INSTINCT OR REÄSOHT What a Nature Student H«» Ofewaevatf In Birds and Animal*. Along the hillsides where my home is placed crows assemble vast numbers. Is it only instinct that leads them to set a sentinel oa guard when they pull corn or ma raud the birds’ nests? Blackbird« do the same, and they have kept me on a merry chase—merry for them —just al church time, to get them out of my corn. But in Florida these same birds do not set a guard while hopping all over our gardens. Why? I think because they are catching bugs and know they will not olTend us. Crows roost at a dis tance from their nests. Why? I think the reason is that they are afraid of endangering the limbs where the nests are placed. Co-operative moral order sends the kingbird today to join the crow in fighting the deadly hawk, but an other day I find him fighting the same crow that is stealing a young robin for his dinner. Why do the English sparrows not invade my acres at Clinton? They arc all about inc in vast numbers, just across the street, and they jabber in crowds quite within my hearing, yet hardly once or twice a year does a single sparrow show himself inside my line. If this is instinct, it is very recently acquired instinct, for I had a seri ous task in teaching them that it was unsafe to intrude. Why do my bees refuse to allow one of my hired men to approach the hives? It cannot be instinct, although I confess I cannot trace out the logic involved. Why do two of my hens follow a cow hour after hour about the pasture? Not in stinct, I am certain, but these two have discovered what the others have not, that the cow’s motions stir up grasshoppers and crickets. After my father’s death his dog led strangers into the house, holding their hands in his teeth, and he watched to see if harm was meant. Was that good logic or was it mere instinct ? During a warm summer shower 1 saw an angleworm try to draw a stick into its hole, holding it by the middle. After a vain effort of this sort, it deliberately felt its way to the end of the stick and then drew it easily into the ground. Ils din ner of soft bark was secured. Was this incipient reason? What in stinct could have taught that logical process. Science published my notes on the subject at the time with ap proval. Personally, 1 do not believe that there is an entire absence of these logical processes from any part of living nature—not even from the ovoid cell in which life first ap pears. I am convinced that the uni verse is charged with reason and that instinct is only a byproduct of universal thought.—E. P. Powell in Independent. Their Own Way. Panama, like every other place, has its servant problem, and the plump girls from Jamaica appear to fall a considerable distance behind the standard desired by the Amer ican residents. There are plenty of them, but their quality leaves much to be desired. They have their own ideas about things, anil these are sure to be en tirely contrary to yours. I heard of one who was so wedded to her hat, an old panama, that she could not lie separated from it, and her mis tress had to submit to having her wait on the table with the hat drag ged down over her left eye. An other boiled the beefsteak along tfith some fresh tomatoes and let tuce that had arrived with it on the steamer. This in Panama was a tragedy such as can hardly be appre ciated by strangers. The possession of a steak is sufficient cause always for a dinner party, and a party had been arranged for this occasion, but it had to be called oil.—Demerara Chronicle. The Magic of Odd Numbers. “Even in the matter of weighing groceries there seems n magic in odd numbers,” said a housekeeper. “Most of the packages of salt, sugar, coffee and other commodi ties that grocers keep on hand to facilitate trade contain an odd number of pounds. If you are in. a hurry and ask for a made up pack age of almost any kind of groceries, tradesmen can accommodate you with a one pound, three pound or a five pound package. But the chances are that if you want two pounds or four pounds of anything it will have to lie weighed to order.” —New York Times. Tiaer •THE OFFICE HaiLWL Ila VL«*« f .*<* k» • Mar WM W*v»a Bahi*« On«. “The office milihg,” said an of- IL* man, “is, to be sure, intended primarily to keep people out. It is a barrier at which people can be held up and made to wait if they are nut wanted within, and many a man lias stood there and waited and twid dled his thumbs and choked down his impatience waiting for somebody inside to tell him that he could come in or to send word to him that he was to go away, while all around within the men keep on at work serenely. “But the office railing has another use besides that of keeping people out. It is a barrier the passing, of which may easily be counted as an honor by those who are invited in. “Let some customer come along by chance that way or to see the boss or some member of the firm, and does he have long to wait? Per haps the member from his desk sees him as he conies along, and he’s at the gate in a minute with hand out stretched and— “‘Why, Mr. Stiggby! IIow are you? Come right in!' “And he fairly drags him in, he’s o glad to see him, and he sets him lown i*i a comfortable chair by his esk, v hile lie hii’i elf forgets his v, a work and sits back in bis own hair and smiles in bis plea-lire at meeting Mr. Stiggbv again, and I lit n; "‘How are things going in Mud- ill'*, Mr. Stiggby?
