Mans Relation to the Lower Animals.

Since many writers opposed to the
practice OF experiments on animals have
based their objections entirely on moral
grounds, and thus made the question of
viyisection an ethical one, have been
anxious to know what laws they have
discovered for our guidance on this vex-
ed subject They discourse on cruelty,
on immortality and on the rights of ami
mails; but these expressions are so vague
that they fail to afford any basis for legal
or public action, or, if there be any at
tempt at definition, it is with the object
OF making these terms conform on the
very point under discussion. Thus it is
constantly asserted that Psychologists
feel at liberty totorture animals at their
pleasure, without regard to the "higher
dictates Of humanity" 1t is thus i'm
piled that there exists among the public
some principle of conduct toward the
lower animals which has noplace among
eXperimenters, They speak as if, stand
ing on higher platform, and behold
ing all creatures from a superior posi-
ton, they could frame code of laws
which should have due regard to the
rights Of animals, and govern our own
conduct in all our relations to them. 49,
This position is altogether fallacious;
man cannot disconnect himself from the
animal world, and cannot define its
rights. 1t must, therefore, be abandon
ed as altogether untenable, and the sub
lect discussed from totally different
stand point. Our relationt to the animal
world can only in very qualified sense
be regarded from an ethical point of
view; much in the same way as enting
md drinking may be spoken of as ques-
tons of morality when moral consdera-
tons exert their influence over the
amount and kind of food which we con-
sumo; this, however, can not hide from
us the fact that the subject Of digestion
is fundamentally a physiological one.
The duty Of man toward animals, as
IN abstract question, is from its very
nature insoluble it can only be partial
ly answered on the grounds of expedi-
ency, and these will vary according to
age and nation. We should, rather.
ask what is our relation to the lower an
imal world and in what place in that
relationship can moral considerations
come into forceP In endeavoring to form
a Judgment of this relationship, we must
take facts as we find them, for the at
tempt at an explanation is trying to
solve the riddle of our existence. and
leaves us still with 1.-THE burden of the
mystery Of all this uninteligible world"

Talk

Children learn TO talk the language
heard about them, whether 1t be chaste
and pure or low and vulgar. Therefore
il behoovcs parents to take care OF the
manner and substance of what they
say before their children, and II is also
very clear that the silly, nonsensical
stuff talked to children is not only very
silly, but equally injurious. The CON
vorsalonal ability of the young is being
constantly educated by the talk OF
Others. They should be encouraged to
talk. The old idea was that "childrcn
should have eyes and ears, and no
tongue The faculties cannot be cul-
tiyatcd IN that way. Children must
talk. and must be guided in their talk
and conversation II they are TO become
expert in the use of language. Women
have the faculty in higher degree
than men. They are greater takers
than men. They have stronger social
feelings. which lead to the exercise of
this faculty; thoy are In society moro;
they talk more TO children. Women
are more eloquent than men, Men are
engaged Ia business, In thought, and
depress the faculty by want Of exercise;
while women. by exercising the faculty,
are constantly strengthening IL.

Melyille's Wife's Mementoes ,

Mrs Melville has preserved num-
Der of memenloes of her husbands last
hours at home previous to his departure
on that terrible Arctic voyage, from
which it was doubtful if he would ever
return. Here" said the fond wife,
holding in her hands n lined napkin
folded and held by silverring, at which
she gazed long and pensively, sis his
napkin, just as he left it after tho last
meal at which any of us have ever seen
him. The last thing he did before leay-
ING the table was to fold the napkin,
and, laying it down by his plate, he said;
Perhaps | will never fold another At
home Then he got up, babe us all
follow him, and went down to the little
depot you see out there, said Goodbye,
and we have never seen him since. FL.

Der band, which was hanging on the
clock in the dining-room, at this mo-
ment caught Mrs. Melyille's eyes, and
she stopped abruptly to point II out as
another memento, 1t was placed there
by her husband the last evening he
spent at home, and cap which he had
hung upon plcture-framc the after
noon before his departure remains ex-
actly where he left it. Although anx-

About Peanuts,

For the ten years l870-lsS0, the pea
nut crop in this country was 100000
bushels 100000 from Tennessee, s.
100000 from Virginia, and 100000 from
North Carolina. The crop last year was
2,220,00O bushels, and the average price
was I cents per pound, twenty-five
pounds to the bushel. 1t is the retailer
that makes the money. Peanuts are
sometimes as low as 3 or cents a
pound, but the consumer finds no
asatement in the price of his measure
of nuts. At Z cents pound, a bushel
will bring Sl.5l, which, peddled out at
10 cents pint, brings in 500, or at 3
cents a pint SS.20-a fair profit to the
curbstone dealer.

Music as a Mental Discipline,

The nature of music is threefold, like
that of man to whom it appeals. There
fore, it may be regarded as n sensuous
art, in that il delights the ear; as a
psychological art, in that it records the
emotions, and requires mental opera
tons on the part of the hearer for its
due appreciation; and as it involves
agreements, differences, symmetries,
complexities, etc, and order in appar-
ent disorder, it may be regarded as q
branch ol science closely allied to math-
cmatiCs
The distances between the holes of q
flute, the tension of q rum-head, the
lengths of organ-pipes, the rapidity Of
vibrations, the intervals between recur-
ring accents-in fact. all that NAV be
surveyed and expressed in numbers in
this art--give evidence of the mental
power Of the musician, irrespective Of
all considerations respecting the mag
nation or creative power in originating
composition.
The music of a people may be con-
sidered in liberalization to their super
sensuous natures. From this point
alone, strongly marked differences may
be noted for, by comparing modern
Italian music with German. it is at once
seen that the latter is developed more
highly in an intellectual sense.
Our modern music is styled a new art
chiefly because it requires advanced
mental powers of special kind on the
part of composers and auditors. In
stead OF being succession of mono
tones, it is complex web of many
tones, that the hearer must analyze to
understand and enjoy. In the ordinary
church quartette there are four such in
terwoyen threads, in a symphony by
Beethoven, many more An elaborate
tonal pleXus demands from the listener
considerable mental effort, unless he
has acquired by study "polyphonic
ear" or the power of perceiying the re-
ationships Of all the parts heard stimuli
taneously as clearly as nolooking down
upon ballroom scene may perceive
the symmetrical forms Of May dance.

A Strange Sight.

The south-bound freight train on the
North Carolina railroad ran over ne
gro child about years old, between the
ladkin river bridge and Salisbury, re-
Gently. The engineer saw it would be
impossible to stop the train before il
reached the spot where the child was
sitting. and swinging himself out Of the
window, started to crawl along the en-
CINE to its front, with the intention of
picking up the child before the cow
catcher struck it. He would probably
have succeeded in this perilons under
taking, but lunge of the engine caus.
ed him TO lose his balance, and he was
precipitated down an embankment. He
had hardly regained his feet before a
piercing scream was heard and he
knew the child had been run down.
The engine stopped within its length af-
ter striking the child, and then the hor-
rible task of pulling the mangled body
out from under the wheels began. The
iy AS If done with a knife, the head part
falling to one side and the legs to the
other. 4 shudder ran through the en-
gineer when he picked up the head and
body of the child, and the sensations he
experienced when It broke into a cry
were indescribable. He hastily laid it
upon the ground, when it uttered the
most agonizing screams for full two
minutes before it gave a grasp and died.
1t was strange experience to hear a
dismembered body crying, and was well
calculated to make the witnesses shud-
der. The body Of the child was turned
over to its mother, who lived in a cabin
near by. Charlotte Observer

to keep the public informed of all the
doings in prominent cirnles, not only
must he bear the reproaches and apply
the salve to those who may have q
right to feel injured land yet have the
courage to do just so again, next time);
but he must keep q silent tongue aud

errors. Considering that the paper had
allowed this event In high life more
space than it could afford, the much-be-

who had meantime abused his paper
right and left, reply, nwhich hesaid:

The ProorReader,s Troubles.

Speaking of contributors to the news
papers, q writer says: There Is the
minister, who sends in mere skeleton
of q sermon, q page Of hich looks like
the top Of q tea-box covered with Chi
nese hieroglyphics, all disconnected,
with Scripture proper names written in
dots and dashes, and the whole affair
complete enigma. However: he knows
it viii be all right, and that the printers
and proof-reader will unravel it, no
matter if they are fit subjects for the
madhouse before they get through with
it. Then there is the local reporter.
Well, he is q good fellow and means
well; he has troubles Of his own; but II
he spells mans name four different
WAYS in an item three inches long, he
knows the proof-reader will drop every
thing, rush around, find directory or
something else and fix itall right before
Ii goes into the paper. Also comes the
statistical fiend, with his figures all pre-
senting the same appearance, but not
having time to cast up his columns for
totals, knowing the proof-reader Is
bound 10 fix them up. There are also
country correspondents, the young poet,
the scientist, and the liuguistical Smart
Aleck, who can't write five lines with
out scattering In bits Of French. Latin
and Spanish, to show that he has been
there; it matters not whether he gets
his foreign words right or not, the proof.
reader must scratch around and get
everything right somehow, or the next
day he viii hear from the powers in the
sanctum. In fact, 10 be success, the
proof-reader should be an animate cy-
clopadia, with the patience Of Job and
the endurance of adamant-but he Is
not, hence his troubles.
