About a year sgo began, with tho assls,

TO ask her for one, two, three, four or FIVE

out from among the litter In her cage. OF
course, no constant order was observed In
making these requests, but whenever she
handed number not asked for, her offer
WAS refused. In this way, the animal learned
to associate the numbers with their names.
Lastly, II more than one straw wore asked
for, che was taught to hold the others In her

This method prevented any possible error

THE October statement OF foreign COM
merce and immigration shows that the
exports for tho month are $l,310, ,0i4 less
than In October, 1857, and the imports ex :
ceed the imports OF the same month last
year by $5,2 ,396. The figures for xports
include the foreign merchandise OK ported,
which amounted In the month to $7Ib, ,29s,
so that the excess OF exports over imports
was ss 47o74 which IL 20, 500, 44O less than
the oxoess IN October, 1857. October still
shows an excess OF exports al usual, but In
the ten months ending October 3Ist the
imports exceeded the exports by $sl, ,l27,.
525. The significance OF this may be
rsalizsd by noting the excess OF imports for
the ten months ending October 3lst, 1887.
1t was only $50, ,290. So We paid for a part
ofths eighty-one million excess OF Imports
with gold and silver, and 30 left an excess
OF all imports over all exports Of $55, ,O23, 1914
for the ten months.
According to the same report 40 365 immi.

l5, l0l Of them came from Great Britain and
Ireland, only $3.50 being from the latter,
while Germany sent TO- 160 and Sweden n,

Snobbery.

There Is nothing more sickening to q
man who has trace of pride in this great
democracy than the open snobbery and
cant used by some small.minded writers
Tor the press in theirgossip about nobility
and royalty, and particularly the British
article. The Philadelphia Inquirer, which
has been talking very hotly against Eng
land and It's aristocracy when politics
seemed to demand, now publishes under
, Aportrait Of daughter of Lord Sackville
the following nonsense about the lady
and her sisters
"Without knowing who they weye tbe
man OF letters and the travelled gentleman
y ooulc tell at q single glance their aristo
remtic and noble birth, for It's sfgn.man usl
1s visible and noticeable at the frat glance
or Introduction TO them"
This talk Is common enough In Europe,
but Americans have hitherto found it
chiefly in children's fairy tales where the
prince in disguise is usually recognized
by his noble bearing" Without doubt
the notion had reason in Europe in the
times not long gone by when none but
the nobility could attain to culture and
refinement, but that day is over in
Europe, and the rise OF this hollow
battery In America is entirely without
justification The "sgn manual of
aristocratic and noble birth !" Shades
OF the fathers, what a pass have the Phila
delphia Quakers come to that they can be
fed on snobbery like this. One would think
that the sign manual of England's aris.
tocracy had received a boom in the
American market since 1t was attached
70 that stupid letter by Lord Sackville.
There is proportion of irrepressible
fools In every nation, and perhaps we
have no more than our share, but their
folly is just now displaying itself in way
humiliating to men of sense and patriotic
pride. Lord Sackville has had his re.
venge, and goes home with flying colors,
for have not the Americans bought his
secondhand furniture and marked china
'at fancy prices, Just because it had be.
l0nged to lord.

Irish Lard Legislation,


zhe debate In the House OF Commons
~ The land purchase bill shows the
4 Lome Rule men ~ strong a. ever and
- supporters OF the government less
'Dtebborn than they have formerly been.
Hhls measure Is renewal Of the bill
lnown as the Asbbourne act Of 1886,
|yhlch appropriated s25,0OO, 600 to be
3cnned to tenants in Ireland to enable
chem 10 purchase their homesteads, the
1And and buildings being the security for
ne debt. In Ireland the buildings
usually belong to the tenant, and in some
cases the tenant farmers have immense
baSns and costly farm houses erected at
toelr own expense on land that legally
belongs TO men whose ancestors
eook possession by right Of conquest.
These tenants, whether poor or rich, and
nearly all are poor, are eager to free
their ancestral property from the control
of absent landlords, and If there are no
ARREARS Of rent, the land purchase bill en-.
ables the poor to do this. The trouble Is
that the very class the measure claims to
relieve, are overwhelmed with rent In
arrears which accumulated against them
n time of famine, and they cannot buy
their homes until they are freed from this
load OF debt. For this reason Mr.. Glad
ot0ne and Mr.. Parnell are found vigor-
ously opposing measure that appears at
0rst sight devised to relieve the distress
4 of the Irish peasantry. Parnell did not
hesitate to charge that the government
had been persuaded to take up the mea-
sure by landlords who realized that they
could not hold their position much longer
and were anxious to have the value of
their lands helped upwards by this plan.
he wanted o commission empowered to
dx The value Of rack rented estates, and
said that arrears should be considered, or
the bill would be futile. The government
tntImated that 1t would deal with the
arrears question in separate measure,
and insisted upon the passage of this bill
unamended, on the ground that the secu.
Eity for the loans would not safely bear
the extension of them. /" 1t would never
do," said Lord Randolph Churchill, "to
make the state the immediate landlord of
the Irish tenantry."
And ~ this would be the alternative
ct the failure Of tenants to pay when due
tho money loaned for the purchase, his
caution seems well grounded. 1t is quite
evident that very little good can come ol
the plan, and possibly its projectors have
only introduced it as tub to the Irish
whale to keep him interested while the
1ines libel case is dragging slowly on.

Plenty Of Money For Banks.

In an editorial on " The Railroad to
Lancaster the New Holland Clarion
refers to the statement Of DR.. Wicker
sham at the last meeting of the Board Of
Trade, and adds: "Wc have been told
this week that elOO, 900 Of the bonds have
already been taken, and we have no doubt
whatever that the whole amount will be
taken In short time. In fact IL the
people from Lancaster city, with the
means at their command would manifest
the grit and energy that the people OF
New Holland displayed in the building
Of the extension from Honeybrook to this
place, the whole amount needed would
be secured within week."
The New Holland people are evidently
getting quite out Of patience with the
Lancaster people, whose apathy in the
matter surprises them, and the Clarion
man gives several broad hints Of
coming wrath IL our moneyed men
do not speedily open their purses TO
help along the enterprise. After showing
how very well the road must pay, the
Clarion observes: "There should, there
fore, be no huckstering or hesitancy about
this venture, and at this end of the line
there is none"
Inasmuch as the bondholders will
only get four per cent. no matter how the
road pays, the application Of. the there.
fore " in the above is not very clear. 1t
would be better to put 1t thus: AS the four
per cent. on the bonds is assured with
reasonable certainty and the road will be
OF immense benefit to both New Holland
and Lancaster, 1t would be wise for citi-
zsns with interests in either place and
with money to invest, to en-.
