That animals have a means of com? munication among themselves through certain vocal sounds is a well-estab? lished fact; that these vocal sounds are of sufficient range to express other than mere physical ideas, and thus to assume the importance of a language, is probable, although as yet unproved. It is toward the final settlement of this question that I wish to add my mite, and, while there is much that might be said, in the present instance *I will confine my observations to a field but little explored?the attempts of animals to communicate with man. For the last three years I have had a tame fox squirrel of which I have made a great pet. Polly has occupied a cage in the labaratory where she has been, for the most part, shut off from the sights and sounds of the outside world. Although at times the laboratory has had other tenants in the Bhape of squirrels, rab? bits and guinea pigs, she has formed no particular attachment for any of them, but when I am" about she is us? ually olose to me, either on my shoulder or following me about like a dog. - Unconsciously at first and later with a definite purpose, I have talked to her much as one would talk to a young child. About a year ago she began to reply to my conversation. At first it was only in response to my questions as to food, etc., but later her "talk" has assumed larger proportions, until now she will, of her own accord, as? sume the initiative. Her vocabulary appears to be quite extensive, and while, for the most part, pertains to matters of food and personal comfort, there are times when it seems ab though she were trying to. tell me of other things. When I first go out where she is in the morning she immediately asks for food, and until that want is supplied she keeps up a constant muttering. Later when her hunger is appeased she will ask to be let out oi the cage. Often when playing about the room she will climb onto my shoulder and "talk" to me for a while in a low tone and then scamper off. Unless she is sleepy, she will always reply to any remark made to her. Her speech is not the chattering or? dinarily observed in squirrels, but a low gutteral tone that reminds one both of the low notes of a frog and the cluck of a chicken. Some of the notes I have been able to repeat, and invariably Bhe becomes alert and re? plies to them. Unfortunately the ef? fort to reproduce her tones produces an uncomfortable effect on my throat, and I have been obliged to desist from further experiments in that direction. The sounds that she makes are quick and in low tones; so the attempt to iso? late words is very difficult, yet there is as much range of inflection as in German. Another reason why I believe she is endeavoring to communicate with me is that she has used the same sounds toward other squirrels confined in the same cage, and that, while she will an? swer anyone who addresses her, she voluntarily will only talk at length to me. That she understands what is said to her is beyond question, and, furthermore, she will distinguish be? tween a xemark make to her and one made to some one else. I have had many pets that would answer i:a monosyllables to a question asked them or indicate by actions their deaires, but this is the first in? stance that has come under my ob? servation in which an animal has at? tempted more than that. Wheen Polly first commmenced "talking" I regarded it merely as idle chattering, but further observation shows that it was not such and that the sounds she makes have a definite meaning. Morover, the sounds she makes in "talking" are not the shrill notes of anger or alarm, but low, clear sounds that are unmistakably articu? late. In my fondness for my pet, have I ' overestimated the sounds she makes or am I right in assigning to them the characters of speech ? "Why should an a ninu.1 not attempt to communicate with man? The higher animals are possed of a well-formed larynx and vocal chords. Why, then, should we deny or ever question the possibility of articulate speech ? And if they can converse among themselves why may they not atttempt to commu? nicate w^th man? Any oae-who has owned a well-bred I dog can relate numerous instances in which his dog haB clearly understood what was said to it, and the readiness with which a dog learns a new com? mand shows an intelligence of a high order. Although a dog's vocabulary is of limited range, it has certain de? finite sounds that possess an unmis? takable meaning. There is the short, sharp bark that expresses a want, the low, nervous bark that means dis? comfort, the sharp, quick bark of joy, the low whine of distress, the - growl of distrust, the deep growl of anger, the loud bark of warning and the whimper of fright. When to these is added the various movements of the body, cowering in fear, crouching in anger, the stiff bracing of the body in defense, leaping in joy, and many special actions, as licking the h^nd of the mastsr or pulling at his clothes, we find -:hat a dog can express his likes and dislikes, his wants and feel? ings, as clearly as though he were hu? man. Any one who, in a time of sor? row or depression, has had his dog come to him and lay its head in his lap and has looked down into those great brown eyes so full of sympathy and love, can never doubt that the dog understood all, and in its own way was trying to comfort. A friend's cat has an unmistakable :<ign for yes or no. The former is a low ineyouw, while the latter is a short, sharp m'yoww. If Tom wants to go out that fact is made manifest by a quick meyouw. If, perchance, any one should be in the chair Tom regards as his especial property, no re? gard for propriety restrains him from indicating that fact and unceremon? iously ordering the intruder out. His meyouw on such an occasion cannot be miftaken. Instances of this are not uncommon and ordinarily fail to attract attention, but is there not here a field that will well repay a careful investigation ? ?Until my pet squirrel commenced her fperformances I regarded these things as a matter of course, but her chattering has raised within me the question, Is it not possible that our animal friends are endeavering in their own way to talk to us as we talk to them? Why Mankind Has to Learn How to Swim. A writer named Robinson, in Nine? teenth Century, brings forward a quite plausible explanation of the fact that, while most of the animal creation ap? pear to swim by intuition, man is al? most alone in requiring previous training to enable him to keep his head above water. He says it is merely a matter of heredity, and due to our descent from races who were cave and rock dwellers and rock and tree climbers. This theory does not necessarily imply Darwinism, or go so far as to demand the belief that man is but a highly revised addition of some anthropoid ape. He suggests that all mammif erous animals, when conscious of danger, uses instinctively the means given them for flight and es? cape, which involve precisely the mo? tions best calculated to keep them afloat in water. The hereditary in? stinct of the man, however, is unfor? tunately, he says, to climb out of the danger. Hence, unless he has a nata? tory education, he throws his arms at once above his head, thus increasing the weight upon the latter, which, of course, goes then under water. Thus the struggles of the untaught human being tend to his own destruc? tion, as is well known to be the case. It may be added that, admitting this view, we bar ourselves from any imputation of a batrachian element in our ancestry. Had there fortunately been such, we ought to have fo:\nd ourselves swimming instinctively, when plunged into deep waters. Nev? ertheless, in any case, the frog has clearly been our preceptor or rather our examplar in this useful art, for man swims greatly like a frog, and by no means "like a duck," or "like a fish," as so often tritely phrased. I Deep-Sea Diving. The steamer Alfonso XII, having on board 10 boxes of gold coin, each box worth ?10,000, struck on a rock and sank at Grand Canary while on a voyage from Cadiz to Havana in 1886. It was ascertained that the specie was at a depth of 26 2-3 fathoms, 160 feet, and grave doubts were entertained of the possibility of any diver being able to withstand the tremendous pressure incidental to such a depth, viz., some 67 pounds to every superficial square inch of his body. Experiments at this depth were made off Dartmouth, and two men, Lambert and Tessier, were" found equal to the perilous task. Also, dresses wfre at length made which would remain watertight at so great a depth. An expedition was sent out by the Marine Insurance Company, the divers to reoeive a reward of 5 per cent, or ?500, on each box recovered. Lam? bert got up seven boxes and Tessier two. So terrible was the pressure that neither man could stay below for more than a few minutes, and Lambert, for some time after his return, suffered from chronic paralysis of the bowels, by which he was in a certain respect reduced to the helpless condition of a babe in the cradle. Probably a tightly sealed kettle, sent down empty to the same depth, would have beentcrushed flat. As it was, the divers only sucoeeded in finding nine boxes out of ten, ?10,000 thus remaining below. A subsequent expedition went in search of this box, and the diver, after being down for 20 minutes, was hauled up only to die. Nothing discouraged, a fresh expedition went out with two divers from Germany. The first of these was promptly hauled up half dead, only to be sent ashore to the hospital raving mad; the other went down but returned declaring that no box was there. "Whether he really got so far as the lazarette from which, the nine boxes were taken is open to doubt. The pressure at such depths must be posi? tively crushing. In the accounts of one of the deep sea dredging expedi? tions it is mentioned that when the trawl was raised from a great depth the pressure proved to have been suoh as to crush together the wood of the trawl beam so that the knots started out of it. ? Trees are felled by electricity in the great forests of Galicia. For out ting comparatively soft wood the tool is in the form of an auger, which is mounted on a carriage and is moved to an fro and revolved at the same time by a small electric motor. As the cut deepens wedges are inserted to prevent the rift from closing, and when the tree is nearly cut through an ax or hand saw is used to finish the work. In this way trees arc felled very rapidly and with very little la? bor.

Ukadficld Regulator Co., Atlanta, Ca The Inspiration of the Rlblf At the Citadel Square Baptist Church last night the pastor, the Rev. David W. Ramsey, complying with the request of the Bible Society of Charleston, preached a sermon on the inspiration of the Scriptures, of which the following is a careful abstraot: The Bible: is it from God or man? Tim., iii:16. It is not possible to discuss a more vital and important question than the one chosen. The treatment must be simple and practi? cal, and easily within the reach of all minds, and hence that which is ob truse and technical must be left out. The Bible is the people's book. For the most part it was written by men who came from the "rank and file," ' and nothing is clearer than the fact that it is put within the grasp of the average mind. The inspiration of the Bible is a fundamental truth, and it is well sometimes to examine the foun? dation of the splendid temple of Christianity. It is reassuring to find that the superstructure does not rest on myriads of piles driven into the yielding soil, but that it is supported by the eternal rock. 1. We speak first of the necessity for the inspiration of the Bible. Man needs a revelation on account of his ignorance'and imperfections. Unaided by Divine wisdom man could not write the historical portions of the Bible without many and egregious errors. Macauley, blessed with an al most faultless memory, made many mistakes in his history of England. So abundant are the geographical re? ferences in the four gospels that Re nan has called tho land of Palestine "the fifth gospel," and yet nomistakes are found in the descriptions given by t^ie writers. There must be errors in the moral teachings of an uninspired man, however good or great he may be. Socrates, the best of the heathen world, once adviBed a man to do an unvirtuous deed and justified the act. The Vedas, the holy books of the Hindoos, permit thieving, and the Koran, the second book of the Mo? hammedans,, teaches salvation by works. The best of the Greeks saw nothing wrong in exposing cripple children to die in the mountains, while the Spartans taught that steal was a virtue, providing the thief was not caught up with. Contrast with these with the teachings of the Bible. Any correct knowledge of a spiritual life and of a spirit world must be re? vealed by God. While these truths could not be found out by man, still they can be tested by his experience. Many reject the Bible because they have not incorporated its truths into their lives. Emerson exclaims : "'Tis curious we only believe as deep as we live." A wiser man than Emerson, said : "The natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God." 2. Consider now the proof of the in? spiration of the Scriptures. I am much impressed by what Je? sus thought of the Bible. He greatly loved and honored this book. Proba? bly he was too poor to own a Bible in that day, when it was so expensive, but he pondered over its pages, and how often he quoted its words ! He quoted with approval from nearly every book in the Old Testament. My whole bouI accepts the splendid life and character of Jesus, and since he received the Bible as a divine book I do too. It is a significant fnot that Jesus wrote nothing himself or caus? ed nothing to be written while he lived about the Christianity he came to bring to earth. No book of the New Testament was written nearly twenty years after his death. How do you account for the fact that he was se? renely indifferent about his words and deeds being put on record ? We know how importants it is for facts to. be set down promptly and accurately. Every court has its stenographer and the enterprising reporter takes down the words as they fall from the speak? ers' lips. Robert Burns said truJ/ that a line of fact set down on the spot is worth a cartload of reminis? cences. .Though Jesus spoke words that have fired humanity's heart and revolutionized society he said never a word about their preservation. Ah, me! You know there is but one ex? planation for this course of Jesus, namely : He knew that the Holy Spir? it would look after the writing of the New Testament. 3. Notice some of the objections made to the doctrine of the inspiration or the Bible. I It has been claimed by some that there are errors in the historical state? ments. Some of these are mistakes of copyists. No one supposes that scribes have been sup ernaturally 1 saved from blunders. The spade is j proving to be a great friend to the Bible. Recent excavations in the East are confirming Scriptural state? ments. Some have charged the Bi? ble with errors in morals. It does not sanction immoral actions, but it faith ' fully records the evil deeds of a good I man. Remember the Bible does not palliate Noah's drunkenness, nor Ja? cob's duplicity, nor David's crimes, but on the contrary it points out God's disapproval and punishment. Nor do we admit the existence of sci? entific errors in the Scripture. The Bible does not undertake to teach sci? ence. It is worth while to remember that no accepted scientific princi-1 pie contradicts any fact taught in the Bible. The greatest men of this earth have been firm believers in the Bible as God's book. When Edwin Arnold published "The Light of Asia" it was thought that he praised the religion of India at the expense of Christiani? ty, but one day in conversation with a friend he said he would not give one verse of the Sermon on the Mount for all the sacred books of India. Among the last words of Sir Walter Scott he exclaimed "There is but one book." The sermon was listened to with profound attention, and was highly appreciated by the congregation, which besides the usual attendants com? prised a number of the members of the Bible Society belonging to other churghes.?News and Courier, The Dispensary Issue. We called to see our sheriff, Mr. John P. Hunter, who has been quite ill for the past month, on Monday, and are glad to say that he is much im? proved and though still unwell, is at his post giving his duties his personal attention. While talking with, him, the conversation drifted into the con? dition of our country and the political outlook. He is, as every one knows, a level headed man, and always speaks as he acts, in a very plain and em? phatic way. When asked what he thought would be the leading issue in the coming State campaign he said, his honest opinion was, that the dis? pensary question would be, and that the dispensary and anti-dispensary advocates would lock horns and that the anti-dispensary Democrats would be overwhelmingly successful, as he believed that the prayers and earnest support of the preachers and good men and women in the State would be against the dispensary liquor business and all other wrongful traffic in liquor. That their influence exerted in the last primary- election on the prohibition question would convince anyone of their great power and moral strength. And they will no doubt oommence at an early date to look about for men for the va? rious offices who will not ignore their wishes as expressed by their ballots cast for prohibition in the last primary election. Another thing, Mr. Hunter says, that convinces him that this will be a very strong issue in the coming campaign is, that he finds more Al liancemen who are anti-dispensary men than he does non-Alliancemen who are anti-South Carolina adminis? tration men, and that he has no idea that any political liquor tricksters would be able to influence the good alliancemen and good people generally o?. our country to go to the ballot boxes at the coming election and vote for selfish political schemers in in? iquity against their own interests in every conceivable shape imaginable.? Lancaster Ledger. The Mirage, In Texas mirages can be witnessed in as wonderful forms as are ever pro? duced in any part of the world. In that portion of the State marked upon the maps of the olden time as a desert, where no plant could grow or breath? ing thing live, but which is now cut up into immense wheat or grazing fields, I have experienced the most lifelike optical delusions of which the mind can conceive. Foi that matter, the entire prairie appears to be a de? lusion. The air is so rare that no odor is perceptible, even from the car? rion. As a man rides along he sees before him beautiful groves of majes* tic trees, which, when reached, prove to be mesquite bushes three or. four feet in height. Over the plain are what appear to be stakes six or eight feet high, which in reality are Spanish 'daggers about a foot in height, the entire plain being called the "Staked Plain" from the effect produced by this plant. The best mirages or cloud pictures are to be seen about Ama rillo, where beautiful lakes appear to be but a mile or two away, and stran? gers invariably ask if they contain fish. Views of the Gulf are occasionally had and once a steamer in distress was seen, and it was learned that a steamer had been lost at sea at that time. A few miles above Amarillo is a steep ' canon, the prairie ending abruptly where the river flows between perpen? dicular rocks, one thousand feet be? low the table land. This canon can sometimes be seen inverted in the sky. The mirages assume all kinds of shapes and in the summer season few days pass during which there is not some kind of landscape seen in the sky.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. g The Salt Bob, Various sanitariums and private hospitals are using "the salt rub," and it is becoming so popular that some Turkish hath establishments are advertising it as a special attraction. It is just as good for well people as sick ones, is the most refreshing of all the baths and rubs ever invented, only excepting a dip in the sea itself, and is matchless in its effect upon the skin and complexion. With all these virtues, it is the simplest, most easily managed of all similar measures, and can be taken at home easily. Put a few pounds of coarse salt, the coarsest you can get, sea salt by preference, in an earthen jar, and pour enough water on it to produce a sort of slush, but not enough to dis? solve the salt. This should then bo shaken up in handfuls and rubbed briskly over the entire person. Of course it is better to have it rubbed on by another person, but any one in ordinary health can do it for herself or himself very satisfactorily.. This being done, the next thing is a thor? ough douching of clean water, prefera? bly cold, with a brisk rubbing with a dry towel. The effect of elation, freshness and renewed life is felt immediately, and the satiny and increased clearness and brightness of the complexion swell the testimony in favor of the salt rub.? New York World. ? In Prussia 1,200 people die of delirium tremens every year. ? One of the wealthiest men in the Argentine Republic is Senor Jose Guazzone, the "wheat king." He owns 63,000 acres of land, according to South American papers. He went to Buenos Ayres in 1875, when 20 years old, with only a few dollars in his pocket. In the following year he saved $8,000. He invested the money in land and in 1879 his estate was valued at $18,000. With the money which he had saved he rented more lauds, sowed them in wheat and bor? rowed machines to reap his crops. Guazzone is said to be of Hebrew origin. ? If the money spent every year in this country on drink were given to a person in $5 gold pieces he might walk around the world at the equator and drop three every step, and then only exhaust the supply, DIptlierla Diptheria is a disease which moth? ers cannot have treated too promptly and thoroughly. It is caused by a bacillus which has its home in the false membranes in the throat. It is highly contagious, and particularly to the nurse or mother who has the dan? gerous duty of mopping or cleaning the throat, and who may receive in her throat some small particle of mat? ter containing the germs of the dis? ease. This is most usually done when the child involuntarily coughs while the throat is undergoing treatment. The germs of diptheria are very resist? ant to treatment, and live and thrive in spite of much exposure. It is very difficult to recognize the disease in some children, and some physicians undoubtedly call ordinary easily cured throat inflamation diph? theria, in order to reap undeserved re? ward as being skillful in the treat? ment of diphtheria. The fact that in? fants and some older children have the reprehensible habit of putting ev? erything to or in the mouth makes the dangers of this disease among chil? dren greater. The same precautions are needed here as in scarlet fever. A San with Three Legs. Of late years I have lost all trace of my old and oddly malformed friend, George Leppert, whom I first met at Tiffin, O., in 1884. George was a Bavarian by birth, and came to this couutry. 12 years ago, settling at Baltimore where he followed the trade of a wood-carver. Should you happen to meet him on the street you would notice nothing peculiar either in his gait or general makeup, unless it was that the right leg of his trousers was something near twice the size of the left, and too full to wrinkle besides. This lopsided appearance was caused by a re? markable malformation. Mr. Leppert being the notover proud possessor of two right legs and one left; or, in other words, of three perfectly formed lower limbs. I often remarked to him that should nature, through some of her odd freaks, choose to increase my normal supply of legs by 50 oer cent. I would do my best to play the ?100-a-week fiddle in a dime museum before the setting of an sun on the day following the addition of tbe extra member to my anatomy. But George was modest, not to say somewhat '"touchy," on the subject of extra legs, and would usually answer me by giving vent to one of bis gruff across the-water grunts, or by declaring that he wished that I could be fixed up with a "full half dozen legs and twice that m&ny feet." I could only get even with this last remark by informing him in a half joking way that I had never really pined to be a monstrosity, but that had "great? ness been thrust upon me" I would cer? tainly take advantage of my misfortune and make more money out of it than all tbe wood-carvers and item-cbasers in town could hope to realize by their com? bined efforts. But George would never talk about exhibiting himself, not even when I of? fered to act as busiuess manager, seeming to prefer to pursue the "even tenor of his way " and to conceal, as tar as possible, his ''misfortune and affliction." He often told me that when he was a small boy in his Bavarian home he had perfect use of all three of bis legs, but when I saw him last?in 1887?the extra member waa slightly paralyzed, proba? bly tbe result of being bound to its com fianlon, an operation that was necessary n order to get both in one trousers leg. When I last heard from him, in 1891, he was at tbe Bellevue (N. Y.) Hos? pital undergoing treatment for rheuma? tism. _ ? The revelation that a Buffalo pension agent has been instrumental in "robbing the Pension Bureau of a round million of dollars, startling as it is, is apparent? ly onjy the prelude to arrests that prom? ise even more sensational developments. In the face of such evidence that pension frauds exist, and have existed for years, it will tax the hardihood of even the hide-bound organs to continue their abuse of the administration for having done its sworn duty to unearth such wrongs. ? The increase of insanity in Georgia has been so rapid that the capacity of the buildings provided for the insane are in? sufficient The trustees report that they are now so overcrowded as to interfere with the comfort and successful treat? ment of the patients. There were only 750 inmates of the asylum in 1873; this year nearly 2.000 were treated, and there were over 1,600 on hand at the close of the year. ? There was a very rich farmer who would never own that he bad anything to be thankful for in the way of profits. The parson once said to him during a very fine harvest season: "Come, Mr. Jones, you can't have nothing to com? plain about this year, at all events!'' *'I can't say that," said the former. "Still you can't say what is amiss." Ho thought a bit, and then replied very grudgingly, "Well, you see, there will ba no spoilt hay for the young calves. Heals S.S;S. Running s. Sores.
