THE WART HOG.
it Is One of the Most Grotesque Ani-
mals In Existence.
To the naturalist who closely etad-
fes animal life it sometimes appears an
t nature had either deliberately set to
riork to form weird and curious creed
litres or else had been engaged la ex-
periments, for there are birds and ani-
mals which might be accused of being
Dade up of odds and ends.
One of the Most grotesque animals in
existence is the wart hog of Africa,
tailed by the Boers the Vlaktevnrk pig
If the plains.
It stands :Wont thirty Inches In
height, has a huge disproportionate
bend, with eyes set very high up, and
large protruding tusks. These are ex-
itctly opposite those of other pigs, the
tipper ones being much longer than
those In the lower jaw and sometimes
attaining n length of over twenty
Inches.
But the most unusual feature of this
turlous looking creature and the one.
from which It derive3 its name Is the
great wart just below each eye, a
smaller one appearing between each
tusk and the large wart above it.
The body Is nhnost hairless, except
that along the spine ntel the neck long
coarse hair banes, and the whole effect
of the animal is weird and grotesque.
these wild poo often take possession
Of empty burrows made by ether ant-
=els, stud when pursued they slew

Kaffir Greeting.
"Sakti bona" are the first worth .a
Stranger learns of the Kaffir vocabula-

and its literal translation Is, "I see

spect not to give the greeting Immedi-
ately, the delay showing the reverence
In which the native holds his visitor.

BIRDS' TONGUES.
Why the Parrot Is Able to Imitate Hu-
man Speech.
One of the government naturalists
at Washington has recently gathered
some fresh information concerning the
tongues of birds.
Many people suppose that woodpeck-
ers use their sharp pointed tongues as
darts with which to transfix their
prey. It is true that the woodpecker,
tike the humming bird, can dart out its
tongue with astonishing rapidity and
that Its mouth is furnished with an
( elaborate mechanism for this purpose,
yet, according to the authority men-
tioned, Investigation shows that the
object' of this swift motion is only to
catch the prey, not to pierce R. For
the purpose of holding the captured
victim the woodpecker's tongue Is fur-
nished with n sticky secretion.
Considering its powers of imitatiri
speech, it Is not surprising to learn
that the parrot's tongue resembles that
of man more closely than any other
bird's. It is not because the parrot Is
more intelligent than the other binds.
Dui because its tongue is better suited
for articulation than theirs, that It 1=
able to arnuee us with its mimicry.
The humming bird's tongue is in
some respects the Most remarkable of
all. It is double nearly from end to
end, so that the little bird Is able to
grasp its insect prey with its tongue
touch as if its mouth was furnished
with a pair of fingers.
THE ANT EATER.
A Harmless Animal That Will Fight
Hard When at Day.
A peculiar looking animal 15 the
ant cater, which is closely allied to
the sloth family. Its head is drawn
out into it 1o11g, tubular muzzle, at the
end of which is a tiny mouth just big
enough to permit the exit of its long,
wormlike tongue, which is covered
with a sticky saliva.
This tongue is thrust among the
hosts of ants with great rapidity, com-
ing back laden with the tiny insects.
To obtain its prey the ant eater breaks
open the ant hills, when all the active
Inhabitants swarm to the breach and
are instantaneously swept away by the
remorseless tongue.
The jaws of the ant eater are entire-
ly without teeth, and the eyes and
ears aro very small.
There are several species of ant eat-
er, the largest kind being about four
feet long and having a tall covered
with very long hair, forming a huge
brush. The claw on the third toe 01
each fore limb is of great size and is
used for breaking open ants' and other
insects' nests.
Generally speaking, the ant eater is
a harmless animal, but at times when
at bay it will fight with great cour
age, sitting up on its hind legs and
hugging its foe with its powerful arms.

The Perfumed Cloud.
The dentist's sleeve was smeared
with a pale dust. Ile beat it with his
palet, and a perfumed cloud nrose.
"Makeup," he said, Inughing, "the
dny's usual harvest of makeup. Why
the deuce, to front the fierce white
light of n dental chair, will women
come to me with makeup plastered
thick on their pretty faces? They all,
or nearly n11, do it. Their lips are red-
dened, their brows penciled, their
cheeks rouged. and 1n a few cases the
tiny network of veins in the temples Is
outlined In blue. Pegging away at
their teeth, 1 mop up all that makeup
on my coat sleeve. 1 smear red over

IBE BLARNEY NONE
;An Old Legend Tells How 11
found Its Way to Ireland.
'THE MAGIC OF KISSING IT.
Origin of the Quaint Belief That It im-
parts to the Lips That Touch It the
Power to Utter Honeyed, Coaxing and
Delusive Speeches,
The blarney stone takes its name
from the village of Blarney, In Coenty
Cork, Ireland, near which stand the
rains of the famous Blarney castle.
dating back to the fifteenth century.
and the groves of Blarney, which en-
joy nn equally wide reputation. .\ riv-
ulet flowing through them bears Vie
same name. The name Blarney 14
from the Irish "blairne." n little fetid,
the Gaelic form being "blah•" or "blase,"
a plain. The village is four miles north-
west of Cork and has a few hundred
Inhabitants. In the groves of Blarney
stands the ruined castle, in one tower
of which is the world fatuous stone,
the kissing of which is reputed to
endow one with the gift of coaxing.
wheedling and flattering.
The true stone is declared to be one
in the castle wall, a few feet below
the summit of the tower. To reach
and osculate it it is necessary for one
to be held over the parapet by the
heels. But so many persons traveling
in the Emerald Isle desire to report
that they have kissed the real blarney
stone that one in the top of the wall
is held to be sufficiently near the real
thing for the, fiction to be maintained
that 1t is the true stone with all the
powers of the original. And even to
aged and infirm persons one near the
castle entrance Is declared to be the
original. On the true stone, near the
top of the tower, a halt effaced in-
scription reads, "Cormac',; McCarthy
Fortis Me Fieri Faclt, A. D. 1416."
Of the blarney stone Father Trout,
the Irish poet, declared that it was the
palladium of liberty for Erin. Ile de-
scribes the stone and relates a number
of legends regarding It, one that It
was brought to the island by the
Phoenicians, who are reputed to have
colonized the region, and that it had
long been in the custody of the Cartha-
ginians, who from it gained the rep-
utation for Insincerity which is trans-
mitted in the phrase "Punic faith,"
and that before that 1t belonged to the
Syrians, who were credited with
Speaking with double tongues after
kissing it. According to the story,
some Carthaginian adventurers be-
came enamored of the stone and ap-
propriated it. They set sale for Minor-
ca, but, being overtaken by a storm,
were driven into the harbor of Cork
and left the stone in that vicinity un-
til It was made use of in the construc-
tion
onstructtion of the donjon tower of Blarney
castle,
As to the origin of the belief in re-
gard to the qualities secured by kiss-
ing the stone, Crofton Croker says
that in 1602, when the Spaniards were
urging the Irish chieftains to harass
the English, the owner of tho castle,
Cormack McDermod McCarthy, who
then occupied It, concluded au armis-
tice with the lord president on condi-
tion of surrendering it to an English
garrison. Itut he put him off from
day to day with specious statements,
fair promises and false pretexts until
the lord president became the laugh-
ingstock of the ministers of Queen
Elizabeth, and the honeyed and delu-
sive speeches of the lord of tbo entitle
became known ns [Hero "blarney."
The word found Its way into litera-
ture in the lest century. In the "Jour-
nal" of Caroline Fox, which appeared
fu 1S:15, there is this use of the word:
"Mine. de Steel was regretting to Lord
Castlereagh that there was no word in
the English Jangunge which answered
to their 'sentiment."'No; he said,
'there is no English word, but tho
Irish have one that corresponds exact-
ly—blarney."' Samuel Lover wrote
"The blarney's so great a deceiver" 1n
one of hls Irish novels. President
James ihu•hanan wrote, "Tho general
has yet to learn that my father's coun-
trymen (i have ever felt proud of my
descent from nn Irishman), though
they themselves do blarney others, are
yet hard to la blarneyed themselves."
Washington Irving In 'The Traveler"
wrote. "So he blarneyed the landlord."
James Russell Lowell In "The Fable
i'or Critics" says:
Tito cast clothes of Europe your states-
manship tries
At.e mumbles again thc, eta blarneys and
Ile
The name of the old time castle and
town has added a noun, n verb, an
adjective and n participle to the lan-
guage. The most comprehensive defl-
nitLln of the mom "blarney" fa "ex•
cet•rlingly complimentary langunge;
flattery; smooth, wheedling talk; piens-
ing cajolery." As to the origin of the
word, one lexicographer quotes Grote
as crediting the derivation of It from
the phrase "IleltIng the blarney
stone," "applied to Incredible stories
told of climbing to n stone very dIlII-
cult of necess In a castle of that name
In the county of Cork, irel:and." But
he adttetl that hr. Jamieson derives It
from the 1'r•etu•'1 " baiw•erne,'' "a Ile;
frivolous talk," and defines It "gross
flattery; unmeaning or vexatious dis-
course (Low)." But the word seems
