Henry James, in an article in Scribner's Maga- zine on “Instinct,” shows that he has given close study to this faculty in its various forms as it ap- pears in man and beast. After defining the word for the purposes of his discussion and showing ‘that the faculty 1s present in all living beings, he arrives at a conclusion different from the older writers on the subject, who smothered everything tm a vague wonder at the clairvoyant and pro- phetic power of the animals, so superior to any- thing tn man, and at the beneficence of God in endowing them With such a gift. He concludes that every instinct is an impulse, and that man hasa greater varfety of impuises than any lower imaal, and any one of these impulses 1s as “blind” as the lowest, Instinct can be; but owing to man’s memory, power of reflection "and power | of inference they Come each one to be felt. by him tn connection With & foresight of their results. It is obvious that every instinct In an animal with memory must be accompanied with foresight as Uo Its end just so far as that end may have fallen under the animal's cognizance. ‘Thus it is plain | that no matter how well endowed an animal may originally be in the matter of instincts his actions will be much modined 1f, in addition to impulses, he have memories, associations and inferences on any considerable scale. “Young animals,” says the writer, “Immediately after birth, have’ no instinct of fear, but show their dependence by allowing themselves to be freely handled. Later, however, they grow ‘wild,’ and, if left to “themselves, will ‘not let man ap- proich them. 1am told by farmers in the Adiron- dack wilderness that ii isa very serlous matter if a cow Wanders off and calves in the woods and is not found for a week ormore. The calf, by that } time, is as Wild and almost as fleet as a deer, and hard’ to capture without violence, But calves rely show any particular wildness to the men who have been in contact with them during the first days of their life, when the instinct to attach themselves 1s uppermost, nor do they dread strangers as they would if brought up wild? ‘This leads vo the law of transitoriness, which 1s this: That many instincts ripen at a certain age, and then fade away. A consequence of this law is that if, during the time of such an instinct’s Vivaclty, objects udequate lo arouse it are met with, a Habit of acting on them is formed, which remins when the original instinct has away; but that if no such objects are met with, then no habit will be formed; and, later on in life, when the animal meets the objects he will alto- gether fail to react, as at the earller epoch would instinctively have donc. No doubt suc a Jaw 43 restricted. Some instincts are far less transient than others—those connected with feed= ing and “selt-preservation” may hardly be trau- stent at al, and some, after.tading out for a time, recur as strong as ever, e. g., the instincts of pair= iff and rearing young. ‘The author cites as an ex- anipie of the habit of acting on instinet a Scotch terrier, born on the floor of a stable and trans- ferred’ x weeks later to a carpeted house. When he was four months old he would make a very elaborate pretence of burying things, such as gloves, &., which he had played with uatil he Was Gired. He scratched the carpet with his fore Teet, dropped the object from his ‘mouth upon the spot, and then scratched all about it (with both fore” and hind feet, if 1 remember rightly), and Bnally Went away and let it le.

More people live in it than in the whole of Holland, than in Sweden, than in Portugal, Ireland or Canada; a million more than in Scotland. London is not the only large English city.

There 1s no other reason why this style should be adopted. ‘The Star's advice this spring 4s to wear the collar that will give the swallow works the freest play. Again, when the prince and his suite went to India they were all provided with colored travel- ing shirts, with collars and cuffs attached. When they gotto the interior, where water was scarce and no washing could be done, they were asked to luneheon by Ramset Jee Iheé Ihee Bhoy. ‘There ‘Wasn't a clean sittrt in the party, but an American drummer who happened to be’in the neighbor- hood, had a ine of false collars and cuffs which be was selling to the natives. A supply was bought and attached to the colored shirts. Hence those atrocious red, pink and blue shirts with white collars and cufls which we see in all the Broadway, windows, The ‘svare advice this spring 1s to buy white shirts and play the change ib colors on the underciothing andsocks. ‘Our tailors tell us that Prince Aibert com- monly called frock coats, are no longer fashiona- ble. ‘This is simply because “Bertie” lias grown too stout to look Well in his namesake. For the American slim there is no more becoming and economical garment. It may be worn without & waistcoat, and with the addition of a dickey and a pair of cuffs it always presents a full dress ap- Pearance. A Prince Albert should hang in every man’s wardrobe, ‘Then as to trousers, We are told that they must be worn abouteighteen inches wide at the knee. Yes, very property by l, R.

But the leg 18 round, nov flat, and tite crease suggests the pressure of a reachi-me- down stock 01 ready-made clothes, Moreover, the crease was Invented by a man who had a creasing machine to sell. Our advice 1s to have.the legs surveyed for trousers, and not accept auy.arbi- trary standard of width, and to leave the crease to the operation of natural causes, Shoes, we heat, are to be more pointed than ever. o say tue corn doctors. ‘That is, a line 4s to We drawn across the bail of the foot” and an equilat- eral triangle described thercon for the accommo dation of the toes, But the men who wish to get there in business and love will do well to insist upon a itttle more room—not necessarily a square, Dut at least parabolic curve, following some- what the outline of the toot. A great variety of tles are shown, with a decided preference given to shades of scarlet, yellow and green, Black, white and blue are our stand-bys, which can be worn without giving aman the ap- pearance of having cut his throat or spilled a plate f pea soup on his shirt, bosom, Hat brims are much narrower this spring, but the round-faced man had better have hishead-gear made to order if he does not want to look like a chuckle-head and get bis nose sunburned the first ot day. And so with all the fascinating paraphernalia of personal adornment we find the eifort belng made to introduce novelties and make men hideous. And the Tittiebat ‘itmouses will strain every nerve and the Midas Gorgeouses will bleed freely to dress according to fashions that are founded on fiction and invented for trad Queer Courting. ‘HOW DR. LYMAN BEECHER PERSUADED MRS. JACK- SON TO BECOME HIS WIFR, From the Cleveland, O., Plain-Dealer. “gaints, staners and the Beecher family,” tms been printed as the remark of the late venerable Dr. Todd, of Pittsfield, Mass. Possibly the follow- ing anecdote of the father, which I had from hig eldest son, the Rev. William H. Beecher, may illustrate the peculiarities of his family: ‘The old gentleman had lost his sec- ond or third wife, and was resolved to marry again, Hence at a family gathering in Cincinnati he sal: “My children, hitherto I have married al- together to sult myself, but now I intend to marry again and am willing to marry to suit you if you can think of any suitable and proper person who will have me.” Thechildren put their heads to- gether and concluded tnat a certain Mrs. Jackson, Who kept a large boarding-house in Boston, and Was a member of Edward's church, would inake him a capital wife, and it was afranged for the Rev. Edward to negotiate with Mrs. Jack- son. After waiting a week or so the old (ae became impatient and started for oston, driving to Mrs. Juckson’s house, calling for her, and unfolding at once the object of bis mission. The good lady was thunderstruck, pro- tested that she had no idea of marrying, and couldn't think of such a thing—it was impossibie, To aliof which the old doctor replied that he was equally surprised. ‘The arrangement had been made In Clncinnat), Edward was to prepare the way, and he had made bis arrange ments iO preach in Andover and Amherst and to attend the May anniversaries, and expected, of course, to take her with him as his wife, At this point the lady expressed herself as shocked that award had never spoken to heron the subject; nor would tt have made any differance it he had, for, as to marrying again, she could not. and would not—not even the venerable and ceiebrated Dr. Lyman Beecher! Aiter a moment's pause the doctor sald: “My dear Mrs. Jackson, Iam sorry you have so much feel- ing about it; but Iwill stay a day or two, and ‘we Wiil talk this matter up,’ ‘To which the lady responded. that house was full, she had no suitable room fur him and could not enter- tain him. “Oh, never mind, then,” said the doctor will go round to Edward’s, and come and take tea with you.” And, sure enough, at tea time he was there, and sat next to Mrs. Jackson at the table, It was one of those lal boarding houses on Beacon street at which the lady of the house presided as a sort of matron, and to the tea table of which the boarders kept coming and going tor two or three hours, Ofcourse, the old doctor became impatient, and kept whisperin; to Mrs. Jackson: “I want to see you alone!” “ must see you!” “Can't you see me alone!” At length Mrs, Jackson left the table with him, and they Went to a room by themselves. What then occurred God oniy Knows, but the family story is that the goed lady protested, expressed her amaze- ment, and even sald: “You must becrazy; the sub- Jeet. 1s too serfous and solemn to be thought of without prayer toGod.” “tlave you not prayed about it!” sald the doctor, “Prayed about it! Nov" sald Ars. Jackson: “ave not thought of so” a thing.” uae us pray,” was the solemn response us Beecher, and they kneit down and prayed. Ufcourse the Alulighty was argued with; what a good wife Mrs. Jackson Would make hhn;’ what a biessiag it would be to her; how much good she wouid doin the holy cause; what a disappointment 1f she did not marry him. Then observing her to be in a melting mood, he reached out nis hand, took hold of hers, and said, “amen.” Yes, and atnen it was, ‘The grand boarding-house was broken up, to the surprise of all Boston, and Mrs. Jackson be came Mrs. Lyinan Beecher, making him a “capital wife” indeed. +e. How to Preserve the Lait; _ Dr. J. Leslie Foley, in the New York Medical Journal.. A good supply of oxygen 1s necessary: tor the healthy growth of hair; the head should be ell aired. ‘The hat has made sad havoc with many & caput. Endeavor to go bareheaded as often as possible, When walking, lift the hat from off the head frequently, and, if the sun 1s not too strong, oid the hat in your ‘hand awhile, ‘The bluecoat Schoolboys forinerly of Christ church, London, who wear the costume of Edward VI, go bare. headed the year round. ‘They wear no hats in the coldest days of winter, ‘They are remarkably healthy, and have a redundant crop of hair, which lasts them a lifetime, If we must wear a hat let it be light in texture and well ventilated from the top. One reason that women keep thelr hair ionger than men is that their head-gear allowsof better ventilation. Busi- ness men sometimes wear thelr hats in their office, or have a special hat which they put on. ‘Thisis very injurious. The brokers of Wall street are noted for wearing their hats indoors as well as out- doors. They are notorious for having bald heads, ‘This may account for it. When the head is well shorn of its locks this does not apply, oo Better than Trout, From the Dakota Bell. “What kind of fish are you catching?” we asked asmall boy who Was fishing in Covell’s Lake west of Sioux Falls, “Bullheads,” he replied. “Get many?” “Loads of ‘em—an’ there's ‘nother, Hi, Jimmy, see im—he’s a big un!” and he pulled out a nsh about six inches Jong. “Are Dullheads pretty good to eat?” «You bet they are, mister—they're fine.” “Did you ever try any speckled trout?” ' “Naw!
