FroIfcsome Young Bears

know that play is good for children and unless
times are hard and food for the babies hard to
get they spend most of their time playing with
them and evidently enjoy 1t much the chill
dren do Young bears said to play hide and
seek with their mothers, and a young polar bear
was seen chasing its mother, biting her feet play
fully and scratching her nose.
As the children get older one of their favorite
amusements is boxing They stand on their hind
legs and wrestle and pommel each other desper-
etely till the other is vanquished. all OF
which is doubt excellent for their muscles and
their digestion. They like padding in water as
well as boys and girls do. One little bear which
was raised captivity used to race round It's prs-
on taking care to go through the water pool each
time splashing with great delight And. or
course they climb trees All bears except grizzlies
do that and II is part not only OF the little bear
PLAY but OF its education also.
Young bears very carefully educated by their
mothers Their fathers don't pay any attention
to them at all, and it must be admitted that the
mother bear is not very gentle teacher She
knows that the lives of her babes depend on the
vsv they learn their lessons, and when they don't
get them TO satisfaction she cuffs them sound
ly Yet the little bears so doce and teachable
that one would not think that such severe meas
,,res would be necessary. Bears are great imita-
tors and the people who train them to amuse US
at the circus take advantage of this fact In the
woods they initiate everything their mothers do
The two things bear has to learn are how TO
get it's food and how to avoid or overcome Its en-
emies, and usually II seems 10 prefer keeping OUT
of trouble when It can. So doubt the mother
teaches the little folk how to keep away from any
animals that come into the woods with guns. how
to smell them when they are afar of, and what
kind of noise their feet make among the dry
leaves and twtgs She teaches them also how to
shake down nuts and apples from the trees how
to break into the lumbermen's camps and find the
good things that are left there, where the best
berries grow and when the salmon spawn; for
nothing that is edible comes amss to a bear The
last thing that the mother bear teaches her cubs
is how to do without her. When they arc ABOUT
grown up and the time is near for them to go our
into the world alone she gets very cross Then, II
they try to play with her they used to, they
are driven away with blows 1t seems very cruel
but bears can't talk a do and the mother has
no other way of explaining to her children that
they mustn't expect to stay with her always
The two bear cubs in the picture have taken
refuge from some enemy in tree as their mother
taught them TO do and let us hope the enemy is
not man with gun, because in that case the
tree will not help them.

AN OSTRICH FARM.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: While we
were travelling through California went to see
the famous Cawston ostrich farm We arrived at
feeding time, and the keepers give the os-
triches their regular food besides large baskets OF
oranges. 1t great fun to see them swallow
oranges. because they took two or three at time,
letting them slip down their throats.
All the ostriches separated into couples. and
had very famous names. The most beautiful of all
were President and Mrs. Mckinley, which had
taken many prizes. When it was time to go we
saw the baby ostriches which very ugly and

said: "Oh, what's the of running; let's go and

would be to take back with US" His plan was
carried out, and started toward the snake, all
armed with large sticks Joe Green was In front,
and he struck the snake with his stick. and, with
a savage hiss, the snake rose to strike him, but
before it could do OF the boys behind hit
the snake and knocked 1t down. Before 1t could
