No matter how long theyinight have
had to stay there-a week, q month,
three months, a year-there they would
have stayed until that bear either came
down or fell down, and they had scat
tered him to the winds. Peccaries
never give up. When they have set
their death watch on bear or hunter
or a mountain lion. or whate yer it may
be. a strong guard is always left to see
that the victim does not escape. While
some are on guard others are of feed
ing, and their reliefs are regular and
constant. If that bear had got into the
tree there would have been no minute
of the day or night that he could not
have looked down upon group of pee
carries sitting around the tree. each
with his eyes fixed immovably upon
him. If the bear could possibly have
fastened himself in the tree he might
starve to death, with the satisfaction
of knowing that his carcass would not
fall to the ground to be torn into moth
ing by the tireless wretches below; but
rs the bear could have had no way to
secure himself a fixed tenure in the
tree it would have been only ques-
ton of time when, grown weak from
hunger. he must have lost his grip on
the branches and rewarded the patience
of the peccaries by tumbling among
them to be supinely annihilated, in
stead of getting some little satisfaction,
as he did, out of the affair by making
few of his enemies bite the dust.
Talk of the Corsican vendetta! 1t is
weak and unstable vengeance compared
to the vendetta of the white-lipped
peccaryr
physically as we'll as morally the
peccary seems to be an abnormal sort
of creature. 1t has the general appear
ance and habits of the hog, but the
hoofs and the three stomachs of the
COW. On its back it has gland which
secretes a musk, and three minutes
after peccary is killed its flesh will
be entirely impregnated with the secre-
ton. just what this composite con-
struction of the peccary is fora rem
iniscence of the hog. the COW, and the
muskrat--no one seems to have exactly
found out yet. But one thing is GER
tain-they are tough and absolutely
without fear. IN Y. Sun.

WILLIAM At HOME.

LIE His Grandfather the Young Em-
peror Loves to Live Simply.
A writer in the Berlin Tageblatt
gives some interesting particulars con-
corning the home life Of the Emperor.
William IL Like his grandfather, the
Emperor loves to live simply, and,
when his habits are not interfered
with by the presence of distinguished
guests at the castle, he rises at seven,
breakfasts at 1850 and dimes with the
Empress at the questionable hour OF
one. His favorite relaxation Is to play
with his children.
Every day he receives upon the
average about six hundred letters.
These are brought to him on q salver
as they arrive, and he opens those letters
which bear a handwriting. a coat Of
arms or postmark which is known to
him or excites his curiosity. The rest
of the correspondence goes unopened
to the Civil Cabinet, the members of
which deal with it as may be necessary.
The majority of the envelopes contain
begging letters or personal petitions.
The Emperor has only one body serv-
ant at time in attendance upon him,
and this man shaves him, takes care OF
his wardrobe. and affords him what as
sistance he requires while dressing.
Much of the Emperor's time is spent
in his private library, where he writes
much and rapidly. Every new book
and every newspaper dealing with
military or naval subjects, whether it
be in German, French. Russian or En-
glish. is seen by him, and besides being
q regular bibliomaniac 90 far as re-
CARDS books on strategy and military
history, he il an enthusiastic collector
of portraits and autographs of his more
celebrated contemporaries. He leaves
the education of his children entirely
to the direction Of the Empress. who Is
not only strict disciplinarian, but also
extremely attentive to the religious
training of the young Princes. This
she at present herself undertakes. The
children have various masters and
governuesses who visit them; but they
have as yet no military governor, or
even any personal servants or attend
ants beyond such q nursery staff a.
might be found in any well-to-do bour-
geois family in Berlin. At the outset
Of his reign the Emperor rendered him
self somewhat notorious by his readi-
ness TO speak in public. Curiously
enough he has the reputation among
his personal friends Of being ono Of
