ANIMAL sENTRlEs.


They Are Posted by The Flock or Herd 70
Guard Against Surprise.
The too eager sportsman is often
balked of shot by the watchful senti-
mel posted to guard tho flock or the herd
against surprise. Posting sentry is
the most universal of the instincts which
use organization as means of defense.
Chamois, ibex and other mountain an
telopes always post sentinel. Always
when herd of seals is sleeping on tho
rocks there is watcher. This instinct,
The Spectator informs us, survives even
in animal captivity.
"When the prairie dogs at the ZOO
occupied small paddock, they always
kept sentinel on duty, although he
seldom uttered his warning whistle,
having learned probably that the visit
ors would not come inside the railings.
The prairie dogs at the Jardin d'Accli-
matisation of Paris observe the same
precaution. - As is we'll known, wild
geese are particularly wary in this re-
spect. Mr.. St John says that "they
seem to act in so organized and cautious
o manner when feeding or roosting as
to defy all danger. When flock Of
wild geese has fixed on field of newly
sown grain TO feed in, before alighting
they make numerous circling flights,
and the least suspicious object prevents
them from pitching
'sSupposing that all is right and they
do alight, tho whole flock for space
of minute or two remain motionless,
with erect head and neck, reconnoiter-
ing the country around. They now ap-
pear to have made up their mind that
all is safe and are contented to leave
one sentry, who either stands on some
elevated part of the field or walks slowly
with the rest--never, however, ventur-
ing to pick up single grain Of corn,
his whole energies being employed in
watching. The most curious part has tc
follow. When sentry thinks he has
performed fair share of the duty, he
gives the bird nearest him sharp peck. Z
Mr.. st. John declares that he has
seen the sentry occasionally pull out a
bunch of feathers when the first hint
was not Immediately attended to and al
the same time utter querulous cry.
Wild swans are almost as cautious al
wild geese. The signal Of danger differs
with the species of animals, but the
alarm note seems to be universally un
derstood by the sentinel's followers.
Wild geese and swans have peculiar
call, as of bugle; rabbits and sheer
stamp on the ground; wild ducks uttel
a low and cautious quack; elephants
whistle; ibex and mountain sheep whis.
tie. Rod and Gun.

A solrlEn's LEGS.
They Are Apt TO Run. but the Owners Don't
Tell the Experiences.


Tell the Experience.
People viii never tire listening to
wlr stories. =" said veteran the other
day, but you never hear Of any Of
them telling Of their running expert
ences. 1t is not because they never run,
for all Of us have been through that
school. No man ever went into battle
bat that ho was glad when it was over.
The legs OF the hrhvest get very weak
in the presence Of shot and she'll, and
bravery, after all, is only matter OF
honor-the man without honor is cow
ard The honorable man has nothing to
fear, and in battle he would suffer TO-
600 deaths rather than have comrade
say he failed to do his whole duty. But
as to running-yes, have run. Tell
you about it? Certainly.
zone afternoon while Twas in charge
of the rear guard ON a march in Vir-s
ginia number of men dropped out of
the ranks fer the purpose of hunting
'applejack. The commanding officer Of
the guard ordered me to take detaoh-
ment, return to the little town through
which we had passed half hour before
and arrest the stragglers. obeyed the
command and by fast riding soon had
the 'applejack' hunters in charge. On
the return, as it was late in the day, we
moved at leisurely pace. A half mile
from the town lane crossed the road
on which we were travelling. This lane
was over small rise of ground, SO that
one could not see very far along its
stretch.
Between where / was riding and
the mouth Of the lane noticed sns-
picious object moving along toward us
1t lodged from one corner to another of
the fence, apparently trying to conceal
itself. While wondering what the fell
low-for by this time discovered that
the object was colored man-was up
to was near enough toSspeak. Don't
stop, said the man. GO as fast as you
can. The 'Federates'll git you. Dey's
right ober de hill. Go as fas' as you
can / gave the order, and away we
went as fast as horses could carry u.s.
We had Just crossed the mouth of the
lane when the 'Federates' appeared on
the summit Of the little hill.
''With tho famous rebel yell they
came sailing down the lane, shooting
at every jump We put spurs to our
horses and presented as small target
as possible by lying low on their neclks-
It was hot race, with the chances in
favor of the Confederacy. For two
miles the 'graybacks' chased us, keep
ing up constant and rapid fire; but.
thanks to our horses, we escaped with
out the loss of q man. That was not the
only time that ran, but the story will
suffice for this time. '--Louisyille Cou-
