rhe ln.the.Ic sen.e N AnImal..

Animals possess in an appreciableman
ner certain tastes indicating an elemen-
tary sense of the beautiful. This sense
is not present in all animals, and those
who do possess it manifest it in different
degrees. But it is sufficient TO know that
its existence can be recognized. Birds
are particularly gifted in this manner.
They have taste for bright colors and
melodious sounds, and most frequently
the male subjugates and fascinates his
mate with the beauty of his plumage or
the fiexibility of his vocal organs There
are besides other birds who show this
aesthetic sense in a singular manner.
One of these is the baya. He has n
passion for brilliant and variegated OBJ
jects, and he has habit Of ornamenting
the entrance TO his nest which is built
with infinite art and elegance, with a
variety of objects, gathered by bits from
all quarters, which happen TO strike his
fancy. Among them are brilliantly col
ored feathers of other birds, bright bits
Of shells, bits Of stuffs, and the bird
struts about in the midst of all this with
evident pleasure.
Insects also possess a marked aesthetic
sense. They prefer certain colors, and
the plants which depend upon them
for fertilization show an entirely differ
emit variety Of colors from those of plants
whose fertilization is affected by means
of the wind. Musical sounds also affect
different animals in a marked manner
They have their preferences and theii
antipathies. Review Of Reviews.

gentleman in Chicago, "the smugglers
became so numerous that the president
issued proclamation stating that all
smugglers who would put themselves
in the hands of the revenue department
would be forgiven for past offenses and
be given profitable employment in the
custom house. Many of the smugglers
took advantage of this offer and were
given good positions under the govern

smuggling was becoming rare along the

An unaxnected WindfaII.

In 1883 lady named Burch, then liv-
ing in Kensington, went, like Thousand
others, to see the fine ladies pass on their
way to attend a drawing room at Buck
ingham palace. While gazing at the
show, which, though not democratic, is
an exceedingly pretty one, she noticed an
old gentleman, faint and confused with
the pressure of the crowd, which, being
composed of Englishmen, pronounced
him drunk. Discerning with better in
sight that he was not drunk, but very ILL,
Miss Burch led him to seat, found him
somewhere a glass of water and in a few
minutes restored his scattered energies.
He thanked her warmly, asked her name
and departed-to be heard of no more
till few days ago, when a solicitor
called to inform Miss Burch that the old
gentleman had bequeathed her the i'm
mense reward forsuch service Of $780,
600.
That story-if tits true, which we see
no reason to doubts the most striking
instance we can remember Of the true
and perfect windfall which all men, it is
said, expect in their hearts, but which so
rarely occurs to any one.-London Spec
tator.
