- BEARS AND BEAK MUSTERS. The Ureal Rmtnpii near Lackawaxen, Pa., where the ninck Brni Feed on Wild L Hom y and Pigs-How lie la Hunted nnd Trapped. In the extensive swamps of Wayne nud Pike counties, Pa., ami Sullivan and Delawaie, N. Y., the blaClrtear, even at this late day, roams and rears its young in a security almost as undisturbed as it aid a century ago, and finds in the out lying arens of beech and onk forests as ample supply of food. The hunting and trapping of these animals furnishes both pleasure and profit to many of the back woods inhabitants, hundreds being cap tured every year. Their skins nnd meat conimaud ready sale. The skins bring from 15 to $25, and the meat sells for twenty cents a pound. The hunter realizes from $60 to $80 on a full-giown bear. The principal bear hunters in the Pike couuty region are the Shaffers and Q aicks. They live in the depths of the woods, seventeen miles from this place. Pinchot Swnmp, Balsam Swamp, Ind;m Swamp, Maple Swamp, and Hemlock Swamp are great bear haunts. Jo ?s Shaffer, the youngest member of the former family, was nt Lackawaxen, Pa., a f days ngo after some supplies, and a New York Sun correspondent gleaned some interesting particulars from him in regard to bears ond their habits. He said : "Nex1 to a bee tree, a bear likes t.i run foul of ayaller-jaeket or n hornet workin' in the woods. He'll prance 'round till he finds the hole the yaller bee goes into, 'r the hornet's nest on a tree 'r stuck fas' to a rock. Then they's fun. In about three jerks a bear'll turn a yal-ler-jacket's nest wrong side out. Two 'r three digs witli his paw nnkivers 't. The little yaller reptiles fight like fury, and sometimes kiver the bear till he looks 's if he had mustard spread all over b'm. But the bear shets his eyes an' kird o' grins, an' licks the honey out 's clean 'a yer old womau'd wash a platter. An' all the time he smacks his chops an' don't pny any more 'teutiou to the beei th'nif the? was so mauy straws a-tick'in' of him. I shot a big ' bear onct which wns goin' through a yaller-jacket's nest over nigh Injin swamp, 'u' killed him dead. If I'd only wooded him, an' he'd a showed fight, I'd a tackled him, o" course. But there he laid dead, and if them little scamps didn't scare me out; au' I was 'fraid to go an' skin my dead bear 'till they made up their minds to quit an' dig out. "But it's more fun to see a bear git at a hornets' nest. One o' these '11 be's big 's a half bushel sometimes, an' 'r geu'rly stuck into a rock 'r in a tree mos' always o' reach o' everything. But when a bear claps his eye oil a hornets' nest you see a smart critter. If it's on the rocks, he climbs up till he stands on the edge o the ledge above it. Then he kicks big stones 'n pieces o' wood down nt it till one hits it, au off it goes, fol lowed by a million or so o' the maddest hornets 't ever got on their ear. Jlebbe you don't know't, but a mad hornet ain't a takiu'a back seat for anything that prowls the woods. When one o' their nests is kerflummixed like this, they seemed to know who done it, an' thev wait for the bear to come ou. He ain't long a comin. Then the hornets go for liim ; but he don't care. Sometimes he'll get up on his hind legs and square off at the hornet's with his paws an strike out as if he were boxin'. All the time they's a goin' on his face, and he keeps his eyes shet. Often he'll lay down an' roll on the nest, 's if he wanted to tease the hornets more ; nn I seen a big she bear onct take up a nest she had stoned down, put it under one o' her arms, and prance off with it 's if 't was a good joke on the hornets. One mad hornet I guess could kill the biggest ox 't ever stood, but a hull nest of 'em never raised a lump 's big 's a buckshot on a Dear. v nen a hornets nest s m a tree, an' the beor cun't reach it with his paws r a long stick, he'll git up on the limb nnd dance ou it till the nest conies down. " But bee trees is the faveryte prov ender of a bear. The best bee hunter 't ever burnt honey can't line a bee tree any certoiuer than' a bear, 'u when a bear gits scent o' one ho don't give 't up till he finds it. Tiien up the tree he goes, givin' 't a whack ev'ry now nu' then to find out where the holler place is. When he comes to it ha cuts a hole with his sharp claws' an' 'taint long 'fore he's a lunchin' t n wild honey. According to Joaas Shaffer a bear wi'l ot'teu lead the hunters a chase of twenty miles through the swamps, and they have been known to keep on for fifty or sixty miles before being brought to Jonas explained the manner in which bears are trapped. Ed. Qu'ck is the most successful bear trapper in the State. He builds a pen where he finds Bigns of bear, closed on three sides, and in it places his t'-aps. These traps are like a steel rat trap, only many times larger, the jaws being armed with long, sharp teeth. When the trapper sets it he covers it up with moss, except on the broad pan. Meat or houey is placed in the pen, in such positiou that to get nt it the bear must step with one of his feet on the pan of the trap. Iustantly it is sprung, and the ponderous jaws come together, the teeth sinking deep into the bones and flesh of the poor animal. To the trap a strong chain is attached. A good-sized tree is felled ; the branches are cut off to within a foot or so of the trunk, leaving that much of them pro jecting. To this tree the other end of the chain is fastened. When the bear finds himself in the trap, he starts off with it, dragging the fallen tree with him. The stubs of the several branches plow into the ground, and so harass the progress of the bear that he soon exhausts himself aud becomes an easy prey to the trapper when he makes his rounds. Frequently the bear will work at his paw or leg until he severs it, leav ing his foot in the trap and escaping on three legs. Now and then it happens that these crippled bears are caught again iu some trap. Only last winter EJ. Quick caught one with but three feet, ft was a ponderous one, and re quired the skill of three men to con quer it. "Onct Ed want to one o' his traps," said Shaffer, "over nigh Balsam swamp. it was gone, iud tracked it 'bout a mile, when it went up a tree. Fifty feet up wai a big crotch. From one side o' this hung the big sftplin' the trap 'd been - chained to. On t other side dangled the trap, with the paw of a bear in it. You kin 'magine th' animal must 'a been an old settler t' elimb fifty feet up that tree an' drag a trap an' a log weighin' mebbe two hundred pounds along with him. That bear know'd what he was doin' they ain't no doubt He d'liber'tly clim that tree, got the chain all right iu the crotch, an' then throwed hisself down, k no win' his weight 'd break hisself loose from the trap. They'ru ounnin cusses, these bears is. Mos' gener'ly jt takes the tuck out 'n 'em, though,, to git ketohed in a trap. They seem to feel shamed o theirselfs, and shets their eyes when you look at 'em, and turn 'way their heads 's if they felt ter'ble sneakin'." Shaffer says that the prevalent idea that a bear is not possessed of speed is a mistaken one. " No one wants to come foolin 'round these woods after bear, thinkin 't they can't run," he saya. "A bear that wants to kin kiver more ground in a short space o' time th'n you've any idee of. 'Taint likely 't one 11 ever chase you, but if one should, don't try to outrun him. He kin put musio in them four thick legs o' his'n 'n you don't want to forgit 't 1 Perils of Horne-Tamlng. A San Francisco paper narrates the following exciting incident which took p'aee recently in that city during an ex hibition of horse-taming given by a Pro fessor Tapp : The horse stood near the cejt e of the inclosed circle and the pro'essor about midway beiween him and the inc'osing high ba'ricade, the horse perfeol'y subdued under the eye of the commander. Some person on a scut iu the re .r of Tapp asked him a question, and for one instant Tapp re moved his eye nnd half turned his head to answer. In that instant the crafty brute sprang upon him like a tiger. There was a yell of honor from the spectators as the horse caught the man up by the clothes nt the small of his back, shook him as a terrier doci a rat, nnd flung him through the air against the inclosing planking. Before Tapp cc tld regain his feet the ferocious mons ter was again upoi him, seizing him with bis teeth by the left shoulder aud erdeavoring to kneel down upon him. This the cross-hobble prevented him tro n doing, aud the cool professor, with his shoulder still in the crip of the monster's jaws, struggled to bis feet and with his right hand so held the bit as to prevent as far as possible the successful working of the horse's jaws. The crowd was intensely e: cited. Mr. Wooden seized a long po'e and poked it between the halter nnd the horse's lower jaw, nnd still further retarded the biting. The lr'ends of Tapp called for a gnu, but there was no gun, and what is remarkable in a collection of 200 Californians, no one had a re 'olver, or the murderous brute would hpe beea shot dead instantly. The horse and Tapp continued lighting halfway n. umd the ring, Wooden on the seats o itiide still hampering the for mer's efforts with the pole. The spectators on the front seats ako did all they could to distract the man-eater's attention, one lady seizing the crutch of a man sitting neit her and beating the horse over the head with it. Bv the aid o? these distract'O'is Tnpp was enabled by degrees to dra .v his arm through the bo'se's jpw, the horse chewing it as it s'ipped away from him until finally it was entirely withdiawj. The crowd shouted to Tapp to jump for his life, bnt the plncky trpiner called for his whip, and with his mangled left arm dangling by his side, so tickled the fetlocks of Cogniao that that enterprising animal was again what Tapp foudly calls Bub lection. Last evening the tin I tier was in the stable office with a friend pouring an odorous liniment over his bandaged arm, and the man-eater, with oil his evil passions inflamed with the taste of blood, was romping around his prison nnd eagerly reaching up for a mouthful of any timid spectator that ventured near enough to look down at him. The peo ple will continue to look forward with interest to the solution of the problem of whether Tapp will tame the man eater or the mau-eater tame Tapp. Words of Wisdom.

Run Down on the Mississippi. James Crowley, his wife nnd baby, aud a son fifteen yeara old, Ephraim Weaver, nnd a widowed sister, named Susan Smith, and her baby, left Hamil ton, 111., for the purpose of immigrat ing Southward. They embarked in two wide skiffs and a small flatbeat, which contained their small store of worldly effects. They had proceeded down the Mississippi until they reached n point opposite Quarantine Station, floating down midstream, when they discovered coming toward them the steamboat Grand Duke with barges in tow. The mm had lights displayed on their frail craft aud hallooed nt the top of their voices, but the steamboat paid no atten tion to the warning and bore down upon the boats, capsizing all three and hurl ing the occupants into the river. James Crowley passed under the steamboat and was struck by the wheel and badly in jured, but was luckily thrown against a capsized skiff, upon which he clambered. Weaver also managed to reach one of the overturned boats aud to rescue his sis ter, but her baby,- together with Mrs. Crowley and her baby and a fifteen-year-old sou, were drowned. They charge the officers of the steamboat with heart less conduct in paying no attention to their warniug cries, and in refusing to aid iu rescuing them from the water. Making Jewelry from Sour Milk. A new industry has been started in Mansfield, Mass. It is no less than the manufacture of jewelry out of bout milk. This seems a strange anomaly, but it is a fact. The milk comes in the shape of curd from butter and cheese making counties in New York, and looks upon its arrival a great deal like pop ped corn ; bnt before it leaves their shop it undergoes a wonderful change, and receives the name of American coral. The secret in making it up is carefully guarded, but it is certain that it has to be heated very hot, during which coloring matter is introduced, followed by a very heavy pressure. Homo of it is colored black and called jet, while some appears as celluloid. It makes very handsome jewelry, and is made into all kinds and style known in the tradeiv Florida' everglades are full i wild vats, bears aud raccoons. THE REALM OF TRUMPERY. Where Tore. Alack Jewelry, and Novelties Come From American Ingenuity. - A New York Times reporter rocently visited an importing firm in that city, where the great floors were packed full with au infinite variety of toys, mock jewelry, A-c quite $1,500,000 worth in oil. " Where do nil our Roods come from ?" snid one of the firm, in answer to nn inquiry from the inquisitive scribe; " why from all over the world. The higher class of toys, fancy work-boxes, writing-desks, and inlaid goods come from Nuremberg. Cheap toys, penny whistles, monkeys on sticks, jumping jacks, oheap.scts of furniture, dolls aud marbles, feo., are made in the mountain ous districts of Saxony. Formerly these too came from Nuremberg, but now their manufacture has been forced out to the country where the cost of living is at the lowest point, and consequently the price of labor is smallest. The cheapest soros of china and glass ornaments and toys also come from there, but the best, including handsome vases, figure pieces, glass jewelry, cameos, and things of that sort, we get from Bohemia, mostly about Gablouz. They send from there great quantities of imitation sapphires, garnets, topazes, and other bogus gems, that would almost deceive the very elect, so long as the elect nre not lapidaries, which nre sold here for about $12 per gross, and a big business is now done here in setting these false stones. That work is done here better and more taste fully than in any other country, except, perhaps, France, and the extent to which Yankee ingenuity has supplanted hand labor by machinery enables us to compete iu price iu much of the mock jewelry trade with even the poorest paid of the nrtisnus of France. You would be horrified, no doubt, by the by, to know how little people do earu over there, especially in Saxony nnd Bohemia. Mpny of them, adults aud skillful workers, do not earn more than five or ten cents per diem j but they all work, even the little children. No one who has eyes to see nud fingers to toil, can be spared. They do not eat meat, nnd live almost entirely ou coarse bread nnd beer. A merchant or employer will supply to a family a model, say for such n pair of dice Bleeve-buttous as you showed mo nud the requisite material. They divide up the work among them selves, so that every one of them has something to do iu it whntever he or she can do best. So they manage to turn out a great deal, but they get very little for H. " But to return to our sources of sup ply. Those real tortoise-shell goods come from Ftirth and Nuremberg, the pearl or, to speak more correctly, the mother-ot-pearl goods from Vienna. They are the most expensive of this class of stuff, excepting the inlaid enamel sets aud pieces of jewelry made iu Frauce, some of which range one third higher. The system of manufac ture in Franco is different from that al ready described. Instead of giving the work out to families, the Freuch do it iu factories small ones outside of Paris, big oues in Paris. From the Freuch come the most novel, original, aud charming of all the designs in this cheap jewelry. They put just as much skill and taste upon this enameled bit of brass, an imitation of a piece of Poui pei'nn jewelry, as they would if it were real gold and diamonds. In this respect the United States alone approaches them. There nre, indeed, certain special ties, such ns ladies' chains, sets, nnd certain other metal workings for personal adornment, aud perhaps a littlo use, in which we really excell France. The so cailed ' Scotch wood ' works comes from England ; the harmonicas from Austria mainly, some also from Saxony ; accor deons from Saxony ; jewsharps from Austra ; fine china dolls from France ; wax dolls, worsted dolls, aud rag dolls from Saxony ; iudia rubber dolls from the United States. By the way, we make in Connecticut now almost all the mechanical toys, those which move by clock-work. And we make tops of in finite variety in this country so cheap aud good us to defy foreign competi tion. The lot of vegetable ivory stuff conies from England ; those crystal beads from France and Italy. There is a range of stuff comprising an infinity of things all from Japan and China. Some of the inlaid cabinets are exquisite pieces of work, nud when you talk ubout prices of labor, what do you suppose the men get who put together the thousands of minute bits that go tojmakeup a cabi net like that which is sold hero for $15 ? I've never been there, but I've no doubt one of them would feel himself on the high road to a princely fortune if he got five cents a day." Snoring, Dr. John Wyeth is entitled to the gratitude of nil who nre nffiictedwith the habit of snoring for the simple device he has contrived to counteract the tendency. The apparatus is described by him in the Popular Science Monthly, nnd nn ex planation is nt the same time given of the cause of snoring. In the net of breathing, the air may travel to and from the lungs through the chanuels of the mouth or nose. Both channels unite in a common cavity just below the soft palate, which is attached by one end to the hard palate or bone forming the roof of the mouth and the floor of the nose. The other end of the soft palate hangs loose, and is moved by the currents of nir passing iu and out of the lungs as a window-curtain is flapped by the breeze. If the air passes through the nose alone, the end of the palate is pressed gently down upon the tongue so as to lessen the movement or vibration, and no sound is heard. But if the mouth as well as the nose be open, so that two currents of air pass in and out together during the act of breathing, the soft palate iB thrown into rapid and sonoious vibration, and what we call snoring is the result. It follows that the remedy for snoring is to keep the month shut, and admit the air to the lungs only through the channel of the nose. This can be affected bymeans of a simple cap fitting the head snugly, and united by an elastio band, near the ear on each side to a cap of soft material fitting the chin. Walking to Some Purpose. Michael Hines of Lackawaxen, Pa.', has been in the employ of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company since its organization. For the past twenty-five years he has been patrolman, nis busi ness beiug to walk up and down the tow path, to see that no break or slide ocours. During eight months of each year, for the twenty-five years, he has walked his rounds, twenty miles a day, never miss ing a single day, not even Sundays. This is an aggregate of 120,000 miles' travel iu the tweutv-flve years. Mr. Hines has just closed his lalora with the company, owing to his advanced years, and will return to Ireland, the home of his youth. He will take $16,000, his eayiugs. . Farrngnt nt Ten Years of Age. Admiral Farragut aud his family were spending the summer at the Branch, and while sitting on the portico of the hotel he snid: "Would you like to know how I was en allied to serve my country ? It was all owing to a resolution I had formed when I was ten years of age. My father was sent to New Orleans, with the little navy we had, to look after the treason of Burr. I accompanied him as cahiu boy. I had some qualities that I thought made a man of me. I could swear like an old salt ; could drink a stiff glass of grog as if I had doubled Cape Horn, nnd could smoke like a locomotive. I was great at cards, and wns fond of gambling in every shape. At the close of dinner one dny, my father turned everybody out of the cabin, locked the door, and snid to me, David, what do yon mean to bo ?' I mean to follow the sen. 'Follow the seal Yes, be a poor, miserable, drunken sailor before the most, kicked and cuffed about the world, and die in some fever hospital in a foreign clime.' No, I said, 'I'll tread the quarter-deck and command a you do.' No, David j no boy ever trod the quarter deck with such principles as you have and such habits as you exhibit. You'll have to change your whole course of life if you ever become a man.' My father left me and went ou deck. I was stuuned by the rebuke nnd overwhelmed with mortification. A poor, miserable. drunken pailor before the mast, kicked nud cuffed about the world nnd to die in some fever hospital I Tnat's my fate, is it ? I'll change my life nnd change it at once. I will never utter another oath, never drink another drop of intoxicating liquors, never gamble.' And ns Qod is my witness I have kept these three vows to this hour.

Disease is iu a great mauy nerhnps the majority of instances the underlying cause of mental depression. It will almost invariably be found, for instauce, that hypochondriacs are dyspeptic, bilious subjects, and all persons who have had any experience of such cases are aware that sufferers from diseases of the kid neys and bladder are especially Buhject to fits of ' despondency. The sure way to overcome depression is to try a course of Hostetter's, Stomach Bitters, a cheering cordiul which is lecu iarly antagonistic to the "blues," as well as to the causes which produce them. This popular and enicacious corrective of a dis ordered condition of the system remedies the most obstinate cases of indigestion, biliousness and constipation, overcomes disorders of the urinary organs, purities and enriches the bleod, aud restores vigor to the body as well as elas ticity to thejnind.
