Bear Hunting in India. ?L "Aniens the sports of India is the cap- P & taring of bears, and to tbis end curious Q means are sometimes devised. For 3 example, four or live sturdy men ure 1 urmed. two with long spears cross a barred on the handles close to the ' sharp- two~"edged "blade, and tfro or ? three with tea foot bamboos, of which fi( the ends are smeared with _blnl Jime. w These hunters, sa\fy forth with dogs w before dawn. They pass along the base ^ of the bills with the fresh morning f( wind blowing up the plains below. n Should the hunters be lucky it is not cj long before the dogs wind the bear. ^ The dogs are slipped and disappear In jE the semldurkness. Soon their roaring ^ and growling indicate that tbey have ,(1 found the game. The hunters run up jj, to the spot where the bear Is fighting a, with the dogs. The men with the ir] limed poles poke the bear in the ribs and adroitly twist the ends in its long finir, thus holding It fast on each flank. .,t The spearmen complete the operation ^ by repeated spear thrusts. tll Modern Witches. ^ ' Centuries have passed since "witch. n| es'.* were executed in England, but in j.., very recent times they have suffered ^ physical harm.
