CRUELTY IS CARELEssNEss.

-SA aformed Hunter and Fisher Thinks gss Tb.+ Animals Have Their Rights,
 Too.
 The hunting instinct is still In al- most every man, born in us' we are &s11ot to blame for that, but are we not x to blame if we do not stop to think anu
 care a little? have carried a gun ever E since I was able to lift one. l used 10 $Sinve to shoot things; but 1t was not S#2rreat while before it came over me Ezfhat these creatures loved to live as x much as I did, and my gun has been only at targets since 1 was i1 7 Wears of age. Even fishing l lost my EHH+astxa for. I would not press these mat @@ 4ers too far. I would not be what
 be fairly regarded as sentlfneh- B ta17 as silly. or too soft hearted; put' tf r were going to catch fish to-day' HaT wou1d certainly kill him the minute 7,e was out of the water, instead or x 1eavine. him, as I used to as boy' 3 pasping for breath by the hour in the Aun an the bank out of his cool liquld home. Nj do not believe that any man Who N " ons and thinks can find it in his heart
 i4n shoot or kill any longer simply tor Es 4he pleasure. If he is going to use, II ha ia going to eat, if they are needed +hen catch and use. Well-1 know } there are doctors of divinity who write K hea,tiful books about fishing and hunt ESshng. I will not say too much leave 1.-The matter to their own consclence' nnIy-only-I cannot do it any more.
 And then pride, pride and fashion EfA. What right ] have wa to destroy and mutilate and x nbuse merely to make different klhos oi E animals conform to our ideas or Wha, they ought to be, the passing style oi 5 sthe year? love to see span or horses with tail and mane as they nave hst.- E urally grown, and with the head uh'
 vexed by the check, so that the horse can toss it freely and gladly in the N free air and live out the native. beau- |Astiful. graceful life which belongs tc him. marvel that women supposed to DC Hn much tendere than men, at the peer If fashion, will allow cruelties slmplS ESfiendish to be carried on. suppose the most of them do not think. Gare N lassness as I have already hinted + responsible for no end of cruelty in thl direction. In a hundred ways we art careless and thoughtless about thes' things. We do not see to 1t that anl mals are properly cared for, that the! do not hunger do not thirst, that the! are not balled by the harness, that the! are properly treated in every sort O way. And there is one other point. hardl' know how to express what I really fee concerning it. The abuse Of science, O et least of certain scientific men, unde \ 1he name of viviscction. DO not nnis understand me. do not condemn vivl section always and ill all cases. nav no sort of question but there are tune when it is justified, when knoWledg ran be obtained in that way which l necessary for the advancement of hu manity that cannot be found in an other; but it is abused it is over done Professors grow careless and nara, an lightly enter upon these experiments | illustrate point or entertain class c students And so the lives of the lowe
 creatures are made to groan in agon and pain for what is really the enter tainment of people instead of the neces sary carrying on of some department C difficult human investigation.
 In all these ways we create needles
