Animal Intelligence.

Elephants are among the most &C.
verely drilled Of animals. Their intelli-
gence does not have free play in con-
sequence. But all English trainers
agree that there is great difference in
capacity between them and that some
will learn and remember a lesson far
more quickly than others.
Cats have very ''leye1'' brains and
are too self centered and self contained
as q rule to show the distinctions
which exist between them. Their
strongest instinct is toward a kind of
domestic comfort not exactly shared
with human beings, but enjoyed in
their company, to which the cat per-
fectly adapts itself. Yet there are mis-
anthrOpic cats which make no secret of
their dislike and contempt for mankind
in general, only come into the house
under protest and would prefer to sleep
in coal cellar to taking their nap in
good society. These are the exceptions
in the cat world, but every one has met
with them.
Birds are usually regarded as pos
sessing brains in classes" not as indi-
viduals, the origin of the belief being
probably the fact that birds of one
species usually build exactly the same
kind of nest. The generalization is not
correct. The same species may have
brains of all capacities Spec
tatOr.

Not at All Excited.

In certain Wisconsin city lives an
old German. now past eighty, who has
for years been in the hotel business.
The old gentleman is very fond of card
playing, and pitch is his favorite game.
One day a couple Of years ago party
was sitting about table playing, and
just as the cards had been dealt and
sorted and it was up to The old gentle
man to bid for the trump a boy rushed
into the office and in great excitement
said the barn was on fire
Without showing the least perturba-
ton the old gentleman turned to him,
and the following conversation took
place:

"Did you the buggy get out2"

Trolleys a Benefit to All.


Madison must have out of town

1t is here the trolley line brings prom
Use. Any notion that an evolutionary
achievement like an inter-urban troll
ley can be q drawback to anybody OF
to any community is to impeach eter-
nal truth and the fact Of progress
through the ages. These connecting
trOlleyS may in some instances change
the character of trade, and notably
at the crossroads; but they scatter
population over wider area and pre-
vent massing; they build up vacant
stretches between communities and i'll
crease land Values they brighten life
for the farmer; increase consumption
of goods; bring more trade to the larg-
Ell centers and correct freight and pas
Senger rates. The trolley and rural
mail delivery are revolutionizing Amer
lean life. The trolley has great bene-
fits in store for cities with towns of
considerable size within it's geograph-
ical and commercial zone, as seen on
the map, yet not yet bound to the city

It is now generally received fact

larger trees and allowing the others to
mature is being forced home This is
being done to some extent already,
and eventually our numbering will be
as scientific as in Germany, where a
forester would no more think of cut

Happily, timber will come on pretty
rapidly if one lets it alone. Like the
other crops of the farmer, it is making
money While he sleeps. Planting trees
to yield lumber rs 4 commercial ven
ture is rare as yet but it is being
done to some extent. Eighty acres Of
catalpa trees will be planted by the
Illinois Central on tract of land ad-
joining Duquoin, Ills.
It seems that the supply of railroad
ties is seriously short-it is difficult to
get the stuff. The railroad company
will put out 10000 trees on this tract
alone and the company has plans to
plant a number of such tracts. Recent
ly tracts containing more than 2,00O,-
600 trees were set out in Louisiana.
AS for the Illinois Centrals trees they
will be clustered at stations, set
around cattle pens and will be used
to hedge the company's yards at all
points. In ten years they will have
all the ties they wish. The catalpa is
pretty tree and fast grower. Nor
is it like the birch of which they say
in New England two men cut one
down and started across the lot to set
it up for post. 1t rotted into two
pieces before they got there!
