THE CHIvALRY OF ANIMALS.
Examples of Their Tenderness To
ward All Animal Young.


ward All Animal Young.
From the Contemporary Review.
BY far the most effective means of
bringing birds about you for the pur-
pose of cultivating their acquaintance,
after you have settled yourself, field
glass in hand, with your back against
tree trunk, is to place your lips to
the back of your hand in the kissing
position and suck in the air vigorous
ly, while keeping them firmly press
ed, thus giving rise to a half squaw-
ing, half wnistling sound that closely
resembles the cry of a young bird in
distress. 1t is astonishing, how quickly
this will sometimes cause an apparent
ly deserted thicket to become fairly
alive with birds, all in a state of anx-
ious excitement.
The attitude of dogs and other do.
nestle animals toward the babies or
children of the family to which they
belong, and which they probably re-
gard as adopted into their own family
circle. is familiar illustration of this
same feeling. Nor is this simply a
matter of affection for the particular
individual; on the contrary it's purely
personal and if we might use the term.
abstract character is something most
curiously shown.
One of my brothers, when a young
man, owned a handsome Newfound-

who ventured to approach his charge
without cordial greeting from the
nursemaid. The minute, however. thai
the gate was safely reached again he
considered his duty done and relapsed
at once into his former attitude of jeal-
GUS contempt
He evidently felt that no matter how
much he might disapprove of the baby
personally, and even feel free to ex-
press this feeling within the privacy of
the family circle. yet the youngest was,
nevertheless, de jure, a member of the
family, and entitled not merely TO de-

these must be discounted as simply
instances of a well-known form of in
sanity, few seem to have been gen.

greater frequency with which infants
were left to take their chance in the
open air in earlier times, on account
of the now almost incredible risks of
war, famine and pestlence to say
nothing of the cheerful custom, follow
