DISHORNING CATTLE,

Zto Cperation and Its After Eifects Pro cuctive of Extreme Terture.

Professor McCall, for many years principal of the Glasgow Veterinary college, speaking ef the practice of dis- horning cattle, said: “I have heard the evidence of Professor Walley, and I agree with him that the operation is

one of extreme torture at the time aud § There must be more or less’ f°

afterward. pain until the wound isentirely bealed. Undcr the most favorable circumstances it must be painful forten days. The operation does not benefit the animal in the least nor the flesh as food. But if the avimal is vicious I consider it suff- cient to remove the tips of the horns. I have known of an animal from which the tips of the horns had been removed to take to butting again, but very rare- ly. Even then he did not do much damage.’’

George Andrew Leper, fellow of the | Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, said: ‘‘I consider the practice of dis- horning cruel because it causes fearful pain and is absolutely unnecessary. I have heard the previous evidence and agree with it.’’

Professor William Pritchard of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, London, and for 20 years professor at the Royal Veterinary college, Camden Town, had heard the previous evidence and agreed that the operation tortures the anima! and is unnecessary.

Professor Cox, Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and for some time its president, said, ‘‘In my opinion dishorning is extremely cruel and quite unnecessary.’”’

Professor J. Maoqueen, for ten years professor at the Glasgow College of Veterinary Surgeons and afterward at the Royal Veterinary college, Camden Town, said: ‘‘The operation is not necessary, and, if performed at all, should be done on the animal before it is 6 or 8 months old. That prevents the horns growing, and the operation is comparatively painless. ’’—Our Animal Friends.

The Man Fish.

Matthew Buchinger, mentioned in old English wonder books as the ‘‘man fisb,’’ was the most remarkable mon- strosity of his time. He had neither bands, arms, feet nor legs. From his shoulders grew two finlike excrescences, and along his back there were several rows of scales. He had the lidless eyes characteristic of the fish species and a queer puckered mouth and no ears.

Picking Oakum.

Picking oakum looks very simple, but it is dreadful work. It soon wears the skin off your finger tips, and the wonotony of it is perfectly maddening. The usual amount a prisoner in an Eng- lish jail has to pick ina day is 3} pounds.

It is calculated from Revelation xxi, 16, that there is anjple room in heaven for 297, 000,000,000,000 people, or as many as the world would produce in 100,000 centuries.

The popelation of the earth at the time of the Emperor Augustus is esti- mated at 54,000,000. I¢ is estimated

now to be about 1,400,000, 000, —

A Dr. Johnson Story.

In glancing through the recently pub- lished work on that worthy bore, Dr. Johnson, I failed to discover the follow- ing anecdote. It is carefully preserved by a family whose Scotch ancestors took arise out of the great lexicogra- pher: ;

Hostess—Dr. Johnson, what do you think of our Scotch broth? »

Dr. Johnson—Madam, in my opinion it’s-only fit for pigs.

Hostess—Then have some more.— London Figaro.

Civilizing a Chimpanzee.

**Tt’s wonderful,’’ said the man who is always earnest, ‘‘to see how they can develop the intellects of the lower ani- mals. There is no telling how much we may be able to benefit them by system- atic education, ”’

‘*What suggested that idea?’’

“A chimpanzee that I saw. He was onc + in a perfectly wild condition. Now they have by patient training taught him to smoke a pipe, play cards and drink whisky !’’—London Answers.

Barrie’s Candor,

J. M. Barrie is more conscious of his limitations than are some of his fellow workers of the period. At the repeated solicitation of his journalist friends he consented some time ago to write the life of the late Alexander Russell of The Scotsman, but he immediately relin- quished the task when he perceived that biographical writing lay altogether out- side his particular sphere of work.

The proverb ‘‘ Necessity is the mot a of invention’’ can hardly be traced .o one independent source. The idea was expressed by Persius, the Roman satirist about 60 A. D., and is found, in the precise form now quoted, in Richard Franck’'s ‘‘Northern Memoirs’’ (printed in London, 1694), and in various later English writers.
