Animals Are Poor Sailors.

from Fur NEWS.
The polar bear is the only wild animal
that likes trip on the water, according
to a French scientist who has studied
it's behavior at sea. He is quite jolly
when aboard ship. but all other animals
violently resent such a voyage. and vo-
ciferously give vent to their feelings I'm
til seasickness brings silence.
The tiger suffers most of all He
whines pitifully. his eyes water contin-
ually. and he rubs his stomach with his
terrible paws. Horses are bad sailors
and often die on a sea voyage.
Oxen are heroic in their attempt not
to give way to sickness. Elephants do
not like the sea. but they are amenable
To medical treatment. A good remedy
is bucketfull of hot water CO.. aiming
three and a half piHts of W.. ami
seven ounces of .linine.

That the state Mental hospital rs

Brinkorhoff Miller Williams, Bulon.
Hulaniski, John y. Smith and Stookey,
and was accompanied on its trip by
Gov. Spry. The sending OF a small
committee 90 Provo follows "a sentiment
against putting the unfortunate i'm
mates of the institution on parade be-
fore the entire Legislature. This prac-
tise was instituted az the last lcgisla-
tive session after "a protest had been
made against having the entire
Legislature go TO gaze upon the inmates
of the mental hospital
Besides clearing the hospital man
agement OF charges OF cruelty, the COM
mittee recommends that more land be
secured FOR the institution and that
a separate institution be founded for
the care OF fecble-miuded children and
