CAN ANIMALS COUNTY
A Pelican Which Possessed tho Faculty
of AgSoclatInr Ideas.

Houzeau de la Hale tells of pelican
living in a fisherman's family at Santo
Domingo that was fed upon the refuse Of
the fsh-cleaning Looking for its food, 1t
went to the shore every day and waited
for the boats TO come back. The fisher
men rested ON Sunday, and the bird ac-
quired so clear a notion of the return Of
that day, when it had to fast that it
would not stir from the tree on which it
was accustomed to spend its time. 1t Is
not necessary to suppose that the pelican
had learned to count the six days at the
end of which its masters would not go
fishing; but, while it really estimated
daily the time wnen it must make its ex-
cursion to the shore, II was informed OF
the return of Sunday by observation of
what was going on in the house, as, for
instance by the fishermen putting on
their Sunday clothes; in the same way as
the dog knew when its master was going
to hunt by seeing him with his gun and
game bag In such instances, animals
show that they have the faculty Of associ-
ating ideas, of observing consecutive
facts, and establishing Il correlative con-
nection between them-things which havo
been proved by abundance of other evil
dence, and which demonstrate not less in
telligence than acquaintance with the ten
signs exposing the first ten numbers, or
the use of u system of enumeration to ex-
press larger numbers. .-Mme. Clemenee

A Champion Midwinter Lie.

The champion midWinter story is
told as follows: Mr.. Paul sells milk
and brings it from the 'N0lch' every
day. OF course. it's always colder
and more stormy up there than any
where else, but to accept his state
ment as accurate it did blow some in
his neighborhood last Saturday night.
Early Monday morning he went into a
house with his daily supply of the lac
teal fluid and the lady remarked to
him that the wind blew Saturday
night. Said he: oh, you know nothing
about it down here. | went out Sat
urday night to the barn aud was re-
turning with IA pail of milk, when the
blizzard struck me. | had u lantern
fastened to me with strap and the
wind blew that out and the lantern
went into the air, but chung to it
and it drew me several feet from the
ground. The milk in the pail fell out,
and as it poured toward the ground the
wind struck it. | managed to get to
the house without the lantern or pail,
and this morning, on the corner of
Center and Marshall streets, | found
that milk Just as the wind blew it
about a rod of milk frozen stiff, and
just as the wind had it when | saw it
before. The wind was so furiorE, that
it kept that milk in the air in wavy
line till it froze stiff, and then blew
down to the village, probably coming
through the Bellows pipe. broke it
up, loaded it into my wagon, took it
home, thawed it out, and now it's as
good milk as ever '-NOrth adams

The Lovely Maid and the Kind German

and their habit of putting their knives
in their mouths, is Il less familiar char
acter. This same German, during one
of his strolls in Capri. saw a beautiful
girl in the old costume of the island,
bending over frightful precipice.
lIurriedly advancing, the kind man, in
his best German-Italian, besought her
to leave the dangerous spot. But the
girl would not stir, only sadly shook
her head. "Lofely maid" cried the
German, ''why do you despair? Are
there no men more in the world, that
you, so charming, so handsome, should

purpose, you seek to die!' Trembling
with emotion, the girl turned her head

girl turned her streaming eyes full
upon him, and, starting up suddenly,
answered: THE signore is right; will
not do it," The German went away
rejoicing; he had saved the poor crea-
lures life. But the next day, chanc-
ing to pass the spot, he was thunder

vOus system plays in the maintenance

Whenever, owing to any derange

TO be carried out, disorder enSueS, the
mldeSt form of which is catarrh -
namely, the blocking up of the skin OF
outer surface of the body, with the
consequent transferencc of the cXcre.

tates the blood by its retention, and
ultimately eXpands itself by the nose
and throat. For example, if the ncr-
vOus system lie feeble sweating would
probably be induced, and consequent

probably follow. As fact, there are

Some Hints as to How to Avoid Catching
Them

Some Hints as to How to Avoid Catching
Them
Man is what is known as a warm
blooded animal. that is, he possesses
the capacity under all circumstances
of maintaining an average uniform
temperature. Whether he live i'll the
froSt-bOund arctic regions or in the
burning districts of Central Africa the
heat of the blood is the same. In sum-
mer and winter alike if we except
perhaps, certain abnormal states of the
body due to the eXcitation or dcpreS-
sion of the vital processes in various
diseases, the average temperature of
the human body is 9S.l degrees Fahren-
heit.
Now, this is a remarkable fact, as. in
view of the peculiar source from
which animal heat is derived, namely,
from the combustion of uScd-up tissue
with the oxygen OF inspired air, il
stands to reason that the heat of thG
blood cannot remain constant for five
minutes together, as with every move
ment of orr muscles We ada Goals to
the human gre; and the regulation of
all our movements, so as to preserve a
uniform temperature, would be an utter
impossibilty. How, then, is the OBJ
jcct achieved?
The superiluous heat is disposed of
by conductiOn and radiation in the
caparillaries of the skin and by evapo-
ration through the sweat glands and
air passages, and when there is no SUI
perlluous heat to dispose of. the skin
contracts to prevent evaporation of
moisture from the surface.
Thus. when we exert ourselves,
there Is increased waste or tissue. ant

OFFENDED VANITY.

"coloncl,' poor Pedro Gomez having
once been in the Mexican army, where
he received a wound in the head,
which was the real cause of his de-

His religious mania grew on him
until he almost became fixture in

prayed in loud voice and made such
whimsical requests of his patron
