The Albany Times Union gives several
suggestions along that line. as follows:
.'L0usening the waist will generally

woman whose waist is drawn in like
an hour glass and get her to let it
out, tying a broad band OF something
around her waist, and she viii immedi-

women have a cholled look which they
invariably make more choked by put

II would make il a cardinal sin for
the woman over 100 pounds to eat pre-
serves, pie or candy
For the woman who is Just a very
little too heavy ! have these wise
thoughts collected from years of observ-
anee and experiment:
Don't wear tall heels; YOU gain in
height. but You lose in grace.
Don't wear Eiffel tower hair Let

MADDENED THE BEAR.
Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Used by the MeSieans.

Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Used by the Msxieans.
The Mexicans in California had an
Ingenious method OF trapping bears
before the advent OF the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece OF meat was nailed TO
the stout horizontal limb OF an oak
tree. From a limb FIVE or six feet
above a rope was suspended. to the
end OF which a large stone was made
fast SO that It hung about six inches
above and a trihe nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When a bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait. In doing
so he would push the stone pendulum
to one side Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger OF the
bear. and he would give the stone a
sweep Of his paw which would send
It swinging farther out The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit In return
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu
lum with all his vigor One powerful
sweep. then bang. and bruin would be
tumbled out of the tree TO the rocks
below. where. disabled by his fall, be
would be at the mercy OF those who
! set the trap whenever they chose K
take him.
