A CHICKS MENTAL CAPACITY.
1t Learns Readily to Do Those Ae.
lions which Bring to 1t Food
and Ease,

In 1896 | made great many expert
ments with young chicks, testing their
ability to learn variety of perform
ances, such as getting out of a box by
pecking at a certain spot on a door or
by jumping upon little platform or
by pulling down string with their
necks, escaping from a pen by going
up a ladder or following an intricate
path through the maze, ETC., writes
Prof. Edward j. Thorndyke of Column
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 u certain spot, and so
opening the door, 1t sees other chicks
and food outside and reacts to the sit
uation (confinement) according to its
Unborn organization, by running about,
peeping, jumping at the walls, trying
to squeeze through any small openings
and peclling at the barriers combining
1t. The chick feels score or more of
impulses to score or more of acts,
If its reaction includes one particular
act-namely, peck at certain spot
1T of course escapes. This one act
is followed by freedom, food and gen
eral comfort. The other acts resulted

MUST SAY 1T IN GERMAN.
Wurttemburg Will Not Allow Stu
dents to Use English Terms in
Playing the Game

According to German correspond
ent the educational authorities of the
kingdom of Wurtemberg have issued
an amusing order. Schoolmasters are
to see that if their pupils play foot
ball they shall at least play it in Ger
man. That is to say, such interesting
hybrid expressions as "kicken' and
"touch-linie" are to be abolished for
the future and equivalents found in
orthodox German.
Looked at from Il cosmopolitan and
Impartial point of view, the altera-
tion really seems a pity. "Kicken" is
undoubtedly an expression, like the
"criquette" and 'bouledogue" of the
sporting Frenchman, that makes for
the gayety of nations, and it is diff
cult to see what harm the mind of
the youthful Wurtemberger could
get from it. Moreover, the proposed
substitute, "stossen," seems painfully
inadequate and vague, not much bet
ter than the very poor-spirited
French equivalent "coup-de-pied."
1t is not necessary to suppose that
this paternal legislature has decreed
the abolition of the offending terms
from any grounds of Anglophobia,
says the London Globe. They arc
probably doomed to disappear not be-
cause they are english, but because
they are not German. There has been
for many years a systematic plan of
banishing alien words from the Ger
man speech and justifying the boast
of celebrated German that of all
European languages it alone has re-
manned uncontaminated since the
time OF Tactus.

ITALY'S POPULAR POET.
Young Daughter of a Factory Opera
tive Has Risen to High
Fame

The favorite poet of the Italians is
Ada Negri, young woman who has
suddenly sprung into fame by the pas
sionate fire of her verses and their
simple, strong, true, democratic sentl-
ment. Although she was first heard
of in 1892, her works now have a larger
sale than those of any other author
the common people than any other,
says Rome correspondent of the Chi
cago Record-Hera She has pub
lished two volumes. The first, which
included $50 pages of lyrics, passed
through six editions very rapidly, and
every line of it's contents has again
and again been copied in the newspa-
pers. The second volume appeared in
1896, and had even larger sale, APP
pealing to higher class of readers be-
cause it's contents We're more mature
and showed a higher literary polish
without detriment to their quality.
Miss Negri has a third volume in press,
which will appear shortly, and it is
awaited with great curiosity, because
her circumstances and surroundings
have been entirely changed and she
has been translated from poverty to
wealth and from the privations of a
garnet to the Injuries of palace ut
Milan.
Ada Negri was born February 3, 1870,
in little village near Milan, where

operatives. Her father died when she
was mere child. and her mother led
a miserable life of labor and sacrifice
in order to secure an education for
her child. In 1883, when she was Is.
the girl obtained a situation as teach,
err in the village school, and took her
mother out of the factory. They lived
in the hllmblest quarters in two lit
tie rooms at the top of tenement
mouse, but managed to survive and
were comparatively happy on wages
of eight dollars a month. A poem
entitled '''rhe Working Mother" which
has appeared again and again in every
newspaper in Italy, most frequently
in those which are read by the work
ing classes, and thus has become rs
familiar to the Italian people as Long
fellows psalm of Life is to lis, is
supposed to be an epitome of her
career and n revelation of the feelings
of woman in her circumstances. IT
described the struggles of mother
who is working to educate a son. and
| everybody who knows the story of
Ada Negri's life recognizes the per-
| Sonal quality.
| In 1892 the girl went to Milan for a
| brief visit to arrange for the puhlca-
ton of her poems in book form, leaving
| her native village for the first time,
and there saw luxury. beauty and art.
| which was a revelation beyond her
| dreams. The few books she had found
in the village library had not prepared
| her for the splendor of the cathedral,
| the buildings of the business section
and the shaded palaces of the outer
! streets, and. although she did not cross
a threshold. her imagination-wa ex-
| cited and her ambition received new
| impulse. when after two DAYS of de-
| light she returned to her garnet and
| wondon shoes. From this moment her
| poems took on a new color. They be-
! came brighter and more vivacious,
with less melancholy, as if few rays
| of sunshine had been admitted to her
| soul.
