ANTIPATHY AMONG ANIMAL s.
Different Species of Beasts Entertain
Dislike for Each Other.

Different Species of Beasts Entertain
n Dislike for Each other.
The likes and dislkes of animals are
unaccountable. Some horses take
violent prejudice against certain men.
even though they are treated kindly and
though the mans moral character is
fair. Between the cat and dog there is
a violent antipathy, which, however, is
not infrequently displayed by mutual
respect, and even affection in excep-
tional cases. The elephant hates dogs
and rats. Cows dislike dogs. and so
do sheep, and, what seems stranger, are
particularly partial to bears. On the
other hand, horses loath and detest
camels and refuse to be decently civil
to them after long acquaintance They
even hate the place where camels have
been, which seems to be carrying race
prejudice to an extreme.
Evolutionists are accustomed to ex-
plain these instructive feelings as sur
vivals of ancestral enmities dating from
the days when one race preyed on the
other. This would account for the
natural enmity of cows to dogs, for
when cows were wild they were obliged
to defend their calves from bands of
predatory wild dogs. But why should
the horse like dogs? 1t is but the other
day that the wild horses organized to
defend their colts from wolves on our
western prairies. What could the an
cestral horse have had against the an
cestral camel of million years ago?
Above all. why should the horse ap-
prove of the bear? It must be that the
horse has a dormant sense of Beauty
and of humor The ideal of the horse is
grace, combined with strength He
disapproves from the bottom of his
nature of the hopelessly vulgar. awk-
ward and unaesthetical camel. The
bear, he sees at once. though clumsy, Is
unpretentious. truthful, and not devoid
of sense of humor. The dog he
recognizes as good fellow, compan-
ionable and unselfish. He therefore
forgets his ancestral predacious habits.
A strong bond between the dog and the
horse is that they are both fond of sport.
whereas a camel would not go an inch
to see the best race that was ever run.
The horse does seem a little pre-
JUDGED in the case of the camel. but it
is fine. aristocratic. unreasonable
prejudice he has. And we like him for
himself and for showing that the evolu-
tionists cannot explain all the senti-
ments of refined and highly organized
animal. Man. of course, they can ac-
count for in every particular.-Hart-
ford Couraut.

Gowns for Autumn.

Green and brilliant red are much ia
vored colors in children's dresses.
Poplins are in style again in plain,
plaid and striped effects and are to be
used with velvet waists or the full dress
is of plain poplin trimmed with velvet.
Smooth-fnished blue-black silk-warp
goods are very fashionable for utility
gowns. made up all black or with a
colored vest and collar. They are
trimmed with satin, velvet. braid. Jet
and even heavy lace as yoke and take
all of the decorations equally well.-

HEART SORROWS.
r,arv bosom hath its sorrows,

every bosom hath its sorrows.
Every heart its bitter woe;
masks they are. instead of faces,
which are passing to and fro.
could we know the weary watchings,
Could we count the silent tears
see the hearts all scared and bleeding,
rolling on through weary years,
struggling with oppression. maybe
Striving meath misfortune's ban,
Smiling. while the soul is starving,
For the sympathy of man
would we not withhold the censure
trembling on our thoughtless lips?
All! we know not of the trials
Which have wrought this dark eclipse!
Hope and faith in God are stranded;
Friendship fades like mSrning dew;
Wrong and scorn have scared and blightec
Hearts that once were brave and true.
Sin and poverty, 1t may be,
Dragged for him lfe's bitter cup;
But. remember he's your brother,
Lend hand to help him up
Nor with righteous indignation,
Or Pharisaic pride.
Fold too close thy spotless garments,
Or pass on the other side

A Good Rule.

1t is good rule in home life to avoid
all arguments which tend to irritate or
wound. Blessings on the memory of
saint of 90 years who once said: Dear
child. never insist on the last word
about anything. 1t isn't worth while
You can keep your own opinion. but
et your friend express his if he wants
to, and refuse for your part TO quarrel
about a trifle." -netroit Free Press.

The impression carried away by the
tourist that the French Canadian speaks
a patois is not well founded He en-
ploys words and phrases not recognized
by the academy, but that is not alto
gether his fault. The first settlers had
to invent Technology for their new
surroundings. They accepted the Indian
names for some of the strange birds,
fishes and fruits. In other cases there
was nothing for it but 10 coin words,
for what did the French of France know
of sleighing, canoeing, snowshoeing,
portaging, clearing land, barn raising,
driving logs or making maple sugar?
in the lower parishes the habitant gets
married "at the herring" baptizes his
child sat the capelan," does something
else cat the squid," the seasons when
the fish "run"-i e., strike the shore to
spawn-being as important in his reck-
oning as are the vendanges to the peas
ant of France. Some of his phrases date
from his struggles with the Iroquois.
Thus he speaks of going to the "fort"
when he means the village, the first vii
lagos having been provided with stock
AIDES, and to frighten a naughty child
he threatens to call in les sauvages. He
has preserved a number of words that
were good French in the seventeenth
century, but have since changed their
meaning or gone out of use in France.
He also employs sailor phrases in an
odd way. as when he "moors" his horse
to his sleigh and "disembarks' from
that vehicle with his "dunnage TAX
ing it altogether, however, his French
is better than that of the French peas
ant of today The worst that can be said
of it is that it is rather archaic by COM
parison. His pronunciation of 1T" and
"d' is marked by nasal twang, due
possibly to the climatic agencies that are
supposed by some to be responsible for
the twang Of the down east Yankee.
The educated French Canadian speaks
as good French, of course, as the edu-
Gated Partisan, but he uses fewer ges-
lures. Edward Farrer in Forum.
