Mathematical Animals

Lippnicotts Magazine: Several years
Rgo there lived in Cincinnati a mule which
was employed by a street railway com
I'm hauling cars up a steep incline. This
animal was hitched in front of the regu-
lar team, and unhitched as soon as the
car arrived at the top of the hill. 1t made
Il certain number of trips in the forenoon.
U rave forgotten the number, but Will
say fifty for the sake Of convenience, and
a like number in the afternoon, resting for
an hour at noon. AS soon as the mule
completed its fiftieth trip ii marched away
to it's stable without orders from its driv-
or. To show that it was not influenced by
the sound of the factory whistles and
bells. the following remarkable action on
the part of this animal is vouChed for by
the superintendent of the line, who gave
me these data: On a certain occasion, dur
ing a musical festival, this mule was
transferred to the night shift. and the very
instant II completed it's fiftieth trip It
started for the stables. 1t took the COM
bined efforts Of several men to make it re-
turn to its duty. At night there were no
that quitting time had come; it had
counted the trips, and, having finished its
full quota of fifty, it thought that the time
for rest and food had arrived.
Some monkeys give unmistakable evil
dences of the possession by them Of the
computing faculty. In 1889 / made the ac-
quaintance of a very intelligent chimpan-
zee which counld count as high as three.
That this was not q trick suggested by
sensual impulses l had ample opportunity
to satisfy myself. The owner of the ami
NAL would leave the room, no one being
present but myself, and when l would call
for two marbles, or one marble, or three
marbles, as the case might be, the monkey
would gravely hand over the proper num-
Der.
Wolf, Darwin, Forbes and Hartman
also give instances of the computing fac
ulty In apes and monkeys.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from n mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are SO taught.
| There is q little truth and n great deal
I! of exaggeration in this. If a young
suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. / was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. 1 was also troubled
with ~irregularity of menses. L was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtper-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. / followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as I
ever was. I have gained flesh and have
a good color. I am completely cured Of

avoid him as much as possible"
Lady Darrell looked up, her face pale, and
with q frightened look upon 1t.
why do you speak SO, Pauline? You
must have some reason for 1t. Tell me wha'
1t is"
No one had ever heard Lady Darrell speak
so earnestly before.
Tell me?" she repeated, and her very
heart was In the words.
Pardon me II | keep my own counsel" said
Pauline. There is wisdom in q few words"
Then Miss Hastings, always anxious to
make peace, said:
do not be anxious, Lady Darrell; Pau-
line knows that some OF tho unpleasantness
she had with Sir Oswald was owing to Cap
tain Langton. Perhaps that fact may affect
her view of his character"
Lady Darrell discreeily retired from the
contest.
II am sure you will both do all you can"
she said in her most lively manner. 1--WE

Darrell quilted the room.
"My dear Pauline" said Miss Hastings, 'it
you would"
But she paused suddenly, for Pauline was
sitting with a rapt expression on her face,
deaf to every word.
Such n light was in those dark eyes, proud,
triumphant, and clear-such a smile on those
curved lips; Pauline looked as though she
could see into futurity, and as though, while
the view half frightened, it pleased her.
Suddenly she rose from her seat, with her
hands clasped, evidently forgetting that she
was not alone.
Nothing could be better" she said. III
could not have asked of fate or fortune any
thing better than this"
When Miss Hastings, wondering at her
strange, excited manner, asked her u ques-
ton, she looked up with cle vague manner
of one just aroused from deep sleep.
"What are you thinking of, Pauline?" ask
ed Miss Hastings.
II am thinking" she replied, with n dreamy
smile, what good fortune always attends
those who know how to wait. | have waited,
and what l desired is come"
Thursday came at last. Certainly Lady
Darrell had spared neither time nor expense
in preparing for her visitor; it was some
thing like q warriors home-coming-the
rarest Of wines, the fairest of flowers, the
sweetest of smiles awaiting him. Lady Oar
relFs dress was the perfection of good taste
plain white silk trimmed with black lace,
with a few flowers in her golden hair. She
knew that she was looking her best; it was
the first time that the captain had seen her
in her present position, SO she was anxious
to make a favorable impression on him.

she said, holding out one white hand in
greeting.

bowed with the grace of n Chesterfield over
the little hand that he still held clasped in

Miss Emma Ryboli, Il prepossessing
school girl, of Milford, Ind, is of more
than usual intelligence, and is ambitious
to rise in the literary world.
In the fall Of 1896" said Mrs. Rybolt,
Emma was taken i'll. She was Il close
student and her work began to tell on her.
She grew weak, pale and nervous, and
complained of pains in her back, chest
and limbs. The doctor said she was n
victim of nervous prostrntion, and should
have been taken from school weeks ear
lier. She grew worse, her nerves were so
tense that the least noise irritated her
and she had n fever and Il continual
twitching in her muscles. The symptoms
were much like ST. Nitns' dnnce.

When My Turn Comes.
When my turn comes, dear shipmates all
oh, do not weep for me;
Wrap me up in my hammock tight,
And put me into the sea; p
For it's no good weeping
When n shipmate's sleeping,
And the long watch keeping
AT the bottom of the sea.
But think Of me sometimes and say:
"He did his duty right,
And strove the best he knew TO please
His captain in the fight
For it's no good weeping
When a shipmate's sleeping,
And the long watch keeping
Through the long, long night.
And let my epitaph be these words:
Cleared from this port, alone,
A craft was staunch, and sound, anG
true
Destination unknown"
And it's no good weeping
When a shipmate's sleeping,
And the long watch keeping
All alone, all alone.
And mark this well, my shipmates dear
Alone the long night through,
Up there In the darkness behind the stars
I'll look out sharp for YOU;
So it's no use weeping
When a shipmate's sleeping,
And the long watch keeping
All the long night through.
