ANIMALAILS.
figure
work;
The Functions of Those of Cats, Lions
and Jaguars.
A cat never actually wags Its tall.
Why should It when It can pur? But
nevertheless It seems to serve tho samo
purpose In permitting a temporary ex
penditure of excess nervouB energy
when tho animal Is under great strain.
For Instance, when carefully stalking
a bird or a man, ns in the case of a
kitten or a Hon, the tip of tho tall Is
nover still for a moment over curling
and uncurling. We may compare this
to the nervous tapping of the foot or
fingers in a man. When an angry Hon
la roaring his loudest, his tall will fre
quently lash from side to side, giving
rlso nmong tho ancients to tho belief
that he scourged his body with a hook
or thorn which grew from tho end of
tho tall.
When n Jaguar walks along a slen
der bough or n house cat perambulates
tho top of a board fence, we percelyo
another important function of tho tall,
that of an aid In balancing. As a tight
,ropo performer sways his pole, so gtho
follne shifts Its tall to preserve tho
center of gravity.
Tho tall of a sheep seems to be of
llttlo use to Its owner, although In tio
breed which Is found In Asia Minor
and on the tablelands of Tartary, this
organ functions as a storehouse of fat
and sometimes reaches a weight of
fifty pounds. When viewed from bo
hind, tho animal seems all tall, and
when this appendage reaches Its full
slzo It Is either fastened between two
sticks which drag on the ground or It
Is suspended on two small wheels. C.

BUSHRANGERS.
The Most Noted of the Later Day Out
laws In Australia.
Bushrangers were originally run
away convicts who took to tho "bush,"
ns Australians call tho backwoods,
and became holdup men. About tho
year 1830 the bushrangers became bo
numerous that they fought regular en
gagements with posses nnd soldiers
sent out to capture them, and this
form of crime continued sporadically
until within recent years. Tho most
famous of later rangers were the Kel
ly brothers. After many daring crimes
nnd hairbreadth escapes the Kellys
actually hold up tho entire village of
Jerllderie, N. S. W., which hnd a pop
ulation of 200. Ned Kelly looted tho
bank of $10,000, while his three pals
held the men of the village cooped up
In their homes. Although there was a
special bushranglng act In force at tho
time authorizing the detention of per
sons supposed to bo In communication
with tho outlaws, tho Kellys wore not
heard of again for nearly a year, when
they "stuck up" tho small town of
Glenrownn, In Victoria. Here they
wero brought to bay. and three of tho
desperadoes wero shot dead In a house
they had barricaded, while tho leader,
Ned Kelly, was brought to the ground
with a bullet through tho legs. Ho
was hanged In 1SS0. All four of the
men wore In the habit of wearing an
armor made of plowshares and weigh
In? almost a hundred pounds. Now

An Outrageous Slandering.
The public may not know the good
story, which has been a Joy for many
a long day among musicians, which
tells how a celebrated conductor, atl
mired and beloved by every one who
knows him, accused his wife In broken
English, of conduct the roverso of ad
mirable, to put It mildly. Ho was re
fusing an invitation to nn afternoon
party for her on the plea of her deli
cate health, but ho evidently got n lit
tle mixed during bis explanations, for
ho made the following astounding
statement, whlph was news Indeed to
the world In general: "My wife lies In
the afternoon. If she does not He,
then she swindles!"

The Worst Possible Destiny
Is to Be Born Wealthy.
By the Rev. THOMAS B. GREGORY of New York.
" l AKE for yourselves a psychological analysis of tho young
ly I man who is born, as many young mon aro theso days, to
J JL immonso wealth. Look at tho case carefully, and you will
seo how few aro tho chances of his over amounting to
anything. In tho first place, ho is young, and therefore inexperienced
and thoroforo ignorant, sinco all real knowlcdgo comes from experi
ence, from finding out for yourself by actual living "what is what."
In addition to being ignorant that is to say, ignorant of life and
its laws ho knows that thoro i3 no occasion for him to worry about
tho cssontinls of existence or, for that matter, about its luxuries and
pleasures. Ho has plenty of money, and money will buy whatever
onq needs.
Therefore ho is idle. His wealth supplies all of his wants and
gratifies all of his whims, and ho is undor no necessity to labor.
A8 A RULE, HUMAN BEINGS WORK ONLY A3 THEY ARE
FORCED TO, AND POVERTY THE LACK OF MONEY IS ABOUT
THE ONLY THING THAT 18 ABLE TO DO THE FORCING.
But by a law of human nature which is a3 rigid as that of tho
Modes and Porsians tho person who is not busy with somo useful and
honorablo work of mind or hand is sure to be BUSY WITH THAT
WHICH IS HURTFUL AND DISHONORABLE. Tho human
mind cannot bo kept in a state of neutrality or quietude. It must bo
activo, and if it cannot bo active for good it will bo active for evil.
Thoro is no doubt about this. It is as certain as anything can bo
in this world. Tho mind that is not busy for good will bo busy for
evil.
And so wo find our rich young man spending tho energies which
should bo divvctcd in somo useful way along tho lines tha't are sure
sooner or latr to bring him to ruin.
Ho must tspond his time somehow ho has no livelihood to earn
and so ho spen'ld it in dissipation. Tho dissipation wrecks his moral
nature, and before he is fairly aware of it ho is a criminal. Such is
the whole stor. in a nutshell.
Thoro is no magic about it. Tho wholo thing to him who under
stands tho law governing human nature is AS PLAIN" AS THE
way notr:.
HENCE IT WILL BE SEEN THAT THE WORST POSSIBLE DES
TINY THAT COULD COME TO ONE IS TO BE BORN TO WEALTH,
TO BE BORN UNDER CONDITIONS THAT RELIEVE ONE FROM
THE NECE8SITY OF WORKING FOR A LIVING. TO EARN ONE'S
BREAp BY THE SWEAT OF ONE'8 BROW IS A8 NECE8SARY TO THE
ROUNDING OUT OF THE CHARACTER AND THE PROMOTION OF
THE TRUE HAPPINESS A8 IT 18 TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE
PHY8ICAL I.IFE.
