Scientific Sport with Kittens.

At a recent meeting of the New York Academy of Sciences, Mr. Thorndike, of Columbia University, described his experiments on comparative psychology, In which kittens, dogs, chickens and monkeys played a part. One object was to ascertain in what manner and how rapidly animals learned tricks. A box was provided with a door that could be opened from the Inside by means of a latch, or by pulliug a cord, or turning a button. Kittens were placed inside the box, and a toothsome fish outside. The time taken to get out became gradually shorter, but Mr. Thorndike said the trick was always learned by accident. One lucky hit would prepare the way for another. He could see no trace of rational inference on the animal's part. It was not possible to teach the trick by taking the kitten's paw and pushing the latcli, and seeing another animal do the trick a hundred times was no help to the one that had not already learned it.

ARMY MOVES SOUTH.

UNITED STATES REGULARS ADVANCE TOWARD CUBA. Federal Troops from Every Post in the United States Concentrated at Chick■manga Battle-field, Tennessee, New Orleans, Mobile and Tampa. Action by War Department. General orders were issued from the War Department late Friday afternoon directing the immediate movement of nearly the whole standing army to the Department of the Gulf. The orders applied to every regiment of regulars in the eountry, except the Fourth, Fifth, Seventh and Eighth Cavalry, and the Fourteenth infantry stationed in Alaska, and such heavy artillery as are on duty at the several fortifications of the seaboard. Since the civil' war no such proportion of the army has been mobilized, and the movement itself was the best evidence of the gravity of the situation, as looked upon by the president and his advisers. The determination to rendezvous the troops iu the South, where they can be acclimated to the conditions of a more tropical climate, and he within striking distance of Cuba, has been under consideration by the President and his cabinet for some time. It was until Friday, however, that the President, in view of the enorYnous expense witch would be entailed, felt justified in taking this step. When Secretary Alger returned from the cabinet meeting he at once called into conference Gen. Miles and Adjt.-Gen. Corbin, and acquainted them with the result of the cabinet’s deliverations. There were hurried consultations, in which the quartermaster general, who has charge of the transportation of the troops; the commissary general, who looks after their subsistence, and representatives in Washington of various railroads running to the South participated. The orders as finally given directed the movements of troops to the places indicated as follows: To Chickninauga battlefield: The Ist, 2d, 3d, Oth. oth and 10th regiments of cavalry and the light batteries of five regiments of artillery. To New Orleans: The Ist, 7th, Bth, 12th, 10th, 18th, 23d and 24th regiments of infantry. To Mobile: The 2d, 3d, 10th, 11th, 19th, 20th and 22d regiments of infantry. _To Tampa: The 4th, sth, Oth, 9th, 13th, 17th and 21st regiments of infantry. The department has so distributed the twenty-two regiments of infantry at convenient places on the gulf that they will be accessible for* transportation to Cuba. At Chiekainauga there will he six regiments of cnvalry and the light batteries of five regiments of artillery, at New Orleans eight regiments of infantry, at Tampa seven regiments of infantry and at Mobile seven regiments of infantry.

TO RAISE FUNDS.

Committee Agrees Upon a Plan for War Revenue. Tbe Ways and Means Committee agreed upon a plan for raising revenue in case of need, to carry on war with Spain. The plan will raise more than $100,000,000 additional revenue annually, and is thus distributed: An additional tax on beer of $1 a barrel, estimated to yiejd $35,000,000: a bank stamp tax, on the lines of the law of ISGG, estimated to yield $30,000,000; a duty of 3 cents a pound on coffee and 10 cents a pound on tea, and a like amount of internal tax on stocks of coffee and tea on hand in the United States, estimated to yield $28,000,000; additional tax on tobacco. expected to yield $15,000,000. The committee also agreed to authorize the issuing of $500,000,000 bonds. These bonds are to be offered for sale at all postoffices in the Lraited States in amounts of SSO each, making a great popular loan to be absorbed by the people. To tide over emergencies, the Secretary of the Treasury will be authorized to issue treasury certificates. These certificates or debentures are to be used to pay running expenses when the revenues do not meet the expenditures. These preparations are distinctly war measures and would be put in operation only should war occur.

FORTY-EIGHT VESSELS BOUGHT

Government Has Expended Nearly $0,000,000 In This Direction. Since the war preparations were begun, forty-eight vessels of ali types and classes have been added to the naval strength. They range from tiny harbor defense tor-pedo-boats to the fast cruisers New Orleans and Albany, and include steam yachts, ocean-going tugs, colliers, an ambulance ship, auxiliary cruisers, the ves sels of the revenue-cutter service, and thi lighthouse tenders, which have lately been impressed. Of the total number of vessels now subject to the orders of the Navy Department, about thirty have been purchased outright by the government, either at home or in Europe, and only about one-fifth of tltem are yet in condition for service with the regular war vessels. The amount paid for these vessels has not been nnnouneed, but approximately it is understood that the newly purchased vessels have cost the navy so far nearly $9,000,000, of which one-third was paid for the ships bought abroad.

War Order Issued by Long.

Secretory Long Thursday morning issued the first war order, which was to the effect that the bureau of navigation, until further orders, should give out no information touching the movements of vessels, etc. A circular letter waa sent to all the clerks in the department forbidding them to talk to outsiders or give any information to newspaper men.

THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.

From tfie Republican, Scranton, Penn. The cause of dyspepsia is'lack of vitality; the absence of nerve force: the loss ofthelife-sustainiiigeiementsof the blood. No organ can properly perform its function when the BOtirce of nutriment fails. When the stomach is robbed of the nourishment demanded by nature, assimilation ceases, unnatural gases are generated; the entire system respssde to the discord. A practical illustration Is furnished by the case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory street, Scranton, Pa. In telling his story, Mr. Vandyke says: “Five years ago I was afflicted with •

trouble of the stomach, which was very aggravating. I had no appetite, could not enjoy myself at any time, and especially was the trouble severe when I awoke in the morning. I did not know what the ailment was, but it beca m e steadily worse and I was in constant misery. “I called in my family physician, and he diagnosed the case ns catarrh of the stomach.

He prescribed for me and I had his prescription filled. I took nearly all of the medicine, but still the trouble became worse, and 1 felt that my condition was hopeless. I tried several remedies, but without benefit. After 1 had been suffering several months, Thomas Campbell, of this city, urged me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. “I finally decided to buy a box and began to use the pills according to directions. Before I had taken the second box I began to feel relieved, and after taking a few more boxes considered myself restored to health. The pills gave me new life, strength, ambition and happiness.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure dyspepsia by restoring to the blood, the requisite constituents of life, by renewing the nerve force and enabling the stomach to promptly and properly assimilate the food. These pills are a specific for all diseases having their origination in impoverished blood or disordered nerves. They contain every element requisite to general nutrition, to restore strength and good health to the ailing.

PRINCE OF WALES,

Who Begs for a Living and Doe 9 It Smoothly. The Prince of Wales Is back at bis old haunts around 23d street. His royal appellation does not Indicate his station in life, for he Is a professional beggar, but bis nationality, for be Is extremely English. The title was bestowed upon him by his fellows in panhandle craft, of which he Is an eminent exponent His method is to approach a passerby, preferably one in evening dress, and say: “Beg y’ pardon, but I say, sir, could you tell me of an English organization In this city?” If the other refers him to the St. Geofge Society, he says: “Ah, but they don’t meet until next month,” giving the exact date. In case he is referred to the British Consul, he says he has been there, but could not see the Consul; then launches out a story of his misfortunes. It’s the usual thing. Son of a w'enltliy Manchester manufacturer: come here to see life and buy a stock farm; remittances failed to come; very hard up and no friends in town; would be glad of any pecuniary assistance, however trifling. Often he concludes by 6aying insinuatingly: 0 “You’re an English gentleman yourself, aren’t you, sir?” This Is his trump card, and with youthful citizens Is sometimes very successfully remunerative. The Prince of Wales is short, plump, neatly dressed, suave and mild of manner and rather nervous and jerky of speech. It is more than a year since his last previous campaign in this city.—New York Sun.

Doctors could do nothing for me, and they' could not cure me at the hospital. I will tell you about it. I had been in mv usual health, but had worked quite hard. When my monthly period came on I flowed very badly. The doctor gave me medicine, but it did inc no good. He said the flow must be stopped if possible, and he must find the cause of ray trouble. Upon examination he found there was a fibroid tnmor in ray womb, and gave me treatment without any benefit whatever. About that time a lady called on me and recommended Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; said she owed her life to it. I said I would try it, and did. Soon after the flow became more natural and regular. I still continued taking the Compound for some time. Then the doctor made an examination again, and found everything all right. The tumor had passed away, and that dull ache was gone.” This is hard work, most people think.
