Bear Hunting n 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 i've 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 .tlle!base
Of the hills with the fresh morning
wind blowing up the plains below.
SHOULD the hunters be lucky it 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 it's long
hair, thus holding it fast on each flank.
The sspearmen complete the operation
by repeated spear thrusts.

STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD new YORK

Her funds were soon exhausted, her
shoes worn out and her feet so sore
that she could barely walk. Yet, not
withstanding her efforts she was un-
able to find work. For several weeks
she subsisted upon scraps Of food
which she picked out of garbage cans
and, being no longer able to pay for
a room, she spent the nights in the
Earks. The situation seemed to her
so hopeless that, when she was lucky
enough the other day to find a silver
quarter, she invested part of the
none in a few bichloride of mercury
tablets, using the rest to pay her
fare to Jersey City to answer an ad-
vertisement for help. Failing to OBJ
tain the position advertised, because
she came too late, the girl returned
TO New York, made her way to Stuy-
vesant park and there took two of the
b%ichloride of mercury tablets. Some
visitor of the park who had noticed
the detected look upon the girls fea-
lures and who had observed her az
tons called a policeman, who sent
in a call for an ambulance. while
waiting for the conveyance, the po-
liceman forced the girl to swallow
the whites of two eggs"and It was
due to his prompt action that the lire
OF the girl was saved. The girl will
be held at Eellevue until she has COM
pletely recovered and then an effort
will be made to obtain work for her

: New York, Sept. 1.-The latest

sational flight from Matteawan, fol-
lowed by his arrest upon Canadian
soil, has been the cause OF a perfect

The history Of Elizabeth Heath, a
California girl, who tried to commit
suicide by poisoning the other day in
Stuyvesant park in this city, should
be a warning to other girls who may
be filled with the desire to come to
New York to find work. The girl
had lost her parents and being with
out friends or relatives, decided to
70 to New York where she expected
to find work. She reached the city
about a month ago and rented a small
furnished room in West Twelfth
street. Day after day she wandered
through the city in search of work.

all other states of the Union in the
production of marble, granite, and as
bestos; and ranks second in it's output
of slate, tale, and soapstone. This will
be followed by record of industrial
establishments and industrial POSSIBLE
tiles in every town and city of the state
where the required information can be
obtained. The water resources and pos
sibilities of development of the same in

The interstate commerce law, passed
through the influence of the cruelty to
animals agitation, had its effect in Bur-
lington when a carload of horses was
unloaded, watered, and fed and given a
five hours rest in Johnson's stables.
The law provides that shipment of
livestock which has been on the road
"a hours shall be taken out, watered,
and fed. If request is made, IL addi-
tional hours may be granted between
stops. The horses came from the West
and were bound for Rutland. The SO
hours were up, however, even though the
ing was necessary, even though the
horses were only a short distance from
the end of the journey.
