Tho coiors OF Animals

As a rule the parts Of animals most
exposed to rays of light are, other
things being equal, richest In coloring
matter. The backs of wild animals are
usually, and with few exceptions, las
among nocturnal and %burrowing ami
mails more strongly colored than their
bellies.
Another class Of exceptions may DO
seen among fishes OF certain families
which lie on thor sides instead Of on
their bellies, and expose not their backs
but one of their sides 10 the light. In
these fishes the upper side is colored,
while the under side, next to the ground
and the darkness, is not. Articulates
also have their upper sides most strongly
colored, although what in them answers
most nearly to the dorsal column is next
to the ground. The parts of the shells
of mollusks which are in contact with
the ground are uncolored, while the
parts exposed to the light shine with
varied tints, and this, whatever may DO
the peculiar positions assumed by par
ticular shells. For individuals of the
same race, the abundance of the color
ing matter is generally proportional to
the intensity Of the light to which they
are exposed.
IL is well known that the skin is
tanned by light, that people from the
north are Drowned by living in the
south, and that ruddiness and freckles
appear under the action of the sunlight.
Some people of the white race, like the
Hindus and the Moors that live in
southern climates, are frequently
darker skinned than the negroes them
selves. Still we can not affirm that
light is the only cause of these changes.

Tho Pigtail as n brain Regulator.
ATLANTA constitutional

H
With a population Of 300, 900, 900
China has not a single insane asylum.
This fact does lot prove that there are
no lunatics among the Chinese, but it
shows that they are not sufficiently
numerous to make an asylum neces-
ssry.
To what do the Chinese owe their OK
emption from brain disease Various
explanations are given. 1t is said that
the Monaghan enjoys mental repose.
lie does not fret and worry. As his re-
ligion has been established for thou
sands of years he let's it alone. lie
cares nothing about politics. There is
no competition to stimulate him. All
the business of life is regulated by the
government.
Doubtless all these things are con
ducive to mental sanity, but the Chi
neman's equipoise is probably due TO
his pigtail more than anything else.
1t takes good judgement and a nice
sense of proportion to make and keep
in order a tirst-class pigtail. 1t must
hang evenly from the middle of the
head between the shoulders. 1t acts as
a sort of balance weight. Some mental
concentration is required to keep a pig
tail in order, and s~elf-love, pride and
methodioal habits are involved in it.
This may seem a tribe, but the human
mind is controlled by tribes. Our Chi
nese friends perhaps builded wiser than
they knew when they first twisted their
pigtails. q.

Every tourist who comes to Wyoming
territory is told of the beautiful but
deadly Rattlesnake mountain and
warned not to battle in the famous
Olinging spring. The spring is ina val
ley of the widest beauty. 1t is circular
in form and perhaps 100 feet in circum-
ference. The water is clear and two
feet deep. The temperature during the
fall is of blood warmth and during the
remainder of the year icy cold. The
beautiful spring entices the tired trav-
eler or the mountain tramp to bathe in
its waters. But the pleasant tempta-
ton conceals a deadly snare. Many
have bathed, but it was the bath OF
death. The bottom which, through
the pellucid waters, seems TO be com
posed of a white sand almost marble
like in purity and polish, is in
reality a sucking quagmire, and once
within its clinging grasp there is no
such thing as aid or escape.
Men without number have persisted
in this fatal trap, some with agonized
friends standing not more than a score
of feet away and utterly powerless.
While tho spring is remote from any
high road, or even any general trail all
around, it is n noted hunting region.
Occasionally an unfortunate stranger
finds himself on the margin of this
fatal spring, and yielding to its seduc-
tons plunges in and is then no more.
His fate is a mystery, and is very prob
ably laid to the account OF the savage
mountain lion or the ferocious silver-tip
bear.

Il have been very much interested
lately in reading about the migration Of
squirrels, remarked Mr.. Isaac N. La
Boiteaux.
81 didn't know that squirrels ever
migratedf' said the newsman, inter,
negatively.
Yes, they do. They don't migrate
annually like the birds, but they change
their place of residence at long periods.
There are great numbers of squirrels
round my place on College hill, and this
fall l noticed they were not to be seen.
Usually ut this season of the year the
squirrels are busy gathering nuts,
and the woods are noisy with
their short, sharp bark, but now none
of them are to be found or heard.
Some time ago l predicted a squirrel
migration and now | find that / was q
true prophet. | read in the papers that
thousands of them are crossing the
Mississippi from EAST to west. | re-
member when | was a boy of a squirrel
migration from west to east. l saw
thousands of the little animals swim
ming the Great Miami. They swim
with their tails out of water, and if by
any mischance a squirrel gets his tail
wet he is helpless. At that time, 1
recollect, boys stood on tho bank of the
river, and when the squirrel came near
they would knock their tails into the
water. Then it was an easy matter to
wade in and catch them"

Erroneous aud Absurd.


The suggestion that oak trees are
struck because they contain iron is both
and absurd. If oak did con
tain iron it would, in all probability,
increase its conducting power and act
rs a preventive. If oak contained an
estimable quantity of that metal the
wood would turn black on exposure TO
air on account of the tannin which is
present. The blackening may be seen
surrounding the iron nails in an oak
fence. The contour of the ground, nat
ure of the soil, and the presence or alb
me Of water have more influence in
deciding the locality of an electric dis
charge than the height of a tree. Add
to this tho difference in conductility
between the various woods, and we
have at nee IN explanation of the APP
parent popularity of tall trees escaping
unframed while shorter trees are de-
stroyed.

Observing that at English railway
stations luggage is fought for in a sorim-
mage like Rugby football, The Satur-
day Review advises any student of life
above all any poetic go to a terminus
when a train has come in, and watch
the faces of the voyagers as they battle
for their things" What passions agi-
tate the strugglers for bags and trunksl
How they fly ~neryously from open van
to open vanl Their faces, even the
youngest Of them, are peaked and dis
torted with fear, care, anxiety. lou
may watch the wicked gamesters at
Monte Carlos, and behold no such emo
tons as are markedly exposed at Water
loo or Paddington.
Here, first, Is trembling anxiety and
l~ght-winged hope; then come doubt
and dread and sad-lipped patience and
supreme despair. The record of such
passions flows, almost inevitably, into
blank verse. The cruel and quivering
eagerness of the old is matched by the
hurried selfshness of the young. Then,
at last, most faces are lit up with the
light Of t~hankfulnoss and JOY, while
only a tortured remnant ahides Of per-
sons whose luggage has been carefully
thrown out at the wrong station, or has
been carried off, under their very noses,
by accident or design.

AN UGLY EVIL.

In many of the large cities OF the east
it has become common for young girls
to promenade the streets at night, either
alone or with chance male acaualnt-
ances. The newspapers have taken the
matter up and opened war on the
practice. The philadelphia and Balti-
more Journals are especially vigorous in
their language demanding that stop
be put to the business, The Times, OF
PHILADELPHIA. SAYS no little demoraliza-
ton has resulted in that city from the
excessive freedom allowed the girls.
1t is not pleasant to admit it, but the
truth is, the evil of which so many OF
our eastern papers are complaining,
exists in a disagreeably large degree IN
Salt Lake. A person does not have to
be told of the fact; to be con-
WINGED, he only has to go on
the streets and loiter about until 10 or
even II O'Clock at night. Young girls
who should be in bed, or who ought at
least to be under the eyes of their pa
rents, are encountered singly, by twos
and threes, strolling listlessly along;
they are not bad, and perhaps can see
no wrong in what seems innocent con-
duct, but the course they are pursuing
is demoraliang and viii certainly lead
to evil. The fact that the girls are out
at so late an hour is an invitation to the
rowdy and hoodlum element to be bold
and insulting, and unfortunately. too
many of these girls look upon the bold
ness of strangers as fiattery, and treat
what duly thoughtful and modest fe-
males would resent as insults, as COM
plments. There can be but one
outcome to conduct such as mentioned.
and that outcome is the worst that ca
befall girl.
We are not speaking of this matter
because the practice is by any means
general, the girls of Salt Lake as rule
being modest in thought and careful in
department; but while there is any
promenading on the streets at night of
young and innocent girls, there is an
evil to be cured. Parents are quite as
much to blame in this matter as their
daughters. The cid time iule OF con-
duct is a good one-the rule that girls
can safely spend no time of which they
cannot give frank and satisfactory &C
count. The mother who permits her
young daughter to go on the streets at
night unprotected by male escort who
may be trusted to act the part Of a gen.
tleman, has herself to blame for the
girls downfall.

A SQUARE REPUBLICAN,.

A good square Republican official is
such rare animal that when one is
found we cannot refrain from making
note of the fact and holding him up as
an example, Such one is or was
Colonel John E. Bryant, late United
States Marshal of Georgia. Colonel
Bryant sent in his resignation and was
succeeded by Democrat. In an inter
view concerning the matter, he said:
saw that the Democratic newspapers
of the State, yoicing the wishes of the
Democratic masses of Georgia, de-
manded my removal from Office. 1t
had been my determination, from the
time knew of the result of the last
election, to resign in December next,
because was unwilling to serve under
Democratic administration. l believe
that the administration should have in
the principal offices men who are in
ministrati0n. It is well known that
1 am Republican. l fought on that
side during the war. and for twenty
years since the war. / believe in the
principles ofThe party. and believe it
would be dishonorable for me holding
position under a Democratic admins
tration to publicly express opinions in
opposition to those of the admins
tTation. l am unwilling to remain
silent for four years, the length of my
term of Office. Therefore ] decided to
resign.
1t is not expected thasany Republican
official in this Territory will do as
Colonel Bryant has done. Our Federal
office-holders are too scurvy a lot to
think of giving up their positions,
though they fally understand that nine
men out of every ten they meet, think
the officers are wrongfully exercising
authority, and taking money from the
Treasury. that they should not have.
The one Republican official of the Terri
tory who had the manhood and decency
to resign when the people OF the nation
repudiated his party. stands higher in.
the estimation of the community, Re
publicans and Democrats. than he ever
did before. He can now look his fellow
men in the face with the air of man
who believes this is arepublic in name
and spirit, and that it is the right and
province of the majority to rule.
While realizing that the Federal

pap suckers viii cling as long as
they can, refusing to be shamed into
doing that which their consciences If
they have consciences-would condemn
them for not doing. We commend
Colonel Bryant's words to their con-
sideration. and suggest that the ex-
Marshals utterances are the words of a
man who has the right to claim that he
has higher regard for political princi-
pie than for the loaves and fishes
while those who hang on can profess
no such merit.
