Are AnlniiiN Musical. Decidedly they an1 , answers Frederick Whymper , who contributes an interesting paper on the question in tbo Animal's Guar dian. dian.The keeper of n monageri. * was once asked whether the band had any effect on the ani mals. . To bo sure it does , said he ; they like it , and therefore It does them good. It you were to come in and look at them In a morning when the band Is always perambulating the town , you would see many of them , the moro savngu beasts in particular , dull and moping , and either sitting or lying in their dens. Wo wUo travel with wild beasts cannot.of course , glvu them the room thuy ought to have , and belli ) ; cribbed up in show boxes they degen erate for want of exercise , do what wo will with them. But it would be very much worse. I reckon , If It were not for the music. When they hear the band strike up they reuse themselves and beglng taking what exercise they can , the beasti of prey by walking back wards and forwards , and the others by re peating the movements natural to them when at liberty ; the birds will begin to chaffer and plume themsulvcs at thu sound , and even the snakes at times will uncoil and roar up , and convince the people who some times seem to doubt the fact that , they are living creatures. Doirs , as is well known , are often taught to dance to violin , plpo or drum , and even to grind barrel-organs. In the latter case they very properly look extremely serious. But u judicious dog llnds Iho harmonium even moro trying. . . A writer records the case of a dog a cross between a Scotch and a okye terrier who would come close to a harmonium and evi dently enjoy the music lip to a certain point. But when u shrill note came from that In strument of torture , he would point his nose in the air at an anglo of about forty degrees , and , stiffening his body in a straight line from thu nostrils to the tall , emit the same note , In n manner which indicated his dis pleasure , and sustained it as long as did the performer. That artist generally , in fact , gave wav tirst. AnnUior dog did excellent service , It seems , in this fashion : A friend of the writer's whoso vocal efforts were not calculated to inspire an.v special respect for either his abilities or education , had an old dog , quiet , scdato and sleepy , which could bo roused to something approaching preaching fury when his master's perform ance commenced In Its presence. The ex pression "commenced'1 Is used advisedly , for tl e songs weronuver finished , anil , Indeed , rarely , got beyond the bar raised against thu bars of the executant by the dismal howling of that intelligent quadruped. For "ex ecutant" read "murderer. " The family had an inte.nso regard for that dog. Cats , wo are told , have little natural liking for music , but tuo taste can be acquired : A certain pot cat , though as a kitten Indif ferent to music , grow to like it , and regularly led the way to the piano when tea was over. Here she took post on a chair , nnd listened gravely during the whole performance. When it ceased she would go to sleep , though not if the Instrument was left open , in which case puss Instantly leaped on the keys and pawed a performance of her own , in which she showed an extreme partiality for tbo treble notes , and something like alarm at the lower bass ones , when she happened to give them an extra vigorous kick. Mice , on the contrary , uro "Intensely fond of music. ' ' So , of course , are cows , as the literature of the lianz dos Vachos is enough to remind us. But the Knglisn cow Is espe cially fond , it seems , of the guitar. On the boating trip of seven or eight ama teur musicians , ono ol them specially noticed a specially musical cow. This creature , a small , crcam-colorod Aldernoy , suckled her calf , along with a doicu other vaccine moth ers , in a meadow which sloped down to the river's brink. "sVhonover , " says the histor ian of this trip , "wo turned the bend of the river , with our voices in tune as our oars kept time , and the meadow came In sight , there wo wore sure to see the white cow , standing up to the shoulders in water , whither she had advanced to meet us , her neck stretched out. nnd her dripping nose turned toward the boat. As we skirted the meadow she kept pace with us on the bank , testifying her delight bv unties of which no cow In her senses would have been thought capable. She would leap , skip , roll on her hack , rear on her hind legs , then hurl them aloft in tbu air , like a kicking horse , now rushing into the water to look nt us nearer , now frisking off like n kitten at play. After these mad gambols she always returned to her calf , tirst saluting us with a long , plain tive kind of bellow , by way of farewell. " Verily , uu appreciative cow. i m Gu.s 10\oit iiitMit , The excitement caused b.v the recent dU- covery at Pleasanton. Col. , of natural gas docs not seem to diminish ono lota. Men have been retained to keep the well cleaned out , The gravel and clay cave In and prevents - vents the gas from escaping , A meter has been placed upon the pipe and a rough esti mate obtained us to tha quantity of gas es caping. In spite of the largo escape on the ouulue of the meter It registered 1,000 feet In an hour with the well operating poorly. ( Jos men from a neighboring town stated that the escape amounted to nothing leas than 5,000 feet in an hour. ' IT WAS THE FAVORITES'DAI ' , Nashville First Ohoicars Take the Races in Order.

There is only ono thing I hope about the business woman's dress , and that is that these who have designed the diabolical getup - up may wear it down Broadway and bring delight to the soul of the small boy. writes Bab in her Now York letter. Ho is the ono pei-son in tno world whom tlio business woman cannot scorn. She couldn't put him down to save her soul ! Ho rises like a rub ber ball with a new picco of slang and an impertinent speech that is as truthful ELS it is epigrammatic. Ho is the concentrated ex tract of suss. Kingdoms may rise and fall , but ho "gets theio" just the same. By his ridicule idiotic fashions have been downed , and bv his approbation and cheers policemen have been brought to defend the weak. Oc casionally ho errs in his enthusiasm , but not often ; and if he can only once get on to the business woman's dress Its doom will bo sealed. Personally , I like the small boy. Ho is nt once earnest and original , and he hus great respect for ability in any way. You may not altogether approve of his method of expressing it ; indeed , it may embarrass you , but it is sincere ; ho Is a connoisseur about woman's clothes and a gourmet as to hokey- POKOV ice cream. To'the number of about fifty ho greeted mo the other day. 1 stepped out of a nan- som , and , seeing that the lining of mv coat was red , ho raised his voice In this way : "Do yer catch on to 'er pain tin' ther Instdo of 'er coat red I" They caught on wl'.h a whoop , and the smallest one of thu tribe called out : "I n-makin' the blush. " It say , yer - lady was an embarrassing experienr'j , but an intorest- Ine one , and it showed exactly to what ex tent the small boy was capable of using his eyes. Decollete nnil tlie Nude. I do not , by any means , Indorse this last crusade acaln.it the nude In art. If a man with a sincere love for the beautiful observes a painting or the statue of a nude liguro there Is nothing suggestive in It to him. To a voluptuous man it does not matter whether the tlgure bo draped or not. It is absurd to say that the nude In art Is demoralizing. The object of art is to present real beauty or real ugliness. If an artist wants to show mo the ugliness of a Hottentot , 1 want to see the ugllnoss. If ho wants me to see the beauty of the Greek , I want to see the beauty in the oriental , observes Hov. Howard Mac- Query , who was recently convicted bv a church council of being an heretic. The question is asked : "Why should wo admire the nude In art unless we admire thu nndc of the model I" That is unfair. It is not the nude th.it Is admired , but rather the correct ness of the artist's work. Do 1 think the women of this generation are becoming Im- inodestl Most certainly not. The cry of the degeneracy of the times and of the "good old days" grows wearisome , nnd the person making the cry exposes his or her ignorance. History will bear out the statement that the women of Homo nnd of a century or two ngo were much lower in the grade of morality than the women of today. As for the scanti ness of attlro of the women in the drawing , dining and ball room , I'll admit It , it is not according to my tastes. At the same time I do pot feel like condemning it. It all dc- ionds ) on the woman herself , it strikes mo. If she Is a pure woman and has beautiful neck and arms , and wishes to wear a gown to exhibit these charms , lot her do so. The main object In dressing Is to dress becom ingly , I take It , A X .ni A curiosity was found in a hen's nest In Larauilo , according to the Republican. It was apparently two eggs , neither of which was covered with a bard shell , but which were bound together by a white cord about two inches long. They wore half the size of the average hen's egg and had evidently been originally designed to bo ono.

With many differences of opinion in detail , there is yet a pretty widespread opinion In favor of the practicability of using Indian troops nnd companies. This largely rests , no doubt on the experience had for years with companies of Indian scouts ; and the now plan makes a difference In degree rather than in kind of employment. Even as scouts , the red men were liable to bo called upon to make war not only on their own race , but their own kin.

Mr. Harper arrived in the afternoon from the west with the Pennsylvania tourists excursion , and was prevailed upon to stop off hero for forty-eight hours. 1'lils was why not more extended notice could bo given and the necessity of Mr. Harper leaving tor home tomorrow prevented a post ponement until Monday evening , liy dint of the liveliest hustllni ; and the free use of the telegraph , Mr. Robinson succeeded In sending out tils invitation" , and It was a goodly and representative gathering that assembled around that banquet board.

The guests assembled In tne parlors on the second lloor where they were introduced to Mr. Harper , and an hour passed quickly by in pli-ttsant social chat. At 0 o'clock Mr. Robinson requested his guests to prepare for a trip of exploration to the floor below , and it was an exceedingly Jovial and well selected party of discoverers that passed down the grand stairway to the dining hall. On either side of the entrance on the south sldo of the rotunda wcru banked tiers of ferns and lilies , the monotony of their rich foliage occasionally relieved by potted plants in full bloom. Tno tables were arranged to form three sides of a hollow square , nnd the guests wore seated with Mr. Harper and Toastmaster - master Thurston occupying the position at the center of the upper table. On the right of Mr. Harper were Messrs. Broatch , Benton Hitchcock and Morse , and on Mr. Thurston's left were Messrs. Bless , Webster , Rosewater and Hughes. Almost without exception the guests were policy holders in amounts ranging from $10,000 to fc)0,000 each , and the total Ne braska insurance represented In that ono company was over I , .

As the cracking of the matches followed the popping of the corks , Mr. ThurJtou in terjected a few admonitory raps to annouco the oratorical course that ivas to follow and said : "Gentlemen The natural modesty of Mr. Robinson has caused mo to act as his substi tute ut this banquet board , I understand from him that wo have been called together to meet the honored guest of the evening as policy holders of the Mutual Reserve , and to show him what a healthy and handsome lot of men we arc. The few of us who ure not policy holders are hero to get an idea that will induce them to take a policy in the best life insurance company in the L/'nited / States. Mr Robinson has been particularly anxious to have Mr. Harper hero In Omaha , and Air. Harper assures mo that Robinson has told such wondertul stories of Omaha in the cast that he is regarded as thu colossal liar of tlio west. Now ho has seen for himself , and hereafter either Robinson will bo believed or there will be two colossal lla instead of one. one."Wo meet hero tonight to make the ac quaintance of the man who stands at the head of the life insurance business of the Uuile.l States , ( Cries of hear , hear. ) No more honorable title could bo worn in this great era of civilization and progress. The insurance company looks after thu family of the man who dies. The bible and the Insur ance policy are the two things that make life pleasant , and give to thu future certainty and hope. I am myself a victim of thu in surance company of this one and many others. "I have paid more policies with less returns than any man of my acquaintance. 1 am not anxious , however , to realize on my Invest ment. Our policies contribute to the future of our own families , as well as the families of others. Next to life , the most solemn thing is death. The death-bed , the final partIng - Ing are U rrible to contemplate nnd dimcult to portray by words. In thu midst of sutler- Ing how much moro terrible is It for the widow and orphans to look out into the future without protection , with no resource to stand between them and poverty ami want I Thu endowment secured by the an nual payment if the premiums of the de parted insures the schooling of the children and for thu whole fain ly the comforts am even the luxuries of life. "Wo meet hero tonight to welcome to our midst the president of a life insurance com pany whoso outstanding policies represent f JOO,000XX ( ) of insurance nnd GO.OtX ) policy holders. In the tn years of its existence it has paid out over $10,000,000 in gold. This gentleman is known from ono end of thu country to the other. Ho is a typical Ameri can , u general eood fellow and a man above everything else. He stands nigh in Masonic circles and holds an oftlcu with millions o dollars at the command of a stroke of his pen Ho is the president of the Lotus clun , tno finest and most exclusive social organlzatioi of Now York. "Our guest , we welcome you to this city o ours. It was built by the energy and pluck of the best and brainiest lot of men you ovet saw. They are the sons of grandsons of the effete cast and they represent the tru cst typo of American , the bau typo ttu world has ever produced. I have reui It is most dangerous for policy holders to si under u long speech , and 1 shall stop hero and see that the other speaker * are noli down to reasonable limit. " Just at tms Juncture , as tno toastmnstc was about to Introduce Mr. Harper , the clec trio light fainted almost dead away. One o the largo feud wires In the basouient list burned off , and pending repairs Mr. Tliurs ton said ho would call for a gentleman wh appeared Just as well in the dark as In the light , ex-Mayor Broatch , to respond to tlio toast , "Omaha , " In the absence of Mayor ; Curbing , who was unexpectedly kept away. ' Mr. Broatch said that of thu whole party of Penn ylvnnloxcurslonlsti : , Mr Harper was the only ono who had soon lit to stop and look over thu ground. In eousoouenco ho vould hardly credit such growth and development as ho saw and so ; rent a gain ot pcrcoutnKo In population In en yean. For the bcnctlt of the gentleman 10 would say that u hen ho came hereIn MM , there was a re.stdeut population of 4,000 > v o,000 , and ten estimated population Inclml- ng transients of T.ooo or b.iHW. Ten years go there were ao.OOO and today there are 40,000. This U certainly an astounding growth. It showed that a vast number of people iad followed tno advice of Horace Greely to ' hard time . " As 'go west and prepare for * an Individual coming here , ho hud pinned ils faith on this city and stnto.and had never ind occasion to eliange It. Ho had never oven had n dcslro to go back to his own tate , Connecticut , He hud been insured In ither companies before the one of which Air. larper was president was organized , and ho ind stated that tie would never go Into an other one. Ho had become convinced that It was to its Interest to go Into this ouo , however , as t offered as great security ns anything luman could afford. "The agent who repro- cnts this company hero is ono with whom on are nil acquainted. As we say In the vest , 'ho has It back of his curs. ' HiIs of in nsgroslve nature , and if n comctng | : agent should claim ilO.OOo policy holders In ho way of Inducement ho would go him 0,000 bolter. Acting for the mayor of Omaha , 1 will conclude b.v saying that it rives me pleasure to welcome all people hero l'bs ! Is not n dlsintori'.stcd U'oilng wholly , as wo hope some lime to see them come here md become a part ol us. Wo have a build- ng up hero on the hill that shows what n Ifo Insurance company can do , and I hope to eon see the Mutual reserve represented lore the same way. Wo will guarantee to ill it and inuno it prolkable Investment for ho gentlemen behind It. " Mr. Harper followed Mr. Broatch and a'.d : Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Bless , In responding spending , said that when accepting the In vitation to the banquet ho had no idea that he would bo called upon to speak. Mr. Bless spoke of thu great amount of education the war of thirty years auo gave to the young men of the country , and stated that fully U.OOO.OOO young men who were taken nwiiy from their homos , the workshops and from business llfo were educated by their service in the army and benefited by the discipline enforced. These men were taken from their homes and placed under military discipline , and were taught seU-reliancu and self-dependence. This in struction had been bunellclal in after life. Their travels over many states h-id acquaint ed them with life in different localities which alone Is an education to u man. To the daily press I may safely say wo are indebted for the fact that -100 years of progress was crowded into the four years of the war , as far as edu cational matters were concerned , and the press should receive tbe credit for their good work.

Mr. Uosowuter said : " 1 appreciate the compliment , gentlemen , but 1 nlso remember what was said awhile ago by a preceding speaker about tar rying after the table. The previous speaker hud said that tarryingjafter the table endangers llfu , and breing about the most ex tensively Insured man In Omaha I must look out for my own honlth as well ns these who listen to my speaking. The fuel Is the press has been u'lurgo factor In making llfo insur ance as popular as it is today. The press , since the war period , has taught the pcoplo to insure in propnratinn ( or the rainy day. "As I bcliovo In llfo Insurance , I advocate evcrybony to take as much insurance as they can afford to carry. "Tho Impression President Harper has of Omaha I hope ho will carry away with him , and be able to represent Omaha as aha is , and not as the largest city in the west , butns the largest city between Chicago and San Francisco. " In a few humorous remarks .ludtre Thurs ton next Introduced Mr. O. M. Hitchcock.
