But the animals, everyone oi them (who, it will be remembered, bad the power of speech), protested against sailing to the west, declaring In one voice that they preferred steering toward tne sun's ruing place. ' These murmurs had been going on for some days when, to the Infinite Joy of the man who bad been holding the fort against this horde of creatures who bad the voices of men and the reason of beasts, great spots of dry land began to appear. Finally, this rudely con structed ark grounded, and the man and his family and the beasts were again permitted to press tlie face of the earth with their feet But a great and lasting calamity had overtaken the an imals.

The American Indians, especially those of the lake regions of southern Canada, relate a curious tradition to account for the fact that all lower animals are dumb. In very, very early times, they say, the father of all tribes lived In a beautiful country over against the rising sun. His form was perfect and his face was handsome in the ex treme, his deacendants being all superb specimrnsof humanity. Knowing of their accomplishments and being much given to flattering one another, they became very haughty and arrogant : Tastlfles tbo Haaao.

There is no part of his structure which has not some alimentary or Industrial use: even his bristles are used in tha manufactures. ) , "But from the point of view of char acter and mode of life, it must be eon feaaed that he posaeaios certain habits and dispositions which fully Justify his name." i This reminds one of the opening lines of a composition once submitted by a i boy In a Hew England school t ths eooa.
