TWO UNKNOWN ANIMALS,
Pygmy, or Liberian, Hippopotamus
and Derfian E1and Rarely Seen.

Pygmy, or Liberian, Hippopotamus
and Derfian E1and Rarely Seen.
There are two animals practically
unknown to the outside world. These
are the pygmy, or Liberian hippopota-
mus, and the Derbian Gland. The first
named, says a writer in Outing, is just
what it's name implies-a pygmy hip
popotamus differing from the larger
and common variety in three respects
only. In the first place, it is much
smaller than the common hippopota-
mus amphibius, being no larger than
an ordinary or fair-sized hog. In the
second place, it differs somewhat
from the common hippo in the char
acter Of its teeth, and, in the third
place, instead of spending it's time In
the rivers and lakes in large herds,
it wanders about through the jungles
singly or in pairs, much after the
manner Of swine in search Of mast.
Owing to the fact that it does not
60 in herds and is hard to distinguish
against the dark background of jungle
thickets, it is an exceedingly difficult
animal to hunt OF find. If anything,
the legs of the dwarf Liberian hippo
potamus are a trifie longer in proper
ton than are those of the common
river hippopotamus.
Next to the Liberian hippopotamus
the Derbian Gland of West Africa,
which the Mandingoes call 'jinke
janko," is to-day the least known Of
all rare and strange animals.
Even though Great Britain, France
and Liberia own practically the whole
Of the Northwest African coast, no
specimen Of the Derbian Gland has
thus far reached Europe or this conn
try, and next to the okapi it is indeed
the least known Of all game animals
There are three distinct species Of
Gland in Africa. The large dun-colored
Cape Gland Of South Africa and the
striped Livingston's Gland Of East
Africa from Senegambia to Dahomey.
The Cape Gland, once very numerous,
is to-day almost extinct, having shared
the fate Of other South African ami
mails that fell victims to the merciless
'roers," or elephant guns Of the Beers.

The statement that 95 per cent of all
business men in this country fail has
been made so often, without being con-
tradlcted, that it long ago came to be
so thoroughly accepted as to be a plat
itude. Demagogic malcontents have
long danced to the sweet sound Of this
statement. Ponderous political and
sociological arguments have been bas-
ed upon this hypothesis But, after
all, there is no truth in it. 1t is with.
out any foundation whatever. How it
had it's origin nobody can guess. The
editor of Bradstreet's has produced sta
tistics showing that the average annual
rate of business failures is not 95 per
cent, but less than per cent Quite
a large difference! This estimate is
based upon figures complied for many
years, and it includes actual failures
with inability to pay debts. There are
other business failures, particularly the
failures to succeed. These cannot be
accurately counted, but it is known
that there were 2S4, 1893 names erased
from the business register Of 1908.
These seem to indicate failures to sue
coed. But in the same year there were
322,OO6 names added to the business
register. Undoubtedly most of the new
business enterprises were taken I'D BY
men who had discontinued other lines
OF business. A change in business, or
in firm name, does not necessarily in
dictate failure. Nor does actual dis
aster In business always mean actual
failure. Many Of the men most emf
nently successful to-day have met re-
verses. Many have paid dearly for
the experience that makes them mas
tiers in their lines. But it cannot be
truthfully said that one has failed so
long as he is able to draw himself to-
gether and try again. One of the most
successful business men of America.
now dead, failed dozen times before
he got things to going in accordance
with his high aspirations. Many men
are satisfied to do things in a small
way. They are proof against failure
because they attempt little. Others
aim high, and, though they fall some
times in their course, if they get up
again and win the goal, they are not to
be counted as failures-they are the
eminent successes. This is not a coun-
try of failure, but of success. The
amazing industrial advancement of the
nation is most practical and substan-
tial proof that successes, not failures,
are to be counted in the high figures.

A HUMAN SALAMANDER.
The Story of Junot of the Ninth and the
Emperor Napoleon.

The Story of Junot of the Ninth and the
Emperor Napoleon.
1t was warm corner. Day after
day the French soldiers had pushed
their batteries nearer and nearer to-
ward the besieged town, and now one
could look out from behind the breast
works and plainly see the faces of the
Austrian artillerymen, as they stuck
to their guns with grim determine ton
and sent their shots flying into the
French forts.
In one of these little mud-construct-
ed forts a small party Of French SOL
diers, under the command of a cor
poral, were busily engaged in return
ing the fire of the enemy.
The corporal, a tall, gaunt young
fellow Of twenty, was directing the
work of his men. Often he leaped to
the ramparts to note what effect the
fire of his guns was producing.
Truly" said one Of the soldiers, as
the corporal jumped back among
them, Thou art veritable salaman-
der, for thou canst stand fire."
"Who is a salamander?" inquired a
gruff voice from the rear of the smoke
filled battery.
The soldiers turned and saw stand
ing there a small, pale-faced man in
generals uniform.
One Of the men pointed toward the
corporal.
1T is he, general" he replied.
"a salamander! We will seer re-
iterated the officer, as he ran his eye
over the corporal. Can you write"
he inquired.
Yes, my general"
Follow me, them" Out into the
shot-swept open the two passed, walk
ing side by side.
You seem," remarked the general
pleasantly, ito be at least a foot taller
than /. Kindly walk on this side,"
and he indicated the side nearest to
the enemy. 1T will be a great pro-
lection to me-"
Without word the corporal took
the place.
Just at that moment a shell burst
