NATURES RIDDLES.
The Instincts of the Lower Units of Gre
alton.

Chickens, two minutes after they
have left the egg, will follow with their
ewes the movements of crawling in
sects and peck at them, Judging DIS
tance and direction with almost lntall-
bic accuracy. They will iLstinctlvely
appreciate sounds. readily running to-
ward an invisible hen hidden in box
when they hear her "call." Some
Young birds also have an innate IN
stinctive horror of the sight of a hawk
and of the sound of its voice. Swal-
| lows, titmice, tomtits. and wrens, alter
having been confined from birth, are
CAPABLE of flying successfully at once
when liberated on their wings having
attained the necessary growth to rem
der flight possible. The Duke o'

particulars about the instincts of birds
especially of the water ousel. the mer

The Wflmingtou Conference.

The Wilmington NJ. T.. Conference
just closed, has been the most exciting
one ever held by the Conference. Long
before 1t met 1t was publicly announced
from tune to time thai no les, than
three or four of the leading mem oers of
the Conference would be srled for very
grave charges, which to say the least
were no. only very unchristiau, but
some of them we're grossly immoral.
One OF the four was not expelled,
but forced to withdra v from the Confer
ence rather than TO withstand the ex-
posures attendant upon IA trial. This
case, Is WAS true, was the worst of the
four, but when We see the wonderful
sympathy that runs through the Con-
ference mem bers, 1t is a question of
doubt whether even he would have
been expelled had he stood trial The
charges against him sesned To be Of no
greater weight than those brought
against those who stood their trial and
came through with flying oolors W far
~ the Conference was concerned.
In view Of the very grave charges
that were laid against these members,
the question arises, was there any foun-
dation for them in the first place II
: there were, there are some people who
might possibly be termed inquisitive,
might ask how it comes that these ac-
cused men came off with such flying
colors ? If there were no ground for
the charges, then somebody must be
guilty oflying in putting such reports
Into circulation, and guilty of malicious
ness in having them prosecuted. We
know that Revs. j. L. Mowbray, w. K.
TOmpkinson and A. l.. Lightbourne
stand before the world acquitted by an
honorable body OF Christian ministers,
but where are those who brought
charges against them ? The charges
were Of no light and triHing character,
that could BIS swept away by a brush of
the hand, but they were serious, grave
charges, too grave and serious to be
proved untrue without doing injury to
the character Of those who brought
them. 1t they were untrue, as the
conference has decided, then somebody
is guilty Of the highest order of ma
licious prosecution. Indeed, it was an.
nounced upon the floor of Conferen CT
that the charges were brought through
malicious feelings. Then where art
these malicious prosecutors ? Will
such feelings Of righteousness in theil
hearts, are they fit subjects for church
fellowship Should they not be pro
ceeded against now that the persons
they are said to have ma.iciously prose
cuted have been adjudged not guilty
The lines Of justice in the Conference
seem to be dragged very loosely O
drawn very tight, according to circum
stances. Charity, the inspired write
says, covereth Q multitude Of sins, thel
great must be the charity of the viii
mlngton M. E. Conference. This is tn
way 1t looks TO the world outside.

Railroad Pooling .

1t has been ascertained to an almost
positive degree Of certainty that train
OF freight cars can be carried between
Chicago and New York for about $500,
this amount including all expenses,
taxes and fees. This being true, then,
no business in this country ought to be
more remunerative than that of railroads
If fairly and honestly carried on. This
same train that costs but $500,
will haul four thousand tons of freight
which 1T the present price of four dol
lars per ton will yield $l,100. This
brings in a net profit OF $500, enough
surely to satisfy the most grasping
monopoly II such thing were possible
But Notwithstanding ali this one-half
the railroads in the country are hope
lessly in debt and many of them
are not paying interest on their stock.
The common place business sense OF
the country would think the more bust
ness q railroad did the larger its gains
would be, but by means of pools and
combinations, business Is restricted and
the profits are divided. What one rail
road makes in profits is taken to pay to
a road that does not make 30 much.
The Reading Railroad owns half the
anthracite coal in the world, and hav-
ing a monopoly of it, the reasonable
supposition would be that it would be
interested in sending every ton into the
market that it possibly could. Instead
of doing this, however, it actually
enters into a pool combination with
other coal mining companies to limit
the production of coal and keep up the
prices, even II by 30 doing it has to
limit its own prices for what it sells
These are some OF the tricks and evils
that have reduced railroads from being
the most valuable securities to those
regarded with most suspicion and dis
trust

constable by showing petition urging
the passage OF q bill by the Legislature
that will give him the Office for four

standing this, however, his petition has

A few weeks ago we adj
vertised about the same way;|
and people came too many

many for the wares we had.
Many were disappointed !;
the more because the wares
were better than they sup

The critical reader wa IS

The tca-set we are selling
for SIS.75 is an unsuccessful
venture Of a successful MAX
err. The world, so far as he
has tried it, doesn't want an
alligator tea-set - doesn't
want it enough to pay for
the making. He made a
few hundred sets before he
found out the world didn't
want them. So he sells them
to US for what we will pay.
How much shall we pay?
When we sell what the
world doesn't want, we make
the world want it. We
know you pretty well by this
time. We can guess pretty
shrcwdly what will make
you want something out OF

we are not satisfied to give
