Likes Being hunted.
The extraordinary intelligence and
skill displayed by reynard when be
ing hunted makes it extremely prob
able that be, in common with the
huntsman and the hounds, feels the
keen pleasure of the pride of art—an
important constituent of the spirit of
the sport. In proof of this, an old fox,
when fresh, has*often been observed to
wait tor the hounds, apparently with
the purpose of drawing them on, and
so giving ; u opportunity for the dis
play of his skill. The fox owes his
present existence in England to his
skill in providing sport, and it is not
thei’efore unreasonable to suppose that
he has acquired the sporting instinct,
just as the pointer, the hunter and the
terrier certainly enter into the spirit of
the sport for which they have been
bred and to which, therefore, they owe
existence.—London Standard.

Books Written in Jail.
Jail seems to be a good place in which
to write books. Literary men surpass
themselves there. John Bunyan wrote
“Pilgrim’s Progress” in jail. Cervantes
wrote “Dox Quixote” in prison. Defoe
laid the plans for “Robinson Crusoe”
during a term of confinement imposed
on him for the writing of a pamphlet
called “The Shortest Way With the
Dissenters.” Leigh Hunt wrote "Rim
ini” in jail. Sir Walter Raleigh dur
ing his fourteen years’ imprisonment
in the Tower of Loudon wrote his ex
cellent “History of the World.” Silvio
Fellico and Tasso both did their best
work In jail.
