The Bear He Missed.

Telling in his book Of some hunting
experiences near the north pole, Cap
tain Sverdfup wrote: "Walruses and
seals were harpooned and shot and
also the large arctic hare, which seems
to have contracted the peculiar habit
Of frequently running long distances
ON its hind legs. Hunting was not al
ways easy, the atmosphere playing
strange tricks with the eyesight, as
witness the following account of the
stalking of bear: With the utmost
caution, with his gun ready and his
eye fixed inexorably on the bear, Serlei
advanced to the spot. Meanwhile the
bear sat wagging its head, but keep
ing good lookout, it appeared, for
when Sehlei had come some twenty
steps nearer it rose and flew away. 1t
flew as well IS any bird, which, after
all, was not remarkable, for 1t was a
glaucous gull"

FIGHT SHY or A RAT.
Let the Rodent Escape Rather Than
Run the Risk of Bite.


"Neyer attack rat in closed
ROOM" says an old warehouseman who
has had world of experience in deal
ing with rodents. open a door or
window and give it chance to get
away. Even if you've got dog to
help you, you may be bitten If you
don't. Rat bites are very dangerous.
A rat eats all sorts of carrion and
filth and then puts his dirty whiskers
into anything else he wants to sample
Here's another idiosyncrasy of
rats, They logically carry out the
principle Of the survival Of the iittest.
And they are not merely sutfragettes
or suffragists, but the females abso-
lutely boss the rat tribe. The slight
est token of physical weakness in the
baby rat is the signal for death at the
teeth of its mother. About five rats
survive from nest of ten or fifteen.
The male rat will fight to save the
little ones, but is invariably driven OFF
by the ferocity of the mother. You
never saw rat yet that wasn't q per-
feet specimen. II the mothers did not
have this trait the earth would be
overrun with rats.
RATS live and travel in colonies.
The head of the group is always an old
female rat When / start to clean up

others disappear."-New York Times.
