THE COMING HORSE.

Many natualists think that Africa was
the original country of the horse, and there
is very little doubt that it was in Northern
Africa the horse was first brought under
the subsection of man. In Africa also, the
quagga is found, and there, in like manner
it has been domesticated. The quagga has
the form, light figure, and small! head and
ears of the horse. 1t is swift and strong,
docile, and obedient, and easily domesti-
Gated. 1t is capable of every variety of
service performed by the horse, and natur-
alists say that by little care on the part
of man it might be rendered an exceeding
ly valuable beast of burden. 1t is about
four feet high at the shoulders and neck,
has slender legs and an assinine tail, 1t is
an exceedingly beautiful animal. Its neck
and fore parts are dark brown, elegantly
striped with broad black bands; it has
dark line on the back; its hider parts are
light brown, and it has white legs. Button
believed that the quagga was originally
hybrid between the horse and zebra; but,
if this be so, Its hybridity has moi interfer-
ed with its permanent powers of propaga-
ton. 1t has an advantage over the horse,
in that it's flesh is savory, though of rather
coarse fibre, which makesit all the more
attractive to the natives. The horse has
been eaten, and, at the present day, is used
for food to some extent in Paris; but horse
meat is too rank for the palate, and the
attempts of French sdrans to introduce it
among the higher classes have not been
successful. There would be no such diff
Guilty in regard to the quagga. Quaggas
are found wild in large herds on the plains
of Southern Africa. and though swift and
alert, they are not hard to catch. They
could be brought to this country by the
thousands in the course of a year or two.
Some years ago, an Englishman took
number of Quaggas to London and the
people were delighted at seeing in the
streets team of quaggas harnessed to
curricle.
