The Minds of Animals.

DIR. w. LANDER LINDSAY, of whose
views on the subject of animal psycholo.
gy we have before spoken, is Scottish
physician, devoted to mental diseases, but
who also takes a great interest in the
minds OF the lower animals, the study of
which he is now Systematically prosecut-
ing. He believes that animals have minds
as really as do men, and that, although
vastly and variously lower, they are still
kindred to the human mind, and upon
analysis yield the same mental elements
or rudiments of the faculties. But he
goes still further, and affirms not only
that animals have true mental natures,
but that these are liable to arrangement;
that is, in fact animals are subject to the
same mental diseases as man. He has re-
Gently published an elaborate paper on
insanity in the lower animals, in which
he gives the most curious and interesting
proofs that they also go deranged in all
kinds of ways. Even the vexed questions
of civilization and insanity he finds
mixed up with this lower animal problem
Dr. luke, an eminent authority on hui
man insanity, remarks that there is an
acutcnsss of sensibility, susceptibility
of emotions, an intense activity of the
ICNIlH3N, NitIII Npuli cttlil w JCtulidl
to highly civilized life, and ont of this
state of the nervous system come. various
predispositions to mental disease. DIR.
Lindsay holds that this is equally
true of animals. He says: 1.-The
effect of domestication and breeding
in the production of predisposition to
disorders of the whole nervous system,
including especially the brain, is another
subject of the first Importance in relation
to the symptoms of insanity in animals
High breeding, for instance, in dogs and
horses, begets extreme nervous sensibility,
including high mental sensitivcness, one
result of which is great susceptibility TO
diseases of the entire nervous system.
The distinguished Partisan Psychologist,
M. Claude Bernard, has pointed out the
effect of breeding in the obvious differences
as regards nervous sensibility or irrta-
bility between high-bred animals and the
same species in the wild or natural state.
He says $50 equisite is the nervous sen
sibility of dogs of the higher breed that
the slightest operations bring on fever,
and are attended with alarming symp-
toms They cannot, therefore, be en-
ployed in researches connected with the
gastric Juice in fact, all operations per
formed within the abdominal cavity are
liable to superinduce peritonitis, which
generally proves fatal In dogs OF
lower breed the results are totally differ
ent, and M. Bernard states that in the
horse these differences are, if possible,
still more strongly marked. y" Scientific

The Tea Party in Boston Harbor-
Letter from John Adams.

A RESIDENT Of Boston has given to the
.Adrerti@r, of that city, the following
copv of a letter now in his possession,
written by John Adams to General James
Warren, of Plymouth, on the 18th OF
December, 1913: -

must pay for it.-Now, think, the Prov

easily as il is drank-and | think II Is a
matter of indifference whether II Is drank

TO get the Province to pay Tor I'LL so,

Money-Whereas If it is drank it must

in this that the final Ruin, OF our Constr

1t was thus, few days since, we heard
a stripping Of sixteen designate the moth
er who bore him. BY coarse husbands
we have heard wives so called occasional
ly, though in the latter case the phrase Is
more often used endearingly. At all times,
as commonly spoken, 1t jars upon the ear
and shocks the sense. An "old woman"
should be an object Of reverence above
and beyond almost all other phrases Of
humanity. Her very age should be her
surest passport 10 courteous consideration.
The aged mother of grown-up family
needs no other certificate Of worth. She
Is monument Of excellence, approved
and warranted. She has fought faithfully
"the good fight" and come off conqueror.
Upon her venerable face she bears the
marks of the conflict in all its furrowed
lines. The most grievous Of the ills OF
life have been hers; trials untold and un.

has borne necessarily; and now, in hzl

Chewing Gum.

When food is taken, saliva is sst reted to
aid in masticating it. When other sub
stances are chewcd, saliva is, at first,
secreted Us for food but the vital in
stincts soon recognizing the nature of the
substance, eXcreie a fluid similar to saliva
for the defense of the tissues. This fluid
Thrown out against tobacco, gum, etc,
is really excrction.
The bile occasioned by taking poison
Gus medicines has, by careful experiment
and analysis, been found to be quite
different substance from that socrcted by
the liver in It's healthy action. So the
fluid which the salivary glands produce
during protracted chewing of that which
is not food, is quite different from healthy
saliva The waste however, is probably
just rs great as if it were healthy saliva.
Those who habitually chew gum, unduy
exercise either ultimate debility, or UNI
due development in size There is also
danger OF permanent depreciation and
poisoning of the salivary glands.
This constant chewing also Injuries the
teeth. The teeth are no small item in
lady's beauty; and as they go to such
rapid decay in America, demanding SO
early the dentists care, ii IL surprising
that ambitious young ladies should SO
wantonly destroy them. Boys often ruin
their teeth by cracking nuts; they do it

Keeping Diaries.

OLD people who havenot accustomed
themselves to anything Of the kind, are
very ayerse to iotting down notes Of what
transpircs from day to day. As, the father
of the Writor ot,rc expressed H. "They
think they can carry things in their heads

and incidents of our everyday lives.
once fixed, the habit remains and be-
comes source of pleasure. Thousands
Of persons derive solid enjoyment from
sitting down at their desks before rctir-
ing, and spending few moments with
them journals. But the bensfits resulting
from such practice are what should
make it universal, particularly among
young ladies, who generally have time for
such things. IL causes reflection and gives
deliberate turn to our minds We cam
not sit down every twenty four hours and.
recall what we have done, without soon
beginning to hesitate and deliberate bo-
fore doing thing-thereby becoming
raorc cautious and guarded in our ao-
lions.
The practice furnishes exercises in com
position. The young lady who writes u
little every day and habitually clothes her
ideas in words, will sooner or later DO
able to construct the fine sentences and To
employ the beautiful language which she
now, perhaps, covcts In others. NJthing
is better calculated TO fix in our memories
what we have read, and at the same time
To strengthen our memories themselves,
than the practice OF communicating to
paper the thoughts obtained from books.
We have friend who makes rough
skeleton of every book the moment he
has completed its pcrusal, mating the
principal characters and their character
istcs, giving a brief synopsis q the plot,
il it be a novel; copying beautiful pas
sage hare and there, ETC., etc. BY so do
ing he supplies himself with q reference
book of all that he reads, and, as he in
forms US, constantly refreshas his mono
nv by running over his skeleton work.
The daughter who desires TO cultivate
economy, the housewife who wants 10 be
frugal and draw as little as possible from
her husbands earnings, should Keep
GARY Of daily expenditures. Those who
have mover made the experiment would

expense account promoses economy. To
see every day how foolshly you have ex-
pended your pennies Is to be constantly
reminded how you night and should save
them against the day Of need. Try it.,
| and see il this is not the case.
II has been truly said that no one who
kept an account of expenditures ever be-
came a spendthrifs. The person who al

Hints About Housekeeping.

WE give to intelligence, to religion and
to all virtues, the honor that belongs to
them. And still it may be boldly affirm
ed that economy, taste, skill and neatness
in the kitchen have great deal to do
with making life happy and prosperous.
Nor is it indispensably necessary that
house should be filled with Injuries
The qualifications for all good house
keeping can be displayed as well on
small scale as on large one.
A small house can be more easily kept
than palace. Economy ismost needed IN
the absence of abundance.
Taste is as well displayed in placing
dishes on a pine table as in arranging the
folds of damask curtain.
Skillful cooking is as readily discovered
in a nicely baked potato, or respectable
iohnny-cake, as a nutbrown slrloln OF
brace of canvass-backs. :.
The charm of good housekeeping In
the order of economy and taste displayed
in attention to little things, has wonder
full influence.
dirty kitchen and bad cooking have
driven many one from home to seek
comfort and happiness somewhere else.
Domestic economy is science-atheory
of life which all sensible women ought 10
study and practice. None OF our gilIs
are fit to be married until they are
thoroughly educated in the mysteries Oh
the kitchen. A., .,,..
See to it, all we who are mothers, that
YOUR daughters are accomplished py an
experimental knowledge OF gooo mousse
