THE animal MIND.
A Story About 4 Cow and the Calf
She Licked.

A Story About 4 Cow and the Calf
She Licked.
An absurd story is cited about a
COW, showing what creatures Of habit
animals are. This particular COW
would not stand to be MIXED unless
she could lick her calf at the same
time. For IA long time she always had
a calf Of some age or other to lick,
but at last by i'll fortune one Of her
calves died.
There is no reason why a bereaved
mother should mourn her loss just at
milking time, but there was the fixed
habit of making certain motions. The
farmer, however. was a practical
psychologist. He stuffed the skin of
the calf with hay and let the COW
have that to lick. To be sure, the hay
calf had neither head nor legs, but a
cow has no general ideas concerning
the nature Of calves nor any special
reason for assuming that calves should
have heads and legs. 1t felt right, and
it smelled right. 1t enabled her to go
through the customary motions at
milking time. Therefore it was sufi-
cient.
By dint of ~caressing and licking her
little calf the tender parent one fine
morning unripped it. The hay issued
from within, and the COW. manifest

A NATURAL WONDER.
The DEVILS Race Course In the Blue
Ridge Mountains.

The DEVILS Race Course In the Blue
Ridge Mountains.
1.-The Blue Ridge mountains abound
in natural wonders" observed an old
resident Of Penmar. Most wonderful
Of them all, in my opinion, is the Dew
IFS Race Course. which is hut a short
walk from Penmar.
AT first view this strange natural
phenomenon appears like q broad
roadway of great stones which ex.
tends away up the mountain in u path
no human hand could ever build.
Many Of these great stones weigh
tons, while others are only a few hun
dredweight. Lying close together by
the thousand, they present an extraor-
binary spectacle.
Tradition has 1t and scientists agree
that a thousand or more years ago
this strange track was the bed Of an
ancient river. The conclusion is drawn
from the looks of the stones. They
are all we'll sounded and worn smooth,
showing the action of water, which
had polished their rough edges no
doubt for centuries
but the mystery is If this theory be
true to explain how the great body of
water was confined at the sides, for
the course is not hemmed in by high
banks. nor is it located in a ravine.
In fact, it stands somewhat higher
than the natural side of the mountain.
The puzzle only intensifes interest in
the queer place and multiplies the ar
guments and theories of its prehistoric
origin. "-Baltimore American.
