RIGHTS OF ANIMALS.
Perhaps We Ought to Treat Them With
More Civility and Respect.

Perhaps We Ought to Treat Them With
More Civility and Respect.
Sir Arthur HELMS insisted on "cour-
tesy" to animals We are to be civil
spoken to them, and not to bully where
we might persuade. Count Tolstoi
never uses the Y, nip; he simply talks
to his horse Mr.. Bright long since fol-
lowed on the same side as Sir Arthur
Helps. He thought that kindness to
animals should be taught at school.
This is awkward, says g. writer in the
London Daily News, for he loved to
hook some of them by the gills, for
sport. 1t is needless to say that every
form Of sport is barred by Mr.. Salt
and his school. There is, Of course, no
lack Of champions on the other side.
Some writer's argue that because ami
mails have mo souls" we are entitled
to do what we like with their bodies.
Mr.. Wood-the naturalist-altogeth
declined to accept the premises. What
do we know about their souls? he ask
ed; and it is clear enough that he hoped
his faithful dog would bear him COM
pany in the next world. The brutes,
he said, have reason, language, mem
ory, a sense Of moral responsibility, un-
selfshness and love, and there are no
higher qualities in the spiritual bag
gage of man. If they have no hope Of
a future life, argued Primatt, one Of
their earliest champions, there Is all
the more reason for acknowledging
their right to good time in this one.
Bentham pleaded logically in their
favor, but rather gave them away in
defending roast beef on the ground that
their pains in providing it were not
equal to our pleasures in the use.
The "vermin" argument Is said to be
worthless. "Vermin" Is a mere phrase.
The animal feels or it does not feel,
and if it feels it has it's rights. The
Hindoos apparently have no difficulty
about that and in Theosophical houses,
we believe, beetles have been known
to range freely about the drawing
room. The rule is absolute: nothing
must be killed. But then how does the
Hindoo walk abroad, or even breathe
He must put hundreds Of things to
death in each operation Probably
every morning stroll Of innocence
through the meadows imports whole
hecatomb of slain. Small birds are
pretty plain sailing. We are all agreed
that the murder for millinery goes too
far. One dealer in London is said to
have received, as a single consignment,
$4,000 humming birds, $4,000 aquatic
birds and $4,000 pairs Of wings.

But Edwin was inconsistent. He
had no sooner ended his appeal than
he said grace and carved the chicken" :"

the long run our prohibitions are only
such as touch other peoples pleasures.

Defies La Grippe.

The editor Of the Valdosta Telescope
Is suffering with the grip, but he ex-
poets to recover. He says: When Ia
grippe jumped down on mankind four
or five years ago it was the most royal
malady in existence. For a time a
fellow might have thought that its
ravages were confined to kings, czars,
emperors and the like, until it crossed
the ocean, tackled the President, intro
duced itself to a few Congressman and
Senator's, and then whetted up an ac-
quaintance with the millionaires and
public generally. 1t continued its
march and broadened its scope until ii
swept the whole range Of vocations,
and this year it has begun missionary
work among the Georgia editors until
you can hear them sneezing from Red
Clay to Tifton. Influenza, la grippe,
you have saved the toughest bird foE
the last, and odds are on the editor
now and hereafter"

OUR NEW COMMISSIONER.

The President, in the appoint
ment of Mr.. Trusedale, to succeed
Col. M. M. Parker, the white
mans Commissioner, has salts
fed the people,
Mr. Trusedale is a man of dlgnl'
ty and honor and will look far
above party feelings to improve
the condition of the city OF mag
niicent distances. The BEE has
no tears to shed for the retire
ment of Col. Parker. 1t would
have been more beneficial to
district republicans had he not
been appointed.
The limited time Col. Parker
was Commissioner he was OF the
opinion that white starving re
publicans should be taken care
Of to the detriment of negro re
publicans, which was his hobby,
whenever he discharged.

How tn Preserve Cider.

A pure, sweet cider is only obtain
able from clean, sound fruit, and the
fruit should, therefore, be carefully ex-
amined and wiped before grinding.
In the press use hair cloth or gunny
in place of straw. As the cider runs
from the press let it pass through a
hair sieve into a large open vessel that
will hold as much juice as can be ex-
pressed in one day. In one day, or
sometimes less, the pomace will rise
to the top, and in a short time grow
very thick. When little white bubbles
break through it draw off the liquid
through a very small spigot placed
about three inches from the bottom,
so that the lees may be left behind.
The cider must be drawn off into very
clean, sweet casks, preferably fresh
liquor casks, and closely watched. The
moment the white bubbles before men.
toned are perceived rising at the bung-
hole, rack it again. 1t is usually nee
essary to repeat this three times Then
fill up the cask, and add tilmbler of
warm sweet oil and bung up tight.
For very fine cider it is customary to
add at this stage of this process about
half a pound of glucose Starch sugar.,
or a smaller portion of white sugar.
The cask should then be allowed to
remain In a cool place until the cider
has acquired the desired flavor.
In the meantime, clean barrels fol-
Its reception should be prepared, as
follows: Some clean strips of rags are
dipped in melted sulphur, lighted and
burned in the bunghole and the bung
laid loosely on the end Of the rag so
as to retain the sulphur vapor within
the barrel Then tie UP half pound
of mustard seed in a coarse muslin
bag and put it in the barrel. fill the
barrel with cider, and add about
quarter of pound of isinglass Or fine
gelatine dissolved in hot water. This
is the old fashioned way, and will keen
cider in the same condition as when
it went into the barrel, if kept in a
cool place. for year.
Professional cider makers are now
using calcium sulphite (sulphite of
hme) instead Of mustard and sulphur
vapor. 1t is much more convenient
and efectuaL To use it, it is simply
requisite to add one-eighth to one-quar-
ter Of an ounce of the sulphite to each
gallon Of cider in. the cask, first mix
ing the powder in about quart of the
cider. and giving the latter thorough
shaking or rolling. After standing
bunged several days to allow the sui
phite to exert its full action it may be
bottled off. The sulphite of lime (Which
should not be mistaken for the sui
phate of hme) is a commercial article,
costing about forty cents a pound by
the barrel. 1t will preserve the sweet
ness Of the cider perfectly; but unless
care is taken not to add too much of
IT. it will impart slight sulphurous
taste to the cider. The bottles and
corks used should be perfectly clean,
and the corks wired down.
A little cinnamon, wintergreen or
sassafras, etc. is often added to sweet
cider in the bottle, together with a
dram or SO of bi-carbonate of soda at
the moment Of driving the stopper.
This helps to neutralize free acids. and
renders the liquid effervescent when
unstopped; but If used to excess it NAV
prejudicially affect the taste.

A ONE-MAN TOWN.
The Curious Experience of a Commercial
Traveller I'm Colorado.

The Curious Experience of q Commercial
Traveller In Colorado.
I have discovered a town in Colorado
which 1 believe is owned body, soul
and spirit by one man. There is moth.
ing very remarkable in all the real
estate of Western city being owned
by a single individual, but this Is the
first time / have ever found place
where the business interests seemed to
be practically in the hands of one man.
The town has perhaps 500 Inhabitants,
and is the centre of good agricultural
district. The first day arrived at it
I went to the hotel, where was intro
duced to the landlord, busy, pushing
individual, who seemed to have no
time to eat, and who kept running out
at short intervals and returning IN
breathless haste. set down his ac-
dvity to a bad case Of boom fever, Dut
was speedily undeceived.
Having occasion to get a bankers
draft cashed, 1 called in at the little
bank, and to my astonishment found
the little hotel proprietor behind the
counter. He greeted me as an old
friend, and it occurred to my mind at
once how readily the Identification
question would be settled if every
hotel keeper were also banker. My
business was transacted promptly and
satisfactorily, and then proceeded to
hire q rig at the livery stable to drive
to small neighboring town, where an
old customer had just started In busi-
ness. When 1 got back in the evening
the hotel proprietor and banker was at
the stable, and it was to him that [
paid the $3 charged for hire. In an
aside he told me that he ran the livery
stable because he could not lease the
building to reliable tenants, adding
that as corn was so cheap there was
a pile of money In the business.
The next morning called at the
only really large store in the town.
When / made my business known the
young man told me that the proprietor
was out, but that he would fetch him.
A moment later the hotel keeper, bank
er and liveryman came in, and | sold
this local Pooh-bah a bill of goods
large enough to make me feel happy
for a couple of days. 1t occurred to
my mind that I might just as well
have shown him the samples at the
hotel, but I did not say 50, and the
transaction was satisfactorily COM
pleted.
The last discovery which astonished
me was when l went for my mail on
the arrival of the afternoon train. In
the Postmaster, who was standing in
his shirt sleeves behind the counter
and distributing mail with great rapid
ity, recognized the man whom had
already met in four different capacf-
ties, and I believe if I had not left the
town that evening I should have dis
covered him in a half dozen more.-A

As TO "BEHEMoTH."
An Inexhaustible supply of Ivory From
the Biblical Monster.

An Inexhaustible supply of Ivory From
the Biblical Monster.
The mammoth. or behemoth, Is not
yet universally regarded as extinct.
According to Siberian and Chinese be
lief the. race is III rely banished under
ground, its blind life' being instantly
terminated by glimpse Of the sum- $
or even the moons rays. The infer
enee might almost be called a logical
one from the state of the unearthed re-
mains.
In several cases the great beast has
emerged from his millennial retire
ment as completely arrayed as il death
had only just overtaken him, his hide
densely clothed with fulvous wool and
that again covered by long black hair;
his name falling over his shaggy shoul-
ders, his antediluvian eyes actually
staring from their sockets! Contem-
pOrary dogs and wolves find mammoth
flesh appetizing in spite Of its semi
fossil character; mammoth bones have
been proved to contain remuneratiye
amount Of gelatne, and in Kamschat-
ka to this day mammoth fat is largely
used for fuel.
The first mammoth tusk seen in west
ern Europe was brought to London in
1911 by one James Logan, who had
purchased it from the Samoyedes; and
Father Avril, Jesuit, who crossed
Siberia in 1856, wrote that ''the Rus
slams have discovered a sort Of ivory
whittier and smoother than that which
comes from India"
The substance was priced, too, as a
styptic, and was said to be derived
from a powerful amphibious creature,
''as big and as dangerous as croco-
die" living chiefly at the mouth Of
the Lena.
Fossil ivory towards the close Of the
eighteenth century became an object
of general commerce, and incredible
quantities were exported from its Arc
tic repository. Middendorf, about fifty
years ago, estimated the annual sale
at 10000 pounds weight, and upward
Of 1,6OO tusks are known to have reach
ed London In 1872.
Yet the supply remains unexhausted,
and may, indeed, be called inexhausti-
BILE. 1t is the demand, which has of
late fallen off or failed In Russia or
China, it Is true, almost exclusive use
is made of the excavated material, but
its brittleness and tendency to dis
coloration practically exclude it from
Western markets.-Edinburgh Review.

Snakes in the Home Circle.

One would hardly expect to find rep
tiles domesticated, but they are found
in that position at Para, not far from
the mouth Of the Amazon, says the
Pail Mall Budget. The stores and
warehouses Of that city are overrun
with vermin Of all sorts, and more es-
pecially rats. To keep down this
plague young boas Or jibolas are placed
in the cellars, and subsiSt comfortably
on the plentiful supply Of food thus af-
forded The Brazilians say that they
keep down to reasonable limits the
rats, which would otherwise play havoc
with any goods they could get at. The
fact that boas feed only at somewhat
long intervals accounts for the fact
that there always seem to be just rats
enough for their subsistence, while they
perform their catlike duties most salts
factorily. But, as we have said, they
also act as very efficient watchdogs.
The skin of the boa is an article of
commerce both in the Brazls and East
ern Asia In the latter its chief use is
to form the heads Of banjos and other
native musical instruments, it being
extremely tough and hard. In Brazil
it is also used at times to make riding

tute for upper" leather, that Of the
anaconda being the best. AS to vital
ity, specimen in my possession, which
had attacked a visitor, lived eighteen
months with an open hole in it's skull
about an inch deep, caused by bar
used to beat it off the men 1t had seiz-
ed. The land boa may be said to have
but one enemy apart from man, and
that, curously, one Of the most insig-
nifcant Of insects, the ant. A certain
species, peculiar to northern Brazil,
make annual pilgrimages from their
jungle retreats to some other point,
often distant many miles, and destroy
every living creature that stays in their
track, except man and domestic ami
mails Or cattle. The monkey Or the
jag1ar knows enough to flee before the
invading host, but the snake does not
appear to realize his danger until at
tackled by millions of his tiny but per
sistent foes. Twistings and writings
are alike in vain to shake them off,
and the passing traveller may often
see, as have seen myself, the bleach
ed skeleton Of huge snake which has
thus been literally devoured alive. The
ants are, Of course, considerably larger
than the British varieties, but seem
puny enemies to successfully demolish
a reptile monarch Of the jungle.
