Every Animal It's Own Doctor.

Animals get rid Of their parasites by
using dust, mud. clay, etc. Those
suffering from fever, drink water, and
sometime plunge into it. When a dog
has lost it's appetite it eats that spe-
cies of grass kown as dogs grass,
which acts as an emetic and a purga-
tive. Cats also eat grass. Sheep and
COWS, when i'll, seek out certain herbs.
An animal suffering from chronic
rheumatism always keeps, as far as
possible, in the sun. The warrior
ants have regularly organized ambu-
lances. Latreille cut the antennae OF
an ant, and other ants came and COW

Popular Representation in Japan

Reference has been made to some
recent innovations in the form Of gov
ernment in Japan. The most import
ant change was proposed in the cleo
ton bill, which was too heavily bur
dened with amendments to reach de-
cisive action in the late diet. This
bill, by reducing the amount OF the
property qualifications, increases the
number of electors from 100000 to O.
100000, and the number of representa-
tiyes from 300 to 44O. Hitherto, under
the scheme of popular representation
there has been but one member of the
lower house for 100000 Inhabitants
and this ratio has not been deemed
sufficiently representative. The EN-
peror, desirous of increasing the popu
Iaritv Of his government, and of bring
ing it more into accord with that 0
western countries, approved the orig
inal provisions Of the bill, but tn
house proved hostile to 1t, and it wen
over to the next diet.

Destruction of q Legend.

Mr.. MOnCure d. Conway, in the Athe-

no minor Importance. In recent let
ter to the London Times, where an in
terview with Bismarck is printed, this
is what the chancellor is reported to
have said: "Frederick the Great was
the first European sovereign who rec
ognized the independence of the Unit
ed States" Mr.. Moncure D. Conway
declares this to be an amazing state
ment. He writes: While Louis XIV.
not only recognized American inde-
pendence, but allied himself with 1t,
| and sent over the officers, money and
| ships without which that independence
might have remained paper declar-
alton Frederick the Great never ut
tered a word of sympathy with Wash
ington or with his cause, but Hessian
troops were sent over with Frederick s
tacit consent to crush independence.
Vain efforts were made by dAlembert
to elicit from Frederick some opinion
about the American revolution" Did
Bismarck, asks Mr.. Conway, believe in
that legend that Frederick sent a
sword to Washington with the mes,
sage: From the oldest general in the
world to the greatest" ." The conclu
