Animal Instincts.

WHEN we talk of the lower animals
being provided with instinct, and not
with reason, what we really mean is that
although they are sensitive, and al
though they are conscious, yet they do
act mechanically, and that their different
states of consciousness, their sensations,
their thoughts Off they have them, their
volitions Gf they have them, are the
products and consequences of the me-
chanical arrangements. | must confess
that this popular view is to my mind the
only one which can be scientifically
adopted. We are bound by everything
we know of the operations of the nerv-
Gus system to believe that, when a GER
tain molecular change is brought about
in the central part of the nervous sys-
tenn, that change, in some way utterly
unknown to us, causes that state OF
consciousness that we term sensation.
1t is not to be doubted that the impress
sion excited by those motions which give
rise to sensation leaves in the brain
molecular changes which answer to what
Halter called " rcstigia rerum," and which
that great thinker, David Hartley,
termed " vibratiuncles," which we might
term sensigenous molecular, and which
constitute the physical foundation of
memory. Those same changes gave rise
naturally to the conditions of pleasure
and pain, and to those emotions which
in ourselves we call volition. l have no
doubt that is the relation between the
physical processes of the animal and his
mental processes. In each case it fol
lows inevitably that these states of con-
seriousness can have no sort of relation
of causation to the motions of the mus
Giles of the body. The volition of ami
mails will be simply states of emotion
which precede their actions. The only
conclusion, then, at which there seems
any good grounds for arriving is, that
animals are machines, but that they are
conscious machines.-Prof. Huxley, IN
Popular Science Monthly for October.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Baked Squash.-Take six medium
sized squaSnes or cymllngs, put them IN
boiling water, and let them boil until
soft enough to mash with Il spoon; take
them out drain all the water carefully
from them; season with pepper, salt and
butter to taste. Beat two eggs till light;
stir into them half Il cupful ofmilk; mix
all well together. Put into DISH and
bake quickly in hot oven, say ten
minutes.
Wild Ducks.-After they are cleaned
and ready for cooking, wrap them in Il
clean cloth and bury twelve hours in the
earth to remove the strong flavor of this
bird. They are usually cooked without
stufling. Three-quarters of an hour will
be sufficient to cook them. When you
dish them draw a sharp kite three times
through the breast, and pour over gravy
of little hot butter, the juice Of a
pepper. This is poured over as they go
on to the table.-CuLioator.
Russian Cream.-Onc quart of milk,
three eggs, one cup of sugar, half pack
age CoX's gelatin, vanilla or lemon fla
vOring Dissolve the gelatin in half pint
of tepid water, bring it to warm tempera-
ture, but not scalding. Beat the yOlks of
the eggs and sugar together. Bring the
milk to boil, then add the dissolved
gelatin, two eggs and sugar, and let it just
come to boiling point, but no more, as
it is too stiff Beat the whites and re-
move the mixture from the stove, and add
the whites to it ; also flavoring, and pour
into mcius This requires to stand
longer than wine jelly. If wanted for
dinner make the day before. Eat with
cream if you like.-Erchanqe.
Make a little preparation for winter
flowers. 1t is surprising what little
forethought will do in this direction. A
pot of mignOnette and another of sweet
alyssum cost nothing, and yet few things
will be found more pleasant and attract
i've in the winter season. Plants that
appear unimportant, almost insi gnificant,
and entirely eclipsed by more ambitious
rivals, when the garden is ablaZe with
its summer glory, sometimes prove to be
very queens of beauty when transferred
to the sitt1ng-room or the bay-window.
The balsam is a very desirable plant for
winter blooming, particularly the white,
and toward autumn we often select cut
tings from few of the finest plants in
the garden and root them in pots for
winter flowers. The stocks are equally
good. The cobGa scandcns and nearly
all the climbers make good winter bloom
ers. Mignonette and sweet lyssum may
be sown now. Put from three to six
plants in pot. Any plants in the open
ground that have not bloomed may be
be taken up carefully and potted, shading
a few days after potting, and giving
full supply of water. Look around the
garden before frost and see if you have
some young and strong plants that proved
little late for outdoor Towering that
you would like to try in pots. If so,
take them up with as little disturbance
as possible, and put in good soil-Cuttt-
cater.

nent authorities in the same place-Prof
Alexander Muller and DR.. Eisendinck-a
few years ago, after a long period of care
full inquiry and experiment, came to the
following conclusion: "1he souring of
milk or cream has directly little or moth
ing to do with preparing them Tor the
churn. Its influence is, however, other
wise felt, as it causes the casein to pass
beyond the gelatinous condition in which
the latter is inclined to foam strongly at
low temperature, and, by enveloping the
fat globules, binders them uniting to-
gether. On churning cream that is very
sour the casein separates n a fine granu-
lar state, which does not interfere with
the gathering of the butter. Cream
churned when slightly sour, as is the
custom in the IIolstcin dairies, yields
butter of peculiar and fine aroma, and
has the taste which Holstein butter
has after keeping some time"

Opportunity to Try an Organ Before
Purchasing.

Many person is half persuaded that
a Cabinet Organ would be capital
thing for his family; worth much more
than its cost. Yet they are not sure that
it would be permanently valued, but fear
that after few months use the family
would tire of it, and so it would prove Il
poor investment. The Mason & Hamlin
Organ Co. now offer their famous Cabinet
Organs on terms which will satisfy all
such. They will rent an organ with

Once upon a time, away down in Geor-
gia Il man planted Il little seed.
The sun shone warm on it, and the rain
came and softened it, and it soon began to
sprout. Day and night it grew, till it was
high as Il mans head. Buds formed all
over it, and one night they burst into
bloom. Beautiful cream-colored flowers
they were, something like q morning
glory
By noon the sun was too warm. The
beautiful blossoms shut their leaves and
hung their heads, and before night each
cream-colored flower dropped off. Where
each one had been was little germ.
This little germ grew and grew until it
was as big AS an egg, when it burst open
and threw out IA long beautiful fluff of cot
ton several inches long
1t was cotton seed, of course.
Then a mana negro-came and tore
the cotton from the ball, put it into bas-
ket with others like it, and carried it to
room where were hundreds of pounds of
cotton. In the room was a busy machine,
and into that machine the cotton was
thrown.
This cotton, you must know. is full of
seeds. Very troublesome little fellows they
are, too, for they have no idea of leaving
their comfortable home, and its very hard
to get them out.
I'll tell you how the machine does it. As
the cotton goes in it comes to roller COW
cred with wire teeth. These teeth seize
the cotton and draw it through sort of
gtating, SO fine that the seeds can't get
through, so they just stay on the outside.
As the roller goes around it comes to a
brush roller, which brushes off the cotton
as nicely as any brush can do it. Then the
cotton is packed in a bale, and sent to the
cotton mills.
Now the cotton that comes from the little
seed away off in Georgia is by this time
very dirty, and what do you suppose comes
next? A bath? No; what's good for boys
isn't good for cotton. 1t gets-a beating,
It is laid on sort of net work, and beaten
with bundles of twigs. The dirt falls
through the net work, and then the cotton
is called q batting"
But the cotton from the seed I'm telling
about don't stop batting. 1t is very fine
