The continual granting of the pig
is OF interest as revealing something
of the conditions Of life of his wild
ancestors. A herd of swine scattered
in the long grass Or among the
brackens of a European forest would
soon lose sight of one another. But
the grunts of each would still adver-
tise his presence to his neighbors,
and so the individual members of
the herd would not lose touch with
the main body. Then there are
grunts and grunts. If one of my
readers will initiate the ingenious
Mr.. Garner and take a monograph
to the nearest pigsty, he might get
material to make up a book on the
language and grammar of the hog.
However thick the jungle, the wild
pig could, by taking note of the
pitch and emphasis of the grunts to
right and left of him, tell pretty
much what his hidden colleagues
we're thinking about.-North Amer
lean Review.

Shout In the Animals Ear.

Apropos of the recent remarks on
the question of assisting fallen
horses on to their legs, one of my
readers mentions the old plan of
suddenly shouting in the PROSTATE
animals ear, the shouter having
first placed himself out of reach of
the animals legs. This plan is, no
doubt, very effioacious in the case
of a quadruped that can get up and
won't, but I fear that it would be of
little service to the poor beast that
wants to get up, but can't.
A Hungarian correspondent also
tells mo that in this country drivers
assist the horse by putting under
him the rug with which they cover
him when standing still. I have seen
the Same expedient resorted to here,
but a man can often only put a rug
under a fallen horse at the risk of
getting his brains kicked out, and
when the rug is adjusted it often
gives little u no foothold on q slip
perry wood Or asphalt pavement.
With all respect, then, I still think
that civilization ought to be capable
ofsOmething better. London Truth.

AT MY COTTAGE DOOR.

Weird and gaunt are the swaying branches
OF the l~eafiess trees on the hill,
And the frost hath woven its traccry
On the sedgeS beside the rill.
Fro:l the forest have flown its songsters;

Talking and nodding as gravely
AS sages Der matters of state,

Fighting Power.

The old Constitution could, with
her best guns, at 1000 yards pierce
% inches of oak about the thickness
of her own hull at water line. The
fve-eighth inch steel covering at the
Atlanta's water line had nearly the
same resisting power as the Consti-
tution's 22 inches of oak. The At
lanta's 6 inch guns will at 1000
yards bore through a surface having
20 times the resisting power of her
own or the Constitutions hull at
water line. AT the same range her
s inch guns pierce II inches of iron.

cut" was the title of an interesting
paper read by Judge Sherman w.
Adams before the Connecticut His.
torlcal society recently. Since pre-
historic periods the mammalia of the
state have included, in addition to the
land animals, seals, whales, walrus
n other water animals, making, as
had been supposed until 40 years
ago, So genera and 252 species, but
further investigation shows 65 gen.
era. In prehistoric times proboscid-
cans of large size inhabited the
state, and fossil remains of them
have been found in New Britain,
Cheshire and StratfOrd.
The animals that never were found
in Connecticut were the bear, prairie
dog and opossum. OF the three spe-
cies OF cats one or two are now
extinct, but one species still exists,
the wildcat, n having been killed
in Litchfield within a few years that
weighed 30 pounds and five having
been killed in Essex during the year
1895. In 1894, 30 shillings a head was
offered for panthers, which killed
sheep and otherwise disturbed the
farmers. In 1647 the wolves killed
cattle to such IN extent that 10 shil-
lings per head was offered to aid in
their extinction. Many wolves were
killed in the state, and they were
hunted and killed in packs. Many
have been killed in the state since
the episode of Putnam's wolf den,
in some instances men having to
leave church to meet them in self de-
tense.
Bears Lave been extinct in the
state for some SO years, but one was
killed in the main street in Hartford
IN 1716, the occasion being a regular
bear hunt, which was much enioyed
by the people who watched it from
buildings, some of which are now
standing. The skunk still remains in
Hartford county, and is sometimes
called the "devil's child" Beavers
were so abundant in 1910 that their
skins were used for currency, and
in 1910 wharf rats we're so numerous
in Wethersfield that a reward was
offered for their destruction. Moose
were in Connecticut early in its set
Element and deer abounded.
OF aquatic animals there was q
great variety, the seals being plenti-
full, and the seal hunters who won't
after fur seals in other parts of the
world learned their trade hunting
the hair seal in our own waters. In
1647 whales and porpoises were
abundant, and a grant was given to
whalers to capture whales in tho
sound. In recent years porpoises, the
social whale or blackfish, the gram
pus, and possibly tho narwhal have
been found in tho sound. In 1910 a
party of fishermen reported having
seen an animal on the rocks off
Branford with head and breasts like
a woman, and with the lower part
shaped like a mackerel with a forked
tail. "This very much resembled the
descriptions of the mermaid" said
Judge Adams.
Notwithstanding the great rarity
of wild animals, there was none in
the state that could be domesticated
with profit or convenience to the set
tier, and his domestic animals were
all of imported stock. -Hartford
Courant.
