'sBIRDSo AND BEASTS.

The Phoenix correspondent of the Williams Ne,vs has taken up the study of natural history Follow ing are two of his descriptions of rare animals, recently discovered:
 No. I-THE FRANKLoNIAE INCUBUS.
 This is a large animal, laterally considered You will notice that it has been preserved i'll alcohol for better keeping. Under microscopical examination you See that it scowls iiercely, yet so far as can be ascer- tainei it never frightened anybody Its more prominent characteristics are: 1-Butl neck. 2-Almost total lack of intellect. 3--Total absence of good breeding. 4-Mulish stubborn ness. 5-Seli-conceit. 6-W1nkles 7--Scowls.
 This is the only specimen of it's breed extant and was discovered a couple of years ago by MT. Cleye- land, who then resided in Washing ton but has since moved to New Jer- sey. When in alcohol, as at present, the Franklopian Incubus lies dormant for many months. At certain seasons however 1t has spasmS, and during these intervals it storms and prances around and makes noise. It mani fests at all times great fear of being disturbed in the possession of the particular .tr0ngh in which if now feeds.
 2.-THE WILsoNIAN GIGANTICUs.
 Very closely allied to the previous specimen, only more active in it's movements and with mere breadth to the feet. At present this specimen is on exhibition before a classification committee of the United States Sen- ate. If these learned gentlemen suc- ceed in properly ticketing the exhibit the science of natural history will have been materially aided.
 The Wilsonian Giganticus is of no madic disposition and often wanders lar from its feeding place. It mani fests certain feline qualities, however, by always coming back, and its pres ent great fear is that some of the managers of the museum may succeed in cutting off it's supply of public provendcr. According to the tele- graphic dispatches from the national capital this specimen is in a very bad humor, and nurses the hallucination that certain of the animals in the Salt River menagerie have not sufficiently endorsed his efforts to keep both feet in the home trough.
 Large, horny, fierce bristlts on up per lip; heavy tread; answers to the name of General" If this specimen should get lost or broken in transit it never would be missed.

COMING ON THE KEEN JUMP.
Prosperity on the Rampage on the
 Kansas Prairie.

! EhNSAS Ed@EIGs
 1 The fellows here who never get 1 into a vanished buggy and vlew the landscape OCT have an idea that the wave of prosperity prom ised last fall is rot here. The town isn't doing much, it's true. But out in the country the wave has come It caresses the tawny coat of the wheat. Wheat is fairly jumping up in the market and in the Kansas fields. The wave is laying the laughing tresses of the alfalfa that lies thick in the up- lands. The first crop is in the stack. The second cutting is al- most ready. The price is good and stiff, and the little pigs in the COW lot will soon be turned on the field and begin to fill out for the fall market. The wave of prosperity is on the pigs. They are sousing in 1t, wallowing in It, and making their owners more money today than they have made since Harri- son left the White House.
 The old hen is scratching in pros- perity, and the young fries are run ming about with the wave hitting them so hard that their tail feathers get pushed in faster than they can grow out. The chicken market was never better.
 The cow and the bull and the old red steer are knee deep in pros perity. The wave has struck them and they are tromping around and sloshing the still waters of content ment all over the old man and the boys whenever they go in the lower pastures. And when the missus and the kids go into the COW lot with the three-legged stool and the tin bucket, and the two quart cup for the "strippings," that wave of prosperity just naturally cools the woman's temples and washes the kinks of woe out of their minds, and the b TIT of the milk On the bottom of the bucket becomes the sound of trowel and hammer upon air castles over the hills and far away. You are just mighty rlghta -the wave has come to the COW lot.
 And 1t has struck the cornfield, and the oats patch. It is surging all over the farm. Down in the orchard, where the cutworms hay n't damned things up-the wave is Tapping upon the trunks of the trees, and the raspberries and the strawberries and black berries and gooseberries have to be skinned off the crest of the wave every morning with a road scraper. Soon the peaches and the cherries will be on the wave, and then it will take tin roof to gather them.
 When this wave gets done slosh- ing around the farm, it will flow into the town. It will ooze. little by little, into the bank accounts, into the bad bills, into the sugar barrels, into the four bins, into the oil cans that grease the lawn mow- CTS. Then it will fill the paint 1 buckets and linn Der up the brushes and we'll all paint up and look | pretty.
 The wave has struck the country; i 1t has inundated the farms; just | hold your horses and 1t will get to town. For the wave has come.- EnepOria Ga<ette.

The arrival Of the last "Aus-

of relief from the whole COM
munity. The unusually long in
terval between mails had made
people quite anxious, and ru-
mors of war and other political
disturbances were flying as thick
as leaves in Vallambrosa. The
encouraging news of the probable
passage of the Dingley bill, i'm

Sugars while preserving for Ha-
waii nei the advantages of the
Reciprocity Treaty, gladdened
the hearts of all, planters as well
as merchants, who predict new
era of prosperity and progress
for these beautiful Isles Of the
Pacific. News was also brought
of the knocking out of Champion
jim Corbett by his sturdy oppon-
ent Fitzsimmons.
The TRIBUNE BICYCLE
knocks them all out. Like the
Roman tribunes Of old, it stands
on a pinnacle of fame, elevated
above all others, and like Fitzsim-
mons it beats all the other
Champions.

position, the golden opportunity for
which passed by when the Govern
ment failed to call for a plebescite
in the days OF 1893 and 1894 when
they forced themselves iuto Office,
fondly believing that in twelve
months or two years at the most
they would have consummated their
plans. They never bargained for
four years tension in the Government
role and now they must patiently
abide where they are. They cannot
resign in the face OF the enemy.

Are savages JnsaneP

DIR. Daniel g. Brinton OF the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania has advanc-
ed the idea that all savages are in
sane. The letter in Wednesdays
Bulletin in support OF that theory is
interesting rather as an ingenious
bit OF reasoning than as review OF
savage characteristics which justify
the conclusion. The savage, DIR.
Brinton asserts, has no real notion
of what we mean by morality. 1t
does not follow, however, that the
savage is less true to his conception
OF morality than white men are to
their conception. The savage would
kill himself before he would commit
acts that hardly expose man to
censure in civilizs d society, while he
would commit acts under slight
provocation that in civilized society
would be punishable with death.
This does not prove insanity. 1t
meaGs differently instructed con-
science. A race that is true to its
convictions can hardly be called in.
sane, though the conviction may be
founded on the grossest error The
savage believes in following one
whom he thinks has wronged him to
the eud of the word to obtain
revenge. This is part Of his creed
II he were insane he would not be
true to it. There is an element of
insanity in such creed, but more
distinct element of foolishness.
Leaving the savage out OF con-
sideratiop, how many civilized doct-
rines, habits and customs would be
considered evidence of insanity to
people educated in the sim pie,
austere school OF nature7 What
stronger evidence OF insanity can be
found in any savage than the doct-
rine good many OF our ablest men
display in the pursuit of wealth 7
Why pile up million upon million in
full possession OF the knowledge
that in a few years millions and
their owner must part
DIR. Brinton offers as evidence of
insanity the belief Of the Indian that
the sun makes three stops each day,
and smokes pipe while it rests.
This might be considered conclusive
il we could not offer as an Offset the
man of millions who denies himself
what other consider the pleasures
Of life in the frantic pursuit of more
millions. The education of savages
has shown that while their preju-
dices are deeply rooted, they yield
to treatment. This cannot be said
OF the civilized races. Convince a saw
age that he is wrong and he will try
to overcome his natural inclination
convince the average white man that
he is wrong and he only conceals his
offense.
