Mon Who live In Nests.

In the bushmen of Australia we find,
perhaps, the lowest order of men that
are known They are so primitive that
they do not know enough to build even
the simplest forms of huts for shelter
The nearest they could approach to 1t
is to gather lot of twigs and grass,
and, taking them into thicket or jun
gle, they build nest for a home, much
as does bird The nest is usually built
large enough for the family, and if the
latter be very numerous then the nests
are of a very large size
Into this place they all turn and
snuggle and curl up together like so
mary kittens. Sometimes the foliage
will grow together and for sort of
natural covering, but there is never any
attempt at constructing protection
from the rain and storms, and it is
marvel how they endure them.
But though the bushmen of Australia
are the very lowest in the scale of ig-
norance they possess rare instinct
that equals that Of many animals and
is in its way as wonderful as man 8 rea-
son. 1t is almost impossible for them
to be lost. Even if they be led away
from their home, blindfolded, for miles,
when released they will unerringly turn
in the right direction and make their
way to their nest home, and, though
these are all very similar, they never
make mistake. st. Louis Globe
