An Alarming Swell

An innocent, hard working man yes
terday lost situation which he had
held for IA year, and which he believed
secure for at least another year to cone
and if this meets the eye of his late EN-
ployer, perhaps the man will be taken
back. A citizen of Beech street bought
cord of four-foot wood, and the same
was delivered early in the morning.
AS soon as the team had gone the clti-
zen borrowed quarter of cord of the
same sort of wood of neighbor and
added it to his pile and then rode down
to the wharf and said
Mr.. Blank. SEQ you have delivered
my wood
"Ies, sir-yes, .sir--we always de-
liver at the earliest moment" was the
reply;
How much did you send 2"
"a cord, sir --afull cord. We never
cheat on measure.
But am not satisfied with it."
Cant help that, sir; l sent q cord.
l saw it loaded myself"
I've measured it and"
Can't help your measure. There S
cord of wood there
was gong u Say
Cant help what you were going to
say. I've been in the wood business
too long to make any mistake
was going to say there is over a
cord,"
"Over a cord? All! that's differ
ent thing. That needs looking into.
Get into my buggy and we'll drive up
and measure it. l am glad to find one
honest man in Detroit"
The pile overran quarter of cord,
much to the dealers amazement. When
certain of the fact he could only scratch
his head and say:
"Never heard of the like before
never, and I've been in the business a
long time"
Within five minutes of his return to
the Office one of the drivers had his
balance of wages and was walking off
with the remark:

The One CLEAN of Hope.

Colonel Valentine Baker, now dig.
niied as Baker Pacha, has been max
ing nine months tour Of investlga-
ton through Asia Minor, to learn what
condition of things has obtained there
under that protectorate which was
paraded as one of the chief conces.
sions made by the Porte to Lords Bea-
consiield and Salisbury in their ia.
nous "peace with honor" Berlin
treaty. The report now presented from
actual observation is anything but
pleasant.
Baker Pacha concludes that if the
people OF Asia Minor were not the
most sober, patient and long. suffering
in the world, the Sultan's misrule
would long ago have been renounced.
He found the courts UNANIMOUSLY cor
rupt, not one competent or honest gov.
ernor anywhere; and the thievish kurds
plu1dered before his very eyes the
grain. boats destined for the famine
stricken people. Deep despair every
where, with just one CLEAN of light
and hope. And is that owing to the
so-called English protectorate? No.,
but-to the lasting glory OF their cause
and themselves be it said-to the noble
and disinterested activity of American
missionaries, chiefly in the districts of
the Armenians, peculiarly interesting
and religious people. Baker Pacha at
once recognized the philanthropic
work of these missionaries, few in
numbers and with so inadequate means
to carry out their purposes, and in his
report has given them merited honor,
though that honor is still further re-
kection upon his own countrymen and
the Beacousfield policy. For the mis-.
sionary schools and the effects of the
Protestant work upon the people he has
only admiration, and eloquently ex-
presses it.
The report is one which ought to re-
ceivo wide attention and incite gener-
GUS action on the part of the English
Parliament. To profess to protect the
oppressed populations of Asia Minor,
while in fact allowing them to be
robbed, murdered and starved without
possible opportunity for self-protection
or preservation, is an incredible dis
grace for u Christian nation in this
nineteenth century to willingly bear or
unwillingly permit. And the condition
of Asia Minor under Turks. tyranny
is another powerful reason why the
Turk should cease to rule, not only in
Europe, but anywhere.-N. \. EGam'

Some Useful Monkeys.

At recent meeting of the Asiatic
Society of Bengal, Mr.. l.. Schwendler
gave an instance of Langur monkey
(Semnopit'ecuS entelius) having been
taught to do useful work. Mr..
Schwendler's Trustworthy informant
was Babu b. Pyne, a member of the
Government Telegraph Department.
The Babu says: :" Some years ago l
had Langur, which, when standing
erect, measured fully two feet six
inches. The animal was very power
full, and could easily pull punk h
measuring eight feet in length. 1t was
male, and even when young showed
disposition to be highly savage. The
older it got the more savage it became.
Seeing the great power this monkey
had, l wanted to utilize it, and, there
fore intended to employ it for the pur-
pose of pulling punkhas. The teach
ing effected in the following manner:
The monkey was tied by the waist close
to strong pile, so that it could not
move either backwards or forwards, or
right or left. Both hands were tied to
rope attached to "a punkha, which was
regularly pulled from the ether side by
u uldus uuo TIC aUluuuL Iuu W OH al
one place, and could only move its
hands up and down with the punkha
rope. In this way the monkey in a
comparatively short time learned to
pull the punkha by ITSELF and was so
employed by me for several years. 1t
always kept in first rate health, en-
joyed its work immensely, and did it
equally we'll, if not better, than u
cooley. During the rains it suffered
from fever, and ultimately died. Put,
ting now this trained monkey in the
place where the man used 10 pull the
punkha, and q new LangUr in the
place where the trained monkey form.
erly sat. attempted to teach success
sively four more monkeys, two of which
were females. L succeeded perfectly
in teaching the males, but was quite un-
successful with the females"
MIR. Schwendler said there is a Ger
tain amount of intelligence required to
do this work, since the arms, in their
up and down movements, have to keep
time with tie swinging punkha. Mr..
Schwendlcr mentioned some other in
stances in which the display of intelli-
gence by monkeys had been noticed.
In particular he mentioned case in
which monkey, which had sustained
a fall from trusting to rotten branch,
while swinging on tree, had been OBJ
served afterward to examine the
branches of the tree. and to break off
those which it found to be rotten.
Some discussion ensued as to whether
the action of the monkey, in this case,
was the result of intelligence, aud some
of the members present were of opinion
that it might have been the result:
simply of anger, caused by the fall.
Mr.. Scnwendler, however, stated that
he had for long made the habits of an
imals study, and that he was con
WINGED of the fact that monkeys were
possessed OF much intelligence; and he
vouched for the authenticity of the
statemente made in the paper read re.
gardipg the monkeys which were taught
to pull punkha. Nature.

The Mother Rules the World.

1t is hard for young mother, who
has not yet overcome the hayward ten.
denotes of her own youthful nature, to
realize the influence she exerts over
her own little ones. She is constantly
surrounded by critical imltators, who
copy her morals and manners. AS the
mother is, so are her sons and daugh-
tiers. If q family of children are
blessed with an intelligent mother, who
is delicate and refined in her manners,
and does not consider it necessary to
be woman in the drawing-room and
an entirely different woman in every
day life; but who is true mother, an d
always tender, charming woman, you
will invariably see her habits of speech
and perfect manners repeated in her
children. Great rough men and noisy,
busy boys will always tone down their
voices and step lightly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to give
them kind word or pleasant smile
Tor true mother will never fail to say
and do all the pleasant things she can
that will in any way help or lift up and
cheer those VIII ose lives are shaded
with care and toll. The mother of to-
day rules the world CT tomorrow.

GLACIERS IN THE ANDEs.-Nmong
the most interesting of the discoveries
made by Edward Whymper in the re-
cent clamberings among the high peaks
of the Andes, near the equator, is that
of the existence of glaciers in these
mountains, rivaling the famous glaciers
of the Alps. He says the upper portion
of Chimborazo and Antisana, for I 900
feet downward from their SUBMITS, are
almost enveloped by glaciers. This is
the more remarkable inasmuch as An
tisana, according to Humboldt's obser-
vations, is, or has been, volcano. In
fact, that whole region abounds with
volcanoes, aud when Mr.. Whymper
made his last ascent of Chimborazo the
great peak was enveloped in a cloud of
falling ashes thrown ont by it's fiery
neighbor, Cotopaxi. One observation
of Humboldt's is very interesting. He
was struck with the difference in the
voices of these volcanoes, whose roar
ing can be heard two or three hundred
miles away. The voice of the volcano
of Sangay, he says, was harsh, and very
characteristic. 1t was likened to the
sound of snoring. Pichincha made a
rafting and clanking noise that was
very disagreeable. especially when
heard at night ia Quito.

SHELLAc.-Shellac is the product of
an insect in India, which deposits it on
the twigs of trees to protect its eggs,
and, later, to feed the larvae. From the
deposit. known as lac seed) shellac and

tured. The officers OF the forest de
partment of India have recently dis
covered that by applying the lac-seed
to different trees, or that by transplant
ing the trees acknowledgement, the in
sect can be farmed, and the supply
thereby increased indefinitely in given
locality. The lac-industry is thus: be-
ing spread in India. A few years
since, 81 10000 worth of the lac was
annually exported. The amount sent
abroad now amounts to 50 30 900.

were unsuited to each other, and that a
separation was desirable, but how to
obtain divorce was puzzling, because
neither had a grievance that would
stand the test Of the law. Their con-

give the wife ground for complaint by
whipping her; so he amiably knocked
her down, and she got the divorce.

The Texss Live Sock Journal says OF the
fall market: From present indications We
believe the fall market will he the beat OF
the season, and Tor this reason would advise
our friends, as we have done sgain and
again, to hold their steers that are not lat
until the fat market. By doirg this, they
will gain in flesh aud weights and Gomez
ouently bring more money and SIS the range
in some parts of Colorado, Nebraska and
Wyoming is an entire failure this year, there
will be but few, if any cattle shipped from
these localities, which will have teneercy
TO make the market for Texans the better.
and the general receipts lighter, besides
there is an abundance Of corn in all the
States, which will create great demand for
Texas cattle for feeders this fall.
Taking this view of the matter. we would
again urge Texas cattle men not to hazard
their interests by running habitat stuff on
hard market, but to keep them until fall and
let them get the "big fat' on, and realize
from them the good round price that they
are entitled to, and sure to get, il the own
