There are now IN the Alexandria pal
ace, London, six live specimens OF a
monkey new TO science, the HHcdcus
qelaida, a native Of the mountains of
Abvssinia, where it lives at an elevation
OF from 1000 to $500 feet above the sea
level One of these monkeys is an adult
male 1t is hairy over the whole of the
body, with the exception of pink patch
free from hair on the chest, and a space
around the throat OF the same color.
When the animal becomes angry or eX-
cited, these pink patches become bright
red. The nOstrlls are high up from the
upper Jaw, and the upper lip is so mobile
that IL is often turned up 50 as to show
the whole Of the upper teeth and gums.
Ire tail is long and thick, and ends in a
tuft resembling somewhat q lions tail.
The color Of the hair Is brown, except
arOud the breast, where it is gray. The
The bare part of the chest shows two
male indications of teats. The female
has not such long hair as the male and
on the bare spot in front are two well
teats. The young monkey
takes one in each hand, and sucks from
both at once. While these animals have
rejected ali fruits, they have eaten Indian
corn and grass, taking the grass, pulling
it apart, and making it into little
balls In their native habitat, these
monkeys sleep in caves, and in London
they sleep in q large box, the old male
remaining on guard near the entrance.

to tie yelk, causing the mass to rot
Therefore the true plan is to keep the
yelk in its central position. By doing
this, the egg can be preserved for long
time. My plan for accomplishing this is
to take the keg or barrel, and pack the
eggs on their sides, and to end, laying
tier first around next to the slaves. so
continuing until layer is made, and so
on till the barrel is full. Use oats for
packing; jar them down as much as is
required to keep them firmly in their
places, and head up the barrel ready for
market. By rolling the barrel about a
quarter around every few days, the yells
of the eggs will be kept as required

An Ohio politician g on the stumr

An Ohio politician =" on the stump
stayed the torrent of his eIoquence for a
moment, and looking round with self
satisfied air, put the question: Now,
gentlemen, what do you think?n A
voice from the crowd replied: "Wel1,
Mr.. Speaker, if yOu ask me, l think, sir
do indeed, that if you and me were to
stump the state together, we could tell
more lies than any other two men in the
county, sir; and I'd not say word, my
self, sir, all the time"

Munke quotes from the Talmud" a
passage in which mention is made of iron
as a means of " protection from lightning
and thunder :" and Wiedermann adds
the ancient Egyptians appear to have
used gilded masts for warding off the
bad weather coming from hea ven"
The mean distance of the sun, as de-
duced bythe British astronomer royal,
Sir George Airy, from comparison of
the results obtained by the English tele-
scopic observations of the transit
of Venus, in 1874, is equal to
81, 100000 miles. But, as the photo
graphs of the transit are yet to be worked
up, this estimate must be regarded as
provisional only.
There will be two solar eclipses this
year, one on the first of February, the
other on the 29th of July. The former
will be central and annular as observed

America. 1t will be best observed at
Denver, Colorado.
A solution of bicarbonate of sodium
applied to burns promptly and perma>

assistant in Philadelphia having burned
the inside of the last phalanx of the
thumb while bending glass tubing, APP
piled the solution of bicarbonate of soda,
and not only was the pain allayed but the
thumb could be at once freely used with
out inconvenience.
On board the British iron-clad ship
Temeraire, besides the great engines for
propulsion, there are no less than thirty
four small engines for the following pur-
poses: two turning, two starting, four
feed, two circulating, two fan, two bilge,
one capstan, one steering, four pumping,
four ash-lifters, two hydraulic gesr-work-
ers, one torpedo reservoir-charger, one to
work the electric machine which lights
the bridge, and four others.
Numerous facts are cited by the Aus

increase in Australia, that the climate is
growing moister, and that even the great
central desert may, in course of time,
become inhabitable. The frequency of
fire, prior to the introduction of sheep
farming, when there was nothing to keep
down the grass, was terribly destructive
to trees and to all vegetation. Now
these ravages are becoming limited in
extent.

what the RiIlous Require.

Since torpidity of the liver is the chief
cause of its disorder, 1t is evident that what
the bilious require is an Alternative stimulant
which will arouse it TO activity. an effect that
is followed by the disappearance of the vari-
GUS symptoms indicative of its arrangements.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters invariably
achieve the primary result mentioned, be-
sides removing the constipation, fatulence,
heartburn, yellowness Of the skin and whites
of the eyes, pain in the right side and under
the right shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick
headache, to which bilious invalids are pecu-
liarlv subject. As a remedy for chronic
Indigestion, mental dependency, and nerv'
BUSINESS, the Bitters are equally eticsc1ous,
and as q renovant of lost vigo-, means OF
arresting premature decay, and source, 0,
relief from the infirmities to which the geni
tier sex is peculiarly subject, they may be
thoroughly relied upon.

Joseph Cooks Ideas on Eternal Pun
iShmenf.

| am not fully ready TO speak upon
this subject, as / am not well enough up
in what has been said on the other side
of the water only a few weeks since. We
knew what Canon Farrar said. When
through with my Boston lectures in
April | shall probsbly write something
on that subject more definite; ] do not
expect nv views will change any, but
they may be expressed differently on
account Of what people abroad have said.
In my lecture on the permanence OF
the moral character, | expressed my
present views. / believe that in the
domain of moral laws there Is a point
beyond which it Is too late TO mend. In
the physical law of gravitstion ship
may career from side to side, and thus
train sailors to become skilIful and bold;
but at length it goes too far and Capsizes
and sinks. And hundreds Of centuries
will not remedy it. In organic law the
same is true. a tree may be cut and
may heal even stronger than before, but
if gashed beyond the heart, it dies; and
no one viii expect that centuries of
suffering viii bring it back to life.
These two sets Of natural laws point
in the same direction, and teach that
there is such a thing as being too late to
mend. From analogy, then, we must
conclude that, under the third set, or
natural moral law, the same thing holds
true The condition of things Is such
that an unwillingness TO accept goodness
may ripen into eterDal voluntary oppo-
siti0n 20 it. Under the irreversible
natural law, there may exist in the uni
verse eternal sin. / would not teach the
truth of future punishment by saying
that man is punished forever and forever,
for the sins of that hands breadth G.
duration we call time. If the soul does
not repent with contrition, the nature of
things forbids its peace. Biblical and
natural truth teaches thst a prolonged
dissimilarity of feeling with God may
end in eternal sin. ii there is eternal
sin there will be an eternal punishment.
Omniscience cannot make the man happy
who hates what God loves, and loves

How to Discourage a Minister,

Eleven ways are sugg ested by the AID
vance, by which minister may be bro
ken down in spirit and ruined in indu
anos. We oond0ase tho advice. hoping
it may provoke some to repentance
/. Go to church only occasionly, and
when you go. 90 late, take no part ii
singing, nor in following the Scrip
ture reading, but keep up whisper
ing.
2. Find all the fault you can. Poin
out his deficiencies before your children
and others.
3. Don't aid his work, but despiso his
lack of good sense.
A. Tell tales to him about the people
and their criticisms about him.
5. Tell him how much his predecessors
were thought of.
6. Keep away from all weekday meet
ings.
7. Get up gayeties, particularly some
entertainment near the communion sea
son.
s. Require him to be present every
where.
8. If he breaches at home, insist OF
exchanges and il abroad, complain tina
he is never ct homo.
10 Keep back his salery.
ii Keep talking about general dis
satisfaction"
Patient continuance in these practice
will suddenly drive away both the Spiri
of God and the minister of God.
