12. In my chapter on instinct, I told you that animals seemed almost to possess the intelligence of human beings a something generally called instinct. When we say that instinct prompts all their actions, we cannot tell whence this instinct arises.

13. Man possesses a brain which prompts all his actions; and as all animals have some brain, therefore it is reasonable to say that their actions are the result of it. By careful observation it has been proved that as far as the brain of animals is developed, they exhibit the same traits and peculiarities that we do; and it has also been proved that the different portions of the brains of animals produce different actions.

14. The monkey is particularly attached to her young; and she has a marked prominence in her skull, immediately above Amativeness; and so of all other animals that have a particular care for their young.

15. Do not forget the name of this organ, although it is a long one, but always remember that Philoprogenitiveness gives love for young.

12. What do all animals seem to possess? Why are not we satisfied in saying that instinct prompts the actions of animals? 13. What does the brain of man do? Have animals a brain? What do we then infer? What has observation found to be true? What is true of different portions of the brain of animals? 14. What is said of the monkey in relation to this organ? 15. What must children not forget? What does Philoprogenitiveness mean?

DEFINITION-Fondness for friends; attachment; desire to live in society, and to be surrounded with friends.

LOCATION-Adhesiveness is situated on both sides the back head, just above and outward of Philoprogenitiveness.

1. You see by the cut that two friends are represented with their arms around each other, as if engaged in social conversation. This is what Adhesiveness means; or in other words, when we see persons very fond of having warm-hearted friends to associate with them, and very desirous of companions, we shall find this organ large in their heads.

2. I have often seen little girls, who choose some particular ones among their schoolmates, confide to them their little joys and sorrows, and walk to and from school together. I have seen boys, also, walk in the street with their arms twined around each other's necks, and always in each other's society. They say they love each other very much, and I am sure that

does the cut represent? What feeling does Adhesiveness incite? 2. In what way do little girls exhibit this organ? In what way do boys exhibit this organ?

their happiness is thus increased. I

presume all persons

have some one whom they call their friend.

3. It is right, children, to exercise this organ. We should be very cold-hearted, if, living as we do, surrounded by our fellow-beings, we felt no interest in them, and did not wish to associate with them. Suppose, in attending school, you should form no attachments with your schoolmates; recess would not be welcomed, as it now is, as a fine time in which to play and have sport. You would no more desire to sail your kite, to jump the rope, or to amuse yourselves in a great many other ways as you now do, if you had not kind friends to share your sports, and to engage with you in the frolic.

4. If men and women had not this organ large, we should not have as many handsome, thickly-settled villages as we now have. People would live alone in the wilderness, or in the thick forest; but now, when a family moves to a new country, where they are compelled to cut down the trees for room to build their house, another family goes, and then another, till what was once a forest of trees becomes in a few years a large village, with houses, stores, churches, etc., etc.

5. Yes, children, make friends; treat them kindly, and you will be more happy than if you lived alone, with no ties of love and affection.

6. This feeling of attachment is also seen among

What would be the result if men and women had no adhesiveness? In what way would people live? What takes place now when a family moves to a new country? 5. Then what should all children do? 6. Is this feeling of friendship confined to man alone?

animals. They rarely ever live alone. Birds live and fly in companies. One bee never lives alone in the hive, but hundreds swarm together. One beaver never builds his hut alone, but a company of beavers associate, and each performs his particular part. Sheep skip and play together in the open field. This is true of almost all animals, and they, with us, have a little prominence on their skulls, caused by the development of the brain, which we call Adhesiveness.

7. Dogs have a large organ of Adhesiveness, and they evince the most devoted attachment to their masters. A man had a dog that was his constant companion by night and by day. He went with him when he hunted, and when he fished, and was always at his side. The man was taken sick and died. The dog would not leave his bedside, and after they buried his master, refused to take any food. In about a week he was missing, and no one could tell where he had gone, till some one chanced to pass the grave-yard, and saw the poor dog dying, stretched on the mound where his master had been laid, as is represented in the following cut. This was a striking proof of true and sincer affection.

6. How does the bee show this feeling? How does the bird show attachment? The beaver? Sheep? What have all these animals that exhibit this feeling? 7. Relate the anecdote of the dog. What are hi particular characteristics?

DEFINITION-Love of home; attachment to one place, and unwillingness to change

frequently.

LOCATION-Inhabitiveness is situated between the two organs of Adhesiveness, directly above Philoprogenitiveness.

1. You have all heard, children, the song, "Be it ever so lowly, there's no place like home." There is a separate and distinct part of the brain which gives this feeling. When it is large, the spot which the person calls his home is to him the dearest spot on earth.

2. It is this feeling that makes the Irishman's poor and lowly hut, mostly made of mud and logs, pleasant and agreeable to him. The winds may blow around his dwelling; yet he cares not for the storm, if he and his friends are in their home, miserable though it may be.

3. This feeling is sometimes so strong, that persons are not contented unless they are at home. Especially
