AN ARMY or PECCARTES.
Fierce Fighters Are These Tusked Wild
Pigs OF South America.

The peccaries of South America are
formidable because they attacked their
enemies in large bodies and with great
skill of their charges suggest that they
are led by chiefs skillful enough in
predatory warfare to direct the sur
rounding and destruction of powerful
iaguar.
The object to be stormed is surround
ed in silence by circle Of hundreds of
peccaries. At given signal stimuli
taneous swapping of teeth occurs,
which is followed by a cOnyerging rush
toward the center. The largest and
strongest reach the front first, and the
smallest and weakest bring up in the
rear Those in front are pushed on by
the mass in the rear, so that the enemy
is constantly confronted by a rank Of
foes, no matter how many he may
have disabled.
An American engineer while survey
ing a Brazilian forest for railway
route encountered herd of peccaries
one night and with difficulty drove
them of. His experience affords an
illustration of the bravery of these
wild pigs.
One day he and his party came upon
a morass. the furrowed ground, trod-
den grass, turbid pools and pigsty
odor of which indicated that it was the
headquarters of all the peccaries In the
vicinity But not pig was to be seen.
The camp was fortified. In the night
there came an alarm. Suddenly from
all around rose the sound of simuta-
neous swapping OF teeth, and then
came the charge of hundreds Of black
animals rushing toward the fort.
Guns were discharged. and the occu-
pants reached down and slashed with
their knives at the swarming pigs be-
low Numbers of these were cut down
by the men in the fort. but others, inn
PEELED by those in the rear, threw them
selves forward, ripping and slashihg
with their sharp tusks.
Suddenly the attack ceased. The an
finals had silently withdrawn. Then
without a moments warning save the
crash of teeth came another wild
charge. and the fight was renewed.
Again the pigs drew off, and again they
renewed the battle. Seven times they
charged during the night and not until
daybreak was the last grunt heard

How Pulitzer Prepared for Sleep.

In the April American Magazine, there
is an amazing account of the late Joseph
Pulitzer, the blind proprietor OF the New
York World. who spent the last twenty
years OF his life at sea on a private yacht,
where he kept up his work with the as
sstanee OF corps of readers and secre-
taries, whose combined efforts could
scarcely keep pace with the tremendous
intellectual energy and capacity of their
chief Following is an interesting ex'
tract:
After lunch Mr.. Pulitzer always re-
tired to his cabin for a siesta use the
word 'siesta, but, as matter of fact, it
is quite inadequate to describe the pc
culiar function or ceremony for which |
have chosen it as label. What took
place on these occasions was this. Mr..
Pulitzer lay down on his bed, sometimes
in pajamas but more often with only his
coat and his boots removed, and one OF
his secretaries usually the German secre-
tary, sat down in an armchair at the
bedside with pile of books at his elbow.
At word from Mr.. Pulitzer the secre-
tary began to read in clear, incisiye
voice some historical work-Suetonius
Lives. Greens History Macauley's
'Essays'-or some German play OF novel
After few minutes Mr.. Pulitzer would
say. Softly and the secretary's voice
was lowered until though it was still
perfectly audible, it assumed a monot-
onous and soothing quality. After a
while the order came Quite softly, At
this point the reader ceased TO form his
words and commenced to murmm indis-
tinctly, giving an effect such as might
be produced by person reading aloud in
an adjoining room, but with the connect
ing door closed If, after ten minutes OF
this murmuring, Mr.. Pulitzer remained
motionless. It was to be assumed that he
was asIecp; and the secretary's duty was
to 90 on murmuring until Mr.. Pulitzer
awoke and told him to stop or to COM
mence actual reading again. This mur-
lnuring might last for two hours, and i
was very difficult art to acquire. for
at the slightest change in the pitch OF
the voice, at sneeze or a cough, Mr..
Pulitzer would wake with a start. and
an unpleasant quarter OF an hour fol
lowed"

WASTE OF SUPPLIES.
A Business Problem and the Way ons
Factory Solved It.

Factory Solved 1t.
In one manufacturing plant the SUI
perintendent found that his men were
careless with supplies. He decided
that too much material was kept on
hand in the shop. Mechanics found II
an easier matter to throw away slight
ly damaged or spoiled work and begin
on new piece than to take precau-
tons in turning out their work, re-
marks writer in Business. He there
fore devised stores order which made
every foreman responsible for raw ma
teral issued to his department Rev
material could not be had from the
general store except on requisition, and
the general store would honor no requl'
sition unless it was o. KID by the fore
man. These lists were kept on file and
totaled at the end of each month to en-
able the superintendent to make COM
parsons.
This put the foreman on his guard
not to All out a requisition for some
thing which he did not absolutely need,
and the first six months after adopting
this rule expenses in one department
alone were cut nearly 20 per cent with
out sacrificing efficiency. The foreman
also claimed that 1t had tendency to
develop his men into more skilled me-
chanics because they were under the
necessity of accounting for the work
they spoiled in machining.

Concerning the Hair.

Concerning the 7airs
When a girl is brushing her hair she
sometimes comes across a particularly
obstinate snaggle and gives such a pull
that it makes her wish she were bald
like grandfather and didn't have to
have her hair brushed She feels that
if she keeps ON pulling out her hair at
that rate she will soon be bald. But it
would take a great many pullings to
make her bald, for she has thousands
and thousands of hairs.
Some persons have more hairs than
others, and the number varies, it
seems, according TO the color. Light
haired persons, for instance, have be-
tween 10000 and 10000 hairs, and
there is little difference between men
and women. Dark haired persons have
on an average about 10000, and the
red haired have only about 10000,
which means that red hair is much
coarser than other shades. 1t has,
however the virtue of lasting longest,
for a head so covered seldom becomes
bald
