SHE LOST NOTHING.
An Omission in the wedding Service
That Didn't Count in Her
Case,

A distinguished naval officer was
telling this story on himself the other
evening to gathering of his friends.
At the time of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship, through all of which he
kept his courage and remained as calm
as brave man should, relates the
Washington STAR AS the time for the
ceremony came on, however, his calm
ness gradually gave way. At the al
tar, amid the blaze of brass buttons
and gold lace marking the full naval
wedding, the officer was all but STAN
peded and what went on there seemed
very much mixed to him. Fearing the
excitement of the moment would tenn
porarily take him off his feet, the Of
ticer had learned the marriage cere-
mony letter perfect, as he thought.
and he remembered repeating the
words after the minister in mechan-
ical sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and
all was serene again, including the Of
flcer's state of mind, the kindly clergy
man came up to him and touched him
on the shoulder.
"Look here, old man." he said, "you
didn't endow your wife with your
worldly goods"
whats that?" asked the BRIDE
groom, with something of astonish-
ment in his voice.
"Why, repeated the sentence, with
all my worldly goods I thee endow'
several times, and despite my efforts
you would not say it after me."
The bridegroom seemed perturbed
for moment and then beaming light
came into his face.
"Never mind, SIR" he said, "she didn't
lose blessed thing by my failure"

A CHICKS MENTAL CAPACITY.
1t Learns Readily to Do Those Acc
tions Which Bring to 1t Food
and Ease,

In 1896 I made a great many expert
ments with young chicks, testing their
ability to learn a variety of perform
ances, such as getting out of box by
pecking at a certain spot on door or
by jumping upon little platform or
by pulling down string with their
necks, escaping from pen by going
up ladder or following an intricate
path through the maze, ETC., writes
Prof. Edward ]. Thorndyke, of Coiium-
bia university, in the International
Monthly. They learn readily to aban-
don those acts which bring discomfort
and to emphasize those which are sue
cessful in securing them food, shelter,
warmth and the companionship Of
their fellows.
Their learning, like that of the fishes,
is essentially process of selection.
For instance, chick is confined in
cage from which it can escape only
by pecking at a certain spot, and so
opening the door. 1t sees other chicks
and food outside and reacts to the sit
uation (confnement) according to its
Unborn organization, by running about,
peeping, jumping at the walls, trying
to squeeze through any small openings
| and pecking at the barriers confning-
it. The chick feels score or more of
impulses to a score or more of acts.
If its reaction includes one particular
act-namely, a peck at certain spot.
it of course escapes. This one act
is followed by freedom, food and gem
eral comfort. The other acts resulted
only in continuance of the unpleas-
ant solitary confinement.
If, after the chick has enjoyed free
dom for awhile, we put it into the cage
again we have repetition of the first
event, except that the chick is likely
to run and peep and jump and squeeze
less and to peck at the door sooner,
1t we continue this process, so that
the chick is again and again confront
ed by the situation - Confinement in
box of such and such appearance
it constantly decreases the useless acts,
and performs the suitable one sooner.
and sooner, until finally it pecks at the
spot Immediately whenever put into
that box. 1t has learned, we say, to
get out OF the box by pecking at GER
tain spot.
