The Child and the Monkey,
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
A jury in the old court house vim
dicated Organ Grinder Louis Lon
geri's monkey, of which the grand
jury had said by reason of it's being
at large, 1.-THE good people of this
city and commonwealth could not
pass and labor in the public streets
without great damage and hazard O
being bit, MANNED and torn by said
monkey and losing their lives, to the
great damage, terror and common
nuisance and to the evil example of
all Others, contrary to the form of
the act of general assembly in such
cases made and provided, and against
the peace and dignity of the COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania"
Longeri, the aged proprietor OF the
monkey, sat behind his counsel,
Thomas W. Keely. He was accom-
panied by about twenty Carpenter
street barrel organists, all of whom
own monkeys.
Mrs. Margaret Dillon, took the
stand.
"Do you know Longeri?" asked
Assistant District Attorney Boyle.
That's him." said the witness,
pointing at the defendant.
"Well, what did he dor"
"Well, on the It'll of last May he
and his monkey came on my pave
ment and he bit my little girl on the
leg"
"Who, Longeri?"
"No, the monkey"
"Well. what was the child doing?'
"She wasn't doing nothing, and he
was gathering pennies"
"Who, Longeri?"
mo, the monkey"
"Well, what did you do them"
"Why, / went into the house and
put some liquor on it,"
"On the monkey"
"No, the Leg"
"Oh! linen Wnat dld you 90!
"Why, had him arrested"
"Who, the monkey?
'No, Longeri."
"There was lot of children about
teasing the monkey, and he was tied
by a string, wasn't he?" asked Mr..
Keely.
"Yes, and it was a long string,
too"
81 think, your honor, that there is
no case here, as one offense does not
eliminate the monkey. Beside that,
he only acted in selfdefence."
Judge Fell thought there was not
enough evidence against the monkey,
and Mr.. Boyle submitted the bill to
the jury, saying: II don't think the
commonwealth has made out a case
against this monkey, gentlemen.
The jury rendered u verdict ofno
guilty.

Lots Of Fresh Air.

"That's the last time I'll call there"
remarked a fashionably dressed lady
to her escort, as they left the house of
afriend the other day.
Glow is that?"
"Because the house is SO stuffy one
would actually think that the whole
place was Theoretically sealed, SO
that no fresh air was wanted or per-
mitted to enter"
Such a state ofaffairs too often ex-
lists in many of our city homes, and
disease is naturally the result of the
unwisdom of such course. In the
majority of homes the best room is
usually kept dark, the doors shut
and the blinds pulled down. After
the departure ofthe visitors theroom
is busted, the furniture Strengthened
out and the room shut up until the
advent of another guest. When Wis
itors are not frequent, the room may
be aired and busted occasionally, but
seldom is this done often enough to
insure the room being healthful and
comfortable. Ifguests should hap
pen to announce their coming in ad-
vance, they might be certain that the
room is well aired for their reception;
but when coming without any notifi-
cation, they are ushered into a close,
stuffy room; for no matter how large
the room, just so long as it is closed
up it is sure to bestuffy. The woman
OF the house will not notice the close
ness, owing to her being indoors SO
much. There is nothing better to
test the purity of room as going in
to it directly from the fresh air. A
room to be healthful and comfortable
should he aired each day.

S., who lived in what is now Sulli-
van. was years ago a prominent citi-
sen of the town. He was engaged in
the mercantile business, and, like all
other traders of the day, he derived
d great part of his profits from the
sale OF rum. He owned a small, fast
sailing schooner, and with one man
for cook and hand, he struggled large
quantities Of liquor from the pro-
vinces of Great Britain. On one oc-
easion he had taken ON board more
than fifty puncheons of West India
rum and a quantity Of dried fish.
Early one morning as they lay at
anchor off Petit Menan, they discoy-
cred the revenue cutter close upon
them. eve are gone for it now" ex-
claimed s. to his man; "but go below
and hurry up as good breakfast as
you can, and l will try and throw the
captain of the cutter off his scent"
The officer, who was well &C.
tuainted with S., came on board.
"Well, Whist have you got?" said
he. "Rum," says s., land few fish. !"
~ don't believe it," said the cap
tain as he saw the twinkle in 8. eye
II swear have; come below and try
soms.' Nothing loath, the captain
went below, and was treated to a
good breakfast, with plenty of
good liquor. After an hours pleas
ant conversation on general subjects,
he arose to 60.
"Come," says S., Ego into the hold
and see my rum. Fvegot fifty casks"
mot 1, said the captain. you've
cracked Jokes enough on me. Catch
me again!' So off he went, and s..
saved his rum, landing it in the safe
keeping. Thus the old saw:
esprit above and spirit below;
But the spirit above is the spirit of love;
And the spirit below is the spirit of woe;
The spirit above is the spirit divine;
But the spirit below is the spirit OF wine,"
was literally fulfilled. But the COL
lectQr of customs by some means
learned that the liquor was landed
and at once went to seize it.
After fruitless search through the
store and cellars, the officers de-
matided the keys of the house.
s'Well" said 8. when the keys were
returned, "did you find the iquor?"
"No," answered the officers. 81

house." replied S., 81 should sooner

Opinion Of a New York Detective.

One OF the most skillful detectives
of this city speaks about the White
chapel murders in London thus:
"I'll wager a cooper that they are
the work of an italian assassin. The
way in which the business was done
has a Sicilian look about it, and
there are plenty of Neapolitans in
Whitechaple, some of whom are
desperadoes of that breed. You hear
of wholesale crimes of the same kind,
which they call vendettas, in the
Italian criminal reports for hundreds
of years. You can't tell what will
move one of these Sicilian assassins
to a vendetta and it often seems to
be mere lust of blood. fl were on
the trail in London, I'd try to find a
scent among the Italians ofthe slums
there. They have worked every the
DRY but this one, which Pllgivs away
fornothing."

SYMBOLISM IN NUMBERS.

One of the Unmi Nakab1e Facts in the
Gust Oms of the World.
Symbolism in numbers is an unmis-
taxable fact in the worlds literature
and in the customs of the world. There
are symbolic values to numbers which
are of well-nigh universal acceptance;
and. although there is always danger
of being misled by fanciful symbolizing
in such a realm as this, it is certainly
safe to recognize these symbolic values
about which there is hardly question.
Thus three is the Divine number, not
only in the Bible story. but in the
religions of Egypt and India. Apart
from any question of the Trinity
three represents the past, the
present and the future, and SO stands
for Him who was, and is and is to
be. Four is the world number. We
use it thus to-day when we speak of
the four quarters of the globe, the four
winds of Heaven, the four elements of
nature. Three and four combined
stand for the union or the connection
of the heavenly and the earthly, there
fore seven is the sacred number. Ten
is the measure OF mere numerical COM
pleteness, as it is understood by US
when we speak of ten-fold advan-
tage. These obvious symbolisms show
themselves again in various combina-
tons in the Bible narrative. Without
dogmatism it may be said that twelve
to represent the multiplying
Io h1, fhn
number; that it symbolizes the pecul-
lar Divine provisions for the worlds
needs. Thus it was that, in the tim e
of promised blessings, there were
twelve patriarchs, twelve tribes.
twelve apostles, twelve foundations
and gateways of the spiritual
building. Thus it is that there
are ample provisions to-day in
the plan of God for all the people of
God. Even beyond the peculiar pro-
visions within the limits of the twelve,
there are the wider provisions of the
sacred seven multiplied
by the numerically complete ten. The
Jews hold that beyond the twelve
tribes there were seventy nations in
the great week of atonement. Seventy
elders were the associates of Moses.
There were seventy members in the
Sanhedrim. Jesus sent out, not only
His twelve apostles, but also seventy
disciples. as preachers of the Gospel.
Here, again, is the idea of the fullness
of Gods provisions for the human race.
Numbers can suggest this fullness, but
numbers can not define it.-SumdGy

THE ANTARCTIC SEA.
Great Danger Confronting Explorers Who
Venture There.


Venture There.
1t appears to be probable that Prof.
Neumayr, of the Hamburg Marine OBJ
servatory, will succeed in getting a
South Polar expedition organized. It
might have been supposed that until
some greater measure of success had
attended similar adventures in the
Arctic regions the most ardent advocate
of such schemes would have doubted
the wisdom of exposing human lives and
treasure to the risk of Antarctic seas.
All the best authorities are agreed that
the difficulties to be encountered in the
south are much greater than in the
north, and the hideous stories which
gained currency after the return of the
last Arctic expedition might we'll have
sickened the boldest of this generation
sufficiently to deter them from any as
sault upon the stronghold of King
Winter in the south. In comparing
the difficulties of Arctic and Antarctic
adventure. Sir Wyville Thompson says:
I'VE can only anticipate disasters,
multiplied a hundredfold, should the
south pole ever become goal of rival
ry among nations" For various rea-
sons the great lone land under the
southern cross is more difficult of &C
cess than the north. 1t is much colder
there than in the Arctic circle. There
seems to be no such warm currents as
are to be found in the north-such, for
instance, as the Labrador current. or
that round the south coast of Spitz-
bergen Such emanations from the
torrid regions of the earth do much to
mitigate the rigors of the northern
seas at certain points, and bring about
the most striking variations of temper
allure, breaking up the ice at certain
seasons and opening the way to navi-
cation far beyond points otherwise at
tainable- Any enterprise of this kind
will, of course, be pushed on during
the summer Notwithstanding JAN
uary, February and the early
part of March, that is. But even in
the height of summer the temperature
of the air in Antarctic regions in al
ways below the freezing point of sea
water, and bitter tempestuous winds
and fogs and binding snowstorms are
all but ineessant. No arctic explorer
has ever gone beyond the bounds of
vegetation. At least lichens and sea-
weed have been found wherever north
ern navigators have penetrated. but in
the awful soItudes of the south Sir
James Ross found not the slightest
trace of vegetable life, either On the
land or in the sea, yet he never came
within less than seven hundred miles
of the south pole. The magnetic pole
has been approached within one hun
dred and fifty miles. and it seems pos
sible that important scientific results
might be obtained by covering THAT
further distance; but even this is doubt
