make the surface quite smooth and a

The plumage of the hairy wood
pecker is well adapted to his hole
breeding habits. If his feathers were
firm and round-ended, such as We see
in common fowls, they would be con-
stantly worn and frayed from passing
in and out of the small opening of the
nest. Nature has given him coat per-
fectly suited for his habits. They are
very loose, hairy-looking feathers; in
deed, they so much resemble hair at the
first glance that they have given the
bird his name-hairy woodpecker.
This same popularity of loose, hairy
feathering is seen in the titmice, the
chicadees and other birds which breed
in hoses in trees Washington Star.

MISTAKES EASY TO MAKE.
Early Experiences in Bad
Smash-Up on the Road.

"It is a pretty easy thing to make
a mistake in railroading," said an old
engineer as he thought of the recent
wrecks on the Wabash and Iron
Mountain roads in which so many
lives were lost, states the Mexican
Herald. "As 1 understand it, those
wrecks were caused by defective or
ders. The train dispatcher sent out
his orders directing one train to pass
the other at a certain station. The
operator did not copy the order on
his manifold book, as he should have
done. Instead, he wrote it on a slip
of paper and handed it to the en-
gineer. But in making the copy
the operator made a mistake and
changed the name of the station.
The collision was the only natural
result.

HOW BRUIN is TRAPPED.
His Appetite for Honey and Cheese
Usually Leads Him to Captivity
and Death.

Of all the wild tangles of New
Brunswick there is possibly no re-
gion so inaccessible as the one in
which the North Pole branch takes
it's course. This stream, smooth and
placid, has its banks covered by bal
sans. There the beaver has his
playground, and in the alder swales
the bear rolls in wet places, while to
escape the flies the moose stands in
the water up to his ears, silently
chewing river grass. Bears are the
deadly enemies of the moose, the
flesh of whose young they are fond
of. In the trapping of bears, which
is an arduous task, the bones of a
moose make excellent bait. The
setting of trap requires much skill
and knowledge of bear habits. In
warm weather they haunt the green
woods, and go very often to some
stream for drink. Therefore a
bunch of green timber close by the
water, in the midst of burnt woods
or barrens, is an ideal bear-set. One
trap in such place is sufficient.
A bear trap has jaws a foot wide,
and weighs ten or twenty pounds.
The steel springs cannot be pressed
down by the weight of man, but
are held down by some sort of a
lever. The place selected for trap
is where three or four small trees
grow close together, and these sur
rounded with brush on three sides.
The New Brunswick wood contains
much old and prickly brush, excel
lent i1aunts for bruin. The trap is
covered with moss, and slender
sticks are stuck in the ground in
such way that the bear, in avoid
ing them, will put one foot on the
pan of the trap. A mixture OF

cheese and honey tempts all bears.
However, an old moccasin, piece OF
birch bark twisted up, or bit of raw
hide, will attract also. The bear
comes along poking his nose into
every corner, and soon falls victim
to his necessities. The trap is fast
ened to a light clog which catches
into bushes and roots, greatly ag-
gravating the bear
Bruin has q peculiar fashion of
standing on his hind legs and scrap
ing the bark off trees as high as he
can reach. Many trees along the
North Pole branch bear these mark
ings. The sign signifies that some
bears are old settlers there. Some
of the bites are higher than mans
head. often for many days bears
do not come near the traps. When
the moose calves have grown large
enough to run fast old bruin seeks
other eating. The burning feathers
of a loon will draw him a long dis
lance. Being caught in the trap he
drags it along until becoming en-
tangled in a snarl of blow-downs,
lie fights and bowls for hours. Some
times he is found lying fiat on his
back, wailing in despair. but on APP
proach shows his teeth in a nasty
way. There is a great difference
in the way bears act when caught
in the trap. Some become furious,
but all take the fatal blow quietly,
resigning themselves in manner
which often appeals to the hunters
pathies.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

. No matter how much snow covers the
food of other birds, his larder, snug in
dead and dying timber, is always ready
for his sharp bill. At this season he is
eonstantly seen about houses in the
country, especially if there are red
tedars in the yard. I have often seen
these birds busy eating the beautiful
dark berries and hopping about on the
ground for fallen ones. Now they will

Ups once or twice he turns his head
10 one side and places it close to the
wood to listen for any insects which
the noise has frightened. If he de-

wood he braces himself with his stiff

good, but during the winter their bene-

Every insect during the winter months
means that many less broods for other

How wonderfully nature has bal

etable! The woodpeckers, with heavy
bills and equally heavy heads, cut into
dead and dying timber and hold the
oorers and other enemies of forest
trees in check. The nuthatches and
creepers, with long, slender, probelike
oils, ferret out all insects, their larvae
and eggs, which Turk in the crevices of
The bark. The warblers and vireos re-
turn from the south as soon as the
buds begin to swell and carefully rid
them of hidden enemies. Thus we see
now the whole tree is tended by ma
lures physicians. The small warblers
and vireos might be called the trees
nurses; and when heroic measures are
necessary the surgeons, the wood
peckers, come in.
