When travelling in South America, AZ
C~orrientes, up the river Uruguay, Lady
Florence Dixie, says London paper.
came across . South American jaguar
with its cub. The mother saysgely
attacked Lady Florence. who in the
most plucky manner shot her in self
defence and captured the cub. . young
male In April, 1879. Lady Florence
brought the cub to England with her,
and all last winter the jaguar. which
has grown considerably and had for its
companion q tiger cat, was out in the
open air during all the cold weather,
having only Q small kennel-house,
slightly heated by q gas-stoye, to 60
into at night. These two animals were
subsequently transferred 70 the Fishery,
Windsor. where they were allowed a
large open space with an abundance of
fresh grass and trees, which they were
very fond Of climbing. Being close to
the Thames they never omitted to have
q swim In the river Of q morning.
Their food was varied. but what they
liked best was the heads Of sheep and
bullocks. Lady Dixie's jaguar is a
beautiful specimen. SO tame and gentle
that II he were not so mischievous he
might go at large. As Lady Florence
Is about 10 leave England for Africa.
she has deposited her pets at the Zoo
logical gardens. where Mi. A. ID.
Bartlett has given the jaguar admirable
accommodation in one OF the large dens
in the new lion house.

Habitual Profanity.

One can not walk the streets, or tray
ell in the cars, or stop at public places,
and not be sadly touched by the amount
of profanity he hears. Boys hardly
old enough to talk plainly; young men
Just stepping over the threshold Of ac-
tive life; gray-haired men bending over
the grave, are all in letters to this de-
grading habit It matters little what
the place or occasion. your ears are filled
with profanity. We can understand
how a man under severe p~royocation
might give utterance to an oath. We
understand. IL we a not sympathize
with, q passionate man, beset with little
difficulties, when he snaps u q too
energetic word. But for q man in COM
mon. every day conversation. calmly.
even stupidity, TO mix in a dozen or
more profane expressions. there Is no
excuse; and yet it is the result OF q
habit which has grown upon the Amer
lean people and deserves the most se-
we're censure. No boy utters his first
oath without something Of a shudder.
No man with any regard for the pro-
prieties of society. ever swears in the
presence of ladies. 1t is more a
matter OF habit than almost any
vice to which the people are ad-'
dicted. Now, II those who have this
wretched habit will break 1t, II only for
a few days. and listen To others. they
win see how senseless, how unmanly IL
is. and how little necessity-therc is for
il. 1t is the most g~ratuitous and uncom-
pensating of all sins. II neither gives
force to a remark. dignity to speech.
nor impressiveness TO thought. And it
is a habit as easily broken a. formed.
How degrading to humanity to hear
the vile curses Of a foul-mouthed
drunkard. The two vices generally go
together, and one is as beastly and dis
gushing as the other.

A Tobacco Chewing Donkey.

lime-kiln wherein q patent process was
In operation. My friend. q resident in
. Yorkshire village. took a deep interest
IN its moral and spiritual welfare
Some few weeks previously he had in
dulged one OF his idiosyncracies in a
crusade against Tobacco" and had
quoted. as an instance Of the unnatural
ness of the acquired taste Of it, the in
stinctive repugnance manifested by the
animal kingdom to the narcotic weed.
l cannot ten what he thought when we
were shown by the men at the lime-kiln,
who happened to be his committeeman
Or members Of his society. a donkey
with an unmistakable liking for a chew.
10 put the assertion to the test. l gave
q boy a plug Of tobacco for the donkey.
Neddy Immediately took 1t and chewed
as gravely as an American Senator.
When he had done. he showed his
teeth and INDUCED in . grin as broad
as that Of any Cheshire cat. For my
own part / interpreted the grin as u
grin Of disgust. for the donkey refused
q second plug from me. but when the
boy again took q handful he pricked
up his ears, eat It from his hand. and
munched as gravcly as before.
