cHIvALRY OF THE ANIMALS
Human Trait That 10 Shown In Their
Attitude Toward the Young and
the Weak.

One of the most interesting Of all
the human traits In the animals is
that of chivalry, as shown by the ami.
mails in their attitude toward the
young and weak 1t Is an unwritten
law In the animal world that the
young have rights which must he re-
spected. This accounts for the un-
usual sight, sometimes seen, when a
fierce dog who has thrashed every
other dog In the peighborhood, and
has become terror to every upstart
IN puppydom, will turn tail and fee
in an apparent terror when a young
dog or kitten is presented to him.
The maternal and paternal instincts
are among the strongest of all. Par
ents will grieve over the loss of the
young, but they apparently have no
conception of death. There is deep
sympathy, or something very close to
1t among animals. A cry of distress
from fellow-beast or bird in trouble
will bring others from all directions.
There Is a powerful instinct on the
part of all animals to protect the
young when in trouble. Hogs and cat
tie are among the most dangerous OF
domestic animals when aroused; the
surest way to arouse them Is to in
jure their young. Let bird utter a
call for help, and instantly the air
around will be filled with feathered
champions~of the victim.

The rains we have had during the
past week have made the roads very
muddy with the result that travel is
irksome on all mud or clay roads. On
gravel and other improved stretches OF
road the rain had little or no effect.
But in spite of the disagreeable feat
ure of muddy roads and consequent dlf'
flculty of travel. The spring rains
were very much needed, the lack oil
snow during the winter let the soil
without the usual or necessary amount
of moisture and the recent rains have
supplied that deficiency leaving the
land in proper condition for agricultur-
al purposes.

CONCRETE TO HOLD A RIVER
Material Used to Patch Holes In Bed
Through Which the Water Period.
ically Vanlshes.

1t has been found necessary to put
another patch on the bed of the Blanco
river, says the Martindale (Tex.) Dis
patch. This stream has a remarkable
way of losing itself, and In order to
restore it to its surface channel, a
concrete patch has been placed upon
the holes through which it disappears.
For many years it has been empty
ing portions of its flow into small
holes in its bed, but it was not until
about q year ago that the entire bot
tom, SO to speak, dropped out at a
point near San Marcos.
In one night the river below that
point went dry. 1t had had width
of nearly 200 feet and was flowing a
strong current until the sudden dis
appearance of the water The drying
up Of the stream meant heavy losses
to persons dependent upon 1t for water
supply.
Civil engineers were consulted in re-
gard to restoring the flow, and it was
decided to patch the hole into which
the water was emptying. This was
done at a heavy expense.
A few days ago the river wore an
other big hole through the bed twenty
miles northeast of here and the same
method of patching is being followed.

Life Of Wooden Ships.
The old wooden ships, though they
often enjoyed very long life, usually
began to decline in utility quickly
enough. The Betsy Cairns, for in
stance. which began life as British
royal yacht, had gradually slipped
down the social scale to the status OF
a COT sting collier when she was
wrecked, and all the other centenarian
vessels met similar fate. The old
East India company reckoned the life
of it's vessels as four voyages, which
occupied eight years, and 1t was very
rare indeed for one to leave port more
than six times under the company's
