The existence Of the hare is per-
petual series of anxieties and worries
-machinations and stratagems. Its
eyes, which are so placed that it cnn
see, without moving its head, what is
going on in its rear as well as front,
are never entirely closed even IN
slec", while its speed of foot. con-
sid"i,u, 8 size, surpasses that Of all
other animals. It's intelligent efforts
to escape its enemies are worthy of all
praisr. while its habits in this respect
vary With every disposition of soil and
climate. The least accident in the
surfar" of the earth, fresh-dug pit,
landslide, tree felled by an AK or the
storm, are all observed by the hare,
and suggest new means Of conceal
mcnt. 1t clears its accustomed road
to its lair of every rough blade of
grass that would tear off its fur and
thus betray its hannts, often making
this excess of caution its ruin, for the
schoolboy and the poacher spread their
treacherous snnres in the habitual
passage, and the fox and weasel watch
it to secure their prey. Detroit Free

THE HARE AND THE RABBIT.

The hare and the rabbit SO much
resemble each other in their outward
appearance that they nre often con-
founded together even by close OBJ
servers; they differ, however, very
widely in their individual characteris-
tics. The hare is timid, lonely
creature, and will sit for hours with
out moving crouched in what is termed
it's ''form. The rabbit, on the con-
trary, is lively and frolicsome. delight
ing to pop out of its burrow into day
light, bask for few moments in the
clear sunshine, and then, as If in very
Joy, throw its heels into the air and
suddenly sink into the ground and out
of sight.
The hare, when pursued, trusts to
his speed for safety the rabbit rushes
into his burrow as the only secure
place of refuge. The nest of the hare
is of the rudest construction. A few
sticks and dried leaves spread upon
the cold ground being all that is
deemed necessary. Tue rabbit burrows
in the earth, its nest is lined with the
softest substance, the mother plucking
the longest and finest materials from
her own body to give its sides the
proper protection aud warmth. The
young of the hare at their birth are
covered with fur, and are capable of
running with swiftncss, have their
ears erect and their eyes perfec'. The
young OF the rabbit are naked, their
eyes are shut, their ear-faps closed,
their bodies feeble, and for some
time they are entirely dependent on
their parent for support.
The rabbit shows no particular in
telligence, aud in its wild state, if it
misses its burrow, it is easily killed.
No animal, the dog excepted, is more
altered by domestication, than the
rabbit, and from its attractive appear
ance it has become deservedly favor

YOUNG PHARAoHs' PLAYTHINGs.

YOUNG PHARAoHS' PLAYTHINGS.
The children of the old Pharaohs OF
Egypt had their fun rs we'll as the boys
and girls of today. We know that
they played marbles and other games.
and recently the explorers in the an
cient tombs of the Egyptian rulers
have found other playthings. Among
them is a complete company. OF wooden
soldiers fifteen inches in height. They
are dressed in the uniforms of the
body guard of the ancient Pharaohs,
and armed with lances. Probably the
soldiers in the army that pursued
Moses into the Red sea and were
drowned when the walls of water
closed behind the Israelites We're
dressed in Just such way. No doubt
many young princes and prlncesses
played with this company of wooden
soldiers, marching it up and down,
and back and forth, and planning what
great battles they would fight when
they grew to be kings and queens.
And perhaps the young prince who
enioyed the soldiers most of all may
have died and the wooden army might
have been buried with him, to be
found thousands of years later. Chi

HOW A BARREL SAVED HIS LIFE.

A
A boy, six years of age, came to
Boston from Armenia few days ago,
saws the Boston Herald. His brother,
robust, rosy checked fellow of
twelve years; his father and cousin
twenty-five years old, came with him,
but their experience was quite unlike
that of their little companion, Dlcran
Dichtchekenian.
The father was certain that he and
| his boys would be murdered if they
remained in Armenia another week /;
so he made careful survey of his sur
roundings and hit on plan of escape.
1t is well-known fact than many
Armenian refugees have allowed them
selves to be packed like so much beef
in barrels, and then rolled over the
hard, hilly roads to the shore, where
they were transported ont to the ships
in the bay by small boats. In almost
every case the poor fellows have died
of suffocaton. The father of young
D.cran was practical man, however.
He provided breathing places in the
barrel for his boy, before he was
| packed in and the barrel headed up
and labeled for shipment.

money left for the crisis. He bribed
the Turkish officials, and they allowed
him and his elder son and nephew to
go aboard ship in the bay that was
bound for England. They were, Of
course, permitted to carry their bar

were the contents of the barrel, so far
as the Turks knew.

being fluent in French, he is quite

One of the remarkable things sur
rounding this boys individuality is
| the liberal translation of his Turkish
name. which is Dichtchekenian. The
"Dicht" means tooth" the "Che-

means "son Of. Thus the vocation
of his ancestry is explicitly told by
the translation of the name. He is
the son of tooth puller.

What Makes Iron Rust.

The old idea that iron rusted or OK
idated by uniting with the oxygen OF
water and setting free the hydrogen is
now exploded. In the first place. it
has been noticed that iron will not
rust in dry air or chemically pure wa
ter. Thus, for instance, in Arequipa.
in southern Peru, not only will iron
not rust in the open air, but rusty
iron brought up from the coast Will
become clear again. 1t now seems
certain that carbonic acid is nee
essarv to the rusting of iron,
the reaction seeming to be as follows:
First, ferrous carbonate is formed.
This is dissolved in the slightly acidu-
lated water and becomes ferrous bicar-
Donate. This in turn decomposes in
presence Of air into magnetic oxide.
and this last makes with the water the
hydrated ferric oxide or reddish brown.
