Intelligence OF Young Animals.

There is one Characteristics implied
in Prof. Vogt's argument which
seems to bear more fsvorably to his
thesis. 1t is that the young ape, the
orang or chimpanzse, for example, is
more intelligent than the adult. This.
We might say, is because it is descend
ed from "A more Intelligent ancestor
than recent apes. But greater iutelli-
gence rs a rule with all young animals,
well, if We take the circumstances into
account, as with man. Tue brain is at
that period larger in proportion to the
body it IS In some sense virgin. more

The following extract from an inter

Bly,, printer in the n. Y. World, Oeto-
Der 2Sth, will show who Neliis BY is:
Il was somewhat nervous about ny
visit to Mrs. Grant. 1 only knew her
as the wife of the famous general; the
successful hostess for e.g1t years in The
White House; the woman who had, fn
making tour of the world. been re-
ceived as queen in every civilized land.
Would any one wonder, then at my
apprehension. when women of so much
meaner light SO often Try to parry all
attempts at approach? But 1 was
wrong.

How to Sharpen a Pocket knife

A large dealer ia cutlery expresses
the opinion that not one msn in ifty
knows how to sharpen a pocket knife.
"a razor," says he, must be laid
fat on the hone, being hollow ground
and requiring a fine edge. But pock-
ct knife requires a stiff edge, and the
moment you lay it fat on a stone, so as
to touch the polished side, you ruin the
edge. The blade must be held at an
angle of twenty or twenty-five degrees
and have an edge similar to chlsel.
This is technically called the camel, ,
and is marked on all new knives by a
6ns white line which does not remove
or touch the polished surface. Knives
improperly whetted are often condemn
ed as COO hard OF too soft without rea-
son."

Individuality of the Horse.

One thing curious and interesting
about the horse is its individuality.
This is ch common 10 all
animals. undoubtedly to greater or
less degree, but surprisingly SO. We
think, in the case of horse. How this
characteristic varies in horses is well
known by anyone who has ever intelli-
gently drawn a rein over a good road
ster. The individuality of horses var
les as much as that of men. Every one
has different mental as well as physi-
Cal make up. Some horses seem TO pos
sess brains, to have some sense. are
quick to understand and obey the least
sign, motion or word of their master.
Some men drive aid use horses for
years and yet never realize that they
more difference between them than
there is between so many barrels or saw
logs. Other men who handle horses a
great deal, who buy and sell frequently
and study much their differep. charac-
teristics, will tell you how wonderful
horses are. how much they will some
times teach even their drivers. Be
tween a nervous, sensitive, intelligent
horse and his conslderate owner how
large union of fellowship and sym
pafhy exists. In the stable, on the
road. il overraken by an accident, the
cool. sensible man is sure TO have a
quick sympathy from his faithful horse.
He trusts his master as his master
trust HIM. II the master is quiet the
horse will be equally so, knowing that
everything is safe. If the master blus-
ters or becomes anxious or exhibits fear,
the horse knows it at once and becomes
Festive likewise. On. that men only
knew that horses know much more than
they give them credit for, and that they
would use them more humanely than
they do now. Horses are not brutes-
they are noble. intelligent, sensible
creatures, the most useful animal SER
want which Divine goodness. has given
10 man.

A PRISONERS EXPERIENCE.

Escaped in q Garbage Barrel, and Then
Squealed to Get Out.
JACKSON, MICH, July 27.-David r.
Palmer, sent to prison for life for the
murder of his wife, had been an exem-
plary prisoner and given more than the
usual liberties. This morning he was
filling large cask with scraps, when
an idea struck him. He put false
head in the cask about midway of its
length and then, placing citizens
clothes, q hammer and a chisel in
the barrel, got in himself. Another head
was fastened to the cask by Palmer s
fellow-convicts and the cask was taken
to the freight Office. As it was being
loaded on the car the freight handlers
heard wild appeal for pity, which they
could not at first understand. Finally
one of the men opened the cask and
drew the prisoner out more dead than
alive. Palmer was turned over to the
authorities. He declares he would
rather stay in prison for life than to
undergo again such torture as he ex-
perienced the three hours he spent in
the caSk.

VALUE !, 4 OF NnoRo LABOR.

Southern HranufActursrs Consider BLACKS
Superior for Common labor and Salts.
faotory In the shops
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July 27.--The
Tradesman has instituted an inquiry
with reference to the value Of negro
labor In industrial channels in the
South. The Inquiries were sent to three
hundred leading Southern manufacture
ers, representing blast furnaces, rolling
mills, miscellaneous iron works, mines,
lumber mills, saw mills, etc. The
replies, without q single excep-
tion, show that there Is no differ
ence at all between the pay Of
whites and blacks for the same class Of
work. The manufacturers are practi-
cally unanimous in the opinion that for
common labor in the Southern States
the negro is more efficient and useful
than the whites, and without an except
ion they declare themselves we'll salts
fed with the negro in the factory, and
announce their determination to con-
tinue him in his place. Many state that
he is making progress in skilled work.
The Tradesman adds that the condition
Of the negro is constantly improving,
and % an industrial factor his useful.
ness Is now recognized by all.

Eight hundred Hunparians made

Eight hundred Hungarians made q
pilgrimage to Turin to do homage to
Kossuth on July 7th. They had grand
banquet at which Kossuth, now aged
eighty-seven made a speech an hour
and quarter long, marked with the
same great rhetorical powers that dis
tinguished him of old. He still mourns
the dual government of the Austrian
empire and the rule of the Hspsburgs.
and declared that he could not return to
his native country 80 long as it formed
part OF the government of Austria. He
is writing his memoirs, though he is go
apt to drop into roveries on past times
that the work goes on very slow.
