The Hairy Covering of the Gorilla.

The hairy coat of the gorilla consists
of long, thick, straight or stiflly curved
bristles, and also of shorter, thinner,
and curled woolly hair. On the crown
of the head the hair is somewhat stiff,
from twelve TO twenty millimeters in
length, and it becomes erect under the
fore part of the chin are only clothed
with short, stiff hairs, they grow thick
ly on the back part of the chin like a
beard or forelock. The hairs which
turn outward from the sides of the
face and on the neck are thirty or more
millimeters in length. On the shoulder
the hair is from $50 to $50 millimeters
long, hanging down on the upper arms
and the back. In the middle of tire
upper arm the hair is from fifty to sew
enty millimeters long, growing down
ward as far as the bend of the elbow.
At this pont it generally begins to
grow in an upward direction. On the
back of the forearm it again grows
downward. In the middle of the fore
arm, on its inner side, parting of the
hair takes place, as one portion goes in
the front of the radius, while the other
portion turns behind the ulna. On the
back of the wrist tuft of curved hair
turns upward, middle tuft goes di-
rectly back, and the lower tuft, also
curved, turns outward. On the back
of the hand the hairs turn toward the
fingers. On the breast and belly the
hairs are shorter and grow more
sparsely. On the breast their direction
is, as a rule, upward and outward. On
the belly they converge from the ribs
toward the center of the navel. On
the thighs the hairs are about 100
millimetos long, and here, as on the
lower part of the leg, they tend out
ward, while on the back of the foot
they grow toward the toes. On the
back shoulders and on the thigh and
leg the bristles are slightly curved.
This quality increases the general i'm
preston of shagginess and feeciness
which is produced by the hairy coat of
these creatures. The woolly hair does
not grow very thick, and is not much
matted.-RObert Hartman, it Pop

Not as Bad as He Might BE.

There once lived down East" pecu-
liar and original old gentleman named
Adams, who was known to all the
neighborhood for miles around by his
harmless and amusing eccentricities.
A lawyer named Somerby, riding out
of. town early one summer morning,
discovered Mr.. Adams making his way
afeld with the necessary haying tools
"a jug and a scythe-and stopped to
have talk with him.
The soil in that part of the country
is very thin and sandy, and the hay
crop very light, and the good-hrmored
lawyer took occasion to remark upon
the fact, and to pity the farmers who
were obliged to wiring a scanty living
from such barren acres.
The old gentleman heard him pa
tently for time, but at length ne
broke out:
Look here, squire, you're wasting
your sympathy. l amt so poor as you
think l am. don't own this farm. -

Unhappy Marriages.

The universal expectation of married
people is, that their married lives will
always be happy ones Deluded dream
ers! They imagine that they are diff
ferent from other people, and that when
they enter the portals of matrimony,
love, peace, and prosperity will ever be
their attendants. Such had better con-
slider themselves the same as others,
but form iron resolutions to do differ
ent from other married people-reso-
lutions that will keep them from the
dangerous coasts on which so many
have been wrecked and ruined. I'm
happy marriages depend upon many
causes. Previous to marriage, many
try to appear more intellectual, more
amiable or more accomplished than
they really are. Depend upon it, that
love brought into existence 10y moon
light stroll, strengthened by deceit and
fashionable displays, and finally con-
summated through the influence of in
triguing friends, will fade in after life
almost as fast as the flowers which
compose the bridal wreath.

General Grants Application for Pro-

1t seems that when the General was

and waiting for something to do to pro-

Cured in the chair of mathematics, in
the University of Missouri. General
Grant, who had been disappointed in
an application for the position of Coun-
ty Surveyor at st. Louis, determined
to apply for the vacant professorship.
He wrote modest letter to the Board
of Trustees in which he stated his quail
ifcations and his needs. Another man
got the place. Ayear or two before he
died, in mentioning the fact TO Mr..
Elkins. General Grant with his usual
simplicity of manner said 81 think /

The Camel'S Revenge.

A few years ago it chanced that a
valuable camel, working an Gil mill in
Africa, was severely beaten by its driver,
who, perceiving that the camel had
treasured up the injury and was only
waiting for favorable opportunity for
revenge, kept strict watch upon the
animal. Time passed away the camel,
perceiving that it was watched, was
quiet and obedient, and the driver be-
gan to think that the beating was for
gotten, when one night after the lapse
of several months the man, who slept
on raised platform in the mill, while,
as is customary, the camel is stalled in
a corner, happening to remain awake,
observed by the bright moonlight that
when all was quiet the animal looked
cautiously around, rose softly, and
stealing toward a spot where a bundle
of clothes and burnoose, thrown care
lessly on the ground, resembled a
sleeping figure, cast itself with violence
upon them, rolling with all its weight,
and tearing them viciously with its
teeth. Satisfied that its revenge was
complete the camel was rpturning to
its corner, when the driver sat up and
spoke; and at the sound of his voice,
and perceiving the mistake it had made,
the animal was so mortified at the fail
ure and discovery of its scheme that it
dashed it's head against the wall and
died on the spot.

Early Yachting.

The pastime Of yachting apparently
dates from the time of the Stuarts, al
though, according to the researches of
the late Admiral Smyth, the Planta
nets had va hts, and termed them "es-
neccas," word, by the way, which
seems to be of doubtful derivation
However, if We desired to prove the
antiquity of yachting, we should have
to travel back much farther than the
time of the Plantagenets, and, as pre-
VIC lslv said, we can be content with
the generally accepted assertion that
yachting as pastime dates from the
time of the Stuarts. Mr.. Pepys says,
in his Naval Minutes, that the word
yacht" was unknown in England until
the Dutch, in 1860, presented vessel
to Charles H., which they termed a
yacht, and which he named Mary. In
1862 this monarch is said to have de-
signed yacht for himself, and named
her jamie. She was matched against
the Bezan, belonging to the Duke of
York, for a stake OF fl00, and the
course was from Greenwich to Graves
end and back. Pepys says "The
King lost it going, the wind being con-
trary, but saved stakes in returning.
There were divers noble persons and
lords on board, his Majesty sometimes
steering himself" The Kings craft is
said to have been "frigate-like, but
very shallow in body, having only 3
feet 6 inches draught of water. Charles
altogether built fourteen yachts, and
appears to have tested the speed of all,
as he was very fond of steering. The
largest of these yachts was the Mary
mot the Mary previously referred to-,
which was 67 feet on the water line,
with a beam of 2l feet, and draught
of water of ~ feet. The taste for
yachting gradually extended during
the reign of Anne and the Georges,
and was even taken up by Irish gentle
men; so much, indeed, did the latter
think of the pastime, that in 1920 they
established a club in Cork harbor to
promote it, and some curious chroni-
cles exist relating to the customs of
yachtsmen at that date. Yachts at this
time were common about the Solent
and Southampton waters, and an adj
vertisement in paper dated 177S of

The Abuse of Silence.

A man and wife enjoying a walk to-
gether, or teted-tete sweetened by
confidential and affectionate convrsa-
tion, is a beautiful sight before God
and man. But too often the picture IS
reversed. He saunters out with her,
careless and uninterested; scarcely dur
ing the walk uttering a word. is not
this, to say the least, great abuse o..
the science of silence?
In the hour of absence and of soli-
tude, the husband is impressed with a
sense of the amiable disposition and
demeanor of his wife. of her unwearied
endeavors to promote and perpetuate
his happiness, and of its being his
bounden duty to show, by the most un-
equivocal expressions of attachment
and of tenderness, his full appreciation
of her assiduity and faithfulness. But
too often these expressions OF approba-
tion are not forthcoming, and, with a
mistaken silence, ke shrnks from hon
oring his wife, and represses those few
words of praise which she so we'll de-
serves, and would so greatly appre-
ciate. "My master is all very well, }"
said the dog, "but ! wish he had tail
to wag when he is pleased"
"In politics, said Cavour, nothing
is so absurd as rancor." In the same
way we may say that nothing is so alb
surd in matrimony as sullen silence.
REYNOLDS, in his "Life and Times,
tells of free and easy person who
passed three festive days at the seat of
the Marquis and Marchioness of -,
without any invitation, convinced Gas
proved to be the case), that, my lord
and my lady not being on speaking
! terms, each would suspect the other
had asked him. a soft answer turns
away wrath, and when wife or hus-
band is irritated, there is nothing like
letting sub. .ect drop. Then silence
is indeed golden Blu. the silence per-
sisted In Is an instrument of deadly
torture. a wise man by his words
maketh himself beloved" To this
might be added that on certain occa-
sions a fool by his obstinate silence
maketh himself hated.
"AcC ording to Milton, Eve kept
silence in Eden to hear her husband
talk" said a gentleman TO a lady
friend, and then added in melancholy
tone, "Alas there have been no Ewes
SluCe. DecduSe, QUICKLY IeIOTIeu
the lady, there have been no husbands
worth listening to-" Certainly there are
too few men who exert themselves to
be as agreeable to their wives their
best friends) as they are to the COM
parative stranger or secret enemies
whom they meet at clubs or other
places of resort. And yet, if it is true
that ito be agreeable in our family cir
Gle is not only positive duty but ali
absolute morality" then every husband
and wife should say on their wedding
day:
To balls and routs for fame let others roam,
BE mine the happier lot TO please at home.
There is a time to speak as well as a
time to be silent, and the best time of
all for pleasant conversation is the time
of meals. We should have at least
three laughs during dinner, and every
one is bound to contribute share of
agreeable table talk, good humor. and
cheerfulness. Even from phys ologi-
cal point of view, "better is dinner of
herbs where love is (which will show
itself in dispell 'ng sullen silence) than

To the Credit of Women.

For a wonder, 1T is now the fashion
for women to be as healthy as she can.
Fresh air is admitted TO be good thing
for the complexion. No one disputes
that girl whe is an invalid can walk
five miles a day without dying of IA
tigue, and an hours canter on a good
horse is recommended as more help
full pastime than lying abed or reading
French novels. The new style in
women has not arrived bit too soon.
American women were getting to be a
worthless lot, sprightly enough in intel
lect-perhaps too sprightly- but pain
fully deficient in bodily development
and health. But they were never en-
tirely to blame. Degenerate man
seemed to like them that way-possibly
because he was in the same box him
self To the credit of woman be it said,
that she would rather be round-limbed,
strong of chest, fair of cheek and bright
of eye; and it is a notable fact that as
soon as the rising male generation took

ly, the girls promptly followed the good

and your head gets tired and wants a
rest, take newspaper, fold it up, tuck
one end down the coat collar, and let
the other project up against the back
of the head. You cannot imagine what
a rest it is, and how comfortable the
head will feel, even if the passengers

Two Kinds OF Girls.

One is the kind that appears best
abroad-the girls that are good at par
ties, rides, visits, balls, etc, and whose
chief delight is in such tn ngs The
other is the kind that appears best at
home-the kind that are useful and
cheerful in the dining-room, sick-room,
and all the precincts of home. They
differ widely in character. One is often
a torment at home, the other bless
ing; one is moth, consuming every
thing about her; the other is sun
beam, inspiring light and gladness all
around her pathway. To which of
these classes do you belong?

was three blocks down the street. Out

street the dog had again disappeared.
But why prolong these painful details?
The raising of two windows and popping
out of two heads continued all that somber

my wife ever came to recovering that dog.
The next day my wife was taken down
with a heavy cold, contracted fron

case of pneumonia, accompanied by
