All through the east 1t seems to be
tacitly understood that everybody has a
right to strike his interiors, and that it
would be objectionable presumption In
the inferior TO strike back or adopt any
more self assertive measure than edgine
away. AS a general thing in Persia
blows are given and taken with the
bland and childlike philosophy of Kismet.
The person who knows himself to be in
the wrong on some trifling occasion re-
ceives a proportionato amount of chas-
hsement meekly, as being no more than
his just desert, even though the party
who assumes the role Of ex%ecutioner be
a casual stranger, acting on the spur Of
prima facie evidence. What is the con-
Germ OF one seems to be the concern of
all; not only the party directly aggrieved,
but the onlookers also are very likely to
take a hand in cutting an evil doer. Tho
person who Is thus publicly cuffed feels
no sense OF disgrace. The whole matter
is regarded most philosophically; having
meted out punishment to an offender,
they hobnob with him again on equal
terms at once. -Thomas Stevens in New

Depressing Enects of Fear.

Mr.. CROWLEY.

On his arrival there the baby chimpan-
zee was believed to be about 8 months
old. He weighed but fifteen pounds and
was only eighteen inches tall. He was
named Crowley IA corruption Of creole).
and as he was one Of the only two chin
pansees in the United states-the other
being In Philadelphia-he made hit. He
was ct first quartered In the superintend-
ent's Office, but he evinced such q mania
for tearing up papers with his hairy
hands and wrought such havoc generally
that fine. large cage was made for him
at cost Of $500. Here he grew apace,
at by hundreds every day. Severed
scientists from England examined him.
and they all agreed that he Just fell
short Of being human. Jake" Cook be.
came his keeper and tutor and taught
him many tricks. The beast eventually
became so intelligent that he did many
little clever things Of his own, without
any instructions whatever.
He grew to the height Of 4 feet inches
and weighed 100 pounds. It is said that
he was as powerful as two men, and last
spring, when he grew morose from i'll
ness, he very nearly broke his keepers
back in tussle. The keeper, large,
powerful man, conquered, however, by
giving Crowley q well directed blow be-
tween the eyes, and Crowley was from
that time very humble. The recollection
of his being obliged to strike his pet
brings tears TO the keepers eyes when he
speaks of 1t now. On the night that
Crowley died he would not allow Jake to
leave him, and when the keeper, thinking
Crowley asleep, ventured to uptoe softly
toward the door Of the cage, the dying

four years, and haven't I taught him
everything he knew-all his little man
ners and tricks at the tableH"
Some time ago a female chimmnzee,
Kitty, they called her, was put In q sepa-
rate compartment of Crowley's cage, and
1t was intended, In the fullness OF time,
that the two should be mates. But
Crowley, who In his latter years became
very cynical, would have none of her, so
he remained bachelor.
Crowley had great, bright, sorrowful
brown eyes, that somehow looked as II
there was human soul shut In behind
there, struggling to understand what this
world was. DR.. Spitzka, who dissected
Crowley, said, after the autopsy:
'Crowleys brain was in splendid CON
dition, and many anatomists would be
unable to tell 1t from child's brain-in
fact In all essential characteristics 1t Is
an immature human brain. It shows to
me that the functions of speech and sight
were fighting for mastery and that sight
had the best Of 1t, which retarded his in
tellectual Development"

,ne ChiId,s yoice I'm singing.

Frederick S. Law, I'm Tho Voice, dwells
At length on some Of the dangers Of al
lowing children to sing In public, par
ticularly when under the care Of ignorant
or irresponsible conductors. Ono case ID
mentioned Of girl who was permitted
to sing In halls large enough TO test the
powers Of experienced artists, and who,
consequently, at the age Of 10, although
she had started out with great promise,
had no voice at all left. IN Is" says
Mr.. Law, las much of an impossibility
for child to produce full and sonorous
notes as 1t would DO tn load 1t down with
heavy weights and expect 1t to walk at
once. Many who would regard the latter
as an act Of cruelty will listen with com.
placency to o child straiDing every nerve
TO fill large room with voice that from
its nature is not intended for such use"
Mr.. Law concludes: 'The instruction
OF children. as regards the voice, should
be almost entirely negative--that Is, they
do not require teaching what to do 80
much as what not TO do. They may be
trusted TO form their tones as they please,
II they do not sing too loudly nor with
any undue effort. IL these conditions
cannot bo secured, they should not be
allowed to sing at all. Nothing Is more
painful than TO hear child struggle to
fill largo room with voice crippled
from an attempt to wrest from nature
what is not there. In no way can we find
compensation for such an exhibition. The
mind receives no pleasure, as there can be
no intellectual grasp Of the subject, while
the ear Is tortured by shrill and distorted
sounds which awaken a natural anxiety
for the child's future welfare. A healthy
child possessed of good ear Is the most
natural singer in the world. because the
most unconscious. 1t Is only when tam
pered with by those who should know
better that disastrous results arc to be
feared. "--Brooklyn Eagle.

Can Your BOy Swim?

Can your boy swimS MOI Then do not
trust him In any sort Of boat until he has
learned the art, and feels as much at home
In the water as upon dry land. You
might just as well send him out alone
into q crowded street before he had learned
to walk. He might possibly creep along
all right, and reach home alive, or some
body might pick him up and care for him.
but the chances would not be in his favor.
So In boating. the boy who cannot swim
may get along very comfortably for a
while, and not suffer from this defect in
his education, but the time will assuredly
come when he will have cause to bitterly
regret it. 1t is one of the simplest things
In the world, too. and can be learned in
three or four intelligently directed lessons,
such as can be had In any city swimming
school or from the experts in any country

that he shall first be able to swim quar-.
