The settlement of the tariff ques-

the causes of the improved tone in

throughout the country. Another
cause is the certainty Of another
bumper crop this fall, while a third
is the temperance Of the railroads

another, the ease in the money mar

YOUNG DUCKS.

They Have No Instructive Impulse to
Enter the Water.
It has turned out, under the search
Ing experimentation Of recent years,
that much that we have supposed to
be instinct in animals is not instinct
at all. For example, the young duck
proves to have no instructive impulse
to enter the water, does not recognize
the element by sight and is, in short
in precisely the same situation, as a
chick until, by happy chance, it gets
its legs wet. Wet legs, however, and
the lift of the water on the body at
once start up the swimming reaction.
