MORE SCHOOLROOM "HOWLERS."

The following are extracts from essays written by school children quoted at a meeting of <the Dover branch of the R.S.P.C.A. :— "Feed your horse with horse-radish and horse-ehe&tnuts if you want your horse to grow," said one. Another wrote : *' If you are very kind indeed to your dog, it may even follow you to your grave." A l<3btle girl wrote : "The Esquimaux are very fond indeed of their reindeer; m faot, they love their reindeer sometimes more than tlheir wives. But then they are very useful to them." Asked to state the reason why the tails of horses and dogs and other animals should not be cut, one of the essayists quoted the following verse of Scripture :— *•" What God hath joined together let no man put asunder."
