inducements for them to locate between

they may be permitted to assist in the

Education BY Monkey.
BLANK.

From the Baptist Weekly.
The newest service rendered by mon
keys to mankind was recently illustrated
in London. In one of the school districts
there were a great many parents who re-
ported no children in their families, and
in order to ascertain the real number of
children in the district the school officers
resorted to an ingenius measure. Two
monkeys were gayly dressed, put in
wagon, and, accompanied by brass
band, were carried through the streets
of the district. At once crowds of chill
dren made their appearance. The pro-
cession was stopped in park, and the
school officers began their work, dis
tributing candies to the youngsters, and
taking their names and addresses. They
found out that over sixty parents kept
their children from school, and the mon
KEYS and brass band brought about two
hundred little boys and girls to school,
which was pretty well done for two
monkeys.

ATOUCHING SCENE.

\
The SelE-Sacrifice of a Woman Which
Changed SeIfshness to Sympathy.
ssThare was a pathetic scene on train
on the Westers Division of the Erie Sat
urday," said a.conductur on that road to
a New York Sun reporter. "a woman
boarded the train at Olean. She carried
in her arms baby but a few weeks old.
It was very cross and peevish, and defied
all of its nurses efforts to keep it quiet.
It's cries were at times so loud and pierc-
ing that the other passengers could not
hide their annoyance, and after a while
audible expressions of their feelings came
from all parts of the car. The woman
was patient under the double trial of the
child's troublesomeness and the evident
knowledge of the annoyance it was TO her
fellow passengers. She talked soothingly
to the child, placed it in all positions and
to so arrange its wrappings as to, III
measure, deaden the sound of its cries.
Finally some one in the car, whose impa-
tience had got the better of his sympa-
thy, shouted out:
:. If that child can't be kept quiet, 1
hope it may be removed from the car at
the next station =
This unfeeling remark seemed to
meet with general approval, and the poor
woman's eyes filled with tears, and in at
tempting 10 speak her feelings overcame
her and she pressed the baby closer to her
and sobbed violently. She soon recover
ed herself and redoubled her efforts to
keep the child quiet. For short time
she succeeded somewhat, but presently
the cries of the baby were as loud as and
prolonged as ever. At last a man arose
and said sharply:
Madam, it would seem to me that
the mother of an infant should know how
to take at least half care of it.
"The train had now stopped at Sala-
nancy. At the remark of the second
speaker the woman arose in her seat and,
facing the car full of passengers, said, in
voice trembling:
81 am not this poor little thing
mother. l never saw it before yesterday,
and l believe it hasn't living relative.
It's father was killed on the railroad a
week before it was born. It's mother,
living in a distant place, hurried to the
scene of her husbands death. The child
was born among strangers, and day be
fore yesterday the mother died, leaving
her little one with no one to care for 1T
| lived in the house where the mother
died and volunteered to do what l coulc
for the poor little thing and to go witt
the dead woman's remains to her native
place Her body is on this train. an
sorry the child is so troublesome, bu
isn't it entitled to some little sympathy
"The effect of the woman's words ma,
be imagined. There were few dry eye
in the car when she dropped, sObbing, in
to her seat. All selfshness was lost il
sympathetic thoughts of the desolate lit
tie wanderer, and a score of hands that
moment before were almost willing t
raise in chastisement of the babe wer
now anxious to extend aid to it and ii
self-sacrifcing guardian. It was tout
of nature that made the whole worl
kin"
