The results of a lifelong study of horses have been published by. Professor John Venneeholm, the work for prevention of cruelty to animals, The professor has a very high opinion of the intelligence of the horse, and has found—this animal tw be possessed of an ability read! with astonishing aceurney: the mental attitude of persons approaching. hi "Although horses have a most pronounced individuality," he say' "they have one thing in commer thes. all are from the beginning: kindly and sympathetically attuned towards human beings, There are absolutely no bad-tempered or malicious horses that have not been made so by faulty treatment unkindness and, on the other hand, there is hardly' one horse, however savage of disposition, who. cannot: he reformed by proper treatment."
The professor quotes striking i stances of such eases from his own experience, and says: "Through his bility as a thought-reader the horse infallibly detects any trait fof fear or antipathy in the minds fof persons approaching him, and he instinctly reacts and defends himself against such persons, as he suspects them to bear some kind of malice against him. If, on the other hand, one approaches event the most savage horse with absolute fenrlerances he wil net do.
