When he was only years old Prince Haru

Il fore the officer could reach the offender,

with his own hand, Young America never
stopped to think who the sggressor was, but
struck back, and in few minutes the future
emperor and one Of our future presidents had
clinched and were slapping and pounding
each other In the most democratic manner.
The Mortified mobiles Of the princes suite and
the frightened parents Of the young Ameri-
can separated them, and led them apart,

doing anything to him" persisted the young
American, whose parents were almost expect

suite tightening his little sword belt and
strutting up and down like a young game

Professor Tronchet then made another

on the shin or swinging his right fist for
knockout, he swung his right foot directly
for his opponents chin, but it was cleyeriy

Immediately upon taking their positions for
the next bout Tronchet made change OF

by the sole Of Tronchet's Shoe being planted
squarely on his throat.
After sparring for moment Tronchet
sprang forward quick as a fash, and throw

edged that he had been touched by sitting
down suddenly and forcibly. Upon recover

So much praise is accorded to the intelli.
gence of the higher dumb animals that We
sometimes forget the large number of unpre-
tending little creatures who are willing to DO
loving and companionable, II We viii but
encourage them. A writer in Macmillan's
Magazine thus describes q duck, which evil
IDENTIFY possessed power of thought and feel
ing quite equal to that of some dogs;
This was not domestic duck but a teal,
which my friend brought down with his gun,
slightly wounded. Out Of compassion he tied
it up in a handkerchief and carried it home.
The captive soon grew accustomed to its
new mode of existence, and strongly attached
to all the members of the family, seeking for
them when it felt lonely, and always exhibit
ing anger and distress in the presence Of
strangers.
When a cat or dog was fondled In its pres
enoe, 1t would run to the spot, administer q
few vindictive blows to the animal with Its
soft bill, and solicit caress for itself. The
most curious thing in its bis history was that
it took a special liking to its captor, and sin.
gled him out to receive its most marked at
tentions.
When he went away TO business in the
morning, tho teal would accompany him to
the street door to see him oif, then return
contentedly to tho yard; and in the after
noon it would again repair to the door al
ways left open, and, standing composedly on
the middle Of the step, await its masters re-
turn, for this teal took account of time
IL, while it stood there watching the road,
a stranger came in, it would open its beak,
hiss and strike at his legs showing as much
suspicion and sense Of proprietorship as dog
does when it barks and snaps at a visitor.
Its owners arrival was greeted with dem,
onstrations Of affection and Joy. 1t would
follow him into the house, and spend an hour
or two very happily, if allowed to sit 9n Ais
feet, or nestle against them on the hearth

How to Coax Them.

Every blow during the whole exhibition
was delivered with the greatest precision,

in gauging the distance Of an opponent wGs
remarkable, even when kicking backward.
