Plants and Animals.


The reasons why plant should al
ways be called plant, and an animal
an animal, are not always very appar
ent. An animal is conscious being. I
mean that it knows how to discriminate
between this and that, reasons about
what is good for it, rejects what expe-
rience has Informed it is not good for it
and has special senses. It is conscious
being-indeed reasons, discriminates.
Here is great gulf between the ami
NAL and the plant! Most Of us are ready
to acknowledge such simple truths, and
we are all wrong, for the differences
when sifted are only those Of greater
and lesser degree. Some plants like
shade; some like light. Why? Well, why
do we under some circumstances prefer
dark and under others light? When we
are healthy, we can digest meat and re-
ject with good reason meal of sticks
and stones. A carnivorous plant receives
and digests a proportionate meat meal,
but feed it with pebbles and bits of stick,
and it refuses to receive such dainties.
We bend beneath blow, we protect
ourselves from further injuries that we
judge may follow-so do the sensitive
plants.
With the aid of a specialist in this
class of work I am trying to demonstrate
the presence Of nervous tissue in plants.
So far we have not been successful, but
the circumstantial evidence is SO strong
.tlsea ne {, NAV feel quite certain that bet
ter methods of demonstration VIII give
ocular evidence Of what we seek. The
proofs of the struggle for existence in
both animal and plant life have been
prettily told by Taylor. -Gentleman'

When old Kaiser Wilhelm was still
Prince Of Prussia, he had one day at
Babelsberg, near Potsdam, his beautiful
and ever favorite residence, visit from
that prince among landscape gardeners,
Furst Hermann Won Puckler- Muskan,,
who somewhat bluntiy expressed his
disappointment at the slow rate of prog
ress in certain improvements in the
grounds-improvein which he had
himself suggested on the occasion Of @
previous visit. The future emperor plead
ed his limited means. 'But does your
royal highness never borrow money!"
queried Prince Plckler, evidently much
amazed. sNeyer, my dear prince, twas
the smiling reply. s'fhen your royal
highness has never tasted life's greatest
delight-to wit, the pleasure Of finding
yourself able to pay yonr debts, after

by the death Of dentist from blood

happened to get his finger into the pt-

spread SO rapidly that an operation,
which was performed on the same day,
had no effect. The next day he became
