Monkey Doctor.

A previous narratives of intelli-
gent proceedings or the part Of an
imals are thrown in the shade by
the following account of a medical
monkey, described by the Oriental
correspondent Of q London journal:
He one day saw a monkey holding
a snake by the throat and rubbing
its head in the dirt, but, as the
ground was moist and damp, the
snake was not readily killed by this
mode of punishment. Every now
and then the monkey would look
most knowingly in the face of the
reptile to see if it was dead, and in
the course of one of these inyesti
cations the monkey received q Sc
we're bite, This angered him and
he speedily dispatched the snake,
but its coils had hardly relaxed be-
fore the monkey fell PROSTATE, ap-
parently in all the agOnies Of death
| by poison. By this time an aged
looking monkey arrived on the
scene, and after examining the body
| of the snake and the victim he i'm
mediately started for some neigh
lboring bushes, where he collected
some leaves Of the plant known a
1.-THE cherchita. These he rapidly
fashioned into a sort of pill, which
he administered to his snake bitter
Icompanion, who speedily revived
and walked off with mis- physician
The story is declared to come from
Trustworthy sources.

A Snake in a Ladv,s chignon.

A letter from Genesee to the Syra-
cuse New York; Standard under
date of September "a, relates the fol
lowing: yesterday, on the train
on the Erie Railway which runs
from Rochester to Dansville, and
reaches there at ten A. NJ, most sin
gular Circumstance occurred. When
the train was about three miles from
this village, the passengers in one
Of the coaches were alarmed by the
singular actions ofa lady who gave
her name as Mary P. Rhoades, of
Adrian, Michigan, and a relative of
Rev. C. T. Seibt, of Olean, N. Y.
She was leaning over seat, ,uttering
the most piercing cries. A gentle
man rushed to her and asked the
trouble. She made no answer but
continued to scream the louder.
When the train reached this village
she was helped into the waiting-room
and a gentleman present procured a
glass Of brandy, which being given
to the lady, she appeared to recover
some. A lady standing near at this
Ijuncture gave a scream, and pointing
to the head of Miss Rhoades, tainted.
On examination q large striped
snake was observed cOiled around
the chignon of the lady. How it
came there was a mystery, and only
explained by the theory that it had
got into the car and took refuge IN
| der the cushions of the car seat.
Miss Rhoades stated that she felt
something crawling up her head, but
lcould only give vent to her feelings
in screams,and until it was taken of

ter was. The snake was killed and
the affair produced no little excite
ment for the time"

Advertising a Fine Art

There are all sorts of ways to ad-
vertise, but the last instance in
which enterprise and self-possession
were admirable mingled, occurred
at the recent execution ofa Grimm
al in Washington territory. Just as
he was about to be swung of, and
after he had remarked to the sheriff
he had nothing further to say, real
estate agent whose Office was in his
hat, forced himself to the front, and
up the steps of the scafold, and
jointly addressing the criminal and
the sheriff, said:
"If the gentleman a1hO occupies
the platform will kindly yield for q
fe10 moments, 1 would like to make
a few remarks upon the cheap home
stead lots at Dobson's Hole, l am
now offering for sale.
The polite request was assented
to, and after a brief summary Of the
advantages presented by the locality
the sheriff resumed his duties, pull
ed the cap over the "gentlemsn's"
countenance, and permitted him TO
drop.

Forca of Imaeiration.


An esteemed friend of ours heard
of the medical properties of GER
tain spring some distance rom where
she resided. She had read PAM
phlet which enumerated many dis
eases, among which she recognized
at least half dozen with which she
was afflicted. To her great joy she
was told that her son had to call at
the very town where the spring was
located, and five-gallon keg and a
sstrict Injunction were laid upon him
to bring back some of the water.
The keg was put in the wagon,
and slipping under the seat was quite
overlooked. He had got near home
| in the evening, when feeling down
under the seat for something, his
hand struck the keg. He therefore
drew I'D his horse by the side Of a
wall. near which was the old sweep
well from which the family had drank
| for a century, and filling the keg
went home. The first question put
to him was:
"Did you get that water?"
eyes" said he, 'but darned if see
anv difference in it from any other
water" And forthwith the keg was
brought in.
A cup was handed to the invalid
who drank with infinite relish, and
said she was surprised at her sons
not seeing a difference. There wa:
undoubtedly q medical taste about
lit, and it dried up as other watel
did, which she had always heard o
mineral water.
Her son hoped it would do hel
some good, and by the time the keg
was exhausted she was ready to give
q certificate of the value of the water
it having relieved her of all her nu
lmerous ills.

overreaching Himself

An anecdote is told Of Velpeau,
the eminent French surgeon. He
had successfully performed, on q lit
tie child five years old, q most peril

him and said:
aMonsieur, my son is saved, and

"Oh, Madame" replied Velpeau,
sharply, "my art is not merely .

"But Monsieur, what remuner9-
ton do you desire2 Fix the fee

Curious Case of Love.

Old ladies in their 6sth year are
not accustomed, We are happy to say,
to fall in love; but Mrs. R-W-,
in Mendocino county, Cal, long q
widow and the mother of just one
dozen children, entertained q tender
passion for some one who is satis-
factorily described as "a gentleman
There were obstacles to union-the
course of true love ran ss rough as
usual. Then it was that this an
cient Sappho felt that life was no
longer worth having. She didn't
spring from cliff into the sea with
harp in her hand, like the Greeian
dame; but she less romantically took
a dose Of bedbug poison, and though
they gave her great quantities Of lard
and sweet milk, she suffered untold
agonies for twenty days, and then
she exhaled-"breathed her last" as
the Santa Rosa Democrat puts it.
There seems to be no good philosO-
phical reason why s person aged
sixty eight years should not exper-
fence the Cupidian thrills and throes
and so forth; but to die the death
of bedbug for the sake Of any gen
tleman is what no old lady had best
submit to. A mild course Of de-
pleting medicines would be much
better.

Will it Pay to Hold on to Your
Graino

1t is understood that q portion of
the Western wheat growers are hold
ing back their crop for higher prices,
and some think this fact is one cause
for the present depression Of bust
ness. That the policy is a bad one,
as a rule, no careful observer can
question. When waste and interest
on the capital required to carry 3
crop is considered, it is not difficult
to see that chances to profit from
the hold-back policy are few and far
between. The interest on this cap
ital is of as much importance to the
farmers as the banker. The steadily
declining price of wheat at London
and Liverpool, together with the
small shipments from here, evidence
that this only foreign market is slip
ping away from US and being sup
piled from other sources mot unlike
" by tho same nations which were
last year its competitors in the buy
ing from US. We see it published
that there are in store in New York,
at this time, some 100000 bushels
of wheat, against only 100000 bush
els one year ago; and if shipments
do not soon increase there is a prob
ability that by the close of naviga-
ton that city will hold the extraor-
binary stock of over 3, 100000 bush
els, against the average of less than
/, 100000 bushels. This state of af-
fairs does not indicate any perma-
nent improvement in the price of
wheat for the remainder of the year,
but rather tends toward even lower
prices for such as will find its way
to market at any price; this in turn,
will only tighten the grip Of the
"holding-on class" So that depres-
sion and prostration of all the in
terests depending on and connected
with the wheat growing section may
as well be acce oted as the rule for
another twelve months. Had this
crop of wheat been promptly mark
| eted until Great Britain would take
| no more, it would have infused new
life into all the industries and trades
of the country and have contributed
, toward the liquidation of our for
eign debt. As it is, except for our
own need, the whole crop might as
well have been grasshoppered so far
as it is of any benefit to the country
1t is the locking up of just so muct
, capital, which should be freely cir
culated, imparting life and yigo
{ through all the veins of commerce.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SA'
In speaking of a persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember, those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone;
If we have nothing else to do
Than talk of those who sin,
'Tis botter we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man,
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has not?
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you Of better plan,
And find it works full well;
To tr ymy own defects to cure
Ere others faults 1 tell;
And though sometimes hope te be
No worse than some know,
Ny own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let Us all, when We begin
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think Of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember,-curses,s sometimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at home;"
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none Of our own.

CAUTIONS N VISITING THE Sick
DO not visit the sick when you are
fatigued, or when in q state Of per-
spiration, or with the stomach empty
for in such conditions you are
liable to take the infection. When
the disease is very contagious, take
the side of the patient which is near
the window. Do not enter the room
ea-ly in the morning, before it has
been aired; and when you come
away take some food, change your
clothing. and expose the latter to
the air for several days. Tobacco
smoke is a preventive Of malaria

come when fires are to be -kindled.
Old cracked stoves will be brought

ces to some body will be disastrous.

some one will find when too late,

COUNTRY JOURNALISM. - Since
writing a paragraph on this subject,
which appears elsewhere, we have
read an editorial on the same sub
ject in this mornings Chronicle. The
lesson which it seeks to draw from
the death of the Benicia Tribune
seems to be that since the establish
ment of railroads a paper in a coun-
try town is unnecessary. Inferen-
TALLY the inhabitants ought to sub
local organ die. The fact of the
matter is that there is not paper in
San Francisco that will assist in any
way to build up an interior town.
On the other hand a bright editor
properly sustained by the inhabi-
tants can MAKE town. Does any
one deny that the amusing nonsense
published by Bailey has had an
effect on the prosperity Of Danbury?
Danbury is known to great many
as the place where the Danbury
Ne,cs is published. Not long ago
man worth considerably over mill
lion in money and land, pulled a
Kansas paper out of his pocket, and
pointing to the name at the head of
the column, said: "I depend en-
tirely on that man to make the
property I own in this place valua-
ble." A country paper might be as
pleasing to the inhabitants of San
Mateo, San Jose, Grass Valley, Ma
rysville, Placerville, Los Angeles, or
other interior towns as one filled
with the scandal of the metropolis
can be. The natural advantages of
the surrounding country afford as
pleasing a text as murder in dive
or the latest discoveries of fraud
among city officials. The country
newspaper is a great advertisement
for the town in which it is published,
and it is to the interest of every in
habitant to contribute to its support.

A WORD ABOUT MARRIAGE.-Our
experience has thrown us among
women of all classes, and it teaches
us that the good Father never gave
a man a greater proof of his love
than to place woman here with him.
Our advice is: Go, propose to the
most sensible girl you know. If she
says yes, tell her how much your in
come is-from what source derived
and tell her you will divide the last
dollar with her, and love her with
all your heart in the bargain. Our
word for it, she will live within your
income, and to your last hour you
will regret that you did not marry
sooner. Gentlemen, don't worry
about feminine extravaganza and
feminine untruth. Just you be true
to her sincerely, and tell her of it
frequently, and a more fond, faithful,
foolish slave you will never meet
anywhere. You won't deserve her,
we know, bat she would never see
it. Now, throw aside pride and sell
fishness, and see what will become
of it,-LYoN COUNTY TIMES.
That's all very nice, Frank-or
would be, if it were not for the pes
tiferous habit the darlings have OF
saying "no," just when fellow
don't want them to; but how did
YOU find out all of those things?
That's what we'd like to know

MALLEABLE GLAss.-It is evident
to all that a method which would
result in rendering glass malleable
and ductile would be a wonderful
and valuable advancement in art.
Such a method it is believed has
been perfected to such an extent
that glass can be hammered and
drawn out as iron or copper and the
most delicate articles resist breakage
as we'll as those metals. We have
had translated for us, says the Deer
Lodge, Montana, New North West,
by Mr.. Peter Walton, Esq, an article
from lie Liberal de pEst, Belfort,
France, Oct. Sth, 1874, giving the
history of this great achievement.
NJ. de La Battle, wealthy gentleman
of Chateau Richemont in the Com
mune de Brioy has been conducting
experiments at his chateau for the
past five or six years and has had
engaged with him one of the eminent
chemists of France. NJ. de La Bate
and his assistant labored assiduous-
ly in the face of many almost unsur-
mountable obstacles, the chemist at
one time abandoning the work as
impossible. The former, however,
persisted, and his companion, rein
spired by his faith, Joined in new
series of experiments which resulted
in the fullest success. Large works
were erected in the chateau and they
manufacture numerous articles, from
immense plates for facing houses, to
every variety of cooking utensils.
The plates tor houses are spiked or
bolted to the masonry like iron, and
are practically indestructible. Cook
ing utensils resist the action of heat
as we'll as any earthernware or me-
tai, and watch crystal thrown upon
a pavement will not break. They
have taken out patent on the in
yention, are receiving large orders
from France, Europe and America,
and have now constructed on the
river Suran building 4S9 feet front
costing 625, 900 francs especially for
the manufacture of malleable glass
ware, and fitted up with every requi-
site for the business. Just think OF
this in the great items OF lamp
chimneys and window glass, of the
house wife watching the progress OF
her dinner cooking in crystal vessels,
of houses faced with indestructible
material susceptible of finer polish
than marble, of the finest and most
enduring colors and the Frightening
up of which will only require
spray of water, beside the other
thousand practical uses to which 1t
can be applied. Having seen no
previous mention of this article
which is destined to figure so prom
inently in the arts and manufactures
we have given it this extended men
ton, and hope at an early day to see
it entered on the list of Montana
importations.

BEWARE OF ALMOND RoCK.-Ma-
nv and many are the shoals and
ouicksands which beset the ocean of
life; many and dangerous the hid
den rocks lying in wait for the
badly-steered or tempest-tossed ves-
sci. There are the rocks of our
childhood, of our youth, our man
hood, and our old age, and lucky is
he who runs his course with a fair
wind and never scrapes his keel.
Lucky, for the most deadly of all
dangers awaits him at the very out
set of his voyage.
The rock of his childhood is fair
and tempting structure which lures
him to his fate with a power rarely
to be resisted.
The rock of his childhood-the
celebrated almond rock has ust
been declared to be a deadly poison,
a villainous compound of prussH
acid. Ina case recently, before a
London magistrate, the awful tact
was proved, and from the stern lips
of the presiding functionary there
went forth warning to children-a
warning they will do we'll to heed:.
"Beware of almond rock"
Well may some nursery SWIM
burne exclaim, while sobbing IN MS
pinafore-
Thy mouth is made of death and heat
Thy sweet lips poison whom they KISS
Down, false deceiving deadly sweet
That may crush beneath my feet
Thy fatal bliss.
