ANTlPATHY AMONG ANIMALS.
Different Species of Beasts Dislike Each
Other.

Different Species of Beasts Dislike Each
Other.
The likes and dislikes of animals
are unaccountable. Some horses take
a 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 violent antipathy, which,
however, is not frequently displayed
by mutual respect, and even affection
in exceptional 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 loathe
and detest camels and refuse to be de-
Gently civil to them after long acquaint-
ance. 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. Butwhy should
the horse like dogs? It is but the
other day that the wild horses organ
lied to defend their colts from wolves
in our Western prairies. What could
the ancestral horse have had against
the ancestral camel of million years
ago? Above ll,why should the horse
approve of tho bear? It must be that
the horse has dormant sense of beau
ty 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,
awkward and unaesthetical camel. The
bear, he sees at once, though clumsy,
is unpretentious, truthful and not de-
void Of sense Of humor. The dog he
recognizes as SOOd Fellow, cOmpan-
ionable not unselfsh. 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 q camel would not 90
On inch to see the best race that was
ever run.
The horse does seem little preju-
diced in the case of the camel, but it
is O fine, aristocratic, unreasonable
prejudice he has. And we like him
for himself and for showing that the
evolutionists cannot explain all the
sentiments of a refined and highly Or
ganized animal. Man, Of course, they
can account for in every Particular

THE SILENT RULER.

We only know he walks with noiseless
tread, -
Unresting ever-voiceless rs the dead.
We only know he brings us loss or gain,
The rose Of pleasure, or the rue OF pain
All changes manifold OF life or death,
From q leafs promise to dying breath.
We only know whom this old earth and sky
Pass into nothinSucss, he cannot die
The silent ruler with his scythe and glass,
Our Father Time, who secs the nations
pass
Yet gives no token over land or sea
OF MS new reign--the yelled eternity.

knowledge, for Joe was lad Of parts.
''Do you remember the day you ad
mitted there was q probability Of your
getting to care for me by degrees?" he
asked.
''Did I? What a memory you have
Well?"
"The words suggested q little song.
Shall I read it to you?" = -'-~--
''Proceed!"
''Lovc!

And half in scorn demands,

The answer home has como

More tenderly than speech.
Sweet Cupid aimed at each!
Our lover swears by warlike Harold,

"That's real cute, as tho Yankees
say. However do you think Of such
things?"
But Joe's mind, even while reading,
had been wandering.
CHOW is my chance" said his hope
full heart. 'Bess was never so dear
and sweet to me before" Aloud.
'Bess, I'm going away to win fame
md fortune: will you keep this little
baud for me till I como back?"
'Can you trust me, Joe? You don't
while you are near me; how will 1t be
when you are far away?"
II hope you will give me more
cause to trust you," said Joe. "You
will be on honor then you know"
'It seems to me there's good deal
Of taking things for granted going on, !"
said wilful Bess, trying to summon q
frown and pull her hand away.
But the hour was Joe's; he held on
masterfully, saying at the same time:
ooh, yes, letme take it for granted?"
And he slipped an emerald ring on
her finger which she knew was about
his only heirloom. There was be-
witchment perhaps in the green CLEAN
Of the jewel which completed the
charm; be that as it may, she did let
him take her hand-for granted-and
something else besides. All, picture
too fair to be realized! Locks Of gold
and bronze intermingled! Eyes of blue
saying to eyes of brown, "Lovest?"
AS they walked back slowly to reali-
ties Joe said tenderly:
II do not ask you, dear one, to call
this an engagement. I love you too
well to bind you with promises till I
can offer you a home and position
worthy Of you. My fathers debts are
nearly paid: I am in honor bound to
devote my energies first to clearing
them of"
And Bess, all softness, replied:
"You ore dear, honorable, old boy.
I ON afraid I shall never be worthy Of
you"
'Dear heert, you are my guiding
star! It is the thought of your smile,
the hope of winning you for my very
own, that nerves me for life's battle"
AS they drew near the boats, one
look at her brothers face was enough
to tell his faithful little sister that it
was we'll with the lad; her picnic was
0 success. She found a chance to
whisper, ere they embarked:
"Has she accepted ou?"
''She has accepted my love-"

movements were so uncertain; and for
other and less good reasons, so were
Elizabeth's.
The expedition had been so far sue
cessful, and already firm foundation
was laid for the fame and fortune J oe's
soul craved. As the second year drew
to close EliZabeth's letters ceased al
together, and Mary (she was Mrs. Mar

EDO not build your hopes too high.
Elizabeth is in Montreal, gayer than
ever. She will look at nothing now
but an officer, and almost cuts her old
friends, SO dazzled is she by the red
coats. A Major Shaw is her chief
cavalier at present. "
Joe, knowing his lady love of old,
was not so overcome as he might have
been by this report. He determined
to see how matters were for himself.
He was intrusted with letters to the
Government, and though his modesty
had kept the fact so far from being
generally known, he was made man.
Upon reaching Montreal, he found
his way without delay to the stately
home of Elizabeth's uncle.
Elijah Dare's position in the Gov
ernment gave his niece the entree to
the best houses in the town. At that
period no city in the world was more
full Of enjoyments in which the young
delight. Though Europeans picture
Canadians as frost bound oil winter,
that is really their gayest season; en-

Her softest thought for Joe was
gratitude that he had left her free.
She put his graudmother's ring away
in box, ready to return it to him on
the first opportunity. His letters she
destroyed as soon as they were read,
and felt no fear as to her own, know

And every day Joe looked out over
the lonely waters, dreaming high

curiosities Of the Isle Of Maize. one of
the Seychelles islands in the Indian
ocean. The Seychelles islands. which
are supposed by many to be the site Of
the Eden OF Old Testament history,
form an archipelago Of one hundred
and fourteen islands, and are situated
about ], 400 miles east of Alden and
900 miles from Zanzibar. They rise
steeply out Of the sea, eliminating in
the Isle Of Maize, which is about 5000
feet above the level Of the ocean and Is
nearly the center OF the group. All
these islands are OF coral growth. The
houses are built Of species OF massive
coral hewn into square blocks, which
glisten like white marble, and show
themselves to the utmost advantage in
the various tinted green Of the thick
tropical palms, whose immense fern

needed shade These palms grow az
high as 100 feet and more, overlapping

Leaves from the Sketch Book OF an
Animal Artist" Ia an article by Mere
dith Nugent In the St. Nicholas. Mr..
Eugent says: There was an elephant
in the Jardin-des-Plan that would
not pose unless he were paid for it, and
paid In advance. Then he took pay
ment In buns and pie. but II these were
not forthcoming, he would deliberately
walk tc the farther end OF the enclosure
and turn his back. The only way to
get a drawing OF this big fellow was to
engage some one TO feed him mean
while. In the game gardens l saw an
unusually interesting sight one morn
ing. A little sunbear with a large
marrow bone In his shaggy paws was
resorting to all sorts OF bear devices to
get the sweet marrow. Suddenly he
lay down on his back, placed one end
of the bone In his jaws, and with his
hind paws tipped the other end Of the
bone 30 high up that the choice morsel
slipped into his mouth. If the animal
could only have understood the shouts
of approval that greeted this perform

head. In one OF the sketches you will
see bow this feat was accomplished. AS
