Prof. Huxley on Doga.
’ Pref. Huxley pointed out by the use
>f u diagram, in which force was given
| to die illustration by the skeleton of the
• animal being raised on if* liiiul legs,
j that in internal construction the only
, difference between man and the dog w as
one of size and proportion. There wa*
not a lame in dm one which did not < .*
i t in the other—not a single constitu
ent in the one that was not h* lie fonu 1
ii the other. In the ease of the dog
there was not that which, or, -npiirflcia
examination, answered to tho collar-bone
if the man; but close dissection would
i disclose, in the ease of the lower animal,
a little bimu varying in length from a
third to half an inch, which was indu
bitably a rudimentary collnr-boue. ft
ippeared to be of no functional import
mice, but there it was.
Considering tin* |myeh‘'logical nature
of the dog, the lecturer remarked that
oe might Ire tuet at the outlet with the
objection : " I don’t believe the dog In; -
a mind.” Weil, the only n n*.ui h** had
tor assuming the dog had a mind was
the same reason he hud for iv-mlining
Hint all present had minds. Tie i- was
mi more evidence ot lie* tin t in on* than
in the other, llun a pin into a man and
there was a start and a cry, by which
they came to the conclusion Hint pain
had resulted. Hull a pin into a dog,
and tiiere was a howl and an attempt t i
bite. < sudd they any that the dog Was a
men* piece of animal machinery? ft
was quite true that certain philosopher
had held views of that kind, lad com
mon-sense people were right. At tin*
same time lie was disposed to think that
in dogs the feeling of pain was infinitely
duller than in human being . As to the
other senses belonging to dogs, la* was
inclined to doubt if dogs could see with
anything like the distiiietie '-s of man.
Their hearing wis indisputably very
acute ; lad it was a remarkable fuel that
Halt sense was regulated on a totally dif
Cerent scale in dog* a * compared with
human beings. Did they ever hear ot a
dog taking a pleasure in music? On
Ha* contrary, il seemed to cause him
acute pain, accompanied by a horrible
sort, of fasetnulion, which fastened him
to the spot, nt which lie was subjected to
the torture.
The sense uf smell in n d*>g was ; "iue
tiling marvelous, not only from it deli
ency , Imt lor the tnet that its discrimina
tion of what was agreeable and the re
verse was exactly the opposite of ours.
They never heard of a dog being infatu
ated with lavender water or patchouli;
la* rather reveled in the smells which to
men were a snuri'e of horror and disgust.
Jle had owned a dog which lie frequently
left among tin- tlmiisiiudi l'rei|ucijtiug
Regent's Hurl; to seel etc him ' If behind
a tree. Ho soon as the animal found that
he had lost his master, lie laid his nose
to the ground, and in that maimer very
mol! trocku.l him to hi hiding-place.
That showed the dog laid the power ot
distingtiisluiig tin- purtieular iniKlitiei
tion of the leather of the boots eaus-d
by the wearing of his muster, in eotitva
dirttiru tion to tin; liindiiieaiiotis produced
by lnujdre ls of thimsands of other p -o
ple present. As to tlie ability of dog
to find their way l'roui pun - to place, ho
believed there win nit tltieonseious regi ■
trution in their miuds ol tin- visual pint
ores presented to it in the various track
through which they passed, and Hint tho
memory worked backward until tin- dog
reached his destination. No one could
doubt tlie moral disposition of dogs.
Homo were trustworthy, others more or
less thieves ; some were amiable, other
vicious, and so on. Neither whs there
any doubt that a dog had ideas of equal
ity mul inequality. They could easily
settle that by offering a dog n large and
small piece of meat on the samo dish,
and li.v observing which he took first,
Indeed, there wits no fundamental fac
ulty e nm-i-ti-il with the reasoning pow
ers that, might not be demonstrated to
exist in dogs.

The greatest variety of symptoms were
found to accompany their presence, due to
peculiarities of the constitution, the part
of the body most -oriously affected, and
tlie efforts of the different organs to rid the
system of these germs. Among the most
common were frequent headaches, neu
ralgic pains, nausea, constipation, poor or
variable ap|>etitea. dimrrluei, had breath,
hectic lever, cough, night -wests, cold ex
tremities. dyspepsia, catarrh, sore throat,
sore eyes, etc., while where the skin was
affected, salt-rheum, boils, carbuncles,
scurf skin, erysipelas, St. Anthony’s fire,
and other symptoms were common, and
ail gradually but witli certainty were
cured by the same means. The hectic
fever so often met with in consumption,
with ttic hacking or tearing cough, uight-
MWeats, diarrho-1, and other symptoms due
to the efforts of nature to throw off and

Victoria's Good Heart.
There is an advantage, after all, in be
ing a Queen ns well ns n woman, when
a heroic act is to be recognized in an ef
fective as well ns a tender way. And it
must l>e acknowledged that Queen Vic
toria never fails to tint! this, her preroga
tive, witli udmirnble and fine discretion.
Two English soldiers, it will be rent- m
bered, Melville and Cogltill, were killed
at the battle of Isandula, Ztilnland,
while bravely attempting to re-scti.■ the
colors of their regiment. Their widows
were pensioned, of course, but tic
Queen’s own womanly hear t suggested
a further and more gracious recompense.
Hhe sent out by the Empress Eugenie
two wreaths, and the Empress, after sh *
had made iter pilgrimage to the spit
wltere her son was killed, continued liei
journey to find tin- graves of these ob
scure English soldiers and to lay tint
wreaths upon them with her own
liands. She wrote afterward n letter tc
the Queen describing the wild, grand
spit where they are buried, the heroic
circumstances of their death, as she had
la-i-n able to learn them, adding a few
words of earnest sympathy for them mid
congratulations for the sovereign v.-ho
had men so brave to lose ; all of which
the Queen copies ill her own hand and
sends with a letter of earnest syrup thy
to the widows of tiie dead lien* -. C- i
- there is something in Icing a
woman as well as a Queen. Even to a
practical American mourning for In r
dead, the knowledge that these two
women, who had lteen seated upon
thrones, had suffered precisely like her
self, and held out their hands to her in
sympathy, would bring a certain conso
lation. To loyal Englishwomen the ten
scribbled words would outvalue ail pen
sions or rewards.

practice. If care is taken to keep the
sheep sc- that the wool will not lv filled

FLeeces should lie done up with care,
nicely reilli-d and securely tied with

without any tags, etc., he will obtain
tlie highest price. Everywhere, but
