CLEVER RUsE OF A CAT.
How Mix unprecedented Tabby and
Fooled Her Mistress.

Fooled Her Mistress.
If it be true, as human expert
ence seems to have proved. that i,
is better TO love anything than
nothing, the sentiments of a lady
of Richmond, ). J., with regard 10
her cats are justifable, says the
New York World.
This is saying Il good deal, for
she is SO devoted to them that il
seems she cannot have enough Of
them, and not only cooks regularly
and carefully for them lcfood ~
which cats are fond, but the par
ticular food TO which each cai ol
her establishment is dcNoicG- r
feeds them as conScicntiousiN as
she could were thcychildrcn OF her
own species and goes to all man
ncr of other trouble for them.
For instance: TO a tree every
morning very early there cOHcsAh
old cat-Tabby-and meows. To
the breast of almost any other
human being this would bring at
least antagonistic feelings, words
which would not be used were II
known that another human be
ing were within hearing and 4
missile to the hand, but it causes
Tabby's mistress to arise and let
her in.
The lady is so attentive to her
pets that she knows the voice of
each of them. To this hangs the
story.
One morning the meow came as
usual, but it was not the meow of
Tabby. Could it be that of Mix,
who, much to the grief of the mis-
tress, had disappeared some three
months before?
II did not take the mistress long
to get out of bed, raise the blinds
and look out.
There, in the tree, was Mix, sure
enough.
Hurrying downstairs the mis-
tress opened the front door.
Mix rushed in, leaped and
scrambled TO her mistress breast,
threw paws about her neck,
rubbed a cheek against her cheek
and did more than purr-made n
great effort to tell how much she
was loved, and how she had been
longed for and what pleasure
there was in getting back to her.
When she had eaten Il hearty
breakfast, which was at once SET
before her, Mix again went TO her
mistress, again leaped and scram-
bled TO her neck, again more than
purred-seemed again to be try
ing to say something ina tone diff
ferent from that which she had
used before, 10 be trying TO tell
why she had been away, where She
had been and what she had suf-
fered.
1t may be just as wen that she
was not understood. else the mis-
tress might have been disposed 70
wreak vengeance on some one, or
insist that some one of her human
or feline friends Wreak it for her.
But can il be doubted that Mix
had had an interview with and
been understood by Tabby?
On what other ground can Onr
account for her having occupied
Tabby's matutinal place in the
tree, to the awakening Of the mis-
tress?

NAN AND The GORILLA.
Scientist Contends That They Are
Not of Same Family.

NVl VI OdIuC EdulA1Ys
Prof Darwin's theory that man
originally descended from the
ape was cOntradicted recently by
Prof. Chapman in lecture given
in the Academy of Natural Sci
ences, says the Philadelphia Led
ger. One Of the rarest and per.
haps the finest collection of an
thrOpoid apes in the world, five in
number, presented TO the Acad-
envy of Natural Sciences in Phila-
delphia, by DR.. Thomas Biddle,
who secured the collection from
the Hamburg museum, was ON ex-
hibitiOn.
Prof. Chapman made a minute
comparison of the anthrOpOid
apes anatomy with that of the
human being and said that the
gorilla more closely resembled
man in its physical makeup than
the others. The bones of the gOr-
illa's paws or hands, he said, were
similar in a great many respects
to those Of man, while the animal
was also equipped with a score or
more Of muscles found in the hui
man body At the same time there
were many important discrepan-
cies between the two. He disput-
ed the opinion of many scientists
who asserted that the gorilla had
four hands, by saying that it had
really only two hands and two
feet, although all four, he said,
were frequently put to the same
use. In all, he said, there was to
some extent less difference be-
tween man and the gorilla than
there was between the HOttentOt
and others Of that class and the
perfectly developed man of to-
day.
One of the salient features which
showed the important differences
between man and the gorilla,
Prof. Chapman continued, existed
in the fact that, while man pos
sessed the long fexOr in his thumb,
the gorilla was minus such an ac-
cessOry. There were 80 or more
points of great difference between
the two, proving undoubtedly that
man had come by the same from
the rudimentary period.
In referring to the inability of
the gorilla to talk, Prof. Chapman
accounted for it by saying that Il
hollow in the front of the apes
brain, together with the animals
inability to control it's nerve cen
ters, probably accounted for it's be-
my incapable of exercising it's vo-
cal organs. In conclusion the pro-
fcSSOr said:
IF we could concentrate into
one animal all of the monkeys pr-
culiaritica or traits in which he rc-
s"mbles man We could find 10
basis for comparing him with
man"
