An Orang- Outang Accepting Fate,

The largest orang- outang ever brought
to this country was received few days
ago. 1t is an adult male, and reached
here within about six weeks after its
capture in an African forest, so that it
was as far from being tanned as wild
animal could well be. When the close
front of its box was taken off, the sight
of men aroused it to paroxysms of app
prehension and rage. It would alter
nately squeal like. q cornered rat and
grunt like an angry boar, varying its
vigorous and dissonant remarks upon
the situation by violently shaking its
cage and assuming the most diabolical
facial expressions. Ina couple Of DAYS,
however, it made an exception in favor
OF its keeper, sturdy German, who
supplied its frequent meals OF dates, ba-
nanas, and egg-yolks beaten up with
sugar. Then it began to demonstrate a
lively curiosity about the strange sights
and sounds surrounding it. The con-
tinual chorus of shrieks, whistles,
screams, and songs from the myriad of
birds within hearing, the chatter Of a
couple Of young dog-faced balloons in
the cage below it, the antics of q pair Of
lop-eared rabbits in an opposite cage.
the automaton-like industry of the men
filling seed and water into the crates Of
the canaries within full view, all
seemed to have interest for the intelli-
gent brute, and in cognition over the
enormous problem, s.What sort of q
place have got into?" it appeared to
forget both fear and anger.
Already it looks with equanimity up
on most persons who stop to exchange
regards with it, and is little likely to
make any other dem nstration than an
ostentatious interest in the skylight, to
avoid meeting the too sharp and pro-
longed gaze Of . visitor. When col
ored man stopped before it few days
ago it showed pleasure, and appeared
to recognize in him the sort Of human
being it had been used to in his native
jungle. Its philosophic acceptance Of
the new conditions Of existence into
which it has been thrown, and its readi-
ness to learn all it can Of them, make it
an interesting beast.

What Next Will a Girl Do2

A very pretty society belle called the
other afternoon, in all the glory of a
fresh toilet, on another and very stylish
society belle. The servant thought that
the lady was at home, and so invited
her caller into the parlor. Then the
servant disappeared up stairs to find
her mistress. The young lady was not
to be found. On her way down stairs
with this information the servant was
startled by loud shrieks from the parlor.
Running rapidly down the broad stair
way and into the parlor she found the
pretty caller perched on the highest
chair in the room, her skirts gathered
closely around her, her eyes filed with
tears, and the air filled with piercing
screams. The maid was puzzled for a
moment. s'Take him away! Take him
away" shrieked the pretty belle. Then
the maid looked at the base of the ami
mated statue and perceived diminu-
tive Skye terrier, who was mildly gaz-
ing at the excited young lady above
him. The terrier was promptly taken
away, the weeping damsel descended
and departed, and an aristocraic neigh
borhood was once more at peace.
