How Wolves Cajole and Capture Wild Horses
Wherever several of the Urge wolves asso
ciate together for mischief, there is alw ays a
numerous train of smaller ones to follow in
the icsr, and act as auxiliaries in the woik of
destruction. Two large wolves are suiTicieni
to destroy the most powerful horse, and seldom
more than twoever begin the assault, although
ihere may be a score in the gang. It is no
less cujious than amusing to witness Ibis in
genious mode of alisck. If there is no snow,
or but lull on the ground, two wohesap -proseh
in the most playful and careising maii
ner, lying, rolling and frisking about, nnill lhe
too ciedulous and unsuspecting victim is com
pletely put off his Kuard bv omiosi'y and fa-'
miliaria. During this time" the fng, squat
ling on their hind uuarter, lo-k on st a dis
tance. '
After some time spent in tins way, the two
assailants separole, wen one approaches the
hole's head, lhe "'Her ins tan, witn a shy-

eyes steadily fixed ou the hamMtiiifs or flanks
of the horse. The critical moment ia then
watched, and the attack is simultaneous; bolt
wolves pnng st their victim at the same in
stant one to lhe throat, the other to lhe flank
and.if successful, which they generally are,
the bind one never lets go his hold till the
horse is completely disabled. Instead of
springing forward or kicking to disengage him
self, the horse turns round and round without
aitcTripfing a defence. The wolf before, then
springe behind to tsMst the other. The sin
ews are cu1, and in half the time I have been
describing it, the horse is on hia side; his
struggles are fruitless the victory is won.

IT Men who prof est to be printers, trlii
boys who wish to become woikmen, should
learn and retain the following:
"The office being uo-r swept, and the type
selected hum the dusl by the errant boy, that
ia found in the body of the rooms, should bel
given io the overseer or hia depu.y, (if ny,T
who ought lo see it immediately distributed.
and then walk around lueJiouse in order lhai
he may discover if the compositors have done
so; Dy disposing oi the portion found in each
frame, likewise that no ji be left eilher on the
frames, bulks, tallies, quad-box, or floor ;
should there be any, eveu a ting It Utter, he
should insist on its heme distributed. At
tention to this particular is ol Vast importance,
because il not only keeps the office clear of pi,
but it also prevents useful and valuable toils
from becoming buried."
Here is another poiht which we would be
pleased lo have observed. Head it, you csre
less ones! . . ...
"With foul oomposilors. ihe overseer should
invariably require a second revise, in order to
ascertain if all the eomeiions have been made
which were marked in the first, as no sort of
dependence can be placed on them."
Still another important fsct, which-we wish
to imprest upon the cnielest :
" Ao active and Co&cieftlious overseer,
should go reulmly nuns', about ever quarter
of mi hour, lo the difletent presses, and exant
ine their work, point nut defects, if any, and
glance again over the he ids, sidesnd bottoms
of Ihe pages, to sre if anytjing has been drawn
nul by the rollers, which', frequently occurs
from bad justification of 'Jie lines, and care
less and improper locking up of the form."

said again, "Listen, father, il is not like the
wind, I think," The father listened; and far,
far away, in the distance behind him, through
the clear, cold, frosty air, he bard a noise
which he loo well knew the meaning of.
He then put down ihe window,-and spoke
lo the servant: "The wolves are after us,
make haste; tell the man to drive fas'er, and
get your pistols ready." The postillion drove
faster. Bui the same mournful sound which
the child heard approached nearer. It was
quite clear that a pack of wolves ha6scented
Ihein out. The noblemou tried lo calm the
anxious tears 01 hia wile snd child.
Al last the baying of the rack was distinct

they come up lo us do you single out one and

But the taste of blood only made Ihem more
lurious, andhey were soon up wilh the car

two more fell and were d-voured. But the
carriage was speedily overtoken, and the posl
house was yet far distant.
The nobleman then ordered Ihe postillion to

horse plunged frantically into the forest, and
