The GiraEe,s TlmidIty.

A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds. but is Indifferent to loud
ones. A writer in The Leisure Hour
says:
Noisy sounds, like man walking by
with hobnail boots, it does not notice,
but q lady coming in with hardly more
sound than the rustling of her dress
makes it start, with pricked ears and
eyes distended.
We remember well. after a terrible
explosion of gunpowder on a barge on
the canal, asking the keeper of the gi-
ratfes of that day how they had taken
it, and he said he was surprised how
very little notice they took They
jumped to their feet, but almost at
once lay down again when they found
nothing happened.
But" he added, "if I were at night
time to creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be SO scared that 1
believe they would dash themselves to
bits
They fear the lurking foe, and a bing
bang scares them less than faint
rustling sound. They are in that re-
spect very deerlike.
