ANIMALS AND DEATH.
The Differe-eo Betwecn Wild Beasts
and Domestic Species.

anc Domestic Species.
Animals realize intuitively when
death is near. Most animals, ex-
cepting pet animals, who are assured
of what one might call a Christian
burial in the back yard, have prompt
extinction and no flowers to look
forward to, for haven't they often
come across the bones of their once
loved mates slowly whitening under
the blue of heaven?
Savage beasts actually prepare"
for death with a fine composIre I'M
Swallowed by any possibility of sub
sequent will contests" So called
domestic animals, while not showing
the fear characteristic of their mas
tiers, become strangely clinging and
dependent and seem to dread sep
aration from the human beings to
whom they are attached.
1t is natural for most wild ami
mails to die in combat With an enc
my, and while the combat lasts
there is hope of escape.
When number of elephants are
shipped strong structure is erected
on deck, and there they are stabbed,
chained by the feet. In an emergen-
cy they could easily walk away with
their chains and the deck flooring,
throwing the stable aside if it offer
ed any impeachment to their progress,
as was shown in the case>of the sink
ing of the ship Agra some years
since. The Agra was swinging at
anchor off Ceylon preparatory to
her journey to America when she
sprung leak and quickly sank. The
elephants set up a call, but there
was no despair in the noise that fol-
lowed. 1t was the businesslike
sound of crashing timber, and be-
fore the Agra had reached bottom q
herd of elephants were swimming
to Ceylon.
NJ. Jules Gerard, a great French
student of animals, tells Of lion
which, having fallen into a great
ditch that had been dug for him, re-
signed himself after several inef-
fectual efforts to escape. He heard
the cries of delight of the men who
saw him trapped. He understood
that he was lost-that he was about
to die an ignominious and defense
less death.
But it was his way to receive the
injuries that were to come to him
without sound of protest. After
taking dozen bullets without NOV
ing he lifted his fine head with a
majestic movement to cast look of
scorn' on the Arabs who we're aim
ing at him their final shots. Then
he lay down resigned to death.

Veterans of the Civil War are are
dying now at the rate of 100 day,
according to the records of the
United States pension office. The
reports for several months past
have shown the death rate among
the neighborhood of 3 900 a month.
Pension Office officials who have
watched the figures closely and
know the tendency of the death
rate are of the opinion that the
number of Civil War pensioners
has reached the maximum and
that hereafter each succeeding
month will show a decrease. The
number of veterans will decrease,
OF course, but pensions will 60 on

The editor II this paper attended
church some time ago. We enjoyed
the singing and stood up with the
brethren and sisters while they sang
the good old hymn, "Shall We Know
Each Other There?" While the hymn
was being sung we glanced about us
and counted about dozen members
of the congregation and of the church,
who do not speak to each other when
they meet on the streets, or elsewhere.
The thought occurred to us, why should
they know each other there" when
they seemingly don't know each other
here.-Grast Co. (Oka) Vidette.

Delaware and Maryland peach
growers are III dumps, and with
good reason. The recent continued
rains have ruined at least half of
the fruit on the trees. At the
beginning of the season it was
thought that Delaware would
market at leaet 5000, 900 baskets,
now it is said that if the growers
get out 100000 baskets they will
be doing we'll. Not only has the
the quantity been reduced by at
least one-half, but the quality of
the peaches is not good, hence low
prices are looked for.
