From the Boston Trarscript. “Yes, we have a great many Interesting experiences out,in the Puget Sound coun- try,” said the New England man lately r turned from the state of Washington. “I saw a big brown bear one day when I was six miles from the nearest camp. He was about fifty feet ahead of me on the trail, and I was to leeward of him, so I just went round him.” “Why didn’t you shoot him?” “Well, people that don’t know the forest always ask that, even after I told them I bad only three shots left in my revolver and no other gun along. I should have been in a mess if I had only wounded him, you see. When he scented me I was a long way off.” “Didn't he run after you?” “Oh, those brown bears are as much afraid of a man as a man fs of them. Why, I knew a fellow who was going across a stream on &@ fallen tree once.e The trunk of the big pine was about five feet up from the ground on his side of the stream, and three feet on the bear’s side. He was picking his steps and.didn’t look to the other side of the water, sixty feet or so. When he got fairly up onto the log there was the bear coming. They were both so dead scared they tumbled off into the water on different sides of the Jog.” “What happened next?” “Nothing. They both swam ashore on their own sides of the river, and put off through the forest. I don’t suppose there ever was @ man and a bear more surprised or worse scared.” - TWO KINDS OF BOYS Mistakes Which Mothers Make in the Discipline of Home. SOME MODERN DANGEROUS TENDENCIES A Question of Who Shall Rule— Parents_or Children. RESPECT FOR WOMEN ‘Written Exclusively for The Evening Star. AM VERY FOND of boys, which is a fortunate thing, for life wouldn’t be much of a picnio for a wo- man who had much to do with a boy like ) my brother Dick, who is the most boyish of boys, if she happened to be indifferent to them. I very much fear that the boys of the present genera- tion are not quite up to the standard in some respects. Not that they are not bright, and gifted,.and trust- worthy—I can’t imagine a thoroughgoing American boy being anything else—but it seems to me that they are too much in- clined to be “‘flip,” indifferent to the society of women, and impatient of certain social restrictions. Then they do not improve thelr opportunities as they might. There is a teacher in one of the primary schools who deserves a medal for her ef- forts to teach her boyish young charges to be polite to everybody. A little boy whom I know is under her tutelage, and as he and a small companion from another school passed me the other day, my little friend raised his hat in a perfectly lovely way, and smiled up at me as he passed. Not five steps ahead of that he met his mother's colored wash woman, and lifted his hat to her. His companion indignantly asked why Freddie lifted his hat to “that thing.” “*Cause she is a woman!” answered my little man sturdily. “Teacher says that we should greet all women respectfully. Her boy cuts the grass in our yard, and he al- ways raises his hat to my mamma, and you needn’t think I'm going to let him be politer than me!” There is the making of a noble man in that boy, and I wish there were more of him. One of the serious de- fects in home training ts disregard of the importances of teaching boys to be gentle and courteous, thoughtful and unselfish, just as we teach our girls. Boys are much more troublesome than girls about a house, because they never pich anything up or put an article away, unless ordered to, while with girls it seems to be a second nature. An admonition now and then fs all that a girl needs to teach her to be orderly and careful, but it takes an order, and often a command, to make a boy hang up his hat, put away his school books, or fold up the paper he has been looking at. Many mothers prefer to “pick up” after the boys, as it seems an easier thing to do than to be constantly telling them to do it. Disorder of Boys’ Rooms. A boy’s room will look like a cyclone had struck it, with trousers on a chair, shoes under the bed, shirt on the floor, stockings lost entirely, with a litter of tops and kites, base balls, bats, tennis traps and bicycle accouterments that you are liable to break your neck over before you reduce the room to order. If it were your girl’s room, she would have to clean it up, or else she would remain in it indefinitely. If you did your whole duty by your boy you would make him do the same. I don’t mean that he should sweep and make the bed and do a chambermaid’s work—though it wouldn't hurt him a bit—but he should be taught as you teach your daughter, that leaving clothes on the floor just as you step out of them ruins them faster than hard wearing, and that he owes it to the women about the house to make them just as little trouble as possible, by keeping his sporting traps in order and his clothes hung up. The mother who trots around after her boys continually and slavishly waits upon thent, gratifying their whims at the ¢x- pense of htr own comfort, is laying up mis- ery for herself and for some other women— the unfortunate woman whom they will marry. A mother who does that must not complain if some day her pampered son disrespectfully orders her around, and 'n- forms her that he will run things. She has all his life given him the license for taking just that liberty, by deferring everything to him and his tastes, and in making the whole family bow before his imperious will. When he is impudent to her she consoles herself with the thought that boys nearly always are impudent. If he is boisterous and nolsy and loud and coarse, she sighs and says, “Boys are such a trial,” but never makes any effort te render them less of a. trial, because there seems to be a half-developed superstitfon that a boy's spirit should not be broken by punishmeat! Indeed, I'd rather break his than have him break mine, and one or the other is bound to come, and then whaf a terror an undis- clplined boy is in a neighborhood! I fear that the trend of the times Is lead- ing toward degeneracy in the youth of the land, for anything that meddles with the home life reacts on the children, and the disposition of parents, women to be “ad- vanced” and men to be absorbed In bus!- ness affairs, leaves the children very largely to their own devices, and they are not al- ways of the proper kind for elevating un- trained minds. Not a Good Model. In a herdic the other day a boy of ten sat in the corner where he would naturally take the fares passed up. Instead of doing so, the half-dozen ladies who got in had to tumble over his sprawled-out legs to get to the driver for change, while the young limb played a tattoo on a package he held and whistled shrilly. His general appearance would lead one to suppose that he had been reared to that time at least in a home of luxury. He was probably twelve years of age. An old lady, guite threadbare in ap- pearance, got in, and, sitting down opposite him, untied a nickel from her handkerchief and handed it to him, He coolly dropped it in the box! The lady locked bewildered and distressed, and said, “I thought the fare was 3 cents.” . “What yer givin’ me? I ain’t no con- was the response of the young tough, and he went on whistling. Presently a gentleman got in, and before he got his fare paid a lady hailed the her- dic. Both passed up nickels, and the boy actually Gropped them in the box! : a gave you a nickel,” remonstrated the lady. “S'pose you did! I ain't no cash boy.” I thought the man was about to shake him up as the only method of getting even, when a nice-looking lady entered the her- dic and sat down next to the cub. She got out a dollar and turned to pass it to the boy, when she started and exclaimed, “Why, Sammy! I didn’t know you were coming today!” And she leaned over to kiss him. He drew back and gave her a shove. “Oh, come now! I don’t want nono of that guff.” And the woman, who was evi- dently his mother, drew back in pained silence. The boy took the dollar, and got it changed. “Where's the old man?” he asked nonchalantly as he pushed the change down in his trousers pocket. “I've got to make a raise right off.” ‘The woman's reply was not audible; but that of the cub was, for he said crossly: “You needn't begin lecturing me. I’m no baby. I know what I want and I'm going to have it" ‘And just there they got off, and every- body was glad, and everybody talked at once about the little cad, and the manner in which he had snubbed his poor little mother, and the man said if it was his son he would buy a gross of willow canes pur- posely to wear them out on the youth. Another Kind of a Boy. In that case it was too late for canes, I fear. The time when he could be spatiked and curbed had passed. His mother’s weak love has been his ruin. What he needs is to be put at some good trade and tied down to it, making his clothes and bread and butter depend upon the labor of his own hands for a year or two, and it would noe some of the superciliousness out of im. In happy contrast to this boy was a young man whom I met recently. He was talking business witnthe family attorney, who had been telling, him that his fathor, who was handling the property of himssif and a sister, both: minor children, was prob- ably about to m-ke a disposition of it that was not altogether safe, and that he was Rot acting quite; honorably about it, either. The boy flushed a little, and then said quite bravely: “Never mind. Sister and I have talked it‘'all over, and we'd rather lose every dollar!than have father think for @ moment that we do not trust him. He thinks he is doing the right thing for us.” It wouldn’t take long to decide which of those two boys ‘will make some good wo- man a kind hitsband, and which will ren- der unutterably miserable the woman who is tied to him. , Jf I were giving advice to @ young woman, I would say: “Mark the coarse and disrespectful ‘gnd to other women. No roseate pathway can be hers who shall sustain to him ‘the relation of wife. Not the happiest wiil be the lot of those who shall come to be children of his. Not to be envied is the neighborhood even in which he must be reckoned as a citlaen. It does not matter what the social condi- tion or the mental status of that mother is, or how old, how bent, how decrepi*, she may be, the man to whom she is mother owes to her gentleness, kindness, tender- ness and consideration. There is no rank, no station, no condition, that may exempt @ manly man from a kind regard for a mother.” The Best Kind of Success. A splendid specimen of American boy- hood, just about Dick’s age, who has just graduated from college, wrote me recently, and his letter is so full of good thoughts that for the benefit of boys who, like this one, have to climb by themselves, and stop to carve out the foothold as they go, I am going to quote him. “There are many men here much older than myself, whom I look up to with awe and admiration. They have achieved so much, and I so Httle. They were boys whose lines of life fell into hard and incessant toil, to whom circum- stances barred the way to all but the most meager advantages cf the common school— boys who saw their better favcred mates enter college halls, and who could only re- turn to their toil with a sigh, and yet who lost nothing in the uneven race. Evenings, rainy days, Sundays, little corners of time, all these through years, were utilized; mas- tering a text book sitting on the plow while the horses rested, catching an idea during the noon hour, carryirg books to read as they hauled hay and grain to town —why, do you’ know, it secms to me that the very heavens open to one that earnest- ly desires to see! “To be sure, the steps are slow, but con- sider the advantages. The habit of indus- try that is fostered; the ways of vice that are avoided; the strength that comes with the sturdy pulls; the rest that comes so sweetly after such sacred toil, and the sleep that mantles such an effort-making mind as with a benediction.” There is a regular sermon on the mount in that letter, and I do wish it might be read and taken to heart by the hundreds of young men and boys in this great, big, beautiful city, who loaf from dawn to dark on the streets or in disreputable resorts, cursing fate, yet helping it to weave yet stronger the meshes of evil habit, vicious companionship and mental and moral de- generation. The influence and effects of this kind of an existence cannot be any- thing but bad for the best reared boy, and until self-respect is quite gone no hoy or man with a spark of ambition in him will descend to such depths of degradation. * SENORA SARA. ———— A BOWL OF KAVA. A Polynesian Drink Which is Un- pleasantly Peculiar in Its Preparation From the Westminster Review. Kava fs the native drink, and its use and the manner #nd ¢eremony of its prepara- tion being among the most ancient cus- toms of Polynesia, it merits, I think, a short description, Kava is an indigenous tree, more orless. plentiful throughout the South Sea Islands,’ the root of which is em- ployed in the manufactur> of the drink. When visitors are present much ceremony is observed in. itsypreparation. A beautiful round bowl of dark-colored wood is pro- duced, its ihterfor shining with a blue enamel-like coating, caused by the deposit cf the root. Generally speaking, the best bowl is the property of the village, and much care 1s taken and time spent in pol- ishing and preserving the enamel, in the interior. 2 Three young girls with shining white teeth, chosen usually from the “belles” of the village, seat themselves around the bowl, each having a piece of the kava raot. This they proceed to break up into smail pieces, and, putting them, into their mouths, chew the dry root until it is re- @uced to a pulp, which Is placed from time to time in a bowl. A sufficiency having been thus prepared, water is poured in and the whole mixture is stirred up; bunches of fine fiber are then drawn through the liquid to strain out any small Pieces of the root which may remain. The drink ts pow complete, and is passed: around in cups of cocoanut shell to the chiefs and principal people of the assembly in order of rank.

From the Humane Journal. Leather made from the skin of. the ‘kangaroo 1s one of the new products in the leather line. It is soft, strong, and the ight grades aré particularly well adapted for light summer shoes and for shoe tops, while the heavier grades will bear more usage than any other leather finished on the grain side. The light skins are made into the finest brilliant glazed kid, and in dull finish for ladies’ fine shoes; and the heavy ones are finished for men’s fine work. Much of it is crimped, and sold for tongue boots. Shoe laces of good qualities are also made of it. The skin of the kangaroo has a wonder- fully muscular fiber, which contributes largely to the strength of the animal, en- abling the females to carry their young in their pouches until old enough to take care of themselves,and aiding the kangaroo in his long ledps when in motion. The animal is a@ native of Australia and adjacent islands. It is a distinct species, and has no counterpart in other countries. ‘There are a great number of families, some scarcely larger than a rat, others of almost gigantic size. The giant kangaroo (Ma- cropus major), the family which furnishes the most valuable skins, was discovered by Capt. Cook about @ century ago, at which time it attracted much attention among naturalists. The natives of Australia call the old males “hooma,”” and are slow to attack them. The “booma” has paws as large as these of a mastiff, though of different shape. His feet are his weapons, and when attacked he'is “a dangerous antagonist. When raised to°h{!s full height his hind legs and tail’ form a tripod, upon which his body rests, carrying his head as high as that of a‘mani on horseback. The kangaroo Hves upon vegetable food and roams dver’the plains of Australia in large floc! Its teeth are so construct- ed that it can feed upon roots and live upon barren,;plains where other animals would starve, and, to its destruction of roots {s attributed’ thé sterile plains so com- mon in Austfalia?

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. WATERTOWN, N. Y., August 1, 1895. Hidden away up in the northern part of New York ‘s the thrifty little city of Watertown, known to all the big news- paper publishers as one of the best paper producing cities. Each year thousands cf tons of paper are turned out, and many cf the big newspapers are supplied from here. ‘Watertown is one of the busiest cittes in the state. In summer, with its beautifully shaded streets and picturesque homes, it ig truly a charming spot. The winters, however, are long and cold, and »ot infre- quently the mercury falls thirty degrees below zero. The city is cut in twain by the Black river, whose swift, dark current winds from the Adirondacks to the St. Lawrence river by way of Black River bay. Just a3 it enters the city it rushes over a waterfall of big granite rocks, and goes whirling away to turn the Diz paper mills which line the shores on both sides. The south, with all its ancient customs and enviable record for hospitality, does not contain a more generous people than these New Yorkers, as they like to be called. Although they are mostly repub- licars, right in their midst dwells that war horse of the democracy, Roswe!l P. Flower, ex-governor of New York, and one of ihe best loved men in this section. While he has been most liberal to the city, and built, with his brother, an expensive church and parsonage, his popularity was not pur- chased. He grew to manhood in Water- town, and the little shop where he t.sed to carry on the watch repairing business still stands. Although a very wealthy man, he is democratic in his ideas, and claims to be a democrat of the old Jeffersonian type. A striking example of his character oc- curred when he was on“his way to Albany to assume the duties of fovernor. The railroad officials came forward when in- auguration time drew near, and offered him a private car, but the governor refused it. The party went to Utica in a common coach, and stood nearly all the way. Whon he entered the car I remember how the passengers jumped to their feet, but thank- ing one of them for a seat, which” he gavé to his wife, he politely declined the others, and rode out of Watertown as on@ of its humblest citizens. Paper Manufacture. The manufacture of paper is one of the chief commercial interests of Watertown, and long has been. It may not be gen- erally known, but iearly all paper nqwa- days is made from wood pulp. Years ago, perhaps a dozen, paper was manufactured from rags, but the advent of the big dailies made it necessary to find some cheaper material. A wasp's nest gave the idea, and a German named Kellar grasped it at once. He carefully examined the delicate fibers of the nest and found they were made of wood. A colony of nest-building wasps was followed, and the modus operandi studied. He found that the wasps simply selected the tiniest fibers of wood, and from this made the nest. When rags were useds paper (or, as they call that quality used for newspapers, ‘‘news") cost in the neighborhood of 7 cents per pound. Now it ranges, according to quality, from 2% cents to 3% cents per pound. ‘The demand for pulp is so great that in a few years there will be scarcely any spruce in the eastern or middle states. All through the forests in the southern part of New York state there are pulp mills. These do not pretend to make paper, but simply grind the wood and ship the pulp In bulky sheets to the finishing mills, where it Is processed and put on the market in various commercial forms. Pulp mills, however, only exist In the mountains, from which it is difficult to transport the logs. Usually the logs are rafted down stream, but where there is no river with a con- venient current and the railroad facilities are poor and tariff high it has been found cheaper to grind the wood and ship the pulp by freight. The pulp wood is brougnt into Watertown in several different 3. It comes down the Black river in rafts; it is shipped as it is cut by rail, and comes also already ground. Grinding the Wood. Many of the mills have big steam saws to cut the wood into convenient blocks for handling, and it is a curious sight to see perhaps a thousand cords of these blocks piled up ready for use. From the woodpile the blocks are railroaded into the “barber shop,” where heavy, murderous-looking machinery, with huge cylinders provided at regular intervals with disks of iron with sharp cutting edges, trims the heavy bark off as clean as a boy can peel a stick with a jack knife. The block is now ready for the grinder, and soon will make its reap- pearance in another form. A grinder re- sembles in principie a coffee mill such as the cook uses in the kitchen. A big grind- stone is made to revolve at a high rate of speed and crush the wood. They vary in thickness from two to three feet and six to twelve feet in circumference. Surround- ing the stone is a metallic shell, or cap, in- to the circumference of which are several metallic boxes so constructed as to snugly accommodate a block. Various means are employed to force the block down upon the grindstone. As the stone revolves the block is ground into exceedingly fine fibers like bits of hair. Several streams of water are kept playing upon the stone and wash the ground substance down upon a screen, which vibrates longitudinally. A bellows bottom to this screen completes a most ingenious contrivance. It separates the fine fibers and leaves under the plate oniy the wood pulp substance. Now, in the woods this completes the jrocess of pulp- making. The pulp is pressed into big sheets resembling a wad of coarse blotting paper. But this is only the beginning of the paoermaker’s work. After the pulp has been separated, it is sent to a refining process, which is simply another form of washing. Big tubs, in which the pulp is agitated by paddles, complete this work. While the pulp is in the tubs, however, tale, or a small portion of sulphate fiber, is added to give it body. Now it is pumped through pipes and vats and once again is deposited upon another screen, where little odds and ends that may have got in during its voyage are taken out. Converting Pulp Into Paper. Now comes the mest interesting process of all. The pulp being soft and free from grit is now taken to the fourdrinier ma- chine, It would take a column to describe minutely this interesting piece of mechan- ism. Suffice to say, the principal feature is the fourdrinier wire, which is in reality but a picce of erdless wire cloth. Upon this cloth the rulp is shcveled, and as it is carried slong the water is drawn from it by suction underneath. The wire cloth mgauwhile is vibrating and the fine fibers are evenly distributed. Under a magnify- ing glass you can see them spread out in different ways, some lengthwise and some crosswise <f{ the cloth. The drawing off the water from the pulp “felts” the latter, and now yuu begin to see the embryonic shect of peper which shortly may give to the world some startling piece of informa- tion. As the felted pulp leaves the four- drinier wire it passes through several se- ries of rollers, which complete the drying, regulate the thickness of the paper and give a finished surfsce to the paper, which is now issuing from the other end in an endless strip of newspaper. Then it is cut its proper width and wound upon reels ready for shipment. An average paper mill issues about sixty tons of paper a 5 — A Pernphrase. From the Boston Transcript.

House & Herrmann Have Broken Ground for 2 Mammoth New Store. When Messrs. House & Herrmaan, the pioneers of the credit furniture business in Washington, established themselves here eleven years ago one of their present block of fine stores afforded them ample accom- moéation.” But Thursday of this week they began the demolition of the buildings on the northeast corner of 7th and I streets to make way for the handsome new six- stcry structure they propose to erect. For the past four or five years this enterpris- ing firm has felt the need of larger and more suitable quarters, and the readers of The Star will feel a personal interest in this fresh evidence of prosperity, because the firm is satisfied that to the value of this paper as an advertising medium much of the success of this business house is at- tributable. That the new building will be an archi- tectural beauty 1s assured by the choice of its architect, Appleton P. Clark, jr., who has drawn the plans for many of the most prominent buildings erected here in recent years. The House & Herrmann building will have a frontage on 7th street of forty-six feet, running easterly on I street 103 feet. It will be six stories high, with basement ard tower. It is to be a modern building in every detail. The front and side up to the second-floor ceiling will be arranged as show windows, having probably the largest glass expanse of any business house in the elty. The corner tower will be round, and up ta the second story entirely of glass, ex- cept the supporting fron pillars. Above the main roof it takes the fora of an open arcade, coped with a dome, from the base of which, at each of the eight pillars, wili be_suspended electric arc lights. Effect and solidity of construction go hand in hand. The walls are to be of brick, with stone trimmings. The interior will be finished in what is known as the siow-burning construction— the first of the kind in the District. On this plan the girders are of unusually large size, and are left exposed on all sides, while the flooring is of sclid planks, five inches thick. In ordinary construction the space between joist and studding is in- cased by flooring and plastering, and so fcrming a flue, through which fire may spread to all parts of the building. In the slow-burning construction there are no hidden spaces—a fire could be at once lo- cated and extinguished before it could gain any headway on the huge timbers, The builder, L. J. Prescott, was selected because of his experience with big con- tracts, and especially this slow-burning construction feature. The public and private offices of the firm and the shipping department are all to be located in the rear on the first floor, and, to- gether with the large stairway, will be finished in oak. The first floor ceiling will eee in es panels, frescoed in colors, ceilings of the uy floors wi - = me Mroodwori a aa e plans call for two elevators. In basement will be located the boilers, Retired and dynamos, the latter furnishing power lend oe erates and the forty arc and scores of incandescent light ok be seaten by steam.

From the Toronto (Ontarto) Trath. A United States judge igdulged in a very hasty generalization when in the recent trial of an alimony case he interjected the remark that “any man who gives all his salary to his wife is a fool.” Many men not fools, but wise and prudent, turn over their earnings to their wives as the most competent stewards of the household. It is a practice which prevails extensively among careful wage earners. The wife is the family treasurer, to whose keeping the husband intrvsts his wages. If she is a good woman, she has only the interests ef the family at heart, and if she is a prudent woman she can dispense its income more economically than he. She understands better its needs, is more unselfish, less li- able to self-indulgence, and a more skill- ful purveyor. Temptations to' waste money in excesses, which beset him, do ,not at- tack her. It does not so readily burn holes through her pockets as through his. She is better able to get its worth in substantial comforts and necessities. Many men know how to make money, very few how to use it wisely, and keep it; and hence among wage earners it frequently happens that the husband acknowledgos that the wife is the superior financier by putting in her keeping his Saturday night's wages. Pos- sibly he may retain a trifling sum for his absolutely necessary personal expenses, but oftentimes he gives up to her all of it, and she supplies him with what he requires. By so doing the man escapes temptations to extravagance and self-indulgence which would be irresistible if he carried about his wages in his pocket as both the bread win- ner and the treasurer of the household, with the consequence of suffering for the family and no savings laid by against a rainy day. Where he is weak, his wife may be strong. As a matter of fact, a great part of the savings bank accounts of married men earning wages are kept up by their economical and self-denying wives. Generally the wives are much less disposed to extravagance than the hus- bands. They do not smoke and they do not treat. As good mothers they may be anx- ious to have their children present a nice appearance, but they are very sparing in expenditures on their own dress. Bridget, too, wants to keep Patrick straight, and she knows his besetting weaknesses. She doesn’t want him to have too much money, for she knows it is not gocd for him. She had rather buiid vp an account in the say- ings bank for the time when he loses his job. She may discipline him severely on occasions, but even in his rebellion he knows that he needs the restraint. The remark of the judge, therefore, was too sweeping. The best thing many a man can do with his earnings is to turn them over to his wife. If she’s a bad woman, unworthy of the trust, heaven help him! He is a wretched creature. If she is a vain and silly and self-indulgent woman, he has a load on his back which will be likely to keep him down always. A woman to whom a poor man cannot trust his money is no fit wife for him. +o+—____ Filled the Bill.

Carter, who is in the Dicyc! and sewing machine business, confirms the report that his wife, Ellen Carter, is now the heir to property worth about $500,000. Mrs. Carter is one of the seven daughters of Mrs. Bridget Egan, who died at Greens- burg, Pa., about a month ago. Mrs. Egan at the time of her death was over ninety years of age, and was in many ways a re- markable woman. She belonged to a good old Irish family. Early in life she went to Pennsylvania with her husband, and for fifty years she lived in Greensburg. Her son, Frenk Egan, was sent to college, and while pursuing his studies became well ac- quainted with James G. Blaine. Young Egan studied law, and settled in San An- tonto, Texas, when that city was miles away from a railroad. The young man wag prosperous, and soon owned a large amount of property in the Texas city. He was taken sick, and went home and died. His mother assumed control of the Property he left. She went to San Antonio to lock after her interests, and disposed of a part of the real estate. She received payment in gold for the property, and the problem with her was to get the gold home. She finally hit upon the plan of putting the metal into sacks, which were bound about her chest. In this way she succeeded in getting the money to her Pennsylvania home, but the weight of the metal upon her chest gave her heart disease, with which she was always troubled after making the journey. Mrs. Egan paid the taxes on the San Antonio property, and now that she is gone her daughters are heirs to about twenty-five acres of land in the Texas city. Besides this real estate, the old lady left property in Galveston, Texas; Weash- irgton, Greensburg, Pa., and in Amherst, Canada. = never sald much about her holdings, and it was not until a short time before her death that the members of her family knew that she owned any prop- erty in Canada. To all of Mrs. Egan's daughters were afford excellent oppor- tunities for good education, and some of them became expert linguists. ——+-e+—_____ Animals Understand Hygiene. From the London Spectator, Enough is now known of the nature of animal materia medica to excite interest ard curiosity. There is abundant evidence that many species know and constantly make use of simple remedies for definite disorders, and at the same time observe rules of health to which only the highest civilization or the sanction of religious prescription compels man to ‘conform. It has been noted that the general condl- ton of animal health, especially in the case of the herbivorous creatures, corresponds rot inexactly with that of such tribes as the Somalis, men feeding almos: solely cn grain, milk, dates and water, living con- stantly in the open air, moderate in all things, and cleanly, becanse their religion enjoins constant ablutions. Like them, wild animals have no induced diseases; the greater number do not eat to excess; they take regular exercise in seeking their food, and drink only at @xed hours. Many of them secure change of climate, one of the greatest factors in health, by migration. This is not confined to birds and beasts, for the salmon enters the soft water partly to get rid of sea parasites, and returns to the sea to recruit after spawning. With change of climate, change of diet, and per- fectly healthy habits, their list of disorders is short, though they readily fall victims to contagious disease, just as recently num- bers of the Hamran Arabs of the Soudan, as healthy livers and good Mussulmans as the Somalis themselves, friends and fellow- hunters with Sir Samuel Baker, perished of contagious fever on the banks of the Nile tributaries. ———_+-e+—___ He—“The lamp is going out.” She—“Yes.
