Among other mammals the female
element yields the scepter in family
life, but in the realms Of apes the male
is invested with the sovereign power,
not by general suffrage, but by the
right OF force. The Oldest and strong
est male OF o troop proclaims himself
chief and leader, after having van
qnished oil his competitors. The long
est teeth and the strongest arms de-
eide in the question OF supremacy. All
those who show reluctance to submit
are chastised until they come to rea-
son. To the strongest belongs the
crown: in his sharp teeth resides his
wisdom. This ferocious tyrant under
stands his duty as q leader, anI per.
forms the same with dignity. His
subordinates flatter and fondle him ia
everyway. As genuine Pasha, he &C.
cepts this respect with . kind of lam
guild acquiescence. In return he
watches carefully over his v~assals, and
shows q continual anxiety for their vel
fare and security. He orders and di-
reefs minute details in daily life. The
female monkey gives birth to ono
young one, very seldom to twins. The
newborn monkey is q little, ugly crea-
ture, bare OF hairs, with spindline
limbs and q repulsive. senile face. But
the mother 10 ~passionately fond Of her
monster, and caresses and nurses il
with remarkable devotion. She does
not leave it for q single moment. she
pressed it to her heart. rocks it to and
fro, takes the utmost care to keep il alb
solutely clean. In the first period OF life
the baby is a~pathetic and almost in.
sensible, but begins gradually to play
with urchins OF its age. The mother is
q patient observer Of the first steps OF
her beloved, and watches carefully that
NO harm may befall il. In the mean
time she trains il, and the first virtue
inculcated in the mind OF the youngster
is obedience, obedience in the ~strictest
sense Of the word. Men have ridiculed
the maternal affection OF the brute,
and speak Of "apish love- In our
eyes the tenderness exhibited by the
monkey may have n ridiculous side. but
where is the man .Mho could, without
deep emotion, witness the anxiety OF a
mother-ape nursing her child? Unjust
confess that, to my eye. in such cases
she is ut least the equal OF the human
mother. II the young ape dies the
spectacle is q piteous one. Tho mother
cannot be separated from the dead
body, refuses all food, and frequently
perishes from grief. In such crises
the ape proves certainly his congenial-
ity with the human race, and in his
mtsal affections could stand as an OK.

The Amusement Question.

What shall be a young woman's re-
creations and amusements?" Usually,
whatever happens to be the fashion.
Amusements come and go like the
winds whatsoever they listeth. Real
amusements must generally bring the
two sexes together--such is the law of
heaven. No attraction is so strong as
the attraction between men and women,
and it is idle to call anything amuse-
ment that rules that out. Yet the law
of heaven is law, moi anarchy, chaos;
real amusement il always amenable to
order, dignity, self-possession. Dane
ing Is, perhaps, the most decorous and
beautiful Of pure amusements. Rbyth-
mic, graceful, imperious, demanding
exact obedience. displaying beauty OF
form, and motion, and decoration, it
has received the tribute OF all ages and
all countries. 1t exhibits, at once,
and produces strength and agility. 1t
exhilarates and it fatigues. in one sway
OF pleasureable activity, training the
body and tranquilizing the soul. Ten.
mis- is an outdoor exercise-active, and,
if not in excess, most healthful. Cro-
quet is but an animated idleness to the
unskillful, yet, in the hands OF u master,
the balls do leap about like intelligent
creatures. Boating. riding. rowing,
their name is legion. One hesitates to
strike "a mali when he is down, but the
skating rink is crowded, indiscrimi-
nate and rather vulgar. Real skating
hrs much to say for itself. Far the
best way is to let the young women Sc
lect their " amusements. A girl
we'll reared. furnished with good prin-
ciples and fortified with good habits,
may be safely trusted to play ut what
ever she likes. And at ali good plays
and by all good principles the intelli.
gent and atiectionate inspection Of par
ents and elders is not suffered as q
necessary evil. but welcomed as an adj
ditional pleasure, il not even demanded
as a prerequisite to pleasure. Gail
Hamilton.

is one of the executive committee OF

here parties could be found who wOuli
take half the capital stock that may
be desired TO start with. lie estiula-
ted that a building 50x40 feet with 10
feet post can be erected and the factory
completed ready for work in five weeks
for Sl5O0.03. The capital stock desir-
ed would be about 5000 or $4,000
Twenty families who would have stock
Invested would move to PenusgroVe t.
be housed, clothed, and fed and in-
prove the value and business of the va
entity.
Many think the factory would be a
great benefit to the town and would
like to have it come, but there seems 10
be no one to head the project and push
it. Mr.. Henry Barber offers to give
the land on which to erect the building
and several have expressed a wiling
ness to take a small amount of stock

Two Million Shad.

The Chester Times says: "a careful
compilation Of the number of shad
caught in the Delaware river and bay
during the past season places the num-
Der at over a million. This includes
all the fisheries, and was made for the
United States fish commissioners. III
is as nearly correct as possible, and Is
much nearer than the mark than the
statement Of the New jersey fish com
missioners, Of the fact that it includes
the fisheries Oh both sides Of the river
and all the gill-nets. The prices aver
aged from $50 to SO during the sea-
son wholesal The lovers of fish still
have a long list from which to choose.
The season for bass, founders, blue
fish and yea trout Is nearing the Close
but they will be followed by eissoes,
whitefsh aud other later varities, which
will keep up thc supply as tile season
advances. " This estimate is low accori-
ing TO the reports of Fish WardeDs oil
Gloucester, Camden and Burlington
counties whose reported catch amounts
to 9S8, 500 shad. The reported catch
for the upper district of Salem comfy
is los, 600 shad. There are more than
twice as many nets that fish in the low
er district south of and including
PpunsVilIe. then thpra are /. the up
per district and more shad are caught
to each net in the lower district. 302a=
900 shad seems like q fair estimate Tor
Salem County's catch, which VIII
make New Jerseys catch alone amount
to / 43s, $50. Pennsylvania and Della
ware woall bring the amount to about
two mil ions of shad taken from tile
waters of the Delaware river. The
Wholesale price of the Times IS to
ili.l as shad s0ll as slow as IS per hun
hired. The average during the whole
season pad by the buyers on the PENIS
grove shad boat was SD 10 per hun
dfed which isthe most reliable estimate.
Tie slIad sold on shore will increase
this average a small amount. The silad
fishing in the Delaware river is u oil
the largest industries in this SECTION oi
the county as $685. 900 cash is taken bJ
the fishermen according to this estl-
att.
