Reason In the Lower Animals.

We have fox terrier whose happi- ness was complete until Dodgerfield came. She is very affectionate, conse- quently very jealous. If looks and growls would kill, Dodgerfield would die many times day. Both dogs eat from the same plate, but not at the same time One day last week we fed Dodgerfieid first The fox terrier was very hungry and begged hard for first dinner. Dodger seemed to eat more slowly than usual. and Nettie watched dolefully.
 Finally hunger got the better of her honesty, and she parked sharply three short barks. Dodger left his plate and sprang to the window, looking excitedly up and down the road. Nettie looked neither to the right nor the left, but made straight for the plate of food us soon as Dodgers back was turned If this was not an exhibition of reason and human intelligence, then mankind in general possesses large degree of ami nal inssis.vss.

mrs. Avery Ia Not Wealthy.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, while at tending the recent executive meeting of the Woman's National Council in Bos- ton, was described by some of the papers Rs woman worth $3, 500, 000 A few years ago Mrs Avery had abundant means and gave literally to the suffrage cause. A few years hence she is likely to have abundant means again and will then no doubt contribute with her usual generosity. But we have the best au- thority for saying that, through certain business complications, Mrs. Avery is at present the reverse of rich. The news paper report about her millions, by which many women would have been fiattered, has been cause of sorrow to her, as it has brought her many appli- cations to which she is quito unable to respond.

Women and Parliament. {.

There seems to be still chance fos those few members of our sex who ooves tho right to sit in parliament. It ap- pears that, in the views of some who are qualified to form an opinion on such matters, the supply of parliamentary candidates is deoreasing, and tho decline is likely to become still more serious as those who are eligible for such service come to realize more and moro the in- adequacy of the reward which tho life of an M. P. !" offers, as compared with the trouble and expense necessary to se- cure election, But if the supply of male candidates fail there will be noth- ing for it but to fall back upon the "emancipators of our sex, who may thus be provided with an opportunity of rushing in where tho male creature re- fuses any longer to tread --Lady's Pio- toriai.

Shocking Depravity on the Part of Birds
 Witnessed by Andrew Lang.
 A queer story is told by MT. Andrew Lang. The incident came under his own notice and occurred under the bridge over tho Lochy, below the Bon Nevis Long John distillery. From this talo it is obvious that animals arc only sober from lack of wit to obtain alcohol:
 "That establishment disgorges into a burn quantity of refuse, no doubt d. coholic. When we crossed the bridge in tho morning to fish. the ducks from tho farm opposite were behaving in drunk. en and disorderly manner-hying, beat ing the water, diving, spluttering and greedily devouring the stuff from the distillery. Their antics were funny, but vulgar. By 3 o'clock we found tho ducks sleeping off the effects of their debauch. We awakened them, and they all staggered eagerly to a bucket of wa ter, from which they quonched the tor ments of thirst. A small seq bird behay- ed in still moro doplorable way. He slowly drifted down tho Lochy from the fatal intoxicating burn, nor could peb- bles judiciously thrown at him induce him to take the wing. He tried to dive, making efforts comic and unsuccessful After drifting through tine bridge ro- gret to say that he returned to the burn and ''took cup of kindness yet, {" get ting all the more intoxicated and drift ing back in yet more deplorable condi- tion. What lesson, we said, is this to mankind. who, after all. need not speak of their boasted reasonablenessl The wild and tame things of stream and ocean are as unwise as we.

They will then be in shape to stand for their common rights at all times, and this will make the strongest combine of labor in the world, as the glass workers have now the strongest unions in the country. --C Cincinnati En, quirer.
