!, An Orang-Outang Accepting Fate.

The largest orang-Outang ever brought
to this country was received few days
ago. tits 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 q wild animal
could well be. When the close front
of its box was taken off, the sight of men
aroused it toparoxysms of apprehension
and rage. 1t would alternately squeal
like a 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.
In couple of days, however, it made an
exception in favor of its keeper. sturdy
German, who supplied its frequent meals
of dates, bananas and egg-yelks beaten
up with sugar. Then it began to dem
onstrate a lively curiosity about the
strange sights and sounds surrounding
it. The continual chorus of shrieks,
whistles, screams and songs from the
myriad of birds withinhea the chatter
of a couple of young dog faced balloons
in the cage below it, the antics of pair
of lOp-eared rabbits in an opposite cage,
the automaton-like industry of the men
filing seed and water into the crates of
canaries within full view, all seemed to
have interest in the intelligent brute and
in cOgitation over the enormous problem,
"What sort of place have got into?n,
it appeared to forget both fear and
anger.
Already it looks with equanimity upon
most persons who stop to exchange re-
CARDS with it, and it is likely to make
any other demonstration than an osten-
tatious interest in the skyhght. to avoid
meeting the too sharp and prolonged
gaze of a visitor. When a colored man
stopped before it few days ago it showed
pleasure and appeared to recognize in
him the sort of human being it has been
used to in his native jungle. Its philo-
sophie acceptance of the new conditions
of existence into which it has been
thrown, and its readiness to learn all it
can of them, make it an interesting
beast IN. Y. Star.

Stage Dancers.

A woman in Newark, while attending
a performance of "Around the World in
Eighty Days." about a week ago, dis
covered her daughter in the ballet. The
incident has suggested to some one the
writing of sensational story about the
abduction of young girls from their
homes to swell the ranks of stage
dances. This sort of rubbish succeeds
in gaining publicity oftener than it
would if more were known about stage
dancers and the lives they lead. In this
city there is always ademand for large
number of ballet girls, as there is never
a time except during dog-days, when
ballet is not one of the attractions of
from one to three or four theaters in this
city and vicinity. A woman can not
hold her place in the ballet of the metro
politan theaters unless she be at least
passibly proficient in her art and attain
even mediocre excellence requires hard,
persistent work and temperate living.
There are probably three or four hum
dred women here who are professional
dancers, and they constitute prosaic
and for the most part an honorable class
of working girls. Many of them
are in the employment of the same
amusement managers year after year.
The last time the Kiralfys brought out
one of their spectacular plays here it was
noticed that in their ballet were MANY
of the dancers whom they took with
them to Chicago six years ago, when
they produced ''Around the World in
that city. What some of these ancient
ladies of the ballet lack in freshness they
make up in proficiency. Many of these
girls get from twenty-five to sixty dol
lars week, and there are few of them
who do not help to support poor mothers
and sisters. Some of them live in
Brooklyn, and they may be seen in the
ferry-boats about twelve o'clock any
night trooping homeward. A few
among them have been so industrious
and saving that they own the houses in
which they live. There is Ballet Girls
Protective Benevolent Union, into which
each member pays a monthly fee for
the benefit of those who may need
assistance. Many of the best dancers
on the New York stage are not person
ally attractive by any means. If they
once were, the lapse of time has robbed
them of their youthful charm of face.
The art of making up, however, goes
far to transform an old woman into a
young one, and a plain face into one
that is pretty.
There is a factory in Brooklyn for the
manufacture of many sorts of theatrical
goods, including silk and cotton tights
and padded hosiery. This last-named
article is not worn by theatrical people
alone, but many women and some men
who may be daily seen along the
avenue and on the drives wear padded
hosiery, with fine silk hosiery over it.
particularly at fancy dress balls. The
tights worn by ballet-dancers are almost
always padded with lamb's-wool fleece.
so that, in spite of her seeming scanti-
ness of attire, the dancer is not likely
to suffer from cold.-N Y. Cor. Chicago

Air Clocks.

Although the grand programme re-
lating TO works of public utility in France
has been modified considerably of late
and their execution retarded by various
causes which it would be long to enumer-
ate, there has been no hitch in carving
out part of the scheme which is CO lcerned
with the supply of compressed air for
practical uses in the capital. 1t will be
rem embered that the original scheme in
cluded the working, by means of this
agency. not only of clocks in the munic-
ipal buildings and offices and in private
houses, but also of electric lighting and
Of various motors for commercial pun
poses. OF these designs. the first men
toned is the only one which has vet been
realized to any large extent; but in this,
at any rate, namely. the perfecting by
the new power distribution of force 20
the Parision clocks. rapid progress is
being made. Before the end of last year
IL was announced that no fewer than six
thousand clocks ofvarious kinds, chiefly
exposed TO public view, were regulated
in this way in three of the most propu-
lous dTTORdiSSeDlent' of the capital. A
short delay will now suffice to establish
the system in all the other districts, in
Guiding the whole area within the forti-
fications, and even TO extend il to some
of the principal suburbs. Already about
COO. 900 feet of condults have been laid,
and one at least of the branch stations
for storing the air has beeI completed
and fitted up for use. The principal
works at which the COMPRISING process
is performed are situated in the Rue
Menilmontant, and occupying an area
Of about 1000 square yards. The air is
compressed to a normal pressure of six
atmospheres, but the force actually en-
ployed in the local service is not so much
as half of this. When the project has
been fully worked out the whole city
will be supplied with condults and ac-
cumulators and the motive force will be
supplied TO those who require il at set
price in much the same way as gas and

Windows In the Barn.

One Of the great mistakes which the
farmers Of the past have made. has been
the keeping Of farm animals in dark
barn. Many careful experiments show
that light Is very necessary for health
and the good condition of animals.
Mich cows, when changed from dark
To light place, not only give more milk
on the same amount of food, but keep i'm
n better condition; and when returned
To their former dark quarters. shrink to
the amount OF milk given before removed
~ n light place. What Is true of the
COW Is true Of other animals. The horse
F'sele should not only be well ventilated
but also well lighted. Sunshine is almost
rs necessary TO good health rs water and
air.
In building n barn efforts should be
made TO locate il and arrange the inte-
rior SO as to have good light from both
the south and west sides. A light barn
j. not only better for the animals, but IL is
also much better and more pleasant for
the owner To feed his stock. There is a
serious objection TO keeping hogs in
u barn cellar on account OF the
want OF light. II il is intended
10 keep hogs on the manure, some
other place than the cellar should
be- provided TO keep it i'm. IL the
barn sets on n side hill. this can be
lono by shed on the side Of the barn
where the cattle are kept; it should be
some four To- six feet lower than the barn

windows. and will make an excellent
place to keep hogs in, and certainly n
better place to keep manure, because il
can be moro easily carted out. and IS
where the odors will not penetrate the
barn as much rs when in the cellar.
AS rule, the barns are too dark;
therefore the need of reform. There
are many farmers who have not yet
given the subject of light any attention,
but IL is n subject so important that no
farmer should neglect TO give it his care
ful attention; by so doing. few, IL any.
will fail To- become satisfied that few
tluEgs will pay better than few extra

In the days Of our grandfathers when
every pane of glass, however small, was
taxed by the Government. there might
have been some reason for dark barns;
but now, when glass is cheap and the
Government officers do not stop 10

How To Buy A Horse.

An old horseman says: eff You want
10 buy horse, don't believe your own
brother. Take no mans word for il.
Your eye is your market. Don't buy n
horse in harness. Unhitch him and
take everything of but his halter and
lead him around. II he has n corn, or is
still. or has any other failing, you can
see IT, Let him 60 by himself little
ways and II he slaves right into anything
you may know he is blind. No matter
how clear and bright his eyes are. he
can't see any more than n bat. Back
HIM, too. Some horses show their
weakness or tricks in that way when they
don't in any other. But. be as smart as
you can. you'll get caught sometimes.
Even an expert gets stuck. A horse
may look ever so nice and 90 n good
pace and yet have fits. There isn't a
man could tell it'll something happens.
Or he may have a weak back. Give
him the whip and or he goes for n mile
or two, then. all of sudden, he stops In
the road. After rest be starts again.

range about mile long. and near It ara
q score of tables with every conceivable
edible laid out handy. Every kind of
cooked meat stands under a bio pewter
cover, which swings aloft on a chain and
pulley when a man wants to cut off q
slice, and everywhere is wonderful order
in the midst of wondrous confusion. All
the dishes are kept warm on a series of
steam-heated racks hung with curtains
to keep specks of, and near by are 8
series of watts where the dish-washers are
up to their ears in mist. sliding crockery
around in soap-suds by the barrelful.
The laundry is a repetition of this
terrible hustle-a mass of watts and
wringers, fiat-irons, white-covered IRON
ing-tables and good-natured girls, who
flop off a napkin as if it were no Joke at
all, or turn a collar over with the dex-
terity of laundry-born and bred China
man.
An important adjunct of every hotel is
the wine-room, under the supervision of
the wine steward. In the bar-room are
two or three bar-tenders, q man who
washes the glasses and sings drinks
when he is not washing, and a cashier,
all of whom have there duplicates, so that
there is a change in the hands on deck
about every six hours. The billiard tables
are looked after by set of boys, who
hand out the balls, head the cues, brush
the cloths and keep things in shape gen.
orally.
This much for hotels. A great deal
more might be said about milk contracts
and match contracts, meat-stacks as big
as ice-houses-anda all that sort of thing
from boxes of wooden tooth-picks up
to tons of coal-but enough has been
said to show that hotel is worth look
ing into, when the top is taken off, and
the reader is left to infer whether the
original premise be not true-that large
hotel in large city is a village all by
