No Brooklyn Scandal Tolerated
Among the Lower Animals.


A new work has recently been pub
lished, entitled MAN and Beast"' in
which The author, Rev. J. G. Wood,
seeks 20 show that the lower animals
posses those mental and moral charac>
teristics which in human beings are
supposed to pertain to the soul. In
support of his theory he narrates
many stories, among them one con-
cearning a duck whose mate was
stolen. The morning after the loss
the duck commenced mourning for
her drake and refused to be comfort
ed, but nursed her sorrow in silence
and far away from the other ducks
and brakes. Some tire elapsed, but
did not mitigate her grief One day
very gay young drake, whose duck
had been killed, waddled up to the
supposed widow and sought to console
her, but ste refused his consultations.
He then sought to force them upon
her, whereupon she made it so hot for
him, he skunk away. A few days af-
ter this, the long lost drake was dis
covered and brought back, whereupon
his duck was so over come with Joy
that she did nothing but quack for
half day. After this performance
she informed him Of the proposals
which bad been made to her by the
other drake. The result was that
they hunted him up and gave him
the serverest kind Of a chas;is;ment
for his conduct. All this goes to
snow that these ducks and brakes have
more sense than chaFacterizes the
ducks and brakes in Brooklyn. -

Human Life Growing Longer.

According to figures given by a
French medical journal. human life
seems to be lengthening. The mean
length Of life at Rome in the higher
classes from 5000 to 200 B. G. was
so years. now in the corresponding
classes in the same city it is so years.
In the sixteenth century, the mean
at Geneva was between 20 and 81
years, from 1914 to 1913, it varied
from 40 TO 60 years. at present, more

4 year has elapsed since the ab-
duction of Charlie Ross, and now it is
said that Westervelt, the brother in
law of one of the abductnrS. who is
now in the County Prison, has made
an important confession as to the
original crime which promises we'll
tor the recovery of the lost boy,
though it furnishes no information as
to where he is at present. Whether
Westervelts alleged statement is as
important as limited in certain quar-
tiers can only be decided after It shall
have been made public. At present
it is denied to the press for private
and prudential reasons, or by request
of the authorities. 1t is devoutIy to
be wished that this confession may
lead to the restoration Of the boy to
bis distressed parehts,' but we fear
! that it will prove as decisive as have
al former inspirations of temporary
hopes on this subject.-LyncWurg
