Sclf-Denial.

While in India, Captain Narryat, tho
novelist, was intensely interested in tho
devotion and self denial Of a huge ele-
phant. The beast was defending him
self from swarns Of mosquitoes, using
O large branch to keep them from tho
crannies and cracks OF his thick hide.
His Prosecutors were still annoying
him greatly, as was evident from his
motions, when his keeper appeared with
little child. This he laid down before
the animal, saying, Watch it, and
walked away.
The elephant Immediately broke OF a
small whisk from the large bough. and
instead Of tanning himself, directed his
attention in driving away every mos
quito from the infant. He continued
this until the keeper returned, two hours
after. thus setting, though a brute, an
example Of devotion which few men
would have initiated

An Incident of Spanish Bull.Fight

\ few years ago the inhabitants of Sc
willie read with surprise, in the advertise
ment OF an approaching bull-iight, this
unusual notice:
"Whcn the third bull shall have at
tackled the picadcrs and received three
pairs of bandcrillaS a young peasant, by
whom it has been brought up, will appear
in thc ring lie will approach the bull,
clrrss il, and, after removing the ban
dcrila9, one after another, will lie down
between lis horuS.
The announcement OF so singular feat
attracted an immense crowd to the am
phitheater The third bull appeared, an
animal with splendid horns and very
brave, it slew -four horses, received the
bandcrilas and became furious. Then,
contrary to custom, all the tortcroS re-
tired from the ring leaving the bull
stamping and shaking the bloody darts
which hung from his neck
All at once u long whistle was heard.
The bull paused and listened. II vas
repeated. The bull approached the bar
ricr, and a young man leaped into the
ring, calling the bull by name. "Mos-
quito" The animal knew its master
came to caress him and was appeased
The peasant gave it his hand to hex, and
with the other began TO scratch il behind
the ears-an operation which seemed to
afford the brute much pleasure. lie then
gently removed the banderillas which
annoyed the neck of Mosquito, made it
90 down on its knees, and placed his
head between its horns. The grateful
bull seemed to listen with pleasure to a
pastoral melody sung by its master.
The admiration of the multitude, hith-
erto suppressed by surprise, burst forth
with Andalusian violence and shook the
building. Hearing this frenZicd applause,
the bull, till then under II charm, ap.
r4ared to wake and return 10 reality.
1t suddenly rose, believing, and the peas
ant tric1 to escape, But it was too late.
The animal, rs though furious at being
betrayed, tossed the young man into the
air, received him again on its horns,
gored him, tramped on him and crushed
him 10 pieces, in spite of the efforts Of
the torcros. The performance was sus-
pended phenomenon in Spaiu-and
the horriiied public quilted the circus in
silence.

MANAGING Uneasy COWS.

To sit down to milk COW that is dis
posed 10 kick, or is SO uneasy aS 20 be
continually stepping is an annoyance
that leads 10 "a very strong desire 10 use
"cuSS words if not "hard knocks" and
it is the development OF this desire on
the part of rough helper, that frequently
ruins An otherwise vauab." animal, SAYS
W. II. Foreman, in the .SDYthslu Lire
.Stock JoprHdi. Any habit OF this kind is
injurious in more ways than one; it
makes an undesirable auimal, and The
constant interruption in the milking
tends to diminish the flow of milk. We
recently purchased ~ fine COW that was
soon 10 come in, NJ u surprisingly low
price, at calying time we thought we
discovered the reason upon attempting
TO milk, the COW had formed the habit
of lifting her foot so constantly and so
close 10 the pail that it rendered milking
almost impossible. In devising ways
and means for prevention We took n ring
and staple and attached it to the sill in
the barn directly back of where the COW
Wa, sanctioned; we then took strap
with buckles and buckled around the
right hind leg just above the ictlock and
setting the foot back, hitched the other
snd to the ring. We then sat down and
went to milking, the cow attempted to
take her foot up over the pail but every
time 1t came back in its place, and our
milking continued in full confidence OF
safety. After repeated trials the cow
gave up for few minutes, and then
would try again with the same result. As
soon MS we finished milking, the COW was
released. We continued putting ON the
harness, and for some time she would try
TO continue the old trick, but finding it
was az no avail she soon tired of it.
After pursuing this treatment for about
three weeks we omitted the placing of
the strap and there was not foot raised.
The cure was eifectual; no harsh words
were employed, but the animal soon dis.
covered that she was controlled by q
power superior to her own, and very
gracefully yielded to its influence.
1t might be somewhat different in tn,
case OF an absolutely vicious and ugly
kicking COW, and yet we have no doubt
that the above treatment will subdu,
them, although the attaching of the strap
Would be attended with some danger.

A Hogs Affection for a Hen.

The large, blooded Poland China boar
Rob Roy H., owned in the town of
Wayne, n. Y, says a New York Sun cor
respondent, has more than local repu-
tation, not only for his breeding. but for
the fierceness of his nature. lie is of
enormous size. With the exception of
his owner, he will permit no one to come
near him, and the only other living thing
on the farm that he ever had any friend
ship for WAS dominick hen, which had
besl mis- almost inseparable companion
and attendant for more than year. The
big hog has the run of half an acre of
ground, and he has rooted that over and
over again, for apparently no other pur-
pose than TO provide the hen with worms
aud other insects, without her having to
take the trouble to scratch for them her
self
The hog and the hen could be seen any
day in good weather making the rounds
of the enclosure, the hog turning up the
ground with his grcas snout, aud the hen
standing ready to seize the worm or bug
the roofing revealed The hJg would

turned dirt for insects, the old fellow
grunting contcntedly the while, and APP
parently having no object in life but TO
root for the hen. When sho had gone
through one roofing OF soil the boar
would plow up another one, and keep on
until the hens appetite was satisfied.
Then Rob Roy III. would stretch himself
in the sun for II nap, and the hen would
either waiow in the dust 10y his side. or
perch on his body somewhere and wait
FOR her big admirer to wake up.
The hen always took her place on the
edge Of the boar's swil trough when his
feed was poured in, and picked out such
morscls as his noSng about the trough
brought to the surface.
\ week ago another pig was turned
into Rob Roy's enclosure, and the big
hog tolerated her presence. She fed at
the same trough with him, and all went
well until Saturday. The domin.ck hen
pcrched herself as usual on the edge Of
the trough at feed time. The new pig
did not approve of this, and with quick
and savage movement, caught the hen 10y
the neck and bit it in two before she
could squawk. For moment Rob Roy
turned his head and gazed NJ the fiuttcr-
ing and prouctting Of the bleeding and
headlcss body OF his friend Then hc made
one rush upon the dominick's slayer, and
before hi, owner, who had been witness
of the hens taking of, could interfere,
Rob Roy had torn the other pig 50 fright.
fully with his long tusks that she died in
few minutes.
