Bruin in Spring.

Amy one would naturally suppose
said a Pike County 1Lan, that after
lying holed up sound asleep and with
months, as they certainly have done
this winter, bears would come out in
the spring lean and scraggly, but that
is just contrary to the facts in the
case.
''The bear when he seeks winter
quarters is perhaps the latest thing
on four legs He doesn't swell up with
fat, like pig, but seems to go to fat
all over.
when he starts in to fatten up for
his winter retirement bear can eat a
bushel of chestnuts at time with
ease. AS he gets fat his stomach gets
smaller and smaller, until, when he is
in proper condition for wintering over,
it hasn't capacity enough to hold a
double handful of food
This fat sticks right by the bear
all winter and keeps him warm. If
you are after bear for his grease, you
kill your game either just before he
goes into his hole in the fall or right
after he comes out in the spring.
I'm a week after a bear comes out he
will be as lean as "a raZor-back hog
al.nough he has been eating every
thing eatable he could lay his paws on
since he woke up, and that's a good
deal. A bear, after thus losing his
flesh in the spring will keep lean until
he begins to fatten up again for the
winter, and then he rolls up the fat as
before.
ct seems odd that bear should
keep fat for months without having
eaten morsel of anything, and lose
his fiesh-or grease, rather-as soon as
he begins to take in food but that's
the way the bear is made, and | don't
see how we are going to help 1t.
''And, by the way, the bears are out
in Pike County. Three are reported
as having been killed already in the
region south of the High Knob, and
that without taking into account the
two rat-like cubs that were with one
of the bears killed, and starved to
death for want of her. New York

Japanese Dwarf Trees.

once saw in Japan some of the
most remarkable trees that ever grew
lhey were hundreds of years old and
not 100 inches high. The most marvel
lous collection was in Count Okumas
garden near Tokyo. Here were pine
trees that started to grow in the 18th
century, that at the dawn of the goth
were not too late to be carried in one
hand, pot and all. Others, whose seed
was planted about the time when Co.
lumbus sailed for America, were al
ready outstripped by saplings planted
the year before the last
In another place was grove of Lili-
putian plum trees, gnarled and knotted
ana twisted by centuries of wind and
weather, that were none of them too
large to grace a dinner table, as they
OFTEN did when in full bloom. More
marvellous still, there were other lit
tie trees, planted before most of my
readers were born, say in the early
COS, that were still thriving Git is
to much to say "growing') in tea
cup, while others planted before
Cleveland's first term in office had not
outgrown ,lady's thimble
The Japanese are past masters of
the art of dwarfing trees. They nip off
the trees roots, and pinch it's limbs,
and starve it with little soil, and let
it go thirsty and dry, but at the same
time keep the breath of life in it,
until it becomes the ver 2st travesty
of a tree, manikin vegetable with
the wrinkled face of an old man on
the legs of a little boy. Infinite pa
thence and skill and time unstinted
must have been given thus to stint and
dwarf those grotesque growths.-

or World.

Movino Pictures Amazed Indians.

Burton Holmes, the lecturer, visited
the home of the Moki Indians in Ari-
IONA to witness the weird snake dance
which those savages have practiced at
intervals for centuries While near
the home of the Monks he set up his
moving picture machine and made a
film showing Apache Indians and cow
boys in horse races and in feats of
daring while on horseback.
The film was developed and proved
to be excellent. A year later Mr.
Holmes visited the same region again.
and one night gave an exhibition for
the benefit of the natives.
