lnEBRlETY AMONG ANIMALS.
Monkeys, Rats, Birds and Even Insects Love
 Intoxicants.

 Monkeys, Rats, Birds and Even Insects Love
 Intoxicants.
 Tt is q curious fact that there are topers innumerable in the animal king dom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike are fond of alcoholic drinks and al- though some display aversion when first tasting liquor, they soon acquire craving for 1t.
 Chickens and ducks, after having once tasted brandy, become absolute slaves to the drink. They refuse to eat, grow thin and exhibit symptoms of dejection when unable to obtain their favorite tipple
 Monkeys and apes are passionately fond of spirituous liquors. Of these, Buffon's -bibbing chimpanzee was a shining example, and Brehm, the German zoologist, owned several man. drills that drank wine regularly and did not disdain brandy.
 HerbiYoroHs animals frequently be- come intoxicated, innocently enough, through eating decaying fruit. In orchards oxen and cows, after eating oyerripe apples, have been seen to dis play all the symptoms of drunkenness. They stagger, their eyes lose express sion, and they grow sleepy.
 It seems that animals are susceptible to alcoholism in proportion to the de- velopment of their intelligence. Ele- plants are fond of wine and rum, and rats gnaw the slaves of wine casks to get at the contents. Cats, however, rarely exhibit fondness for intoxi- eants.
 Among birds the parrot takes first place as an habitual toper. Insects have many opportunities to become in- toxicated, and 1t is the most active that most frequently avail themselves of the chance. There is an aromatic, intoxicating fluid in linden blossoms for which bees show an especial fond- ness.
 Instances have been observed where swarms of bees regaled themselves with the poisonous linden nectar un- til they exhibited all the signs of in- toxication. Hundreds fell helplessly to the roadside to be trampled under foot.
