Prevention OF Cruelty Society Will
Prosecute.

Members Of the Maryland branch Of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals report that unless the practice
Is speedily abolished they will arrest all
persons violating the law by tying the
feet of chickens or any other kind Of
poultry, lambs, sheep, hogs, calves,or any
other stock in bringing them to market or
the railroads for shipments. Besides
being in violation of the law, the custom
is little short of barbarous, when the feel
ings Of young stock or poultry are con-
sidered as they are jolted over rough
roads with coarse Irvine or rope gnawing
Increasingly as the result of a knot by
some cruel hand. This is the Society,"
last warning and all persons found dis

AN IMPRACTICAL JOKER.

Practical joking, s'the meanest form

merly the pranks used to be coarse,
If not dangerous, but that is changing
now. The only saving grace of the
Magyarian practical jokes, says w. B.
r. Bovill in Hungary and the Hun
garians,"' is that they are not perpe-
trated in a spirit of bitterness.
One Of the most famous jokers Of the
old school was Jozsa Gyuri Exiled
IN one of the most inaccessible parts
Of the great plain, he lived and died
"a prodigal and buffoon."
A story is told of Jozsa going to

Wishing to be impressive, he journey

which he was very proud. On being
shown over the grounds by the count
his attention was directed to a remark

standing at good price. After sup

and the rick was soon nothing but a

INSTINCT AND REASON.
An Interesting Illustration Of the Two
Traits Of Monkeys.

An Interesting Illustration of the Two
Traits Of Monkeys.
An illustration showing the differ.
ence between instinct and reason in
monkeys came under the observation
OF David Starr Jordan. the famous
naturalist. At one time he had two
lively Macacus monkeys called Bob
and Jocko. These were nut and fruit
eating monkeys and instinctively knew
just how to crack nuts and peel fruits.
At the same time he had baby mon
key, Mono. of a kind that had the egg
eating instinct. But Mono had never
vet seen an egg.
To each of the three monkeys DR..
Jordan gave an egg, the first that any
of them. had ever seen. Baby Mono,
descended from egg eating ancestors.
handled his egg with all the inherited
experiences OF long developed in
stinct. He cracked it with his upper
teeth, making a hole in it, and sucked
out all its substance. Then, holding
the eggshell up to the light and see
ing there was no longer anything in
it, he threw it away. All this he did
mechanically. automatically and just
as well with the first egg as with any
other he afterward had. And all eggs
since given him he has treated in the
same way.
The monkey Bob took his egg for
some kind of nut He broke it with
his teeth and tried to pull off the shell.
When the inside ran out and fell on
the ground he looked at it for mo-
ment in bewilderment. then with both
hands scooped up the yolk and the
sand mixed with it and swallowed it.
Then he stuffed the shell into his
mouth. This act was not instinct; It
was reason. He was not familiar by
inherited instinct with eggs. He would
handle one better next time: however.
Reason very often makes mistakes at
drst, but when it is trained it becomes
means far more valuable and power
full than instinct.
The third monkey, Jocko, tried to
eat his egg in much the same way
that Bob did; but. nor liking the taste,
he threw it away.-St. Nicholas.
