HOW ANIMALS PLAY.
They Are a. sportive az the Children
Of Men,

The sense OF humor in animals
awakens very early. A ferret will
play with her kittens, a cat with hers.
u dog with her puppies. A mare will
play with her foal, though perhaps sci.
dom or never has any one seen a COW
trying to amuse her calf nor any birds
their young. II their mothers do not
amuse them the young ones invent
games of their own.
A flock of ewes and lambs was once
observed in adjoining fields, separated
by fence with several gaps in 1t.
Follow my leader" was the game
most in favor with this flock, the big
gest lamb leading around the field and
then jumping the gap. with all the
others following in single file; any
lamb that took the leap unusually well
would give two or three more enthus-
iastics jumps or exuberant happiness
when 1t reached the other side.
Fawns play a sort of cross touch
from one side to the other, the touch"
in each case being by the nose. Little
pigs are also great at combined play,
which generally takes the form of
races. Emulation seems to form part
of their amusement, for their races
always seem to have the winning Of
the first place for their object, and are
quite different from those combined
rushes for food or causeless stampedes
In which little pigs are wont to indulge.
Racing is an amusement natural to
some animals. and, being soon taught
by others, becomes one OF the most ex-
citing pastimes. Many horses and all
racing dogs learn to be as keen at
winning as schoolboys.
Birds delight in the free and fanciful
use of their wings. There Is all the
difference possible between the flight
of birds for business" and pleasure,
and many kinds on fine days will soar
to vast heights for pleasure alone.
