Animal Intelligence,

One night loud knock was heard at

not be reached by any one outside ex-
cept by getting over the garden wall,
some alarm was caused. On the knock
being impatiently repeated, the door
was opened, and the cat ('.Mrs. Muf-
fins walked in with great dignity.
Since then she has never failed to make
known her presence in the same way,
always waiting after the first knock.
Some weeks elapsed before it was as
certained how the knocking was pro-
duced, but at length it was discovered
that slip of wood which runs down
the side Of the door was loose at the
bottom; this slip she pulls out with her
paw, and then allows it to rebound.
She is very affectionate mother. Some
time ago her mistress. by accident,
hurt her kitten. '.Mrs. Mullins

also add that she has shown great in

The st. Louis fashionable girl has
new toy. She has taken to live dolls.
She plays with borrowed babies. Her
delight Is to get possession of pretty
infant and subject it to extravagances
of fondling ana adornment. When she
drives in village cart nursemaid sits
beside her to hold the little pet When
she goes shopping the servant carries
the baby into the store. When called
upon in her own residence she is found
with the child in her coddling arms.
Nothing in the freakish line of girlish
diversion has ever taken more sudden
mold on passing fancy. Of course,
pretty babies are in urgent demand.
Wherever one exists the family is dis
turbed by the competition between
sisters, cousins and aunts to get pos
session. And if no baby in blood re-
lationship can be procured the eager
young mother by brevG does not hesi-
tate to procure one from among the
offspring of some poor and obliging
woman. The wardrobes which ac-
company this indulgence are wonders
of beauty, taste and cost.

Territorial Superintendent Beadle has
issued circular letter to the press of Da-
kota, containing an exhaustive review of
matters demanding immediate legislation,
and statistics showing the present condi-
ton of our educational system. The ex-
penditures the past year amounted to ST.
74S, 563 SO. Many suggestions have been
made as to the advisability of electing
county superintends in June, at the same
time as district elections This does not
apply to Lincoln county. Territorial as
sistants will be necessary, and appropri-
ations for Institutes should be made.
