ERRORS IN INSTINCT.

The opinion Is still generally enter
tained that with animals, especially
those OF the lower order, instinct Is tho
determining guide that incites 10 the
proper performance of action or function.
and that ss such IL Is far less liable TO err
than the reasoning of intelligence. Few
scientific prejudices have been more diff
cult TO overcome than that which Ie-
moves from animals the reasoning fac
ulty, and probably many years will yet
elapse before IL Will be recognized that
all animals which come under ordinary
observation are endowed with the same
kind Of faculty, although developed In
various degrees OF descending scale
which distinguishes man ana the so-called
higher organisms. The bee and tine ant
have been frequently held up as the best
exponents of the instinct class, and more
recently of the exceptional" animals
which developed reasoning powers, and
it was n rude shock, not only to the lay
man, but as we'll to the scientist when
Sir John Lubbock, as the result OF an
endless series Of experiments announced
few years ago that these animals were
sadly wanting" both in their instinc-
tive and intellectual traits. In other
words. there were many times when both
instinct and intelligence erred for them.
Some remarkable instances Of the err
ing OF instinct among insects have re.
Gently been noted by naturalists, and
they add an interesting chapter 10 the
physiology Of sense. One of these was the

PROTECTION FOR THE COTTON IN
DUSTRY.

The current issue of Gunter's Magazine
discussing the crisis In the New England
cotton industry suggests that there is no
reason why the principle Of protection to
American industry should not be applied.
1t is pointed out that the economic justi-
fcation for protection Is to preyent
domestic industries from being put at a
disadvantage 5y virtue OF advanced social
conditions and the consequent higher
wages. New England, OF which Massa
chusetrs has been the leader, has made
rapid progress In factory legislation so
necessary to the social opportunities and
welfare of the operatives. For nearly n
quarter of century the ten hour system
has been established by law in Massachu-
setts, and has been gradually extended to
Every economic and political reason for
protection In any form justiiies and de-
mands that the tcn-hour factory system
be extended TO the Southern States
II is important for the welfare of the
whole nation that manufacturing indus
tries he developed in the Southern states
because 1t is only through the diversified
tion OF industry that the social condition
of tile laboring class in tho South can
be lifted to any approximate equality
with that 10 other parts of the country.
But 1t Is equally important alike to the
operatives North and South that this de-
velopment take place under modern con-
ditions. Neither the South nor any
other part of this country should be per-
mitted 10 develop factory methods under
the twelye-hour system. That would
mean that they repeat the revolving ex-
perience of English factory life In the
first quarter OF the century. II manufac-
turers and operatives would unite in ex-
ercising their social and political in
fluence to accomplish this object, and at
the same time recognize the inevitable
tendency Of the cotton industry toward
the South, and capital gradually trans
fer itself to new forms of industry in New
England, the transition OF the industry
might be made gradual and of much
greater benefit to tho South with less In
jury TO New England. If, on the other
hand, manufacturers and operatives both
insist upon Ignoring these broader con.
siderations and detoi mine to fight, one
trying to enforce and the other to resist a
reduction Of wages, then the industry will

1T MADE HIM WEEP.

Delaney Wellington hestated with
his hand upon the knob OF the door TO
the private Office. he WAS about TO ask
Henry Faversham for the hand OF his
beautiful daughter. For moment the
young man was about to procrastinats,
but he drew himself together at last and
walked In.
The rich man rece ived him kindly, anc
asked him TO sit down. Before Wellington
had begun upon the subject that was
nearest his heart, however. the voice OF
Mrs. Faversham was heard in the outer
room and her husband requested his
visitor to step into an adjoining room
until the lady had got through with
him.
"Look here - said the mother of the only
Rirl that Delaney Waliingford had ever
loved, as she rushed into her husband =
presence, II want you to give an ae-
count of yourself. You didn't get home
until long after the hour l set for you
last night and you have a guilty look.

what it is. Discharge that girl out there
today and get homely one! III be

you have obeyed my orders or not. When
you get home tonight-and see that

say Go you. Remember, expect you to

Give me those letters you have I'm your
pocket !"
One OF her lady friends was waiting
for her outside, in the carriage, so she
had to leave him long before she had
finished her remarks.
When Mr.. Faysrsham was alone again
Delaney wallnRford returned and sat
down in front Of the benevolent looking
old gentleman. who asked MIN to pro-
ceed with the business in hand.
"Your daughter Gladys" the young
man said--''we love each other. have
come to ask you for her. -
There was deep pity In the look that
Henry Faversham bestowed upon his
visitor ana after a long silence said
"I've always had sort OF liking Ifor
you. I've thought you were pretty sen-
sible sort of chap. You heard what was
said In here u few moments ago, didn't

Delaney confessed that he had heard il
all.
"Well. all right then. My conscience
Is clear. Take her, and may the Lord
