An Apes Revenge.

Apes, when their anger is aroused,
e very dangerous creatures, as they
ill dare almost anything in order tC
fenge their wrongs. Many of their
eds of revenge are well known, but
g following anecdote, which comes
pm Italy, is as amusing as any we
I've yet heard of. IL Rosso, IA dis
pie of Angelo, resided in Florence in
house overlooking a garden belong
g to some friars. IL Rosso possessed
ape which was on friendly terms
tn one of his apprentices called
ettistoni, who employed the animal
steal the friars' grapes, letting it
wn into the adjacent garden and
awing it up again by rope. The
apes beng missed watch was set,
d one day friar caught the ape in
b very act. He tried to inhi a
rashing, but the ape got the best of
and escaped. II Rosso. however,
hs sued, and his pet sentenced to
Par weight on its tail. But few
US elapsed ere the culprit had an
portunity of avenging this insult.
lille the friar was performing mass
a neighborihg church, the ape
mbed 10 the part of the roof under
hich the altar stood, and to use
isari's words, performed so lively
dance with the weight on his tail
ht there was not tile or vase left
broken and on the friar's return a
trent CT lamentations was heard that

WISE WORDS.

All those who know their mind do
not know their heart.
The more nature is sad, the more
the hearthstone is dear.
We pass often from love to ambi-
ton, but we seldom return from am
bition to love.
In the adversely of our best friends
we often find something that is not dis
pleasing to us.
1t is possible for a man to tell the
truth without being sworn. He who
cannot is but liar at best.
The grande spectacle on earth is
the man who stands up like tower OF

The day laborer has that which IS

good appetite and refreshing sleep.
Absence diminishes the ordinary
passions and increases the great ones,
IS the wind extinguishes the candle
and lights the fire.
There are houses where people are
bright without mistrusting it; there
are Others where people are stupid in
spite of themselves.
If the enjoyments of others embitter
jealous minds, they strengthen the
humble spirit; they are the beams of
sunshine which open the two beautiful
fowers-trust and hope.
There are persons who have more
intelligence than taste, and others who
have more taste than intelligen &c.
There is more vanity and caprice in
taste than in intelligence.
Bad temper is oftener the result of
unhappy circumstances than of an I'M
happy organization; it frequently, how
over, has aphysical cause, and apeevish
child often needs dieting more than
correcting.
The best thing to give to your enemy

ance; to friend, your heart; to your
child, good example; to father, def
erence; to your mother, conduct that

In Catholic and Protestant countries,
the year 1900 will not be leap-year,
they all having adopted the Gregorian
calendar. In countries where the
Greek church is established RUSSIA
and Greece) the old Julian calendar
still holds, and those countries will
count it leap-year. After February,
1900, therefore, the difference between
the two calendars, which is now twelve
days, will become thirteen days, and
will remain so until 2100, the year
2OOO being a leap-year in both the
Julian and Gregorian calendars. The
rule for leap-year may be thus stated
according to the Gregorian calendar,
which differs from the Julian only in
special treatment of the century
year,: All years whose index-number
1883 is the index-number of the pres
ent year, is divisible by four are leap
years, unless (1) their index-number
is divisible by one hundred Century
years.. In that case they are not leap
years, unless (2) their index-number
is divisible by four hundred, in which
case they are leap-years. Thus, 17CO,
1900, 1860 and 2l00 are not leap-years,
while 1900, 1000 and 2400 are.

Something About Tennis.

Although the revival OF the ancient
game of tennis, which is now generally
known as lawn tennis, is of re- ent
growth, the sport is simplya molifica-
ton of the pastime familiar to the
English people in the time Of Shakes
peare. They, in turn, borrowed the
game from the French. There can be
little doubt that the sport arose out Of
hand-ball," or, as it was called by the
French, palm-play, so-called because
the exercise consisted in receiving the
ball and driving it back again with tile
palm of the hand. In former times
they played with the naked hand, then
with glove. Atterward it became
the fashion to bind cords and tendons
around the hands to make the ball re-
bound more forcibly. From this habit
the racquet derived it's origin. During
the time of Charles i. hand tennis was
exceedingly popular in France, being
played for large sums of money. So
strong was the passion for betting
upon the game that the nobility, after
losing all they had about them, would
pledge their wearing apparel. Ac-
ctrulHB W IdDouIeuI, d TeuCn HlSLO-
rian, the Duke of Burgundy, "having
lost sixty francs at palm-play with the
Duke Of Bourbon, Messire William de
Lyon and Messire Guy de la Tri-
meuille, and not having money enough
to pay them, gave his girdle as pledge
for the remainder, and Shortly after
ward he left the same girdle with the
Count D'Eu for eighty francs which
he lost at tennis" Indeed, it was very
common in those times to negotiate
girdes instead of bonls in betting
transactions.
In the fifteenth century regular and
fixed rules were introduced in the
game for the first time, and covered
courts were erected. In the sixteenth
century tennis courts were quite COM
mon in England, and tie sport was
literally encouraged by the sovereigns.
In work published by Hoole in 1o58
there is a picture of a tennis court,
divided by line stretched in the mid
die. and the players standing on either
side with their racquets ready 20 re-
ceive and return the ball, which the
rules of the game required to be struck
over the line.-1mericGn Queen.

A Ranch Larger tran a Small State.

The largest ranch in Texas is that
of Charles Goodnight, located at the
head of Red river. He began buying
land four years ago, securing 100000
acres at thirty-five cents an acre. In
the meantime the price has advanced
from 81 to 81 per acre, but he is still
buying and now controls 100000 acres.
To inclose his landed possessions $50
miles of fencing is required. Mr.. Good
night has herd of 10000 cattle.
When it is considered that the whole
State of Rhode Island contains only
674,944 acres, it will be seen what an
immense amount of land this mans
possessions cover. Miller g. Lux own
as much land as Mr.. Goodnight does.
They have 100000 acres in the San
Joachim valley alone.-Galreston NeWs.
