ANTlpATHxsAMoNe ANIMALS.
Different Species Of Bessts Entertain o
Dislike For Zach Other.

The likes and dislikes of animals are
unaccountable. Some horses take violent
prejudice against certain men, even
though they are treated kindly and though
the mans moral character IL fa.r. BE.
tween tho cat and dog there is violent
antipathy. which. however. is not infre-
1uently displayed by mutual respect, and
even affection in exceptional cases The
elephant hates dogs and rats. Cows dislike
dogs, aud so do sheep. and, what seems
stranger, arc particularly partial 10 bears.
On the other hand, horses ,oathe and de.
test camels and refuse to 20 dcccntly civil
20 them after long acquaintance. They
even hate the place where camols have
been, which seems to be carrying race pref
udice 20 an extreme.
Eyolutionists are accustomed TO explain
these instructive feelings ns survivnls of
ancestral ennities 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 10 defend thei. calves
from bands ~ predatory wild dogs But
why should the horse like dogss IL is but
the other day that the wild horses organ
lied 20 defcnd their colts from wolves on
our western prairies Whau could the an.
ceHtfal nursc nave lAu against the anCcS-
tral camel OF million years agog Above
ALL why should the horse approve Of the
bear? IL must be that the horse has dor
mant sense Of beauty and Of humor. The
ideal OF the horse is grace combined with
strength. He dsapproyes from the bot
tom OF his nature OF the hopclessly vulgar,
awkward and unBsthetical camel. The
bear, ho sees at once, though clumsy, IL
unpretentious, uuthful and not devoid OF
a sense Of humor The dog ne recognizes
as n good fellow, companiouablc and un-
selfish. He therefoDe forgets his ancestral
predaceous 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.
Tho horse does seem little prcjudiced
in the case OF tho camel. but It Is fine,
aristocratic, unreasonable prejudice ho
has And we like him for himself and for
showing that the eyolutionists cannot cx.
plain all the sentiments OF refined and
highly organized animal Man. OF course,
they can account for in every particular

THE CANINE RACE.
Dogs as the Food rs Well as the Friends
OF Mankind.

Darwin relates somewhere that when
the inhabitants Of TierTa del Fuego are
pressed by famine they Kill and eat their
old women rather than their dogs, and
that in Australia fathers will sacrifice
their children in order that the mothers
may be able TO nourish this useful servant
Of men. The Chinese, however tend and
fatten their dogs carefully to eat. They
also consider the cat choice dish. AT
Peking and throughout China thcrois 10

THE COLD WAVE At LAST.
Old DOreas Brings Relief. But Also
Cold Comfort.

The Compromised cold wave which
arrived last night was more intense than
had been expected. Few people sat upon
their porches and windows were tightly
closed, while a ride on the street-car
without an overcoat was by no means as
interesting or as comfortable as it might
have been. The wave brings frost in its
train, ana il is possible that the Their
