The ancient dog days we're 10 in

4 to September IA. They were so
called by EgyptIan astronomers for
the reason that Sirius, the Dog Star,
rose with the sun during that period,
and uniting its influence to that Of
Old Sol, caused extreme heat and
sickness. MoAeFA dog days depend

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The postmaster
general has awarded to the American Bank
Note company of New York the contract
for furnishing postage stamps for the next
four years at slOl, ,5l6 50 per annum for or
,linary stamps (Which will be printed en-
virely by steam) and 2,44279 for postage
due and other issues of stamps, making a
total of SOB, ,959.6l per annum. The gross
bid of the bureau of engraving and printing,
which was the next lowest bid, was STA,
$50. 80, and the work was to have been ex-
ecuted by combination Of steam and hand
work Samples of steam work of the Amer
lean Bank Note company were found to be
fully equal to the requirements of the de-
partment. The price paid for ordinary
stamps, under the new contract, will be
600 cent per thousand, as against 9.l9
cents under the present contract. Nearly
four billion stamps are required annually to
meet the demands of the service. saving
of three cents per thousand during the next
four wears will show considerable reduct-
ion in this item of expenditure.

MONKEYS.

The Family Life Of Our Simian Progenitors.
Among other mammals the female
element yields the scepter in family life.
but in the realm of apes the male is in
vested with the sovereign power, not by
general suffrage, but by the right Of
force. The oldest and strongest male
Of troop proclaims himself chief and
leader. after having vanquished all his
competitors. The longest teeth and
the strongest arms decide in the ques-
ton of supremacy. All those who
show reluctance to submit are chastised
till they come to reason. To the strong
est belongs the crown; in his sharp
teeth resides his wisdom. This fero-
cious tyrant understands his duty as
leader, and performs the same with dig
nifty. His subordinates fatter and fon-
die him in every way. As genuine
Pasha, he accepts this respect with
kind of languid acquiescence. In return
he watches carefully over his vassals,
and shows = continual anxiety for their
welfare and security. He orders and
directs minute details IN daily life. The
female monkey gives birth to one young
one, very seldom to twins. The newborn
monkey is little ugly creature, bare of
hairs, with spindling limbs and repul-
sive, senile face. But the mother is pas
sionately fond of her monster. and ca
resses and nurses it with remarkable
devotion. She does not leave it for .
single moment, she, presses it to her
heart, rocks it to and fro, and takes the
utmost care to keep it absolutely clean.
In the first period of life the baby is
apathetic and almost insensible. but be-
gins gradually to play with urchins Of
its age. The mother is patient OBJ
server Of the first steps of her beloved,
and watches carefully that no harm
may befall it. In the meantime she
trains it, and the first virtue inculcated
in the mind Of the youngster is obs
dience, obedience in the strictest sense
of the word. Men have ridicnled the
maternal affection of the brute, and
speak of .'apish love-" In our eyes the

have a ridiculous side, but where is the

PEAR RAISING.
Instances Where the Culture of This Fruit
Has Become Exceedingly Profitable.

Instances Whore the Culture of This Fruit
Has Become Exceedingly Profitable.
An instance of profitable pear-raising
ID found in report to the American
Pathological Society in regard to the
pear orchard of the Old Dominion Fruit
Growing Company, located seventy-five
miles below Richmond, Va. on the
James River. The orchard contains
10000 trees, 1900 of which are Bart
let's, and have nearly all been set since
1871. When the trees were planted
they were one or two years old. and
were cut back to within foot OF the
ground. They were cut back low to
make them low-headed. Twenty or
thirty acres are planted annually with
corn, as much more with peanuts and
the rest sown with black peas, which
are plowed under in the autumn.
This green manuring, together with
some mari, is all the fertilizing the
land receives. The company paid Sl2,-
600 for the farm and used 5000 in
planting trees. and for other expenses.
The first dividend was paid in 1880.
The fruit brought $4,000, which. with

twenty per cent. on the $40. 900 of capt.
tai stock. In 1881. 1000 boxes of pears
were sold, with net return of $13.684.
out Of which fifty per cent. dividend
was paid to the stockholders. besides
ten per cent. set aside for current ex-
penses. Most of the trees had been set
within the last eight years, and were
still quite small. These are results
which show that there is money to be
made in pear-raising when suitable
location is selected. and the trees are
well cared for. Some times few pear
