Xleinflakaktle Instances of 1ntellig- enoe in ReaSte' Birds and Insects, Wo human being's ale very Weed Of OUI' superior powers of 1'eadoning, but It should ' slake us feel humble to realize that hardly a eiilgie boast, bird, orinsect oxists which has not powers quite beyond us to Md.. tate—often even to understand, Take Such an everyday example as the building of a' nest by a bird. A marl could not build a 'house for himself without much teaching. A bird weaves its wonderful home, choosing always the brat of material, the very 'first year of its life, More than this, the bird knows just bow to harmonize its nest with its sur- roundings, so that enemies will pass it unnoticed, Nor is the nest ever built among branches which are rot- ten or liable to be snapped by even a heavy gale. Without the mechanical aid of the compass man would never darn to venture out of sight of land. Yet a swallow, only six months old, starts upon a two -thousand -mild migra- tion. AS CALMLY AS ANY OLD stager ; and not only that, but will keep along the same fly -lines which its ancestors have used for uncount- ed ages. It is calculated fated that the various civilized nations of the world spend three and a half milliono a year in neteorolocal observations, made with the object of forecasting the weather. After centuries of experi- ment, our greatest authorities can now snake certain of foretelling the weather correctly for twenty-four hours in advance in 82 per cent. of cases. Compare this result with the weather lore of the animal and in- sect kingdom. Swallows and swifts and nightjars, and dozens 01 other insect -eating birds, aro able to fore- tell the first cold snap of winter a full fortnight in advance, and so de- part before their food supply rues short. While the sky was still bright and cloudless, and the barometer had shown no sign of fall, red ants have been seen to come out of their boles in the ground, and to migrate, with all their eggs and young to a safer spot. • IN SOME MYSTERIOUS fashion these insects know when heavy rain is coming long before any sign of change is perceptible to man, A man must have long and careful training to make him expert in the use of an axe. The great test for a clever axeman is to be able to throw a tree in any desired direction. Yet a beaver can do this without, any training at all. lie knows—instinct- ively as we say—where to make the proper cuts so as to throw the trunk into tho stream to help build the dam. The beaver knows also exactly how strong to build vis- dam so that it may resist any flood pres- sure and allow the surplus water to run over its top. The coli of a honey -bee is a perfect hexagon. No human creature could fashion a single such cell without dainty instruments for measuring. Yet the bee turns them out by the thousand merely by inherited in- stinct. Bees also have a sense of temperature fax beyond that of the most sensitive man or woman. Waren the warmth increases sentinels are put to WORK AT THE ENTRANCE to fan fresh air into the hive. When it is too cool, they close up the en- trance, and cut off the supply of cold air. In the same way, ostriches, alliga- tors, snakes, and many other crea- tures which trust their eggs to na- tural heat for hatching, seem blessed with an exact perception of how deep they should be buried, or what amount of rotting vegetation should be piled upon them to create the necessary warmth. The mound -build- ing bird of Australia makes a trot bed to hatch its eggs with a skill which the most experienced gardener would have difficulty in matching. Children, if left to themselves, will put anything they may. get hold of into their mouths, and every year there are many cases of lives being lost by their poisoning themselves in this fashion. Wild creatures are gift- ed with some sense which enables them to tell what is wholesome and what is not. Although domestic ani- mals, such as horses and cows, will sometimes kill themselves by eating yew and poisonous weeds, yet really wild animals never throw their lives away in this fashion ; and even when trappers have hidden poison in bait for, wolves and foxes it is buts rarely that such treacherous food is touched, --London Answers.

It is not generally known that Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman is a poet, when a youth he indulged in much verse -writing till an unkind friend ridiculed him out of it.

Princess Vic- UM ic PRIZES FOR GOOD TENANTS. A curious and interesting plan has been adopted in Glasgow by certain landlords who, having improved much of their stunt property, have been mar. tm•aliy desirous to keep' :it in good condition. It consists in offering prizes to tenants who behave them- selves well and pay their .rent Promptly. All tenants who fulfil those conditions are allowed in sum - mar to live rent free for a fortnight, so that if they take a holiday they need not pay double rant, The plan has worked ,splendidly, and over 60 per cont, of the tenants have claimed the prize. TREY CANNOT UNDERSTAND, Oshawa, Ont:, Feb. 24.—(Special)— One effect of the publication far and wide through the press of the mir- aculous cure of a case of paralysis hero in Oshawa has been to bring to the surface a great many similar- ly wonderful and well authenticated cures by the same remedy—Dodd's Kidney Pills, Mr, Brown, whose case has caused all the sensation, is a modest unas- suming mechanic employed in the Oshawa Malleable Iron Works, Since the publication of the facts of his case he has been overwhelmed with letters of inquiry from all over the country, and to each of these he answers simply • "Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me after all the doctors and hospital specialists had given me up. I couldn't walk and had to bo fed like a baby for four months, but the pills soon fixed me up and I have been all right ever since." Iia has also been in receipt of not a few letters from others who too have foe nd Dodd's Kidney Pills a life-saving remedy when all else had failed, Several of these, encouraged by Mr. Brown's example, have written to the papers reporting their cases and all are very enthusiastic in their praises of the medicine.

She Tells How Little Ones Can be Kept Well, Contented and KapPy. When baby is cross and irritable you may rest assured he is not well, even if you are unable to see any symptoms of his illness other than fretfulness. It is not natural for a baby' to be cross and he is not so without reason. He has no other way of telling his troubles than by crossness and crying, When baby is cross price him Baby's Own Tablets, and they will soon make him good- natured and happy, because they will cool his hot little mouth, ease his sour little stomach and help his obstinate little teeth through painlessly. Theso Tablets aro just what every mother needs for her lit- tle ones—and her older children too: Mrs. Clarence McKay, lioseway, N.S., says :—"I find Baby's (awn Tablets the best medicine I have ever used for my little ones. When my baby was four months old he was very much troubled with indi- gestion. Ile world vomit his food as soon us he tools 3t. no matter what I gave him and he scented to be always hungry and kept thin and delicate. Ile also mitered from con- stipation. After giving him the Tablets a few days the vomiting ceased and his bowels became re- gular, and 1 must say that since I began the use of the Tablets I have had less trouble with this baby than I had with any of the rest of my children." Every mother shoald keep Baby's Own Tablets in the house at all times—there is no toll- ing when of emergency may arise. These, 'Tablets are a certain cure for all the rninc,r ailments of little ones, such as constipation, indiges- tion, colic, diarrhoea, sour stomach, and simple fever.
