WHY THE HORSE SHIES
' !
Sensible Explanation of the Habits
. of Well-Known Animals.
I>r. Louis Robiuson, an English zool
ogist, has just given to the world an
account of the habits and mode of life
of certain animals, and the conclusion
at which he seemi to arrive is that all ;
suoti phenomena may be explained on
the ground of atavaism. Thus he
claims that the horse of our day de
rives his swiftness and power of en
durance from the fact that his ances
tors in former days were obliged to
flee from and frequently to defend
theiuseivesnagniust their great enemies
—the wolves. In like manner lie
claims that the reason that the horse
■hies is because his ancestors were
forced to be constantly on the alert
against hidden enemies, and that the
reason that he rears and plunges Is
because only by pursuing such actics
could his forefathers shake off wild
minimis who bad leaped upon their
backs.
Sheep when frightened immediately
rush off to the highest point they can
reach. The reason, says Dr. ltobinson,
is because aK sheep originally inhab
ited ipountnluous districts. And this,
he claims, is also the reason why they
wear a thick fleece of wool all the year
through, the summer temperature in
mountainous districts being almost as
cold as that of winter. Finally, we are
assured that the reason sheep invaria
bly follow a leader is because their an
cestors were obliged togo in Indian
file through the narrow mountainous
passes.
Pigs have also engaged Dr. Robin
sou's attention. He was puzzldfl for a
good while as to the cause of their
grunting, says the Chicago Tillies-
Herald, but now he thinks he has dis
covered the real reason. The pigs of
to-day. he says, evidently grunt be
cause their ancestors made their
homes in thick woods, and only by
maklug this sound could they keep
track of each other and gua'd them
selves against going astray from the
common herd. CoinmnntiuK on cnis
! latter explauatkM. a scirntlst suggests j
1 that Dr. Robinson might now do well |
to spend some time in trying to tiud j
I out why the horse neighs and why the j
, dog barks.
Well-Dressed Mao Arouses Sympathy [
The generosity supposed to be hid- I
den under the maak of the ancient j
highwayman is sometimes present un- |
der the rags of his modern edition, the j
street tramp. A well-dressed man,'
who had just left the ferry house in
New York after crossing the river, ■
started to pick his way through the ]
mud of the crossing. His patent leath- .
era, his silk hat and his shining even- j
ing dress made him an obvious prey |
for the tattered dock bandit, who \
slouched up to him with the usual
piteous cry for help to gat a night's j
lodging.
i "My dear fellow," said the well-'
dressed man with a sudden instinct of :
frankness, "I'm in my store clothes, j
but the fact is I've got to walk up ■
town because I haven't a nickel to pay •
my car fare."
"Is that so?" said the other In an ex- i
cited whisper. "Well, it ain't goin' to ;
be said I left a parti in the lurch when
he was dead broke."
And putting his hand into his rags,
he hauled up a bewildering heap of
silver and offered anything the other
wanted.
The "pard" burst iuto a shout of
laughter and insisted ou shaking bunds
with the beggur, though he refused the
nickel. And all through his trudge
home he had plenty of food for
thought, humorous and otherwise.
An Expert. Swordfluli
Hank Carruthers. of Block Island,
R. 1., an old-time fisherman, last year
caught a young sword fish, not more
than two leet long, which had refused
to leave the dead body of its mother,
which of- had harpooned after an ex
citing fight. The young fish survived
the transportation to a tidal pond be
hind the Carruthers homestead and the
entrance to the pond was closed with
a net to prevent his escape. Since thon
Mr. Carruthers has tamed the fish so
that It will fe«d from his hand, and the
neighbors had become so accustomed
to the sight that they did not notice it
any more. Last month a French gen
tleman, who la a well known fencing
teacher. M. Tierce, had been train
ing the flsh furtively. He had made a
soft pad of leather, which he adjusted
on the tip of his sword, like the button
on a foil, and the two gave an exhibi
tion bout of fencing which could not
be equalled for nicety of action and
correctness of dash in the Fencers'
Club. The fifth apparently knows all
the rules of the game and carefully re
frains from committing fouls. He cuts
and slashes swiftly, and several times
he caught M. Tierce unawares, says the
New York Press, and nearly transfixed
hlu. Tlic Fienchmiin iias ottered Mr.
Carruthers a large sum of money for
the flsh which he wishes to exhibit.
Hot Ratlis.
Here Is a point that English folks
mlKht learn from the Japanese. The
liwson we are inclined, in this country,
to catch ci M ut'ter taking a hot bath
in the daytime. Is i hat-we do not take
it hot enougli. If only you have the
water aB near boiliug point as possible,
there is no fear of your getting cold
afterward. The Japanese revel in
thece hot tubs, says Chambers' Jour
nal. They take them three and four
times a day. In some districts of Ja
pan. I believe, the people are amphlh
ous; for months at a time they live
(radically iu the water. A Japanese

■it tlie outset of our conversation for
'jtlng so uunmnnerly and dirty, for he
had only bad time to take two hot
baths that day.

Let an EXPERT BUGGY MAKER I
Give you some IMCffW L'AfT^
Mr. F. L. Shaw, manager JL JL Ja/ /Jw/3 ll*, JL '
of our vehicle interests, bought
two buggies from the same house the other day. One cost £IB.OO more than the other. Then he took the buggies
all apart to see just why one was higher priced than the other. Here is what he found out:
Both buggies had exactly the same seat and back, same size body, same wheels, shafts and everything else, except
that the higher priced one had 14-oz. cloth trimmings instead of Kcratol, found in the cheaper ; a leather boot, instead
of rubber ; a better axle, and the finish on the woodwork was slightly better, but not very much.
Read the difference —and learn how easily price can be raised without changing the grade, in a buggy.
