Deer Hunting Danger.

So many deer hunters have been
killed by mistake in Vermont and
other states, bill has been intro
duced in the Vermont Legislature
to require hunters to be garbed in
bright red clothing. Since the in
vention of high-power rifles deer
hunting has become more hazardous
because of shooting at long range.
when hunters are prone To shoot at
at distance that resem-
bles a deer. A good many deer
hunters in the Northwest have
adopted the custom of wearing q red
cap. which is easily distinguished at
a distance, in order that the danger
of being mistaken for a deer as they
move about in the woods and bushes
may be lessened. Nashville Banner.

IS wsEsr or ALL ANIMALS
Elephants Growth In Bulk Has Been
Accompanied by Growth In His
Brain Power.

The elephant is unique among
the beasts Of great bulk in the fact
that his growth in size has been ac-
companied by growth in brain
power. With other beasts growth in
bulk Of body has not been accompan-
MED by similar growth of mind. In
deed, sometimes there seems to have
been mental retrogression. The rhi-
noceros, in several different forms, is
found in the same regions as the
elephant, and in one of its forms it
is in point of size second only to
the elephant among terrestrial ami
mails. Seemingly the ancestors OF
the two creatures, in that period,
separated from us by uncounted
hundreds of thousands of years,
which we may conveniently desig-
nate as late miocene or early plio-
Gene, were substantially equal in
brain development. But in one case
increase in bulk seems to have in
duced lethargy and atrophy Of brain
power, while in the other case brain
and body have both grown. AT any
rate the elephant is now one of the
wisest, and the rhinoceros one of
the stupidest of big mammals. In
consequence the elephant outlasts the
rhino, although he is the largest,
carries infinitely more valuable
spoils and is far more eagerly and
persistently hunted.

THE EASY WAY.

Percy D. Haughton, the Harvard
football coach, was praising, at
Oceanville, Me-, a new half-back.
"He's a novice" said the noted
coach, "but he plays like a veteran.
To the clever, you see, everything
comes easy, Like the story of Tom
and Bill, you know.
"Tom and Bill grew up in the
same town. Tom was clever and
lazy, Bill an industrious plodder.
"Tom is still shiftless, | sup
pose? said an old resident, ON re-
turning to the town after 20 years
absence. and poor old Bill is dead,
eh, and he's left over a millionp
"'Yes, that's right a native re-
piled. But the latest news about
Tom is that he's goin' to marry
Bills widder.'"

TRUE BEAUTY.

Beauty rides on a lion. Beauty
rests on necessities. The line of
beauty is the result of perfect econo-
my. The cell of the bee is built at
that angle which gives the most
strength with the least wax; the
bone or quill of the bird gives the
most alar strength with the least
weight. "It is the purgation of su-
perfuities," said Michael Angelo,
There is not a particle to spare in
natural structures. There is a cont
pelling reason IN the uses of the
plant for every novelty of color or
form; and our art saves material
by more skilful arrangement, and
reaches beauty by taking every SUI
perhuous ounce that can be spared
from a wall, and keeping all its
strength in the poetry of columns.
In rhetoric, this art of omission is a
chief secret of power, and, in gen.
eral, it is proof of high culture to
say the greatest matters in the sim
plest way.-Emerson.
