The porcupine lives in a burrow and has
much of the habit of the rabbit: il is a noctur-
nal animal and sleeps most of the DAYTIME
coming forth at nightfall to seek it's food con-
sisting of roots. fruits. tender leaves and buds
II never fails 10 appreciate a settlers garden
and has made many Of our pioneers wrathy as
il IL fond of cabbages and other vegetables: thew
have a low grunting call. and this suggestion Of
the hog has caused the French to call them
"Porc-Epic which We have adopted a. porcu-
pine. the Romans ''Hystrix, the Germans 'Por-
copick. Saskatchewan" and ..Dornschwein
and ''Istrice' of the Italians.
The term of ''fretful'' which has been given
TO this animal Is not entirely due to the matter
Of temper. because the creature is rather
dull and sluggish at the best: il WILL however
when stirred up or when in the presence of
canger raise Its spines. stamp its feet on the
ground and swell until it looks quite large-as
II will act in this manner on the occasion Of any
disturbance il gives rise to that notion of fuming
and fretting - peculiar TO it.
oUILIs Used FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES
The porcupine has furnished the aborigines
Of America with their chief reliance for
tasteful and lively adornment Of their
clothes. robes and weapons. The auiIls being
split: hattened out and then dyed red, yellow
and blue. are worked into all sorts of borders
and patterns. which. wearing well and
keeping the colors bright. were the most con-

MES the charge.
The story Of the spine-tipped porcupine turn
ing on it's enemies TO throw its quilts, as 80
many darts or lances. is one Of the Oldest and
best established fctions While Aristotle
merely glanees at the legend, he does not deny
II Hist Animals, tx, 39). 1t is dwelt upon by
Pliny with all the animation which this versa
tile man Possessed Hist. Nat, viii, $50. Aelian
Orphan and Caudian have repeated the yarn
with great establishment. each doing . little
better than the other. These tales have been
solemnly repeated up to the present day, and
they have doubtless many unconscious believers.
There is this great fact in foundation for the
absurd story-that when overzealous dog
or wolf attacks the porcupine the nose and paws
Of the dog are filed with the quilts Of the por-
cupine. which. breaking of stick there with
painful and often deadly result to the attacking
beast
A dog running back bowling to its master
after such a reception with its head full Of
porcupine quilts nigh: be regarded by that
man. who. not seeing the dogs mad rush at the
pine, as having had the spines thrown at il by
the little hOg-like beast which was attacked:
but, IN fashion Of its own, the porcupine re-
pels Its enemies by simply elevating its quilts
and letting the foe attack and defeat itself
TIE TRUE AND FALSE PoRCUPINE.
The poreupine of this country (Erethizon)
anu lnat OF southern Europe anu Africa
(Hystrix) are the true porcupines, while there
are eight or ten species of another subfamily
known as tree porcupines, found throughout
the tropical parts of South America. some OF
them extending as far northward as Mexico
(Syneheresl. They are of lighter build than
our species and have prehensile tails, like pos
sums.
Our porcupine Of the United States and Cam
ada Is sluggish. stoutly built animal about two
feet in length when full grown. The spines are
almost of the thickness Of q goose quill in the
middle, supported at the base by a slender ped
icle and terminating in very sharp points, stu
ated longitudinally and winged alternately with
black and white The rings are all inch or more
broad Their usual position is lying nearly fat
on the BODY. with the points directed backward
When the animal is excited they are raised by
the action Of the simultaneous muscles almost
at right angles with the body. and then they
present a very repelling appearance. The ami
NAL has no power whatever of detaching these
quilts from its body. The short tail Is also
thickly planted with these quilts. which are cut
of. as il were. in the middle and make a loud
rusrling noise when the animal agitates that
member, since the hollow spines are open at the
end.

could br easily done by having an off,

action need only be taken in an extreme
case, but surely the chief executive
should have some means of defense
against assault in this form. President
Grant, have been told, complained Of
similar nnnoyanccs, and ] have no
doubt thnt every president Of the United
