John Burroughs, who has written ..t<ruch on animal instinct during the past two or three years, discusses the • a- (subject again in the current number or ,Tho Atlantic. It -goes . without saying -...that he concedes mooning to the "nature fc.kers," but i1 he does not eiFalt the animals over whose reasoning faculties they marvel neither is he wild with en- thusiasm for the superior intelligence -of human beings. Perhaps, the contem- .p`ation of nature fakers has caused film "'to have doubts. ...--Instinct, he says, is an inherent, un- tenacious intelligence, a faculty which : is constant in its operation, and, though not inerrant, Ls free from the 'vacillations and failures of human res- son It is analogous to that something • it( the plants which determines their forms, theecolor of their flowers, and, ,their times and seasons. He returns ;o the beaver for an illustration, asserting •that this animal in building its dam "works as blindly, that is an inevitably and unconsciously—as free from indt- vidual init!atly-e—as it does in developing • Its chisel -like teeth or its broad trowel - like tail." Again he says that the so- called intelligence of the. tower animals is largely like that of•the rills that land their way to the sea, or of the seeds or the plants that and- their way to -their `proper habitat. • What can be done by.instinct is truly Swenderful, _ but quite as suggestive • a the stupidity of the creatures .which have no guide but instinct. Mr. Burrougns bar seen birds dash themselves against windows hour after hour, incited there - .to by the reflection of their own images.. _which they regarded evtdentiy as rivals. And they finally desisted "not because, —they saw they were the dupes of their • 'own jealousy. ,but from sheer •exhaus- tion." - Many other instances are given of the, inability of saniMata to protect •themselves by any use of a reasoning - power: . With man only le adaptation a mat- . --ter of thought end- calculation, and • man's wit differs from the wit of unie r•r- - :• cal nature in that it plays 'n3;Je the . letter and. has a certain mastery over it {tad works to partial and personat. ends. taut ever .all and under all and through el' is the universal Intelligence. the cats tnic' mind, and Mr.• Burroughs pursues" the thought until• he acknow!edees that lie is in deep waters and quite :rseh ids head.- He is ednvinced; however, that "the larger imbuements of humanity art • probably .as much the result of the ou- etation of natural law es are the move- - rtents of the animals?'

He says: "A year ago my daughter,, a girl of thir- teen. was very weak. • She was so ill that I feared she was going into con- sumption. '!'hough I tried remedy after remedy she remained in this state for several months and 1 began, k, think she never would get better. I read of the good Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had been in a case of anaemia, so got some .for her. Soon she began lo 'improve; her appetite returned; she grew strong; color came into her cheeks and to -day she is as healthy as any young girl could be. L firmly. be- lieve Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved her life-" ' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are equally as successful in bringing those of ma- ture age back to health as they are •tn building up the young.

SHOULD THE DOCTOR TELL? — — In Regard to Whether His Patient's Disease is Fatal? "Ought the doctor to tell hs paUent 1: unlit), what is the matter with him, even though the disease be a fatal one?" This question, raised by the censure 41 a coroner's jury of a doctor whose pa - .t. told that he had consumption, committed suicide, was disch-ssed by e Harley street, London physician lately. . Speaking to a London Daily Mail rep- resentative, he divided patients into (1) those who want' to know the truth, (2) lhose • who already know, but hope to be told that things are not so badand ill gladly swallow a lie; and 4) those who do. not want to know anything. "The majority of patients," he said, "leave • the doctor no alternative. They demand r 'yes' or 'no.' Takeheart dis- ease The patient says: 'Is my heart diseased?' • He is paying for your ;opin- ion, and you reply: 'Your heart is net sound; it is weak. Don't run to catch trains, and do not do this and that!' "The trouble is that heart disease to thc public means one thing _ally— death. If it Meant a variety' or more or less grave affections of the heart we should not perhaps have those 'stand and deliver' questions. Another ques- Sfon is: 'How long shall 1 live?'

When the two people who picked tiim up and removed the gag from his mouth unbound his limbs, and gave him time to explain the. details • f what had happened to him, he told a strange story -a story that speaks vol- umes for the daring and brutality -of !be "thugs" that haunt • Montreal's sheets, highways, byway&; and public parks in the hours of the evening.; While passing through the park on Fri- day `night, he was. uttucked by thugs, who, after robbing,. gagged • and bound hfm.
