Birds and Fish Do Not Easily Learn
That They Cannot Pene-
trate II.

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the curious
freak" of a blackbird flying against a
parlor window many times at the
same spot.
Such an incident is not uncommon.
Birds have been known to fight for
hours at a time. day after day. with
their own image reflected in a pane
of glass, pecking and fluttering against
the pane and quite exhausting them
selves in their fury to demolish the
supposed rival. 1t is another instance
of how the arts of our civilization
corrupt and confuse the birds. 1t is
the same with fishes.
Darwin tells a story of a pike In an
aquarium separated by plate glass
from fish which were its proper food.
In trying to get at the fish the pike
would often dash with such violence
against the glass as to be completely
stunned. 1t did this for more than
three months before 1t learned eau
ton. Then when the glass was re-
moved the pike would not attack
those particular fishes, but would de-
YOUR others freshly introduced.
1t did not at all understand the sit
%uation, but associated the punishment
It had received not with the glass,
but with a particular kind of fish.
Darwin's American monkeys proved
themselves more knowing" When
they cut themselves once with any
sharp tool they would not touch II
again or else would handle it with the
greatest caution.
Thus they gave evidence of the sim
pier forms of reason of which mon
keys are no doubt capable, but birds
are evidently lacking in reasoning
powers.-The Scotsman.

Lone and Friendship

Nothing was heard in the room but
the hurrying pen of the STRIPPING.
Or an occasional sigh from the labor
ing heart of the Captain,
Reading the marvellous words and
achievements of julius Caesar.
After a while he exclaimed, as he
smote with his hand, palm down
ward,
Heavily on the page: "A wonderful
man was this Caesar!
You are a writer, and | am a fighter,
but here Is a fellow
Who could both write and fight. and
In both was equally skilful!"
~Straightway answered and spake John
Alden, the comely, the youthful:
Yes, he was equally skilled, as you
say, with his pen and his weap-
ons.
Somewhere have l read, but where l
forget, he could dictate
Seven letters at once, at the same
time writing his memoirs"

Japanese Pastime.

Combats between animals of differ.
ent species are a source of great
amusement among the Japanese. One
OF the most popular contests is that
between monkey and goose. The
monkey is tied to one of the goose's
legs. by means of a cord, and both
animals are set down near the bank
of a river, or pond. The goose, stand
ing in dread of the monkey. seeks for
safety in the water. and the monkey,
afraid of the water. exerts himself to
the uttermost not to be drawn into 1t.
AS a rule, the goose draws the monkey
Into the water. and then the cunning
simian sits astride of the goose. in
equestrian fashion. The goose then
tries to dive. and the monkey pre-
vents her If he can; and so the fight
goes on until the spectators tire. and
the animals are released from an un.
c%ongenial companionship.

Names for GOOD Friday"

Perhaps no Christian festival has so
many names as Good Friday. Our
Anglo-Saxon and Danish f%orefathers
called it Long Friday" in allusion
to the length of the days services and
fasting; in france it is Holy Friday"
in Germany either "Stiller Freitagr
Quiet Friday or "Charfreitag," in al.
fusion perhaps to the exhibition of the
crucifx for alteration after being
yelled all through Lent. In the Greek
church it has been known at various
times as The Pascha of the Cross"
THE Preparation. The Redemption"
and THE Day of the Cross" and to
these names the Latins have added
THE Day Of the Lords Passion" THE
Sixth Holy Day of the Pascha," and
many others. Good Friday" seems
to be peculiar to the English lam
guage.

When the rear-guard of his army re-

And the immortal Twelfth Legion was
crowded so closely together
There was no room for their swords?
Why. he seized a shield from a

Put himself straight at the head of

Calling each by his name, to order for
