Snhfarranean Channels.

Ou the place Of W. b. Keele, Way

water In them seems to be boiling all the

disclosed that the bubbliug is caused
from air issuing from tissues In the earth
below the surface Of the water. Where
the air comes from is mystery, as the

Animals at Play.

Naturalists have frequently commented
upou the similarity Of traits displayed by
children and young quadrupeds. Love-
hate fear and JOY are feelings which are
apparently shared in common by human
beings and dumb animals, and those
who have made a study OF animal life
declare that a certain amount Of play or
recreation is as much necessity to GER
tain young animals as to children.
By careful observation the writer IS
congnced that the following games are
played by young animals in much the
same manner as by children: Tag, in a
variety Of ways, running races, Jumping
matches, wrestlng.bouts, balI-playlns
and "hide aud seek" The following
are few incidents in support Of this
theory:
1t isa common sight to dogs and cats
romping aud playing together. The
writer has seen dog and cat playing
"tar" as truly as ever children do; caa'-
ing each other in turn until they grew
weary of the fun. Then the dog would
moss out a comfomfortable spA, and
having turned around the regulation
number of times-which only a dog
knows-would lie down, aud the cat
would curl up close beside him, and the
pair would fall asleep like tired children.
Have you never seen dogs wre'tling'
I have watched them with their fore
paws upon each others shoulders stand
ing upon their hind legs, painting and
strainiug, each apparently endeavoriug
to throw the other, until both fell in a
close embrace and rolled over and over.
The one which anally succeeded in re-
naming uppermost was plainly proad OF
its victory.
While in Central PARK the other day
I was much amused in watching two
squirrels which were plainly enjoying
the game familiar to children as "Squa'
tag" One squirrel started oil over the
grass, closely followed by the other, un'
til the first "squatted" upon its hauuchc'
or "herkies, as the young people say
Then the parts were exchanged, the
second squirrel now being "it.' By and
by, with a whisk of the tail they were
of for the nearest tree, whele they
amused themselves by playing "hide and
seek. -
No small boy enjoys game OF bal
better than kitten, though the kitten,
to be sure, invariably plays "nand
ball." aud often plays alone. 1t will
amu,e itself By the hour, gently batting
some object with its paws, sending II
now here, now there, keeping 1t con
tinually in motion, aaJ evidently enjoy
ing every moment Of the play.
l was much interested one day in the
actions Of goldfish in an aquarium. Th'
fish was resting quietly within fe"
inches of the surface, when it suddenly
elected a fish scale from its mouth.
As the scale was slowly sinking, the
fish suddenly darted downward, drc
the scale into its mouth and rose toward
the surface, while it remained motion
less for several moments. The whole
performance vas repeated several times
Whatever may have been the exacl
motive which prompted these actions on
the part OF the 6sh, we may fairly con
clude that the object was recreation. =

POULTRY PICKlNGS.

THE hens second year is the most
profitable.
GUINEAs are great layers and their
eggs are rich.
EARLY Matched chickens bring the
best prices and the most money.
WHEN the fowls get too fat an exclu-
sive feed of oats will reduce them.
THOROUGH whitewashing inside and
out will aid in killing out the lice.
DAMP quarters and stagnant water
often prove fatal to turkeys and chick
ems !.
THERE is no advantage in Matching
out goslings until grass gets a good
start
UNTIL the weather gets warmer
whole corn can be given at night with
benefit.
PROPERLY fed duck at nine or ten
weeks old should weigh four pounds, a
chicken two pounds.
BANrAMs may be thing of beauty,
but for practical poultry keeping for
profit generally they are nuisance.
THE best cross for sitting hens is a
vigorous pet game cock with good part
ridge Cochin hens; this also makes a
good table fowl.
THE early chicken is the largest and
strongest, and will never be overtaken
by the ones that are Matched out late;
push the early Matching.
TURKEYS, ducks, geese and guineas
can be Matched in the incubator as
well as chickens, and can be raised in
brooder.

Little Judith, the eight year old
daughter of Mr.. Mullineaux, of the In
land Christian AdUOcdte, Des Moines,
Iowa, on learning that her special
playmate, child of her own age, had
taken the whooping cough, took bot
tie of medicine, which had cured her of
a troublesome cough, and went over
and said; You must take this medi-
cine; it will do you good" Mr.. Multi
neaux was curious as to the result and
on making inquiry learned that the lit
tie neighbor, who had been unable to
rest at night, had been greatly relieved
in that respect The paroxysms were
neither so frequent, severe or endurir Q.
The cough, under the genial action of
this admirable remedy, was loosened.
The medicine liquefies the mucus and
enables the sufferer TO throw it off. The
attack in the beginning gave every evil
dence of being severe attack of
whooping cough. Indeed it was a gen
uine case; but this preparation, while
perhaps it may not be a positive cure
for the disease, is undoubtedly able to
alleviate it. If it does not cure it. it
will give unquestionable relief. The

During important crises when the
cabinet is awaiting kilograms from
abroad, the members may have nothing
to do. 1t is related that during one
such meeting Mr.. Foster and Lord
Granville passed the time over a game
OF chess in the garden at tie back of the
cabinet room.
THE SOVEREIGN KEPT INFORMED.
One person alune is regularly inform
ed of what passes at cabinet meetings
the sovereign. The prime minister
writes out precis of the business, but
whether this duty is fully or meagerlY
discharged the public is not aware.
How this information is utilized by the
sovereign is of no great consequence.
The crown may offer advice in any
difficulty. but cannot order or command
the cabinet to do anything. And yet it
is the general belief that king would
give a cabinet much more trouble by
interference than queen such as her
present gracious majesty has proved.
Before the Georges came to the throne
the monarch PRESSED at meetings the of
cabinet. George 1. and George IL. IN
derstood so little English that they were
unable 10 follow the cabinet business,
and absented themselves, and when
George III. came to the throne the
precedent of conducting business in
private had been so well established
that his majesty was excluded. Obvi-
ously the presence of the sovereign
would operate to stife free discussion
and produce constraint. That there il
frequently much friction in cabinet is
we'll known, and differences are settled
by divisions, the minority being bound
by the majority. 1t always happens
that there are some members more adj
vanced than others in their views
Should irreconcilable differences of
opinion arise, the opponents of the gen.
eral policy resolved upon on any mater
Ial issue is bound to resign. No cabinet
can stand a number of secessions. 1t is
very improper to reveal how a cabinet
stands on any question, but very shrewd
guesses are often made as to the real
situation. A minister who, at the head
of bis department, acts contrary to
decision arrived at by the cabinet may
be dismissed. There was in an instance
of this when the headstrOng Lord Pal
merston had the seals of the foreign
office withdrawn from him, because of
his own volition he had approved Louis
coup Diet at in France.

THE CABINET CHAMBER.

The cabinet sittings are held in one
room of very moderate sizes, where it
is unnecessary to talk louder than in
conversational tone TO be heard. We
may we'll imagine that no speeches are
made in that apartment III throaty,
believing voice, accompanied with
gestures and fist-thumping on the table.
That would not be the way to convince
the men who have to listen to the
speeches The furniture is of tho plain
est. A good sized solid table. such as
would accommodate dozen directors
of an insurance company, occupies the
center. Common but solid chairs are
placed around the table. A carpet of
venerable aspect covers the floor.
Hansard's Parliamentary Debates
adorn the SHELVES over the fireplace
mantel somewhat heavily. A few maps
are rolled up or unfurled at the door
end, aud that is literally all the room
contains, except pens and ink, blotting
pads, clock, waste paper baskets,
tireirons and coal scuttle. The win
dows are double; the door is double
Perhaps the chimney is stuffed, that no
sound may reach eavcsdroppers. No
one who is not of the cabinet is allowed
TO be present at the meeting-not even
a servant. Sometimes, however, offic-
ials of high standing are sent for in
order to give in ormation on matters
under consideration. They do not re-
main longer than is necessary. Not
even q secretary to keep minutes is
present. In fact the general under
standing is that no one shall make notes
of what passes, and that if notes are
made they shall be destroyed before the
meeting breaks up This precautior
