New York.-Mrs. jefferson Davis.
widow OF the President of the Confcd.
eracy. who had been i'll for Il week at
the Hotel Majestic in this city, died at
1925 O'Clock Tuesday night. Death
was due to pneumonia induced by IA
severe cold which Mrs. Davis con
tracted upon her return from the Adj
rondacks, where she had spent the
summer months.
Although grave fears were felt from
the first, Mrs. Davis wonderful vital
ity. which brought her safely through
a similar attack year ago, gave hope
of ultimate recovery until late last
night, when a decided change for the
worse was evident and the attendins
physicians announced that the end
was near. II was then believed that
Mrs. Davis could not survive the night,
but she rallied slightly during the
early hours of to-day.
Shortly after O'Clock this morning
she had a similar spell and Rev.
Nathan A. Seable. pastor of St. Ste
phen's Prote stant Episcopal Church
was hurriedly summoned to give reliS-
ious comfort to the patient in her last
moments of consciousness. The clergy

Hayes-Davis, grandson. who is a
student at Princeton University; Mrs.
Charles f. Bateson, a niece; Dr. and
Mrs. Gustave Webb, the latter grand
daughter, and Dr. Robert II. Wylie.
who with Dr. Webb cared for Mrs. Da-
Wis throughout her illness.
J. Addison Hayes, husband of Mrs.
Davis only living child, had been
summoned from Colorado Springs and
was hurrying across the continent
when a message announcing Mrs. Da-
Wis death intercepted him.
Mrs. Davis had for some years made
her home in this city. where she had
a wide circle of friends. Throughout
her illness solicitous inquiries regard
ing her condition were continually
made at her apartments.

ted bower bird and the regent bird
have similar habits, but each diner
ent species has its pleasure resort.
The bower of the fawn breast is as
much as four feet long and eighteen
inches high, and is raised on a timex
platform of sticks. The same bowers
are used for years If the birds are
not disturbed, and fresh additions are
constantly made. AS much as hall
"a bushel of shells has been found in
and about a single bower, and that
though the bird hat collected them
was no bigger than a starting.
1t may perhaps be possible to ex-
plain the trade rats love of utterly
useless objects, the jackdaw's hordes,
the joy the bower bird takes in its
dainty retreat, on other grounds than
play. But such explanations appear
needlessly far fetched when compar-
ed with the simple one-that those
which we are pleased to call the lower
creatures share W human love
of games and toys.

ANIMALS HAVE GAMES
LIKE THOSE OF CHILDREN

Humanl children have two sorts of
games. They either play with toys,
inanimate lobjects of some kind or
other, or else with one another. Ami
mails do the same. Their games are,
of course, Says the Strand Magazine,
not very advanced. They make prac-
tically no demands upon intellectual
powers, but only upon bodily activity
lin fact, they closely correspond
with the plays of very young children.
There Is nothing that a plump,
healthy yotngster of toddling age
enjoys mort, than a roll down a
grassy bank tor the soft side of a hay
cock. We find more than wild
animal which practices and enjoys a
Sliding play. Others go in for regu-
lar toboggann ing. First choosing a
steep, sloping river bank, where the
soil is of clay and the water at the
bottom fairly deep, they set to work
and carefully remove all the sticks
and loose stones which mightpget in
their way, and then the fun begins.
Climbing up, the bank at some spot
where it Is not too steep, the first
otter goes to the head of the slide,
lies down fiat on his stomach, gives a
kick with his hind legs, and down he
glides head ore most into the water.
The second follows his leaders, ex-
ample, and tiNn the third, as rapid.

odds and ends, and hid them in a net
tie patch. One day the naturalist
stumbled on the bird standing in the
middle of his treasures and arrang-
ing them. Next day they were all
gone. The crow, aware that his Sc
cret hiding place was known, had
moved every thing to some new spot.
Children build houses of brick in
door and sand castles on the shore.
Some youngsters take pleasure in
adjoining these sand castles with
shells and seaweed. In the wilds of
Australia bower birds amuse hem
selves In precisely the same way! The
bower birds belong to the family of
thrushes. Two sorts are common
the satin and the spotted bower birds.
These are found in almost all parts
of the Australian bush, particularly
in New South Wales.
The bower OF the power bird is in
no sense a home OIL nest; 1t Is purely
and simply a playhouse. The spotted
bower bird builds its bowers on the
ground. The outside is OF twigs, the
insided aintily lined with tall grasses,
so arranged that the tops nearly
meet. But the oldest part of the
whole curious performance is the
way in which these pretty, shy little
birds decorate their pleasure houses.
They collect quantities of brightly
colored feathers, pebbles, shells, NOR
sells of sun bleached bone-anything
in fact that strikes their fancy-and
use these to decorate their bowers.
Some are stuck between the twigs,
are arranged in piles at the en-
frances, some are laid in rows to
mark out paths leading to the bower.
Two other species-the fawn breas-

lifted by 1t.
Groos says that bears will do thu
same sort of thing. He relates thu
case of a polar bear which used U
roll an old iron pot to and fro in hi
tank, and then, lifting it out, rub i
up and down in a trough of running
water. He stood on his hind legs
and used his forepaws exactly like
washerwoman washing clothes.
Certainly the bear looked upon the
kettle as a toy and the washing d
game. There could have been nc
other possible object in his queer per-
Torrance.
@~he Honest Trade Rat. :.
One of the oldest little III
existence is the California WOOD rat
better know as the trade rat. IL owes
the latter name to the fact tnat'
though 1t is a great thief, II never
steals anything without putting soni
| thing else in its place. Ratner more
than a year ago a photograph pea
ed among the Strand curiosltles OF a
paste moi which had been left over
night in the assay office at the silver
Queen Mine, and which was found IN
the morning filled with the oldest
collection of rubbish. This was the
work of trade rats. They had stolen
the paste and left in exchange a piece
of stick, a length of rope, some odds
and ends of wire and an unbroken
glass funnel.
The object of the trade rat in SO
scrupulously paying for what he takes
in a mystery. But these same rats
certainly take the greatest pleasure
in the odds and ends which they steal
and collect. In Lindsay's Mind in
Lower Animals" a description is CIV
of a trade rats nest found in an
unoccupied house. The outside was
composed entirely of iron spikes laid
in perfect symmetry, with the points
outward. Interlaced with the spikes
were about two dozen forks and
spoons and three large butcher
knives. There were also a large carv-
ing knife, fork and steel, several
plugs of tobacco, an old purse, a
quantity of small carpenter tools, in
several augers, and a watch,
of which the outside casing, the glass
and the works were all distributed
separately, so as to make the best
show possible-altogether the oldest
None of these things was
of any earthly use to the rats. They
have collected them just in the
same way that a child boards up odds
and ends to play with.
The trade rat has it's South Amer
lean counterpart in the ~viscacha, a
pretty little relation of the chinchilla,
which lives in families of twenty or
thirty on the pampas. Everything
that takes it's fancy and is portable is
by the viscacha and piled in
neat little heaps at the mouth of its
burrow. If a ranchman drops his
watch or any similar article, he al
ways searches the viscacha burrows
in the neighborhood, and generally
finds his lost property.
Feathered Thieves.
But one need not go so far as the
New World to find instances of
lures that hoard. Most of the crow
family have this trick. Every one
knows the delight which these birds
take in any shining object, and how
cleverly they will steal it and hide it
away.
A well known naturalist speaks of
a wild crow which made a collection
of bits of broken china and similar

tired out, and will come back to the
same spot day after day to renew
their game. So common is this prac-
tice that the relentless trapper long
ago came to know it well, and makes
a practice of setting his trap just
where the poor little beasts leave the
water to climb afresh for another
slide, and hardly ever fails to ecu
the leader, generally the old dog OF
ter.
With offers this tobogganning is
not merely a summer pastime. In
winter they have the same amuse-
ment, the only difference being that
they choose a snow bank instead of a
mud one.
"Follow My Leader" by Chamois.
Brehm, the German naturalist, has
recorded an exactly similar game
played by chamois in the Alps. In
summer chamois climb to the upper
heights and there, in the midst of
the solitudes of perpetual snow, en-
JOY themselves vastly playing a game
like follow my leader" But the
most curious part of their fun is their
tobogganning. They choose a steep,
snow covered slope; the leader
throws himself into a sort of crouch
ing position, and, working his legs
as though he We're swimming, slides
down for a distance of a hundred
yards or more. Arrived at the bot
tom, he springs to his feet and climbs
up again. The others look on, and
then another of them makes a trial oil
the slide. The rest follow, n by
one.
1t may be objected that chamois
