In the Berth Below.


1t is asserted by some naturalists
that the puma, the second largest OF
the big cats of South America, neither
feared man nor regarded human be
ings as its prey, but on the contrary
sought their society. The following
anecdote from animal Artisans" by
Mr.. c.. ]. Cornish, long a resident OF
British Guiana, supports the belief
that the puma seeks the society OF
man instead of attacking or fearing
him.
When making an expedition up one
Of the large rivers In steam launch
our friend gave a passage to an elder
ly Cornish miner who was anxious to
reach the gold fields. Not wishing to
intrude upon his hosts, he did not
sleep on board the launch, but always
swung his hammock between two trees
ON shore. AS climbing into a high
slung hammock is not easy, he usually
fastened it rather low, and his weight
probably brought it to within three
feet of the ground at the bottom Of the
curve. One morning, being asked how
he had slept, he complained that 1.-The
frogs had made such a noise under
meath his hammock that they had kept
him awake"
Some Indians of the crew who were
folding up the hammock laughed q
good deal when they heard this, and
being asked the reason, said, still
laughing, "Oh, tiger sleep with old
man last nightw They had found IN
der the hammock the marks of~where
u puma had lain. The noise which
had kept the Occuper of the hammock
awake was the purring of the puma,
pleased at occupying the next berth"
below a man.

FRIENDLY ANIMALS.
The Intimacy Between Them and Man
In Yellowstone Pa.

In Yellowstone Pt
One of the most pleasant features Of
the drive through the Yellowstone Ma
tional park is the apparent intimacy be-
tween man and the animal and bird
life in the park. Thanks to the wise and
stringent regulations, no shooting is
allowed within its boundaries. THE
result" says an English tourist, "is
positively charming Hundreds of little
chipmupks, with their gaudy striped
backs, scanper impudently about or
peer at the passing coach from the
roadside. The squirrel did not bolt for
the nearest tree, but nodded a, well

wise. Even the lordly eagle lowered
near, and the wild turkey stalked I'M
concernedly through the rank grass.
We perceived q doe and a fawn graz
ing by the road. Not until we were
within few feet did they seek the
shelter Of the woods, yet not to fly.
They simply moved aside. Here at
least mankind was regarded as a
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was a
brown bear. He turned tail at the sight
of a coaching party. Yet it was quite
a common thing for bears to approach
close to the hotels at evening to feed
on the refuse thrown out. 1t was an
after dinner relaxation for the guests
to watch them feeding. They munched,
and disputed the choicest morsels, for
the most part Indifferent to the COM
pany. Only when we became inquis-
tive and approached too near did they
retire, and these animals were perfect
ly free and unfettered in their move
ments. 1t may read like fairy tale,
but it Is solid fact"
