Byron's line. Man being reasonable must
get drunk" suggests the erroneous inference
that drunkenness is confined to mankind,
whereas tho fact is that many animals will
drink to intoxication If the liquor be to their
liking. Nor is this ALL They do not only take
stimulants for their taste, but for their effects.
Working elephants in India are given ration
of grog, and punished by its stoppago. In
Africa monkeys are caught by toddy buckets,
whose contents render them incapable of fight,

yearsago there commonly stood holding out his
hand Mt the entrance of the Geological Garden at
Hamburg, venerable babOOn, the most intern

Mono committed suicide! / say this because
many persons said and swOre both formally and
with profane oaths also, that they saw him
drown himself. 1t was in tho Spanish Main
that this tragedy occurred. The weather was

that sailors are fond of pets and will bear
