"Animate at War," is the subject of
a bright and very interesting paper in
Pearson's Magazine by an observant
naturalist. Dr. Ixmis Robinson who
gives many particulars about their
fighting and weapons. "Horses, as a
rule, when fighting among themselves,
use their teeth more than their heels.
A gentleman who witnessed a furious
combat between two Arab stallions
informed me that not once did they
attempt to kick one another with their
hind hoofs, but each made persistent
attempts to seize his opponent by the
neck with his powerful teeth. They
continually reared up, in order to pre-
vent this attack succeeding, and, when
in that position, struck out at one an-
other with their front hoofs like a
couple of pugilists. Hence it would
appear as if a smashing blow with the
hind hoof, propelled by the enormous-
ly powerful muscles of the thigh, is
rather a method of dealing with ex-
ternal enemies than of settling ques-
tions of equine precedence. Appar-
ently one chief use of a horse's mane
and the thick gristly 'crest' which
gives the splendid arch to the nape
of his neck, is to provide mechanical
protection when the males engage in
trial by battle and grip one another
with their powerful teeth. The fact
that the 'crest' is much more promi-
nent In stallions than in mares sup-
ports this view. Among c* nivorous
quadrupeds mere mechanical protec-
tion against injury from rivals of their
own kind, although comparatively
rare, Is not unknown. Thus the splen-
did inane of the lion appears to bo
chiefly useful in partially shielding
his neck and shoulders from the teeth
and claws of rivals. The tiger, on the
contrary, although armed with w ap-
ons every whit as formidable as those
of the lion appeals to be able to s't-
tle all questions of precedence without
protective armour. As a rule, the car-
nlvora, owing to the needs of their
daily life, are such adepts in the art
of killing that if they fought among
themselves In the uncompromising
manner of bulls or gam** cocks, they
would soon become extinct after the
manner of Kilkenny cats. The same
may be said of most of the apes, who
are armed with long sharp teeth, al-
most as formidable as the tusks of the
boar. With the exception of the male
orang-outang, which has an extensive
grisly ridge round his face, and folds
of loose skin beneath his throat, very
few of the quadrumana seem to pos-
sess any mechanical means of protec-
tion from the murderous fangs of their
fellows. Among certain of the Amer-
ican monkeys, as among the majority
of mankind, the voice seems largely
to have supplanted teeth and nails in
the settlement of civil differences This
Is also true of most cats, where a fu-
rious duel Is productive of much cry.
a very little wool and a total absence
of corpses."
Country Life Promotes Civilisation.
Among the latest to join the ranks
of those who think that a bucolic ex-
istence is conducive to the best results
of civilization is Rider Haggard. He
is now busily employed, not in the cre-
ation of a new novel, but in trying to
master agricultural problems. Mr.
Haggard Is now living on his farm at
Dltchingham, In Norfolk, and will
shortly start out to make a tmir of
Ireland and Scotland for the purpose
of studying agricultural methods and
conditions in those two countries. A
tall, handsome felllow Is Rider "Hag-
gard, in his forty-first year, bearded
and powerfully built, with the appear-
ance «»f a man capable of doing many
years of good work yet. Mr. Haggard
may be considered as anything but a
lazy man Hesides looking after his
200-acre farm, he is chairman of the
local bench of magistrates, and at the
same time 16 probably doing more lit-
erary work than.at any previous part
of his career. His country house is
an ancient, red-brick ivy-covered

GOOD LUCK IN BAD ERRORS.
Urtst l'roflts H»*« SoiuftliiiM K«<sultrd
From Ssemlujc MUtakes.
Mistakes are not always unprofit-
able. Sometimes they turn out to be
the most fortunate things that could
have happened. When Orme won the !
Eclipse stakes at Sandown eight years
ago the prince of Wales sent his friend
Mr. Courthope to lay a bet on a horse
called Orvieto. Hut Mr. Courthope j
misunderstood the name and placed j
the prince's money on Orme. When
Orme came in a good winner the
prince thought, of course, that he had
lost, instead of which he had won ,
$50,000. A lucky mistake was that I
which resulted in the opening of the '
famous Niersfontein gold mine In
South Africa and the making of $30,- j
000,000. It was an error that saved a
score of people from ruin and made .
wealthy many of them, for the orig-
inal intention of twenty poor men who
were seeking fortune was to buy a ,
mine called the Rensnek farm. The j
prospectors who examined this farm j
found that it gave great promise of a
rich mine, and they commissioned an t
agent to buy it for $6,000. The agent,
however, got mixed and made a hope-
; less blunder through not knowing the
district well. He bought another place
called Niersfontein for the prospectors,
and the money was paid over before
the dismayed gold seekers found they
were let in for a place they did not
want. They refused to accept the deal,
but the money had been paid and re-
traction was impossible. Worst of all,
some outside people profited by the
error and snapped up the coveted
Rensnek. Before going to law to re-
pudiate the transaction the little com
pany had a look at the despised Niers-
fontein place, and on giving a trial to
it they found it worth while to hang
on. The other place—the Rensnek—
gave out within a fortnight and ruined
the company which had bought It.
| while the Niersfontein became a mag-
nificent mine and has yielded over
$u0.000,000.

Virtue* of Turtles.
Doctor Yerkes of Harvard Univers-
ity, in experimenting with the turtle,
has discovered that it is a model of
patience and persistency. It rises su-
perior to great obstacles. The Pru-
dential Record gives certain results of
his observations: The doctor arranged
a box with various obstacles between
the extreme corners, in one of which
was a dark nest. At the end farthest
from the nest he placed a turtle. The
animal wandered around for thirty-
five minutes before finding what it
wanted; but after it once knew the
route it began to Improve on its rec-
ord. In fnct. the fiftieth trip was
made in thirty-five seconds. More dif-
ficult labyrinths were arranged, and
the turtle again showed that when
once It knew its way it went as
straight as possible to its destination.
If it ot lost, it would go back to the
starting point and begin over again.
All these things show that the turtle
has some points which everybody
might copy with profit. For instance,
its way of making its record better
with every effort is entirely commend-
able. Its habit, when lost, of going
back to the starting point and begin-
ning over again can also be warmly
commended.—Youth's Companion.
Municipal Own nrfthl|».
Municipal ownership of public util-
ities seems to be making more rapid
i rogn s< in England than in the United
States, though perhaps more progress
here than most people are aware of.
A recent report by a parliamentary
commissioner, which is as fair and
thorough a means of obtaining facts
as any that exists, shows that 232
towns and cities in the United King

considerable size, though not the larg-
est, like London, Liverpool, Dublin,
etc. In respect of service and finan-
cial results a comparison Is decidedly
