ABSORBED IN HER WORK.
Woman Writer Had Most Unusual
Gift Of Concentration


Mrs. Somervllle. the popular scien-
tifc writer, had a wonderful gift OF
concentration. She wrote her books
dealing with the phenomena OF the
universe with the hustle Of family life
in full swing around her. Her hus-
band once made wager with friend
that he would abuse her to her face
while she was writing, and that she
would remain unconscious Of it. Ac-
cordingly, one night, as she was abb
sorbed in composition, he said TO his
friend: Would you ever imagine that
my wife rouges? It's a fact. What's
more she wears a wig and her teeth
are false" Her daughters we're In
roars Of laughter. but she went on
placidly writing. At last her husband
said: Mrs. Somerville" in louder
tone. and paused. Then she looked
up and asked innocently, did you
speak to me. dear?"-London Globe

HAVE NOT GIFT OF THOUGHT.
Animals Utterly Without Reasoning

Animals have no language. Ian
guages are conventional signs of
thought and have to be learned. AMI
NAL sounds are instructive and are
instantly recognized by all the men,

mails may learn to express their
wants by signs which sympathetic
persons can understand, but animals
do not think in the way human beings
do. They do not learn the alphabet
or the multiplication table, learned
horses ard pigs to the contrary not
withstandihg. BY patience and skill
man can teach an animal to do things
which express thought; but the
thought Is in the mind OF the man and
not in the mind Of the beast, and is
communicated by signs which suggest
certain actions. When a pig tells the
difference Of the time between Boston
and Saratoga. he uses the cards which
in some secret way his master indi-

and associated with eating. Darwin

but 1t 10 now known that 1t is habit
Of pigs to point. Perhaps that sow's
