Animals Insensible to Pain.

If it is true that animals feel pain
less than men, then it is also true that
the tortures and cruelties sometimes
inflicted upon animals if administered
to men would be unbearable to the
point almost Of insanity or death. The
most sensitive part of the human frame
is the skin. and while this is true rela-
lively of animals it is certain also that
the skin of dogs or other animals is
not so sensitive as that of man. Be-

a coat of insensitive hair. In the case

in heroic treatment of desperate cases,

COULD NOT REACH HER MONEY
Dilemma of the Girl with a Lunch Bill

and a Back -Buttoned Waist.
She had listened to long and i'm.
pressive lecture concerning the wicked
ness of tempting thieves and pickpOck-
cts by carrying a well-filled pocketbook
In the open hand the night before, and
had resolved to be no longer guilty in
this direction. SO only just sufficient
money to carry her through the morn
ing's shopping, as she supposed went
into the purse which she carried; the
rest of her worldly wealth she disposed
of in different manner Then she
went down town, proud with the con-
sciousness of having proved herself
strictly humanitarian and up to date.
BY the time the shopping opera tons
had been completed the sum of money
in her purse had been reduced to very
slender proportions. Quite forgetful Of
this, however, the fair student of So
cial economy entered a fashionable
lunch-room, and, being hungry, ordered
an expensive luncheon and ate it. But
when the time came for paying for thd
same rolled around clear and astons
ishing nervous shock came with it.
In her pocketbook rested in lonesome
state dime, nickel, and two pennies;
while the check for the luncheon footed
up to three figures. All the other money
which she had about her reposed in
the little money bag of chamois skin
which hung around her neck. beneath
her outer clothing, and the bodice
which she wore was buttoned up the
back!
An intimate friend who provideAtial
ly passed by ut that moment rescued
the unfortunate young woman from
her uncomfortable predicament, and
also loaned her a nickel to ride home
on. But the bag of chamois skin went
flying just as soon as she reached her
own chamber, and this particular stu
dent of social science has gone back to
carrying all the money she possesses
in her pocketbook, for good and ALL she
says.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

only find his bewilderment increased.
In fact, the apparent intention of the
designer of the "Manoir' is to instill
lasting doubt in the minds of men as
to whether they do really stand on

sible; he has learned to walk with his
head where his heels should be. The
lesson thus being learned, he will find
it possible to enjoy with equanimity

This ingenious production is the idea

Bishop Fallows' parody, wherein he
made man express Il longing to be Il
Kicker" rather than an angel, contains
Il deeper note than appears to the su-
pericial observer, says the Chicago
Tribune. 1t is the cry of the age-the
masculine cry-and one for which
there is the hope of an earthly con
summation. Man already stands with
the "kickers," and it is natural that
he should desire to be among them in
the world to come. Moreover, the
bishops parody is a protest against the
inanity of angels. 1t is not, as the
author declares, that humankind feel
that the wish to be an angel is a too
modest expression of their souls long
ing, but simply that the insipidity of
angels, their cloying perfection and
negative goodness, excite revolt rather
than admiration. 1t is so in fiction,
and the sanity Agnes in Dickens "Da-
vid Copperfeld" richly merits the an
tipathy of great critic like Saints
bury, who, when he CHANGED upon the
assertion that agnes is perhaps the
most charming character in the whole
range of fiction" declared that no de-
cent violence of eXpletive, no reason
able artifice of Typography, could eX-
press the depths of his feeling. Mod
ern readers do yawn over Agnes and
over Amelia Sedley, and it was not the
latter lady who received the tribute of
Il recent dramatization but her faulty
friend, Becky Sharp. SO it is we'll for
man to recognize that his place Is
among-the protestors-and that nose
gears rather than crowns must become
him.

Reports from correspondents lead the
Minneapolis Journal to predict that
1900 will be the great year in the
Northwest for immigration. Reports
from the registers of the land office
and from the land agents of the vari
GUS railways traversing the section tell
a story of unprecedented demand for
land and a rapidly swelling tide of i'm
migration. Thus homestead claims
filed at the principal land offices in
Minnesota and the Dakotas numbered
3,122 for the three months ending Feb.
%, 1900, as against 1915 during the
same period of the preceding year-an
increase of 12S per cent. The winter
months are the dullest of the year.
The Great Northern Railway estimates
,hat Immigration will be 30 per ce..
larger than in 1899, when 1t was 80
per cent larger than the preceding year.
From less than 100000 persons in 1860
the four States of Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Montana in
creased to about 100000 inhabitants
in 1890, one of the most remarkable
instances of rapid development on rec
ord The figures in 1900 are difficult
to estimate, but are not likely to he
disappointing. This increase has been
directly due to immigration, train af-
ter train load of people Fastening to
take up the lands the news of whose
wonderful productivity had gone forth.
The Immigration of EasternerS ceased
In great measure about 1890, although
the influx from northern Europe has
continued unabated. Now the foreign
immigration is greater than ever. A
larger proportion than ever is going to
the Northwest. Meanwhile the immi-
grafton from tho East and middle West
has revived. The Minneapolis Journal
estimates that the number of immi-
grants OF the present year will be in
excess OF 100000. There is plenty of
room in the Northwest, and the East
and middle West are willing TO contrib
ute to its growth.

Visitors to Worlds Fair Can Walk Oh
Their Heads-or Seem To.
Visitors to the Paris exhibition who
make their entrance by the Place de la
Concorde will probably wonder wheth-
er they are the victims of hallucination
or the subject of a seasonable practical
joke. They will be confronted with a
weird-looking structure, which mo-
mentary examination will show them
is in reality house. But it is not an
ordinary dwelling place. Architects
usually have a weakness for laying
their foundations upon solid substra
tum of earth. Not so the designer of
the "Manoir a rEnvers. He had laid
the foundations in the clouds, and the
only communication with mother earth
is by way of the chimneys and turrets
of his feudal mansion. Nevertheless
there is no danger of its falling into
space with its occupants, for, be it
noted, the topsy-turyy mansion is not
uninhabited. The visitor draws closer
and glances at the windows; people
dressed like himself look out. To his
astonishment they are as topsy-turvy
as the house, for their feet point sky
wards and their heads are directed
towards the ground.
