nineteenth century. 1t became ex-
tinct on the American side of the At
lantic about 1910 and in Europe about
1914. The South African quagga dis
appeared about 1870 owing to the
slaughter by hide hunters. The twin
shelled tortoise of the Galapagos is
lanGs became extinct in all probabili-
ty about 1875. The black emu of
South Australia was also eXtermina ted
during the century, though it was
abundant in 1903. The great cormo-
rant was last seen alive about 1889,
and many other species of birds from
all parts of the world have likewise
been eXterminated. In the Danish
West India islands, for example, out
of fourteen species catalogued in 1895
only six still exist, and similar his
tory can be told of many other locali-
ties.

and piper-returning to their village
from a wedding party were overtaken
by snowstorm and sought refuge in
deserted mill. They lit fire with
some wood they found In the place
and were warming themselves when
they saw a wolf emerge from dark
corner of the building. They jumped

saw several more wolves join the first
The animals rushed in their direction,
and the drummer, at loss for a mode
of defense, set to beating his drum.
whereupon his companion instinctiyely
played his pipe. The effect was mar
velous. The music SO terrified the
wolves that they attempted to run
away, and as the door was closed, they
began fighting, and several of them
were torn to pieces, the survivors
eventually escaping through a hole in
the wall. This incident is vouched for
by the Government Gazette Of Sivas.

Shelley Liked bread.

The poet Shelley was very simple in
his tastes and found his chief pleasure
in long, solitary ambles. Bread be-
came his chief sustenance when his
regimen attained to that austerity
which afterward distinguished it He
could have lived on bread alone with
out repining.

g friend. with much surprise, that
Mr.. q. does not like bread? Did YOU
ever know a person who disliked
bread" His friend explained to him
that Mr.. G. probably had no objection
to bread in moderate quantity at a
proper time and with the usual adj.
juncts and was only unwilling to de.
YOUR several pounds of dry bread at a
meal.
Shelley had no such objection; his
pockets were generally we'll stored
with bread Sometimes he ate with
his bread the common raisins which
he bought at small grocers' shops

them to swim in any direction, and
it specially enables them to rise rapid

more easily and securely their nostrils
are placed at the very end of the muz-
zle and are furnished with valves,
which secure them from being entered
by the water in which they live.
Unlike other snakes, they cast their
skins in small pieces. Their eyes are
not adapted to see we'll out Of water,
and thus they cannot when in the air
take a good aim to bite. They feed on
small fishes, which they paralyze by
means of their poison, and thus they
have nothing to fear from the spines
of the fishes they eat.

The Fate OF Hannibal.

Hannibal's life and fate were su-
premely great and sad. He was pa
t1ot who had only the best interests
of his country at heart. In the wars
of Carthage against Rome he carried
I Sis armies across the strait Of Gil
braltar, over the Alps and into Italy
to the very gates of Rome. For more
than score of years he remained
there, supporting his forces upon the
enemy and proving himself to be
such a literal and lasting scourge
that the Roman mothers would quiet
their children with the sound of his
dreaded name. Finally, when cid in
years and he was driven forth and
defeated, he had made record in its
way unparalleled throughout the an
mails of ancient warfare.
Yet in his old age he became a
fugitive, wandering from one country
to the other and finding no rest, owing
to the vindictive prosecutions of the
Romans. who were then all powerful.
AT last. discovering no spot on earth
open to linn as a refuge, deserted by
his former friends. his country en-
Aslaved and his once imperial native
4ty in ruins, he gave way to despair
~and ended his life with poison.
