ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst
mule has been seen to cry from the
pain Of an injured foot and camels,
1t is said, shed tears in streams, says
a writer in Harper's Weekly. A cow
sold by its mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from vexa,
ton If Livingston didn't nurse it in
his arms when it asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water jugs broke one and fell
a-crying, which proved sorrow, though
it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. 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 Cummings observed
tears trickling down the face of dy-
ing 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

French Presidents Double.

VI. Fallieres was until recently be-
lieved to be the only president of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is respectable merchant
Of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly so oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always &C.
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents private
secretary. Dignified and with meas
ured steps the enviable double walks
through the FaubOurg Saint Honore
and feels overjoyed at being saluted
on all sides.
