Bear Yarn Mittens.

A Maine hunter and guide has a pair of mittens which mystify every one examining them. Last spring the hunter caught a yearling bear in a trap, aud as the fur was too short and downy to sell a* fur he shaved the akin, and his mother, a lady past 70 vegrs, carded the fur, spun It Into yarn and then knitted the mittens.Fur News.
