Hunting Bears In India.

Gen. E. F. Burton describes q novel
method Of catching bears practiced by
the native hunters of India. Four or
five sturdy men are armed, two with
long spears, cross barred on the, handles
close to the sharp two-edged blades, and
two or three with ten-foot bamboos, Of
which the ends are smeared with bird
lime. Thus equipped and leading sew.
eral powerful dogs, the hunters sally
out an hour or so before dawn, and pass
along the base of the hills with the
fresh morning wind blowing up from
the plains below. If the hunters have
luck, it is not long before the fierce
dogs wind the bear; and though dogs of
this species hunt as silent as death,
their straining on the lash informs their
masters that the shaggy game is nigh.
The dogs are slipped and disappear in
the darkness, and soon the roaring and
growing show that they have found the
game. The hunters run up to the spot
where the bear is fighting with the
dogs. The men with lined poles poke
the bear in the ribs, and adroitly twist
the ends in its long hair, thus holding it
fast on either flank, and the spearmen
complete the tragedy by repeated spear
thrusts. It is said that a party of ex-
perienced men with good dogs never
fail to secure the bear in this way

with which to fight the saloon. and
that, as established in England, it has
proved great success. 1t has checked
intemperance, been useful as q start
ing point for other reforms, and in III.
most every case has proved rcmuncr-
alive in money sense With so many
arguments in its favor, it is not strange
that the attention of social reformcrs in
this country has been drawn to it.
The failure of past attempts to cs-
tablish coffee houses has been almost
wholly due to want of business man
agement and the neglect to recognize
the difference between the social con-
ditions of this country and of England.
Those who saw the coffee house sue
ceeding abroad, and proving faithful
and efficient ally of the temperance
cause, imagined that it was only neccs-
sary to establish the same institution
here to meet with the same success.
The result has been that the coffee
houses established in this country have
been almost invariably failures, giving
