ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Horses, Dogs, Hens and Ihoncss Foru,
Queer Companionsbips

Horses, Dogs, Hens and Ihoness Form
Queer Companionsbips.
Why it is that animals have such
great dislike for solitude and have fits
of loneliness when shut up by them
selves away from any other living be-
ing is something no one has been able
to explain. Yet it is the fact that all
animals yearn for companionship, even
animals that are wild and fierce.
Remarkably strange and curious are
the friendships animals form. Horses
chum with cats, dogs with geese, and
there are two capital stories, one of how
horse and hen, the other of how n
dog and a hen became fast companions.
The horse and the hen happened to be.
the only occupants of large orchard,
and got to know each other and seldom
were to be found apart. The hens
favorite method of showing her friend
ship was to approach the horse with a
caclle of JOY and rub gently against
his legs, the sagacious equine looking
down upon her kindly and standing
perfectly still in well-satisfied manner
as the feathered wings fluttered about
his legs.
In one of the farms just over the
border line of the annexed district u
hen became so chummy with valuable
retriever that she actually laid her
eggs and Matched her chickens in the
| dogs kennel, and the four-footed beast
enjoyed it immensely. He would
guard by the hour the eggs, and later
the little chickens, and when he had
occasion to go in and out of the house
he would move with the greatest of
care so as not to disturb his feathered
friend.
Geese and dogs are apt to be very
fond of each other. There is story of
| n goose that was rescued by mastiff
from the attack of q fox and was so
| grateful that it could not show the dog
enough attention. 1t left all the other
geese of the farmyard and stayed by
the dog day and night, accompanying
bin daily as he wandered over the
| farm. When the dog fell i'll the goose
| never once left the kennel, and in it's de-
| votion it would have starved to death If
a handful of corn had not been brought
to it every day.

marked, and it is we'll known that if
for any reason the stable cat is killed or
taken away the horse will get impatient
and nervous over it.
A remarkable case is on record of one
of the Derby favorites few years ago,
Galeopsis, who some months before the
race got into state of positive melan-
cholia, which was rapidly pulling him
down. Veterinarians examined him
and found that his trouble was purely
nervous one, brought about through
excessive loneliness. Nothing could be
done for him until a shrewd stable hand
happened to suggest animal compan-
ionship. A goat and kid were intro
duced into the stable with great sue
cess, and the race horse picked up so
that on the day of the event he was able
to make fine showing.
An eyewitness of this describes
Galeopsis' satisfaction as follows: Gal
eopsis seemed to take much interest
in them until the goat died; but the
kid remained, and the horse now vastly
diverted himself by lifting the little
creature up by the back of its neck
with his teeth, putting it down in the
manger, carefully placing it on the
ground again after awhile and then re-
peating the operation.
There was once lioness in the Dub
lin geological gardens who had arrived
at an advanced age and was so feeble
that she was unable to drive away the
rats that used to annoy her by biting
her feet. The trainer at last evolved
the scheme of putting good rat terrier
into her cage. She received the dog at
first with an angry growl and decided
symptoms of aversion, but as soon as
the little brute grabbed the first rat and
shook the life out of it she began to un-
derstand what he was there for, and at
once took great fancy to him. She
coaXed him to her side, put her paws
around him and night after night
the little terrier used to sleep close up
to her, both in a state of mutual great
content.-N. Y. World.

ACTION OF THE RAIN.
How 1t Assists in the Process of Wearing
Away Huge Rocks.

How IT. Assists in the Process of Wearing
Away Huge Rocks.
The rain falling on the rocks sinks
into every crack and crevice, carrying
with it into these fissures surface ma
terial which has been degraded by the
weather, and thus affording a matriX
sufficient to start the growth of vegeta-
tion, and afterward to maintain the
plants. The fibers and roots of these
plants, bushes and trees thus brought
into life, growing and expanding act
as wedges to split up the surface of the
rock and to commence the process of
wearing away. From this quality of
destruction large class of plants de-
rive the name of SaXifrages, or rock
breakers, from their roots penetrating
into the minute assures in search of
water, and so assisting in the process
of disintegration. In winter the water
collected in the hollows and crevices
becomes frozen, and expanding as it
changes into ice, acts like charge of
blasting material in breaking up the
rocks. The pieces thus detached be-
come further disintegrated by frost and
weather, and being rolled over and over
and rubbed against each other as they
are carried away down the noun

smaller and smaller, till from frag-
ments of rock they become bowl
ders, then pebbles, and finally sand.

sand continue tn he rolled alOncr the
bottom of the channel, while the argyll
laceous particles and salts become
mingled with the water, and flow on

pYEING The BURGLARS.
Queer Punishment Inflicted on Couple of
Midnight Marauders.

Midnight Marauders.
A good story is told by German pa
per of the way in which dyer treated
two burglars whom he caught in his es-
tablishment, as they were in the act of
making off with some valuable dyes.
Mr.. S., the owner of the color works,
is often engaged in experiments late
into the evening, and occasionally
spends the night in the chemical labora-
tory, which opens into the room where
the great dye watts are.
The thieves made their visit, as it
chanced, on one of the nights when Mr..
s. was sleeping at the laboratory.
He is naturally light sleeper, and
little past midnight he was aroused by
the sound of voices in the vat-room.

took his revolver, and, concealed in the
darkness, watched the movements of
the two men. He saw that each bore
package of new and valuable dyes.
Thinking that matters hadprogressed
far enough, he stepped forward, cooked
his revolver, and sand, quietly: II have
use for those dyes. You'd better
leave them alone"
The thieves, taken completely by sur

to run, leaping from the side of one vat
to the next. In the darkness one of

''That's all right" said Mr.. S.,
alf-jocosely, as he stepped to the edge
of the vat and covered the thieves with

enough of that indigo to dye your
clothes and your skin. You needn't
hurry about getting out. We must give
the dye chance to take effect"
For Is minutes or more he kept the
two men in the vat, where they several
times plunged beneath the surface of
the liquid, and came up spluttering and
choking, and finally begged for mercy.
"Well," remarked Mr.. s., good
naturedly, Il think you probably are as
blue outside as you feel inside, so
won't detain you longer. And now,"
changing his tone to one of stern com-
mand, 'if you don't want the police on

Without word the two men climbed

Evidently Cats Cannot Count.

A friend has several cats which have
been taught to make their homes in a
barn. One of the workmen in the es-
tablishmcnt had been for number
of years in the habit of bringing food
from his house, after every dinner time.
for these cats. A remarkable fact is
that they go from the barn to the en-
trance of the gate property always about
fifteen or twenty minutes before the
workman makes his appearance. just
how they come to learn this exact time
of day is not clear, although it goes to
show that these animals have reason
and judgment to some extent. Strange
to say, although this has been go
ing on for several years, the cats do
not seem to know that every seventh
day is Sunday, and that the workman
does not make his appearance at the
grounds on that day, yet regularly
every Sunday, for all these many years,
they come to meet him, only to be
doomed to disappointment. 1t would
seem from this that cats have not the
power to count, or they surely would
be able to know by this time that there
is seventh day when they would be
doomed to disappointment in their
daily meal.-Meehan's Monthly.

INSECTS AND coNTAGloN.
The Damage That Can Be Done Even by
Gnat's Sting.

The Damage That Can Be Done Even by
Gnat's Sting.
1t is generally understood that the
stings of some insects are essentially
poisonous in greater or less degree
and must therefore be early and care
fully treated, says the Lancet.
Pain alone in such cases will suffice
for danger signal, and few when thus
warned would care to neglect the pune
ture made by hornet, IA wasp, or even
bee. The fact that other insects, like
some species of fly, are capable of equal
or even greater mischief is not so COM
monty known as it ought to be. The
recent death of a woman at Kingston
from septic erysipelas thus caused
may be quoted in illustration. In ac-
counting for such occurrences two
points are specially noteworthy
namely, the condition of health of the
person attacked and the previous
habitat of the assailant.
In no case probably is it possible to
define exactly the influence exercised
by each of these contributing factors.
This much we know, however, that no
matter how trivial or how great the
effect of the conveyed poison it is much
enhanced by all conditions of weakness
or blood impurity existing in the suf-

brand. The habits of insects afford n
clew to the seeming vagary of their oc-
casional and accidental virulence.
The sting of the mandibles, which
perhaps are buried an hour previously
in some putrid sore, eXcreta or offal,
cannot penetrate II living tissue with
out leaving in it something of the same
putrid character. 1t is safer, therefore,
for the medical practitioner to regard
each and every injury of this kind,
however slight, as a possible source
of illness and at once to contrive its
relief by poulticing anti-septic com-
presses or like meana.

ABOUT PARIS GREEN.
Tho Most Rapid and Effective of Arsenio-
nj Insecticides.

nj Insecticides.
1t is estimated that more than two
thousand tons of Paris green are an
nually used as an insecticide in the
United States, since il is the most rapid
and effective of the arsenical prepara-
tions used for this purpose. The chief
difficulty in using it is the readiness
with which il settles to the bottom of
the tank of spraying apparatus. This
is because it is less finely divided than
London purple-a point in which the
latter compound has certain advan-
tage. In Insect Life DIR. c. l.. Marlatt
explains that there is no reason for this
coarseness of grain in Paris green, eX-
cept that the market has demanded
dark colored article, and the darker
color is due to the larger size of the
crystal. Paris green would be much
more satisfactory as an insecticide if it
were reduced to fine powder, but it
would then lose it's intensity of color
and become whitish, which, in popular
estimation, would indicate adultera-
ton. The fact is that the manufac-
turer who for years controlled the
market did so because he had discov-
cred method of crystallizing the prod
uct in unusually large particles, which
were, therefore, very deeply colored.
OF course, it was less valuable in this
form, and yet the dark green large
sized crystals were more difficult to
manufacture and more expensive, and
the country went on using this for
years, although more effective poison
could have been made for less money.
In testing Paris green when reduced TO
fine powder, DR.. Marlatt found that it
remained in suspension three times as
long as the ordinary product did, while,
undoubtedly, the tineness in division
made it more effective against insects.
The last step in the process of manu-
featuring Paris green is the combina-
tion with acetic acid. When, however,
this acid is omitted, an impalpable
powder, instead of crystalline prod
uct, is secured, and this will remain in
suspension almost perfectly for many
hours. Experiments are now in
progress to ascertain whether this can
be used as substitute for Paris green,
TO which it is so superior in tineness,
while it costs only half as much.
