Do Animals Think?

The anestion whether animals have yeaning of the term “soul* has never b ' ® Z upon Animal Intelligence to confirm it Stfll, the differences in animal intelligence are very m&ked, And higher traits orop out in the least-expected Quarters. Mr. Romanes tells, for instance, of a python who had been tamed by a lady and made a pet of. The snake would twine about her neck in the gentlest manner, although . nothing would have been easier for/the powerful serpent than to have crushed her like an egg-shell. Infusoria have intelligence enough to avoid collisions. Rqtifera will seize each other with their tail forceps, and fights take place which seem to interest them as much as dog; fights do some of the higher vertebrates. fTwo snails lived in a garden, where their favorite food was very scarce. The larger went off on a tour of observation. Finding in the next garden a pupply of the food he sought, he returned like a little gentleman, and induced his companion to go with him. Here were .thought and kindness illustrated ; nor can these qualities be eliminated from the case except by the violent and wholly unwarranted supposition that when he arrived in the good garden he discovered that he had left his jack-knife or something with his companion and went back after it; observing his sleepy conditions* 1 !or snails travel slowly, his companion appreciated the point and . *°PjMNgi§||§ even here there is mind 'WtxmHHm

Of the higher animals thb most intelligent are dogs, elephants and mon- J keys. The monkey has th# scientific spirit. He takes notikiiMMfei 1 trust, but samples, investigates andd Btndies over difficult questions for (Bys! together, going without food and hfe domestic associations meanwhjje, When jhe has finally got it he is as hajppy as if fie knew how to say “Eureka.” Elephants are quick to learn, and seem to take pleasure in perfecting themselves in the tricks that showmen teach them. They have a great deal of imagination, also, as is shown by the avidity with which they swallow so small an objeot as a peanut under the impression that they taste something, which, it is evident, must be impossible. For what is a peanut in such an immense animal ? The pig, that pattern of business concentration, is a much more intelligent animal than he is commonly reputed. His weakness is his lack of moral qualities and his disposition to “squeal” upon his companions in mischief. Animals like a joke, too. Mr. Romanes tells of a lady who awoke her pet collie dog by shouting in his ear. Some time afterward the dog eame in one day and discovered his mistress asleep in her chair. Carefully climbing up with his paws on the arm of theebair, he put his nose by her ear and awoke her with a single loud bark and capered off in a broad' grin. The real question is, not whether animals think, but whether men do, and whether they also possess the higher moral qualities. Such, at least, might well be the subject of study in the next world by the surgeon’s dog, who died under vivesfection while licking his master’s hand. If the poor animal did think, what must have been his thoughts ? Chicago Herald. Jy

Apoplexy.

Apoplexy is primarily due to “ degenerations” in the walls of the arteries of the brain. These allow them to be ruptured by the blood pressure which the beating of the heart always causes, but especially when the heart is unusually excited. The blood may trickle out from numerous pin-head enlargements of the capillaries, or bn poured from large ruptures. Generally a post-mortem shows roundish clots, averaging the size of a marble, in the centers of which are the minute openings of the raptured arteries. The most common seat of the hemorrhage is in the vicinity of the “ basal ganglia ’’—great nerve centers specially related to motion and sensation. The clot may be (1) absorbed, (2) become surrounded with a sac (cyst), gradually undergo fatty degeneration, and be absorbed in about two years; (8) may inflame the adjacent brain substance, and give rise to the softenings of the latter; (4) may cause degeneration es the nerves and give rise to atrophy, or .decay of the brain, resulting incomplete imbecility. In the first and second cases recovery may take place. jf w The tendency to senile apoplexy begins after about 40, and increases with the advance of age. The predisposing causes may be degeneration of the cerebral arteries, enlargement of the heart and softening of the brain. The tendency to degeneration of the arteries, and thus to apoplexy, may be hereditary. Men are more liable to it than women. Cold weather disposes to it. An attack may be brought on by whatever stimulates the heart—excitement, running, over-exertion, improper food, alcoholic liquors, or by a eold bath which forces the blood in froni the surface. ....... The attack may come on either with or without premonitory symptoms. Some of the latter are loss of memory, difficulty of speech, stupor, a feeling of weight, numbness or prickling. It may be so slight as to be only a momentary unconsciousness. The older and more feeble the patient, the greater the danger. Even if he recovers, there is some loss of mental power. In the treatment, all causes of excitement most be guarded against; the diet be nourishing, easy of digestion and moderate, and the general health be specially cared for.— Youth’s Companion.

What Constitutes the True Orator.

I shall never fofget my first trip away from home, remarked the late Alexander H. Stephens once, nor the impressions it made on me. I was quite a young man, and some business fell into my hands that carried me North. I had never been as far as Washington before, and of course I wanted to see what was there to be seen. I went into the Senate gallery and took my seat. I could easily pick out the prominent men by the pictures I had seen of them. Pretty soon a question came np, and the President of the Senate announced that Mr. Webster was entitled to the floor. Of course I was very much gratified that I was to hear him. He arose and began speaking in an ordinary conversational way. I think he took his snuff occasionally. He never made a gesture from the time he opened until he closed. I thought it all sound doctrine, but I was convinced that I knew a dozen college boys who could have beaten him speaking. The next morning I picked up a paper. There was his speech headed: “Mr. Webster’s Great Speech-on the Finances.” Pshaw, I thought, they don’t call that a great speech, do they ? I saw another paper. There it was again, headed Mr. Webster’s great speech on the finances. I went to Baltimore. There they had Mr. Webster’s great Speech on the finances. I reached Philadelphia arid ’everybody was talking about Mr. Webster’s great speech on the finances. I got to New York. There everything was -in a ferment over Mr. Webster’s great-speech on the finances. It was the same way in Boston. So I concluded that itmust indeed be a great ppeech. 14 put me to thinking, and I made up my mind that it was. not the way a man said anything, bufcwbat he said made him an orator. Evebywhebe endeavor to be useful, and everywhere you will be at home.

Hypochondrines.

i nhvsici&nin this country, who mtdi several years ago a system oi treatment which he called the Best Chore, for patients whose nervous systems tr«re exhaosted from overwork or other causes The sufferer was taken from, home and Separated wholly from her friends, which at onoe did away both with old associations and with coddling. ' She was put to bed in a sunny, cheerful chamber, in the oare of a skillful nurse, and forbidden to move hand or foot. She -mm fed and tended like an infant; well fed, too, the meals being nourishing and frequent. Instead of exercise, she was manipulated once or twice a day. Patients who were real sufferers rose from this treatment strong, fat and rosy. But unfortunately there are nervous patients who are shams to whom such a regimen would be intolerable. Dr. Dash was sent for once ip haste to a wealthy woman in Newl%k, supposed to bodying, though no physician could discover her ailment. She had not tasted food for days. Her 1 were incessant, her features Mid pitched as fa articulo mortis. Hct friends, exhausted by months of nursing, Q|ood witting to see her depart. The doctor made a close examination of tile 0099. She recognized him and her eyes gathered intelligence. 'Tm dying, doctor,” she moaned. “Nothing of the kind,” shortly. “What ails me?” ‘ she said, after a louder shriek. He looked jber steadily in theeye. “A husband who has too much money, ” he answered, briefly. Then, turning to the attfendanta, He said, “Ttjke her up, dress her, and bring her some beefsteak and hr&d and butter.” . Tjtm treatment was- brutally blqnt, fs, but it cured the patient. She however, forgave thp physician. Another case was that of a leader of ’fashion in a Southern city, whb oanfe with her suite of husband, maids, lapdog, etc., tp him to be oured, declaring herself “a perfect wreck.” For a oouple of days he watched her through her usual routine: lolling on a couch through the day—groaning, shuddering, helpless —thep up at night brilliantly dressed for ball or opera. As th© result of his watching h e ordered her into the hospital, and put her through the Usual regimen of bed, absolute inaction, solitude and manipulation. On the day she jessed herself stole out of the house and■ to the station, and literally ran away, nev% hkltjng until she was at New priegns, from which city shf telegraphed for heir husband and /or her Clowes. Neryops diseases are alanpyigly rife m this country. But a nervousness born of idleness, or of fashionable dissipation, or of morbid sensibility, which makes victims npt only 6f the patient but of fyer family. Many a household is enslaved by these irritable invalids, who do not realize the Cause of thChr nervousness, and who pnly need fresh air, hard, daily work apd regular ' hours of sleep at night to curfi them of their fancied ills.

George III Makes His Own Bishop.

When Archbishop Moore died, Manners Sutton was Bishop of Norwich, and also Dean of Windsor. He was at that moment residing at his deanery, and was entertaining a party of friends at dinner. In the middle of dinner the butler came up to him with an excited face. “Beg pardon, my Lord, a gentleman .wishes to see your Lordship directly, but he won’t give his name.” “Nonsense,” said the Bishop; “I can't come now, of course.” “The gentleman says it is very important—very important, indeed, my Xiord, or he wouldn’t disturb you.” "Well,” said the Bishop, somewhat crossly, “ask him to wait a few minutes till I have finished my dinner.” “Beg pardon, my Lord,” said the butler, persistently, and "with some confidence, “but you had better see the gentleman directly.” The Bishop, amazed at Ins man’s coolness, made an apology to his guests and went into the next room, where he was still mofe amazed to find King George HI., who, as usual, was breathless and rripid. “How d’ye do, my Lord? how d’ye do? eh—-eh? Just came to tell you Archbishop of Canterbury is dead—died this morning—want you to be new Archbishop—you know, new Archbishop. What d’ye say—reh— eh?” The Bishop stood dumbfounded, and the King broke in again, “Well, dy’e accept—d’ye accept—eh, eh?” The Bishop had by this time recovered himself sufficiently to bow gratefully and murmur his thankful acceptance. “All right,” said his Majesty; “go baok, got a party, I know; very glad you aocept. Good-night, good-night, goodnight.” And with that he bustled away. The fact, was that he anticipated exactly what happened. Mr. Pitt came down to his Majesty next morning to inform him that the Archbishop was dead, and to recommend to his Majesty Bishop Pretyman (Tomline) for the vacant primacy. The King, who had rather too much of Bishop Pretyman at Mr. Pitt’s hands, resolved to be first in the field, and was now able to tell his Prime Minister that he had already appointed the Bishop of Norwich.—Macmillan's Magazine.
