African Mothers That Kill One of a Pair of Twins. From the New York Journal. Dolls we associate with children and the nursery, net with problems of civilization and national customs. But the doll has much more of a history and plays a more important part in the world than is gener- ally suspected. In fact, dolls are so im- portant in some countries as to lead a noted Scotchman to devote years of stuly to them. Andrew Findlater, LL. D., the eminent Scotchman of letters, has written a paper filled with almost incredible information concerning dolls. Not only has the use of dolls been in vogue from the remotest ages, but it is common in all barbarous nations as well as among civilized peoples. ~ Neither is it to children alone that the fondling of dolls is confined, says Dr. s'ind- later. Among many uncultured tribes te- males are known to carry dolls long after they have arrived at womanhood. ‘The women of the Bechuanas carry a doll vith chem until they give birth to @ child that tives, and the Basuto woinen have a similar practice. Dr. Findlater says further that in raany sections of Africa twins are regurded with unspeakable terror. There is a tradition among the savages that if both children a allowed to live they must be either mental- ly or physically unsound, as they would have but one spirit between them. Accordingly, whenever twins are porn, the younger is always killed by the parenis. As though in some measure to show she did not wish to be cruel to the murdere oftspring, the mother takes with her a doll and bestows upon it 4 care equal to that of the first-born chit. “Among the Wanyamwezi,” says Dr. Findiater, “it is custumery for the parents to kill one of the ‘wins and then to wrap a gourd or calabash in skins, to place it to sleep in the same bed with the surviving child, and even to put food at its 1} These dolis of the savayes are for the most part cut out of piain wood, though in a few cases an elephants wusk is utilized for the same purpose. Expensive dolls are for the most part made in England, while the cheaper varie- ties are usually made in France, the Neth- erlands and along the River Rhine. It is a curious fact that the eyes of Queen Victo- ria, which are blue, years ago set the fash- jon for English dolls. ——___+ e+ LOVE THEIR HOME, Instinct That Lends Animals Back to Their Native Heath. From the Pittsburg News. With the exception, possibly, of the an- thropoid apes, the homing sense is possess ed in a higher or a lower degree by all mammals; this 1s true also of the birds. The well-known exploits of the carrier pigeon are so familiar that they will scarce- ly need comment. The duck and the goose sometimes have this sense very highly de- veloped. I once knew a goose to travel back home after being carried in a covered basket for the distance of eighteen miles. A drake and a duck, to my certain knowl- edge, traveled back to their old home, a distance of nine miles, after being trans- pcrted by railway. Instances of nome-re- turning in dogs, cats, horses, etc., are of such common occurrence that I hardly peed call attention to them. The following instance is so unique, however, that I will give it: In the fall of 1861 a gentleman of Vin- cennes, Ind., visited his father at Lebanon, Ky. When he started to return home his father gave him a yoke of young steers, which he drove via Louisville to Vincennes. Shortly after his arrival the steers made their escape, swam the Onio at Owensboro’, Ky., 160 miles below Louisville, and in a v.eek or so were found one morning at the gate of their old home at Lebanon. Led by thelr sixth sense alone, these animals had made a journey of*several hundred miles over a route entirely unknown to them. Fishermen ere well aware of the fact that certain fish choose localities for thcir lurking places which they will share with no other fish. The black bass, brook trout, sturgeon and goggle-eye are familiar ex. amples of the fish which have this habit. Some time ago I performed the following experiment: I took a bass from its home near a sunken stump, and, after passing a thin, short piece of strong thread through the web of its tail and knotting it, replaced it in the river two miles below {ts lurking place. The next day I saw it in its old home, clearly recognizable from the bit of thread which waved to and fro in the clear water as the fish moved its tail. ——__-e-_____ Forrest as a Cavalry Leader. Frem tbe Century. Who car doubt, then, that if Lee had been provided with a reserve of 20,000 fresh cavalry, under such a leader as For- Test, at Gaines’ Mill, or the secofid Ma- ruseas, or Chancellorsville the Army of the Potomac would not have survived to fight another battle? For, unless Sheridan be excepted, there was no cavalry general on either side in the war who could equal Forrest in the pursuit of a defeated army. Lord Wolseley has said, in his sketch of Forrest, that ‘Forrest's sixty-mile pur- suit of Sturgis after their batile was a most remarkable achievement and well worth attention by military students.” ‘The Lady of the House Was in the Métehen, the Servant Upstairs. “An agent who canvasses from house to house-as some peéuliar experiences,” a men who sells albums remarked ‘to a Star reporter. “I called at-a house in Northwest Wash- ington, and the door was opened by a very ‘well-dressed woman; evidently of Milesian origin. “This is the lady of the house, I pre- sume,’ I sald, lifting my hat. “‘Indade, thin, it is not.
