Darwin has shown TINT the fear of

instinct, and from this we may infer
that with other acquired instincts 1t
would more readily be lost or fall into
abeyance than those instincts that are
Unborn. With strange surroundings
animals tend to lose these acquired
instincts. rs is well shown by the cow

London In 12S4.

In 1854 NJ. La Combe published n
book entitled "a Picture Of London"
in which. inter ALA, he says: 1.-THE high
roads 30 or 40 miles round London are
filed. with armed highwaymcn and
footpads." This was then pretty true,
though the expression "1lled" is some
what Of an eXaggeration. The med
ical student of 40 or so years ago seems
to have been anticipated In 1884, for
NJ. La Combc tells us that "the brass
Knockers OF doors, which cost from IL
shiDings to Is shillings. are stolen ut
night If the maid forgets to unscrew
them"-a precaution which seems to
have gone out Of fashion.
NJ. La Combe, in another part Of his
book, exclaims: GLOW are you changed,
Londoners! Your women are become
bold, imperious and expensive. Bank
rupts and beggars, coincrs, spies and
informers. robbers and pickpockets
abound. The baker mixes alum in his
bread; the brewer puts opium and cop
per filling in his beer; the milkwoman
spoils her milk with snails."

How n1issourinns were Made

There are many ways Of settling q
state, according to Ainslee's Magazine.
Here's the story Of Missouri:
Tennessee mountaineers took ad-
vantage Of the more level lands Of Mis-
souri, to I'LL that state in an incredibly
short space Of time after the treaty
with the Osages, and in the states rich
and abundant soil and wnter they
might have made one Of the largest
and greatest Of the American common
wealths had not the vicinity been so
tempting to the Confederacy AMI SO
important to the north. In the terrific
contest that waged over the Freeing Of
the slaves the young men and the ad-
yenturous Of the community found it
easier to migrate than to remain at
home. easier even at the cost of facing
the unexDlored regions Of Kansas, New
Mexico and frizona. The enduring
viles rarrled, suffered the emotions of
war, posted the sacrifice of $4,000. 900
to be free Of serfdom and stamped up-
on Missouri the characteristics Of COM
bative endurance"

Hob White In AustraIIn.

Bob White is making his way around

a favorable report of the work of in
PRODUCING American quail into that
country. The birds We're sent from
Kansas via San Francisco, and after
a long and tempestuOus voyage, which
proved fatal to large number, 430
of the first consignment reached their
destination, but the death rate then
proved to be very high. Subsequent
shipments We're more successful, and
lots of from twenty 10 200 have been
distributed at dozen different points.
In its fifteenth annual report the We'll
lington Acclinatlzation Society notes
that the quail are doing well in their
new home. One serious drawback to
the enterprise is found in the poison
ing operations which are carried on
extensively for the suppression Of the
rabbit pest. Large numbers of the
birds are known to have perished
from this cause.-Forest and Stream.

the Swedish army under Gustavus
Adolphus, and also to that of the
French, where they were known as
the Scottish Archer Guard" At the
Restoration they returned amid gen.
eral rejoicings to serve under Charles
H., and have since taken part in count.

wear the thistle as their distinguishing
badge, and the letters RS" appear
on their shoulder straps. Next comes
the Royal West Surrey. or Queens,
who wear Catherine of Braganza's
lamb upon their collars. The Royal
Lancasters, or Kings own, have the
British lion on their collars specially
granted TO them by William III. The

Stephen GirnId,s Stnrf.

stephen Girard, the great benefactor
of Philadelphia, was born in Bor-

ten and put on ship as cabin boy.
That was his first trip to America.
He could not read or write, but he
worked hard to make up deficiencies
in carly training, and soon set up q
shop in Walker street, New York
City. IIe"e he married Polly Lum,
daughter of callier, against her
fathers wish. The marriage proved
unhappy, and Girard went to sea
again before, at forty, he found his
real vocation as a merchant in Phila.
delphia. When in 1893 yellow fever
broke out in the city Girard proved
himself true hero, and organized the
public hospital. His magnificent be-
quest TO the city is famous the world
over. In one room are kept his boxes
and his bookcase, some OF his papers,
his clothing-a pair OF homely old
knitted braces bespeaking his plain

"Thc mysterious faculty that enables
cats and pigeons TO find their way
back from remote points is one of
| the greatest puzzles in nature" said
a New orleans educator who has made
a speciality of zoology for many years.
1--WE speak OF It MS sense Of direction,
'homing instinct and brain COM
pass" he continued; "but as far as
explaining 1t Is concerned, nobody has
ever been able TO offer theory that
was even plausible. II used TO be
thought that the memory Of land
marks had something TO do with the
phenomena, but that Is exploded by
the fact that the animals always take
the shortest cut home, regardless OF
the circuitous route by which they
may have been carried away. That
such powers should be highly devel-
oped in creatures as different in other
respects as eats and pigeons Is In H.
self one of the most battling and extra
ordinary features of the whole prob
lem; but ] am convinced that the fac.
ulty, whatever II may be, exists in
rudimentary state in nearly all ami
mails, including man himself, and may
be easily sharpcned by circumstances
and surroundings.

known several who showed clear evil
dence that they possessed the brain
compass No matter where they
went, how they twisted and turned,
or what happened to distract their at
tention, they always knew the direc-
ton of their cabins and could return
unhesitatingly in bee line. They
were all ignorant men and absolutely
unable TO explain their power. The
only thing they could say was that
they felt it, Other trappers were re.
markably expert in finding their way
through the forest, but they were
simply adopts at woodcraft and went
by thousand signs and tokens TO
which they had unconsciously turned
their eyes. The two faculties were
entirely distinct, and, while the skilled
trainer was invariably alert and fever
ishly observant, the brain-compass
fellow was unusually duh and sleepy
and paid no attention to his surround
ings. The men themselves recognized
the existence of the homing instinct,
contented themselves by saying that II

A NOVEL TOW BOAT.
Buck Deer Tows n Party OF Fisherman

Every summer Is productive Of some
surprising stories concerning the wild
game of the Maine woods, partlculnr-

that they can scarcely avoid man IL

But perhaps as unusual method OF
interviewing deer comes from the

State, where they are most fertile In
finding new ways of creating scnsa-

They met their guide, w. G. Holt, OF

sixteen trout, one weighing three
pounds. The next day they had good
success. and on the morning of the
third day took n five and one-half.
pound trout, which Is one of the larg.
est. They left with fifty-four fine trout
TO the credit of Richardson pond, and
Saturday noon reached West Arm,
where they took four trout weighing
respectively four three and onehalf,
three and two and one-half pounds.
That night they returned to Upper
Dam and next morning went over to
the narrows, where they had good
luck. From here they went to Middle
Dam, thence TO b. pond, where the
sport with the deer took place. At d.
pond they took eighteen trout, weigh
ing over one pound each.
When about ready to start for home,
Monday, rowing from Gull Rock down
toward the camp about opposite Mas
sachusctts club house, they saw two
deer swimming In the pond. As the
boat nearcd the deer the latter would
head for the shore, then Holt would
row ont around them and head them
Off. This was kept up until the doe
went Off and Holt decided to pay his
attentions 20 the buck, which was n
good-sized one, with horns ten TO
twelve inches long I'm the velvet. In
half or three-quarters of an hour Holt
had tuckerod the old fellow so he
could put his hand on him. Next he
rowed around and grabbed the buck
by the tail and held on. This fright
ened the old fellow, and he struck ont
with renewed vigor, though he was
painting heavily.

The silage will have become settled
and have reached It's stationary stage
within three weeks after filling. The
silo may then be opened and feeding
may begin. Inpacking whole cornstalks
into the silo the butts should be laid
at the corners. II the butts mold,
but little valuable feeding material is
lost. Keep the edges of the silo about
two feet higher than the middle when
packing. 1t hardly pays to silo any
thing but the corn plant. The air
contained in the hollow stalks of most
fodder plants makes them hard to
keep sweet in silo. No need TO hurry
in filling unless the machinery is hired
by the day. After opening the sllo
1t is best TO begin feeding gradually.
The summer silo Is great help on
dairy farms when the pasturage be-
comes scanty. II should be a separate
structure or part of the winter sllo
separated with partition. 1t should
be filed with fodder corn and left un-
opened until the next summer.-Or.
