pfs1fks For Each Other.
The likes and dislikes Of animals are
unacoountable. Some horses take violent
prejudice against certain men, even
though they are treated kindly and though
the mans moral character Is fair. Be
tween the cat and dog there Is violent
antipathy, which. however, Is not infre-
quently displayed by mutual respect, and
even affection in exceptional cases. The
elephant hates dogs and rats Cows dislike
dogs, and - do sheep, and, what seems
stranger. are particularly partial 70 bears
On the other hand, horses loathe and de-
test camels and refuse TO be decently civil
TO them after long acquaintance. They
even hate the place where camels have
been, which seems 10 be carrying race pref
udice 10 an extreme.
Eyolutionists are accustomed to explain
these instructive feelings as suryiyals of
ancestral enmities dating from the days
when one race proved on the other. This
would account for the natural enmity of
COWS TO dogs, for when cows were wild
they were obliged TO defend their calves
from bands of predatory wild dogs But
why should the horse like dogsi II is but
the other day that the wild horses organ
lied 10 defend their colts from wolves on
our western prairies. What could the an
cestral horse have had against the ances
trail camel OF q million years ago? Above
all, why should the horse approve of the
bear! Ii must be that the horse has dor
mant sense Of beauty and of humor. The
ideal OF the horse is grace, combined with
strength. He disapproves from the bot
tom of his nature of the hopelessly vulgar,
awkward and unnsthetical camel The
bear, he sees at once, though clumsy, is
unpretentious, truthful and not devoid of
a sense of humor. The dog he recognizes
as good fellow, companionable and I'M
selfish. He therefore forgets his ancestral
predaceous habits. A strong bond between
the dog and the horse is that they are both
fond of sport, whereas a camel would not
go an inch TO see the best race that was
ever run.
The horse does seem little prejudiced
In tho case Of the camel, but IL Is a fine,
aristocratic, unreasonable prejudice he
has And we like him for himself and for
showing that the evolutionists cannot ex-
plain oil the sentiments Of refined and
highly organized animal. Man, of course,
they can account for in every particular.

FACING a HUNGRY LYNX.
A California Engineer Has an Exeitin
Encounter In . Mil.

Encounter In . Mil.
The engineer of -four mill Ct San
Quentin, Lower California, heard q low.
rasping pur while at work in bis engine
room ono day, and, upon looking toward
The door, saw an unusually large lynx
staring him in the face The beast was
gaunt with hunger, and its condition had
evidently made IL brave, for it appeared
fierce and in no hurry to turn back The
engineer would have turned back himself,
but the only means OF exit was occupied
by his visitor.
The engineer saw that no other wesDcn
than brick was at hand. Before he could
reach for the missile the lynx sprnng into
the room, uttering growl Before the
huge cat could make a spring that was in
tended the brick went whizzing through
the air and landed between It's eyes The
blow dazed IL, but notwithstanding this
the maddened brute sprang toward the
man In way that caused the latter to
Dunt over barrel Of water In his hustle TO
escape. Part Of the water fell over the
lynx, and this appeared 70 have more
depressing effect on the animal than the
brick had. II stopped moment In its
rush, and the engineer, still unable To get
out OF the door, took out his jackknifo
and stood ready 10 use IL.
IL was wise move on his part, for the
cat sprang at him and was about to use
its claws when the man stabbed IL in the
body. The blow was accurately placed,
fortunately, and the lynx fell without q
wbimpcr. The map stabbed the animal q
dozen times after that until he was sure
1t was dead
The lynx was a fine specimen, and had
1t not been reduced in strength by hunger
could easily have whipped a man armed
with anything less than gun.-San Fran

An Electric Railway.

It remains for the people of this city to say just HOW whether Pine Bluff shall have an electric street railway or not. Representatives of eastern capitalists are here to build an electric street car line and elee- tric light plant if the people of this city will contract for sufficient number of electric lights Cat re- duced prices) to justify the invest ment. Contracts are asked for no- longer period than one year. After that time, the new company will take it's chances. But the pro- moters of the enterprise cannot get the financial backing to build the new plant unless the people of Pine Bluff contract for at least 2,000 in- candescent lights and fifty arc lights for the period Of one year. Will the people do it? If they do we shall have an electric street railway and a competitive light plant in less than a year; # they don't, we won t. That's the case in a nutshell. If any one believes to the contrary, let that one read the interview with MT. Harrison, the promoter of the enterprise, in this issue.
 There is but one week more in which to act, and whatever is done must be done quickly.
 Shall we have the electric street car line? Answer the question for yourself, gentle reader.

The necessity for getting matters set- tied and a territorial government in running order in Alaska is immediate. There will be in the next few months 8 thousand matters requiring the full machinery of courts and fcrts alike to properly deal with them. There should be additional military posts established at onee and surveys made for feasible routes through the territory, besides the hurrying to their destination of the food supplies required. Phi1anthropio Amer jeans who have more money than they know what to do with-some of those, for instance, who spend $100, 900 on a fancy ball-should see to the establish ment in Alaska of schools, hospitals and churches without delay, even if to do so they must put off for few days the trip to the Mediterranean on their private yacht to escape the rough winds of March. The American people and their government must understand that in Alaska and its future we have what is gcir to be the biggest thing we have had to andle since the civil war.

A melancholy tale is told in Pough- keepsie. Two women tainted dead away in church and several others became so i'll they had to be carried out, while some more managed to escape with diff culty upon their own feet. The trouble was the foul air ill the church, which had not been ventilated since it was used last time. The unclean air in churches as well as in doctors offices is proyer- bial. How can people be expected to be drawn even by the gentle ministrations of the gospel to sit two hours in air as foul as that of tho black hole of Gall curta?

The editor of the Grand Rapids Press has put to actual test the question of how many of those who are sympathet- ically called the great army of the un- employed really desire work. He insert ed in his paper a notice to the effect that all the men in Grand Rapids who wanted work could getit by applying at his office. Eighty men answered the call and stood waiting at the office next morning. The editor slyly and instantly telephoned to the city marshal to send up carts and shovels When they ap. peared, the waiting men were told to go to work and earn $1.25 that day shovel ing snow off the streets. Of the so only 30 accepted the offer The rest vanished like satan in the Bible and were seen no more. This story shows the humbug inhering in about two thirds of the idlers who work the sentimental sympa- thy racket by claiming that they are starving because they cannot get any work to dc.

Fewer Narcotics and stimulants.

Fewer Narcotics and StimuIants.
 "These three-morphine, chlorals sco- caine, mainly morphine-are the triple feature in the great wave of narcotic inebriety that has rolled over this land in the last 40 years, !" writes Dr. J. B.. Mattison in The North American Re view. He now finds that the wave has spent itself and that the ebb tide has be- gun. The causes that are contributing to what Dr. Mattison justly calls "this glad end'' are various. For one thing the medical profession themselves are at last awakened to the dangers of pre- scribing the drugs named. Cocaine was used for years recklessly and with terri ble results under the mistaken impress sion that it was harmless narcotic. Not till some of the most gifted and skillful members of the medical profession them selves fell victims to cocaine di1 doc- tors become alive to the peril in it's use.
 Another cause as potent as any is the employment of electricity as remedial o6SAO~ 4(1s 4uabb4SQA D1OlOQAOSO C1lO S5dA- vanic current especially power against pain. It is safe to suppose that as time goes on and as the benefeent pow CT of electricity is better understood it will still further drive out the deadly drugs which merely paralyze the per caption of pain instead of stopping the pain itself
 While the use of morphine and other narcotic drugs is undoubtedly on the wane we have the cheerful assurance from statistics that alcoholic drunken ness is likewise steadily diminishing. The faithful figures show that ill pro- portion to the population there are less wine, whisky and even beer consumed than there were 20 years ago. One req that beer has been drugged and doctored with foreign substances to realize great CT profit on it till it has become un- wholesome. Certainly many beer drink CTS do not find it so palatable as they formerly did. Whisky distillers say there is no longer money to be made in their business because of the diminished consumption.
 These cheering signs indicate that the race is growing healthier and finer. ap- preaching Q stage in it's development where it does not crave the coarse and fiery stimulants. the deadening, crude narcotics of the old times.
