CRIME IN ANIMALS.
KILL, STEAL AND BREAK THEIR
OWN LAWS.
OHabult a anusa Seaee A Ttmmt
Mark ud Bar Lover Hwlinl the

' NIMALS commit
crime ia tht con
tention of Mr.
William Ferrero,
a distinguished ex-
'ponent of jeycnolo-
Jgr and the theory
of evolution. He
also maintains the
general proposition
that everything one
meets with in com
munities formed by man is also to be
found pn a smaller scale and in rough
outlines among the animal species.
Cases of theft are recorded among bees.
Buchner in his "Psychic Life of Ani
mals" speaks of thievish bees, which, in
order to save themselves the trouble
of working, attack well-stocked hives
In masses, kill the sentinels and the
Inhabitants, rob the hives and carry
. off the provisions, After repeated en
terprises of this description they ac
quire a taBte for robbery and violence
and form companies of brigand bees.
Sparrows have a habit of stealing
swallows' nests. The swallows occa
sionally retaliate. In one case they
have been known to do so by killing the
young of the sparrows.
Some pigeons steal straw and other
building materials from dove cotes.
The thieving pigeons have been ob
served to be shiftless birds, bad flyers
and carriers. They showed the prin
cipal characteristic of human thieves
disinclination to work.
Cases of theft have at times been re
marked among female dogs, but such
cases are almost always Influenced by
maternal love. Certain dogs which,
when in a normal condition, are very
well behaved and respect their masters'
property, begin to steal when they have
puppies, and they steal anything that
the latter will eat
Nor is murder wanting among ani
mals; that Is to say, not murder such
as is caused by the exigencies of the
struggle for life; but murder committed
under the influence of individual malice
or passion. It would be absurd to de
clare that the hawk which kills a swal
low is a criminal, for he Is only fight
ing out his struggle for existence; but,
on the other hand, animals which kill
others of their own species are guilty
of a true criminal act when they do so
for any other reason than that of self
v defense.
Thus, Karl Vogt, the celebrated Ger
man naturalist, has observed a couple
of storks that had for several years
built their nest in a village near Sal
,ette. One day it was noticed that, when
the male was out In search of food,
another younger bird began to court
the female. At first he was repulsed,
then tolerated and welcomed; at last,
one morning, the two birds flew away
to the leld where the husband was
hunting tor frogs and killed him. Ac
cording to Brehm, storks often murder
the members of the flock which either
refuse to follow them at the time of
migration or are not able to do so'.
Crimes caused by mental alienation
or by some psychic troubles are also to
be found among the more intelligent
species crimes very much resembling
those caased by madness in man.
Thus, among elephants there are in
stances In which individuals are seized
with a desire to kill other elephants
and men without provocation, whereas,
normally, the elephant has an extreme
ly meek and peaceable character. The
natives of India call these elephants
hora, and their morbid state of mind
is attributed to the solitude in which
they live.
DINING WITH THE PRINCE.
What People May Expect Who Receive
an loTltatlon to Ilia Table.
The prince of Wales' dinner begins
punctually at 8:45 p. m., and lasts an
hour and ten minutes. Rapid service
is a household law, and is quite neces
sary as the menu ia rather extended,
though not ostentatiously elaborate.
Four or five waiters only ate allowed
to enter the dining hall. The kitchen Is,
of course, at some distance, but for
the sake of dispatch a servlng-room ad
joins the dining-hall, and here a little
army of assistants supplies the waiters
at an instant's notice. Soft, low music
is played during the entire hour. The
menu card is almost severe in its plain
ness, having simply a narrow gold bor
der, surmounted by the royal crest, and
la alwavs nrlnted in French. The
courses are arranged In first and sec
ond service. In each course an alterna
tion of china and silver plates Is Btrlct
y observed; for instance, turtle soup
In silver plates and bisque in china
plates. For the first course a fillet of
tout artistically garnished, upon an
oval entree dish of silver, and sole with
rich "soucle" on a china plate, guests
being given choice of either fish
"Cotellettes de volaillee" and "chaud
froids" follow; and then comes haunch
es of venison on large silver dishes, and
saddles of mutton, also on silver. The
meats are all previously carved in the
serving room. Dainty deserts conclude
the bountiful repast
Education.
I believe it incumbent upon the citi
zens of the Twentieth century never to
rest till congress shall enact laws com
pelling every child for seven years to be
educated at state expense, and at the
public schools and nowhere else. Rev.

THE HEROIC SYMPHONY.
aw MapoUoa Ceased ta Be tka Idea,
af Beethovea.
A work of art requires no explana
tlon, says the Saturday Review. Bui
the very title Beethoven gave thi
Heroic Symphony provokes questlo!
and there have been many endeavors U
explain it Wagner tried less to ex
plain its meaning than to explain it
away. Chained to his one idea, he as
serted that Beethoven's hero was not
military hero, but a young man of com
plete spiritual and physical endowment
who passed from mere brute delight li
life and his strength through traglt
Buffering to a high spiritual satlsfactloi
in love; that ia to say, he asserted thai
Bethoven'i hero was Parsifal or Sieg
fried.
Now, this much of Wagner's theorj
Is true, that Beethoven would not wor
ship a mere human butcher any mort
than he would worship a pork butchei
as a hero. On the other hand, Beetho
ven's hero was undoubtedly a mllltarj
hero, Napoleon Bonaparte. We know
that the symphony was originally dedi
cated to Napoleon, that the dedication
was altered when Napoleon (as Beetho
ven thought) turned traitor and becami
emperor; we know that when the newt
of his death came Beethoven casually
remarked that he had already com
posed the music for that event.
Of what parts, then, of Napoleon'i
career do the first and last two move
ments tell? These are questions which
can never be answered; and, mere curi
osity apart, it so happens that it mat
ters little whether they are answered
or not answered, so long as they are
not answered altogether wrongly. Foi
whatever events Beethoven might at
any moment have in his mind he nevei
tried to depict them, but only to com
municate the emotion they aroused. He
himself said as much. It is in the ex
pression of human emotion he is su
preme, and to feel aright the emotion
of the heroic symphony we need only
have our minds clear of a story which
Beethoven did not and could not have
had in his mind.
OLD CRIZ2LYFINALLY KILLED.
Death of a Wild Boar Which Infested
the Vicinity of Chlco.
"Grizzly Bend" was the name borne
for many years by that portion of the
county lying along the Sacramento
River southeasterly from Chico and em
bracing the Parrott ranch and othei
lands in that vicinity, says the Orovtlle
Mercury. Of course, It is long year
since the grizzly held possession there,
as, like the Indian, he was forced to
give way before the Dioneer settler ni
that vicinity.
A place, however, so well calculated
for the home of the grizzly could not
long be without its representative,
even if It had to be an animal some
what less wild and more domestic in
its habits. Hogs turned loose in the
swamps and morasses soon became so
wild that it was dangerous for a per
son to be caught unawares by one of the
patriarchs of the herds that infested
the district.
So large and vicious had one of these
fellows become that he was known and
feared by all the residents in that vicin
ity, and for his wild nature and fero
cious conduct generally had become
known as "Old Grizzly," and It was
claimed he was bullet proof and could
not be slain. Recentlv he fell a victim
to a party of hunters who sought him
with the avowed purpose of effecting
his extermination.
The boar was an immense fellow and
weighed 550 pounds. His tusks were
long, one of them being partly broken
off. The hide was over an inch thick
and the shields on the shoulders were
two and one-half inches thick. He
had never been injured by dogs or gun
before.
HU Prices Were High.
Some time ago an Englishman visited
Caifa, an out-of-the-way place in the
dominions of the sultan of Turkey. On
asking for his hotel bill before leaving
he found himself charged outrageous
prices for the sorry accommodations he
had received. He flew into a rage, but
finally, on the advice of his wife, he
paid the whole amount A few
days later the hotel keeper received a
letter, saying, "Your prices are too
high!" A few weeks later a package ar
rived. The Inn-keeper removed wrap
per after wrapper. 100 of them, and
then found a card on which was writ
ten, "Your prices are too high!" A few
months later, quite lately, a large box
was sent him, and he paid a goodly
sum for freight charges. On opening it
after doing a tremendous amount of
unpacking, he found another card:
"Your prices are too high!" Since then
the poor man has refused to accept any
more letters, parcels or boxes. New

Bloomers of Brocaded Satin.
Perhaps the most unique novelty is
the dainty lace-trlmmed bloomers of
brocaded satin. They are designed to
take the place of the short flannel pet
ticoat so dear to the heart of the old-
fashioned woman. These bloomers are
lined throughout with canton flannel
to give the necessary warmth, and real
ly protect the legs much more effective
ly than a skirt would. The fashionable
new woman wears over them nothing
but a long silk petticoat, and her dress
skirt, but she wears beneath them the
regulation flannel drawers. Less ex
pensive bloomers are made of taffeta,
and still others of flannel.
Silvering- Mirrors.
A method of silvering mirrors, pro
ducing mirrors of much greater bril
liancy than those made by ordinary pro
cesses, hae been discovered by Herr
Hans Boas of Kiel. It is based on the
fact that when a heavy metal forms
the cathode of a vacuum tube contain
ing a trace of hydrogen, the electric
current volatilizes the metal, which is
deposited as a firmly adherent and
highly polished layer on the walls of
A MOTORMAH'S LIFE
FULL OF HARDSHIPS, EXPOSURE
AJiD COST AM DANGER.
The Great Strain on a Man's Nerves Huffl
clentln ItHelfto Wreck Him InaMinrt
Time. The Experience of a Well
Known Motormrn.
From the Qocinntti, Ohio, Enquirer.
The life of a motorman is not a bed of
roses. He is subjected , to many hard
ships especially in the winter when he is
exposed to the cold and snow. Even in
the sunmmer he mast- bear the intense
heat which beats down upon him. Con
siderabl nerve and self possesion is nec
essary in a good motorman, for the lives
and limbs of his passengers are at stake.
One of the bent known electric motormen
in this city is William Frazer, who in at
present running a car on the Commins
ville electric line. He is not only well
known to his fellow imployes but to the
people who travel on his car. Mr. Frazer
is a young man about twenty-six years
of age and residt-s with his wife and child
at 144 Betts Street.Cincinatti, O.. About
a year ago Mr. Frazer was taken with
serious stomach troubles. He bought
several kinds of medicine which were rec
ommended to him, but none of them
seemed to give him even tempoary bene
fit. An enthusiastic admirer of that
fnmouH remedy known as Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People told him to
try them. Frazer was'almost discour
aged, but took the advice. To a report
er of the Enquirer bo said:
"I can most heartilv recommend Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. They are all that
is claimed for them, in fact they adver
tise themselves better than any medicine
I ever saw. 1 was seized some time ago
with a bad attack of indigestion. My
stomach hurt me nearly all the time and
I could not digest my food. The pain
was almoHt unbearable and Ifound noth
ing that would give me relief. I confess
that when I bought the first box of Pink
Pills I hadn't much confidence in their
efficacy because I had tried so many
things without success that I was al
most discouraged. Before I had taken
one box I was decidedly better. Two
boxes cured me entirely. While I have
been under the weather from other causes
my indigestion has never returned. If it
ever should I know just what to do. I
have so much confidence in the efficacy
of Pink Pills that if I ever get real sick
again with any disorder I shall use some
of them. It is a pleasure for me I assure
you to testify to the excellent qualities
of these Pink Pills. They not only tone
the stomach but regulate the bowels and
act as a mild cathartic."
Mr. Frazer's testimonial means some
thing. He speaks from personal exper
ience and any one who doubts that he
received the benefits stated can easily
veryify the assertion by calling on Mr.
Frazer or seeing him some time while he
is on the car.
Dr. Williams' Pink Tills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
nchfs to the blood and restore shat
tered "nerves. They are sold in boxes
(never in loose form, by the dozen or
hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes
for $2.50, and may be had of all drug
gists or directly by mail from Dr. Wil

Mercur, Utah's New El Dorado. Won
derful Development of the Camp
F oyd Mining District.
The Camp Floyd Mining District ol Utah, dis
tant but 4l miles fjom Bait Lake City, is now
attracting the attention of the mining world as
the only western rival ol Cripple Creek, Colo.
The district has had a most remarkable history.
The town of l.ewiston rose, flourished, and passed
into decay twenty-five years ago, on the very
spot on which Mercur has been built within the
lust eighteen months. It was renowned as a sil
ver camp in ';i by the development of the Sparrow-hawk
and Last Chance mines, which pro
duced over S 1,000,000 in the white metal. At thai
time there were 1,009 people In Lewlsron, and tin
district was very lively, but the rich pockets
having worked out, Lewiston's fame began to
wane. The next big strike In the district, one
that is yet talked of by old-timers, was the Car
rie Steele, from a pocket in which some parties
scraped out S S3.000 in about three months time.
This caused great excitement, so much so that
In 72 and '73 the hill was swarming with pros
pectors. Then the camp again declined until '7
and 'SO, when it was abandoned. In 1890 atten
tion was called to the McArthur Forrest cyanide
process, and a test of the ore was made In Den
ver with such elaborate results that the old Sparrow-hawk
or Marion mine was brought out of a
$40,000 or 150,000 indebtedness and put on a divi
dend paying basis. The formation at Mercur Is
very similar to the region about Johannesburg
in South Alrlca, except thst the Camp Floyd ore
bodies are larger and richer Geologists and
mineralogists differ as to the origin and forma
tion of tbe ore body, some claiming three dis
tinct gold-bearing veins while Others seem to
favor the single blanket vein theory, On one
point, however, all agree, that no such gold de
posit has ever before ben discovered. In the
Mercur mine, recently bonded for $1,500,000, the
ore bodies average $15.00 in gold to tbe ton,
while some assays ran into the hundreds mark.
With the aid of the cyanide process this ore is
mined and milled at an average cost of $2 SO to
$,1.00 per ton, leaving a profit of $12.00 te $12,60
per ton. On this basis the mine has. in the year
Just passed, paid dividends to the extent of $300,
000. The adjoining properties, the Golden Gate,
Marlon and tieyser are equally as rich. The vein
or veins have already been traced from the clus
ter of mines at Mercur, to Sunshine, a distance
of six miles, where the Sunshine mine and mill,
another large property. Is located, together with
numerous claims of less magnitude. In the Mer
cur mine alone 200,000 tons of ore are now
blocked ont, with an average value of $14.00 per
ton, making a total value of 2,SOO,000; tbe Gol
den Gate is able to show 100,000 tons of higher
value than the Mercur, while tbe Sunshine has in
sight more ore than either of the above, but of
lower value. It the discoveries recently made
twelve miles west of Mercnr and far to tbe south
are uncovering of tbe same vein, then there is
strong evidence that the great deposit covers an
area of from 100 to 160 square miles. It Is hardly
supposable that all portions of the vein will yield
profitable values, although that is the belief of
many, but It is quite wltnin tne range pi possi
bilities, as no barren spot has yet been touched,
Keeping in mind the fact that any ore exceeding
$3.00 in value per tan, can be mined and mined
at a handsome profit, there can be no qnestion
but that the Camp Floyd district wit yet be one
of the largest gold-producing camps In the worm.
Owing to the mildness of the climate, prospect
ing can be conducted at all seasons of tbe year,
and at the present writing vigorous work is be
ing done at many points iu tbe district. The re
sult of this work will show itself during the com
ing year in the opening of the ore bodies In var
ious localities throughout the district, and num
bers of claims that are now mere prospects will
undoubtedly become paying mines in the near
future. Nowhere at tbe present time ran there
be found a field for speculation which will exceed
that of the Camp Floyd district.
Mercur or the Camp Floyd Mining district Is
best reached via the Klo Grand Western Hallway
to Salt Lake City. For further particulars or
for printed matter apply to F. A. WADLKIUH,
