EVERY LOWER ANIMAL HIS OWN
DOCTOR,

Animals get rid of their parasites by
using dust, mud, clay, etc, Those suffer-
ing from fever restrict their diet, keep
quiet, seek dark, airy places, drink wa
ter, and sometimes plunge into it. When
a dog has lost its appetite it eats that
species of grass known as dogs grass,
which acts as an emetic and purgative.
Cats also eat grass. Sheep and cows,
when i'll, seek out certain herbs. An
animal suffering from chronic rheuma-
tism always keeps, as far as possible, in
the sun. The warrior ants have regular
ly organized ambulances. Latreile cut
the antennH of the ant. and other ants
came and covered the wounded part with
a transparent fluid secreted in their
mouths. If chimpanzee is wounded it
stops the bleeding by placing its hand
on the wound or dressing it with leaves
and grass. When an animal has woun-
ded leg or arm hanging on it completes
the amputation by means of its teeth.
dog on being stung on the muzzle by
viper was observed to plunge its head
repeatedly for several days into running
water. This animal eventually recov-
cred. a terrier hurt its right eye. 1t
remained under counter. avoiding light
and heat, although it habitually kept
close to the fire. 1t adopted general
treatment, rest, and abstinence from
food. The local treatment consisted in
licking the upper surface of the paw,
which it applied to the wounded eve,
again licking the paw when it became
dry. Animals suffering from traumatic
fever treat themselves by the continued
application of cold water, which NJ. De-
launay considers to be more certain than
any of the other methods. In view of
these interesting facts we are, he thinks,
forced to admit that hygiene and thera-
peutics as proposed by animals, may, in
the interest of psychology, be studied
with advantage.
Many physicians have been keen OBJ
servers of animals, their diseases, and
the methods adopted by them in their
instinct, to cure themselves, and have
availed of the knowledge so brought I'M
der their observation in their practice.

the United States may render desirable.
We look upon the saloon as an unmixed
social evil and political menace, and we
believe that the friends of temperance
should work together politically for the
most restrictive measures and their en-
forcement.
II. The Importance of selecting the
best possible candidates for public office
is obvious, but among many good men
it is less important who is President than
it is which party is in power. We
invite the people to study the records,
the composition and the tendencies of
parties and to subordinate personal pre-
ferences and grievances even, for the
union of all forces, whatever their pres
ent alliances or past differences, which
favor freedom, protection, non-politcal
civil service, national dignity and enter
prise, the overthrow of sectionalism, pa
triotic and economical administration and
the social and moral progress of the peo-
pie. In this sign and under the Republic
can banner we expect to conquer.

I think the great thing in a speech is
earnestness of purpose and especially of
delivery. would not advise the slightest
attention to gesticulation, for that will
take care of itself with an earnest speaker,
and some Of the most earnest and effec-
tive seem to dispense with it altogether

speaking. You may hear two speakers,
one stirring you to the depths, the other

Mormon Thrift and Economy,

The city of Salt Lake is practically
without debt. Its bonds, to the amount
of $3.50, 900, to aid in the construction of
a canal, over twenty miles long. to bring
an adequate supply of fresh water from
Utah lake, have already been largely re-
deemed, though the term of the loan has
but half expired.
A people who have by patient endeavor
and community converted sterile region
into garden spot, by irrigation, natur-
ally become imbued with notions of thrift
and economy-public as well as private.
This natural tendency is encouraged by
an eminently practical religion. The
emblem adopted by the founders of Utah
is the beehive. The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Sain.s seeks to make
its followers honest, industrious and
economical.-Delegate John T. Game S

Specimen Washington Tramps,

1t is quite astonishing the number of we'll
meaning people who come up to Washington
in search of a pension. They seem to think
that all they have to do is to make personal
application at the bureau and the money will
be handed out to them at once There is a
general impression that nearly everybody is
getting a pension; that the pot is boiling,
and now is the time to dip in. A few days
ago forlorn looking man walked into the
pension bureau He had walked 800 miles
from near Wheeling, w. Va He had but
one shoe, was penniless and hungry and sim
pleas any man must be who would do such
a foolish thing He could not legally prove
that he was entitled to a pension, and of course
could not get one. In fact, he could not
prove anything, and in a sort of half dazed
condition he started to walk back Some of
the clerks in the bureau passed around the hat
and raised "a for him, that he might not
starve on the road.
Washington Is a bad place for poor man
without friends. The proper way for all
seeking pensions is to put their claim into
the hands of an agent, They run no risk in
doing this, since the law protects them as
regards fees 1t is just as foolish for the
well to do Vermont farmer to make Jour-
ney to Washington, hoping to get pen
sion, as it was for the tramp from West
Virginia. Pensions are only granted after
certain facts have been legally proved.
And the place to do that is at home. Fuller

Intimately associated with Manitou's
Landing, Gate and Wigwam, in the leg
end of creation, stands one more of these
natural curiosities of Mackinac island.
1t is known as Lovers Leap" and has
been the subject of more romancing than
any other of the island celebrities. The
prettiest modern conception is that which
represents an Indian girl watching here
for the return of her lover from the war
path. His comrades appear without
him, saying that he was slain. His
faithful maiden sings her death song here
upon this pinnacle, and leaps into the
lake to overtake her lover in the land of
spirits.
But the ancient legend of creation has
the most natural and complete explana-
ton ever given of the origin of Lovers
Leap. The red Adam was driven from
the island by an evil minded angel, who
was enamored of the red Eve and she,
having denounced the angel as devil"
with whom she could not be compelled
to remain longer than to express her hate
of him, fled like wind as it wantons
down from far Waugoshanee, and
leaped from the cliff. Her banished
mate, who was padding sorrowfully
along the shore and saw her fall. urged
his canoe forward and saved her life: and
Manitou restored them to the island
and banished the angel from heaven.
He fell to the under world of bad spirits,
and there became great leader and the
father of the white race of beings called
men, who, filled with the hatred of their
father toward the red Eve, have never
ceased to work for the ruin of her de-
scendants. This remarkable legend of
creation has made ''the Island" holy
land to me, and shows more plausibly
than anything l have ever found, re-
lationship between the North American
Indians and the ancient inhabitants of
the eastern hemisphere; while Lovers
Leap stands as prehistoric evidence that
love is as old as the human heart

DID SHE GET THERE?

"Granny, where you gwine?"
The speaker was poor puny little
pickaninny, black as the ace of spades,
who trudged YEARLY along, almost bow
ed double beneath the weight of an i'm
mense bundle of soiled clothes for the
wash.

BILE visage, pouting lower lip, and saw
age aspect, turned sharply round and
confronted the widows mite.

A Blind Newsdealer.

There is in Philadelphia blind news
dealer whose sense of touch is SO acute
that he not only makes change accurately
and rapidly, but can detect counterfeit
note or coin at once. His stand has been
for many years near the corner of Sixth
and Chestnut streets. In nine years, he
says, only $3.50 in counterfeit money
has been successfully passed Oh him. His
sense of hearing is also remarkable, and
after he hears the voice Of a regular Gus
toner he can always call him by name.
