A Young Gorilla.

1t had been imported from the
Gaboon, and it was the first living spec.
linen of this great anthropomorphica ape
which had been brought to France. Its
study would have presented many
points of interest, not alone from the
natural history point of view, but also
from the opportunity it would have
afforded of studying the development
of its intellectual faculties. This young
specimen was about three years of age;
he had already his full complement Of
milk teeth, and the long and sharp
CANNES were decidedly longer than the
molars. In disposition he appeared tG
be very different from either the orang-
outang or the chimpanzee. While these
in state of captivity are mostly gentle
and sociable, this young gorilla, on the
other hand, was savage, morose, and
brutal; he never gave his keeper thu
least mark of affection; he never al.
lowed himself to be touched without
evidencing the greatest aversion, and
for the most part he returned caresses
by snappings. He never took the least
part in the games of the other apes,
and he most reluctantly tolerated hav.
ing them near him. He was but little
active, and most generally kept himself
crouched up in corner of the cage, Oh
sitting on branch with his back up
against the wall, and scarcely ever
moved except to look about for some.
thing to eat. He used his hands with
much readiness, and they were extreme.

mobile than in the chimpanzee, espe-
cially the lower lip, which was never
pouted out when drinking into spoon.

The Fleet Wild Mustangs.

While the buffalo have disappeared
at a rapid rate, the same cannot be said
of the wild horses or mustangs, es-
pecially in Northwestern Texas, where
they are found in bands numbering
from thirty to three hundred 1t is
said that among these horses are to be
found the tleetest in America, especially
noted pacerwhich would put Occident,
Jay-Eye-See and other noted steppers
to blush, as no racerh has yet been found
capable of turning him. Experiments
at their capture clearly demonstrate
that they not only possess the greatest
speed but extraordinary bottom or
staying qualities, for upon many occa-
sions parties have stationed themselves
at reasonable distances along the plains
and given chase with relays, having in
view the capture of some of the more
fleet of those noble animals; but such
chase has generally terminated in fail
ure. The wild horses of Northwestern
Texas are of stock stolen many years
since by the Kiowa and Comanche In
dams from horsemen in Eastern Texas;
hence their fine blood and great speed.

and even his nearest relatives shrink
away from him, but when fellow that

He went down six years ago for burg
larry. Everybody deserted him, and
when he was tried the judge had to APP
point counsel for him. He had been
divorced some years before, but mar
ried again, and his second wife got a
divorce as soon as he went down. Now,
the funny thing is that when his term
was up these two women were both at
Joliet to receive him, and so were about
hundred of his old friends and &C
quaintances-people who wouldn't put

A Pretty Fair Snake Story

One day last week little girl, whose
name slipped the correspondent 5
usually retentive memory, was chased
by a monster hoop-snake nearly mile.
just as it seemed that it was about to
strike her, she lodged behind large
apple tree. The rapidly whirling snake
turned to follow, and struck the tree
with such force as to drive the horn
spike into the hard wood over two
inches. The child was so frightened
that she sank down, her heart thump-
ing as though it would burst out of her
body. One of her brothers, who had
seen her flying down the hill, went to
see what was the matter. When he
reached the tree, it was quaking like an
aspen, and its leaves and fruit falling
to the ground in a perfect shower, the
PROSTATE girl being almost buried be-
meath them. AS soon as he got her
restored to consciousness he took a
fence rail and killed the venomous
monster, which was eleven feet two
and half inches in length and eight
inches in circumference. The horn
point on the tail was six and half
inches long, and so deeply imbedded
in the very hard wood that it could not
extricate itself. This all happened near
South Mountain, Richmond State.

Wine.

1t should never be forgotten that the
ancient wines were all of them quite diff
ferent from our modern wines. They
were simply the product of fermenta-
ton, like our homemade currant vino
or cider Of course they contained al
cOhol and could intoxicate, if taken in a
sufficient quantity. Hence drunkard
was one who ''tarried long at the wine"
They might have different namess
from their age, their color, their taste,
their weight, the locality of their pro-
duction, or as mixed with honey, or
with myrrh, or as made from dried
grapes, or as being simple, unchanged
grape-juice, or the latter as boiled
down. But with the exception of the
last three, which contained no alcohol,
the other wines contained very little.
the strongest of all only twelve per cent.
Our modern wines-the wines of COM
merce-are, strengthened by the addi-
ton of distilled alcohol. Few of our
wine-bibbers would care to drink wine
which had not thus been reinforced"
Port is made to contain twenty-four per
cent, and sherry twenty-seven. AS the
strongest French brandy contains only
fifty-tive per cent, one needs only to
double his draught of the latter to
secure the full effect of brandy.
But this is not all. The alcohol
sometimes employed is amylic alcohol
This gives it a soft, fruity taste. But
the effect Oh the system is exceedingly
injurious. 1t is eliminated from the
body with great difficulty. Hence it
accumulates in the system, rendering
the blood heavy and tar-like. After q
fit of intoxication from it, it may take
two or three days for the normal tenn
perature to be restored.
Some wines are treated with lime to
neutralize their acidity, and thus they
introduce into the body an excess of
salts of lime. Some have not ceased
to ferment, and the process is completed
in the stomach, thus producing dys-
pepsia. Others are charged with vola-
tile substances to impart what is called
'bouquet;" others are "beaded"
tho addition of mixture made from
the oil of sweet almonds and sulphurio
acid rubbed together with loaf sugar.
All these additions sre injurious, es-
pecially when long continued. Further.
most of our wines are now not the fruit
of the vine in any sense, but of the
chemists laboratory. YOUTHS Com

Litchfleld Cathedral.

The west front of the Litchfeld
Cathedral has been entirely restored at
a cost of Sl75, 900. The building suffered
much during the civil wars, and was
desecrated and despoiled by the Puri-
tans. 1t was subsequently imperfectly
restored with Roman cement, and now
for the first time is again seen in its
original beauty. The statues in the
inches, to the number of upwards Of
100, have been replaced, the old models,
as far as possible, being reproduced.
Included in the number will be one of
her Majesty, with the features carved

Single Eyeglasses.

"You say "happily" the custom is
