BEAR HUNT IN JAPAN.
Inexperience and Rusty Guns Led MIN
rods to Disaster.

1t happened on the 18th ult., shortly
before sunset, that some surveyors ac-
companied by laborers, were still survey.
Ing field at Uyenai in Esashi-gun, Hok'
kaido.
While engaged in this work a bear
made its appearance from cave near
by, and ambling threateningly toward the
party sprang upon one of the workmen
who was in the act Of running away.
The man escaped with lacerated arm
and the bear was left VICTOR the field
being cleared of its human occupants III
q remarkably brief space Of time.
The incident came to the knowledge of
some local Nimrods, and some days later
bruin was tracked to his lair. One of
the gallant hunters fired, but there was
something wrong with his gun. Unfor-
tunately it did not go off; that is went
off, but in a rather irregular way, the
gun being rusty and the powder damp.
All these things, however, only served to
enrage bruin, who attacked his enemies.
The other hunter took the opportunity
when the bears attention was conferred
upon his companion and fred his gun,
but this weapon, too, was useless.
The bear apparently now had both
men at his mercy and in short time
they We're lying seemingly lifeless and
mangled on the ground. A passing mail

EVENING DRESS TYRANNY.
Worn More Now, Says London Sartorial
Expert, Than Formerly.

No gentleman attired in correct even
ing dress need fear being taken for a
waiter nowadays, according to a sarto-
rial expert whom a Daily News represen-
tative interviewed yesterday. The dis
cussion out of which this statement had
arisen was on the question as to whether
the "tyrrGny of evening dress" so to
speak, had become greater in recent
years. The expert declined to agree that
It was tyranny, but said evening dress
is undoubtedly worn far more general
~ in these days than used to be the
caSe.
The real fact of the matter is he
said. that evening dress Is more be-
coming to the wearer than ii was a
few years ago. There is more style
about it. The cut is smarter, the lines
Of the figure are displayed much more
advantageously and more liberty is al
Owed with regard TO the waistcoat. The
man of taste need not contine himself to
a white or black waistcoat, and soft,
pale colors-more frequently perhaps a
silver gray-are extremely popular. Then
the lower part of the waistcoat is cut
away more than was the fashion former
y and the wearing of n black tie in
stead of the white Is allowable more
frequently than hitherto.
The attempt TO introduce color into
the suits themselves was not very sue
cessful. but it was symptomatic of the
desire to get away from the stiffness of
the older fashions. 1t may be that some
men wear evening dress even though
,hey do not like it, because they feel
that their neglect to do so would be
Goticeahle on occasions, when in the past
it would not have mattered, but | think
you will find that most Of the men who
wear the correct attire do so because
they like it."-LOnlOn Daily News.

REVEALS CLUB DOINGS,
A Pastor at Canastota Makes Startling
Remarks


Rev. Victor S. Britten, pastor of
the First NJ. e. Church at Canastota.
n. Y, has caused much discussion by n
sermon in which he charged that the
rooms of two social organizations for
young people-one a young mems club
and the other a young women's club
have been the scene of gay doings, and
that these clubs have turned Canastota
boys and girls away from the churches
and into paths that lead downward The
only clubs maintaining rooms in Canas-
tota are the CantieChiel, for young men,
and the Kappa Epsilon, high school
fraternity of young women. Pastor Brit
ten declared a janitor found cigarette
stubs in the rooms of the girls club and
the girls had explained by saying that
they were left by some young men visi-
tors. The pastor said the condition per-
hitting young men to smoke in the girls
clubroom should be investigated. ION
the other hand he added, IF the young
women themselves smoke cigarettes it
would be well for their parents to look
further into their habits" He declared
another local lergyman and his wife,
walking along the street at night were
shocked by seeing a young woman dem
onstrate her ability at high kicking. The
young woman was in company with an
other girl and two young men. AS to
the boys club, Mr.. Britten charged that
a poker joint had been run in connec-
ton with it, Members of both clubs in
dignantly deny the charges.

Round Dairy Barns.


The Illinois Agricultural Experiment
Station has sent to press bulletin In
which the economy OF the round daily
barn IS discussed at considerable
length. Comparison of the cost Of
round dairy barns is discussed at con-
siderable length. Comparisons Of the
cost Of round barns with rectangular
ones, including the amount and cost
OF material, the cost Of construction,
the amount of stock that can be shell
tered. the convenience In storing. han
ding, and distributing the feed, etc.
are brought out very clearly,
The bulletins include cuts and plans
Of several round barns in actual use,
an itemized statement of the cost Of a
60-foot round barn, and cuts showing
how the round barn at the agricultural
college was built, etc. The conclusions
arrived at by the author Of the bulletin
are that the round barn has great
advantage over rectangular barn in
convenience, strength and cheapness.
1t is found that the round barn Is
more convenient because Of the com
pactness with which it Is built and the
ease of getting the feed to the cows,
Investigations show that the round
barn costs from "a to 5S per cent less
than the rectangular barn containing
the same amount of space and built
of the same grade of material.

Wine 1900 Years Old.

Bottles of wine 1900 years old have
been found in Il sarcophagus dating from
the first century of the Christian era in
a graveyard at Bordeaux. That is to
say the bottles had once contained wine,
for according to the workmen who dis
covered them they were completely dried
up inside when uncorked. A chemist,
without suSpecting the workmen of hav-
ing dried the contents up themselves,
analyzed a deposit ut the bottom of the
bottles and pronounced it to be the resi-
due of what had originally been very
good wine. 1t appears to have been so
good that the owner 1900 years age de
cided to he buried with it.-Paris Cor.
