Suicide by q Monkey.

Mr.. DARWIN may find q new proof of
mans development from the ape, in the
fact that monkeys are known to commit
deliberate suicide to escape pain, or other
troubles. The following case Is in point:
A playful assistant to a fish-monger,
with q basket of crabs on his arm, took 1t
into his head, while passing the mon keys
house in the Jardin des Plantes, Paris,
the other day, that 1t would be amusing
to give q crab to one of the monkeys
which held out its ''hand" through the
wires of its cage. The animal, we are
told, looked at it curiously, then raised it
to his mouth. The crab-hitherto inert
now recovered its self-possession, and
took hold of the monkeys nose between
its large claws. The other, with pierre
ing cry, rushed to the roof of the building,
clinging to q chorl The crab continued
to maintain its hold. the monkey frantic

of the struggle, he suspended himself to a
bar, by the tail, AMI swang viOle tly to

enemy, the other apes sitting below on the
ground, looked on with astonishmenr at
the strange spectacle. Suddenly the poor
animal became mOtiOnless. He was. an

A DiSagreeable Visitation.

A TURKISH paper gives an account of Il
curious forced emigration which has re-
Gently produced great excitement on clas-
sic ground. On the European banks of
the HellespOnt stands the city of CALI
poll, interesting as the first possession of
the Turks i'm Europe in 1857; and nearly
opposite to it is Lamsaki, a village long
renowned for the vineyards in its neigh
bOrhOOd, and situated near the site of the
celebrated Lampascus Of classic times.
During the autumn the authorities of Gal
lipOli came to the conclusion that there
were i'm that tOwn-as where are there
not?-too many Ownerless dogs about:
and instead of issuing death-warra 1ts
against these vagrants, they took the ex-
traOrdinary course of exporting them
to their opposite neighbOrs across the
Hellespont, who were already plentifllly
provided with canine treasures. On the
arrival Ofthese two thousand immigrants.
who were very unElly on the passage,
they started, in quest of food it may be
supposed. to the mountains; but not find
ing anything to suit their palates, return
ed to the town. Here the tug OF war
commenced. The Lamsakian CANNES. on
recognizing the situation, ''turned out to
dog" and frightful conflict, with terri
BILE howlings and barkings,. ensued for
four hours. At the end Of that time the
foreign foe was wOrsted, and, beating q
retreat, endeavored to allay the pangs of
hunger by eating the grapes, and thus
doing really serious damage. The people
then had to turn out: two hundred dogs
were killed, and the rest retreated, but
of course only to return. The Dje,-idei
Havadis concludes the account by mildly
saving that the Lamsakians are much dis
gusted by the eccentric conduct of the
GallipOli magistrates, who ought of course
to have sent their canine emigrants to a
desert island.

Advance OF the Human Race.

PROF. HENRY. who writes on the impor-
tance of the cultivation of science. says i'll

that we have descended from a race of an

fish, or struggling for mere existence
with the large quadrupeds OF the times,
gradually emerging from this state by the
invention of weapons OF flint and bone,
through long geological periods, into Il
pastoral condition; thence, again. into
higher state of mental development,
which eliminated in the civilization OF
Greece and Rome, i'm which the true in
sentiment and the beautiful in art were
developed in an astonishing degree. This
progress was mainly due to the migratory
character of the races which contributed
to the condition We have mentioned.
Tribes which remain entirely isolated
may utilize the suggestions and facilities
of life which are afforded them by their To-
calities, and when these are exhausted be-
come permanently stationary, but tribes
impelled by want of subsistence, or the de-
sire of conquest to migrate to other lOcal-
ties, as is stated to have been the case with
the Aryan race in their migration from
the East to the West, gather up the sepa
rate. civilization as they advance, and
hence, by accretion or intercourse with
others, rise to higher plane. But this
mode of advance is limited, and cord
make no further progress than thsfex-
hibited in the brilliant though unsynnet-
rical civilization of Greece and hohle.
This civilization, thought chalt1ges our
admiration and marks an ipporcaht era
in the history of the humsg race, was dee

The Carrier.PigeOn.

THE speed OF the carrier-pigeOn has been
generally Overrated. Careful experiments
have shown thai thirty mites an hour is
the average. although, in a few we'll
authenticated instances, thrice that speed
has been attained. In 1S0S an English
gentleman laid large wager that his pig
con could fly thirty-fi,e miles an hour. TO
decide the question, three of his trained
birds were taken exactly that distance
from his residence, and let loose in the
presence of witnesses. They arrived home
together i'm just tifty-three minutes, or
seven minutes ahead of time. In 1888,
during the great annual trial of carrier
pigeons at Ghent. twenty-fOur birds were
let fly at Rouen, one hundred and fifty
miles distant, at five minutes before ten
in the morning. There flight was care
fully timed. One of them reached Ghent
in one hour and thirty minutes, having
traversed the distance at the marvellous
rate of more than ninety miles an
hour. Sixteen made the journey in two
hours and half. Several were never heard
FROM. In the East wonderful stories are
told of their speed and endurance. The
traveller LithgOw tells us that one will
carry a letter from Babylon to AleppO in
fOrty-eight hours, the place being thirty
days journey apart by the slow modes OF
travel used in the East. But the stories Of
early travellers are to be taken with many
grains of allowance. Although for short
distance, or in exceptional cases, the car
rier-pigeOn may attain a much greater
speed, thirty miles an hour is probably its
average. 1t could not sustain long flight
with greater velocity.
Even this speed cannot be maintained
without rest. for the carrier-pigcOn has
nOt .he endurance which belongs to MANY
birus of passage. 1t always descends at
night for shelter and repOse, and hence it
can rarely fly across a wide eXpanSe of
water. To this was partly owing the fail
ure OF the attempt to use them for convey
ing intelligence from the arctic explorers,
and partly to another cause. Some writers,
chiefly poets and romancers, would have
us believe that the carrier-pigeOn finds his
home from remote places by Il kind of in
stinct: but this is not the case. Its flight
is guided by sight alone. When let loose
from confinement it rises 70 a great height
i'm the air by series of constantly en-
larging circles, until it catches sight OF
some familiar landscape by which to direct
its course. Ii flown Oil foggy day it soon
becomes bewildered, and either returns to
the place of flight or is lost. Let loose
from balloon on clear day. and too far
above the ground for objects thereon to be
discerned even by its piercing vision, in
ST, ad of risi'g, it drops perpendlcularly.
like plummet, until it nears the earth,
when it begins to wheel round in Il descend
ing spiral, constantly increasing in diam
eter, evidently tor the purpose above men
toned, of ascertaining its locality and dis
covering some in lie itiOns for the direction
of its course.-Harper's for april.

The Traffic In Slaves In Egypt.

The correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph, who accompanies Sir Bartle
Frere's expedition to take steps for the
abolition Of the slave trade in Africa, In
recent letter, sends the following notes OF
the traffic in slave in Egypt.
Every class of society, from pashas and
beys down to petty shOp-keeper, in
dulges in the luxury and vice which 1t at
fords. No one can pretend to respecta-
biliry-a sort of social franchise-without
this property qualification. No unmar'
ried man can obtain lodgings in respecta-
BILE quarter of town unless he has q wife
or a female slave. Thus men who visit
large cepters of business, and who are
compelled to live there among the people
for some time, buy female slaves, whom
they resell or otherwise dispose OF when
they leave for their homes. All this, taken
together with the extent of the country
and the population, warrants the conclu-
sion that the absorption of slaves In Egypt
is enormous. There are no open markets
in Cairo, such as the mart at Zanzibar, for
the sale of slaves but am informed by
natives that private establishments for the
purpose abound in the native town, where
an Egyptian can buy slaves without any
difficulty whatever. Such is also the case
in every town in the interior, where the
traffic is more open. There are two races
of slaves sold In Egypt, the white and
black. The former are imported from
Turkey, are highly priced, and are bought
only by the rich. They are generally
made concubines. Of course young and
good-looking girls fetch high prices,
amounting IN seme cases to thousands oi
pounds. Before being sold, they art
usually taught certain accomplishments
valued by Turkish and Egyptian volup-
tuaries, such as singing, in some cases
music, and invariably the gait and benav-
ior Of high-class lady. As ie the case
with women In these countries, the cnarmS
of these girls fade at an age wnisn 10 tha., Goau
have to make room in the harem for fresh
victims.
