One of the latest fads with smart
young women is that of carrying a
peba The peba is a small animal,
Iabout the size of a rat, and is said to
be closely related to the armadillo. He
is gentle, loving little fellow, who
likes to be caressed and will never at
tempt to escape. The advanced" girl
has adopted him as her own and takes
him with her wherever she goes, to
the utter exclusion of the beetles,
chameleons and other reptiles she was
wont to affect last year.
The fad is rendered all the more de-
lightful, don't you know, because only
wealthy women can indulge in it. The

Last week offered two extremes in the
history of murder trials in this country.
Durrant, whose case has run the whole
gamut of courts from the police Justice
to the supreme court of the United
States, each of which has confirmed his
guilt, once more succeeded in lodging
the gallows at the last moment, when,
on the evening previous to the day set
for his execution, his lawyers secured
another stay for him, which may give
him third years lease of life. The
other case is that of Joseph Kelley at
Dover, N. H., who was charged with the
murder of Joseph A. Stickney, the aged
cashier of the Great Falls National bank
of Somersworth. After the jury had
been empanheled and the trial had pro-
sgressed three days, the defendant offered
to plead guilty and accept the sentence
of death.

INSANITY IN ANIMALS.

Insanity in the human subject is
supposed by some to have no anale-
que in the lower animals, says popu-
lar Science News. Yet many causes,
according to DIR. Snelison will lead
to the permanent loss of self-control.
Cattle driven from the country
through crowded town will often
work themselves into a frenzy Horses
have gone mad on the battle field.
At Balaklava an Arabian horse turn
ed on it's attendant as he was draw
ing water, seized him IN his mouth,
threw him down, and, kneeling on him
attacked him like an Infatuated dog.
He bit off another soldiers finger.
An instance is related of docile horse
suddenly going mad on hot day.
Everything that came in its way it
seized in it's teeth and shook as a ter
rier does a rat. 1t raided the pigsties
and threw the inmates one after
another in the air, tramplnig on the
bodies as they fell. Afterwards it
nearly killed its own master, after
manning for life the farrier who was
called in. This must have been a
case of insanity, the cause of which
is often to be found in congenial mall
formations of the bones of the head.
A scientiest of authority even goes so
far as to prove by what appears to be
incontestable evidence that cats. dogs,
and monkeys have beene observed to
have decisions very similar to those of
insane people

Justice Brewer that large Drained
man who sits on the Supreme bench
Of the United States, is in Leavenworth

interviewed, and as David is one of
those Americans who always helps out
a reporter in a pinch he suffered the
infliction that is usual. He is of the
opinion that there is no danger of any
war with either Japan or Spain, for
these reasons. Japan could not main
tain a war for Hawaii under any cir
cumstances and would only be the los
er, while Spain does not want war,
having on her hands at present all that
she can possibly attend to in that line.

No one can read the debates in eth

the protection sentiment so pronounced

idly in the British empire. What is

and in a measure of France likewise.
The truth is that the free trade BUSH

When Congress meets in the fall it
will be well for it to open its ear to
the voice, growing distinct and in
creasingly loud all over the country,
for improved commercial relations
with Mexico. There is every reason
why we should cultivate the most in
innate trade relations with the sister
republic. Not one why she should be
neglected. There is a unity of polite
al feeling, a nearness OF location, a
difference in production. What more
than these is needed, other than the
demonstration that such increased
trade would be mutually profitable to
induce a trade treaty to that end.
There is great trade there awaiting
our movement. There are great adj
vantages to both, without any real
