The situation at the Union Stock yards
was unchanged last evening. There are
several car loads of hog in the yards
but no buyers. The packing houses are
surrounded by water and their stock
pens are all flooded.
There are just few pens in the fioored
section of the Union Stock yards that
are above water and this ena bles the
stock yards company TO take care of the
hogs. Two car loads were taken in yes

Some OF the commission men have been
discussing the matter Of sending their
hogs to 81. Louis. as that is the only

The situation at the yards last night
was not only not improved. bbut was
growing worse The exchange building
was nearly surrounded and about four
inches Of water was running over the

busy without doing ANYTHING. This ac-
complshment obviously differs from
that of loafing. 1t is one which ami
mails have brought to perfection and
of which many human beings, chiefly
women, are very able opponents. There
is overhead wasp busily exploring
the holes in the trunk of tree. Why
he does this he probably does not know:
he has no time to stop and think. He
though his life depended upon it. Five
times within the last six minutes he
has minutely inspected every portion
of the same hole. All his labor is use
less. in a sense; without it, however,
the wasp would in all probability die
of ennui. The wasp is not an isolated
case Most animals are experts at frit,
tering away time; they spend much
of their lives in actively doing nothing.
Watch canary in a cage. He hops
backward and forward between two
perches as though he was paid by the
distance for doing So Look at a butter
fly. 1t leads an aimless existence. New

probably visits twenty times as many
flowers in the day as butterfly; for
all that the butterfly is always on the
move.
When speaking of the swift, notice
how long it took to find the materials
for its nest, how it went afar off to
seek that which was at its feet This,
although the result of stupidity, is
doubtless blessing to the bird. Nest
building affords great pleasure to the
bird-the more protracted the amuse-
ment the better for the architect. The
squirrel labors from early morn till
late eve laying up a store of nuts.
When one storehouse is full, the indus
trious animal opens another and then
proceeds to forget the existence of the
first. Lastly, animals spend no incon-
siderable portion Of the day in play.
Nearly all the higher animals indulge
in play; some go so far as to play reg
uIar games.-Times of India.
