being hot, he is very cautious as to the
manner in which he takes it, testing it
carefully before he trusts himself to
hold it. He has very curious method
of holding the bottle taking the neck
in his left hand, and supporting the bot
tom of the bottle with the palm of his
right hand, the thumb always pointing
to the floor.
Towards dark he always retires to
his bedroom, which is smaller cage
that can he closed from without by
means of sliding door, worked by a
rope. He has red blanket in which
he can wrap himself, and before he
goes in for the night he goes through
quite performance with the blanket.
First he spreads it widely open and lays
it on the floor; then he walks into the
middle of it, gathers up the corners,
pulls them over his head, and lies down.
Even after the curtains that surrounded
the cage are let down he retains his
spirit of curiosity, and when he hears a
step near the cage he lifts a corner of
the curtain and peeps through, giving
grunt of recognition if the person
should happen to be an acquaintance.
Every action is performed with DELHI
Grafton, and many persons who have
watched the animal are disturbed in
their mind, thinking that it bears too
close a resemblance to humanity to be
pleasant.-GOlden Hours for November.

The Sober People of the Cape.
ONE OF GEN. BUFFERS OLD EXPERIEN-
CES WITH THEM.


ONE OF GEN. BUTLER'S OLD EXPERT EN-
CEs WITH THEM.
Correspondent of the New York SUM-
Gen. Butler told me good story as
illustrating the sober minded people of
the Cape. 1t was many years ago, he
said, the first time he made a political
speech on Cape Cod. He thought he
knew how to wake up an audience; at
least, he had been moderately success
full in eiciting responses to the points
of his argument. He began his speech
and was a little surprised that there
was no applause when he thought it
ought to come in. He tried again, and
wound up one branch of his subject as
impressively and eloquently as he
could, but no cheers came. He felt
that he was put upon his mettle. He
tried them with anecdotes, campaign
stories that had always been greeted
with rOars of laughter in other parts of
the state, but he failed to detect u
smile on single face. He came to the
conclusion that they had no sense of the
humorous, and tried pathos with no
better success. 1t was very dispiriting,
but he went through with his speech.
AS he closed, the president of the meet
ing rose solemnly and stepped to the
edge OF the platform, and said: "There
is now chance to applaud the very
eloquent and entertaining speaker who
has addressed us, without breaking the

~ The latest Cambridge society
sensation is caused by the indefinite
postpOnement of the wedding of Burt,
Il son of eX-Mayor Stevens, and Lizzie
Kelsey, the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of well known furniture
dealer, on the evening before it was to
have taken place. Many guests had
been invited and some were on hand,
extensive preparations for an elegant
event were made and a house i'm fash
ionahle neighhorhood had been fitted
up for the couple in costly manner.
Once before, the engagement of the pair
was broken, and the disappointment
and modification made Miss Kelsey
very i'll. The affair was patched up,
however, but now everything is ut sea
again. Young Stevens seems to have
deceived his prospective father-in law
with regard to his money matters. He
induced the old man to fit up IL house
in style far beyond his means, as he
was working for moderate salary, and
then tried to postpone paying the bill
till after the marriage. Mr.. Kelsey's
objection to being made game of in
such a way, caused disruption, and
the bells will probably never ring for
that wedding.

THE SECRET OF THE New ELECTRIC
LIGHT.-The Scientific American gives
its attention this week to Mr.. EdisOn's
discovery in electric lighting, and pre-
sents to the public some idea of its
precise nature. 'It is based" it says,
''on the well-knOwn fact that wire
may be heated by an electric current,
the basis of many attempts to accom-
plish what Mr.. Edison claims to have
done. The reader may have seen the
gas jet of the dome of the Capitol at
Washington, lighted by similar means.
Over each burner is placed IA coil of
platinum wire, which, when heated by
the electric current, ignites the gas.
Mr.. Edison uses the coil itself as the
source of light, the current sent through
it being strong enough to make the coil
white hot or self luminous. The diff
Guilty TO be overcome at this point was
the liability of the wire to fuse and
spoil the light; difficulty which Mr..
Edison claims to have Obviated by the
Introduction of a simple device which,
by the expansion of small bar the
instant the heat of the coil approaches
the fusing point of platinum, interposes
Il check to the flow of the current
through the coil. This automatic ar
rangement, in connection with an aux
iliary resistance coil, secures, it is said,
an even flow of electricity through the
coil, and consequently a steady glow of
pure light. If this is done economically
it is obvious that marked advantage
has been made in artificial ilumina
ton" The Scientific American, how
aver does nOt think tho mission of
burning gas is ended, even with the
successful introduction of the electric
light. On the contrary, by recent i'm
prOvements in manufacture, its use
promises to be enormously increased in
future as fuel for common domestic
purposes.

thread of his DISCOURSE" Then came
three times three, given with hearty
will and all together. The president then
explained, Butler said, that after due
consideration, the selectmen of the
town concluded that applause and
laughter during a speech only inter
rupted the speaker, broke the thread of
his discourse, and disturbed the rehec-
ton of the listener, and they had voted
that hereafter there should be no APP
plause or laughter until after the speak
er concluded.
There is still soberness about these
people that can testify to, but the Sc
lectmen do not regulate the applause.
1t is evident, however, that political
meetings are still serious business
with them. They invariably say lee
ture instead of speech. Everywhere on
the Cape l heard men and women speak

The Tramp Nuisance.

The agricultural editor of the State
Register makes the following caustic
observations:
by intelligence from various quar-
tiers, it is evident the tramps are about
to Overrun the rural districts again.
The cities, armed with an efficient po-
lice, have a comparative immunity from
their depredations. But the country is
exposed to their assaults and insults I'M
protected. Alarm is increasing. Cool
and determined men are preparing to
meet the emergency with desperate
means if necessary. Farmers must
stay at home and protect their families
interests. Females must not be left
alone and unprotected. Property, and
especially anything they can appropri-
ate, must be watched. There is but lit
tie danger of their burning or destroy
ing self-binding reapers in the fields, as
reported. The mass of them care moth
ing for labor, as they will not work ev-
en- at the best prices. They make no
special war, on labor-saving machinery.
All they want is victuals and clothes,
which they propose to beg or steal.
Most of them 60 armed to brighten the
feeble or unprotected.
Band together, friends, and make the
necessary regulations to defend your
families and your property, and to re-
dress your wrongs. Do nothing to car
ry their cases to court. Instead of try
ing their cases summarily in ten min
utes, it will drag through days and prob
ably weeks, and then you will be taxed
to pay costs and attorneys fees on both
sides. They may as well steal the prop.
erty as to have it all taken in taxes to
pay costs.
