ANIMAL INSANITY.
Horses Havo Been Known to Go Mad on
tho BattloAeld.

The difficulty OF the impossibility Of de-
fining insanity makes the question Of
whether or not animals become insane by
no means casy TO answer. Insanity In tho
human subject, 1t Is supposed by some,
has no analogue in the lower animals Yet
many causes will lead to tho permanent
loss of all sslf control. Cattle driven FROM
the country through tho crowded thorough
fares of town Will, under tho influence Of
this sudden change Of condition, work
themselves into state OF excitement and
fury which must ut least lie closely allied
to madness. Horses hive been known to
go mad In the midst of the bewillering
scenes of n battlefield At Balaklava an
Arabian horse turned upon its attendant,
who happened to be drawing water, seized
him in its mouth, threw him to tho ground
and thon kucclinp on him attacked him
like an Infatuated dog. Before the terror
could be subductl 1t had bitten off another
soldiers finger and seriously wounded the
army veterinarian. Another instance is
related OF II docile horse which one hot
summer suddenly went mad. Everything
that came within It's reach it seized IN its
teeth and shook like terrier would rat
1t raided the piRsties and throw the In
mates one after the other into tho mir
trampling on the bodies as they fell. Aft
onward 1t almost killed its own master
after manning for lifo the horscshocr who
was called In. This ut least must have
been n case of insanity. Tho cause OF such
insanity Is often to Ike found in congenitul
mnlformation of the bones Of tho head.
Professor Romancs even goes SO far as to
prove, by what appears to be incontcstnblc
evidence, thnt animals-cats, dogs and
monkcys-have been observed to have dclu-
sions very similar to those Of insane pep
ple.-Exchangc.

The Teachers Last Attempt to Show
Tommy on In Public.
] was at one time teacher of the
first primary grade in the public schools
at X. 1t was a rule to give short oral
lesson in physiology on Friday after
moons and to illustrate the lesson from
large chart. Among my pupils was a
small boy called Tommy, who was al
most an innocent" Teachers had
labored long and faithfully with him,
but nothing had ever seemed to inter
est him in the least. He would only
come occasionally, but noticed that
on chart day." as the children called
it, Tommy was always there. He loved
that chart and his admiration for the
hideous pictures on it knew no bounds.
One Friday our lesson concerned the
head and brain. Knowing Tommy's
love for the pictures placed him where
he could get good view of the chart
and tried long and hard to impress upon
him that his head contained his brain. I
really thought that at last had made
an impression and saw a CLEAN of in
telligence on his dull little face. At
that moment the superintendent hap
pened in to make a call, and, think

Hawk Caught BY . Fish.

The fish hawk will catch and carry
off four-pound fish without any great
difficulty, and nothing less than q
charge of shot will make him let go.
But the fish hawk sometimes gets
caught himself. An old coastman re-
lates that he once saw big hawk, with
four-foot spread of wings, that was
sailing along Monmouth beach. Sud-
denly he made dive and fixed his claws
in a fish's back 1t was a 3o-pound
striped bass, and much heavier than
the hawk could carry away. Then he
would have let go, but he could not free
his claws, nor could the fish break away.
So they struggled in the water until
both were dead.

FOX UNDER A BED.
How Reynard Surprised an Old Lady and
Party of Hunters.

How Reynard Surprised an Old Lady and
Party OF Hunters.
We had hunted up and down the rides
for the greater part of day, and final
ly, with the scent at its hottest, we
seemed to have lost the fox in the neigh
borhod of a little cottage with pigsty
tackled on It. The hounds were given
tongue around the pigsty, while its oc-
cupants protested with no less noise.
The hubbub was tremendous, and the
tumult increased tenfold when the sec
ond whip climbed the sty palings and
began to search the tenement for the
missing fox. There was no sign of him.
Still the hounds kept giving tongue
around the dwelling as if the fox were
there. The whip, after drawing the
pigsty blank, knocked at the cottage
door, and, receiving no answer, entered.
The sole inmate was bed-ridden old
woman, who protested with vehemence
equal to the pigs against this invasion
Of her privacy-adding that no fox
could possibly have come in, for the
door bad not been opened since her

morning.
The man in pink was about to retire
with apologies when a bold hound burst
in through the door, with terrible
burst of melody. He stopped to ask no
questions of the poor old lady, butwent
under the bed like tiger. More'houpds
dashed in; there was a scuffle and
worry under the bed, shrieks from the
poor old woman that lay on it, furious
deathsuotes of the hounds-and in
second or two all was over. 1t took a
deal Of silver and consolation to make
the old lady realize that the hounds had
not killed her as well as the fox. She
still protested solemnly that the fox
could not have entered the cottage be-
cause the door had been shut all the
time; but it was obvious enough, from
the sootiness of the old fellows coat,
that his way in had been not through
the door, but down the chimney. The
old lady suffered no harm; indeed, the
shock and the hubbub did her world
of good. Her grandson reported after
ward that he had never known her to be
SO well and lively for years as she was

tlcally spent In contests over points Of
this character. District Attorney Bir-.
