RABBITS WHITE TAIL.
Is 1t Natures Mode of Protecting the
Animals from Pursuers?

mild little tilt in this column last
week against the eagerness of many
folk to-day to find protective devices

friendly correspondents, writes George
A. B. Dewar in the London Express.
George r. Tayler's remarks on the rab-
bits white tail | Will deal with at
once. as these white ow-your-lead-
err marks on various animals are be-
ing discussed in several quarters just
now. Mr. Tayler quotes my remark
that rabbits when alarmed, never fail
to make straight for cover. even
though there are no white tails to
guide them.

he urges, that the white tail Is par

Il think, therefore, that 1t is cor
rect to say this is undoubtedly ma
lures mode OF protecting young rab-
bits, which would otherwise become
easy prey to their pursuers.'
OF course, I admit that the theory
is taking and ingenious. and 1t Is also

way TO account for the white tail of
the rabbits But to accept 1t we have
to assume-unless we believe rabbits
We're simply created at the outset in

tails-that white tails were so essen
tial to the continuance of rabbit life

THE BRAVE LITTLE MAN.

All torn, but sweet, is the old straw hat,
AS 1t hangs on the rack in the hall.
There's mud from home on two little
shoes
Where he played on the hills last fall;
There's dust on the kite and the little
stick horse
Stands still as ever he can,
Listening. perhaps, in the corner there
For the voice Of the brave little man.
There's never song Of bird nor bloom
OF rose that blows in the spring,
Nor shout OF boy, nor CLEAN Of sun
But where some tears will cling.
There's never flash OF the evening star
On the hearthstone's ireside
Or winter night but will bring some tenrs
For the brave little man that died.
Kind friends they were we kiss them
for him.
And lay them out of sight
The two little shoes. the torn old hat
The little stick horse and kite,
And down In his pocket a rusty nail
A hit of chalk and string.
A broken knife, an alley or two.
OH the birds. the bloom, and the
spring.
And star of God Mt mornings song,
Noon time and twilight tide.
One sweet little face. some tears will
come
For the bravo little man that died.

PEABODY AND CARNEGIE.
Philanthropy Now So Common to
Attract Little Public Attention.


1t has been nearly fifty years since
Peabody startled the public by his
benefactions on both sides of the At
lantie, says the Baltimore American.
Girard had been the pioneer in Amer
lean philanthropy; but Girard, for
some reason. did not fascinate the
public of his day, and it remained for
the future to do full justice to his
splendid generosity. Peabody captured
the English-speaking people at ONCE,
and, in accordance with popular fore
cast his example was speedily fol-
lowed by wealthy men, of whom Balti-
more has certainly had her share. In
England gigantic phllanthropic enter
prises have been provided for by some
of her public men, and in this country
grand and wonderfully useful institu-
tons attest the influence of the pio-
neer philanthropists. Many now liv-
ing will remember the amazement and
stir caused by Mr.. Peabody's muniti-
cent gifts. an impression which had
scarcely faded a particle at his death.

that he could not afford to marry yet

The United States ship Swatara

money, but 1t was found that she
would be inadequate to transport the

the Swatara her magazines. The
shells from the shellroom were re-
moved, as We're also the sails from
