bees, and the former certainly have q
sense of compassion. This hs displayed
in the tender care bestowed on the
wounded during the terrible battles
fought between different tribes of ants.
The suffering and helpless ones are not
left to perish, but are carried off of
the battlefield by a regular 'tambu-
lance-corps. No one doubts the ex-
istence of memory in animals, and as
to ambition, is it necessary to recount
the pitched battles which take place
IN bee-hives between the different can
didates for royalty? How can one
pretend that man only has the gift Of
language! He must be blind indeed
who does not see that all animals have
some means of communication with
each other. To give only one example:
there is no possible doubt that anita
make themselves understood by their
fellows, by means of the touch of their
delicate, sensitive antenne or feelers.
Before a war, council is held, and
messengers hurry about. Scouts or
spies are sent out, and the attack is
fastened or postponed, according to
their reports. All this could not be
done without very complete method
of communication, for the giving and
receiving of orders, etc. Moreover, if
animals had no language, how could
they teach their young? That they do
teach them is evident from the fact of
Young foxes in countries where the an

DO ANIMALS THINKq

A Question which Eminent Scientists An
swer in the Affirmative.
A great deal has been written to
show that animals think and reason,
Just as man does, though in a lower
degree. Perhaps some of our readers
may notice things in animals which
show that they have a great deal of
intelligence, even if they do not reason.
Mr. Paul Brocca, the French author,
devoted much attention to this subject.
Tt has been said of animals, writes Mr.
Brocca, that their actions are always
mechanical and without method. This
may be true of domestic pets, who are
influenced almost entirely by the human
beings around them, but does not the
beaver change his plans. acting now as
builder, now as miner, according to
circumstances? Besides this, everv
one knows that the bee frequently sub
stitutes pentagonal, or ive-sided, for
hexagOnal, or six-sided cells, and that
this alteration iE the work is made
only when necessary. 1t has also been
said that animals do not reason. What
then is done by the foxes, which in
Thrace are driven on to the ice to test
its strength? These animals step care
fully and lightly, with their heads in
clined, and turn back suddenly directly
they discover by the sound of the ice
cracking that it is not safe TO proceed
farther. A dog which, in following
scent, arrives at a cross road is seen to
stop, consider for moment, then
plunge along one Of the roads, shifting
cautiously. turn back and try another
road in the same manner, and finally
dart unhesitatingly down the third. It
is evident that his logic tells him that
as his prey has not taken one Of the
first two roads examined it must neces-
sarily have taken the third road, so he
he does not waste time in further inves-
tigation. That this IS not mere instinct
is shown by the fact that a dog some
times makes a mistake in such q case,
and that when the fact becomes evident
he sinks out Of sight of the hunters,
looking picture Of shame and humili-
alton.

MoRRIsoN's TARIFF BILL.

Probability That the Measure VIII Receive
Considerable Modification and Alteration
Before 1t Leaves tho Hands of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means.
WAsHINGTON, March Alt is probable
radical change will be made in Con.
gresham morrison's tariff bill now under
consideration in the ways and means COM
mittee. So far the Democratic majority
have stood out unitedly against any ma
terial alterations of the bill, and the
features touching iron and other ores as
we'll as the manufactured metal products
have been adopted by the affirmative votes
of the committee. Colonel Morrison
realizes, however, from the expressions
privately of Mr.. Randall and the high tariff
Democrats who follow his lead that
they will fight the bill, and the Demo
cratic majority is not big enough to stand
! their detection. Recognizing this fact,
Colonel Morrison will probably consent
to such changes in the bill as will leave
Mr.. Randall and his associates no excuse
for opposition. The PENNSYLVANIA obiec-
tions apply mainly to the iron features of
| the bill, so it is under consideration to
take out of the bill the proposed addi-
tions to the free list of iron and all the
other ores.
those parts of the bill reducing the tariff
on all classes of metal products, on glass
and on pottery. This robs the bill of
some of its most striking characteristics,
and to give it some feature of strength to
compensate for these changes wool will
be put on the free list, and the tariff on
all classes of woolen fabrics will be cut
down about half by repeating the specific
duties. 1t has always been stated, and
| the tariff commission took this position,
that the specific duties on wooden goods
were given as compensation to the manu-
| facturers for the duty on raw wool. At
present there is an average specific duty
OF thirty-fve per cent, and an ad valOrem
| duty of about the same amount. The re-
| peal of the specific duty will leave the av-
erage duty on woolen goods just little
| under thirty-ive per cent.
1t is understood, of course, that this
nit at the wool growers will wake up
! Ohio; but it is believed impossible to
| frame any tariff bill which would sub
serve the political necessities of the party
in that State. Whether, as changed, the
bill win meet with any support from the
Randall Democrats remains to be seen.
| There will be no conference to learn the
views of this element. They will be
brought face to face with the bill, and left
| to adopt their own course.

GARLAND's TELEPHONE STOCK

What Colonel Casey Young Says the Tnves-
tigatiOn VIII Develop In Regard to the
Matter.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-It was learn.
ed last night that the examination of
Colonel Casey Young, which win be
continued this week by the special
committee investigating the telephone
scandal, will probably bring out some
testimony tomorrow very favorable to
Attorney General Garland. In the course
Of conversation last evening Colonel
Young stated that early last spring, some
time in the fore part of May, General
Garland was very anxious to dispose of
his stock in the PanElectTic Company.
He stated to Senator Harris and Colonel
Young that he could not find time to at
tend to his duties as attorney of the Pan
Electric, and believed it would be in every
way best to draw ont. Nothing was
SAID about his official posi- ton
conflicting with his connection with the
company, because there was 10 thought
at that time of the government bringing
suit or having any thing to do with the
telephone business. The only point was
that Garland had no time to look after the
affairs of the company He had attended
only two meetings of the board of direc-
tors and thought he would be Il mere clog
to the enterprise. His associates were
afraid, however, that his large holding
might pass into unsatisfactory hands if
his stock was sold, and on that ground
persuaded him to abandon the intention
of selling.

HUMAN SKIN.

Various Instances in Which IL Has Been

Following the example of Mr.. Jo-
seph Zaehnsdorf, who lately bound
two Elzevir editions in human skin,
another London binder has executed
an order to incase a copy of Hans Hol-
bein's Dance of Death in the same
ghastly integument, certainly a very
appropriate covering for this work.
These are not the only instances,
however, in which the casing OF the
human form divine has been utilized.

near Methley, Yorkshire, there were
formerly two books, Sir John Cheeks
Hurt of Sedition' and Braithwaite's
"Areadian Princess" both bound in
the prepared skin Of Mary Bateman,
'the Yorkshire witch, who was exc
cuted early in the beginning Of this
century for murder; but these were
