Darwin tells of a cat that used to put its paw into the mouth of a narrow milk-jug and then lick it off, and that its kittens soon learned the same trick. In all such cases, hasty observers say the mother taught its young. Certainly the young learned, but there was no effort to teach on the part of the parent. Unconscious imitation did it all.
With a proud smile she set down a jug about as large as a milk-jug for two coffee-drinkers, and withdrew. Smiling to herself, Brigit dressed and then went into her sitting-room, and opening a window looked down into the street. It is a most important thoroughfare, this Rue d'Argentin; the Rue de la Paix de Falaise. Leaning out the window and looking to her left Brigit beheld the Place St.
IN the late afternoon of the second day our flotilla reached the Elbe at Brunsbüttel and ranged up in the inner basin, while a big liner, whimpering like a fretful baby, was tenderly nursed into the lock. During the delay Davies left me in charge, and bolted off with an oil-can and a milk-jug. An official in uniform was passing along the quay from vessel to vessel counter-signing papers.
Hence we pick a fly out of a milk-jug and watch with pleasure over its recovery, for we are confident that under no conceivable circumstances will it want to borrow money from us; but we feel less sure about a mouse, so we show it no quarter.
For the first time in fifty-six hours he took his fill of natural dreamless sleep: and, on waking next morning, the first sight that greeted him was a letter from Dalhousie, propped against the milk-jug on his early tea tray. Duster. It is an order you understand!

To me, alas! no verdurous visions come, Save yon exiguous pool's conferva-scum, No concave vast repeats the tender hue That laves my milk-jug with celestial blue! Me wretched!
'All gone, Ethel, he said, with a lazy smile, as Ethel mechanically, with her eyes on the newspaper, tried all her vessels round, and found cream-jug, milk-jug, tea-pot, and urn exhausted; 'will you have in the river next? 'What a shame! said Ethel, awakening and laughing. 'Those are the tea-maker's snares. 'Do send it away then, said Aubrey, 'the urn oppresses the atmosphere.
Then a fag came in and took a spoon, and after him another fag, with a mug, into which he poured half of the contents of Oliver's milk-jug; and finally a big fellow rushed in in a desperate hurry and snatched up a chair and made off with it.
On the dirty table stood a milk-jug with a news-sheet folded and laid across its top, a half-loaf of bread, and a plate of meat but of what kind we did not pause to examine. It looked nauseous enough. A brindled cat made a dash past us and upstairs. Its unexpected charge greatly unsettled Mr. Trapp. "It daunts me I declare it do!" he confided hoarsely.
'It is certainly a correspondence, he comforted her, and then, reading it aloud, he proceeded to pin it on the wall above the mantelpiece: 'The Starlight Xpress starts to-night, Be reddy and punctuel. Sleep titely and get out. That was all. But everybody exchanged glances. 'Odd, thought Mother, again remembering her dreams. Jimbo upset the milk-jug.
