Perhaps the only attempts which
have been made 10 ciyilize the
monkey is in Malabar, India. \ fine
species indigenous in this quarter
is the Neilghcrry langur. The ma
tives here have tanning machines
called the punka. In other days
the punka, which sonsists Of a mOy-
able frame covered withcanyas and
suspended from the ceiling, was
kept in motion by a slave pulling Il
cord. An English officer conceived
the idea of teaching the langur to
do the work. lie took one Of the
species and tied It's hands to the
cord, while by means of another
cord the machine was kept in mo-
ton. The movement of the cord
is up and down, and OF course, the
monkeys hand being tied to it,
went up down, and the animal saw
the machine move. Its master patted
ted its head and il with candy, and
langur soon learned to think il fun
to work the machine. When was
in Malabar securing specimens ofthe
species, saw thousands of them
working the punka, the Indians
having Immediately put the ami
mails in captivity when they saw
their untility.-Dr. III. 4. Ward,

THE EYES.
What the Different Kind of
Eyes lndicate-ThcirC Chnruc.
ter.

Black eyes are indicative Of pas
sionate ardor and love.
Hasty irritable person have fre-
quently eyes of Il brownish tint,
inclined to greenish hue.
Green eyes, although their prais-
es are often sung in Spanish bal
lads, show deceit and conquety.
Very dark blue eyes, with some
thing of the tint Of the violet, show
great power Of affection and purity
of mind, but not much intellectu-
atty.
Brown eyes when not of the yel-
lowish tint, but pure russet brown,
show an afiectionate disposition
the darker the brown the mo.e
aren't and passionate is the power
of affection.
The brown eyes of sweet, gentle
and unselfish natures, without the
Inconsistency ofthe light brown or
yellow eyes, golden eyes," as
they were little more to be trusted
than the green eyes.
Clear, light blue eyes, with calm
steadfastness in their glance, are
indicative Of cheerfulness of dis
position, of serene temper and
constant nature. These eyes are
peculiar to the Nothern nations;
one meets them among the Swedes,
and also sometimes among the
Scotch.
Tne blue eyes among the rare
blondes of the South-that is in
Italy and Spain, have among them
eyes in which are some greenish
tints: and such eyes, though often
called light blue, have none of the
qualities Of serenity and constancy
which belong to the light blue eyes
of the North.
Although the purely green eye
indicates deceit and conquetry, the
propensity to greenish tints in the
eye is sign of wisdom and courage.
Very choleric persons, if they have
blue eyes, have also certain tints Of
green in them, and when under the
influence Of anger q sudden red
light appears in them.
In England, where there are
more varieties of tints than in any
other country, the poets have almost
always gray eyes. A biographer OF
Byron speaks Of his beautiful,
changeful gray eyes" Shakespeare
also had, we are told, gray eyes.
the artist, too, eyes Of this
color abound.
The pleasant blue eye with the
honest glance must not be con-
founded with another sort Of eve of
a pale blue, almost steel colored .
hue, which has q continually shift |
ing sort of motion, both Of the eye
lids and the pupils of the eye. Peo-
pic with such eyes as these are to
be avoided, as they are indicative
Of deceitful and selfish nature.
Gray eyes, of a somewhat green
sh gray, with orange as well as
blue in them, and which are ever
varying tints like the sea, are those
which denote most intelectuality.
They are especially indicative Of
he impulsive, impressionable tenn
mixture oi the sangu-
ne and the bilious - which pro-
iuces the poetic and artistic
latures.-New York Herald.

Msee girls every day going to the dra-
matte and musical agencies and asking
for something to do, and wondering
why it is they don't get it-nice girls,
too. They never get there. They new
er seem to know, and, of course, no.
body wants to tell them, that they are
not good looking enough for chorus
singers. Do you suppose that any
manager of comic opera wants a cho-
rus that can sing or act? No. They
want Il chorus that dresses, and what
they call good looks. They pay pre-
mium forgood lockers. A good-looker
brings a crowd to the house. A girl
that IS not noticed on the street,
when she gets on the stage is followed
round and gets to be alioness. Ihave
seen plenty OF plain girls get on for a
short time because they could sing or
dance or. had some accomplishment
that made them of some value to q
manager; but in the end they get thrown
out for somebody else who can do the
same things, and who is pretty, too.
Do you suppose that the success OF
comic opera comes from the fact that
the opera is good, or that the ptinc,--
pals know their business? ii you
do you don't know much. 1t is the
chorus g'rl who draws, not the princi
pal. The star is only the cover; the

the mortified young fellow; you don t
seem to remember me-" ''To tell the
truth, have never been to Mexico. "
"Are you not Sir Edward ThoInton?'
"No, / am Judge Poland ofVernont. "
A few nights after this rebuff the young
man happened to be at another party,
and, seeing the Judge, made up to HIM.
After a little desultCry conversation
he ventiired to say, THAT was an
awful blunder of mine the other eve

"And whom 10 you take me for now,
may ask" "Why, you told me you
were Judge Poland of Vermont The
reply was crushing-"On the contrary
