MOTIF AND COMMENT

The examination Of affairs in the pension
office, which Secretary Noble has ordered,
should be welcomed by Commissioner
Tanner. His administration Of the bureau
has been the object OF fierce attack by
every sympathizer with Mr.. Cleveland's
hostility to the veterans ever since he was
appointed. He WAS sinner In the eyes
Of hi. critics before he took the oath of
office, and has aggravated his offending by
cool Indifference to the sentiment Of the

SOME PETS OF SCIENCE.

An English scientific man, Mr.. p. b.
Poulton, has been propagating family
of many-toed cats, concerning which he
makes biennial reports to the British
Association for the Advancement OF
Science He has individuals down to
the tenth generation, the founder OF the
family being cat with six toes on each
foot. Many of the descendants have in
herited the popularity with more or
less modification, some having seven
toes on each foot. Another eminent OBJ
server. Sir John Lubbock, has been
adding to our store of knowledge by
patiently studying his nests OF ants. In
one Of these queen-ant lately died
after a residence in it since 1874, the
creature being therefore as much as
fourteen wears of age-much the oldest
;nsect on record. Sir John has also
oiven attention to bees and wasps. ne
tells us that about $500 species OF w1la
bees are known and 1,1o0 of wasps' ana
that their habits differ widely. one
interesting fact-and no fact Is 50 sos, sm ,a

arrived at the prison he knew no trade.
He was put at work as granite cut
ter. He soon became so expert that he
was able to do the work of three men.
