The White Rhinoceros.

The white rhlnoceros Is not much
whittier than the common rhinoceros,
but instead Of ending In triangular
upper lip It's muzzle Is square. The
white rhinoceros is the larges animal
on earth. with the exception Of the
elephant. The common rhinoceros
lives on leaves. roots and bulbs, which
he digs up with his frontal horn. The
common rhinoceros is vicious and
cruel; the white rhlnoceros is calm and
lazy, living exclusively on grass and
heritage. Though long regarded as a
one horned animal, he has two horns.
But. the smaller Of the two. sot back
Of the frontal horn, is so rudimentary
that It is not seen from a distance.
The forward horn is four and one-half
feet In length. and one Of its sides is
nat. Some Of the frontal horns are
grooved. The white rhinoceros close
ly resembles the unicorn OF antique
legends, whose horns, when used as
drinking vessels. sterilized poisons and
rendered them harmless.-IIarper's.

years ago the writer constantly observ-

he found the same combination in

between the hat and occupation, con
victions and recreations. would make
an interesting study. At one time the
politician who wore a white hat pro
claimed himself a Radical. Nowadays
he would probably be suspected as an
old fashioned Tory. Then no self re-

without a tall hat in former days. But
