He stands feet inches high and weighs

formation makes you feel that you could
not hit him with anything in any part OF
his anatomy without hurting whatever you
might hit him with. The chances are that

RATS.

"The proper study of mankind is man." said the poet, but it is also prop
 CT, we suppose, to study rats. Anyhow,
 it is interesting. Some curious eXperi-
 ments have just been made at Clarl,
 university, having for their object to
 discover the mental processes of the
 rat Several mazes, made of wire net
 ting, were constructed after the pat
 tern of the Hampton Court maze. They
 contained several blind alleys and false
 passages, and food was placed in the central enclosure. Into these mazes rats
 were introduced. and their actions closely studied by a concealed observer. The observations led to certain con- clusions. Thus the female rat was found strikingly inferior to the male in ability to reach the food in the central enclosure. The initial movements in the maze were indefinite, and success in reaching the food for the first time, fortuitous. They rapidly learned by practice, and could soon find their way to the center with facility, showing only slight indeclsion at the entrance to he blind alleys They seemingly lacked the faculty of imita- ton altogether. and probably did not follow each other by scent. One other fact in connection with the experiments was the outbreak of the instincts of play and curiosity after he edge of appetite had been dulled.
 These conclusions seem reasonable sxcept that 1t is hard to believe that he female rat is "strilSingly inferior" o the male rat.

s0ME sURPRIsING TESTIMONY.

l One would hardly expect to find a
 Frenchman testifying in behalf of the
 English in South Africa, but M. Pavie, a Frenchman who was for four years in business in Johannesburg, speaks of
 the Boers as "vagabonds," 'brigands" and 'thieves," M Payie was an off1-
 cial of the French national office of ex-
 terior commerce, and was appointed by
 the government to advise his country
 men in regard to business matters in
 the Transvaal. He is quoted as say
 ing: "The way in which the Trans
 vaal government treated the Uitland- CTS was an outrage on civilization. The
 men who ruled at Pretoria were the enemies of trade and progress, and in- stead of granting facilities to those who were willing to develop the country, they placed every obstacle in their path" He is glad that the English flag is now flying over Pretoria, and says "If those of my misguided countrymen who went out to the Transvaal to fight for the Boers had known them as well as I do, they would have stayed at home" Under British rule, he looks for cleaner politics in civil government, and in place of the scandalously cor rupt police, who generally offered their services to the highest bidder, justice would be administered by honest hands. |
 Perhaps M. Pave will be charged | with having been bought with British | gold. but his remarks will interest some who have been trying to understand | he South African muddle.

IE7TER AND SPIRIT.

A decision rendered by Judge Boar man, of the federal court, in New Or leans is attracting some attention. An Italian who some years ago reached this country as an immigrant, and had declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States sent to his native land for his family, having through industry and thrift become as- sured of subsistence for himself and those dependent upon him. Following his directions they came to New Or leans but one of the number, a little girl, was forbidden to land, the cus- toms officials insisting that because she was afflicted with granulated eyelids she was amenable under a prohibitive clause of the immigration laws and must accordingly be deported. Natu- rally the father sought relief in an ap- peal from such a requirement, and

One ThiriG I.aCkinG.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 This was said to certain young man
 in far off age and land who aspired to
 be perfect. It may be said with much
 truth and proptiety to our city also, at
 the present time, while she Is aspiring
 to maintain, and to increase her pre-
 emlnence among the cities of our state.
 She excels in many things, yet she
 lacks one thing. She abounds in stately | elms which have given her "a name" far and near. She abounds in mercan- tile houses, and in manufacturing con-
 cerns which give profitable employment
 to thousands of men and women. She
 abounds also in fine streets and ave- nues, and in substantial-yea in many
 palatial homes. Her water and electric
 systems are among the best in the
 country. Yet when compared with her strongest rival on the North she is
 strangely lacking in one respect that she has not one life insurance company within her borders! Life insurance Is one of the most remarkable, successful and benef1cent of modern institutions; but we have none. Why not? Is it be- cause none is needed? That can hardly be the true explanation for our citizens contribute liberally to the support of companies located elsewhere far and near. Why then do we not have one of our own? Is it because we cannot sup ply the required capital to establish one? He who would offer that state ment as an explanation would be i laughed to scorn
 Is it because we lack men of suffi- cient business ability to manage such f a business successfully? Even our keenest rivals would hesitate to &C., count for our lack on that ground, Why then is New Haven, the seat of great university which has made it's name familiar in all civilized lands, without a single life insurance company while its rival, Hartford. has five or six, some of them among the best known and prosperous in all the land? A s.n- gle word explains it all, and that word s this Apathy" All that is necessary 8 for some one with initiative energy 0 start. Everything else essential to success is here, and abounds. Who will take the initiative? Will some en- erprising individual do it? Or will the , Chamber of Commerce do It? If we lave one, it may be we'll to model it :, fter "The Prevalent Life and Trust Company" the great and successful Quaker institution of Philadelphia.

ERIC DIER-G ENER1L FUNSTON N

| V l The action of the President in promptly promoting Frederick Funston, Brigadier- General, United States Vol
 unteers, to the office of Brigadier- Gen. eral in the regular army will not, we
 suppose, be very heartily indorsed by the officers of the regular army over whose heads General Funston goes. But it will be heartily approved by the
 people, who appreciate such courage
 and skill as General Funston has
 shown, and who are interested in hay
 ing the best men in command in the
 army, regardless of red tape. General
 Funston's career has been a meteoric
 one, and he is. we believe, red-headed,
 but he seems to have Judgment as well as fire. He has been doing bold things for many years, and he has managed to come out of them with success, honor and glory. Kansas is enthusiastically proud of him, and the whole country IS pointing at nm with pllue. lie IS splendid illustration of what United Statea soldiers can be and do. even when they do not have West Point ad- vantages. General Funston is small man, but he is a large soldier. By the way, the great Napoleon was a small man. Lord Roberts, another great sol dier, is also a small man.

"A few pecan trees, scientifically
 cared for, would be profitable side
 line for any Louisiana farmer" re-
 marked a prominent New Orleans hotel
 man few days ago, "I had the fact
 brought to my attention" he continued,
 ''in rather an odd manner. Last week
 I was out taking general survey of
 the market and, happening to drop into
 a big fancy grocery store, saw tray of
 gigantic oceans on one of the counters
 They were the finest, specimens of the

 diameter was almost that of a pigeon
 egg, and their symmetrical markings
 and the rich luster of their shells made
 them highly decorative in appearance.
 But when I inquired the price I was
 mortified 'Seventy-f1ve cents a pound,' said the dealtr. T know that's high,' he admitted, nearly twice as much as we get for almonds. but the Louisiana peach crop has been failure this year and those are the only first-class nuts in the market He then went on to ex- plain that a planter up the river had few pecan trees in his yard, to which he had given the greatest care. He had used a special fertilizer about the roots, pruned out superf1uous growth and en- deavored, as an experiment, to improve the species by scientific culture. The result I saw before me on the counter, and while the balance ot the crop the state had been very poor these trees had borne abundantly. Several barrels were gathered, and the grocer at once snapped up the entire ot at a fancy figure. After I heard the | story I put few of the nuts in paste | board box and mailed them to a friend | n New York who makes a speciality of | able delicacies. In a couple of days I | 'eceived telegram instructing me to l ,uy two barrels. They cost seventy | i've cents a pound, wired back. Buy wo barrels was the reply.

 that so gross an injustice as the send

California church societies will not benefit as much as they expected by the amendment to the Constitution, adopted last November, exempting churches from taxation. Attorney Gen. eral Ford has rendered an opinion to the Board of Equalization holding that parsonages built on church land do not come within the prohibition. He makes the same argument advanced by the Supreme court of Ohio, where much similar Constitutional provision exists. that parsonage, although built on land which. because of it's attachment to the church, would otherwise be exempt, is subject to assessment. The ground in such a case, he maintains, is appropri- ated to new and different use; instead
