TURNING TO LEFT.
Instinct Possessed Both by Man ana
the Lower AnimaIs. v

-.
Instinct has been defined as a sort
of inherited knowledge peculiar to the
lower animals. That man possesses
many analogous traits we all know;
but there is one SC subtly ~engrafted in
his nature that, under certain circum-
stances, he is unconsciously made to
act in precisely the same manner as
the wild animal, and that is in circle
travelling. 1t is a peculiar instict
which causes wild animals, when pur-
sued for any considerable distance,
always 20 travel In a circle; and man,
when lost on the veldt. the prairies,
or in the forest, unconsciously becomes
controlled by the same instinct and is
made to bend his course and travel in
a circle, and return to the same place
from whence he started. A notable in
stance of this is mentioned by Mr..
Catlin, an American traveller Of repute,
which occurred while ascending the
upper Missouri. He had left the steam
er on which he had been sailing up the
river, with the object of reaching an
Indian village by making a shortcut
across a prairie on foot, accompanied
only by a single attendant. In oug
course" said Mr.. Catlin, I'VE had a
prairie of some thirty miles to Cross;
and the second day, being dark and
cloudy, we had no object by which to
guide our course. having no compass
with me at the time. During the first
day the sun shone, and we kept our
course very well; but IN the next
morning, though we started right
Qaid our course), we no doubt sool
began to bend. Notwithstanding that
we appeared to be progressing in a
straight line. There was nothing to be
seen about us but short grass, every
where the same; and in the distance a
straight line, the horizon, all around
us. Late in the afternoon, and when
We were very much fatigued We came
upon the very spot, to our surprise
where we had bivouacked the night
before, and which VIC had left on that
morning. We had turned to the left
and no doubt had travelled all day in
a circle. The mex day, having the sun
shine, we laid land kept our course
without any difficulty. On arriving n
the Sioux village and relating our sin
gular adventure. the Indians laughed
at lis very heartily. and all the ch eff
united in assuring me that whenever
a man is lost on the p~rairies he trav'
els in a circle, and also that he invari'
ably turns to the left; OF which singu.
lar fact | have become doubly convinc'
cd by subsequent proofs similar to the
one mentioned.-Chamber's Journal.

JAPANESE BABIES.
They Get Good Doses of Nature and
Thrive Well.

lnIite
According to our modern scientific
ideas as to the careful treatment OF
babies, those of Japan would seem TO
have a hard time, and yet there are
no healthier. nor fatter looking little
mortals on the face of the earth. We
insist on a fixed temperature, on ster-
ilized milk, on all sorts of improved
things, while the Japanese baby gets
q good dose OF nature, and seems to
thrive on it. II is dressed and UNI
dressed in a frigid temperature in win
ter, and in summer its tender little
eyes are always exposed to the full
glare OF the sun, as 1t is carried on its
mothers back. II is to be feared,
however, that this latter treatment Of
ten does affect the eyes OF the children
though they get over 1t later in life.

81 am not ono OF those who regard the
republican prospect OF retaining control OF

tain. am inclined TO be a pessimist on
tho prospect, because there is prevalent
spirit of overcouAdence. Unless we can
shake OF this apathy, the party win be IN
danger of losing It's majority In the lower
branch OF congress.
'If the campaign could be fought ON
National issues alouo we would have the
democrats beaten 20 a standsttll. They
can not give Is bnttlc on the tariff, ON the
trusts, or on the Philippines, or on any
other issue that has been suggested. Our
real peril lies in local conditions that vary
In several States, and that threaten tho
loss OF an indefinite number OF congress
sional districts that are nomtnally repuou-

'For example, IN my ewn state, we
have, under the new superintendent, FIVE
congressional districts. Every one Of them
should be republican. But It is possible TO
lose three OF them because OF the coal

THAT has happened already t consider

colored exiles would return to their homes
