THE HOMING INSTINCT.
Ability of Various Itird* and Animals to
Find I heir Way Home.
i The homing instinct develops in
j youug animals almost as early as the
; desire for food. In the wild state it
is a necessity, since without it the
young could never keep in touch with 1
j herd or pack. Even after centuries c
of domestication it is still acute. *
Witness this tale of little pigs: They t
were under a mouth old when their I
owner decided to move. He wauted c
, to fatten and kill their mothers, so ;
offered the lot of forty at a bargain \
price. A neighbor live miles away *
( bought the pigs, put them iu a big *
; box, hoisted the box on a wagon and
lmnlo.l it lmni.v There the oicrs were I S
j put in a closed pen, fed on milk and ?
j musli for two weeks, then allowed to c
run iu a small lot adjacent the pen. 1
; Three mornings later every one was J
missing. A small hole carefully rooted s
nuder tko gate was the solo explana- \
I tion of their disappearance. Their j
; buyer searched high and low for them, (
. sendir veu to adjacent farms, but i
I could l,.? liud them. That afternoon i
I the original owner sent word he had j
i found thirty-nine of the forty stand- 1
' iug squealing at his gate when ho 1
! awoke. The buyer goiug to reclaim 1
, the strays, found the missing fortieth ;
; pig lying exhausted by the roadside, j
still struggling to follow the trail of ^
its mates.
Upon the same middle Tennessee
, plantation a four-year-old mare was j
bought from an Ohio drove. The t
drove had been brought down on j
stock cars to the county town, seven t
miles away. The mare seemed per- i
; fectly content in her new surround- j
; ings, so after a week or two she was (
' allowed to pasture with other stock. ?
> i J 1
ror a uay sue was uuppy, uun
frolicking with the rest. Toward 1
noon of the second day a watcher saw J
I her suddenly fling up her head, cock ;
ono ear forward, one back, as though j
listening intently to a far off call,
then start in a swinging gallop for the ;
pasture fence, clear it with a flying ^
leap, cross a field of young corn, take
j the boundary fence, a much stift'er one, ]
and go away due north. Nothing more t
was seen or heard of her for three I
months. Then by a singular chance i
she was discovered, impounded as an ?
estray, moro thau half way across the 1
State of Kentucky. She had swum a
considerable river to get so far, and '
had been taken up, through breaking '
into a pasture to graze. She was go- j
I ing home straight as the crow flies,
i ? i? * 1
j WUixlUg I1U UUW'UUUt nunicioi vi iuw
' bends and turns in the route by which j
she tfad been fetched.
Among fowls, domestic turkeys are ]
' the most persistent homers. This <
same plantation's mistress found that ]
out in a way at once odd and provok- (
iug. She raised a brood of fourteen, ,
which turned out to contain thirteen ;
gobblers/ They were tine lusty bronze- ]
brown fellows, although this was in ]
; the year when brouze turkeys, so- i
called, were unknown. She gave
away seven out of the thirteen to as '
many neighbors, to put at the head of [ I
their breeding flocks. As a couse- ; ?'
quence, almost every day for six weeks 1
she had to go out and help to sepa- *
rate her own turkeys from some other
flock. Each of the gift gobbbler3 '
came back homo, not once but mnuy j ^
times, with his harem at his heels. ! ,
Cats are proverbial homers.
Trout FtMhiii? in J^orirny,
I Several English sportsmcu have '
; written home from their sojourn in J
: Norway describing the exciting sport
1 of "brook" trout fishiug on that side j
j of the peninsula, wkero cowflys and ;
gnats are unknown and the fisherman i
is not stricken with hay fever. The i
I absence of the tourist, too, is said to i
add much to the pleasure of the sport I
amid the primitive scenes on the snowy <
banks of the Norwegian streams, where <
are clustered little hamlets of sheep
' herders and farmers. According to
one writer, "Iu the larger sheets of
water the fish vary considerably, not
only in size, but in condition, and a
prize in the shape of a well-fed two- J
pounder occasionally turns up. When '
such a specimen has been secured, it '
is well to lay him in the nearest snow- '
drift, instead of carting him about for
hours; his golden coat contrasts ad- ;
mirably with the pure white surface, '
and he eats all the better afterward, j
When the limits of his little excursion ; '
are reached, and the keen air and ; (
violent exercise have induced thoughts J
of dinner, the angler, after placing i ,
layer of fern or wild strawberry leaves ! .
over the fish, may top-dt ess his basket j ,
with lily of the valley gathered from :
some rocky ledge, and return to his [ ;
rustic quarters invigorated alike in ,
body and mind." This seems indeed I j
a trout li-diermnsds paradise, and it is ' ,
not strange that tho wary but spry
trout should thin!: any fly in tho boot '
a luxury, au I grasp it accordingly. I

SENATE.
One Hundred and Forth Day?After
i brief debate the Senate agreed to the
onferenee report on the Hawaiian eiv1
government bill, the provisions reining
to the right of franchise and im)risonment
for debt having been amenled
to conform to the ideas of the Sen
ite. The agricultural mpropriatiot
)ill was parsed, carrying a little over
!3.000.(i00. It aroused no discussion of
onsequence. although the committee
imendrnent's reduction of the amounts
tppropriated for farmers' bulletins and
)r the distribution of seeds were disigrecd
to. The resolution declaring
S'athan 13. Scott to be entitled to his
;eat as a Senator from West Virginia
vas discussed by Mr. McComas, of Ma.
yland. but its consideration was not
onciuueu. i ne Aiasnau civn governnent
bill was under consideration for
tn hour, but no progress was made
\t the conclusion of routine business
Vlr. Cullom presented the conference
eport on the Hawaiian bill. He explained
that the principal changes
vere the elimination of the provisions
equiring the payment of taxes before
egistration to vote, and imprisonment
'or debt for nonpayment of taxes.
One Hundred and Fifth Day.?Almost
the entire day was devoted to
he consideration of the right of N'a.han
B. Scott, of West Virginia, to rc
tain his seat in the Senate. Mr. Fetus,
Alabama, who alone of the memiers
of the committee on privileges
ind elections is opposed to the claim
if Mr. Scott to a seat, made an elaborite
argument to sustain his views. Mr.
Morgan, Alabama, spoke in favor of
lis colleague's contention. Mr. McConas.
Maryland, Mr. Turley, Tennessee,
Mr. Chandler, New Hampshire, Mr.
Feller, Colorado, and Mr. Allen. Nebraska,
addressed the Senate in support
of the resolution declaring Mr.
Scott entitled to his seat. The case
vent over without action.
A resolution introduced by Mr. Pertins,
California, calling on the Secreary
of the Treasury to send to the
Senate the imports by months and the
ates of duty under the reciprocal
igTeement that went into effect in 1S93,
vas adopted.
One Hundred and Sixth Day.?'inc
Senate voted upon the resolution dedaring
Nathan B. Scott to be entitled
to his seat in the Senate from West
Virginia. The number of votes in the
negative was only 3. Mr. Chandlir
;ave notice that he would call up the
lase of Senator Clark, of Montana, on
Wednesday of next week, but intimated
that he would not press consideration
until the Senators could
lave time to reau the testimony in the
?ase. Mr. Money, of Mississippi, by
ananimous consent, called up a bill to
amend an act to provide for the collection
of abandoned property and the
prevention of frauds in insurrectionary
districts within the United States.
One hundredth and seventh day.?
Phe following bills were parsed: For
he establishment, control, operation
ind maintenance of the northern
jranch cf the National Home for Disabled
\'olnnteer Soldiers at Hot

One Hundred and Forth Day?
Without preliminary business the
House resumed consideration of the
postoffice appropriation bill. The item
appropriating $725,000 for pneumatic
Lube service, an increase of $500,000
pver the appropriation for the current
year was the subject of two hours debate
under the arrangement previously
made.
Mr. Little, of Arkansas, opposed the
pneumatic tube service, which he held
was unnecessary and the charges for
:crv?ro in Ww York he said, were
outrageously exorbitant. The government
was paying $37,000 a mile rental
for 6-ineh iron pipe beside the cost of
operating the machines.
After mature deliberation the House
refused to pass the bill.
One Hundred and Fifth Day.?After
four days of dlscusstrn the House completed
the consideration of the Postcffiee
appropriation bill and passed it.
The attempt to strike out the $19(1.000
for special mail facilities from New
York to New Orleans and from Kansas
City to Newton. Kansas, met the
fate it has ever since the appropriation
was placed in the bill in 1893. No
one demanded a separate vote upon the
amendment striking cut the pneumatic
tube provision, and the House by a
large majority, stood by the amendment
to give extra compensation to
l? tter carriers for wnrk in excess of
forty-eight Lours a week, alt-hough the
carriers were said by Mr. Cumming--.
New Yo:k, to be opposed to it. The
