SPEARING A BEAR.
Bruins Sharp Teeth Bit Through tho
Copper sheathed Weapon.

"Twice in my chase Of bruin have
made use Of bear spear as my weap-
on of attack" writes Count Eric Won
Roson, "and may take this opportu-
nifty to maintain that the use of a
spear entails no greater cruelty than
any other mode of attack and that
every hunter should be armed with
one in reserve, since these powerful
beasts have a vitality that triumphs
over a stray bullet or more unless
wounded their retaliation is redoubta-
BILE and easily fatal. In Karclia, Fin
land, the bear Is yet regarded ms a
noXious horror. The great black haired
'slagbjorn,' or killing bear. is still ram
pant there, and couple of winters
back l was able to wreak juStitiable
vengeance on some beasts that had
killed over n score of cows and nine
horses. News had been brought me
that some of these raSCalS were hibcr-
mating on a small marsh bound island
1--WE found no difficulty in locating
their lair, and | took up my post at
the entrance to 1t, armed only with my
spear. l may explain that bear spear
consists of an ash staff some two
yards long and about a couple of
inches in diameter. There is a blade
Of steel about twelve inches in length
and the shaft is copper cascd as pre-
ventiOn against the teeth Of bruin. As
soon as my gentleman appeared tried
to stick him in the throat, but he par
ricd adroitly, and l missed, | made
another lunge and succeeded in driv-
ing my spear point through his breast.
"He started roaring furiously and
snapped at my copper cased staff, then
made an attempt to strike at my arm
with his huge fore paw. so that |
might drop my weapon. The powerful
brute hung on to my spear at the one
end, while l as grimly held on ut the
other end His bites went through the
copper plate, and he started shrcdding
the wood beneath. StPenuously l
checked his further advances, and
gradually, for his wounds began to
ltllt HIS ItSlSldllCC NIbhCANNi anu ~
dropped at last over the aperture of
his den.
81 pulled out the spear but so much
strength still remained in him that he
seized the blade and bit it with n
force that left deep indentations in the
steel. My companion then finished
him off with his own weapon. This
struggle from start to finish covered
five minutes"

Some Buddhist ceremonies present a
striking analogy to certain Christian
rites. An old missionary says: 1.-THE
very titles of their interccssions, such
as goddess of mercy holy mother
queen of heaven with an image Of
the virgin having child in her arms
holding a crescent, are all such strik-
ing condolences that the Catholic mis-
sionaries were greatly stumbled at the
rcsemblances between Chinese wor-
ship and their own when they came
over to convert the natives to Chris
tianity. "-London Standard
