ANOTHER FREAK FROM
NEBRASKA STATE
half-Bear, Half-D0g With Ears
of Spaniel and Hump

Half Bear. half-dog, a remarkable
prodigy of nature has been found
in Nebraska by |. Pinter. 1t is the
only known example of the crossing
of the dog and bear families, hither-
to considered by biologists so distinct
and seperate that they could not pos
bly, he brought together.
The creature is now II months old
and weighs about thirty-five pounds
but looks much heavier. At first
sight the animal gives the impress
ion of a peculiar kind of dog, al
though on closer examination the
bear peculiarities are more evident.
The ears are long and dropping
like those of a spaniel; the tail is also
that of a spaniel. The eyes are large
and have the mild, dog-like express
sion. A bear has short outstanding
ears and a stub tail never more
than a couple of inches long.
But the bear hump is very plain
above the hind quarters. The legs
are bear paws. thick as mans arms
and short, with pads that will in time
make an impression similar to the
human foot, and the claws are long.
Teddy has never been heard to bark
but will occasionally give a modest
bears growl. In habits he is more

and indictments he may absorb.
But though a sneeze may not be
avoided, it maybe cultivated, and
from a stertorious snort it may be
modified into a gentle. melodious
trill. For anybody who startles the
neighborhood with frequent sneezes
the experiment is worth WHILE"

HOW TO live TO
BE A CENTENARIAN.
Sir Lauder Brunton'S Advice To
Those Who Would Reach
One Hundred Years.

Though threescore years and ten
is generally regarded as the normal
span of life, there is no insuperable
reasons, in the opinion of Sir Lauder
Brunton, why it should not be the
rule rather than the exception for
men and women to retain their &C
tivity until 80 or even a 100.
Sir Lauder treats the subject in a
paper in the Lancet.
"The number of men living to loo
years per 100000 of the population
from 1891 to 1900 is only 7 and of
women "a, as compared with Is men
and 80 women in 1888 to 1854"
Dust Sir Lauder Brunton regards
as one of the greatest enemies OF
old age. since it is frequent cause
of colds and other respiratory dis
eases. z
"At the time when fused my con-
sulting room as a library" he says
81 found very frequently that if |
had occasion to consult a book from
one of the top shelves | was apt tc
get cold in the head.
"This required with such regular
ity that at last took to sponging the
top of the book with a solution OF
carbolic acids before using it."
Chills, and especially local chills,
are to be guarded against.
wind which comes fairly in ones
face is little to be dreaded, but if
wind catches one in the back of the
neck, behind the ear, or even at the
side of the head, it is much more
dangerous.
Largely, open windows are COM
paratively safe, but a chink through
which the air blows with force, is
to be carefully avoided.
Zone reason Of this probably is
that wind blowing through a chink
causes a more rapid current of air,
and thus chills the part Of the body
against which it impinges, much
more quickly than air moving slow
sy and still more than air which is
not moving at all"
Improper mastication of food is
also fruitful cause of organic dis
eases in middle age.
'The practice of gobbling," Sill
Lauder Brunton says, may, to {
certain extent. at least, be response
BILE for the larger proportion of can
Ger of the stomach, which occurs ir
men and women at the age of 5;
years, the numbers being 1924 anC
1857, while at 60 years the number:
are nearer equal, being 2,6S5 anC
1917, and at higher ages they are
reversed"

end OF The WORLD
IS NEAR AT HAND.
october 1914 is the Date for the
End to Come, According to
Edmund Williamson,

The Watch Tower Bible and Tract
Society. of Allegany, Penn, through
Mr.. A. Edmund Williamson, an.
nounces the above date to be the be.
ginning of the millennium.
Mr.. Williamson, who is secretary
to Charles T. Russell, head of the
society, did not, however. announce
that there would be general con-
fiagration of the earth and an in
cineration of all the wicked on that
date, but rather a great change u
in the words of H. G. Wells, marked
by the second-an invisible-advent
OF Jesus Christ, after which the era
of complete holiness and peace will
steadily develop.
The speaker voiced the opinions
of Mr.. Russell, which are based up
on careful study, spiritually, phi
Illogical and arithmetical, of Holy
Writ, particularly the utterances of
the prophets.
1--WE have fixed this date from the
scriptural prophecy to the effect
that seven times shall pass over be-
fore the second advent" said Mr..
Williamson. Nov, the times of
the Gentiles, to which reference is
made, began when Israel was first
cast off from divine favor, as shown
by its being taken into captivity by
Babylon. That date was SOC B. G.
"A time in chronological prophe-
cy is a lunar year, either symbolical
or literal. If the latter, its length
is $50 days; if the former, $50 years.
Seven times, on the latter basis,
would be $500 years, which would
bring us to A. D. 1914, or to the be-
ginning Of 1915, according to the
Jewish system of reckoning time "
The elimination of the present
era will, according to Mr.. William
son, be all-pervading anarchy. Then
will come the second advent of
Christ, not, however, in physical
and visible form. At the same
time, certain kings" will rise from
the grave as perfect, God-like men,
and probably will be the re-incarna-
ton of the old prophets-though
since, they will be invisible, they can
hardly be said to be truly incar-
mated.
These kings" will select the best
of living men as princes" who will
teach the rest of the world how to
live, and whose teachings and admin
istration will be universally accept
ed.
Mr.. Williamson held that the Jews
would be the first people to align
themselves with the great change, y
since they had most preparation
for it.
