Above we give our young people the por-

fond of him, mostly calls him BABY

bad brenths, the creatures pine away and die
OF consumption.
There is only one c~himpanzee besides this
one in the country, and that one is in Phila-
dclphia- C~himpanzees are the strongest,
hercest Of the ape tribe, and very dangerous.
They are the most intelligent, too, and seem
almost like wild men of the woods, rather
than dumb animals. Baby is very fond OF
his keeper now, and plays and Is petted like
a child, but if he lives to be ful-grown he
will probably become sullen and savage. A
blow from his tough, powerful hand will be
enough to break a mans skull.

Above is the learned name, with an nc
.companying picture Of the famous coca
plant. II Is found wild and is also extern
sively cultivated in South America, especially
in Peru and Bolivia 1t has long been
known to travellers and their readers that the
South American Indians chew the leaves of
the coca plant as a stimulant. Under It's in
iuence they are able to carry immense loads
over the Andes mountains, to perform long
journeys and abstain from foo many hours
without experiencing Ill effects. 1t seems as
though medical science ought to have made
greater use Of this valuable plant long ago,
but II did not. So estimable did the ancient
Peruvians regard it that it was used In the
ceremonies of sun worship in the times of the
Incns.
Cocaine is the alkaloid extracted from this
plant The salt used In medicine is the hydro
chlorate Of cocaine. The property for which
it has suddenly sprung into fame is that Of
producing local i~nsensibflity TO pain in sur
gical operations. A solution Of the hydro
chlorate, 2 TO % per cent. strong of the drug,
according to need, is applied to the affected
part with a camel's hair brush, painting two
or three times at intervals of two or three
minutes In case OF surgical operations ON
the eye the fluid ia dropped under the lid. In
a short time complete insensibility, not OF the
psrson, but merely Of the part which the Co
caine touches, subvenes, and the most trying
operations may thus be performed on any
part of the human body without pain. In
dentistry the new ansesthetic Is simply invalu-
able. Even the pulp.or exposed nerve of a
tooth may thus be painlessly destroyed. Ear
ache and like excruciating fortunes are cured
In a few minutes.
But this is not all. This marvellous new
drug is believed TO be a complete antidote for
drunkenness, the opium habit and other hab

The problem of the electric locomotive has
been successfully solved at Cleveland, o.
A short line of street cars Is there run by this
motor. 1t has stood every test tr~iumphantly.
The severest strain was endured during the
late cold weather. A great snow storm Wis
tied Cleveland. The streets and tracks were
piled high with snow, slush and sleet- Flows
were out, additional horses were brought, and
men were shoveliug on the tracks Of the horse
lines, and even then the cars were unable to
make time. But at the usual hour, as though
nothing had happened, tho little giant that
propelled the electric ear breasted the snow
and ice, drove through it and rode over it
triumphantly, without Il pound OF additional
outside force from man; horA, pillow or boy.

sulphate of sodium t. remove the salts of

until the liquid has attained the consistence
Of sirup. Treat the whole with water to
separate the resinous part, and then precipi-
tate with carbonate Of odium The precipi-
tate is then to be exhausted by suiphuric
ether, and the ethereal solution, after the
ether is distilled, Is exposed to the air until
every trace Of ether has completely disap-
peared. By this means is obtained a crystal
lized residu OF a brownish yellow and Of a
disagreeable smell. This is impure cocaine.
The coloring matter is removed by washing
once or twice with cold alcohol. The cocaine,
thus purified, appears in the form of trans

taste, soluble in seven hundred parts Of cold
water, more soluble in alcohol, and entirely
soluble in eSher. 1t forms soluble salts with

The leading dry goods houses now have
regularly what are called bridal departments.
In these all the lingerie required for a brides
trousseau may be bought ready made.
Stitching on her wedding garments, gather
ing in a sweet thought or broidering a happy
dream with each is no longer the fashion for
a girl. Life has too much crowded into it for
that. The ready made outfit can be bought
in prices to suit all purchasers In under
wear it is no longer necessary TO get enough
OF a supply to last a lifetime. Nothing Is
more absurd than to lumber ones self up with
an immense quantity of clothes, as if, in
marrying. a bride were going out of reach of
civilization. For inexpensive bridal outfits,
anywhere from half adozen to dozen articles
OF each kind is quite sufficient.
On asking for bridal sets of underwear, the
purchaser viii be shown boxes holding three
pieces each, night gown, chemise and
drawers, trimmed to match. One set of fine
muslin, trimmed with Torchon lace and tucks,
comes at 1928. Another, with Mother Hub
bard night gown and the trimming Of Medici
lace, is shown at $3.50. The Medici lace is
the latest fancy for underwear trimming. II
wears as well as Torchon, and is richer look
ing and handsomer. The fronts of chemises
are now cut out in a deep square or V-shaped,
and filed in with lace. The effect is very
pretty. Beginning with the material aud
prices named, these sets Of underwear run up
into rich and elaborate Valenciennes lacework
and linen, and cost as high as $3.50 each.
There are handsome flannel skirts In all
colors. Plain ones with hem and tucks cost
about 81. ". From this prices range upward
to over Is. For the latter price a prettily
embroidered article is shown, made with a
yoke and draw-string at the waist
Elaborateness and business is the fancy Of
the hour in everything White skirts come
In large fiat boxes, one skirt to Il bdx. The
price runs from IS to SEQ. These skirts are
founced up the back TO the waist to add full
ness to the tourntire, which is the French VI
hustle. The most expensive skirts have two
bottom hounces pat on in knife plating, and
are trimmed with Vnlenciennes lace. SILK
nndershirts cost a. 50, drawers TO match for
about D dollar less.
Cream white surah silk, embroidered or
otherwise, trimmed with Oriental lace and
worn with a tuile veil, makes a very pretty
wedding dress for girls who are not rich
enough TO be great heiresses. Embroidered
goods for the wedding dress is very fashion
able at present. Here is the description Of the
latest Paris bI idal costume: A heavy ivory
white satin, embroidered with bands OF pure
white sill orange blossoms, the skirt with a
draped front and a long train, the latter also
embroidered with orange blossoms. The
white skirt in front was caught up on one
side with a spray OF the same flowers, a cluster
OF which also closes the corsage at the throat.

just now we are in tbs transition period Of
clothes. The new has not come out yet. and
the old begins to look tiresome in our eyes.

We are now in the midst Of the semi-annual
clearing up sales OF the New York dry goods
houses. They are making room for the open
ing OF spring stocks. In the present genera
ton many lines OF goods will never be so
cheap again as they are now. A fairly good
white muslin skirt, with tucks and fiouncing,
can be had for IS cents. Jerseys, quite decent
looking, are only so cents. In all kinds Of
women's ready-made underwear the same Is
true. Drawers, chemises, night dresses and
corset covers can be had for almost nothing
They are very good, too, and fairly well made.
1t such rates it is far cheaper to buy the arti-
Gle than to buy the muslin and make it, at least
for busy women whose time is money. Ladies
who have not much to do but kill time occasion
ally make II a point Of pride TO construct their
own underwear by hand themselves. Tn
hand stitching, like rows Of pearls, the dainty
and beautiful Valenciennes lace and en-
broidery are pretty and artistic. But in a
general way, life in our day is too valuable
for grown wemen to spend their time in this
way.
A tolerable corset can be bought for so
cents. Table linen and napkins are down in
price correspondingly. Hosiery good enough
for most Of us on ordinary occasions runs al
25 TO 40 cents a pair. Shoes share in the gen
eral slaughter. Some of the m~arked-down
footwear looks slightly %shopworn and rum
pied, but stiIl there are bargains in this stock
the like Of which has scarcely been seen In
previous winters. There are slippers, really
dainty and pretty, for 81. Buttoned boots
are noted at $3.50 and 81, which half the
women in the world would be quite willing
TO wear anywhere. Wraps, ready-made COS
TUNES, neckwear and gloves are also marked
down to swell the list OF bargains And all
these bargains especially those in ready
made clothing and underwear, tell Of com
mercial distress, OF merciless bard times

for things to be too cheap.
