Early on* morning, says a contri- butor to Outing, I saw a black bear cub playing with the barbed wire of a railway fence. He Jumped through the strands of wire, apparently well pleased when the barbs scratched his thick woolly pelt. Then he twanged the taut wire as a violinist twangs the strings of his instrument and cocked his roguish head on one side, all the time swaying back and forth in a rocking, dancing movement. After perhaps five minutes of the performance a grunt of warning came from a near-by swamp. At the sound the cub froze in alert attention for a moment; then he jumped between the wires -and back again, gave one more twiicli to the new-found musical In- strument and rushed off to his mother, exactly like a mischievous boy. Bears were common when I was a boy, the writer coninuers, and one day tracks In the soil told me that a bear was responsible for the loss of our garden truck. So I lay in wait for him and saw him one evening. He was as playful as a kitten; he must have been about two years old. As soon as he got into the garden he began rushing at a cabbage head. Round the head he leaped, and boxed like a pugilist. Then when he had demolished it he went to another head and another. Sometimes he stopped and rolled. He kept up the game for some time be- fore I ended it. I ran toward him yell- lug, and the black rascal changed time Into distance at an astonishing rate.

(To be continued.) Are Sunday Schools Dying? Sunday schools are the patent of the English-speaking peoples of the world. They are found wherever British and American people live, or where their missionaries have taught, but nowhere else. It is an amusinK thing that the Sun-, day-school Union only dates back to 1803. and that the very first Sunday- school In the world was opened at Bristol less than 150 years ago. When there were no people's schools in Eng- and many an ambitious lad learned to read and write at the Sunday- school, but with the coming of the Hoard-schools, religious instruction be- came their sole purpose. About the end of last century Sun- day schools reached their high-water mark as far as attendance is concern- ed. The average attendance at the world's Sunday-schools every Sunday afternoon run Into tens of millions. Of late years there has been a steady de- j dine in the popularity of the Sunday- schoql.
