Wolf-Catching in Scandinavia.

[Chicago Journal]

     Capt. Lloyd has been traveling in Scandinavia, where wolves are abundant. The animals are very fond of pork, and his plan of enticing them in order to shoot them was th keep a live pig in his sledge, and to pinch him in the night-time. In order further to deceive the wolves, he fastened a bundle of straw, covered with a black sheep-skin, to a rope fifty feet long and dangled it when the sledge was in motion. The wolves heard the pig squeak, and, thinking the bundle was a pig, came near enough to be picked off with a rifle.
