JOHN 4. D.ANN.

In the death of John A. Damn, cit izen worthy and true, most of whose long life was spent here, has passed away. His end was peace, that peace that he had been preparing for throughout the scores of years of his devotedness to Christian principles. His was an unright. honorable, exemplary life. He was dilgent in business, fer vent in spirit, serving the Lord. He sought not worldly honors, but in the church he was a man of usefulness, a strong and reliable support and in this field he had held posts of trust and dis tinction. He loved his friends who were numerous He was loyal to the church, to the city, to his country, a patriotic man who stood firm for what ever was worthy of support, He was wise in counsel and devoted to his home and family. His home and fam- fly were very dear to him. He has gone from earth but his memory will long be cherished by his loved ones and by all who were attached to him by the golden links of sincere friend ship

 With the annual expenditures al- ready amounting well toward the bil- lion mark, the proceeds of poverty tax es would hardly make an appreciable difference in any one year, as our mil lionaires do not often die in groups. A sronger objection to the plan it seems to us, is the one suggested by The Eve ming Herald in the question: What assurance is there that a paternal government would make better use of this surplus wealth, for the real good of the public, than the majority of our millionaires are now making in their development of the production, trade and resources of the country and in gifts and bequests for educational re- ligious, humane and charitable pur- poses, "-Boston Herald.

DO DOGS REASON?

This dog when let out would never disturb anything in the poultry yard, but the moment a stray chick lost her way into his yard the savage got the better of him; ne would catch the unfortunate straggler, kill and de- vour it. leaving only few feathers as evidence of the murder" Punishment always followed. The remnants of feath- CTS were shown to the dog so as to im- press on him his wrongdoing and make the cause of the punishment clear to him. From time to time young chickens would be missing and all efforts to To- cate the guilty one were vain. The dogs yard was always scrutinized, but noth- ing found,
 My best broilers were disappearing at a rapid rate, and I decided to have the dog watched. Soon he was caught in the act and the mystery solved, The moment the dog had finished his meal he scratched the feathers in heap and carried them with his teeth to corner of his yard. where he buried them, The dog had the most embarrassed and helpless expression at the time he was caught that l ever noticed on dog. An extra severe punishment was dealt out, and I do not know if the mortifi- cation of being trapped or the punish ment did the work, but the dog was cured from that moment on.
 The related observations show reason ling in order to accomplish something for set purpose. I believe most anil mals possess the quality in some degree more or less according to their mental development
 In the last case described the dogs instinct led him to catch and kill the chicken but memory told him that punishment would follow if found out He reasoned that by hiding the evil dence of his guilt he would escape punishment for his actions, which he understood to be wrong. The very fact of being able to discriminate between right and wrong and trying to check the consequences of the latter shows the necessity of thinking, and there fore of reasoning power,--S. L. De Fa' bry, in The Outing Magazine.

 The bad results of the action of Harry Thaw's mother in increasing his income from the small sum fixed by his wiser father in his will to the full ssO,OOO year which would have been his share from the estate, is made the text for approving a progressive tax on swollen fortunes that will prevent their being handed down to single heirs.
 Prof. Crook of Amherst points out objections to thls scheme. The first Is fixing the limit. Prof Crook is very liberal. He thinks that fortunes may be considered as swollen beyond healthy limits which yield from $5, 5,OoO GOO to $20,- 900, ,0OO year" Awestern statesman who has championed this idea thinks that the limit of the fortune itself might well be S1,00O,OOO, and should not ex- ceed $5 GOO, 0O0 A limitation that mere- ly drew the line at an income of from $5, 100000 to $20,OOO,000 a year certainly could not be regarded as very oppres- sive, Yet there are many fortunes in this country that yield more than the lessr sum mentioned, and several that exceed the larger. To repress and limit accumulation during the lifetime of the fortune-builder, Prof Crook thinks would put premium upon relative inefficiency and deprive society of the

The fire alarm was turned In about
