Client practice in the church, derived from
belief in the superior sanctity of the
East. There are scriptural illusions to the
East, from which notions of this kind may
have been drawn. 1t was>the custom of
the Jews to turn toward the East or
Jerusalem, at their prayers. when in any
other place. There was also an early
legendary belief that Christ would come
to judgment in the East For these, not
to mention other reasons, it became Gus
tomary to place the altar with the cruel
fix and other symbols at the east eXtrem-
ity Of the church, the church itself being
built as nearly as possible in a direct
line east and west, to which all bowed.
In the Romish church the practice is still
kept up of bowling toward the altar, or,
more correctly, toward the host, on enter
ing and departing from the church. In the
Masonic lodge the members look to the
east. Brands Popular Antiquities, edited

was further a custom in the early Chris

This Is still done in the Church of Rome.

SOME NATURALISTS THINK SO.
Do animals reason? This is a haunt
ing question, and it is not so easy to
answer as the superficial observer
might think. But the most profound
students of animal life in all it's phases
are answering it in the affirmative.
Only in modern times have men
looked into the eyes of certain of the
four footed kindred and been startled to
see therein something before unrecog-
nized, that answered to their own in
ner and intellectual if not spiritual
selves.
We have suddenly obtained a new
and clearer vision. We have come face
to face with personality, where we
were blindly wont to predicate mere
instinct and automatism. 1t is as if
one were to step carelessly out of ones
back door and marvel to see unrolling
before his new awakened eyes the
peaks and seas and misty valleys of an
unknown world.
Our chief writer's Of animal stories
at the present day may be regarded
as explorers of this unknown world,
absorbed in charting its topography.
They work upon substantial founda-
ton of known facts. They are minute
ly scrupHeus as to their natural his
tory and assidious contributors to
that science. But above all they are
diligent in their search for the mo-
tive beneath the action. Their care
and my care has been to catch the
varying, elusive personalities which
dwell back of the luminous brain win
dows of the dog, the horse and the
deer, or to wrap themselves in reserve
behind the inscrutable eyes OF all the
cats or to sit aioof in the gaze of the
hawk or the eagle.

toward it by deduction and induction

The central fact of the history of
penal law is that the present use of
prisons for so called punishment is
not founded. upon principle, but was
simply an accident of convenience. No
one ever devised them as a method
for the treatment of criminals. Sem
fences to terms of Imprisonment in
them developed from their mere utility
In holding prisoners awaiting trials or
execution. Penal law attempts to de-
fine each ofense and give it a name.
Guilt, so far as the penal law is con-
cerned, is measured on this scale. Yet
the objects treated by the penal law
are not crimes, but criminals. The
pretense that justice is meted out by
the penal law is laughed to scorn by
a glance. You have but to look at the
sentences inflicted by different judges
for similar offenses to see how far it's
administration in any state attains
its ends The term of imprisonment
which is fixed for particular convict

from the psychology of ancient stu

ANSWERS to questions two weeks

475-Musical instruments may be divid--
ed in three claSSeS-Stringed, wind, and
percussion. Stringed instruments are of
three kinds: those whose sounds are pro-
duced by friction, as the violin, viola,
violoncello, ETC.. by twitching with the
finger or otherwise, as the harp, guitar,
mandolin, etc.; by striking. as the piano
forte and dulcimer. Wind instruments are
of two kinds, viz, the reed species-as the
hautboy clarionet, etc.-and the flute
species, as the flute, fageolet, etc. The
trumpet, horn, trombone, and all similar
wind instruments, are generally classed
among the reed Instruments; but whether
the sound is produced by the lips OF the
blower acting as reed, or by the COM
pressed stream of air, as in flute instru-
ments, is not yet determined. Percussion
instruments are those which on being
struck produce only one fixed sound. as
the drum, triangle, symbals, tambourine,
etc. Whatever material may be used to
form a musical instrument, there are only
two means Of producing musical sounds
and these are by the vibrations Of a
fixed elastic body, such as the string Of
the violin or pianoforte, the reed of the
hautboy, bassoon,- etc; or by the vibra-
lions of confined column of air put into
motion by a stream of compressed air,

Persons who devote time and atten-

read carefully articles that have ap-
peared in recent numbers of the various
medical and hygienic magazines. 1t
has been pointed out that those who
would avoid throat troubles and other
dangerous diseases must remember
that cats and dogs carry contagion.
Many cases of diphtheria and scarlet
fever have been traced to the poor do

to share the homes and the affections
of man.
Some time ago the newspapers of
New York published articles describing
the devotion of a prominent society
woman to her dying parrot. This bird
was affected by throat trouble which
is quite common among parrots, and
which has been studied only within the
last five years. 1t is called psitacosis
and at one time 1t became epidemic in
Paris, where almost always it was
found fatal to human beings. This di-
sease, which is easily communicated, is,
of course, a menace to comparatively
few. Experience has shown, however,

Near Paris is remarkable village,
the inhabitants of which spend their
lives in the tree tops. If you look for
this curious spot on the map you will
find it spelled Sceaux, though it is
perhaps better known among the Par

1t appears that some fifty years ago
M Guescenin conceived the idea of
building restaurant in the tree tops.
He owned land at Sceaux in which
stood a grand old tree. In the branches
of this forest patriarch he erected
small dining rooms, which were reach
ed by rustic staircases. The view to
be obtained from these leafy heights
is unique.
