A Flock Of Terms Rescue q Wounded
Mate From Its Hunter.
Stories Of affection and apparent rea-
son among Wild animals have divided
the mature writer's into two schools.
one believes that animals act merely
from instinct; the other holds that the
dumb brute feels and reasons. In
sThe Life Of a Scotch Naturalist Mr..
Smiles quotes from the journal of
Thomas Edwards the story Of how q

broken wing, screaming as he fell into
the water. The report Of the gun, to-
gether with his cries, brought together
the party he had left, in order that they
might ascertain the cause OF the alarm.
After surveying their wounded BROTH

unwittingly toward the shore with the
flowing tide, they came flying in body
to the spot where stood, and rent the
air with their screams. These they

SOFT-GiOuND HORSESHOE.

Quite a demand has recently arisen
Tor soft-ground horseshoes-tha is,
broad, fat shoes which, owing to their

has recently been invented, which is
SO designed that it can be easily re-
versed. The advantage of this de-
