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.

“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
