ANIMAL PREMONITIONS OF
EARTHQUAKES.

When in December, woman refused
to remain more than one night at Anal
fl, saying she was sure that the earth
was moving, and when next day the
landslip occurred, it was said, Here is,
at all events, one human being with the
premonitory sense of earthquakes, with
which most animals appear to be en-
dued." | have been told of instance af-
ter instance of horses, dogs, a monkey,
and even ducks, who showed unmistak-
able signs of panic for a day, two days,
and even longer, before the last great
earthquake in the Riviera. Only to
name a few: A woman at Nice re-
marked the miserable condition of the
horse she usually drove, and told her
coachman to take him home and order
brougham from the livery stables for
her. The hired horse was as timid, and
seemed as weak, as her own. The
driver said all the animals were 'off
their feed" A monkey, two tame ducks
and other pets, at a villa near Vile
franche. on the Shrove Tuesday-the
day before the shock which destroyed
so much life and property-refused to
enter the house where they were gene
loiiS NOiy h'ppS' lHey were al spli-
itless, dull and scared, A little white
lap dog, who sat on the wide arm of his
masters chair at meals, and was the
most sociable of pets at all other times,
refused also to come home to roost."
Other dogs also evinced an unwonted
terror of being under a roof Cattle be-
longing to the diaries supplying the
winter resorts sickened and seemed ter
ror stricken-the quantity and quality
of the milk suffering considerably.
The woman at Amalfi is thought to
owe her presentiment to representative
ness of nerves, which gave her a share
of this sixth sense" which the animals
possess.-London News.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1900-02-26
WOMEN AS Observation-Disclosures.

In an article entitled Musical ANA
IONS" found in the London Spectator,
women as instrumentalists are, thus de-
scribed:
Turning to the vital question of the
quality or efficiency of the women play
ers, one is first of all struck by the fact
that no woman of this generation has
exerted an influence comparable with
that wieldedfor many years, and in less
emancipated times, by Nine. Schumann,
who, as an executant Interpreter, teach
err and upholder of the noblest ideals,
was worthy to be ranked with DR.. Joa-
chin. OF living female pianists and4vi-
olinists, though the list includes many
superlative executants, it cannot be
said that any one possesses the mag
netism of a paderewski, the transcen-
dental agility of Rosenthal or the ex-
quisite urbanity of Sarasate. Viewed
professionally the woman player of to-
day has every good quality-purity of
intonation, musicianship, intelligence
and is only alleged to fall short of her
brethren in breath and volume of tone.
The relative efficiency of the sexes, in
fact seems to be very much what 1t was
when Plato said that men and women
differed not in kind but in degrees that
the same natural gifts were found in
both, but that they We're possessed in
higher degree by men than women.
There are two facts, in conclusion,
which ought to be borne in mind in con-
nection with the multiplication of fe-
male eXecutants. 1t is a mistake to
suppose as we so often are told, that
the profession is going to be swamped
by the enormous number of accom-
plished performers turned out by our
leading academies. The truth is that a
very large number of girls go in for
what is practically professional must
cal training who have not the slightest
intention, or even need, of making a
livelihood out of music The other fact
is the serious drawback to which all fe-
male nstrumentalists are subjected
from the enormous numerical prepon- ,
derance of the female auditor at all con-
certs. Even an incompetent boy prodi
gy will excite raptures where first-rate
adult Amazon of the keyboard is greet
ed with frigid appreciation"

lier was almost filled with explosive
| bullets. Lieutenant Digby-Jones, run
ming out of the emplaeement, shot the
/ Commandant Won Wyk before he him
self ended short yet heroic career with
a Mauser bullet through the throat. His
young and brave comrade, Lieutenant
Dennis, r. E., fell soon afterward while
going to the aid of the wounded.
BATTLE LASTED SIXTEEN HOURS.
THE hard-fought fight was nearly
over. Our men were again on the sum-
NIT of the hill, and the Hotchlkiss gun
of the Natal Naval Volunteers was no
longer in jeopardy. But there remain
ed a small and gallant hand of Beers,
who either would not or could not re-
tire. They were hidden among some
solid rocks, about thirty yards from
the brow of the hill Their fire was
deadly in its searching accuracy. one
man alone is credited with having shot
no fewer than five officers. Colonel
Hamilton asked Colonel Park whether
anything could be done to remove them'
"A charge suggested the commander
of the DevOns. The order was given,
and the three companies went forward
with a cheer across the open shot-sWept
ground. Lieutenant Field led his COM
pany first, then came Captain Latone,
and upon his heels Lieutenant Master
son. The enemy did not wait to receive
the cold steel, but threw themselves over
the hill in headlong flight, trusting to
speed and the flooding sheet of rain.
Lieutenant Masterson having to re-
turn with a message, tumbled into
sungar with ten wounds upon his body.
Captain Lafone and Lieutenant Field
fell victims to a cross fire while the
Beers were in flight.
THE battle was over. For sixteen
hours it had ragged, and the very heav-
ems had been shaken with the roar of
cannon and the rattle of musketry.
Ladysmith had not fallen. The enemy
had been repulsed on every side, and
the trail of their dead-east west, south
and north-was heavy beyond anything
that they had suffered in Natal. Night
drew sable cloak over the slain, and
we waited anxiously till dawn to count
the dead and to rescue the wounded"
The Daily Telegraph's' correspond
ent at Rensburg, writing January 20,
says:
1He udy lolloWlHS llal oil NiiiSi ZIG
New South Wales Lancers' patrol were
cut up we found two men bearing evil
dence of it. One was dead. The back
of his skull was completely blown away.
The other was a peculiarly sad case.
The bullet had carried away the lower
jaw, tongue and other portions; he was
still alive, and wrote with his finger on
the sand the one word Water but he
had neither tongue nor mouth to drink
by, and so he died.-New York Mail
