ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY.
Sir,—l have visited many zoos, and places where birds and animals are kept in captivity, but have never once seen any with a hunted look .of anguish on their faces, or even a miserable look. They seem to me to like to. be looked at and petted, as much as we love petting them. If "Glan Aber" were to ask our Brazilian parakeet what he thought about his captivity, he would tell him in pretty forcible language how happy he was, and prove it by dancing, singing and reciting to him. I inadvertently left the canaries' cage door and thirteen canaries flew out, but by dinner time every one was back in the cage, which proves they knew a jgood homo when they had one, and d<r not mind being kept in captivity either. Lover of Animals.
