INSTINCTS OF CATTLE.
Why They Are Excited by the Color Red
Experience ON the Painpas.


When we consider that blood is red;
that the smell OF 1t is, or may be, or
has been, associated with that vivid
hue in the animals mind; that blood,
seen or smclt, is, or has been, associ-
ated with the sight OF wounds and
with cries OF pain and rage or terror
from the wounded or captive animal,
there appears TO be some reason for
connecting these two instructive pas
sions as having the same origin
namely, terror and rage caused by
the sight OF member OF the herd
struck down and bleeding, or strug-
Cling for life in the grasp of an enemy.
L do not mean to say that such an
image is actually present in the ami
mails mind, but that the inherited or
instructive passion is one in kind and
in its working with the passion Of the
animal when experience and reason
was its guide. But the more l con-
slider the point the more am / in
clined TO regard those two instincts as
separate in their origin, although /
retain the belief that cattle and
horses and several wild animals are
violently excited by the smell of blood
for the reason just giyen-namely,
their inherited memory associates the
smell Of blood with the presence
among them Of some powerful enemy
that threatens their life.
The following incident will show
how violently this blood passion some
times affects cattle, when they are
permitted to exist in half-wild con-
ditiOn, as on the pampas. / was out
with my gun one day, few miles
from home, when / came across Il
patch on the ground where the grass
was pressed or trodden down and
stained with blood. / concluded that
some thievish gauchOs had slaugh-
tered a fat cow there On the previous
night, and, to avoid detection, had
somehow managed to carry the whole
of it away on their horses.
AS / walked on, a herd of cattle,
numbering about three hundred, APP
peared, moving slowly on toward u
small stream mile away; they were
travelling in thin, long line, and
would pass the blood-stained spot at
distance Of seven to eight hundred
yards, but the wind from it would
blow across their track. When the
tainted wind struck the leaders OF
the herd, they instantly stood still,
raising their heads, then they broke
into loud, excited bellowings, and
finally turning they started off at
fast trot, following up the scent in a
straight line, until they arrived ut the
place where one of their kind had met
its death. The cOntagion spread, and
before long all the cattle were con-
gregated on the fatal spot, and began
moving around in a dense mass, bel
lowing continually.
1t may be remarked here that the
animal has peculiar language on Oc-
casiOns like this; it emitS succession
OF short believing cries, like excited
cXclamatiCns, followed by a very loud
cry, alternately sinking into hoarse
murmurand rising to kind of scream
that CRATES harshly on the sense. OF
the ordinary "cow music" | am great
admirer, and take as much pleasure
in it rs in the cries and melodies OF
birds and the sound OF the wind in
trees; but this performance of cattle
excited by the smell of blood is most
distressing to hear.

Gov. Boies whistIing Another Tune.


When Boies, of Iowa, first ran for
governor the burden of his speech was
that the farmers were being loaded
down with taxation, that the industries
OF the state were languishing in conse-
quence of prohlbitory tariff, and that
under the influence of this robbery"
Iowa was growing poorer instead of
richer. In his campaign last fall the
Governor still lamented the ruinous
condition of things under the Repub-
lican tariff robbery" The state audi
tor of Iowa, and he happens to be a
Democrat, has issued his report, and it
shows that during the past year the
banks in that state, not including ma
tional banks, increased in number 70
and increased in deposits $l3, 300, 900.
lowa's agricultural products were of the
value of S3S0,000,000.
But, more than that, Gov. Boies now
says that the people OF Iowa are blessed
with more general prosperity than at
any previous time in their history; that
the agricultural lands of the state have
advanced in value; that an impetus has
been given to the upbuilding of cities
and towns, and that an era of prosper
ity has come to the manufacturing and
mining industries.
1t will strike an observing person that
Gov. Boies is very much of dema-
gogue. In his two campaigns for gov
ernor he was very bitter in the war he
waged against the Republican tariff law.
He went up and down the state pro-
claiming that the people were bankrupt,
that agriculture was depressed beyond
everything ever before known, and that
no relief could come until the tariff
curse was removed. Now that he is in
office, and there is no more use of dem
agogic speeches, he is honest enough to
give the truth, and it must bother the
Governor not little to confess that all
this prosperity of which he now so
loudly boasts was achieved under the
law which he and his party vigorously
denounced az a niece Of robherv

MT. Biaine's Right TO Be a Candidate.

The remark is often heard that "Mr.
Blaine ought not to be candidate while
secretary of state under President Har-
rison." This, when examined, is a
somewhat absurd view. If the people
desire man it makes no difference
what station in life he is holding. They
have the right to ask him to serve them.
If member of the cabinet should be q
candidate it will be purely personal
question between him and the Presi-
dent whether he should remain in Office
or resign. The question does not in the
least affect his right to candidacy. 1t is
one to re settled by the President alone
or by the President and himself.
In 1852, when Mr.. Webster was Sec
rotary of state under President Fill

Here is a wonderful increase of ex-
ports in 1S9l-and December is not in
Guided, for the official figures are not yet
obtained-over the previous year. The
increase in imports for 1891 is due to
the fact that $22,000,0O0 was for tin
plate imported during the first six
months of the year to escape paying
the new duty. 1t is the last opportunity
England will ever have again of inn
porting that much tin to this country in

A New Arctic Travel Scheme.

There is young man in Truckee,
CAL, who thinks he has solved the
problem of Arctic travel, and brought
the North Pole within the pale Of civili-
zation. The machine ne has invented
is q sort Of steam-motor sleigh. He
has been using the first machine which
he constructed-a small one run by
hand power-for snow and ice travel
among the mountains during the last
two years with entire success. he is
now having made at the iron works a
large one to be run by steam power. IL
no Arctic explorer takes advantage of
this new means of reaching the North
Pole by express he will use it for haul
ing passengers and towing logs and car
rying freight in the high Sierras, and
will have it on hand for transferring
passengers over snow blockades on the
Central Pacific. He might find field
for his invention If he would join the
proposed Perry relief expedition.

tract of land between Daniel Gaby and AL

grant and Mr.. Thompson entered upon it
as government land. Mr.. Gaby started a
