ABBAM NOTT, who lives on Tunkahan
na Creek, in Pennsylvania, carried a half
bushel basket full of pork to his son
William's house 011 Laurel ltuu, two
miles distant, 011 a receut Monday. His
route led through woods and choppings.
Lato in the afternoon he tilled the basket
with tools and started for home. Near
the edge of Owl .Swamp ho placed tho
basket near a tree and went off somo dis
tance to gather overgroons to take home.
When he returned to the path he saw a
bear snifling at the basket. He yelled
ut the boar three or four times, but tho
bear only glared at him awhile and then
seized tho bale of tho basket in his teeth
and waddled toward the swamp. Nott
grabbed a club and chased the b nr. In
the swamp tho brute dropped the basket,
faced his pursuer, and growled savagely*.
Nott was about to strike at the bear with
his club when tho boar struck him 011 the
loft shoulder and sent him sprawling in
tho bushes. Instead of repeating tho at
tack the hoar turned, took the bale in his
teeth, and waddled off again. Nott gave
chase, overtook the bear, and pounded
him on tho buck. Tho hour dropped tho
baskot, turned 011 Nott und knocked tho
club out of his hands. Nott then sprang
past tho bear, grabbed the halo of tho
basket and started off on a run. The
bear overtook Nott soon and struck at
him, but Nott took a nail hammer from
the basket and hit the hour a stunning
blow 011 the snout. It made him winco
and stagger for a moment, but ho started
after tho running man, grinding his teeth
and snarling, and cliused Nott out of tho
swump. By that time Nott had fumblod
in tho basket till lie got hold of a pair of
sheep shears. Seeing that the beur was
still bent on regaining possession of the
basket, Nott juuimod it in the crotch of <
a sapling, turned on tho beur aud stabbod j
him in the neck with tho shears. Tho |
boar sprang up and Nott stabbed hiin in
the nock ugain. Tho boar scratched at \
tho wound with his hind foot und Nott
stabbod him several times 011 tho other
sido of tho neck, tho shours piorcing tho
jugular vein tho last time. Tho bear
made sovoral efforts to staud up and then
bled to doath. Nott skinned tho boar the
next morning and left the carcass in the
woods.
GILBERT TOMPKINS, of tho Souther
Farm, San Loandro, California, has his
own views on training trotters, and,
while ho does not claim to bo able to put
a horse in shape to go into a long drawn
out contest of heats, yet he avers that ho
can accomplish a great deal by his sys
tem and leave very little work to be done
on tho race track. Mr. Tompkins swims
his horses in a hugh tank. The tank is
a simple affair, being nothing more than
a cemented pit 90 feet long, 20 feet wide,
and 8 feet deep, with corrugated inclines
at each end, down which tho horses walk
into tho water. Thirty yards away from
the tank is a 10-liorsu power boiler,
which furnishes steam for tho tank. The
steam is forced into tho water through a
two-inch pipe, and tho water is kept at a
little below blood heat. To mako tho
bath more perfect and to further insure
against colds, tho water is strongly im
pregnated with salt, about a ton and a
half being emptied into tho pit. There
are provisions for emptying and tilling
tho pit with fresh water whenever neces
sary. At the California farm the horse
is contrylled by two men, ono on either
side, with a lino attached to the bridlo.
Round after round of the tuuk is made,
tho tr.iinor using his discretion as to tho
amount of work each animal roquiros.
Four or five laps arc enough to mako a
horse blow as though ho hud jogged a
mile. When tho swim is over rubbers
cool the horse out, thoroughly using the
same methods as are employed when tho
work is done over tho dirt track.
E. GETCHEL, a Georgetown (Cal.)
miner, recently found a nugget valued at
#IO,OOO in Devine Gulch, one mile east
of Georgetown. Devine Gulch, which
empties into Oregon Canyon, was so
namod from one Devine, au English
sailor, who, in 1851, found in this gulch
tho largest nugget which,up to that timo,
had boon found in California, its value
being #BOO. The result of this find is il
lustrative of the state of society at that
time. Devine gave the nugget to his
wife, and told her that should ho return
home drunk not to give him the gold, as
ho would spend it He did return drunk,
and as she refused to givo him tho gold,
ho shot and killed her with a shotgun.
Devine was immediately hanged by the
miners. It is said that a most remark
able circumstance connected with the
lynching was that the tree upon which
ho was hanged very soon died. In 1852
another nuggot valued at #SOO was found.
Besides these several smaller nuggets
have been found at various times. When
Getchel found the nugget ho was sluicing
off tho ground, which had boon con
demned as worked out, for the purpose
of filling a reservoir at the the
gulch. Ho noticed a few colors, and
followed up tho lead to where ho found
what ho supposed to bo u piece of
quartz, but was astonished upon finding
it to be gold. Its weight is 501 ounces.
MR. H. F. G uoss, a Philadelphia!!,
who has been studying the anatomy of
the oystor for six years, during which
time he has dissected 0,000 specimens
and put them undei the microscope, ad
vances the theory that oysters may com
municate tuberculosis, that, iu fact, tlicy
are often overrun with baccilli, To u
visitor Mr. Gross said: "Let me show
you how I work," aud, opening a small
case of slonder, keen-edged knives, he
cut tiny portions from each oyster.
Theso he placed in jars of colored fluid
for several minutes, and then, handling
them with small Gorman silver tweezers,
ho mounted the particles on glass slidos,
first dropping a little Canada balsam
upon each slide. Ho lit a lump beside
his microscope, placed a slido beneath
the lens, and then, after carefully ad
justing the focus, exhibited, ono after
another, upwards of thirty parts of the
oystor's organism. "1 have discovered,"
lie continued, "iu the lungs of 00 per I
cent, of the specimens examined clearly
defined baccilli, this fact seeming to
provothat thousands of oysters suffer
from consumption. lam ablo to tell at
a glance whother or no an oystor is thus
atHictod, but the majority of openers uro
not, ns the disease makes only a slight
change in tho oystor's appearance. Con
sequently, through tho ignorance of his
server, a man innocoiit'y will eat a con
sumptive oyster, then the baccilli tuber
culoid in its lungs may impregnate his
system,and ho is pot unlikely to fall a
victim to tho fatal disease."
A. R. HILL, a loading lawyer of Dan
ville, III.# was recently in Elberton, Gu.,
on a peculiar mission. Ho came to re
cover au old family horse that was stolon
from him on Deoember 21, 1890, aud
which he followed over ono thousan I
miles. The thief that stole the horse
carried it to Indianapolis and sold it to
some horse dealers. They sold it to somo
Atlanta stock deulers, who shipped it to
Elberton. A gentlemun from Mr. Hill's
home, who was visiting in Elberton, saw
the iiorso and recognized it, and at once
notified the owner. Mr. liill came to sou
uhout the much beloved animal. On his
arrival he was informed that his horse
was in the stables of Hill & Walker, and
that 110 would have to prove beyond a
doubt the identity of it before he could
have it. With some other gentlemen
Mr. Hill proceeded to the -table. When
ho walked into the stall the horse
neighed and pranced, and when Mr.
ilill held out his huud tho horse licked
it with seemingly us much passion us
ever one person kissed another Tho
gentlemen present were astounded at tho
instant recognition of tho master by tho
faithful old family horse after a full
year's abseuco. Tho gmt lonian who
had possession of the horse told Mi. Hill
to take it, rem irking: "You need not
identify the horso, he lias identilied you.
1 would hate to be a murderer and own
that horse. I might run 011 him some
day aud could 110ver conceal my identi
ty."
THE saying that "tho only good Indian
is a dead Indian" must bo modified, in
favor of tho Motlakahtlans of Alaska,
who seem to bo fur advanced in the
mothods and ethics of civilization. Mr.
W. Duncan, a missionary among those
people, says of them: "The Motlakuhs
luns arc undoubtedly the most civilized
Indians in tho world. They differ from
most lndiuns in thut they are anxiou; to
work, and are most unhappy when they
are not wo king. The typical Indian,
you know, is a fellow who sleeps in a
dirty blanket, und walks with it wrapped
around him in the daytime. The Met
lukuhtluns have a regularly luid-out town
and have built pretty cottages with
garden spots in front. They earn their
living by working in a saw-mill und can
nery which wo liaro established. Tlioy
are all christians and have no heathen
customs or tribal relutions. They have
no particular creed, and the Biblo is
their book of law. The municipality is
governed by a council of twonty-hve,
elected by popular vote." Before join
ing this ideal community the Indian
must sign an agreement to refrain from
gambling and tho use of intoxicants, to
givo up tribal relations, send his children
to school, and bo a loyal subject of tho
Government of tho United States.
A LOH ANGELES (Cal.) physician says
that the most trying timo in all his ex
perience was during the past five weeks,
when ho stood hopelessly by and saw a
poor ranchman near Puente dio by inches
of what is known as progressive paral
ysis. The patient was first taken in one
big too. In a short timo the limb was
paralyzed to the knee. Two physicians
wero called, and all the known remodies
wero applied to stay the progress of the
deadening attack, but in vain. Hour by
hour death moved on its victim. The
patient was propped up in an arm chair
and fully realized his condition. lie
awaited the end with the coolness and
bravery of a martyr. As tho lino of
death crept nearer and nearer his heart
ho made calculations as to how much
longer he could live, lie said: "Now it
has reached tho body," indicating tho
exact place with his finger. In a little
while ho said: "It has reached the bot
tom of my lungs." Another short wait
and he said faintly: "It has touched my
heart," and he fell over dead.
IIOSKMAN WILLIAM WILSON of engine
house No. 7, in Frankford, a suburb of
Fhiladelphiu, is the happy possessor of a
Remington rifle, and tho other afternoon,
while killing sparrows for a convalescing
grip patient, made a peculiar and won
derful shot. Noticing a sparrow perched
on a telegraph wire lie aimed his rifle
and tired at tho bird. lie was standing
almost directly beneath the bird when
the shot was tired, but, strange to say,
the bird remained fixed without showing
signs of having been struck or any fear
of bodily harm. Wilson, who is a crack
marksman anp rarely misses, refused to
fire another shot. After the lapse of
two hours the bird was observed to bo
sitting apparently iu the same spot. A
lineman who was passing that way WHS
induced to climb the pole, when ho dis
covered that tho sparrow was pinned
fast to tho wire, the conical ball from
Wilson's rifio having hit a Haw in tho
wire and torn out a strand about two
inches long, which, passing directly
through the body of tho bird, had trans
fixed it to tho wiro.
TIIE recovery of speech by Mary
Hopkins, a unite ininute of the Wayne
county (N. Y.) almshouse, after being
dumb over fiur years, has been pro
nounced murvollous, and the cause aud
euro alike have bafiled physicians not
acquainted with tho case and given rise
to many wonderful stories. Mrs. Hop
kins is between 40 and 50 years of age,
and was sent to tho almshouse about six
years ago from Rose Valley. About
three years later she suddenly lost her
speech. James W. Robinson, the county
physician, decided that tho woman was
suffering from paralysis of tho vocal
chords. 110 consulted Dr. Andrew F.
Sheldon, an old army physician and
surgeon, and decided to use an electric
battery. The current was passed through
the hack of the neck and mouth every
day. After about one month's eloctric
treatment the matron was much sur
prised upon entering the mute's room

"Hello" from Mrs. Hopkins.
TRAVFLKRS and tourists who have been
for a summer's outing among the islands
which skirt the const of Honduras, tell
marvelous stories of tho oyster groves of
that country, und the rare delicacy of the
bivalves "which grow on the trees." Tho
facts iu this "tree-oyster"cuso are those;
Tho mangrove trees grow in either fresh
or salt water swamps, and oven iu water
five or six foot deep. The limbs of tho
mangrove are drooping liko those of tho
weeping willow. In case they do not
reach the water, tho attraction of tho
moisture below causes shoots to put out
which often extend far beneath the sur
face; thus a thicket of mangroves is a
matted muss of limbs, trunks, shoots and
roots. On these limbs and shoots, deep
down under tho surface of the water,
large bunches of oysters cling, thus
forming the far-famed "Oyster Groves of
Honduras."
IN Surrey County, North Curolinn
there is a mountain whose outline dts
plays a startling likeness to tho Sphinx
of Kgypt. it is in tho northwestern part
oftho State, just east of the Blue lildgu

plains. At a distaueo of ton miles the
figure is the exact counterpart of that of
a giguutio lion, its body at right angles
to the precipitous ridge, und with head
reared aloft as if in tho act of rising.
The head and neck nre of solid rock,

the Nile Valloy by means of specimens
found in inutnmy cases from tho cata
combs and sepulchral monuments which

The Antiquity of Kid Gloves.
An obsorvant person rode up town in
an olovated car last Sunday evening, be
tween 9 and 10 o'clock, called the ut
| tentioa of a fellow passenger to the fact
that every man and women in the crowded
car, with two exceptions, wore kid gloves,
or gloves that at least seemed to bo
made of kid. The observant person had
noticed tho fact while walking slowly
from the front to the rear of the cur. He
then made u remark that was curious iu
itself and was also appropriate to Sun
day, as it contained a quotation from tho
Bible: "You will see," he said, "by look
ing into the Book of Genesis, that tho
habit of wearing kid gloves can be traced
! to oxtrome antiquity, oven as far back as
j tho age of tho partriarchs, the times of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In tho lfitli
i verse of tho 27th chapter of Genesis we
; are told how, upon one memorable oc
! oasion, Isaac's wife fixed up the clothes
:>. her son Jacob, and how, iu doing so,
'she put upon her hands tho skins of
j the kids of tho goats,' or, in other words,
; kid gloves. Isaac must have looked like
j a dude when lie walkod out wearing tho
j kids which his mother had surreptitiously
procured for him, and it was those very
kids that enabled him to deceive his aged
father and defraud his older brother."—

Tho ox, that proverbially stupid animal,
stands composedly on the track of a rail

soeiii to take a particular delight in the

Syrup"
Justice of the Peace, George Wil
kinson, of Lowville, Murray Co.,
Minn., makes a deposition concern
ing a severe cold. Listen to it. "In
the Spring of 1888, through ex
posure I contracted a very severe
cold that settled on tny lungs. This
was accompanied by excessive night
sweats. One bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup broke up the cold,
night sweats, and all and left 111 c
iu a good, healthy condition. I can
give German Syrup my most earnest
commendation." ©

Kind Sir:- 1 luul been trouble 1 for
years with that terrible disease K-ieuina
tism and last Spring, "a year ago, I was
confined to my bed and could t>c<ircehj move
or stir. Could not bear to have any one
walk across the room or make .any noise
of any ki id. Was also troubled with
' Female Weakness and was compfettly \
used up. 1 had doctored with the best ;
Physicians 1 could ;et, but grew worse I
all the time. Having read of your Hem- j
cdies I at last made up my mind to try |
them. I had very little faith for I j
thought, perhaps, they were no better |
than lots of others that I had used before 1
without any benefit. Hut thanks be to
God and also to you, I tried them and
found it to my benefit. I only took hoo
l>ottle* of your Swamp-Hoot and one of
Female Remedy and used one bottle of
your U. & O. Anointment uud was com
plete/y cured.
It is now over one year since I was
troubled and yet I have not felt a single
touch or return of the old complaints. |
I think I was better before I had tuken
one-lialf of the first bottle. I now believe
and have more faith in you than any
other doctor on earth.
If this will be of any benefit to you or
others, you can publish it and if need be
1 can prove it by more than twenty
good and reliable people in this vicinity.
God bless you and yours, and with
great respect, Mrs. Leroy G. C'oville.
