Just in proportion as he newbecomesciv-
ifzed-that is, humanized-he comes to
recognize the mutual obligations which
bind his life with the life of his fellow
man OF whatever tribe, race, national
ity, creed or color. And as he ceases
to be savage and therefore brute, he
,obeys those obligations. True celebra-
tions, then, of the advaneeof ciyiaiza-
ton cannot be made save upon the
measurement Of this standard. Prog
res is never by the process Of isolation.
Progress is human. Humanity is never
local. It cannot be national even. It
is universal, International.

two red tailed gray parrotsthat became
very mach attached to him. He says
thst one day tie King bird somehow fell
from his perch and received an internal
injury. Meanwhile the queen parrot,
who had probably witnessed the acci-
dent cane Ia md began TO behave in ai
most sxtramdinaxy manner. FIRST she

the other-in short, acting exactly as It
ahe were suffering from the same IN
jury that had befallen her mate.
Il kept my eyes riyeted on the insep-
arabic pair, - continues the doctor, " and
nay amazement soon changed to feel
ing Of deep sympathy. The paroxysm
Of impulsive imitation lasted long
enough to produce marked effect on
the organic functions Of the little crea-
ture. Her grief, or whatever mex
plicable influence it may have been,
caused such profound disturbances In
thesystem that the vital action sudden
