In fact. one of them will do his best to
pull the whole coach himself. They are
softer mouthed than the mule. They never
kick. and the only thing. in the shape of
vice which they show is a tendency, when
first handled, to bite. But they soon give
it up when they understand that there is
no temptation to hurt them" This Is
really a wonderfully good character for
animals taken up from absolutely wild
stock. Wild asses. for instance, would
probably be intractable, though possibly
Wild reindeer could be trained to act with
tame ones. Mr.. Dryden chronicles another
experiment, which was a failure. Sixteen
Burchelrs zebras We're brought in from the
interior by Dutch hunters. They seemed
perfectly tame and were broken in harness
and saddle. But it was found that they
would not stand regular coach work, and
were more trouble than horses and mules
This is very probable But where horses
and mules cannot live. they would prob
ably be less trouble than human porters.
Correct Name.
Button has the credit of giving to the
animal its present name, but with more
correctness than IN the case of the other
familiar animal whose name begins with
T." 'Zebu." which he appropriated to
the bumped cattle of India, is the common
name throughout the east for cattle as
distinguished from buffaloes. The name
will survive in the Caucasus for the wild
by Button from what was said by old trav
elers to be it's vernacular name in the Con-
go region. 1t is believed to be thoroughly
African The history of the lost zebra,
the quagga. is a curious one. 1t seems to
have been a local species, very little dis
tributed, and seems never to have gone
north of the Orange Free State. AS the
Beers used to shoot the quaggas to feed
their Hottentots. and later to make leather
from their hides. they disappeared as early
as 1860. though some were believed to have
survived in the Orange Free State till 1878
AS the white rhinoceros, none of which
were supposed to exist north of the Fam
best, has been found living in fresh en-
clave somewhere near Lake Victoria. 1t is
still possible that a separate and surviving
branch of the lost quagga may be discov-
cred there also

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
Former Governor Peter Turney of Ten

General Stonewall Jackson. 1t was in Vir-
ginia, Of course. Col. Turney had never
seen the general, but about midnight re-
ceiVed orders to prepare three days ra :

notice. Two hours later came an order
to proceed in a certain direction, and that
at certain point on the road he would
find a guide. At the point a citizen rode I'D
and merely indicating the direction rode
along with the colonel in silence. Before
day they came upon plain looking man
wearing small cap and mounted on a
little pony. He fell in with the head of the
column and along they rode, still in 81
lence Soon after daybreak the newcomer
said: Colonel, had you not better halt
your men for breakfast?
II will before long was the reply. The
silence was only broken half an hour later
by similar suggestion and a similar re-
ply. Finally the newcomer stopped glanc-
ing around at the sky and landscape and
said: Colonel, halt your men for break
fast"
Col. Turney, thinking that this was a
plain countryman who felt over sorry for
the men. did So When the march was re-
sumed the stranger remarked that the regt-
ment was struggling good deal, and when
Col Turney gave a command for the
head of the column to 'shortstep," the
stranger said: mo, that will throw your
men all out. 1t should be slow STEP" This
was command to which the Tennesseeans
We're not accustomed. and, putting a pri-
vate on his pony. the stranger took the
head of the column foot and showed
the men how to march.
While this was going on Col. Turney
asked his adjutant who the stranger was.

He was on foot, the very head man in
such close proximity to the enemy that the
battle was on in half an hour, and vet

from the rear just as the main cOmman nd

From the New York Tribune
The shirt waist problem, wnlcn oesah

tions Of letter carriers have been proIn1-

ranks of the postmen with considerable
6arcaness There has certainly been great
reInctance to adopt the shirt waist on the
mart Of many of the carriers, and In several
instances there have been efforts at com

waist in front and a coat behind. fermis-
sion to wear this garment was secured from
the postal authorities, and 1t was adopted
nv some, though not by any means ma
iority Of the carriers of that city.
The question came up before the letter
carriers of New Haven recently, and there
a suggestion was mace WnIch 9usnl 10
that every man ought to keep as cool as
possible during the heated term. If he does
not he will be cross to his wife and chill
dren, besides suffering other lesser evils.
Everybody agrees, also, that no coat was
ever devised which was really cool enough
for midsummer The disagreement comes
when it is proposed that men adopt the
shirt waist by name and association fem

pressed by one of the New Haven carriers
who said: What do they want to rig us
out with shirt waists for? Do they think
we are a lot of women? Some Of the men
who favor shirt waists will one of these
days be calling for hoopskirts for the car
riers Give us the biouse-a mans gar

Now here is the. germ Of a great thought,
"Give US the blouse-a mans garment" A
blouse according to the dictionary, IL
loose upper garment worn by men in place
of a coat. Certainly give us the blouse, or,
in other words, call It a blouse, and don't,
for PHYS sake call Il a shirt waist The
garment will be just the same, and the re-
sultant GOODNESS will be just as delightful.

good deal In a name. BY all means give us
the blouse.
