so.ceptlon Among Animals.

The cuckoo, as is well known. lays
its egg in another birds nest, and
to make the deception surer, it takes
away one of the other birds eggs.
Animals are conscious of their de-
ceit, as is shown by the fact that
they try to act secretly and noise
iessly; they show sense OF guilt Il
detected; they take precautions In
advance to avoid discovery; in some
cases they manifest regret al d re-
pentance. Thus bees which steal
hesitate often before and after their
exploits, as if they feared punish

OLD CURIOSITY SHOP


'"tt'NN" ~ EI""''"
About 10 years ago crowds Of
people locked TO tho narrow and
crooked little street, known IS
Portsmouth street, leading from
Portugal street to Libcoln's Inn
Fields, for rumor was spread
abroad that the house reputed TO be
the home Of little Nell was about to
be demolished by order Of the board
Of works. This. however. was a
false alarm. The board had only
ordered it to be shored up, as the
adjoining house was In danger Of
collapse. The question Of its re-
moval was, however, only matter
OF time. and now the time has ar
rived. Its demolition will very
shortly be effected, as part Of
the wholesale improvements going
forward in this neighborhood. and
which have already claimed two his
toric taverns. the George the
Fourth and the Black Jack, and the
last Of the old bulk shops. Though
the loss Of all these associations is q
matter for much regret, it cannot
be doubted that the clearing Of this
squalid and congested congeries OF
byways will be very real improve
ment.
There is the usual difference Of
opinion as to the building which
Dickens had in his minds eye when
be wrote 1.-THE Old Curiosity Shop.
The novel itself does not give any
trustworthy clew, and the distinc-
ton has been claimed for No. "a
Fetter Lane, which was pulled down
early in 1891. The balance OF opin-
ion inclines to Portsmouth street,
which is in neighborhood repiete
with associations of Dickens.
The street, which originally bore
the queer name of touches build
ings, takes its present name from
Portsmouth house, built by lingo
Jones for the earl of Portsmouth,
the front OF which is standing, but
the interior has been entirely trans
formed to meet the requirements Of
modern days. - Westminster Ca

Fish Are Pleased When You Scratch
Their Bscks.
At one of the retaining ponds in
Canada, where salmon are confined
and held until their eggs are ripe to
be Matched artifcially, Mr.. Rogers
one day put his hand and arm down
between the grating into the water
to see what the salmon would do.
At first they swan as far away from
his hand as the limits of the pen
would permit, and then curiosity
seemed to be aroused, and one big
salmon swan up to his hand and
touched it with his side. At the
least motion of the hand or fingers
the fish would dart away, only to re-
turn. Little by little the fish gained
courage and permitted the hand to
rub his sides and back, and finally
Mr. Rogers scratched his back as he
would scratch the back of pet dog,
and the salmon seemed to like it, for
it did not move away unless some
unusual motion was made by another
part of the mans body, and if the
fish did move away it returned very
quickly to have its back scratched
again. Cincinnati! Enquirer.

TWO IMPORTANT MEASURES
ARE PISSED BY THE HOUSE OF
 TIYES.

One Prohibits Pelaeio Sealing and the
 Relief of Sufferers in Yukon River COun-
 try-stubborn Opposition to the Former.
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 16.-In the house to-day MT. Hit Republican, 1ll.O chairman of the committee on for eign affairs, secured unanimous con- cent for the consideration of the bill passed by the senate yesterday to pro- hibit pelagic sealing by citizens of the United States. He said the govern ment did not admit that pelagic seal ing was a right; it was a barbarity. We were pressing upon Great Britain negotiation for the protection of the seals that three governments had all ready agreed to. If we were sincere, we should pass this measure.
 MT. Johnson Qep. N, D. made a viz orous speech of an hour In opposition to the bill. He argued that the effects of this bill and the negotiations now being conducted would be the bolster ing up of two great British industries, one in Bering sea and the other in London. The present herd was not worth protecting. He declared that Canada would only be willing to join with us in prohibiting pelagic sealing on condition that we should allow her to write our tariff laws.
 MT. Hepburn expressed the opinion that we had the power at any time to compel Canada to adjust this whole question as to the seals. Pelagic seal ing was not worth more than $250 000 per annum. The bonding privilege granted to Canadian roads, over which We had absolute control, was worth twenty times as much to Canada as the right of pelagic sealing. He advo- cated retaliation as the weapon to be used to bring Canada to terms.
 MT. Hit answered some of the criticisms which had been advanced. The admitted evil of the present sys- tenn, he said, was pelagic sealing, which resulted in the killing of 300O0 seals annually. And yet the gentleman from North Dakota (Johnson) proposed to meet this evil of a partial slaughter by an absolute slaughter of the entire herd. Was this humane proposition from a government which was urging humanity on other nations? MT. Hit referred to the barbarity of the prac- tfce of killing the defenceless seal pups.
 MT. Livingstone (dem., Ga.,) said: "As chairman of the foreign affairs committee you have in your possession a resolution respecting the poor and defenceless people of Cuba. What do you intend doing about that? Are not the Cubans as much entitled to your care as the seal pups?" MT. Hit re- piled that the question was not asked with Q view to getting serious an swer. After further debate the bill was passed-yeas, 14S; nays, 7S. An hour was spent on legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill without ac- complishing anything. The bankruptcy bill was reported and an extension of time granted in which the minority may file it's report. At five o'clock the house adjourned.
 The house also passed a bill appro- priating $175,000 for the relief of the people who are in the Yukon river country. AS passed, the sum carried by it is to be expended under the di- rection of the secretary of war for the purchase, transportation and distribu- tiOn Of subsistence Stores
