In contrast to some uorthurn nations, 11 ls hardly too much to say that tho Moor, of whatever class, is born a gentlcmun. There is snob a t;ruce about tho humblest, sticli an easy dignity, that whenever circumstances place them in positions calling for the exercise of courtesy they very seldom fail to respond, nnd thus it comes to pass that in a democratic nation, in whioh every mnn of ability���cunning jiorhap* would bo the bettor word���muy rise to the highest placo, '.veil though he start life ua n slave, tho self proclaiming parvenu is practically nonexistent. Tliis is not, however, to imply that gauchorio nnd tha pleasant manners whicli come from evil dispositions or stupidity are unknown. Unfortunately the lifo led Iiy the average Moor is ono that dwarfs refinement of intellect, as it does development of mind, and tho vices to which the majority stto- cumb in early lifo too often stultify the most prominent commencement.

It has been observed that if tlie tamed dog is taken back to Uie wild itato be loses his voice. These "sounding voices" are produced in the animal throat in it way similar to human language, but are not "voices'' proper nor "languages" proper, and yet tbey are full of psychological expression anil reveal the animal's psychic states. If we tickle a chimpanzee in the armpit, tin touch produces a Krin on the face similar to .hut of n man under like circumstances. He also emits laugbtcrlikn sounds.

Uow docs It communicate tbe news of ii feast to its fellows? A tiger hnd been killed. Colonel Uninsay ordered tho carcii_M. of the skinned tiger to be dragged out vloiu under tbe thick mango trees into the open. Taking out his watch, he iskfid us to make u guess as to how long the vultures would take ta clean the flesh off the bones. Some oue said half au hour. A.e thero was not a vulture in sight, this seemed even betting, but Colonel Ramsay gave them ten njln sites, which proved to be correct. There was one vulture at first soon soaring round anS round very high up in the cloudless sky. He closed his wings nntl dropped on to the carcass witli a swoop. In two minutes the sky was full of vultures, all concentrating from every side ou the spot, and arriving with all the impetus their drop from a great height gave them as fast as it takes to tell the story. Then there commenced a frightful scene of Bteral carnage, every oue tearing with sharp, hooked bill at the entrails first, then at the flesh, all lighting for room to get �� piece aud tumbling over one another with frantie haste.���"Tbe For- csts of Upper India and Their Inhabitants," by T.
