TRAINING OF ANIMALS.
Only AecotuplUbrd, It lfi Said. ljr tb
" of the, Whip. .
The popular theory that animals can
be taught tricks by flrmness and kind
ness is a grim error, according to a vet
eran circus man who has scut forth
tbe dictum that uo animal' was ever
trained to do anything ' unnatural ex
cept by punishment, I( it knows hun
ger or pain will follow disobedience, it
will obey.
It takes the whip to brjeak the colt to
harness or saddle, but the end Justifies
the menus, and the animal's Intelli
gence when onc It has learned Its lesson-does
away with further use of tho
whip. But If a horse is taught tricks,
such as one sees In a circus, the con
stant use of the whip Is . necessary.
and tbe little pat on the neck the train
er gives the 'animal In public is not be
stowed in private. There is never any
let up In their training.
Trained dogs always appeal to wom
en and children, for the little animals
appear to thoroughly enjoy their work.
But the barking and frisking are only
the natural joy of the poor beasts at
being let out of " the cramped, quarters
where they stay when they are not In
the ring. ? Moreover, "they ; know the
trainer does not whip them in public
There Is scarcely a trick a trained dog
does that be likes or that be will do at
was toe first dog trainer to make a
reputation, and when be was middle
aged be abandoned bis profession be
cause, be said, be had not the heart to
go on making a living by whipping
dogs. Cleveland World. ,
London, March 21, 4:30 a. - m, While
there is a lull in tbe military operations,
the political heat surrounding shows in
teresting developments.' The colonial
office has telegraphed to Cape Town
the text of ' the proclamation claiming
the destruction of property. This will
not be published in London until after
its promulgation in South Africa, but it
is Known tnat it win convey an tntima
tion that any wanton destruction ol
British property during the war will be
rvgnruvu, as warranting a ciaim ior com
pensation and as justifying a levy upon
private property, should the resources
of the Transvaal republic prove inade
quate, roe fact tnat-.tno proclamation
is issued by the colonial office ia regarded
as a eignmcant indication that the re
publics will be administered . as crown
colonies. In this connection it is under
stood tbe leaders of opposition : in par
liament now admit that no other settle
ment is possible; since the republics insist
upon tneir demand for absolute Indepen
dence. In view of this, the efforts Of the
Liberals will be confined to securlnar in
the settlement the best treatment for the
dense population, including security
egainsc tneir disfranchisement. y
