Summary[edit]

Description

CURIOUS CREATURES. 113
multitude of Bees, the Hives at home will not contain
them, the Inhabitants willingly let them fly unto hollow
Trees, made so by Nature, or by Art, that they may in-
crease there. Wherefore mortal stratagems are thus
prepared for Bears, that use to steal honey (for they
having a most weak head, as a Lion hath the strongest,
for sometimes they will be killed with a blow under their
ear) ; namely a Woodden Club set round with Iron
points is hung over the hole the Bees come forth of,
from some high bough, or otherwise ; and this, being
cast upon the head of the greedy Bear that is going
to steal the honey, kills him striving against it ; so he
loseth his life, flesh, and skin to the Master, for a little
honey. Their flesh is salted up like Hog's flesh, Stag's
flesh, Elk's, or Ranged deer's flesh, to eat in Camps,
and the Tallow of them is good to cure any wounds."
Everyone of my readers, who is not a Scotsman, will ap-
preciate the delicate musical taste of the bear, in the matter
of bagpipes Bruin cannot stand the skirling, and, in the

illustration, seems to be remonstrating with the piper.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
