by giving each kitten an opportunity
to learn to kill and eat mice By watcn
ing the old cat do 50. This was done
rather to discover whether the XIII
tens would initiate than to teach them
what every cat is supposed TO be able
to do without tuition. After the KIT
ten had been In the cage with a
mouse for few minutes merely play
ing. the old cat was put into the
cage. She Immediately killed and ate
the mouse while the kitten looked on.
AS soon as the mother had finished
eating the mouse she was taken from
the cage and another mouse was put
In with the kitten. She played with
1t as she had with the other, with
out giving evidence of the influence Of
what she had just seen. After lew
minutes the mother was returned 10
the box and the mouse quickly met
its fate. This time the kitten was
permitted by the mother to take the
dead body. but she made no attempt
to eat it until the mother had exposed
the flesh for her. She then ate II

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutions
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustcahian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflama-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarr
which is nothing blu tan inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.

appetite amoung cats for live mice
Is instructive or acquired. For the
experiment he employed mother cat
and her three kittens five months
old.
When placed In cage with a large
black mouse the first kitten cautiously
smelled OF It, Then. as the mouse
ran away, the kitten ran after 1t and
struck at 1t with her paw. At the end
OF an hour the mouse was removed
from the cage uninjured Similarly
each of the other kittens was left In
the cage for an hour with the same
mouse. They played with 1t much
as they ordinarily played with objects
which moved when touched, but they
made no efforts to injure it. Thus in
this initial experiment not one of
the three kittens gave any evidence
of an instructive tendency to catch,
kill and eat mice.
Six weeks later each of the kittens
was again placed in the cage with a
mouse for from fifteen to twenty min
utes. In some cases the play was
little rougher and more vigorous than
previously, but the mouse was not
killed. This result is the more inter-
esting in view of the fact that the
kittens had not been fed for at least
twenty-four hours before the exper-
iment.
At this point tuition was introduced

ORAL ARGU-
MENT TO DAY
Before Court of Appeals
on The Parrish Case.
The Attorneys Confident That
They Will Secure A New Trial
For New Clients.

The court of appeals has set 0cto-
Der Sth as the day for the hearing of
oral argument in the case of James
H. Parrish, appealed from the Han
cock circuit court. 1t is understood
that two of Mr.. Parrish's Owensboro
attorneys and one of the Hawesville
attorneys will appear before the
court on that day in behalf of their
client, for whom they feel confident
they will obtain a new trial.
They are to go to Frankfort thor
oughly prepared with many and
varied arguments on tongue and in
two of the best briefs,it is claimed,
that were ever sent up from Owens
boro.
One of the briefs contains twenty
seven pages and relates to alleged
errors made by the court in the adj
mission of evidence and the other
contains fifty-six pages and relates TO
the insufficiency of evidence and to
errors in the instructions.
One of the vital points in the in
structions that is attacked with vigor
is that which defined the insolvency
of a bank as when, in the regular
course of trade 1T can not meet its
obligations. II will be contended
that this definition once held good in
civil or bankrupt cases, but that it
has been completely changed by the
bankrupt law of 1898, and that it
does not now hold good in either
civil or criminal cases but that the
present legal definition of insolvency
is when the aggregate of ones prop
erty shall not, at fair valuation, be
adequate TO pay his debts.
Another alleged error in the trial,
according to the brief, was the per-
hitting the prosecution TO prove
other deposits than the Martin de-
post, on which the indictment was
founded 1t is charged that others
were lugged into the case merely to
create sympathy for the losing de-
postors and prejudice against the de-
PENDANT.
The next matter on which great
stress is placed is the knowledge, on
the part of James II. Parrish, of the
insolvency of the bank at the time
of his receiving the Martin deposit. A
few cases are cited TO show that, in
the opinion of the counsel for the de-
tense, Mr.. Parrish did not know of
the insolvency in any way that would
incriminate him. No Kentucky case
is quoted, as there never has been a
case of the kind in the Kentucky
Court of Appeals and, because of
this, the case is of most unique in
terest and its progress in the higher
court will be watched with the most
intense interest.
