wives up 10 the platform and introduce them

up and introduce themselves. The editor
lakes me warmly by The hand, and wants to
know where the next number Of his paper
will reach me. If stay over night with my

people to see me Of In the morning, and
I hear It stated over and above board
that If should come to that town again the
hall wouldn't be large enough 10 hold the peo-
pie. Little boys on the street are respectful.
But when tail nobody is to be introduced.
The editor who in the afternoon said he must
be sure and see me after the lecture slips or
home. His paper doesn't reach me either (un-
lees 1t reaches me under the anh rib.) The
secretary hands me the stipulated amount with
frlgid polIteness, and departs. AsI pass along
the sidewalk on my way to the hotel hear
some little boy shout shumbugr In voice of
startling shrillness. The landlord surveys me
with look of pity as enter-he has heard all

INTELLIGENCE IN BRUTES.
Come Of rho Curiosfties OF Animal Life.

.There can be no doubt" writes Mr.. Dar-
win. ssthat dogs feel shame as distinct from
fear, aud something very like modesty, when
begging too often Tor food. A great dog scorns
the snarllng OF little dog, aad this may be
called mag1animity. Several observers have
stated that monkeys certainly disliked being
laughed at, and they sometimes invent imsgi-
nary offences. In the zoologicals gardens
saw baboon that always got Into q furi-
GUS rage when It's keeper took out letter
or book and read 1t aloud to him, aud hfs
rage was 80 violent that. as I Witnessed
on one occasion, he bit his own leg
until the blood flowed. All animals
the latter quality afforiing opportunity for
hunters, 10 many paris of the world, to decoy
the game In their power. The faculty of lmta-
tion, 30 strongly developed In man, especially
in barbarous state, is present IN monkeys.
A certain bull terrier OF our acquaintance,
when he wishes to go out Of the room jumps
at the handle of the door and grasps 1t With
his paws, although he cannot himself turn the
handle. Parrots also reproduce with wonder
full fidelity the tones of different speakers,
and puppies reared by cats have been known
TO lick their feet and wash their faces after
the manner of their foster mothers. Atten-
tion and memory also are present in the
lower animals, and 1t is impossible to deny
that the dreams Of dogs and horses show the
presence of Imagination or that certain sort
ofreason Is also present. Animals also profit BY
experience, as any man realizes who sets
traps. The young are much more easily
caught than the old, and the adults gain
caution by seeing the fate Of those which are
caught. Tools are used by some of the higher
apes. The chimpanzee uses stone to crack
a nut resembling walnut, and the Abysslnian
baboons fight troops of another species, and
roll down stones In the attack before they
finally close In o hand-to-hand encounter.
The idea of property Is common also to every
dog with bone, to all birds with their nests,
and notably In the case Of rocks. Nor can q
certain kind of language be denied to the
brutes. The dog communicates his feelings
by barks of different tones, which undoubtedly
raise in his fellow-dogs ideas similar to those
passing in his own mind"
