AnimaIs Tint Weep.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, a
mule has been seen to cry from the
pains of an injured foot, and camels,
it is said, shed tears in streams. A
COW sold by its mistress who had
tended it from calfhood wept pitifully.
A young soko ape used to cry from
vexation if Livingstone didn't nurse it
in his arms when 1t asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young ones
slain by hunters A chimpanzee train
ed to carry water jugs broke one and
fell a-crying, which proved sorrow,
though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats,
discovering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears of grief. A giraffe
which a huntsman's rifle had injured
began to cry when approached. Sea
lions often weep over the loss Of their
young. Gordon Cumming observed
tears trickling down the face Of a
dying elephant. And even an orang
outang when deprived Of Its mango
was so vexed that it took TO weeping
There is little doubt, therefore. that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance. = Harper's
Weekly. - !. ;. -.

corporation there was big dinner, and
Tom Reed and Nelson Dingley were
present and were, OF course, called

a prepared speech, meaning Reed. who
got back at Dingley as follows:
"Mr. Toastmaster, am sorry to be-

The famous Liberty bell. which has
been much exhibited and written about
was originally cast in London, for the
English government restricted the In
dustries in the American colonies to
such an extent that there was no place
on this side of the Atlantic where sueh
a bell could be made. The BELLS weight
was 2,080 pounds. 1t arrived in Philadsl-
phia in 1852. When hung up and being
tried for sound, ut was cracked by =
stroke of the clapper without any other
violence" 1t was recast in Phlladsa-
phia and this prophetic motto IN
scribed:
Proclaim liberty throughout the land
and to all the inhabitants thereof"
When the British threatened the city
this bell, together with those belonging
to Christ church and St Peters, eleven
in all, were taken to Allentown, Pa,
to prevent their falling Into the hanAs
of the enemies. When the war ended
the bell was hung again In the place
whence it had rung out the news OF tie

Fish Is sign of good omen. In
Bengal when the bride comes with the
bridegroom for the first time In the
house of the latter, the former has to
catch hold of fish In a certain well
come ceremony, in prospect, perhaps,
of a generation as fruitful as that of
fish While entering new house for
the first time the lady is to take hold
Of fish, probably for the same rea-
son. Whatever may be the reason for
regarding the handling of fish as auspi
cious, 1t is lndisputable that over a
large part Of northern India the IVA
ter vegetable (as 1t is called by high
caste Punjabis, who eat 1t in spite of
its being considered forbidden food for
Brahman, Khatris and Baniyas) is
taken to assure good luck. The writer
Of this was Fastening to Nepal to see
a sister who was dangerously Ill. He
came across a Nepalese gentleman near
Patna, who offered to accompany him
to his destination, being moved to pity
on hearing of his errand. When cross
ing the Gauges from Digha Chat to
Paleza Chat big hilsa fish fell at his
feet on the deck of the steamer as If
hurled by an unseen hand. Perhaps
1t had been struck by the stern wheel
and thrown up over the bulwark. The
Nepalese friend jumped up in great
excitement, exciaiming: Here Is
sign from heaven-the happiest omen
for you, my lad You will find your
sister out Of danger" All classes in
Nepal share the superstition Of the
Bengalls In regard to fsh.-Lahore
