Friendly Monkeys.

l have read somewhere a statement
that the anthropoid apes prefer our
company to that of their fellow mon
keys of lower degree, and l saw it
proved once In Calcutta, says a writer
in Pathological and Other Oddities
The late w. Rutledge, for many years
the leading animal dealer there, and
a mine Of natural history informat ion,
had a young one In his yard, and at
my request opened its cage one day to
let 1t choose its society. when, quite
disregarding the other monkeys, 1t inn
mediately came over to him and
climbed into his lap.
A falr-sized female we had at the
Calcutta Zoo also was most affec-
tionate creature. When l paid visit
to her she would always put her arm
afectionately around my neck, and
while being caressed and played with
would drop any food offered by other
visitors. Another specimen Of the same
sex showed the less amiabe side of Its
character by long refusing the dona-
tons of one member of the society be-
cause on one occasion he had first given
something to the other monkeys in the
same house.
But think 1t was on my very first
Introduction to the orang that the hid
den humanity of the creature most i'm
pressed me. This was many years ago.
when Abraham Bartlett was at the
London Zoo. He gave me a private in
terview with a little orang which had
just arrived. The first thing the little
imp did was to climb on my knee. take
of my hat and put it on its own head.
after which 1t proceeded gravely to
pinch one of the superintendent eve
lids. In short, it examined us with a
scientific curiosity, which in a lower
animal was decidedly impressive. This
little man Of the woods could not have
chosen a more striking way Of claiming
kinship so often denied.
