be. He would sit at table to eat, put
ting on napkin and using a knife,
fork and spoon when necessary. When
he had finished he would use the nap
kin, carefully fold it up and lay it beside
his plate. About two weeks before he
died severe attack of pneumonia set
in, and DR.. Marsh, surgeon Of the park
police, was called. Every morning
when the doctor entered the room he
would say, "Good morning, Crowley"
and Crowley would get up to shake
hands. Then the doctor would say,
"How are you this morning?' and
Crowley would grin. The doctor would
examine him and say, "Your pulse,
Crowley" and Crowley would extend
his hand. Nov your lungs" and
Crowley would throw back his arms to
allow the doctor to place his ear to his
breast. *And now your back, Crow

He grew very feeble before death,
and Cook stood by him from early
morning until late at night. Late in
the afternoon of the day he died Cook

ANIMAL LANGUAGE.
sounds Both Shrill and Low That
We Cannot Hear.

We Cannot Hear.
Most people suppose mole to be
dumb, but it is not. A mole can give
a sound so shrill that it hasn't any
effect on the human ear at all and an
other sound so low and soft that no
human being can hear it. Yet a wea-
sci can hear both these sounds as plain
ly as you can the report Of a gun, and
a sound registering machine-the pho
nautograph-will show them both, with
scores of other sounds you are deaf to.
The usual note of the mole is a low
pur, which it uses a good deal while
at work underground, and it can also
shout at the top of it's voice if hurt or
alarmed; but though it shouted and
purred in your ear, you wouldn't hear
it, The sound register, however, with
it's delicate pencil that marks the vol
ume of sound on a paper, gives the
quality of both sounds.
A weasel, too, which is one of the
mole's enemies, can hear these sounds
through a couple of inches of earth
and often catches the mole when he
throws up his hillocks of earth. The
common field mouse, too, has a pur
that is altogether beyond you, though
you can hear BIN squeak plainly
enough if he is hurt A deaths head
MOTH too, can squeak, but that is done
by rubbing his wings together and is
not voice at all.
But the champion of all creatures for
good hearing and one that can hear a
sound that is over 100 degrees beyond
your own limit is the common thrush,
and you may often amuse yourself by
watching him at it. He can hear a
lobWorm moving underground, locate
him by the noise and haul him out.
Often you may see thrush stand
perfectly still on your lawn, cock his
ear and listen intently, then make a
couple of steps and haul out a fat lob
worm. Even the starting, which is
about the size of a thrush, cannot do
this, but he knows the thrush can, and,
being a disreputable person, with no
common honesty, he follows the young
thrushes about on their worm hunts
and steals the worms from them as
soon as they are caught.-London An

Valuable Insects.

Perhaps there are few substances
contributed by animals to the materia
medica Of greater value or more ex-
tensively beneficial than certain species
Of insects. OF these there are none
more highly esteemed for medical pur-
poses than those beautiful, shining,
green colored insects known as blister
ing beetles, or cantharides. Their cor
rosive action is so great that they fire.
Quently 1nflame and excoriate the
hands Of those who collect them, and
on this property their chief medicinal
virtue depends. They are generally
used in the form Of plasters or ONT
ment, and in cases of violent visceral
Inflammation their external use can
scarcely be supplied by any other medi-
cine.
