THE TANNING OF ANIMALS.
Skin OF the Anctents In SubduinK wild
Beasts.

Skin OF the Ancients In SubduinR wild
Beasts.
There are few benefits which we owe
to our forcfathers greater than the end
less skill and patience with which they
tanned those animals which we call at
the present day domestic" It must
nave required u steady perseverance,,
extending through countless genera
tions, to have succeeded in inducing
such essentially wild and mistrustful
animals as cats to lay aside their timid-
ity and suspicion and to become the
faithful friends of man.
The people who accomplished this
great benefit for posterity had, accord
ing to the Academy, more leisure than
their restless and hard-worked descend
ants; they were, generally speaking,
members of slave states, in which the
food supply was plentiful, and in which
We may suppose that both masters and
slaves had plenty of time on their
hands. In some cases the obvious util-
ity of the animals caused them to be
tanned; in some cases this very utility
came to invest them with q special
:>Lnrity, which, as in case of the cat in
i["vpt and the COW in India, afforded
an additional guaranty for their preser-
walton.
The ancients seem to have tanned al
most all the existing animals known to
them that were worth tanning; had they
known the American bison, they might
have added him to the list of draught
animals we possess; possibly, too, the
weasel, stoat and polecat might have
been reclaimed and employed as a use
full foe to vermin. 1t is certain that
some animals which were once tanned
have been allowed to relapse into wild
state, such as hawks, monkeys and croc-
odilcs in Egypt and weasels in Greece
and Rome.

Tho Catastrophe Which Befen q Natural
list at u Wedding Ceremony.
A naturalist, who is both an ardent
student in his branch of science and
abscnt-minded to a degree which keeps
his family on the alert, recently cele-
bratcd his silver wedding, says the Buff
falo Commercial. Many guests were
invited for the occasion, and the house
va made ready for the reception of the
company. Just as the first guest ar
rived one of the daughters was SEN to
summon the father, who had not come
from his study. Care had been taken
that he should be reminded to dress in
time, SO he was all ready, and ut the
summons of the daughter he came to
the drawing-room. When they reached
the room the daughter noticed that he
carried in his hand a small wooden box,
and as he shook hands with the nearest
guest she saw him drop it. The cover
rolled of, but she gave n sigh of relief
when she saw that the box was ap-
parently empty. The naturalist, how
ever, uttered a cry of dismay, and in
Stantly went down on his hands and
knees in IN attempt to gather up some
thing. Have yon spilled anything,
1nUnerr SnG asked. 'oplllcu nnyCnlnR!
he echoed, in. evident indignation at
her calm tone. 81 have lost fifty leas
that 1 have just received from Egypt"
The effect of this Intelligence on the
family was nothing IN comparison to
the effect tho catastrophe had upon the
company before the evening was over;
and the only thing the naturalist said
to his friends in answer to their con
CALCULATIONS upon his happy married
was over, was to ask hat if they car
ried away any of his Egyptian leas
they would return the insects to him.

Conservatism OF Boys,

The natural conservatism Of boys is
well illustrated by the persistence of
customs handed down by tradition in
long established schools. especially in
Europe. At the Great English public
school Of Winchester there is a school
boy language in use which comes down
from generations of boys now u hun
dred years in their graves. 1t is a Ian
guage with name for all objects in com
mon use, and even with many verbs.
The boys language, formed by the in
version of certain syllablcs of grown
up speech, is familiar to every one who
has not forgotten that he once was a
boy. For generations no Elton boy has
buttoned the lower button Of his waist
coat, and venerable old fellows of eighty
hold to the odd custom learned ut
school,
