THE CONDOR AT HOME.
Old Stories OF His .1rowess Found to b
Only Fabulous Creations.

Old Stories OF His iirowess Found to h
Only Fabulous Creations.
The home of this magnificent bird is
in the chain of the Andes in South
America, and the neighboring coun-
tries to the west, and it is found in
habiting these mountains from Ecua-
dor and Columbia down to the Strait
of Magellan. and again extending on
the east coast as far as the mouth OF
the Rio Negro in Patagonia. 1t bears
confinement well, examples being gem
orally to be seen living in the geological
gardens; and some idea of the extent
of wing in the condor can occasionally
be obtained when the birds are sun
ming themselves on the perch. The ex-
panse in large individuals is said TO
reach as much as eight or nine feet.
All observers agree that when seen in
a wild state the fight of the condor is
truly majestic, and it is capable of
ascending to an immense height, at
which a man could not breath
on account of the rarefaction
of the air, state of things
which does not seem to affect the con-
dor, who is often lost to sight amidst
the clouds. The most exaggerated
stories of the strength and prowess of
this vulture were circulated by the old
authors. and it was even said to attack
full-grown oxen. The careful observa-
tions, however, of recent travellers have
dispeled many of the fabulous stories
respecting it, and it is now well-as-
certained fact that the condor does not
attack ull-grown animals of any size,
but will devour newly-born and help
less offspring, and several will unite to
kill the mother should she appear in a
weak and siclly condition. The sup
posed habit, attributed to these birds,
of CARRYING off prey in their feet is dis
proved by the weakness OF the last
named organs, and their utter incapaci-
ty for grasping a thing; in fact, the
feet play a very insignificant part in the
birds economy, the powerful bill being
the chieffactor in tearing carcass to
pieces. Natural History"

In his work on ";he Human Mind"
Prof. Sully writes as follows in foot
note: Zone of the clearest examples of

dog, and the witness of the action.
The animal. variety of terrier. was
left in the dining-room, where were
the remains Of cold supper. He got
on the table and secured a piece of cold
tongue, but, without eating a mOrsel
of it, he carried it into the drawing
room, deposited it at the feet of his
mistress, and then crawled out OF
sight, looking the picture of abject
misery"
l have no wish to say one word which
shall detract from the moral excel
lence, if anyone likes SO to call it, of
that terrier, but 1 may, perhaps. be al
lowed to analyze his case. We may
suppose he was hungry. poor fellow,
but the natural impulse to appease that
hunger was checked in presence of
that loyal feeling of subservience TO
the mistress which is the outcome of
the dogs mode of life as the companion
of man. and which has probably been
developed from certain innate social
tendencies of the canida. which, like
wolves and jackals, hunt in packs.
Note, in passing, that the checking OF
this impulse was incomplete. Had it
been complete he would never have
stolen the tongue at all, and would
have remained unknown to fame.
His is not the only case in which our
sympathies go out toward the imper-
fectly moral more freely than toward
those who are above reproach. In the
case of the terrier, then, the prompting
of what we should call lower impulse,
the satisfaction of hunger, for the mo-
ment got the better of what we should
call the higher impulse, obedience to
the mistress; but only for moment.
The higher impulse prevailed, and the
dog crept abjectly to his mistress

The use of the word lady" to de-
scribe all members of the weaker sex
from the charwoman to Ia grand dame
with her palace on Fifth avenue, has
of late become common offense. In
spite of this fact, however, the good
old Saxon word has not entirely lost
its original significance, as will be seen
by reading the opinions which follow
from a number of prominent men.
COL. ROBERT G. INGERSoLL.
Above all a lady is kind and thought
full of others. Whatever her outward
charms may be her soul is adorned
with the jewels of honesty, fidelity and
virtue. If she is rich she visits the
poor: if poor, she is industrious and
hopeful. In her heart there is None
of the spirit of caste Without envy
ing the higher she pities the lower.
As daughter she is affectionnte, as wife
faithful, as mother loving and self-de-
nying. Whether handsome or homely,
in robes or rags, the perfect lady is the
crown of the world.

had his sign painted he had it made to
read, "Tonsorial Parlor," instead of Just

for nearly a year. Then some wag
probably told him that there was a
more elegant wording which might
draw custom to his shop. Within a
week new sign, rcsplendcnt in red.

that a "Tonsorial Abattoir' might be
found within. 1t is not known whether
