grave. A Jealous crow called out over
head TO me as bent over it searching

whitened skeleton. Some of the bones
were missing, but still enough re-
manned to tell the story. The covering
through which it peeped out at me was
partially dragged apart, probably by
some persistent bird of prey, but the
case boards, with their holes, through
which the cords were passed that held
them together, still pressed the tiny
stranger, whose little form had met the

exhibitions OF the training OF vicious
horses in the Cyclorama building, Phil

The Professor handled four horses,
which had been noted for their obstl-

he had never seen any OF them before,
and his methods were wonderfully
successful.
The fret horse was an Swear old
horse that, 1t was announced. had

the animal a complete lesson, ending
with driving 1t to a wagon In circles
about the ring. The horss was app lr-

Then he handled horse known as
Barney, tho Demon which, in q few
minutes. was put to the wagon and
driven with the S-year-old. They
were accustomed to fire crackers by
being driven over several exploding
packs.
In The end they stood quietly, while
Crackers exploded beneath them. FL

the Professor, and soon stood, without

Property Among Ants and Bees.

The collective system of property
must have lasted among ants and bees
for many thousands Of years, for, apart
from cases of Generalization such as
may, for example, be produced among
bees by giving them taste for drunk
enness, these Intelligent insects show
the most absolute Difference and devo.
ton to social property. Their print
tive selfishness has broadened out into
collective or patriotic egoism. But
these very social species, with their
more than Christian charity, have not
reached this high degree of civilization
at one bound. In the ant and bee

ages. There are still at the present
time certain species of ants ignorant Of
