Instinct In a Young Beaver.

Every animal inherits the power of
doing certain things without being
taught-that is to say, they have what
is called instinct A gentleman re-
fused to believe In this instinct, so to
convince him Canadian friend

and sent it to the gentleman. The lit
tie beaver became a great pet in the
house, but gave no sign of wanting to
build a dam until one day leaky pail
of water was put on the floor Of the
back kitchen Though but baby, the
instinct now awoke in the beaver. The
instant be saw the water ooZing out of
the pail he scampered into the yard.

his dam. The gentleman was called
and watched the little fellow, very
much astonished by all he saw. He
gave orders to have IL left where 1t
was, and the industrious beaver kept
at his work four weeks, when he had
built a solid dam all around the pail.

THE SCARED WRIST.
Queer Dream story Connected With
the BeresfOrd Family.

| Queer Dream story Connected With
the feresfOrd Family.
| For three generations the BereSford
| family have handed down as substan-
| TALLY true a remarkable dream story
| which is connected with small peck
| etbook and piece of black ribbon in
| possession of q member of the family.
So well known and SO well authenticate
ed was the story that a member of the
Beresford family printed for private
circulation a short account OF the facts,
of which, without impugning the sim
certify of his relatives, he endeavored
to give simple explanation.
The narrative is q love story as we'll
| as a dream story. The heroine of it is
Nicola Hamilton. the young wife of
Sir Tristram Beresford. This young
lady appeared at the breakfast table
one morning very agitated and pale
and with her left wrist bound with a
piece of black ribbon. She replied to
her husbands inquiries by entreating
him to ask her no questions. She then
said that her brother, Lord Tyrone. of
whom she had been very fond, had
died ON the preceding Thursday. which
subsequently proved to be the case.
1t seems that in the night Lady
Beresford had dreamed that her broth
er sat by her bedside although she de-
clared he had indeed sat there and,
after telling her whom her child should
marry and that her husband would die
before her, warned her. with the ut
most vehemence against marrying the
second time.
IF you do remarry," her dream Wis
itor had said, you will suffer from
your husbands i'll treatment until your
death at forty Resist every
temptation to a second marriage" Re
quiring some proof of her brothers re-
atty, he had, at her request. touched
her wrist with his hand, whereupon
the sinews had Shrunk and the, nerves
withered She showed her wrist, bound
with black ribbon, but declared that 1t
had been forbidden her to uncover it.
When Sir Tristram died Lady Beres-
ford, in spite of all remonstrances, i'm
mediately sought absolute solitude and
retirement. But life without friends
proving unbearable, she consented to
exchange vishs with single family of
the neighborhood. In this family was
a son whom, after time, she strove in
vain 10 rcSdTu Will IuulntIcnCc. I1cL
love grew and overpowered her. When
the young man declared his passion she
consented to private union. All turned
out as the dream had foretOld. In a
year or SO her husbands conduct was
SO bad that she had to separate from
him. At forty-seven she died. After
her death her wrist was examined and
found to be as she had described 1t.
The most remarkable of the facts
connected with this strange story-the
SCARED wrists explained by the
writer of the pamphlet referred to
above as follows: He considers that
Lady Beresford. who knew that her !
brother, Lord Tyrone, was III. dreamed
that he was dead, and in consequence |
became so violently excited as to injure /,
her wrist In the morning she bound it |
up so tightly that in course of time the !,
sinews shrank and withered.

The navy hates the army because they have happened to be on oppo-ite sides or revolution or two, and each seems to think that it alone represents the ar1stocracy of the land.
