The Cruelty Of Monkeys.

An amateur naturalist, writing of the
fondness of cruelty for its own sake OBJ
servable in the human species, says :
To refer to the striking similarity of
this passion in man to that which is man
ifested by monkeys, is not, of course. to
explain its origin but I am quite sure
that it is in the MONKEYS that this ex-
PLANTATION is to be sought. Every one
knows that thes animals show the keen
est delight in wantonly torturing others,
but every one does not know how
much trouble an average monkey will
put himself to in order that he may
crafty this taste. One example will
suffice. A friend who has lived long
time in India tells me that he has not
unfrequently seen monkeys feigning
death, for an hour or two at time, for
the express purpose of inducing crows
and other carniverous birds to approach
within grasping distance; and when
one of the latter was caught, the de-
lighted monkey would put it to all kinds
of agonies, of which plucking alive
seemed to be the favorite. AS am not
aware that any other animal exhibits
this instinct of infiicting pain for it's
own sake Ohe case of a cat with a
mouse, belonging, think, to ano her
category, l believe, if its origin is ever
to receive a scientific explanation, it will
be found in some way come cted with
monkey life"

There is probably no one who could
not tell you volumes of experiences and
sufferings from the persistency of bores,
although every ones idea of them
varies. The man who replied, when
aske what bore was, GA fellow who
talks about himself when you want to
talk about yourself" made the most
comprehensive classification of the kind
yet imagined, aud they all, with slight
variations, come under this heading,
for if they do not talk about themselves
it is about some hobby of their own
that they hold forth. There is the

The Senator'S.

The "points" of some of the United
States senators are pithily summarized
by Washington correspondent. Conk-
ling is the senatorial Adonie. When he
was in the house the young ladies used
to SIT in the galleries and wish they had
lock of the dear little curl that adorns
his brow, and, as it is thinner now than
it used to be, it is probably even dearer.
Il is rather singular that the three
bachelors of the senate should be the
favorite presiding oficers-Wiison, &C.
oticio J; Anthony, pro tenn, and Ferry,
of Michigan, in default of either. An
thony is the handsomest still, it is not
always beauty that wins. Gordon, the
confederate general, is a finelooking,
soldierly fellow. Bayard. of Delaware,
is the third generation of senators in his
family. Frelinghuysen is something of
swell. Edmunds. his neighbor, is the
most quarrelsome of senators. Thurman
looks and moves like Beecher. Dorsey
isonly thirty three years old, the ''baby"
of the senate. Cameron is the Oldest
senator. Dorsey, Allison and Oglesby
have young and pretty wives. Stewart
and Jones are two poor, impecunious
miners, with only few millions apiece
Jones especially, whose income per
month is $25O,OOO. Upton is funny
little fellow, Schurz an admirable spel TX
er, but Fenton has the most courtly
manners in the senate. Hamlin, Of
Maine, always wears a dress coat, never
an overcoat. Flanagan, of Fianagan's
Mills, Texas, is jolly old fellow, who
says whar" and "thar," and rouses
the echoes generally when he speake.
Robertson wears jewelry of fabulous
value-emerald buttons worth a
fortune and diamond studs that would
make the idols of India jealous.

Elaborate Entertainment.

Few things not absolutely essential to
happiness add more to the enjoyment Of
life than social interchange of evening
visits among friends and neighbors.
Indeed, We are not quite sure that it is
not essential to happiness as it is, for
we can live to good purpose and pleasure
without many of our luxuries, without
fine clothes, costly pictures, splendid
| Jewels, but we cannot live to any use at
all without friends and the upbubbling
of friendly emotions and the fruition of
ideas that they arouse. Our natures
would grow dry as husks if our feelings
were kindled only for our own immedi-
ate home circle, and the very apotheo-
sis of selfishness would take place with
US isolated from outside interests and
love of our kind. Nor would our intel
lects fare much better than our emo
tional natures; for if genius itself is an
intermittent fountain, as Goethe said,
the source of ordinary thought and
fancy must be quite as capricious, and
our buckets must need all the replen-
ishing from the wells of our neighbors
that can be had. If it were not for the
perpetual weaving among us Of the
warp and wool of each others ideas,
The varying views of things when sc en-
from each others standpoint, we might

the desert or on the tops of pillars in

When People Think of Suicide.

The influence of age upon suicide is
study of more than speculative inter.
est on account of it's practical bearings,
and of the ease aud precision with
which it can be demonstrated. By age
is meant the critical periods of life.
These periods having many components
besides the mere fact of years, 1t is ap-
parent that what we have to examine is
a many-sided phenomenon, including
together with it the advance in life, the
workings of physiological, mental, and
sociological causes. It has been lately
examined by DR.. O'Dea, and it appears
that the maximum of suicides of both
sexes occurs between the ages of 25 and
IS. Previously to the 255h year there
is sudden increase from 2 suicides be-
tween the ages of 5 and 10 to 1876 be-
tween 20 and rs. After 55 the ten
dency to suicides declines, but more
gradually than it rose, except to 65,
where the number increases from 81 to
little worth considering.
There are, therefore, three suicidal
periods in life those of organic and
mental growth, of organic and mental
completion, and of organic and mental
decline. In the first the chart shows 80;
in the second, 942, and in the third, 311.
Comparing the periods in round num-
bers, it may be said that they are as l
for childhood and adol, scence to IL for
adult life, and to 4 for the years of
bodily and mental decay.
The Influence of sex and its attendant
circumstances upon suicides at the diff
ferent periods of life is shown upon the
charts. With females, as among males,
there is sudden and abrupt rise until
the 25th year is reached. This rise is
continued to the 35th year, at which
the maximum of suicides occur among
women. The period from the 25th to
the 18Th year corresponds to that of the
greatest pressure from domestic
troubles and responsibilities, and also
with the greatest activity of the mater
nal functions. The line thence de-
sends abruptly to the 18th year,
whence it rises to the Goth, the critical

Regular Eating.

Half of all ordinary diseases would
be banished from civilized life and dys
pepsia become almost unknown if every
body would eat but thrice day at reg
uiar times and not an atom between
meals, the interval not being less fhar
five hours, that being the time required
to digest full meal and pass it out oil
the stomach.
| If person eats between meals the
process of digestion is arrested until
| the last which has been eaten is brought
into the condition of the former meal,
just as il water is boiling and ice put in
the whole ceases to boil until the ice il
melted and brought to the boiling point
and then the whole boils together.
But it is the law of nature that all
food begins to decay, to rot, after e1-
posture to heat and moisture for a GER
tain time. If a meal is eaten and in
two hours another, the whole remains
undigested for several hours, before
which time the rottening process COM
mences and the man has his stomach
full of carrion-the very idea of which
is horribly disgusting but that such is
the case the uncomfortable cdor of the
belching demonstrates.
As, then, all the food in the stomach
is in a rotten condition, in a state of
fermentive decay, it becomes unfit for
the purposes of nutrition and making
pure blood in the whole body; hence
the nerves, which feed on this impure
and imperfect blood, are not properly
nourished, and, as consequence, be-
come diseased. "They complain they
are hungry-and like a hungry man
they are peevish, fretful, restless. We
call it nervousness, and no one ever
knew a dyspeptic who was not restless,
fidgety. fretful, and essentially dis
agreeable and uncertain.
The stomach is made up of number
of muscles, all of which are brought
into requisition in the process of diges-
ton. But no muscle can work always.
The busy heart is in state of perfect
repose one-third of its time. The eye
can wink twice in a second, but this
could not be continued five minutes.
The hands and feet must have rest, and
So with the muscles of the stomach
they can only rest when there is nc
work for them to do-no food in the
stomach to digest. Even at five hours
interval, and eating thrice day. they
are kept constantly at work from break.
fast until the last meal is disposed of,
usually ten o'clock at night. But null
titudes eat heartily till within an hour
of bed time thus, while the other por-
tions of the body are at rest, the
stomach is kept laboring until almost
daylight, and made to begin again at
breakfast-time. No wonder is it that
the stomach is worn out-has lost its
power of action. Many girls become
dyspeptic before they are out of their
teens in consequence of their being
about the house and nibbling at every
thing they lay their eyes on that is good
to eat.-H0lTs Journal.

period of mature female life, and then
goes down, down, until it reaches the
level from which it started.
There are, therefore, two eliminating
points, and while the line on the male
chart is undulating and sustained, that
on the female chart is vertical and alb
rupt. The lower of the male culmi-
mating points is the higher of the fe-
male, and contrariwise, the lower of the
female is the higher CT the male.
These charts do not show the relative
frequency of suicides among the two
sexes. The ratio of suicides to popu-
lation in the United States is (for the
period covered by the last decenniai
census) 25 to 100, 900 among males, and
3 to 100000 among females. The only
periods at which suicides are nearly
equal for both sexes is from Is to 20
years, during which the number of boy
suicides was "a, of girl suicides 80.
After this the number of suicides
among males is much greater than
among females.

Cause. of the Rise in Gold.

The causes of the movement are not
difficult to define. Ever since the
panic, the rate of interest has been SO
low and the caution among investors 60
decided that an unusual preference has
been given to government securities
both by private individuals and finan-
cial institutions. Prices of bonds have
thus been kept above the European
quotations, which have been depressed
by the unsettled condition of the Lon
don and continental money markets,
and United States securities have, from
this cause, been steadily fowl home
for several months past. The amounts
of bonds thus returned must have been
very large. The reaux is by no means
at its height just now, and yet. last week,
one lot of new fves of 800, 900 was re-
ceived, and the week previous one par
Gel of $500. 600 of the same class of
bonds arrived. Besides this class of
securities, some considerable amounts
of railroad bonds have been returned
from Germany. This refux of invest
ments has kept exchange high at the
time when rates are usually the lowest,
and We have had to send out possibly
$25, 00O, 600 more of gold than we other
wise should, to pay for securities which
we had regarded as having found per-
manent resting place in other countries.
Such movement would hardly have
been deemed possible in anticipation !;
and its occurrence opens our eyes to a
new source of uncertainty in the ex-
changes. At present, we see no symp-
toms of its early cessation. The enor-
nous issues of obligations made by
France have caused a continuous shift
ing of securities ever since. The Eu-
ropean investment markets have been
and still are unsettled, and possibly also
are overcrowded with issues in the
hands of negotiatofs and seeking a final
resting place among investors. And
yet the coinage operations of Germany
and the singular accumulation of specie
in the bank of France are causing an
unsettled feeling in the great money
markets which is calculated to force Sc
ourities on the markets. Just now,
Paris is negotiating loan of $50, OOO,-
600, the making room for which is like
" to cause some other investments to
be parted with. So long, therefore, as
the market rate for money continues
here 1a2 per cent. above the quotations
in the European markets, it would seem
that we must stand exposed to this re-
turn of securities. The prospect is not
a welcome one; for it implies further
outflow of specie, with consequent fuc-
tuations in the gold premium and in
values generally, which are anything
but wholesome in their effects on bust
nees.-N. Y. Bulletin.
