How They Catch Bears in Russia.

A gentleman was once making in
quiries in Russia about the method OF
catching bears in that country. He
was told that to entrap them a pit was
dug several feet deep, and after over
ing it over with~turf, leaves, ETC., some
food was placed on top. The bear, il
tempted by the bait, easily fell into
the snare. But" he added, IF four
or five happen to get in together. they
all get out again" Flow is thatY'
asked the gentleman. .:'They form a
sort of ladder by stepping on each
Others shoulders, and SO make their
escape "But how does the bottom
one get Out?" "Ah, those bears. though
possessed with a mind and soul. such
as God has given US, yet car feel graft
tude, and they won't forget one who
has been the chief ean of procuring
their liberty. Scampering off, they
fetch the branch of a tree, which they
let down to their poor brother, en-
abling him speedily to join them in the
freedom which they enjoy" Sensible
bears, we should say. are a great deal
better than some people. that we hear
about, who never help anybody but
themselves.-New Orleans Times DEM

4 souirrei,s Revenge.

A little Connecticut boy had grown
very skilIfui in throwing sling shots.
He was so true Of aim that he was
sometimes tempted to use his power
unworthily. One day he discovered a
small squirrel perched OH the limb
of a tree, and without stopping to real
lie the consequences of his act. he let
ny his stone. 1t went straight to the
mark, and the poor little creature re-
eeived his deati-blow. With an heroic
effort he twitched himself into a posi-
ton right over his thoughtless mur-
derer, and, letting go Of bis dying grasp
ilpon the limb, fell upon the hand that
aad taken his life. Burying his teeth
81 the palm he bit clean through to the
lack and then dropped iifeless to tho
3round.

What We Cam DO.

On every hand one hears specific RENE
dies for existing defects. There is nothing
singular about this. At a dinner In one
of our large cities Professor Walter A.
Wyckoff. author of 'The Workers" had
spoken impressively to an exceptionally
fine audience of men on some of the lacks
of the church in reaching the aboring
man. Then a prominent business man rose.
and inquired courteously: will Professor
Wyckoff tell Us what remedy there is for
these evilss" Instantly the answer flashed
out: That's a natural question. But there
is no remedy. There are a hundred rem
edies. and their work win not be swift;
but every one of US can do something per-
sonallv to make an individual ~workingman
feel that we are brothers with him."

To Chain Himself in Bed.

For the second time within a year
John Lysing has landed in a hospital
as the result of walking in his sleep.
Early a few mornings ago he fell from
the top floor to the basement of the
building at the Hollywood Hotel in
MapleWood. Charles O'Brien, the pro-
prietor of the hotel, found him.
He was removed to the Or
ange Memorial Hospital, where
he will have to be under treat
ment for some time. Several months
ago Lysing was found by a trolley
motorman lying in the grass beside the
track. He was taken to the hospital
then. and it was later ascertained that
ne had gone to sleep in the second
story OF the building where his room
was the night before he was found. but
his movements after that were a mys-
terry. Lysing says he is going to chain
himself to his bed hereafter.

Apples and Potatoes For Colts.

1t is q good idea to teach colts to eat
apples and potatoes. Sweet apples are
excellent for them, and most colts
relish them greatly. The apples and
potatoes should be sliced before being
fed. Sometimes colts refuse to eat
them at first. and 1t requires considera-
BILE patience and ingenuity to overcome
their aversion. Colts are very fond OF
sugar. BY teaching them first to eat
sugar, then sprinkling ove the sliced
potatoes or apples, they will soon learn
to eat the latter, II they are cut fine
enough. Another method. which gen.
orally proves effective. is to cut q few
slices very fine, and put into their
grain ration. BY persevering in this,
they will soon like the taste OF pota-
toes, and then there will be no further
trouble. During the-Winter It is a good
idea to occasionally substitute q "a,
ton Of roots for that Of grain.

The cows which give large yields Of
milk are not such as might be classed
among the "easy keepers" Cows will
often eat seyenty-five pounds Of green
food in a day, as well as a ration OF
hay and grain. They have good appe-

as consuming food is concerned. but,
on the other side, they convert the
large amounts Of food into milk and
butter. giving larger profits than cows
that eat much less, and which also
produce smaller quantities Of milk.
