Can Plants Soc?

The mysteries of vegetable life are
not all yet explored. An Indian
botanist has made experiments which
induce him to say that some plants
can SEQ. Whether the inference can
be accepted or not, these experiments
go to show that the plants made an
effort to reach supports placed at .
little distance and grew toward the
supports wherever placed. The plant
was convolvulus, and when a pole
was placed near 1t and in such way
that the tendrils would have to turn
away from the light to reach it,
they invariably did so and within q
few hours twined about 1t. That
certain plants have the sense Of
touch is we'll known. - Medical Times.

ONLY FOUR lMMORTACS.

DANES Russell Lowell Cr=Sns Homer.
Dante, CsrvaRtes and Goethe.
! There are certain books which it Is
necessary to read, but they are very
few. Looking at the matter from an
aesthetic point Of view merely, I
should say that thus far only one
man had been able to use types 80
universal and to draw figures so cos
mopolitan that they are equally true
in all languages and equally accept
able to the whole Indo- European
branch, at least, of the human fami-
Nv. That man is Homer, and there
needs, it seems to me, no further
proof Of his individual existence than
this very fact of the solitary unap
proachableness of the "liad" and the
Odyssey" The more wonderful
they are, the more likely to be the
work of one person. Nowhere is the
purely natural man presented to US
so nobly and sincerely as in these
poems.
Not far below these I should place
the "Divina Commedia" Of Dante, in
which the history of the spiritual
man is sketched with equal com.
mand of material and grandeur OF
outline. Don Quixote" stands upon
the same level and receives the same
universal appreciation. Here we
have the spiritual and the natural
man set before us in humorous con-
trast In the knight and his squire
Cervantes has typiGed the two OPP
posing poles Of our dual nature--the
Imagination and the understanding
as they appear in contradiction.
This is the only comprehensive satire
ever written, for it is utterly indie
pendent Of time, place and manners.
Faust" gives us the natural his
tory of the human intellect, Mephis.
topheles being merely the projected
impersonation Of that skepticism
which lie the invariable result Of q
purely intellectual culture. These
four books ore the only ones In
which universal facts Of human ma
ture and experience are ideally rep.
resented. They can therefore never
be displaced.
1have not mentioned Shakespeare,
because his works come under din.
ferent category. Though they mark
the very highest level Of human gen.
ius, they yet represent no special
epoch In the history Of the individual
mind. The man of Shakespeare Is
always the man of actual life, as he
is acted upon by the worlds of sense
and of spirit under certain definite
conditions. We all Of us may be in
the position Of Macbeth or Othello
or Hamlet, and we appreciate their
sayings and deeds potentially, so to
speak, rather than actually, through
the sympathy of our common nature
and not of our experience. james

 fore an Attack.

Walker, Minn., Oct it.-Fhe situa' tion is n66re ominous than ever. At the agency Sunday 0 council was held be. tween the Indians, General Bacon, Col Herbaoh. Indian Agent Sutherland and Marshal O'Connor. The resulb of Che conference was not in any way unlike that of those previously held, except in the fact that not one Of the lending men of the different bands were present..
 There were, however, representatives present frop Bear island, Otter Tail Point, Qass fake and Pine Point, but Rone of these have any influence with the tribeamen. The only conclusion to be drawn is that the leaders of the diff eerent bands sent men there merely as ''stool pigeons" and that others of their number are preparing for the warpath.
 4 most significant fact is that on Sat. urday 30 canoe loads of Bear island h. dians and their families, protesting to be peaceful, arrived at the agency. Sum day every one of tho bucks in the party left, but where they have gone Is only to be surmised. There is little doubt however, that they have left for Bear island to join those who are already pfes pared to fight There must be several hundred armed men on tho island Qnd from what can be learned many more are on the road.
 Two or three of the Bear island men who are still at the agency, have been questioned ID regard to last Wednes- days battle. But they positively stated that t6ey knew nothing whatever ip re- gard to to the dead and wounded among the Indians and had seen none or those who were iu the fight.
 General Bacon announces that the last council will be held today and the Tndiana will be dispersed.
 Flat Mouth and his band of 4oChip- pewa Indians may Do on the warpath before another day. At the council he delivered Q message asking that the troops be taken away from the agency, aud informing the authorities that in the eysnt of 6 refusal to do so he will ioin the hostile PiIlager Indians.
