when it leisurely jumped over a fence

The Bowman flouring mill at East
Hickory narrowly escaped being burned
last Saturday night. A box of matches,
usually kept on the desk in the office, it
is supposed, were ignited by mice. On
the wall over the desk and on oither side
of a window were a couple of bill hooks,
each holding a bunch of paper. These
took fire and in turn sot the window cas
ing on fire, burning part of the sash near
ly in two and also burning a hole almost
through the top of the desk. Lack of any
draft undoubtedly saved the mill struc
ture from being consumed, as the fire
would doubtless have escaped detection
till too late.

Referring to the healthful and sensible
fad of the ladies in llio matter of warm
and serviceable footwear, a New York
fashion note says that the boys' depart
ments of tho shoe shops are thronged
these days with women, all engaged in
buying Loys' boots for themselves.
Fashion has driven them to it, it being
decreed that women's footgear shall lie of
such a heavy, broad build that nothing
short of boots originally made for men
will satisfy them. So the fair shopper
turns to boys' boots, men's being a trifle
oversized.
Lake Superior is in danger of losing its
distinction of being the largest fresh
water lake in the world." African explor
ers begin to think that Lake Victoria Ny
anza is larger. Superior covers 31,
200 square miles, aud Xyanza is credit
ed with about 39,0iK) ; but recent explora
tions have discovered a hitherto un
known bay on its southern side which so
increases its known aroa as to make it a
question whether it is not larger than
Superior. Fuller explanation and more
careful surveys must be inado, howvr,
beforo a decision can bo reached.
Tho Bradford Era siys : "A Quaker
Bridgo man killed a bear cub recently
and sent it to Herrii gton's market yes
terday. Tho animal weighs alxmt 05
pounds. A Bradford man who was in
the woodson Willow creek recently, says
bears are numerous thure and the hun
ters of that region are spending their
time very profitably in trapping and
shooting the animals. Mose Johnson, a
Willow creek pioneer, has a big cave into
which he lures the bears and then by
building II res at the several oullels of Hie
cavern, smokes them nut ami dispatches
Ihein with a rifle butlet. A number of
Bradford men are hunting in tho Willow
creek woods, and will probably come
homo with a line collection of bear
stories."
