 An Educated Chimpanzee. [Dr Alfred E. Brehm, in Popular Science Monthly ] I was once the owner of highly edu- cated chimpanzee. He knew all the friends of the house, all our acquaintances, and dis tinguished them readily among strangers. Everyone treating him kindly he looked up- on as a personal friend. He never felt more than when he was admitted to the family circle and allowed to move freely around, and open and shut doors, while his joy was boundless when he was assigned 8 place at the common table, and the guests admired his natural wit and practical jokes. He expressed his satisfaction and thanks to them by drumming furiously on the table. In his numerous moments of leisure his favorite occupation consisted in Investigating carefully every object in his reach; he lower ed the door of the stove for the purpose of watching the fire, opened drawers, rummaged boxes and trunks and played with their con- tents, provided the latter did not look sus- picious to him. How easily his suspicion was aroused in his mind might be illustrated by the fact that, as long as he lived, he shrank with terror from every common rub Der ball. Obedience to my orders and attach Lnent to my person, and to anybody caring for him, were among his cardinal virtues, and he bored me with his persistent wishes 10 accompany me. He knew perfectly his time for retiring, and was happy when some one of us carried him to the bedroom like 8 baby. As soon as the light was put out he would jump into the bed and cover himself, because he was afraid of the darkness. His favorite meal was supper with tea, which he was very ford of, provided it was largely sweetened and mixed with rum. He sip ped it from the cup, and ate the dipped bread-slices with spoon, having been taught not to use the fingers in eating; he poured his wine from the bottle and drank it from the glass; A man could hardly behave him. self more gentlemanlike at the table than did that monkey.
