LANGUAGE or ANINALs.-It has long been
Known that animals and insects have language
that l. understood by others of the same group.
But NJ. HOureau maintains that they can and do
learn to understand the language of other
groups. His dogs, for instance, perfectly under
stood his poultry. Cocks and hens have one dan
ger-signal for the approach of a bird of prey,
another for that of terrestrial animal or for a
man When the latter was sounded the dogs
would rssh out and bark, while TO the former
they paid no attention whatever. He therefore
concludes that fowls have the power of express
ing slightly different but closely allied ideas,
and dogs can learn 10 understand these differ

The Prince of wales ~ "a Digester,

L0r.i0H CORE sDORdsHce Nsg York TiweSl
The Prince Is found TO be just the same as he
was before his lllne>S-nOt by any means a bad
fellow, but only common and frivolous in his
hfe- and wanting in personal dignity and ele-
walton OF character. The scandalOus stories
about his designations which are circulated from
time 20 time are simply falsehOOdS. He is not,
N any sense, diSSipated or loose in his habits
Ills private life is reputable enough, and ii he
was only private gentleman, a Young fellow
who had inherited shOddy. or come into a pork
butchers fortune, there might be nothing to
say against him. considering what the general
run OF princes has hitherto been; for a Young
Prince not to be actually vicious is perhaps a
good deal. The people are more eNacting than
they used tO be, and they are certainly disap-
pointed They think that a man in high
position should carry himself highly, and not
make II too conspicuous that he is only a very
common sort OF person, a mere eating and
drinking machine, with no object in life except
mere amusement, and with tastes that carry
him toward the lowest kind of amusementS
The Prince is never heard of in connection
Win any public movement, literary, artistic or
chartaole, except a. simply eating a dinner
and making a few brief formal speeches on ac-
count OF H. He takes no interest i'm intellectual
pursuits. or indeed in any pursuits that require
knowiedge and application. When an English
gentleman l. nothing else, he is often farmer.
= he Prince OF Wales is not even farmer. He
does not even breed pigs. He hunts; he shoots
poor little pigeons, or tries, not ALWAYS with
great success; he is fond of the easy slaughter
OF large battues; he goes to the races often As
he can; he frequents theaters, and is rarely
mlssed when anything vulgar and slangy is
being performed, and he smokes a great many
very long cigars. People are getting rather
tired OF reading the mOnotOnous accounts of his
amusements. Why, they ask doesn't he take,
or pretend to take, an Industrial enterprise, or
m science or art, or something little above
g beer and skittles?' If he can't do anything
else, why doesn't he pretend, at least, to know
something about breeding pigs.
