A Mighty Project.

Several ladies': They were talking
earnestly and loudly, and apparently
great interests were at stake.

A MischievOus Monkey.

We allude to the particular monkey
domiciled at the Allegheny City Home.
The kind-hearted superintendent, Mr..
Grubbs, places no restraint on the mon-
key, but generally allows her the free
dom of the house. Recently it seems
she presumed on the familiarity existing
between herself and officers and inmates,
by whiting certain apartments, the doors
OF which were locked against her. Her
surreptitious visits were made by clamb-
ering up the door and crawling through
the transOm. In one OF the rooms thus
invaded the monkeys experience was
anything but delightful. 1t was the
medical department, and once inside she
helped herself. She first placed her
nose to a bottle containing ammonia;
then she drank little of the drug, when,
with sharp, shrill yell she dropped the
bottle on the floor, bounded over the
door and into the corridor, where sue in
augurated aterrible "chatter, " intermin-
gled with violent sneezing and parox-
ysm terrible to behold. She was furious
with rage and her mode of relating her
experience was ludicrous and afforded
witnesses a deal OF amusement. Finally
she adjourned to the basement and kid
mapped IL kitten, causing CONSERVATION
to the mother cat in that department,
who seated around at lively rate.
The monkey at once retreated, and when
found in one Of the upper apartments,
was consoling herself by nursing the kit
ten. A fierce struggle occurred between
the superintendent and monkey before
she would release her grip on the kid.
mapped feline; and then she became
melancholy again. Now, as she passes
the medicine room, with the door wide
open. she hangs her head at half mast,
and apparently says: 81 want no more

As the scholar eees in the vain but beautiful
mythologies of the ancients the embodied ex-
pressions Of the hungry human soul, blindly
cropping after the Infinite. so the physician sees
in that popular myth ofthe sixteenth century
the fountain of perpetual health and youth
an expression of the longngs of suffering hui
mainly for remedy that should forever pre-
vent the incursion of disease. The wilds of
Europe were ransacked for this wonderful
fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for it in
the cypress swamps and tangled everglades of
our sunny Florida. Men have searched for it
everywhere and anywhere but where it really is
in the human body itself. The blood is the
real fountain OF perpetual health and youth.
When this source is corrupted, the painful and
sorrow reproducing effects are visible in many
shapes. The multifarlous effects in which it
manifests itself would form subjects upon
which I might write volumes. But as all the
varied forms of disease which depend upon
bad blood are cured. or bet treated by such
medicines as take up from this fluid and ex-
crete from The system the noxious elements,
it is not of practical Importance that should
describe EACH For instance, medical authors
describe about fifty varieties of skin disease,
bnt as they all require for their cure very M
liar treatment it is Of no practical utility to
know Just what name to apply to certain
form of skin disease, SO you know how best to
cure it. Then again, might go on and de.
cores, white swellings, enlarged glands, and
ulcers of varying appearance might describe
how virulent poison may show Itself in various
forms of erruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony
tumors etc. but az all these various appear
ing manifestations of bad blood are cured by e
uniform means 1 deem such q course unnec-
essary. Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which
is the great fountain of lifa, and good digos-
ton, fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength
and soundness of constitution, will all return
to us. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's Golden
