Bear Hunting.

: The following singular means of capturing
and killing the bear is said to be frequently
practiced by the Russian peasants, who can
not easily procure firearms. AS is well known,
this animal has fondness for honey. and will
track his way from a great distance to where
the wild bees have filed some hollow tree
Their stings cannot hurt him, and the honey
is entirely at his mercy.
In a forest known to contain bears, the
hunters examine all the hollow trees till they
discover a wild beehive A branch of the
tree is then chosen directly above the hole if
there is no such branch, a stout peg is driven
into the trunk TO this peg a stout cord is
fastened, and to the end Of the cord heavy
stone or q cannon ball is suspended. at about
half u foot from the ground; the bear in his
researches, comes upon the deposit of honey
The pcndulous weight obstructs and incom-
modes him good deal. lie is an irritable
brutc--in such cases one of the most passion
ate as well us the most stupid of any i'll the
forest
lie begins by showing the weight aside, but
it presses against his head, and he gives it Il
slight knock to free himself of the inconvcll-
icnce. 1t rccOils a moment and giTcs him a
tap on the ear.
Ills temper is reused, and he again pushes
OH tnc nlfu anu ncaNN mass, DUt more NlOlcnt-
ly; he again gets rather a severe blow on the
skull.
lie now becomes furious. and with power
full blow Of his paw, sends the weight swinging
away.
The pendulum cannot be the first to get
tired of this game and it is game in which
the blows are felt On one side exclusively.
The bear alone suffers /; and the point is that
he suffers as much by the stroke he gives as by
! those he gets. lie takes double punishment
! Ills retaliatOns are all against him and for
every push which makes his skull ache, he re
ccives an immediate equivalent, which makes
! it ache again.
/ AT last his rage is unbouitlcI he hugs the
block he strikes it he ltcs it but when
ever he would thrust his head into the hive
back on his ear falls the weight, against which
neither his hug nor the blows Of his paw arc Of
any avail.
The brute is made maddcncd. Tie faces his
strange and pcrtinacious tOrmentor, and once
more makes it rebound from his skull. But
back again it swings like IL curse, which rccoils
! upon the head from which it started. lie falls
exhausted under these reiterated blows one
more violent than another and if he be not
| dead, the hunters. who have watched the sin
gular contest from their hiding places, dispatcl
him.
