LIFE IS A BATTLE.
Existence in not only human
life, but also in animal life, is a
constant warfare. Enemies
abound on all sides, and self in
terest does not scruple at the
destruction of other lives. Such a
statement seems on first sight to
be broad and untenable but on
full consideration ill be found to
be absolutely true. Mrs. Gorton,
in Popular Science News says
that "in the animal creation are
exhibited so many traits that the
characteristic of the human species
that we might regard this or that
phenomenon as an example of
human nature; and in one trait is
the parallel to be drawn with
greater fidelity in the faithfulness
cf the likeness between certain
animals and maa than in the art
of swindling. There are on record
plana of the greatest ingenuity, j
invented by him whose energies
are conserved against the rightful
belongings of another ; and accord
ing to Sir John Lubbock, animals
recognize the basic right to
property each member of a com
munity to the produce of his ovin
labor and therefore robbers are
robbers, whether animal or human
beings. Of the vast and often
successful frauds perorated,
there is a constant surprise at the
accurate physical insight and
ability developed by the operator
in the transaction, as also never
ending wonder at the sim;le
credulity or helplessness of the
victim. This is seen among ani
mals to such an extent that pity
often becomes swallowed up in
derisive contempt for the injured
party; and the cheeky marauder
wins the prize from the luckless
victim of his arts, and also wins
applause for his aptitude in secur
ing booty. On the plains and
along the broad bottoms of the
Missouri River are the cobnies
often a community of many mem
bers, with villages of wide extent
ji the American marmots, or
prairie dogs. Merry, cheery,
chipper little fellows, these gregar
ious villagers sit on the mound
above or beside the open door that
leads to their comfortable sub
terranean dwelling?, and hold
converse in short, not unmusical
barks, each greeting his neighbor
and rejoicing in the sunshine.
But into the sanctity of the home
which he and his have constructed
with much labor, the burrowing
owl comes, uninvited, and becomes
a tenant with a life lease, without
so much as "by your leave;" and
one of the most atrocious results
of this swindling arrangement is
that the dog (a strict vegetarian)
finds the owl, whose young shares
the nest with the infant marmots,
feeds upon them, and reus its
young upon the bod.es of the
children of its victimized landlord.
Another ami much more vicious
tenant is the prairie rattlesnake;
but his visits are few and far be
tween, and when he does come it
is in a character, quite often, of
avenger, as it b.is been demon
strated beyond a doubt that owl
pie is one of his favorite dishes,
which seems just, for his more
ravenous appetite requires several
to satisfy, especially if young and
juicy. The dogs are also at the
mercy of this rapacious pirate,
One of the most notable instances
of "beggar-ruy-neighbor'' is the
cuckoo, which lives, is bred, and
nurtured by the lalor of other
birds; and this habit is the rule of
many birds. Sea gulls and ospreys
are systematically robbed of the
fruits of thtir labors by the long
beaked pirates ever on the alert to
rob. There seems very little ex
cuse for these shameless swindles,
as the bald eagle aisi the white
headed eagle each the worst in
this particular of its kind are
well fitted by nature to provide
themselves with their own fish.
That animals have no n.etbcd of
redress does not fill our ideas of
abstract justice, and "survival of
the fittest" seems a cruel code.
There is another view of this in
teresting topic : There are many
insects, birds and beasts that pre
serve their being by stimulating
what they are not, that they may
remain undistinguishible and
escape the pit falls that may lie in
wait for them; also to catch the
unobservant and destroy them.
Among these are the "spectre
insect," the ''walking-stick insect"
and the "praying insect" (Mantis
religiosa), which is constructed,
with its forelegs stiff and thrust
into the air to resemble a
withered twig, that it may escape
foes from this very resemblance,
also that it may catch any unwary
insect that ventures near for its
own subsistence, thus stimulating
an attitude of patient endurance
quite like those scavengers of the
human race the pious beggars
who simulate faith and patient en
durance, but are really burglars
and robbers. The sphnix cater
pillar also simulates what it is
not, and escapes its enemies by
putting on a false appearance,
and also attracts its food in a like
manner.
The good old-fashioned spelling
natch has succumbed to the
"pronunciation bee." There is no
question that correct pronuncia
tion is more important than coi
rect spelling, for people speak far
oftener than they write. With the
arbitrary rules governing the pro
nunciatiou of so many English
words it takes long training to
secure accuracy. Take one hun
dred people and it is doubtful
whether ten could pronounce cor
rectly such common words as
coadjutor, diocesan, squalor and
isolate. Try these four words on
any company and the result will
surprise you.
Beautiful Women.
The mairical effects of Wisdom's
Robertine as a beautiher and
preserver of the complexion have
been attested by thousands of
leading ladies of society and the
stage. It is the only article ever
discovered which gives a natural
and beautiful tint to the complex
ion, removing tan, sunburn,
freckels and ail roughness of the
face and arms, leaving the skin
soft, smooth and velvety. All re
mark on its delightfully cooling
and refreshing properties, a
distinction not found in any other
similiar article known, Tor sale
