has escaped the writer hereof, seized
upon this incident TO support his asser-
ton that animals faculties are much bet

clared they have language. A news
paper writer of few years ago, descriD-
ing the stampede of two mules of pack
train on the plains, gravely declares his
belief IN the Frenchman's assertion. The
mules In question were the ugliest, most
eyil-tempered of the entire train. They
were continually biting and kicking each
other, and in every way behaving as open
enemies. One evening they were OBJ
served in close conference, the heads to-
gether and ears bent down. The consul
taticn lasted half an hour, at the end of
which the pair started on headlong
gallop across the rolling prairie. They
were found at Rawlins, nearly hundred
miles distant, in their old stalls, quietly
munching hay and enjoying the comforts
of home-life. Now, these two ruraways
had boldly undertaken the journey
home over a painless wilderness, and,
moreover, accomplished it.
An Australian gentleman contributes
his story of the homing faculty. A quiet,
steady-going old horse, which had fed
upon his run for two years. pricked up
his ears one day and dashed through the
bush that a savage could hardly traverse
to the run of his former master. Here
memory was certainly exercised; but how
did the horse know that through the bush
lay the shortest path, and, knowing how
did he pick his way through the tangled
underground, fallen trees, brush, ravines
and pitfalls2 A horse is generally ac-
corded superior intelligence, and, diff
cult as the feat appears, it looks easier
than that of flock of ducks which was
published few weeks ago. Ina tightly
closed crate they were carried from one
farm on Long Island to another twenty
miles away. They could not possibly see
the landmarks along the route taken. But
they found their way home again, and, as
their wings were clipped, they had evi-

How animals get home becomes more
difficult to answer when one reads about
a kitten six days old taken from one part
of London to another which got home
safely, escaping the countless dangers of
crowded streets, or of another youthful

ALCOHOL AND TUE HEART BEATS

AS rule il is well to let the processes
of life in our body go on without MOTTO
ing it, for doubtless it would make us
very nervous to have the internal ma
chinery in motion before our eyes. But
to prevent people from abusing that deli
cate machinery it often becomes necessary
to show it: and if a person addicted to
wrong indulgence is made "nervous" by
the sight, it may save him from being
made something far worse.
DR.. N. B. Richardson, of London, the
noted physician, says he was recently
able to convey considerable amount of
conviction to an intelligent scholar, by a
simple experiment. The scholar was
singing the praises OF the "Ruddy
Bumper" and saying he could not get
through the day without it, when
DR.. Richardson said to him:
"Will you be good enough to feel my
pulse as l stand here?
He did SO. said, "Count it carefully;
what does it say?"
"Your pulse says seventy-four."
then sat down on a chair and asked
him to count it again. He did so, and
said, "Your pulse has gone down to
seventy"
then lay down on lounge, and said
"Wlll you take it again."
He replied, "Why it is only aixty.fouri
what an extraordinary thing!"
then said, "When you lie down at
night, that is the way nature gives your
heart rest. You know nothing about it,
but that beating organ is resting to that
extent; and if you reckon it up it is a
great deal of rest, because in lying down
the heart is doing ten strokes less min
ute. Multiply that by 60 and it is 600
multiply it by 8 hours, and within g
fraction it is 5000 strokes different; and
and as the heart is throwing 6 ounces Of
blood at every stroke, it makes differ
ence of $4,000 ounces of lifting during
the night.
when lie down at night without
any alcohol that is the rest my heart
gets. But when you take your wine OF
grog you do not allow that rest, for the
influence OF alcohol is to increase the
number of strokes, and instead of getting
this rest you put on something like 10,
600 extra strokes, and the result is yor
rise up very sesdy and unfit for the mex
days work till you have taken littl'
more OF the ''ruddy bumper" which 20,
saw is the soul of man below"

The ordinary expenses Of the Holy See
are about 81. 600, 900 and the incidentals
bring the total up to nearly 81, 400, 900 a

civil list of $642, 900, which was for the
maintenance Of his court, Of the Cardinals
residing in Curia, Of the personnel Of the

Government offered Pope TX the annual
