeping you sim
gle day from your work. My treat

HydroceIe Causes Vital Drains.
Hydrocele is a form of dropsy and

thought necessary to make an incision
into the skin to let out of the watery
deposits, but my method does 1t with
harmless vegetable medicines alone.
Cure the Varicocele and your ennis
sions will stop instantly. The worst
case of hydrocele will succumb to my
treatment in a very short time. Watch
yourself for the next few days. If
your scrotum has a habit of enlarg-
ing for no reason at all, and at other
times feels flabby, then you have hy-

what Structure Does to You.
There is one point that I have al
ways wished to call to the attention
of men, and I find this a good oppor-
tunity. It is with regard to bladder
trouble and sexual weakness. In my
two generations of experience as a
specialist in mems diseases 1 have
found that the majority of cases Of
bladder trouble and sexual weakness
in men are due to structure, varicocele
or hydrocele. Cure the latter ana you
cure the former. Many a man is de-
priving himself of sleep by having to
get up half a dozen times a night 1or
no other reason than that he has
structure. He may not even know he
has it, yet there it is, running his con-
stitution. Why continue on as you
are? Come to me and l will cause
that structure to dissolve and pass out
with your urine unnoticed. There Will

VIENNA, April 26.-The efforts Of Kolo-

vert Hungarian emigration from it's pres
ent routes through Bremen and Hamburg
to the Hungarian port of Fiume are meet
ing with unexpected difficulties. One OF
the largest Of the shipping companies OF

with the Hungarian government for the
necessary concessions. II was found, how
ever, thai the Fiume route would be much
more expensive. as the journey from that
port would occupy from fourteen to twenty
days, as compared to eight and Ave from
the German ports. For this reason the
negotiations have been suspended indeh-
nitely. The government, however. is not
willing to abandon its efforts TO build up
