Why Some Animals Lap.


The reason that certain animals lap
instead of drink seems to be an arrange
ment Of nature to prevent carnivorous
animals, whose stomachs are compar-
ative]y small, from notwithstanding
themselves with water. Most of the
animals that suck when drinking are
and have large stomachs,
or more than one, with q paunch or re-
ceptacle for unchewed food, and with
them digestion is 9 slow process and
there is little, If any, danger of over
distension, although such thing is not
unknown with, some: domestic, herbivor-
GUS animals. Digestion is q much more
rapid process with the carnivora, and it
is important that it should not be de-
layed by the ingestion of large quanti-
ties of cold water. BY tapping the
mouth and throat are thoroughly moist
ened, while the water is supplied to the
stomach in small quantities, properly
warmed and mixed with saliva. Itmay
be fairly assumed that the carnivora are
of more recent creation, for the herbi-
vorous animals are their food, and that
therefore tapping may be considered a
more highly developed way of drinking:
than sucking.-Detroit Free Press.

A New African Map.

There must be new map Of Africa, and
several Of the European powers are anxious
to show how it should be done. England
has made several attempts to change the
lines, and Germany is not averse to doing
something Of the same sort, while France
would feel very mnch insulted were she left
out Of it. However, as long as Minnesota
and tho Northwest remain as attractive as
they are people don't care much what hap

DIR. WILL1Axs.-Dear Str:-My wife has
been a sufferer from rheumatism for more
than, three years, suffering at times with
terrible pains in her limbs, and other times
with severe ''crick'' in her back which
causes great agony. She spent much fol
physicians and medicine, but secured only
temporary relief; finally she concluded to
try Pink Pills. She has taken eight boxes
and can say from the first one she has i'm
proved until now she is almost entirely free
from pain, and has grown much stronger
and feels confident that, by the blessing of
God, they will effect a permanent cure. We
take great pleasure in recommending them
to our friends.

ct Pleasant View seven days, hewasquite
on friendly nay, intimate - terms
with his hostess and her daughter.
Every morning when he met the latter
at the breakfast table (seizing an OPP
portunity, of course, when Mrs. Field.
ing was not presently he had asked:
'sWell?" and Ethel had shaken her
head very determinedly, aud made the
most of the exceedingly dimpled chin,
which only represented one-third Of
Mr.. Waterburys. During the wholt,
of that week Dick had never once been
out. The kitchen commented severely
on this point. It savored more Of the,
~man in possession" than anything,
else he had done.
"He's been sent, and he's got to STOP -
was the cooks verdict. "And mistress
is making the best of q bad job by treat
ing him as IL gentleman guest. I've Ill

left her comic able of, and I cart I'm

suppose it's mine or something.
Thank goodness! I've got all my little
savings wrapped up in stocking and
locked in my box!"
Seven days had gone - the seventh
night had come, and still Ethel re-
manned obdurate. But she paid, her
mother noticed, considerable attention
to her toilet. and wore her prettiest
dresses.

Dick Waterbury had been with the
Fieldings week, and still showed no
signs Of departing from his resolution.
He had soon made himself at home;
he had broken the ice. over the dinner
table during the first night of his stay.
Mr.. Fielding AID Hsr daughter had
opened the ball by treating him with
rigid politehess; but Dick had pre-
tended not to notice their manner, and
ratified on 80 gayly that he effectually
dispersed the cold barrier which the
ladies had attempted to place between
themselves and their self-invited guest.
After dinner he RECALLED them with
comic songs, anecdotes and news of the
day which had failed to penetrate to the
Businesses of Market Norbury. So very
agreeable did he make himself. indeed,
that by bedtime he had quite won Mrs.
Fielding over to his side. Ethel kept
very close to her mother all the even
ing, he noticed, and would neither play
nor sing, although she could do both
very nicely. On the following day his
clothes arrived. and on the third day
letter, addressed to him in bold mas
culine hand. He appeared to peruse
this letter with much interest, and the
one he wrote in reply he delivered to
the housemaid with special instruc-
tions that It was to be posted before
six p. M. at which hour the Market
No-bury mail cart was dispatched. The
housemaid told the cook that, for a
man in possession, the new conner wrote
D very elegant hand. This letter, too.

THE NEWLY RICH.

somo Of tho Demonstrations Of Suddenly
Acquired Wealth.
The sudden elevation from poverty
to riches is generally accompanied by
| sometimes. startling and always anus
ling manifestations: Nine men out OF
ten, when they find the gaunt wolf OF
hunger and inconvenience forever bali
ished from their door first think OF the
style in which they should live in order
to conform to the munificence Of their
suddenly-acquired fortune, and they
invest forthwith in as costly house
md grounds as they can AFFORD. Some
take extreme delight in parading the
fruits Of their new wealth before those
of their neighbors whose opulence is OF
more mature age, and who have there
fore offered many a (fancied) snub.
A case in point IL that Of q lawyers
young assistant, living in q neighboring
state, who q short time ago was for
tunate enough to come into property Of
the value Of nearly a quarter OF mil
lion dollars, which enabled him to en-
bark on policy Of revenge which he
had long cherished in his mind, but
which he had not the slightest hope OF
ever being able to carry out. His en-
ployer, q man Of obscure origin and
most offensive manners, had been in the
habit of treating him with the utmost
disdain, and, not unnaturally, the clerk
thirsted for an opportunity OF paying
him back In his own coin.
The opportunity came with the ,ad-
ventof his great riches, and he tookthe
fullest advantage of every occasion to
excite the envy of his quondam en-
ployer and to belittle him in the eyes
Of his friends. He made a practice OF
driving in state past the lawyers Office
two or, three times a day, his turnout
in the morning being smart and dash
ing tandem, and in the afternoon an
elegant carriage and pair. If the at
torney attended the theater or any pub
lie meeting his once-despised clerk was
there occupying q better position than
himself.
Happening to hear of debt of $4,000
or s., 900 owing by the latter, he bought
1t at premium. sued for and recovered
It, and administered the coup de grace
to his enemy BY making him bank

One Of the most comforting things y
fisherman or hunter can carry with him
is G cup to drink from. Some men get
along with their hands, or by leaning
over stream or spring and drinking
direct from the water, but there is no
comfort, and there is a possibility Of
lizards in this. One likes to stand
erect and drink comfortably when Oh
