New York for chloroforming and rob-

rage, of course. A man who refuses
to sleep soundly enough to permit his

The rabbit industry in Australia
is something remarkable. Some idea
of the magnitude Of the trade in
Victoria alone may be. gathered from
the fact that month ago the cold
storage in Melbourne was completely
blocked. Although $4,000 had just
been shipped in two steamers for Eng
land there remained in storage 10000
rabbits, and the number was being
added to at the rate of $4,000 daily.

Iy enough. the early piety instilled IL
him was not lasting; he had slipped

In describing the manner of taking
some OF the fur-bearing animals Of
the Hudson Bay territory, the bear
comes first by its coat being earliest
prime Of all other animals Of the north
country.
The Indians. who, since the finishing
OF their last years hunt In June have
become tired Of fish diet, are anxious
ly looking forward to the 25th Of Sep
TENDER. On aud after this date the bear
skins have q market value with the
company. and the Indians go into the
berry patches and swamps In quest OF
brnin, who has for the past six weeks
been fattening undisturbed.
Considerable bravery Is shown by the
Indian In hunting these strong and fe-
rocious animals at this time of year.
Few OF them have other than q SINGLE
barrel. Misunderstanding gun, and II they
miss q fatal spot when firing, he re-
suit is to them serious, IL not death.
] cannot do better In these series Of
hunting stories than to follow the foot
steps OF Wa-Sa-Kejic, who was one of
our most successful all-around hunters.
He had liking Cor the whites in gen.
eral and. from his kindness, for me in
particular. At any time when II was
convenient for me to leave the post he
welcomed my company on his shooting
and trapping tours. Still, hunting
the bear In fat and dry berry patch
requires the greatest care and precau-
ton to make 1t day Of profit. wa-Sa-
Ketic lands from his canoe on the lee
ward side OF the patch he Is going to
reconnoitre and ascends a large noun
lain, whose wooded southern side runs
down TO the river shore; from the top
OF this he scans the burned lands be-
Meath him with great minuteness for
several seconds. At last his face lights
up with satisfaction, for his eye rests
on q large black bear feeding to the
windward Of a elump Of alders. Be
fore starting to stalk the game, he
notes the direction of the wind. the
lay OF the country and the number Of
points Of coneealments between him
and his quarry. All these essentials
mentally impressed on his memory, he
loads his gun carefully and descends
the mountain. Wa-Sa-Kejic makes his
way swiftly from the base for about
q quarter Of mile; after that he goes
with greater care. At last there is on
ly one intervening stack Of willows be-
tween him and the bear. From my
vantage point Of view I notice all his
movements and also that of the bear,
which is lazily feeding on the ripe, fun
berries.
At the extreme left-hand point Of the
clump stands an immense rock,

1 stand on the low banks and with Q
dash Of his fore paw land out one OF
two fish at a stroke.
The Indian hunter knows tnese
creeks and rivers. and 1t Is on their
banks he sets his traps with son'e
! tempting bait such as musquash meal
or corn with maple syrup mixed TO-
gether, neither Of which is 1t possible
for Mr.. Pear to pass without making
try for.
Wooden traps, or deadfalls, are MADE
In the same shape as the well-known
ngure-of-four trap for marten and oth-
er small animals. only many times larg-
er, and the crushing weight or load a.
much as two strong men could lit.
The bait Is tied on to loop Of twist
ed roots. and the latter Is caught over
the wooden trigger that supports the
loaded cross-bar, and then on the peg
at back Of the trap. The bear. after
drawing in strong whiffs Of the tempt
ing morsel from the entrance, ventures
boldly In. The depth Of the trap Is
almost equal to the length Of his body,
so when he tugs at the bait the middle
Of his body is directly under the cross
bar. The loop slips on the peg and the
weight of the logs and stones crash
down on poor old Mus-Kwa.
The Indian prefers using the steel
trap, as It Is more certain, and the bear
keeping alive for several days, the
hunter Is not required to visit his traps
so often.
During the hot spring days q bear IN
deadfall very soon becomes fiy-blown
and rotten, and the meat useless, and
very frequently the skin also.
II is in the spring Of the year Wa
Sa-Kejic takes his twenty-pound new
house trap and makes his way to q
small connecting stream between two
lakes. II is the spawning ground of
carp. Here along the bank Is a we'll
trodden bear path. Fishing bears have
frequented this trail for years. Here
he builds an obstruction on two sides
out from the trunk Of a large spruce
for a distance of four feet; the opening
In front is about twenty inches wide.
A tempting bait is placed on a forked
stick at the back Of the Enclosure near
the base Of the tree. He next cuts a
sound, young birch seven or eight feet
long. diameter at small end FIVE inches,
and six or seven at the thickest end.
The weight Of such a stick in the sap
is about seventy-five pounds. About
one-third up this drag the ring OF the
chain is firmly wedged. and the i'm
mense jaws Of the trap is opened. A
hollow in the entrance Of the house is
made. so that when the trap Is placed
the hole is nearly on a level with the
ground. A bent root of small tree or
