Tho paradoxes continue to pile on the

country he does his studying at coll
lepc and slices in his fun by the way
During vacations he let's text books Sc
verely alone. Not so at Oxford He

the studying Is 20 be done I'm the long
Vacations, OF which one-half OF tho
year consists.
As to the oxford spirit, Il Ia very

ColeridEe the Soldier.

Subsistence could not be made on the
reading and writing Of pamphlets or
the means of livelihood obtained by
the most eloquent and enhancing Of
conversations, and Coleridge, finding
himself both forlorn and destitute in
London, enlisted as a soldier in the
Fifteenth Elliots) Life dragons.
"On his arrival at the quarters Of the
regiment" says his friend and biog-
rapher, Mr.. Gilman, "the general Of
the district inspected the recruits and,
looking hard at COleridge with a mill
tary air, inquired, What's your name,
sir? 'Comberbach' (the name he had
assumed. What do you come here
for, sir?' as If doubling whether he had
any business there. Sir said Cole
ridge, for what most persons come
to be made a soldier DO you think

man through the bodyY do not
know replied Coleridge, 'as 1 have
never tried, but I'll let Frenchman
run me through the body before I'll
run away That will do, said the
general, and Coleridge was turned into
the ranks."-English House Beautiful

Do Animals Really Think.

1--WE so habitually impute thought to
animals that we come uncOnsciOusly to
look upon them as possessing this pow
err" writes John Burroughs in Har-
per's Magazine. THUS the dog seems
to think about his dinner when prompt
ed by hunger or about his home and his
master when separated from them. The
bird seems to think about it's mate, its
nest, its young, its enemies. The fox
seems to think about the hound that 1t
hears baying upon its track and tries
to elude it; the beaver seems to think
about its dam, the muskrat about its
house in the fall, the woodpecker about
the cell In the dozy limb which it will
need as a lodging place in the winter
that Is, all these creatures act as II
they thought. We know that under
similar conditions we think, and there
fore we impute thought to them. But
of mental images, concepts, processes
like our own, they probably have none.
Innate or inherited impulse, which we
call instinct, and outward stimuli e1-
plain most of the actions of the anil

The Mygale Tarantula.

The Mygale tarantula sometimes
spreads over six inches square, but
more frequently four or five inches. A
shaggy coat Of hair covers the surface
Of the great spider. 1t is supplied with
six long, bony legs and two dangerous
pedipalps, or strikers, each armed with
a sharp sting and poison sac. The
strikers are frequently mistaken for
two long legs, and from this arises the
idea that the creature has stings on its
feet. Two powerful projections, re-
sembling jaws, protrude from the head.
Under each Of these is a curved poison
fang, similar to cats claw, but longer
Exactly like those Of rattlesnake),
which may be lifted, extended and
hooked into the victim. A person thus
stung or bitten must cut the tarantula
away at once, for the spider does not
seem willing to unlock its fangs.
