Grute Instinct.

Natural laws pertain to all things, and certain laws govern the conduct of brute society. But that the actions of the lower animals are ever prompted by 8 sense of duty is not only extreme. ly hypothetical, but altogether doubt ful. The hen has strong maternal affee. ton, but that she has the least idea of the virtue of that affection any more than of the virtue of doing good for evil is in the extreme eonjectural. 1t is often hard and even impossible to &C., count for tho likes and dislikes of ani- mals. Tie hen will sometimes destroy certain of her brood and the SOW de- vour her own offspring. Much of the cruelty is praeticed upon the brutes for the lack Of thought that they are not morally responsible. They are treated as if they are conscious of wiekedly selfish acts, once saw some men look ihg at drowning mouse in @ pail of water. Irebuked them, and one of them "a man pelhaps 40 years old-turned to me and said, "The mouse deserves 1t. ," Why deserved it? Pray tell US ghall we say it was conscious of the sin of thieving? Others may try to view it in that way. I do not. knew another man who would hold rats with tongs and roast them alive in tho fire If ho could not prove that they deserved their torture, he certainly wished to be. heye they did If we recognize a Crea~ tor, is it not most rational to suppose that he has created the brutes morally irresponsible and would have us thus regard them, that our inclination to tor. lure them would be held in rcstraint?-4 Forest and Stream.

that she is sufferer
 There is a wonderful medicine for troub- les of this description, that has stood the test for thirty years, and has been used suc- cessflilly by many thousands of women. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned and makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It allays inaamma- tion, heals alteration and soothes pain. It tones and builds up the nerves. It is tue discovery of Dr. R. " Pierce, an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y. This is one of the greatest medical institu- tions in the whole world During the thirty years that Dr. Pierce has been at its head he has gained the unbounded respect of his fellow citizens at BufTalo, and they showed it by making him their representa- tive i'll the National Congress, from which position he resigned to give the remainder of his life to the practice of his chosen profession. He will cheerfully answer, free of charge, any letters written to him by suffering women. Address, as above.
 :" A few years ago. writes Mrs. ". R. Bates, of Dilworth, Trumbull Go, Ohio, . took Doctor Pierces Favorite Prescription which has been a great benefit to me. I am in excellent health now. hope that every woman who is troubled with womens ills will try the Prescription and be benefited as have been."

One Of a healthy

One Of a heaitny woman's princf- pal charms is her vivacity of car riage-the dainty,

Entire New Keel Need ed.

New York, Dec II Naval Off
GERS believe the bAttleship Massa
chusetts must go out OF commission
and practically a new keel and sew
eral new frames must be supplied to
her before she will be fit for sea
This apprehension has been caused
by an incomplete examination made
by the naval constructors and divers
which showed that the keel is buck
led for 240 feet, and frames are
twisted Ia about seventeen different
places in that distance These in
iuries are the result of the accident
Of last Saturday, when the big YES
sci struck a mass OF rcck near Dia
mond Reef and drove over it.
The full extent Of the injuries
will not be known until the ship Is
in the dry dock. Naval officers were
startled when they learned the ma
ture of the accident to the ship.
They supposed that beyond the
bucsling OF few plates in the outer
skin the ship was unipjured They
are now astonishsd at the fact that
she did not sink and was able to go
to Tompkinsvillo and return 30 the
navy yard.
