The monkeys who drown the objectionably sick by shoving them off trees Into the river are certainly rather worse than the Phlloctetes Greeks who marooned for the same reason. But with this should be contrasted Brehms story of the rescue of the young baboon from his dogs by a patriarch of the troop, and the encouragement given by an older stag to a young one which feared to jump a fence. Lord Lovat gives an admirable description of this scene in the volume of the Badminton Library on Deerstalking. The old stag reached over toward the young one at last and "actually kissed him; but the youngster would not jump.

It la worth remembering that even civilised races relapse with astonishing pertinacity to the state, and that in cultured Athens the horrible human sacrifices with which the story of Greece la replete survived as a national Institution, and that every year a man and woman were whipped through the streets and then burned alive to satisfy some such Impulse as prompts similar acts among the Congo negroes.

It Is clear that we cannot expect It from all animals to all other animals, for, the camlvor o u s creatures naturally act after their bind." Probably those who would at any rate desire to see this trait would expect to see either a general tendency to mutual - , aid and comfort among the non-caraivor- warm-- blooded , creatures, or at least a desire such .good offices among those of the same species. We speak now of animals In a state of nature, not domesticated. The former Is probably an Idea quite beyond the range to perform . of ' the ordinary animal mind. It Is possible that those of one species feel sorrow when those of another are In trouble or pain. But there Is no evidence whatever that wild animals ever do this.

It teaches the young men the principles and practice of carpentry, patternmaking, wood carving, blacUsmlthing, vise work and machine construction, and It does It more thoroughly and In far less time than It Is possible to do It In the manufactories themselves. The models are not finished articles, but are simply practice pieces intended to embody general principles in both wood and metal working. I am led to believe that manual training, by enlarging a boys Interests and outlook, not .only help him more surely to find his right vocation, but also tends to make that vocation one of nobleness and worth. And not only' are these young fellows occupied, but they are also successful. As students, teachers, journalists, arelectricians, engineers, chitects, draughtsmen, physicians and lawyers they are steadily making their way to the front, which Is encouraging to those of us who believe In learning by In adapting manual training doing.

But we can recall no single Instance, for example, of a wild animal of one species attempting to defend an animal of another,- even when they are quite competent to do so. It is doubtful If a case has been recorded of buffaloes charging to protect a wounded antelope, though they will do so to save jl wounded member of their own herd; or of elephants or baboons or other creatures which live In society, attempting to protect the wounded young of any other species but their own. Among the creatures which seem to assume the role of sentries for the protection of other animals, there is one, the rhinoceros bird, whose behavior almost justifies the belief that it feels some duty to the antelope or buffalo on whose insect enemies It la feeding, so extraordinary and apparently organized Is the war which it maintains. But this Is a very restless, active bird, and It Is quite possible that Its familiarity with the species on Whose backs It finds food makes It Identify itself to some extent with thfT". It probably Imagines the buffalo to be almost a part of Itself. In any case the instances of Indifference are so overwhelming that we may set the assumption that there is a common sympathy among animals, even when not carnivorous.

Next day a robin was caught, but the sparrows showed no concern whatever. This tendency among the wild races finds definite expression among the domesticated animals, though Instances are not very common.

It took the small pigs head In its mouth and tried to pull It through. In doing which it almost pulled the sufferers head off.
