Black Bear a Thief.

The black bear of the north is a
rowing animal, continually shifting
from one place to another at all sea-
sons except the few months in which
he curls up and lies dormant like the
woodchuck. The bear seems in
stinctively to know where to go to
find blackberries, beech nuts, succu-
lent roots and other food in which it
delights. The bear roots up the
ground under beech trees, much as
hog would, in search for beech
nuts.
The bear discovers where the chip
muuks and squirrels have stored nuts
in the ground for the winter supply
and robs their storehouse. We are
told that bears break into the pig
pens of pioneers, carrying off pigs.
| have never known of such attacks,
but l have known them to attack bee
hives with impunity for the honey
which they relish.
have heard of bears attracted to
telegraph poles by the humming of
the wires, thinking that they were in

WHY THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH..
Hypnotism, Not Drowsiness, Declared
to Be the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church
They undergo an hypnotic trance
The soothing voices and mild music
and monotonous recitative of a church
service put forth powerful hypnotic
influences, and that is why the pews
resemble a railroad track in the
abundance of their sleepers."
The speaker, a hypnotist, banged
the table vehemently.
Don't laugh" he said. Its true
Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what
makes you sleep in church. Through
your auditory nerve sound waves are
passed to your brain that are as eff
fective as though professional hyp-
notist had made them. Sound, you
know, is the newest and best hyp-
motto.
"At first, in the church service, the
periodicity of the wave alterations is
short. There is a little speaking,
then more music. And just when you
are getting properly lulled the clergy
man, in modulated, agreeable, sooth-
ing voice, speaks on and on and on
and you begin to nod. You are, hyp-
notically speaking, entranced.
THE average church service is 9
scientifically correct hypnotic instru-
ment. No wonder, then, it puts many

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

AS old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un.
der the bran-coat Of the wheat, are in.

HERE'S REAL GOOD SAMARITAN.
Looks After the Undeservine Poor
Says No One Else viii.

There is a rich man in q southern
city who makes the undeserving poor
HIS peculiar care, says the Inde-
pendent.
His methods in dealing with what
he calls a fresh sinner are unique,
and he regards them as scientific from
the heavenly point of view. He in
sists upon full catalogue of the VIC
TINS transgressions.
He claims that this is done on the
theory that a physician first admins
ters an emetic in case of poisoning.
Then if the patient is an utterly lost
and abandoned woman he frequently
takes her home with him, where she
is quartered in the guest chamber
and treated by the family as the well
come guest whose presence there is
in no ways remarkable.
For our scientist claims that it is
the loss Of the sacred home conscious
ness in such women which casts them
so far down, and his purpose is to
restore the same by his own fireside,
which is particularly attractive in that
he has wife and many young chill
dren. Nothing is said to the forlorn
one to remind her of her shame; she
is simply left to get well, as the scien-
tist expresses it.
And it is astonishing how many of
them do get well. His boast is that he
has married his girls happily all over
the country, for he is an enthusiastic
believer in wedlock. Upon recent
visit to distant city he remarked
to the editor:
Il married one of my girls off in
this town: couple doing we'll; moving
in the best society. Good as the rest,
tco, now. But it's a secret; If society
knew it would abolish her." He
winked in conclusion, at the expense
of society.
He cannot make a speech, but he Is
an eloquent sputterer: and although
his manner to ministers is wittily
deferential, he has been known to
ruin preachers meeting and make
the victims of his burning incoherence
look like rows of paper dolls blown be-
fore the breath of living man

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD 1877
Its Chief Use and a Method Of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad-
dition of more nnseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake white Lead" of which there
are many brands on the market, Is
generally some sort of composition
containing only percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all; /;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock.
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, . positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with it.
The blow-pipe fame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and it only partially reduces to lead,
leaving residue, it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.
