ANIMALS WEAPONS.
ToothIess Ant Eaters Have Claw
Capable Of Killing a Man.

Not long ago a British scientist
and animal lover contributed to the
world the result of his studies OF
animal life. Not the least interest
ing of his observations was "How
Animals Defend Themselves"
"The larger animals in general
he says, "arS provided with weapon;
more or less effective. The carniv.
ora have sharp teeth, with which
they rend their prey, and the tooth.
less ant eaters have enormous
claws, capable of killing a man.
'Many reptiles use their tales tc
strike down their game, while 6

tons that are equally potent as 8
defense. In certain groups we find
enormous horns and tusks that are
intended entirely for purposes Of
protection. In some cases they art
upon the top of the head, as in
COWS or oxen. Again, as in the ele.
plant or some cetaceans, they are
highly developed teeth.
"Our common horned animals
depend upon their head weapons
for defense. They are of two dis.
tinct kinds and subject to a marvel.

common COW, is called the hollow

"Another great group, represent.
ed by the deer, have solid horns
that are cast at certain times and
grow again very rapidly.
"When q stag loses its horns il
retires to the dense woods, away
from its kind, and remains secluded
until it is armed again. The growth
of the new horn is very rapid.
ON the rhinoceros we find a Gu.
rious arrangement, the horns in
some being easily moved, seeming
ly only held by the skin. They
form terrible weapons, however
though totally different in Their
construction from the ivory tusks
of the elephant, with which they
are often matched, being formed Of
hairy, fiberlike matter. Some spe-
cies have a single horn, while Others
have two"

Why Elsie Was Sent to Bed.

While little Elsie's elder sister,
May, was entertaining her latest ac-
QUESTION, a most dignifed and gen.
teel young man, in the parlor Elsie
was relegated to the dining room to
play with her doll.
This particular one, the possessor
of a kid body and bisque head, had
been somewhat ailing of late, owing
to the fact that its head was grad
ually becoming detached and it's
pivotal eyes refused to perform
their functions Of opening and
closing. After considerable prob
ing for the cause of the trouble
Elsie made the discovery that there
was something inside of it and final
ly succeeded in extracting a large
roll Of tightly curled hair. A mo-
ment later she burst into the par
lor in a great state Of excitement
and shouted:

was sickl Look what was in her
stummick! She must have swallow

Fhe Wends.

In outward appearance thu
Wends are throughout a powerful
healthy and muscular race, whose
men are coveted for the conscrip
ton. The first Napoleon's famous
"Bourhers Saxons"-the Saxon dra-
goons-were nearly all Wends. And
in the present day it is the Wcnds
who contribute the lions share of
recruits to the Saxon household reg
iments. Their women are priced
throughout Germany as nurses.
They are all well built, well shaped,
rich in muscle and nimble in mo-
ton, like the Lacedaemonian wom-
en- Of old. Next to stature, the
most distinctive external feature of
the race is their national dress,
which, as in most cases, survives
longest and in its most characteris-
tic form among women. AS be-
tween different districts it varies
very markedly, but throughout it
has some common features.-Lon-

The Welsh Note.

Here is what the Rev. John
Evans tells us in reference to the
way in which English was taught
in Wales in the eighteenth century:
"This school had several features
unknown in the Welsh school of to-
day. The Welsh note was one in
dispensable feature. This secured
English conversation. 1t was
smooth piece of wood, like fiat
inch rule, with the letters w. ~
carved on it. When any one was
caught speaking Welsh the Welsh
note was Immediately handed to
him, but the hand which held it at
the end of the lesson was the one
made to tingle in consequence, so
it was a common occurrence for the
child who had it to move about
from pew to pew, craftily tempting
Others to speak Welsh. This sign
Of guilt therefore often changed
hands until at last it rested in that
which had to bear the burden OF all
the transgressions of that law"

THE ATTIC INSTINCT.
Why Some Persons Cling TO Things
That Are Rubbish.

That Are Rubbish.
The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisingly, and an observing eye can
tell how many years a person has
lived in the city by merely glancing
under her bed. If there are thee
hat boxes one will contain letters,
one scraps Of ribbons and laces-if
it's man it's newspaper clippings
and one anything from a broken
lock to old road maps. II, besides
these, there are bundles of maya
zines and piles of newspapers, not
to mention a bicycle seat and
green umbrella that one might use
in private theatricalsAif all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests Of the fam
lily, if they are patiently moved
every cleaning day and chung to
through a moving, then their own
ers have the attic instinct to such an
extent that there is not the slight
est hope of their ever being cured.
They will think from an attic point
Of view for the rest Of their lives,
and their family might as well be-
come resigned.
When people are willing to make
themselves disagreeable over a bit
of string and absolutely objectiona-
bic on the subject of stray pieces Of
brown paper they should not be ac-
cused of having bad dispositions,
nor should they be suspected of do
ing it to annoy one. They are
merely suffering from the attic in
stinct and cannot help themselves.
Their characters were formed and
have now hardened for a scheme of
life where certain things were al
WAYS kept in the cellar, others in
the wood shed, others in the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor,
still Others in 1.-THE closets on the
next floor. and everything and any
thing that oyerhowed from any of
these places was just taken up to
the attic. And now these poor dear
souls live with cellar, three stories
and an attic still lodged in their
minds, and, though they will in
time disappear, like all unnecessary
members-scventh toe, tails, an APP
pendix-in the meantime they are
having trouble with them, they are
suffering and fighting for them, and
it takes a serious operation to re-
move so much as one scrap book if
the owner thinks he may like to
read it over in his old age.-Har-
