GAVE BATTLE TO THREE HAMP-

Is Believed to Have Been the Mate
of the Great Beast Killed Recent
ly Near Wardensville.

A message received from Wardens-
Vile, Hampshire county, states that
another large bear--believed by the
oldest inhabitants to be the largest
animal of the kind ever slain in that
county-was killed several miles from
Wardensville on top Of Pond mountain
by four young men who shot at the
beast at the same time. The hum
tiers were Messrs. Baker and Harvey
Sager and Charles and Frank Hish
man.
The correspondent states that the
young men had been hunting game
for some time past and while engag-
ed in that favorite sport in the War
densville vicinity at this time of the
year they ran across fresh bear tracks
Oh top of the mountain. Their hounds
scented bruin, and the dogs were hot
rpon the trail when suddenly they
almost ran into the big black monster
which turned and, becoming ferocious,
was in the act of springing upon
young Frank Hishman, but the four
hunters were prepared for such an
attack, and quickly leveling their
trusty guns they pulled the triggers

To harness the MONSOON

This Is not the only country which
has large water-power engineering
plans on hand. There is a project un,
der way in Bombay which literally
aims at harnessing the Indian mon,
soon and utilizing the resultant energy
in running the cotton mills of Bombay
and other factories In the adjacent dis
tricts.
The Western Ghauts, or mountains
forty-three miles from Bombay, are
among the rainlest districts of the
world; even during the famine years
1867, when thousands of people were
perishing elsewhere because of the lack
Of rain, the inhabitants of the Ghauts
district were nearly ruined by a rain
fall OF from twenty-five to twenty-slS
feet for the wet season, June to Octo
ber.
This speedily drains Off to the sea
Hence 1t is proposed to build three
great dams, thus utilizing three of the
many valleys as reservoirs, an under
taking made all the easier by the stony
formation, which does away with the
necessity Of artificial floors In the pro
posed reservoirs
How steep the approach Is appears
from the fact that there will be de
scent of 1874 feet in less than two ant
one-half miles. At the base of tn,
mountains will be great power sta
tlon. from which the electricity gener
ated will be transmitted to Bombay ant
other points. The largest dam will b,
ninety-tye feet high and 5000 fee
long; the second will have length o.
4.500 feet and the third Of 2,6l0 feet

The days have passed when every
woman had her knitting work. Our
grandmothers picked up the stocking
when neighbor dropped in, when the
twilight fell, when the oven needed
watching-and there Is New Eng
land tradition Of one industrious
woman who took up her knitting while
the people were gathering for family
funeral The complicated operations Of
widening" narrowing" setting the
heel" and "toeing off" were so familiar
to feminine fingers that they could all
be accomplished by freight. Every
family discussion was conducted to the
accompaniment of the clicking needles.
Mary's course at the academy, Johns
journey to Boston to find market for
mothers cheeses, the purchase of the
wood-lot and the building of the new
ell to the house were all worked into
the fabric Of the gray stockings and
the white stockings as they grew under
skillful fingers. All the plans We're laid
with greater dellberation than to-day,
when the woman's part In the conversa-
tlon is often taken by snatches, as she
runs the sewing machine, looks after
the separator, or .wields the carpet
sweeper Grandmother thought her way
to many wise conclusion over her
knitting. 1t was tonic for depression
and sedative for nervous irritability
1t was the earliest diversion for the
convalescent, and the last work which
feeble fingers and failing eyes could dc
before the final rest. How many q
daughter treasures with loving care
'the last pair Of stockings mother
knit !" The pleasant, quieting, house
wifely occupation need not go out OF
fashion because machinery makes
stockings more cheaply than hands can
make them. There Is still call for the
product of the needles. For example,
the missions for seamen are always in
want of warm knitted muffiers and
hoods, with which sailors may brave
their winter voyages. Hospitals are
glad of shoulder shawls for patients,
and bed-socks may help many poor
old woman to sleep warm. The knitting
which the family can spare may now
be turned into the great channels of
charity, and so make the knitter the
happier, and the world the warmer
both in body and in heart

virtues in various Gems.

There is hardly precious stone that
has not some superstition connected
with it. The Neapolitans will wear
amulets Of coral to avert the evil eye,
and perhaps some will remember wear
ing string Of amber beads about their
necks during their childhood to ward
off sore throats. A piece Of agate worn
on the person is supposed to be an In
fallible guard against lightning and
some persons have asserted that it was
cure for thirst-what kind they did
not mention,
The beryl was by the ancients sup
posed to be a sure cure for leprosy and
to promote happiness between man and
wife. Turquoise is said TO be q protec-
tion against falls and sudden injuries.
The topaz was highly prized by the an
clients, who believed that 1t had magi-
cal powers of dispelling enchantments
and calming frenzy.
The sapphire was believed by the an
clients to be emblematlc of chastity.
The pagans dedicated 1t to Apollo. The
green emerald Is held in highest es-
TEEN by the Peruvians and the wor-
slippers of Mantu still believe that the
mines whence are extracted all ener-
aids are guarded by terrible genii and
dragons.
Perhaps more superstition attaches
itself to the opal nowadays than to any
other stone. On the contrary. the an
clients considered that this fiery gem
had the power of rendering its owner
lovable and also of bestowing on him
he gift Of invislbility.
