WHICH OF THE SPECIES CONTROLS YOUR SPIRIT? Or Mrla Ton Are, aa the Writer of This Article Intimate That no. Analysis May Prove, a Waole Men-aa-erle la Yourself. Of all animals upon earth man came last. - All ot earth's animal creations dre bound up in man. As to the first state ment there is no difference of opinion. The Bible and Darwin agree that man was created last of all the animals. Very superficial observation will con vince 'you that man contains in his men tal make up all of the "inferior" animals, or at least a great many of them. Yon, Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith, who read this are in your single self a sort of synthesis of the entire animal creation. If you could be divided into your component animal parts, there would be a menagerie In your house, and you, Smith or Jones, would be missing. That thing we call a soul would be floating around, impalpa ble, looking for its house to live In. Of course you can see the animal make up in your" neighbor more readily than m yourself. How dot men describe eaoh other? Do they not speak as follows and mean ex actly what they say: "He is as sly as a fox." "He eats like a pig." "He has doglike faithfulness." "lie is as brave as a lion." "He is as treacherous as a snake." "He was as hungry as a wolf," etc. . . Our good and our bad qualities alike are mapped out in our humble animal re lations. The horse stands- for ambition, which strives and suffers in silence. The dog represents friendship, which suffers ana sacrifices much, but whines loudly when injured. We have no doubt that of the 12 passions which enter into Cou rier's complex analysis or man each has its prototype in some one animal. To rebel at the animal combination which makes up a man would be folly. The Maker of us all, from ants up, nat urally gathered together the various parts 'in lower animal form before finishing the work of man. A harmoniously bal anced mixture of all the animals is cal culated undoubtedly to produce the per fect man. Therefore study your animal make up. Analyze honestly and Intelligently the so called "lower creatures from whom you derive your mental characteristics. If you have not yet done so, study at once some good work on embryology and learn with amazement and awe of your marvelous prenatal transformations. Then dd your best to control the menagerie that Is at work in your mind. Stupefy Mr. Pig if he is too prominent. Circumvent Mr. Fox if he tries to rule you and make of you a mere cunning machine. Do not Jet your old dog Tray qualities of friendship lead to your be ing made a fool. ' In short, study carefully the animal qualities that make up your tempera ment and prove in your own person the falseness of Napoleon's irritating state ment that a man's temperament can nev er be changed by himself. It may interest you to note that when man becomes insane the fact is at once made apparent that his mind, dethroned, had acted as the ruler ot a savage men agerie. Many crazy men imagine them selves animals of one sort or another. Nearly all of them display the grossest animal qualities, once their mind is de ranged. Women of "the greatest refine ment sink into dreadful animalism when insane. Heine tells of a constable who in his boyhood ruled his native city. One fine day "This constable suddenly went crazy. And thereupon he began to roar like a lion or squall like a cat." Heine remarks with calculated naivete: "We little boys were greatly delighted at the old fellow, and trooped yelling after him, until he was carried off to a mad house." , There is, by the way, much of the nat ural animal In "little boys." It takes years to mako'a fairly reasonable crea ture of a young human. For that reason many ignorant parents are foolishly dis tressed at juvenile displays of animalism; which are perfectly natural. The same Heine, whose writings you ought not to neglect, describes beautifully a human menagerie .We'll quote that, -and then let you off for the dny. Heine ' was living in Paris in the forties and used to visit a curious revolutionary freak named Ludwig Borne. Of this man's house Heine wrote: ' I found in his salon such a menagerie of people as can hardly be found in the Jardln des Plantes (the Paris zoological garden). In the background several polar bears were crouching, who smoked and hardly ever spoke except to growl out now and then a real fatherland 'Donner wetter,' in a deep bass voice. Near them Was squatting a Polish wolf in a red cap, who occasionally yelped out a silly, wild remark in a hoarse tone. There, too, I found a French monkey, dhe of the most hideous creatures I ever saw. He kept up a series o'f grimaces, each of which seemed more lovely than the last," etc. If Heine's polar bears, wolf and mon key had studied themselves, as we advise you to study yourself, they might have escaped the sarcasm of the sharpest tongue ever born in or out of Germany.

A WOMAN'S EXPEDIENT. - Clever Scheme to Enable as PrloiW to Cut His Way Ont of JaU. "Whenever I see that particular brand of canned peaches," said a New Orleans grocer, indicating a row of tins on the top shelf, "I am reminded of something very queer that happened here several years ugo. One day in the summer of 1800, if 1 remember rightly, a refined looting woman of about 30, dressed In deep mourning, came into the store and bought a couple of cans of California peaches of the brand I have just pointed out. She had a cab and took them with her, and I thought no more of the Inci dent until she returned next day, carry-" ing the tins lu her hand. 'I have a sick brother at she said, naming a small town in Alabama, Vand was intending to send him these eaches, with a bundle of other things, yesterday. But on second thought I believe I will buy a few more delicacies and get you to ship them sepa rately. "There was nothing peculiar about the request, and I assured her 1 would be glad to attend to the matter. She order ed $4 or $5 worth of different articles jellies, olives, marmalade, and so- on paid the bill arid gave me her brother's name, directing the things to be sent to him in car of captain somebody or other at the Alabama town which she mention ed before. As soon as she left I got out a box and began to pack up the consign ment, but as soon as I came to the peaches I noticed that the two cans which, she had returned were both slightly 'blown,' as we call It in the trade. In other words, the tops bulged outward a trifle, indicating that a little fermenta tion had been going oa. Not wishing to send a sick man anything but the best, I set them aside and put In two fresh cans from the shelf. The box was ship ped by the first express. "Nearly six months after this episode," continued the grocer, with twinkling eyes, ".we were cleaning out our old stock and ran across those two cans of peaches. I picked up one of them carelessly and, my hand being wet, a piece of the label came off. You may imagine my surprise to see a lot of small saws soldered to the side of the tin, and on further examina tion we found that they completely en circled the can and that the other was in exactly the same condition. At that I began to have a faint inkling of the truth and lost no time in making a few inquiries. I found that the Alabama captain was the sheriff of his county and the invalid brother had been one of his official guests. He was a burglar and had since been sent to prison for ten years. The scheme was pretty shrewd. In the first" place, the sheriff would not be apt to be suspicious of a package of goods coming direct from a reputable business house, and, even if he opened the cans before giving them to the pris oner, there would be nothing wrong in side. "The cook must have been bitterly dis appointed when he examined the substi tutes that I sent. The saws, as we afterward found out, were highly tem pered and could cut steel bar like yellow pine. Who was the woman in black, did you ask ? I have no idea, probably a Bister or wife or sweetheart. I never laid eyes on her afterward." New Or leans Times-Democrat. He Talked in His Sleep. It precoeiousness is ft sign of early decay, then a Williamsburg mother has reason to worry. Recently she went out to spend the afternoon, and before leaving she instructed her 5-year-old hopeful that he was to take his after noon nap, as usual. Upon her return she asked him if ho had been to sloop during her absence. "Yes, mamma," he replied. But she was not satisfied. "Are you sure you were asleep?" she asked again. "Of course I was," he said again. Turning to the nurse, she said, "Was he asleep while I was away?" "I don't think so, madam. I heard him talking and laughing to himself." "What do you say to that?" turning to the youngster. "I must have been talking in my Bleep," was the calm reply. Still more recently the child was throwing a baseball around the yard, and It broke a large plate glass win dow In the next house. His mother told him his father would punish him upon his return home that night and as a lesson said he must tell his father of the accident and how it happened. The fact that he must tell his father seemed to worry him more than the breaking of the glass. But the mother was Immovable, and that night at sup per he told of the occurrence tearfully, but still defiant. When his father ask ed him If he threw it at the window purposely, he said, "No, but how could I tell it was going to curve?" The pun ishment was remitted. New York Sun., A Bear Aboard Ship. "Bears make good pets," said Lieu tenant Clark. "When I was in the rev enue service at Alaska, we had one on the boat, and he made things hum. We named him Wlneska. He used to climb to the crosstrees, going up hand over hand by the ratlines. One day he" ven tured out on the.yardarm, and there he staid. We had to get a rope and haul him -down. Once he vaulted over the head of our Chinese cook and went into the locker, where he helped him self to sugar aud butter. "We had a tackling made for himi much the same as a harness of a pet dog; and would drop him overboard, with a- rope attached, to take his bath. Once he landed in a native boat and nearly frightened the occupants out of their wits. He was as playful as a kit ten, and, although sometimes he dis obeyed, he was never treacherous or unkind. When he was lost or hid him self, as he often did, we would look in the dark till we Haw two balls of fire. These- were his eyes and gave him away every time."

Por the Arrest and Conviction of the Mur derer ol Two Italians at Frwln, Mississippi Bv Telegraph to the Murataa Star. JaoksonC Miss . July 20 Governor Longino this afternoon -offered $100 reward for the am si aid conviction of each of the murderers of Giovanni ar d Vincenzo Zerio and the wounding of Salvatore Liberto by a mob atEr--wi;, Miss., several days ago. The Governor this morning received a let ter from Secretary Hay enclosing a copy of a note from the Italian -charge d'affaires, in which Secretary Hay asked to be advised whether, the per sons killed were Italian subjects or had been naturalized. Replying to Secretary Hay to-night, Governor Longino states that his private advices are that - none of the Italians named above was a naturalized American cit izen bat that he will make official ia quiry and report later. The Governor advised Secretary Hay that he went in person to Wash ington county the second day after the unfortunate occurrence and learned from the sheriff who had been tele graphed, that the Italian consul at Vicksburg had asked for protection for these Italian subjects. The Governor found that the sheriff upon the receipt of his telegram visited the scene of the murder, but was unable to reach there in time to ascertain the names of the guilty parties. The crime was com mitted under cover of darkness and the murderers fled. The Governor had a conference with the criminal judge and the prosecuting attorney of the county, both of whom expressed a purpose to exercise the full power of the law for the apprehension and pun. ishment of all concerned in the crime. The people of Greenville, the county seat of Washington county, where the murder occurred, held a mass meeting and by resolution deplored and con demned the action of the guilty par ties, and requested a special term of the circuit court in order that the stain may be effectively wiped out by the lawful and .proper punishment of the criminals. The . Governor to-night transmitted a copy of these resolutions to Secretary Hay, whom he assures that every effort will be' made to apprehend and punish the guilty parties. WEARY WILLIES' PARADISE. Why the Hobo That Drift to Central America Sever Drift Back. "A good many typical American hoboes drift down to Central America," said an official of a local banana company, "and one good thiDff about it is that they never got back again. The country seems to suit them up to the hilt. I have been watching the tramp trayel for several years, and it has afforded me considera ble amusement. Some of them scrape up enough money to pay for a deck pas sage, but most of them stow away or go down aa roustabouts. When they land, they generally drift a little distance into the interior, and that settles it. "In Nicaragua and Costa Rica especinl ly life Is very easy for an abletiodied man who has an aversion to working and is not very particular about his surround ings.

Anyhow, he confided to me jast time I saw him that he hadn't done a. lick of work since he struck the country. The natives make a kind of rum out of wild cane, and he gets boiling drunk whenever he feels so inclined. "Altogether it is- an idyllic life for a fellow who has ridden brake beams and dodged constables throughout the inhos pitable states. By advertising the attrac tions ot the country and supplying trans portation we might get rid of the tramp incubus altogether." Xew Orleans Times Democrat.

My girls - are rather ordinary looking not plain; in fact, rather pretty, I think and with fairly good figures, but quite unno ticeable in their appearance. If one were in brown and the other in blue on the street,-no one would, ever Rive them a second glance, but dressed alike they look really distinguished. It is the same in a ballroom. When they go in together in prettyi fresh gowns, they accentuate each other, so to speak, and the simplest toilet becomes striking. A pink bow by itself is a pink bow and nothing else, but two pink bows become- immediately an ar-. rangement. , You see that idea exempli fied on the stage in a ballet.' It is the repetition of dress that gives the effect. If the dancers were in different costumes, it would be lost completely.
