Bruin does not retipc from the opeu till ho is compelled to do so by frost and snow. Ho lives through the summer ou berries, buds, insects of every kind, grass, mice or any other sis all animal that ho can get. I anay say, for tho ben efit of the gentlemen that publish so many terrifying bear stories in the daily newspapers, that bruin is as harmless as a cow during the summer and will take to his heels in fright on sight of a hu man beiiig. It is only when he leaves his lair too early in the spring and he is not able to find anything to eat that he will attack man, but he prefers a calf or sheep, and the farmer’s table is often short at sundown. But, as I have said, when winter overtakes him ho sets about to find a winter home. He has very likely during the summer, when jiokiug his nose into hollow trees looking for tho honey of wild bees, seen somo place that will suit him, and to this ho gcx-s straight way. The tree must be a large one, and ho will not select it unless there is a space with plenty of room, where the snow or rain cannot reach him. Thus secured, ho bundles himself together, his head on his paws, closes his eyes, and remains ia this posture till “those blind motions of the spring” tell that ‘ ‘the year has turned. ” Then ho drags himself out and begins his struggle for existence. Sometimes, however, when lying in this stupor, loud sounds startle him, and his tree castle shakes. This is when the lumber mop have found him and are as- f sailing the tree with their axes. He sel- I dom escapes, and if he docs he willsure- ■ \Jy die in tho snowy forest unless he can find another home.—Our Animal Friends.
