DISLlKES OF ANIMALS.
Inherited Instincts Dntinglfron Jungle
 Days Live In the Zoo.

Duyb lINc III thc AOos
 Not only Is 1t true that animals both domestic and wild, show decided pref ercnces for certain persons and n strong dislike to other individuals, but whole races of creatures often show universal hatred toward other species.
 To fight like "cats and dogs" has be- come Il proverb, but we must admit that there is abundant basis for it's truth In domestic cats this Is doubt less an inherited instinct, which in ono of it's larger relatives we can verify to-day. In India the tiger is king, al- most. Deep in the jungles the tigress makes her lair, and the cubs have few enemies. Bear or tiger cat, when they inadvertently come across the lair trail of the great striped one, back trail, and rapidly, too. It is doubtful if even the great python would disturb one of the little furry kittens. But the packs Of wild dogs are without fear, and would kill and eat the cubs and defy the parent when she returned. We'll she knows this, and also that although she might slay dozen, yet the others would pin her down careless if they died or no. So tiger in captivity will scrutinize a wolf without much show of anger, but pity the dog which ever comes within her reach, and if she cannot get at him her wrath of memory will vent itself in howls and fierce en- deavors on the bars of her cage.
 A leopard, which lives so much among the trees and could so easily es- cape the attacks oi wild dos5, hae no' instinctive hate, although a dog is a. tidbit which would be by no means de spised. This fact is well known to dogs, which show their fear of these arboreal felines, while they will mob tigers and other terrestrial cats. Pumas come under the same head as leopards, and are held in as great respect by dogs.
 In zoos the animals generally show dislike to children and cripples; in the first instance, doubtless, because they are leased by the youngsters, and in the second place because of the strange horror and hate which many animals show of the abnormal or con- ditions out of the usual, for discrimi- hating between which they have re- markable ability.
 Monkeys hate negroes; but this dis like of dark-skinned men is not con fined to the above e-mentioned class of animals. It is said that when Mir. Hagenbeck's Somalis were at the Crystal Palace they were invited one Sunday to see the zoo. There was nothing to which the most sensitive European could object in the appear ance of these free, half-Arab tribes- men; but when the dark men entered the lion-house there was an uproar. The animals were furious; they roared with rage. The apes and monkeys were frightened and angry; the ante lopes were alarmed, and even the phlegmatic wild cattle were excited. They recognized their natural enemies the dark skinned men who had hunt cd them for centuries in the jungles and the bush, and with whom their were captured and carried off captiv ve in the Nubian deserts.-New York 1 Evening Post.

DOMESTIC SERVICE IN JAPAN
Sons of the Nobility Take Novel Way to
 Learn English.

hcuTh AsuGitphs
 "I remember Q dlnher party at which was present in the house of an English official employed by the mlkado's government in Tokyo" says Sir Edwin Arnold in the London Standard. "The banquet, prepared and eaten in the Japanese manner for many of the guests were Japanese statesmen and oificials-was chiefly remarkable for the perfect skill and attention with which we were waited upon by good-looking and well-dressed boys seven or eight in number. l took occasion after dinner to inquire of our host how he had picked up and kept in his employ such well-taught, faultless attendants, whereupon he an swered: Every one of them is high born, educated youth of some we'll known native family in Tokyo or the provinces. They are lads of the old 'kaZoku" and "shizoku" rank, and they discharge in my house duties which are called menial among us, but which no Japanese gentleman fears to perform. give them lower wages than you are paying your "boysan' and jinrcksha runner, and they not only with willingness, but gladly and gratefully, carry out every domestic task for the sake of learning the Eng fish language quickly and of becom' ing familiar with western manners ard habits.' fa
 "I was greatly struck by the ex- planatiOn and secretly wished that l had heard 1t before the unfortunate moment when 1 had privately offered a Japan 'kinsats' Ca small banknote) to the bright youth changing my trays and charging my saki cup. Whence came such exquisite delicacy of re- spect and difference mingled with so much evidently wounded pride? Too late I had learned that my special at tendant was the son of a marquis, a nobleman of 5OO00 kOku of rice, whose sword would have been through my body for such an indscretion if we had met in the same fashion twen- ty or thirty years before. Every waiter, in fact. on that occasion, was high-born Japanese gentleman and to contrast one of them with the con- temptible creature who thought 'serv- ant a disgraceful title is to perceive that western vulgarism has much to learn even to-day from the grace and true self-respect in these matters of the east.
 "In point of fact almost the only thing veritably noble, distinguished desirable and of boundless honor is to serve. One of the chief necessi. ties of life worth living is to find a good master or good cause and serve him or it to the last point of self-im- posed. fidelity. We are all of us serv' ants, or ought to be, and the motto in scribed under the proudest crest of kinghood known to the world is that of each succeeding prince of Wales 'Ich Diem That service differs in de gree and dignity cannot, of course, be denied. There are splendid services which glorify their lowest detail and there are services which would be ig- noble if duty, which turns everything into what is divine, did not redeem them. The highest of all authorities lays it down: Let him that is great est among you be servant of all'; and it is very certain that the only safe way by which we can learn to com mand is to begin by learning to obey.' s<tAr

these daily sessions as many or the
most important matters coming before
the conference for consideration Will
be passed upon and finally settled in
the committee rooms.
An important feature OF to-day s

Hon. 8. r. Van SAINT, Governor OF Mime

Dear Sir-In connection with these six
W-seven cases Of trespass, allow me to
SAY that, taking all the trespasses settled
from JAM i, 1895. to Dec. ST. 1902, inclu-
sive that were settled on the basis Of
measurement by thousand feet, the aver
age price received by the state, per thou
sand feet, was $2.94.
During the same years, there were six
public sales Of timber held by the state,
in accordance with the provisions Of chap
ter 1853, laws Of 1885, and the average price
for the timber sold was $4.60.
From Jan. i, 1903, to date, there have
been ninety odd cases Of trespass settled
by the state and the average price of $7.09
per thousand feet was collected
There has been one sale Of timber at
public auction in accordance with the
above mentioned law, and the average
price realized at that sale was $6.08 per
thousand feet.
All sales and settlements mentioned in
this statement have been made under
lfexactly the same provisions Of law.

THE BARRY INCIDENT
The Accountants Testimony Valuable
in Lieu of Report.

The testimony Of John Barry, the
expert accountant who SO suddenly
quit the states employ, was transmit
ted to the governor April 20, with a
letter explaining the difficulties that
have attended the examination. The
legislature, by accepting the re-
port OF the house committee on pub
lie accounts and expenditures, 1t re-
ferred the unfinished work Of it's en-
ploye. John Barry, to the public ex-
aminer's department. On strong rec
concentrations Barry was employed
to finish the work, and was paid $50
2 : month : 81 tn from June to December.
1903. He was Instructed to make
careful examination and report in
writing on each portion Of the work
as 1t was completed. This he never
did, excusing himself on the plea that
there was such chaos in the auditors
office that 1t would take a great deal
OF time Finally, when pressed for
report, he absented himself, and,
altho promising repeatedly to return
and finish the work, he only appeared
after two months In response to a
subpoena. Mr.. Johnson says:
regret exceedingly that this important
work, which was promptly commenced, in
accordance with the request Of the legisla-
ture, and FOR which took SO much pains
thoroly efficient and trustworthy, has
been 50 greatly delayed. believe that a
careful perusal of Mr.. Barry's testimony,
and OF the exhibits herewith submitted,
Will convince you, when compared with
the facts set forth In reports I have here
tofore and herewith submit to you, that
Mr.. Barry, from some cause or other
failed to reach any, conclusions upon which
he could have made report that would
have been Of any practical use to the
department. In other words, the six
months work resulted in nothing but ru-
mors, gossip, misconception and confu-
sion. I have also to express my deepest
| regret because Of the indiscretions of an.
other employee Of this office In making
both verbally and otherwise, unauthorized
statements, either Injurious or compli.
| mentally, concerning interested persons
| and to others than myself or deputy, re-
garding the work of this department.
Prior to the discharge of Mr.. Gunders
by this department, and concerning the
subject matter of his .ndiscretions, bu
one interview was had with him by me
and at that interview his personal friend
L. p. Hunt, was present, at the request O.
MI. Gunders. It seems needless for m,
to say that no threats were made no re.
quest for the withdrawal of the state
ments he had made concerning the exam
ination of the auditors office, and tha
neither nor anyone representing this Of
flee asked him to write any letter or tax,
any action concerning the matter, as
am sure his friend and former sponso
will affirm.
