Tho rapidity with wh:ch tho dif-

reference to such works ai that of
Sir Coruwallis Harris written in
l'4). in which the author tells us
that the quagga whs i t the time
found in 'interminable herds" bands
oi many hundreds being frequently
ven while he doscribLM l.urcheU's
zob a as congregating in hrds of
eighty or one hundred and abound-
ing to a great extent; but now after
the expiration of about fifty yt'avs
the ono species is extinct or practical-
ly so. while the other ha been drivua
much farther afield and its numbers
are yearly being reduced.
This author's description of the
common zebra is well wurth repeat-
ing says the Saturday Review. He
says: "Seeking the wildest and most
sequestered spots haughty troops
are exceedingly difficult to approach
as well on account of their extreme
agility and fleetness of loot as from
the abrupt and inaccessible nature
of their highland abode. Under the
special charge of a sentinel so
posted ot. some adjacent crag as to
command a view of every avenue of
approach the checkered herd whom
painted skins adorn is to bo viewed
perambulating some rocky ledge on
which the rifle ball alone can reach
them- No sooner has the note of
alarm been sounded by the vidette
than pricking their long ears the
whole flock hurry forward to ascer-
tain the nature of the approaching
danger and having eazed a moment
at the advancing hunter whisking
their brindled tails aloft helter-skelter
away they 'thunder down craggy
precipices and over yawning ravines
where no less agile foot could follow
them. "
Of Burchell's zebra he says:
"Fierce strong fleet and surpassing-
ly beautiful there is perhaps no
quadruped in the creation not even
excepting the mountain zebra more
splendidly attired or presenting a
picture of more singularly attractive
beauty. Zeb.aa are by no meant
amiable animals and though many
of the stories told of their ferocity
are doubtless much exaggerated
they have so far not proved theuv-
elves amenable to domestication.

IT KILLED HIS NERVE.
Experience With Woman Cared Ulm ot
the Book Agency Fever.
The man had answered an "agents
wanted" notice in person and when
he found it was to sell a book he
backed away.
"Why don't you want it?" asked tho
chief. "You can do well with it."
"No I can't" h- replied firmly.
"Ive got gall enough and know how
to talk but not for books. I've lo3t
my nerve in that line. I use! to ba
right spry but about two years ago I
went out with a book of interest to
women just to fill in a w jek of spare
time I had and got a set-bask. The
first house I struck was preside 1 over
by a woman who w m about the
scrawniest specimen I ever saw.
" 'Uood morning miss I saya to
her thinking the 'miss' would catch
her which it did temporarily. 'I have
bere a book which I'm su e will inter-
est you. It is just wliat yon want;
tells you how to remove wrinkles and
traces of age; how to make a thin
scrawny neck plump and firm; how to
cultivate a perfect complexion; how to
restore an old face to youth; how to
turn gray hair back to its original
color; how to make a bad figure per-
fect: how to develop sunken cheeks
round and full; how to snaps the
limbs hands and feet; how to make
thin ha'r grow; how to make women
beautiful; how to' and right there f
stopped. I don't know what made bm
do it but something In heir expression
warned me so to speak and all at
once it struck me that what I was
talking about and what that woman
waa didn't coincide exactly and I had
put my foot in' it. ' Anyhow somehow
I got out of there In a wretched condi-
tion and since that fatal moment le
had no heart in selling books. Wet
much' and he Walked out.'

CHIOAGO AND ITS BATTLE'.
A Century and a Ila'f Before the Cltf
Waa Located.
"In the year 1685." Tonly says in
his memoir. --I arrived at the fort of
Chicago where M. De la DuranUiye'
commanded." This was the first foi
here of which we have aoy account
Edward G. Mason wr.tet .n the New
ngland Magazine and was probably
a stockade structure constructed by'
Durautayo in Tooty also
marched from the Illinois with six-
teen Frenchmen and two hundred In-
dians to take part in this campaign.'
and according to one account he came1
by the way of Chicago and ihustored
some recruits here perhaps from the'
garrison of the fort lie led his part
across the country to Detroit when
he met Durantaye and two other fa-
mous pioneers. La Fo'ret arid Daniel
Greysolon Lu Lhut from whom the
present city of Duluth takes its namo.
They bad a large body of French and
Indians from the Upper lake's and the'
united foroe pushed on to Niagara ana
joined the governor general's arm '
at the rendezvous oi the southern
shore of Lake Ontario near the Seneoaf
country. Two thousand . five hundred
men marched through the wllderaesa
toward the great town of the Seneoae
with Durantaye. Tonty and LhuV an I
their couries de bo is in the van. In" .
the narrow deSle the advance sep-
arated from the main body came'
upon an ambush of three hundred
Indian warriors who closed upon their
rear with yells of triumph thinking
this detachment to be the whole
army. But better leaders for such af fray
there foutd not be than these'
three intrepid Frenchmen who held
their wood rangers steaiily to their
work until uddenly through tbt
forest oame the main body headed by -four
companies of the fihllog- 1
Carignan regiment and the Senecas -suddenly
abandoned the field. Their
great town was taken and destroyed
and down to our own time their da-
acenJants knew the soene of their'
Crushing defeat by the' French as Vfy-
godiyu. or The Placa of a tattle."
