An English writer on birds says; "a
redshank, which was with some other
'waders' in an aviury containing n
pond, wounded itself on the top OF the
head. Unfortunately the bird died,
but on inspection 1t was found that 1t
hnd plastered he wound over with
mud. This example of n birds instinct
for self preservation is very striking,

Faculty of Imitation In Animals.

-
Some animals have wonderful powers
of imitation. Dogs brought up in the
of cats have been known TO
acquire the trick of licking tile paws
and then washing the face. When Il
cat has been taught 10 sit up for ROOD
her kittens have been known to ilni-
tate her action. Darwin tells of "A cat
that was in the habit of putting her
paw into the mouth of n narrow mix
pitcher every time she got the chance
and then licking the cream on her paw.
Her kitten soou learned the same trick.
A lady tells of II rabbit that she keeps
in n cage with n monkey and says that
Bunnie has caught many OF the
monkeys ways. 1t is said that starry
ing pigeons that have been brought up
on grain will not eat peas to save their
lives, but that if pea eating pigeons are
out with them they follow their eN-
ample and eat peas.-Detroit News
