Bear Hunting In India.

Among the sports Of India Is the cap
turing of bears, and to this end curious
means are sometimes devised. For
example, four or Eve sturdy men are
armed, two with long spears cross
barred on the handles close to the
sharp two edged blade, and two or
three with ten foot bamboos, Of which
the ends are smeared with bird lime.
These hunters sally forth with dogs
before dawn. They pass along the base
of the hills with the fresh morning
, wind blowing up the plains below.
Should the hunters be lucky 1t Is not
long before the dogs wind the bear.
The dogs are slipped and disappear In
the semidarkness. Soon their roaring
and growing indicate that they have
found the game The hunters run up
to the spot where the bear Is fighting
with the dogs. The men with the
lined poles poke the bear In the. ribs
and adroitly twist the ends in its LONG
hair, thus holding 1t fast on each flank
The spearmen complete the operation
by repeated spear thrusts.

ue.u namss Ara CHANGED.

There was a curious transformation
OF names among the refugees VINO
flocked to England after the revoiu-
ton of the edict Of Nantes. Many OF
the Huguenots translated their names
into English. sometimes with slight
alteration of the sense. Boileau De-
came Drinkwater; Delamere, Bytheseo
Jolifemme, Prettyman; Loiseau, BIRD
Lefevre, Smith; Dubois, Wood. ana
Savage, Savage or Wild.
Some names became so corrupted as
to be unacceptable. Chapuis became
Shoppee; Beaufoy, Bofiin, and Come
Cundy. Similar havoc, though on
less extensive scale, has been played
with English names In France. Ma
zarin's successor, Colbert, descended
from an Englishman named Cuthpert
and the real name Of the famous art
ist who decorated Versailles was no
LIE Brun, but Brown. And we may
counter that with the Tolfers, VINO arr
the Taillefers Of France.

ganized the casual, unskilled and mi

called the first national hobo conven-
ton, was repudiated as a leader by
the hoboes in convention at New Or

cialism into the proceedings and was
told to get out.
Tired of How and the monotonous
fight between him and President JEFF
Davis over the question of socialism,
the hoboes broke up the convention of
the International Brotherhood Welfare
association. threw out How and his
principles and organized "hobo mass
meeting"
How declared he was not a Socialist,
but merely philosophical anarchist"
and tried to tell the delegates that Jeff
Davis was himself dyed in the wool

ed How down and stood by Davis.
