THE WORST OF ANIMALS.
A Striking Portrait OF Man With
Schopenhauer's Corplir,ents


Sehopenhauer's Compliments.
Man is the only animal which causes
pain TO others without any further pur-
pose than just to cause II. Other ami
mails never do 1t except TO satisfy their
hunger or in the rage OF combat. No
animal ever torments another for the
mere purpose Of tormenting, but man
does Ii, and IL is this that constitutes
that diabolical feature in his character
which is so much worse than the mere
~ animal. / have already spoken OF
the matter in its broad aspect. but II is
manifest even in small things. and
every reader has daily opportunity of
observing 1t. For Instance. II two LITTLE
dogs are playing together-and what n
GENIAL and charming sight Il Island
child OF three or four years Joins
them, 1t Is almost inevitable for # tn
begin hitting them with n whip or
suck and thereby show itself, even Mt
that age, the worst OF animals. The
love OF teasing and plays,g tricks.
winch Is common enough, may be trac-
ed TO the same source. For Instance if
man has expressed his ANNOYANCE nj
any interruption or other petty incon-
venience, there will be no lack Of peo-
pie who for that very reason will bring
IL about. This Is so certain that man
should be careful not to express any
annoyance at small evils. On the other
nand, ne should also be careful not 10
express his pleasure at any trifie. for
u ne GOES so, men will act like the
Jalier' who. when he found that his
prisoner had performed the laborious
task or tanning spider and took n
pleasure In watching 1t, immediately
crushed 1t under his foot. This Is wby
all animals are instinctively afraid OF
tne sight or even of the track OF n
man, that animal mechant par excel
renee Nor does their instinct play
s nen iaise. Tor II is mau alone who
huats game for which he has no usc
and which does him no harm.-schn-
