Animal Intelligence.

Elephants are among the most Sc
verely drilled of animals. Their intelli
gence does not have free play In con
sequence. But all English trainers
agree that there Is n great difference In
capacity between them and that some
will learn and remember lesson far
more quickly than others.
Cats have very 'level" brains and
are too self centered and self contained
as 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 nre mis-
anthioplc cats which make no secret OF
their dislike and contempt for mankind
In general, only come into tho house
under protest and would prefer to sletp
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 Glasses" not as indi.
vlduals, 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.-London Spec

How He Snved Him.

They were speaking of certain ply
siclan favorably occasionally, but most
ly otherwise. Finally one of the party
spoke of the good qualities of the alb
sent doctor and said his life had once
been saved by the much criticised prac-
tltioner.
"IIow Is that?" some one asked. II
did not know he usually treated you"

A Sad Death.

DR.. Richard Ferguson, Jr., died
suddenly in Columbia Thursday night.
He went to Columbia about two years
ago, being then only 26 years old. He
appeared before the State board Of
medical examiners and, although he
had been out Of college for five years,
he stood the finest examination Of a
very large number Of applicants for
certificates. He then established an
Office in Columbia and devoted his at
tention exclusively to the ear and eye.
Those who had visited the office of the
leading specialists in the South said
that his was the best equipped Office
they had seen. He was easily given a
first place as a specialist and did a
large business, and was heartily re-
commended by all who patronized him.
He seemed nervous, but in his profess
sional work was master. DR.. Fer
guson used opiates and his nervous
system was very much diSaranged, and
it is stated that he could sleep only by
the use of opiates. Recently he has
been putting himself to sleep with
chloroform. Thursday afternoon he
was found dead in his Morris chair,
with a bottle Of chloroform on one
side and a handkerchief on the other.
He had evidently used too much chic
roform. All of the surroundings and
all of the circumstances indicated that
it was an accident. Dr.. Earle was
summoned and found that there was
nothing to be done.

Comes from Good Stock.

Major Micah jenkins, who declined
to accept the sword from the people
Of South Carolina after Lieutenant
Governor Tillman withdrew his inVi-
tation to President Roosevelt to pre-
sent the sword, is a son Of Major Gen.
eral Micah jenkins, Of the Confederate
army, who lost his life in the same
yolley that wounded General Long
street at Gettysburg. Major jenkins
is now commandant Of one Of the mill
tary schools in the State Of Virginia.
During the Spanish-American war he
was captain in one Of the troops Of
Rough Riders organized by General
Leonard Wood and President Theo-
dore Roosevelt. In the charge up
San Juan hill he outstripped all the
other riders and was the first man to
land in the Spanish trenches at the
summit. President Roosevelt was
greatly impressed with the daring OF
Major jenkins, who, he said, is the
bravest man he ever saw, and he re-
commended his appointment as major.

Another Theory Attacked.

Many people who realize the danger
of using impure city water boil it and
feel happy. Whether they succeed by
this method in remedying the evil is a
question which many medical men
will answer in the negative. All
chemists agree that the boiling Of
impure water, aside from the deStruc-
tion Of the life Of some Of the disease
germs, the elimination Of some of the
gases and the deposit Of portion of
the carbonate Of lime, always makes
it more impure. Boil a gallon OF
water until there is but quart left,
and the quart will contain all the i'm
purities of the gallon and will be near
ly four times as impure as before. By
continuing the boiling all the impuri-
ties, animal, vegetable and mineral,
except the gases thrown off. will be
reduced to one solid mass. The water
which is evaporated and passes of as
steam is very nearly pure. In the
boiling process the dangerous germs
may have been killed, but their re-
mains furnish excellent material for
bacterial life to feed upon.

A Terrible Cost.

Seldom has nation miscalculated
worse than has Great Britain in esti-
mating the difficulties it had to face
in the Boer war. When the British
government undertook to conquer the
Beers its expectation was that less
than $4,000 men and less than $780,
900, 900 would be sufficient to end the
struggle in less than six months. The
war has been going on about three
years and has cost more than $780,
100000. The British force in South
Africa at the last account was 237, 600
men and the British loss by death and
permanent disabilities has amounted
above $4,000. The total number OF
casualties including the wounded who
have recovered, at the last report, was
100, ,7O1 men and 5,240 officers. Sell
dom in modern times has such bloody
war been waged anywhere and the
proportionate loss OF. officers has been
the greatest in all history. UnQues-
tionably a great part Of the loss both
of men and money has been due to
incompetency.

Little Firecrackers.

When President Roosevelt comes
through South Carolina, any demon
strations of pleasure by the populace
must be confined to lusty yells. The
legislature has prohibiture the
sale of big frec1ackers, and the
little ones would not be strenu-
Gus enough for the occasion. But, in
very great seriousness, agents of fire
works manufacturing plants need not
load themselves down with samples OF
giant crackers when they 60 around
soliciting trade for the holidays. The
legislature limits the sale OF tirecrakerS
to these little fellows not over three
inches in lenth. Little frecrackers
and big pistols is the record of the
last legislature. The maximum length
of the irecracker is to be three inches;
the minimum length of pistol is to
be 20 inches. The frecracker law
SAYS in part that it shall be unlawful
for any person whether in his own
right or as agent, to SELF barter or exrE
change, within the limits of this
State, any frecraker, cannon crack
er, bomb or any kind Of explosive
cracker exceeding 3 inches in length,
or any kind Of explosive cracker con-
tanning dynamite. Any one violating
the provisions Of this act shall, upon
conviction, be punished by fine not
more than one hundred dollars, or
imprisonment for not more than 80

Great Storms North.

DISPATCHES from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
show that more than score Of lives
were lost and s5,000,000 worth Of
property was destroyed in Northeast
ern Pennsylvania by the recent storms
and rains. The danger is over, but
the full extent Of the damage is yet
to be seen. Eighteen thousand home
less persons in the Wyoming Valley
are anxiously watching the backwards
course of the waters. The water has
receded in Paterson, \. j., so that the
danger there practically is over, but
there were many daring reScues of
persons who had stayed in the flooded
houses. So many mills were damaged
that ten thousand operatives are
thrown out Of work for an indefinite
time. In PasSaic six men are report
ed to have been carried down with a
bridge, which was washed away. The
current was so swift that it was impos-
sible to rescue them. Cities and towns
in almost all sections Of New York,
and New England states suffered
heavy damages to property, and delay
ed trains were reported.

A Funny Story.

The Atlanta Journal says quite a
sensation was sprung on the citizens
Of Athens Wednesday morning when
the rumor became general that the
body of a dead man was at the ware
house Of the Georgia railroad depot
and had been there sihce last Septem-
Der. Early in the morning crowds
we're at the depot to verify the story.
The box was received by the authori-
ties IN September and was from New
born, S. c., and consigned to ". T.
Hoffman. After being in the depot
all this while it was opened by depot
officers Tuesday and they were aston
ished to find the body Of a petrihed
man. The box was plain, oblong
one, somewhat casket shaped. The
man IS FIVE feet nine inches and
weighs 24O pounds. 1t is claimed the
body was found in Saluda river. South
Carolina. In the breast are two oul-
let holes and the man had been scalped,
presumably by the Indians. The teeth
are plugged with gold and finger
and toe nails are perfect. The
hands are crossed across the breast
Just as the body was buried. 1t is
claimed that the man had been on
exhibition in Charleston and Chicago.

Hicks ON Storms.

Hicks, the St. Louis editor Of Word

right for the last week Of February.
He warned his readers against electric
storms and the storm period that
would go out with February into
March. The reports from Maine to
Mexico and from Wisconsin to Key
West show that violent an destruct-
i've floods with high winds prevailed:
In his almanac he says that there Will
be unusual disturbances from the first
to the fifth Of March. Dangerous
storms may be expected on those days.
Thun| storms in the South and sleet
and snow in higher latitudes. Storny
gales and blizzards may be expected
along the lakes to 10. Up to the 10th
storm conditions will prevail. The
most stormy period will be the 2lst to

4 MEAN THIEF.
Robbed A Minister as the Crowd
Went to the Altar.
A PICKPoCKET IN a CHURCH.
The Pastor of the Church, Took
Up a Collection to Reim-
burse the Minister for
His Loss.

The Atlanta Journal says pickpock-
cts played alittie joke on the Atlanta
detective department Wednesday
night. and are now quietly laughing
while the detectives are wondering.
Incensed at the pickpockets daring to
appear in Atlanta, almost the entire
detective department went out We'd
neSday night to capture the gentle
men of the light finger touch. Sa-
looms. pool rooms, hotel lobbies, every
where that bad or sporty man would
likely be, were visited. And while
the detectives were taking in these
places pickpocketS were quietly enjoy
ing the services at the Tabernacle
Baptist church, and just TO keep their
hand in they robbed a few preachers
and worshiperS.
Atlanta is usually free from the pro-
fessional crook, but at present he
seems to be holding his owr. Cases
of pickpocketing and purse snatching
are now daily or nightly occurrences
in Atlanta. The detectives are doing
some nar0 work to break it up, only it
did not occur to them to 60 to church.
Perhaps the detectives will go to
church. If so let the people in the
saloon and in the hotels beware. Fer
the pickpockets seem to be keeping an
eye on the officers as well as on possible
Doodle.
1t was about o'clock Wednesday
afternoon that the first suspicion Of
pickpockets being in the Tabernale
church was aroused. DR.. Broughton,
from his seat on the conference plat
form, noticed some suspicious looking
characters enter. There were four
men and two women in the crowc.
Shortly afterward he saw one Of the
men crowd against DR.. Campbell, OF
Anderson, S. G. 1t was only a few
moments then before DR.. Campbell
went forward and told DR.. Broughton
he had been robbed Of his purse, cor-
tanning $40. Later it was discovered
that two other members Of the cor-
ference had been robbed.
DR.. !. W. Hurt, the Sixth ward
physician, had an encounter with
pickpocket as he was on his way home
from the conference. DR.. Uurt was
on the street car, when he felt hand
enter his pocket, where he had his
money. Instantly he grabbed the
man and the would-be thief, to get
away, gave up his overcoat, pulling
it off as the two men struggled. The
overcoat and a pair of gloves found in
the pocket were turned over to the
detectives. They will be used as
clewS to trace the thieves. The over
coat was good one and would indi-
cate that the pickpocket was a very
prosperous one.
The gang now in Atlanta is getting
in some good work. William +. Rob
erts was on Monday night robbed of a
$3.50 scarf pin on the street car as he
was returning from the bicycle races
at Piedmont park. Frank Casey was
caught by Mr.. Roberts and turned
over to the police. Casey did not
have the pin, but heis believed to have
been with the man who did rob Rob
erts. Wednesday night Steve Wallace
was arrested at the union depot on
suspicion.

The English Language.

Two-thirds of all the letters which
pass through the poStofice Of the
world are written by and sent to peo-
pie who speak English, according to
BradstreeU's. There are substantially
500. 200, 900 persons speaking colloqui-
ally one or another of the ten or twelve
chief modern languages, and of these
about 25 per cent. or 125, 100000 per-
sons, speak English. About 10000
900 speak Russian. 100000 Ger
man, 100000 French, 45,o00:O0o
Spanish, 35,O00,00O Italian and H.
100000 Portuguese, and the balance
Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Flemish,
Bohemian, Gaelic, Roumanian, Swed-
ish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian.
Thus, while only one-quarter of those
who employ the facilities of the pos
tai department of civilized Govern
ments speak as their native tongue
English, two-thirds Of those who cor
respond do so in the English language.
