Tennyson and the Horse.

Tennyson once arrived at Haslemere
station carrying a parcel of hooks, and
as his own carriage had not arrived to
meet him he was glad to accept the
offer OF life home Going up the
steep hill to Breakdown. Tennyson.
with his characteristic consideration
for animals, suggested that they and
the books were too heavy for the pony
to drag. The two men therefore got
out and walked for some distance in
front Of the trap, until they discovered
that the books had dropped out The
owner Of the pony asked Tennyson to
stand ut the animals head while he
went back for the books. These he
found hundred yards or more down
the hill. and on his return he found the
pony had been FESTIVE. but had quickly
become quiet Knowing that It dislik-
ed strangers. he wondered how Mr..
Tennyson had kept 1t quiet What
was his surprise to learn that the poet
had managed the affair by holding Q
watch close to the animals ear.

The elephant has no cutting teeth.

molars. These molars or grinders as
they wear away gradually move for

The same molar can thus be replaced
as many as eight times. The tusks.

teeth. can be renewed only once This
wearing process and the election OF the
stump OF the tooth go on very slowly
during the life Of the elephant Only
one or two teeth at time are In use
or in view in each jaw. There are al
ways other teeth waiting to pass for

THE same is absolutely true of chill

children, one does not mean liberty TO
run counter TO the public opinion OF
the family; for the family's greatest
good certain things must happen every
day in every household Everyone
must get up in the morning, battle and
dress; meals must be eaten with more
or less regularity, certain work per.
formed, and again everyone must go
to bed.
THE less a child has to discuss
these necessary acts of life with any
one the more free he is in the true
sense of the term. A man who is at
odds with the public opinion OF his
community concerning elementary de-
cency is not free at all; he must spend
all his time in fighting. The whole of
the civilized world is agreed that one
may not snatch another mans belong
ings from him; that certain acts of
rudeness, If they interfere with other
peoples liberty, aust not happen. So
universal are these beliefs, from
China to Russia, that any grown per-
son who violates them is thought in
sane.
