Humor IN Amman.

a writer in Nature contributes to the
! general fund the following anecdotes oI
kthe 0rang- outang and the SKYE terrier
In watching the behaviour of an orano.
outang confined in the Geological Car.
dens at London, the writer became con.
vlnced that the animal created fun FL,
the spectators gathered around her
rom genuine appreciation and eniov.
ment OF the ludicrOus. For instance. the
pan from which. the creature fed was 81
a quite peculiar shape, and sometimes
when meal was ended and the dist
empty, the Orang-Outang would clan Il
upon her head, in which position il bore
comical resemblance to a bonnet. with
broad grin upon her face, the animal
would then face the spectators, and evi.
IDENTIFY feel qualification at her success
in provoking a hearty laugh among
them.
A Skye terrier belonging to the same
writer had store of amusing tricks
which were undeniably selfta9ght, and
performed for the sake of exciting lauoh-
ter. One of these was, while lVinv nm
its side and violently grinning. to 'poke
one leg into its mouth and hold If there.
II the little joke was not noticed, the doc
fell into the sulks; but when it was snc.
cessful in awakening laughter, the per.
former was highly delighted. On the
other hand, nothing displeased the dog
so much as being laughed at when he did
intend to play the Merry-Andrew.
1t Is said that monkeys dislike to be
laughed at, and dogs sometimes evince
the same aversion to serving as the butt
Of human ridicule. The writer from
whom we have already quoted gives the
following instance: A dog of his ac-
quaintance had fOndness for catching
flies on the windOw-panes; but, if rallied
when unsuccessful in the effort betrayed
the greatest annoyance. On one occa-
sion, the writer purpOsely laughed i'm
moderately every time the dog failed to
capture his game; and it so happened that
he failed several times in succession-be.
ing. as the writer believes, disconnected
by the derision his ill-success called forth.
Finally, he became so distressed that he
actually feigned to catch the fly, going
through all the appropriate actions with
his lips and tongue, and afterwards rub
bling the floor with his neck as if to kill
his victim. When the whole perform
ance was concluded, he looked up at the
writer with triumphant air of success.
So well did the dog simulate the entire
process, that, had not the fly still re-
manned on the window to convict him of
deceit, his ruse would have been undis-
covered. When; however, his attention
was called to the fly, as well as to the alb
sence of any remnants of one upon the
floor, he saw that his hypocrisy was I'M
derstoOd, and skunk away under some fur
niture, as if exceedingly ashamed Of him
self.

Shooting Niagara.

In September. 1929, the owner of the
schooner Michigan, the largest and rot
tenest craft on Lake Erie, hit upon plan
20 get It of his hands, and at the same
time not lose cent. He induced the
pr0prietOrs of hotels on both sides OF
Niagara Falls to buy the schooner and
send It over the falls, counting on the
crowds that would be drawn there to
witness the novel sight for their pay.
For several days previous to the great
event, the stages and the canal boats, and
wagons from the country were crowded.
Farmers left their fields and business
men their counters. On the appointed
day half q dozen excursion steamers were
called into service. Each had its thrOng
of expectant people and band of music.
The task Of towing the Michigan to the
rapids was intrusted to Captain Rough
and five stout-hearted 0arsmen. They
let loose on board a buffalo from the
Rocky Mountains, three bears from
Green Bay and Grand River, two foxes,
q racc0oM a. dog. cat, four geese, and
put upG some effigies. When they cut
the tow line this extraordinary crew did
what many other crews have done, run
from one end of the deck to the other in
despair. The ship started off majesti-
cally and seemed to greet with smile
the high shores on either side crowded
with eager spectators. She darted
through the first rapids as true as any
pilot could have led her. Two of the
bears here plunged into the yeasty rapids
and actually swan to land and were
caught, The other set to work climbing
the mast. On she went, making a plunge
shipping sea and rising from it i'm beau
tifal style At her bowsprit was the
American ensign and at her stern the
English jack. In her descent over the
second rapids her mast "went by the
board.r She swung round and present
ed her broadside to the dashing and
foaming waters, and after remaining sta.
tionary for moment or two was, by its
force, swung round, stern foremost, anC
having passed to the third rapids she
bilged but carried her hull apparently
whole, between Grass Island and the
British shore to the Horseshoe, over
which she was carried, stern foremost
and launched into the abyss below, and
dashed into thousand pieces. The Cat
and dog and the foxes were never heard
Of more; but the geese, bless their
little hearts, were found below on the
bang qaietly 0iling their feathers. The
efiigy Of Andrew Jackson was also found
uninjured-like the geese-thrOwing his
arms about and knocking his knees to-

Southern Girls.

Miss Constance FenimOre WOOlson
writes from the south to northern paper
that "you can tell a southern girl at once.
She is rOunder than her northern sisters
indeed, she is never thin or lank she
walks with languid step, and all her
movements are slow and indolent she is
never alert. She has fine, soft eyes, with
serene expression, very different from
the quick, keen eyes of the north; she
has not the beautiful red and white COM
plexion of New York and New England,
rather is she sallOw, with few rose tints
you might call her cream color. She
never looks anxious, no matter what hap
pens; she does not think she can help
matters by her advice or interference,
but sits back calmly and leaves every
thing to " Brother" or '' Pa" pronounc-
ing the latter word in a way 1 defy a
northern girl to initiate. The word
might be used as a shibboleth; it is not
exactly "Pay," but halfway between
that and the sound of Ga" i'm scat. .
Our southern girl dresses picturesquely
rather than trinity, and has brighter col
Ors and more floating ends and curls
about her than northern belle allows.
She has pretty, plump hands, but she is
not particular about the gloves that COW
er them-I mean particular compared
with Fifth avenue rules. In short she is
a more vOluminOus sort of a girl i'll every
way, and cares less about the fashion,
She has one decided advantage over the
northern girls, however, and that is her
| voice, it is sweeter and lower, a little
trainate, perhaps, but essentially gentle
and wOmanly. l cannot speak so highly
of the southern men, the young men OF
to-day. They do not seem to know ex-
actly what they represent. They have
neither the calm certainty of importance
possessed by the old-time southerner, MOI
the bright, active energy and ambition
OF the young nOrtherner. They are
either swept down, bewildered by the
stream, or else, having dritted ashore in
some little bay, they sit on the bank and
talk about their ancestors. A younger
race is growing up, however, with idea;
more adapted to the times"

Some weeks ago Mark Twain offered a
reward of $205 for the return of his UNI
brella, stolen by boy, and for the body
of the thief, not alive. Last week he re-
ceived by express box containing the
corpse of small boy, and the affair Gre
ated intense excitement until it was as
certained that it came from the Cam
bridge Medical Institute. Mark came
very near having his joke taken in too
practical a manner. ~
