Mollken Affection

~AOfCCD al CCCtOh'
The gorilla of Western Africa lives in
patriarchal and polygamous families, in
which many females and their young
submit to the authority of a single
adult, and the habits of the chimpanzee
arc similar; but the cynoccphale, most
of the smaller species of the African
continent, and American monkeys, live
in considerable troops, in kind ofgcner-.
al sexual promiscuity, in which the love of
the mothers for their young, very strong
while they need it in their weakness,
does not outlive their growth out of
helpless infancy. Similar habits have
been noticed among some savage races;
and traditions arc preserved among
many people Of a time when family
bonds did not exist. But traces of
more durable family bonds between
monkeys Of the same blood seem to exist
| among the chimpanzees and gorillas,
where the appearance of particular and
exclusive affection is combined with
rivalry with the members of other fami-
lies. Savage, in the Boston Journal
| Of Natural History tells of female
chimpanzce which was observed in a
tree with the male and q pair of young
of different sexes. She first started to
! hurry down and run into the thickct
with the male and the young female;
but, seeing the young male left behind,
she went back for him and had taken
him in her arms when she was shot.
Houzeau, in his "Etudes," compares
this trait with the Indifference with
which the New Zealand mother slw
Cook take away her son, probably for
ever, as she was expressly informed.
Houzeau also finds traces of paternal
affection in the prote ction that old
anthropoid apes accord to the members
of the polygamous tribe of which they
are chiefs. This kind Of affection can,
however, hardly be said to exist among
all men. There are numerous tribes in
which the fathers do not know their
own children, in which the, names pass
in the female line, and where mans
heirs are the children of his. sisters
Striking examples of conjugal love are
sometimes shown among homogeneous
monkeys. An incident in point is that
Of female of an American species
which, tired af holding her young one,
called up the male TO relieve her.
Another story is that of The male in the

solable and starved itself to death after

Inmninr nrnr a Straw.

An old gentleman at Tewkesbury for
many years rode blind horse. Though
sightless, the steed, which had probably
been a good fencer once, had learned to
Jump whenever he received a hint that
he was desired to do so. One day, after
a run with the hounds, some hunting
men were talking about big jumps, and
the owner of the blind horse stoutly
maintained that that animal would jump
over a single obstacle which none of
their hunters would leap. He was
ready to back his words with money,
and as the result of the conversation he
made four bets Of e5 each on tho sub
ject. Very soon the four sportsmen re-
pented of risking their money so Tashly.
The owner of the blind horse put down
a straw in the street, and this constituted
the Obstacle" He rode up to it, and
the blind steed, responding to his call,
''rosc at the rasper" clearing it with O
bound four feet in the air, and cover
ing twelve feet of ground at least. None
of the other four horses would rise at O
straw, and the owner of the blind horse
