A party of hunters on "the Florida
coast came suddenly upon a bear prowl

Brain would first look at an article, then
swell it, touch it with his paw and final

with his hind legs projecting in front,

crack his new acquisition with his teeth.

- He threw away a cocoanut, as being
too hard to chew, ate an orange with
great satisfaction and presently discov
ered a small cask, which he endeavored
to open. By dint of " much biting he en
larged the bungbole so that he could in
sert a paw; then he held the cask on one
arm and kept the other paw busy in
rapid journeys thence to his mouth r
, But this method of getting at. the con
tents did not satisfy, him, and presently,
standing erect on his hind feet, he in
serted his nose in the barrel, and then
his head. Now, a bear's nose is so sharp
that it goes through a small -place very
easily, but owing to the heavy folds of
skin about the neck, and the fact that
the hair and ears are set backward, ft
does not possess the same facility for
coming out. . .
Bruin was fast. He began . to pull
back, but as. he pulled the barrel came
with him, and as he rolled on his back,
pawing ineffectually at its convex sides,
it merely revolved about his. head, as if
it were on a pivot. Then, alarmed by the
sound of our. laughter, he took fright
and ran, wearing the cask on. his head
like a helmet. :

up he reared and began growling and
waving his paws, but was speedily re
leased by one of the negroes, who broke
the barrel with a blow from, his : club
and scattered the mackerel with which
it had been filled.'
The bear rewarded him for this serv
ice with a blow .of the paw which laid
im ort the sands, and in- another second
was himself stretched there by the dis
charge of two rifles. Wild Sports in

rained on one occasion for over" an hour
