Legislative Notes.

The Legislature is going to be put
to the test in the matter Of bond is
sue. It will be remembered that the
of four years ago author
lied the Governor to float one million
dollars worth Of bonds for the pur-
pose Of building the state capitol. The
bonds were not issued and the State
built the Capitol without them, paying
the contractors out Of the general
fund, which was kept at dangerously
low ebb for several months, and dur
ing which time it was necessary for
large warrants to be cashed in Mem
phis banks at discount. But for the
collections made by the revenue agent
there is no doubt the bonds would
have been issued. There is today a

MAINL,s poRcUelNFs.

The State of Maine has her little troubles. For instance, porcupines. Also for instance, the little bills which she must pay for the killing of porcu- pines. During the last session of the Maine legislature an act was passed providing for an appropriation of $500 to be paid as a bounty on porcupines, twenty-five cents being paid on every animal killed. The returns to the State show that a total of 60,000 porcupines were killed during the year 1903. and the appropriation has been exceeded by s14.5OO. The several towns in the State have paid the bounty and now look 70 the State for reimbursement, which with the limited means at their com mand the officers are unable to make. Vouchers and certificates duly sworn to before justices of the peace were first returned to the treasurer's department and later handed to the governor and council. These will soon be ready for the legislature, where the entire matter will probably be referred to the claims committee and be duly acted upon. When reimbursement has been made to the several town treasurers the State of Maine will have paid, 1t is thought, for many New Brunswick porcupines, as it has been very easy matter to capture animals over the line and bring them into Maine and collect bounty. Before the repeal of tbis act can be ef- fected it will have cost the State con- siderable sum, as $15,OOO win cover only the year of 1903, the returns for the present year remaining to be heard from.
 With the Republican prosperity which Maine is going to help elect tomorrow she can easily pay for all the porcu- pines that have been killed. but Der ex- perience indicates the danger of offer ing bounties for dead porcupines.

ANIMALS HAVE DILIKEs.
Instinctive Hatred of Cows Toward
 Dogs-Monkeys' Characteristics.

Instinctive Hatred of Cows Toward
 Dogs s-Monkeys' Characteristics.
 Not only is it true that animals, both doniestic and wild, show decided pref erences for certain persons and strong Idilike to other individuals, but whole races of creatures often show a univer- sal hatred toward other species. In, the legends of ancient times this was no- lticed; always arrayed against each other were the otter and the crocodile, the hart and the dragon, the unicorn and the elephant.
 Perhaps the most interesting cases of dislikes are those which are inher- Iited; fear of the natural enemies of a certain weaker species being so strong that even the young just born may ex- lpertence it. All herds of cows and cattle hate dogs instinctively.
 Can we not trace this to the time Hong centuries ago when the wild herds were always in danger of being 3attacked by wild dogs or wolves which lslunk about on the outskirts of the herd, and watched with hungry eyes every chance to cut out and pull down a helpness calf?
 To fight like "cats and dogs has be- come proverb, and we must admit there is abundant basis for it's truth. In domestic cats, this is doubtless an inherited instinct, which in one of it's larger relatives we can verify today. In India the tiger is king, almost.

 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 Ithe cubs, and defy the parent when she returned.

S0MN CHANG ES.

When Judge Parker first appeared on the political horizon he was man Of peace, and devoid of the strenuousness of which some profess to be So afraid, Then we heard that he was a red-head- ed, fighting little boy once, and that he had not lost all his fighting quality in growing up. And now, to hear some people talk you would think he was a rip-roaring lion. And speaking of talk ing that was another change in him, Awhile ago the Democratic National Committee published a great proclanla- tion announcing that Judge Parker was elected and incidentally summarizing the state of the country and Judge Parker's unalterable determination not to make stump speeches. The commit tee said that he had decided that he would follow McKinley's precedent at Canton. He would speak only at ESQ pus. As the committee put it: And he caused that decision to be made gen. orally known. It was to the effect that he would not go upon the stump, that such speeches as he deemed desirable to make should be made at Rosemount, following in that respect the Mckinley precedent of 1896. That decision made and announced, he proceeded to work along the lines he had marked for him. self. He believed then, as he does now, that he decided rightly, and no amount of entreaty will budge him. His record during all his previous life proves that tclamor will not move him one iota. The incident is closed, and those in charge of the campaign fully approve of the determination of Judge Parker.
 And now Judge Parker has been making a whirlwindy campaign. He has changed much. And oh what a change will come over him Tuesday night!

 4 leopard. which lives so much among the trees and could so easily es- cape the attacks of wild dogs. has no instinctive hate, although a dog is a titbit which woud be by no means de- spised. This fact is well known to dogs, which show their fear of these arbo- real 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 a dislike to children and eripples; in the first instance, doubtless, because they are leased more by the young sters, and in the second place because .of the strange horror and hate which many animals show of the abnormal, or conditions out of the usal, for dis criminating between which they have remarkable ability.
 Monkeys hate negroes, but this dis like of dark skinned men is not eon- fined only to the above mentioned class of animals. It is said that when Mir Haggenback's Somalis were at the Crystal Palace they were invited one Sunday to see the Zoo, whither they went, accompanied by MT Menzies, the African explorer and hunter, who had brought them from Somaliland.
 There was nothing to which the most sensitive European could object in the appearance of these free, half Arab tribesmen, but when the dark men en- tered the idn house there was an up- roar. The animals were furious; they roared with rage. The apes and mon keys were frightened and angry, and even the phlegmatic wild cattle were excited. They recognized their natural enemies, the dark-skinned men who had hunted them for centuries in the jungles and bush, and with whom their own parents did battle when they were captured and carried off captive in the Nubian deserts.
 A bird will often die from sheer ter- TOT when greatly frightened, and par rots, emus and monkeys will sometimes faint dead away There are many cases of dislike or hate among animals which are inexplicable to us just as many people have unreasonable prejudlces against cats, mice, caterpillars >or snakes.
 Why, for instance, should camrnels arouse such disgust in horses? Bears
 and other animals are often unheeded by horses, but even the scent of camel which has passed sometimes before is

The house of lords confirm ed the will, but a subsequent act of parliament prohibited any such future accumulation for more than twenty one years after the testator's death. Peters savings, with the added inter est, ought to have amounted at the time named in the will to something like $75O,OOO,OOO, but a large part of this huge sum was fritted away in success sive litigations.
