MENTAL CAPACITY IN ANIMALS.
Many Instances Cited showing How They
Profit BY Experience.

Profit BY Experience.
A Vienna publication contains an article
by a French writer in which he speaks
Of the mental capacity Of animals as an
admitted fact and that a soul and intel
ligence has been ascribed to them which
differs from mans in degree only and not
in kind He speaks of the merit Of doing
Justice to the mental worth Of beasts as
being one TO the fearless and unpreJ JUDGED
investigations Of natural science.
"The proofs that experience is the
guide Of life among the lower animals
may be found very low in the scale OF
animal organisms. says the writer. Ihe
razor-shell, Ga mollusk as soon as the
tide retreats, buries itself in the sand,
often to the depth of seven feet. The
fishermen who hunt them use n long,
thin iron rod, hooked at the end, or they
sprinkle little salt in the hole to drive
out its occupant. This generally succeeds
there is a movement in the sand, and
half the creature appears on the surface.
With quick movement the fishermen
tries TO seize him If this fail, the mol
luslS vanishes into his hole, and all tho
Establishments Of the fishers art would
fail to tempt him out second time
the mollusk has proited by experience.
A fox that has once been caught in
trap, and fortunately regained his free
dom, will profit by the experience and be
ware of traps in future. The same is
true Of many other animals and of birds
also. Quail which have once been netted
by the allurements of the "call, If they
regain their freedom, win never be
allured by it again.
Bortase tells a very interesting story
Of how a lobster got the better of an
oyster. The lobster several times in
serted his claws in the half open shell,
but the oyster always closed in time to
save himself The lobster then seized a
stone and inserted it quickly into
the cautiously opened shell and devoured
the OYSTER.

GAS STOVES

Are invaluable and should be investi-
gated by careful housekeepers.
About !, 200 are in use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased if
their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers" they are unrivalled and
are far superior to coal or wood stoves in
cooking meats or vegetables.
AS Water Heaters" and "lroners"
they are most useful, especially when the
weather is too warm to use the ordinary
stove or range.
AS a heating apparatus that can be
moved from room TO room in a few min
utes by the housekeepcr they are most
convenient
AS assistant heaters in rooms where
furnaces or steam heat will not ascend
on the windward side they have gwen
great satisfaction.
AS permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating iues they
have given much comfort.
As intermittent heaters, where heat is
wanted only an hour or two at time
they are economical
For Offices and stores, when the weather
is rather warm for furnace fires, they
may prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesoWe and expensive, they are comfort
able and economical.
AS fires that can be started in a min
ute and extinguished in less time they
are most satisfactory.
AS heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL
GAS and DUST, they are valued by pru-
dent housekeepers.
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
but are ornamental
The gas, the stoves, the fixtures and
the putting in are inexpensive.
Samples and descriptions can be seen
