There are lots of people who do not believe animeals think, and they will laugh at you if you do; and wisely inform you animals act instinctively. You do not know what that means —19 of. 20 grown-ups who use the word do not know either. Instinct is erited habit those who protend to w will tell you; that antmals do naturally what their par- | ents before them have done. ‘This is the explanation they wil give for the horse that neighs when he hears the footsteps of his master, or at the dinner hour when he wants to be fed. For the ox in a herd which hides because ft does not want to be yoked. For the dog that knows the time of day to watch for his master’s com- ing. For the appearance of the gander by the nest the day before the goslins are hatched. For the colt you can’t catch in the fleld if he sees you with a halter in your hand. For a dog that goes for a paper every day knowing when Sunday comes. 3 For the dove In the street that flies when a Doy picks up a stome. TFor the spider that depends upon the wind to assist it in making guve for its web, Tor every mantfestation of intelli- gence imagtnable observed in creatures of the water, air or earth the answer is “they de things out thought.” This is the reason if you pick up a club or whip a dog will run away from you; or if you speak cross to a sensitive horse his pulse-beats will in- crease four a mintte. We mustn't laugh at this, because these learned people know, and we are only in doubt. If you say ‘“I'm going to wash the dog!” and the dog looks rervous and runs from you with his tail between his legs, it is not because he knows like a child that he Is to be subjected to disagreeable treatment, but because his mother and grandmother, his fath- er_and grandfather, all his sisters and brothers, cousins and aunts did not like to be washed and felt the same 7] from habit with- way. The fish caught on a hook rushes under a log or beneath a boat to break away from the angler from a personal teeling of peril. If he ever had an ancestor caught he never went back to_ warn his tribe of it, and how do you suppose he realizes his danger? In- stinctively, of course.

I My Vacation. ‘Well, school is over with, and I am getting things ready for my vacation. I have got all my dresses packed nize and clean in the suitcase, as I did not need a trunk. Arriving in the town of S—— where I intended to spend my vacation, I was warmly greeted by my dearest ghl friend, Mabel. We chatted and laughed until we reached Mabel's home, a large, com- fortable farmhouse, with a wide, spa- cious veranda in front. There I was hugged and kissed by Mabel’s mother, A BALL OF CORD Allen wanted his kite to go up high- er but the cord gave out. He ran into the house to_get more. “Where's mamma? ‘Where's mam- ma?” he shouted upstairs and down. “Out!” called Gertle from the sit- ting room, where she was studying her lessons. ‘What a strange thing it is that when little boys want them, mammas are #0 often out—or busy “I know where to get ocord, any- From the drawer where mamma kept paper and cord, always ready for ty- ing up parcels, Allen took a big new ball of cord. It had been bought only & day or two before. Now the ball of cord was very much the search, and went off to play shinny with Channing. The ball of cord among the bushes complained worse than before, “Now I shall rot away before I am even unwound,” it cried. “It would have been better to fly a Kkite than this! It is strange that when one wishes to be useful, one is left to such a fate!” Just then a little bird hopped down beside the ball of cord. He examined it knowingly. Then he chirped a lit- tle, and down fléw his mate. They chattered awhile together. What they talked about the ball of cord did not understand, but what they meant to do it soon found out. The two birds secured the end of cord which was straying among the bushes, and little by little, with much patient labor, the pretty pair of orioles pulled the whole ball of cord up into the tree. They drew it from twig to twig, and fastened it firmlg among the ‘branches. Then they wove it with bits of grass and threads and feathers, un- til they constructed & wonderful thing, A love home up among the tree-tops!

The Hunt for Huckleberries. Just as the sun began fo rise in the beautiful morning sky, we were all off Wwith our old straw hats and pails to hunt for some berries. We had not been walking very long before we got tired, so we climbed up on a large rock to enjoy the beautiful odor of the large pine trees that sur- rounded it We remained there for about fifteen :ue;nte., then proceeded on our jour- Soon we came to a large fence which entered a lovely berry lot. “Oh! See the large ripe berries” cried oné of the girls, “and so many of them.” Then we were all busy ‘picking them, each one trying to see who could plck the most. Soon most every one of /us had a quart of berries, at least, and every ome was quite hungry. : We then hunted for a nice tree to sit under and eat the lunch we car- ried. The tree Fas soon found and e re Now enjoyin; ] T qrers mow enjoying the contents When we had finished we then be- gan to fill our other pails, until about 5 o'clock we proceeded on our journey {home again, each person carrying eight quarts of fine large berries. { Luckily we met a farmer, who gave us a ride into town. ; On our way he explained to us about the deer, squirrels and rabbits which we_met. When we reached home we thanked this kind man and hurried in the house to show our well earned treasures. ANGIE WHITE, Age 15. Stafford Springs. E N A Worm’'s Experience. One warm, rainy, afternoon in June, We_were sitting on the piazza wh a family of toads came around the corner of the house. We watched them a short time when we noticed that one toad was look- ing toward the grass very intently. So one of us stepped down from the {porch and discovered a large worm | almost hidden in the grass. He put the worm on the concrete walk and we waited to see what would hap- pen. The toad did mothing but look at the wori at first. As he saw thg Worm crawling away he took a bite at it, but that only made the worm g0 all the quicker. Finally the toad cornered the worm and kept biting at it and gradually We began to see the worm disappear and just es the toad had almost fin ished him the other end of the worm came out and continued to do sq un- til the worm was on the concreat walk again. The toad then slowly hopped away. Another toad pame along and seeing the worm made a dash for it as the other toad had done. The worm dis- appeared and we never saw it again. This toad also hopped away its sides looking like velvet pouches. After- wards we examined the toad and found it to be very sleepy and do you ! wonder? . RUTH B. SCRIVENER, Age 13. Norwich. ' Ways Almira Earns Money. Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell Yyou a few ways by which I earn money in my summer vacation. When we have strawberrics 1 help pick them and papa gives me two cents a quart. Then when the cherries are ripe I plck some to sell and I get the money *| for those I pick. Afterwards when the hay is ready to get in, I help make the load and T get five cents a load. That is how 1 earn money during vacation, and now I am going to tell you about the good times I have. fireworks and have the neighbors come to my house in the evening. Then we shoot off the fireworks and after- wards we have lemonade and peanuts. Later in the summer my parents, my brother ‘and I go to see a dear aunt of mine who lives in Stonington. My father and brother go back home the same day, but my mother and T stay with my aunt several days. Last year we went to Mystic and also to Watch Hill. ALMIRA KRAMER, Age 12. Colchester.

He plays with me out on the lawn. I take music lessons and he shgs when I practice. I love him. When 1 go to the store Jack comes too, He carries home some of my things if 1 have a big order. He is a very little dog, too. He carries home meat, gelatine, my purse. or a yeast cake. Then he will sit up in front of us and look so proud; and we say “Good boy!” and_he $ happy.

Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I wouid tell you about a little seven year old girl whose name is Agnes McCullough. Her grandmother, a woman of (0 years, had shown signs of mental ab- erration for several weeks, but no one had thought of her as liable to commit violence. One morning, however, when Agnaes and the old lady were alone in an up- per room, the grandmother seized a bufcher knife which had been lying on the table, and ran for the chiid, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, partially dressed. The insane woman grabbed the girl by screamed: “Now T'll kill you! my childfen!” The little girl, with intuition remark- able for her years, realized that she was in the grasp of an insane sper- son. “Grandma, don’t get the blood on tne bed clothes. Wait till I get a towel,” she said. | The woman released her hold on the child’s hair, and she ran down into the kitchen, where she told her mothor. The two hurried to the police station {and an ambulance removed the old woman to the hospital. RACHBL NOWICK, Age 10. Norwich. the hair and You are nome of The Bilue Jay. Dear Uncle Jed: I wonder how many of the Wide-Awakes have seen the blue jay and know just where it Is found.” No one has written about the blue jay so I thought I would. . The biue jay is fouad only in Amer- ica. Its color is purplish-blue above and whitish below, with lighter blue wings, and tail .marked with black bands, and in some places tipped with | white. On its head is a beautiful blue crest. The blue jay is noisy, | mischievous, and quarrelsome. It robs the nests of other birds of their eggs and young. I have seen a blue jay steal esgs from a king bird's nest in an apple tree, near our house. It's usual note js a harsh scream, {and it can imitate voices and sounds. The southern negroes believe the biue jay is the agent of the devil; and that it carries to him slanderous stories about colored people. So they take great delight whenever they catch one, in wringing it’s neck. If taken from the nest when quite young the blue jay may be easily tamed. It will learn to ta.k, but not so well as a parrot. The blue jay gets its name from it"s color. ALICE F.BURRILL, Age 16. Stafford Springs. The Foal. One day when Arthur went into the stable to talk to Beauty, who was al- ways pleased to be petted and talk- ed to, the stable boy, who was giving the horses some oats, told him there | was a pretty little foal out in the| meadow, and would he like to come | and see it? | _Arthur said: “Yes, of course” so the two boyvs scampered away to look throush the hedge at the little horse, whiclt Arthur. thought was the fun- niest thing he had ever seen. They were afraid to go into the meadow, because the foal was with its moth- er. Arthur'’h father told him he had bought the foal because it was so handsome, and he was going to bring it up and have it trained. By and by when Arthur had been | to school and come back, he found it bad grown quite large. It was being taught all sorts of tricks and pretty FRANK PARDY, Age 13. Norwich. - The Penquin.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED. A Visit to Mohegan Park. Dear Uncle Jed: Vacation has besn heré now nearly a month. and I have been having a very good time. Yesterday 1 went out near the Tur- tle pond after berries. Huckleberries are not very plentiful as yet, but my sister and 1 got about three quarts Sunday I went up to Mohegan pars. On the way up I saw several birds’ nests; also several young birds. I think one was the nest of a scarlet tanager. In this nest were three eggs and hovering near were a large tanager and his mate. While up in the park I saw several deer, one very small one; a large sheep with two very long horns; also a good many other sheep, Coming back from the park we found many large cup-shaped flowers in the thickest part of the woods. 1 hope all the Wide- Awakes and you, Uncle Jed, will visit the park and have a very pleagant time.

Dear Uncle Jed: Our neighbor Major is a very kind dog. He once carried a” hungry kitten in his mouth to the farm house where the family bought their milk. Since then he has shown his good heart in another way. Major is a large dog. You might suppose he would be fond of teasing other dogs. Some great boys like vex, and sometimes hurt smaller boys; but Major has ne such fault. A little while ago there came to the house a poor, lean, hungry stranger. It was a dog who had lost his master and had no home. When he saw Major he stopped and looked fright- ened: but Major bace him welcome in dog ianguage and seemed to pity him The stranger looked so forlorn that the family let him remain and rest. He all-absorbing qus In this connection® it is interesting to note an article in the July number of the Mouthly Builetin of ‘the Pan American Union, W: gton, D, C. in which, under the title of “Uruguay as a Cattle Country’ interesting details as to the live k industry of this rich ‘I’illle republic of South ven. ago the hacendados Uruguay complained to the govern- t that over 450,000 head of cat were being killed annually for their hides alons The were thrown to the dogs, or left on the roll- ing pampas for the vultures to de- vour. Beef in Uruguay was so plenti ful that it was something of a nuis- ance evidently. Of course that day has but they still have cat- tle enough down there to comvert some 700,000 head into 113,000,000 pounds of jerked beef in ome year, most of which is sold to Brazil, Cuba, Porto Rico, and other tropical coun- tries. Think of the julcy tenderloins of 700,000 head of cattie going into jerked beet. Again there are’many thousands of Uruguayan cattle annually converted into extract of beef. Perhaps but few people know that the first great fas- tory for the production of. beef ex~ tract known to the world was estab- lished at Fray Bentos, a little city on the Urugauy River about 100 miies wus fed and washed and permitted to sleep by the kitchen fire. He stayed at the house a {ew days and then be- gan to look strong and happy. One day Major's mistress said: Now that dog is well again he must go away. It is time he went to his own master!” So she took the broom and made a motion with it to drive the stranger from the kitchen; and what do you think Major sald to that? Nothing in words, but he walked up to the poor dog and put one arm gently over his neck. Then he looked at his mistress severely as 1if to say: “If he goes 1 go too!” The poor dog was permitted to stay till his master came for him. ALDEA LePAGE, Age 11 Lime. Dear Uncle Jed: 1 might have writ- ten you a letter before now, but didn't. 1 will tell you a few things, about lime. Lime is not a real plant food. It helps to improve the soil. The other fertilizers in the soil need the lime. Alfalfa and clover need more than any other crops. When red clovar fails to grow on soil where it did once this shows that the soil needs lime. A fleld can be tested by laying off a plot of four square rods; add a bushel of lime on half of the plot and manure on half of it in the other di- rection. On this pi8t you can see what the results of lime and manure aloae and together will be. Lime is found In the earth in lim: stone. When lime is burned a gas is given off and quicklime is left. This is used in plastering. About 500 pounds to one ton of lime is added to an acre at a time. If moce is needed it can be added In a few years. I hope the Wide-Awakes have not forgotten me.

The world-wide reputation of this concern is perhJps largely due to the high grade of the cattle of Uruguay, as well as to. the cleanly and sclentific manner of the preparation: of the product. The writ er of the article in the Bulletin stat: “Fray Bentos has been called - th greatest kitchen in the world. On some days 2,500 head of cattle are slaughtered, then treated so as to get the finest meat from them, the bome: and ribs, the intestines, tails, sine hoofs, and other parts being reserved for their various uses. But this spec- ial meat is subjected to scientific pre- paration; it is cooked, to be sure, ia a real kitchen, and with the best pos- and _attention to detall. | There are chemists, laboratories, gineers, and authorities on technical | matters, all engaged in cooking the | beef s0’as to turn it out in the most | acceptable form as the well -known | and popular extract.
