success. 1t occurred to his keeper
(since sweeping Mr.. Crowley's cage and
keeping 1t clean was no little TROUBLED
that Mr.. Crowley might be trained to do
this for himself. So broom was
brought and lessons were given
in its use. But, at the end of
a whole course, he still persisted
in using the broom only on his keeper,
always taking hold of it by the wrong
end. Another trait which he had in
common with some children was that,
when work of any kind was really go
ing on, no one could induce him to take
in it more active part than to sit by
and look on. If there were thought of
apprenticing him to trade, he'd have
made a very fair plumber.
Wonderful as was Mr.. Crowley in
most things, astonishing as were his
feats on the flying trapeZe. the chief at
traction was to see him eat. Not that
he ate so much, or so awkwardly, but
because of the excellence of his table
manners. Some are born to knife and
fork, other achieve knives and forks
but this monkey had knife and fork
thrust upon him. He certainly was not
born with silver spoon in his mouth,
nor with napkin in his hand. 1t is not
sure that even the missionaries and
ministers-resident of Liberia have such
luXurieS. Yet Mr.. Crowley used them
all as though familiar with them from
the cradle.
Mr.. Crowley, not long ago, seized his
keeper and bit his arm. This is not the
way in which a gentleman "takes
friend by the ARM" and of this Mr..
Crowley was made aware by box on
the ear which sent him
ROWLING INTO A CORNER,
where he boo-hOOed like a mortified
child, and seemed to repent of his i'm
politenesS. Speedy repentance usually
comes with speedy punishment, and Mr..
Crowley never again attempted to
monkey with so prompta discipline
rian. Mr.. Crowley was, no doubt,
celebrated character and a favOrite
among those who knew him, but he
always retained that uncertainties that
has made monkeys dangerous since
they first were introduced into civilized
countries. At his death he was a we'll
developed monkey. He weighed 100
pounds and measured four feet and
nine inches without his stockings. The
Museum of Natural History has taken
his body for preservation.

Mr.. Crowley is dead. The dispatches
have announced his demise and the
naturalistS have draped their museums
in the garb of mourning because of the
departure of this prince of anthrOpOids,
but he is gone, and neither mourn
ing nor regret will bring him back.
Really, 1t is great pity that he
has passed away at so youthful an age,
because Mr.. Crowley was a wonder in
his line, and he offered to scientists, evO-
lutionists and naturalists an Opportun-
ity they have never before had of study
ing the nature of beasts of his kind and
determining the probable relation they
bear to the human family. and perhaps
the opportunity for settling this veXed
question.
A rather ingenious gentleman named
Darwin made up his mind after a deal
of thinking, that the first man was a
monkey. Perhaps Mr.. Darwin is right.
but one might be more sure about it
if a few familypOrtraitS had been handed
down, or if Mr.. Crowley had lived
long enough to give the disciples Mr..
Darwin has left, an opportunity to COM
municate ntelligently with him and
learn from him the traditions of his or
perhaps our family.
MIR. CROWLEY WAS NOT A RESIDENT
of New York for long. He couldn't
stand the winters and bOb-tailed cars of
that great metropolis. He was brought
to this country in June, 1881, as a first
cabin passenger on a White Star
steamer by Mr.. w. II. Smyth,
who was then United States
Minister to Liberia. 1t is the
custom with the LiberianS to bring
ivory and other articles to the depart
ing steamers for sale. Just as Mr..
Smyth was embarking with his wife
and daughter, he discovered a
native woman with what he sup
posed was a babe, nursing at her
breast. Something curious about the
Infants appearance attracted Mr..
spectiOn he found that instead of a
child the sucking was chimpanZee.
Mr.. Smith purchased the little animal,
and bringing him to this country, pre-
sented him to the park department of
New York, through Supt. COnklin.
On his arrival here the baby chin
panZee (anthTOpOlOgically known as of
the species troglOdytes, or eave-dwel-
lerS) was believed to be about 9
months old. He weighed bu- fifteen
pounds, and was only eighteen inches
tall. Mr.. Conklin carried HIM from the
steamer, buttOned up in his coat. The
Park department gladly welcomed the
little immigrant, and, after defraying
the expenses of his voyage and journey
from Liberia (abOut Sl25). committed
him to the exclusive charge of Jacob
Cooke.
AT first the Chimp" as he was called
for short, was placed in the monkey
cage. Then he was allowed to go about
in the trees. He grew rapidly, how
ever, and developed such intelligence
that he was given especial quarters on
the second story of the arsenal building.
IN HIS EARLY TRAINING
and the excellent influences by which
he was surrounded in Liberia, are
probably found an explanation of his
good behavior, and of the

CROWLEY AT PLAY.
readiness with which the look to tracts,
school books-or anything else he could
easily master and tear to pieces.
1t may be that from receiving"
with his miniSter-TeSident friend Mr..
Crowley got into his habit of shaking
hands. He would put out his great,
hairy paw to every one who visited his
cage, aud if one did not respond at
once to this hoSpitable invitation to
come in, he tried to pull the visitor
through the bars, which, fortunately,
were so close together that it was not
necessary to become more intimate with
his mOnkeyShip than one wished.
This monkey was interesting aside
from the interest that his peculiarities
attracted. Science would put him down
as an ape. He was an ape, but not a
common one. He was of the eXtraOrdi-
nary species, and while he
was distinct from the ordinary
kind it was not that alone, but because
he was higher species of the monkey
type, that Mr.. Crowley has been cele-
bTated. He was remarkably bright
monkey. Mr.. Crowley was known
as a distinguished person in his
day, and his personality and manner
isms have been the subject of much
comment.
THE NATURE OF THE BEAST
was his interesting characteristic, how
ever. He was not dignited in his man
her. So much of his time was spent in
turning s0merSets," that his quarters,
like those of one of England'S great
dukes, might be called somerset

trapeZe, one might have thought him a
member of Barnum's circus, or of the

times he curled himself up on the
child. Mr.. Crowley had these
stomach-aches SO often that some
thought him very human, indeed; and
If he had been small boy no doubt he
would have used them many time as
an excuse for staying away from school.
But ii was seldom that he could not eat
when given anything good. Last win
ter, when he had pneumonia, he lost
his appetite entirely; and it was touch
ing TO see the look Of reprOach he cast
on a man who offered him some hot
house grapes.
Mr.. CroWly recovered from that sick
ness, but perhaps he owed his speedy
recovery 10 his never refusing to take
his medicine. When it was brought to
him he never complained, nor said he
wouldn't take it. On the contrary, he
took it at Once-in his eager, out
stretched hand-smell of it with a sub
missive air, then threw it straight at the
attendant who stood by with tear.

One of the great comforts of Mr..
CrOwley's life, perhaps the main thing
that recOnciled him to being shut in
doors when the weather was fine
enough to play out, was piling up saw
dust. After long resting of his head
on his hands, apparently in deep study,
he would suddenly jump up as though
thought had struck him, retire to q
corner Of his cage, and there pile up
sawdust with great pains and pre-

THE PROBLEM OF SEX.
A Doctor Talks Lsarnedly About the
Babies.
A FEW PUZZLING FACTS.
Why Are Some Born Boys While
b Others Are Born
i ~ Girls?

Chicago Herald.
1.-THE most interesting of studies are
babies,' said DR.. Childs, the famous ac-
coucheur. 81 am aware of the fact that
everybody doesn't agree with me.
Bachelors don't, for instance. Again,
the poet says: The proper study OF
mankind is man, And others will be
found to maintain that woman is the
notwithstanding subject to investigate.
But as for woman herself, surely she
will side with me, in my dictum. Now,
as for babies, it has often struck me
that the question of their sex is a phys
biological mystery which awaits solu-
ton"
"What do you mean by that, dOctor?"
interjected the reporter.
.'Well. I'll try to make my meaning a
little palmer. There are certain things
taken IN connection with the sex OF
babies which are as yet unsolved riddles
to science. The fact itself, above all,
why one baby is born girl and an
other boy has never yet been salts
factorily explained. All that has been
said on the subject by Psychologists,
physicians, specialists, and others has
been either in the nature of mere sur
misses and hypothesis or else arrant
nonsense. Then think how much SUI
perstition there is connected with this
very matter. Why, old and young
women are full of it. But that wasn't
so much what was referring to. No,
sir. There are other questions to an
swer. Why is it, for example, that in
one country more males than females
are born. while in others the reverse is
the case? Why is it that this is also
true of certain towns, villages, even
wards? Why is it that during certain
months the female births outnumber
the male ones, while during other
months it is not SOP"

Quickly then this bird of heaven

Quickly then this bird of heaven
kindled fire among the branches;
Soon the flames are famed by north winds
And the east winds lend their forces,
Burn the trees of all descriptions,
Burn them all to dust and ashes,
Only is the birch left standing.
Wainamoinen, wise and ancient,
Brings his magic grains of barley,
Brings he forth his seven seed-grains,
Brings them from his trusty pouches,
Fashioned from the skin Of squirrel,
Some were made from skin Of marten;
Thence to SOW his seed he hastens,
Hastes the barley grains to scatter,
Speaks unto himself these measures:
II the seeds of life am sowing,
Sowing through my open fingers,
From the hand of my Creator,
In this soil enriched with ashes,
In this soil to sprout and flourish.
Ancientmother, thou that Invest
Far below the earth and ocean,
Mother of the fields and forests,
Bring the rich soil to producing,
Bring the seed-grains to the sprouting,
That the barley well may flourish.
Never will the earth unaided
Yield the ripe, nutritious barley,
Never will her force be wanting
If the givers give assistance,
II the givers grace the sowing,
Grace the daughters of creation.
Rise, Earth, from out thy slumber,
From the Sunderland of ages,
Let the barley-grains be sprouting,
Let the blades themselves be starting,
Let the verdant stalks be rising,
Let the ears themselves be growing,
And hundredfold producing.
From my blowing ana my sowing,
From my skill and honest labor,
Ukko, thou, o God, up yonder.
Thou, o Father of the heavens,
Thou that Invest high in Ether,
Curbest all the cloud of Heaven,
Holdest in the air thy counsel,
From the East dispatch a cloudlet,
From the Northeast send a rain-cloud,
From the West another send u.s.
From the Northwest still another
Quickly from the South warm clond,
That the rain may fall from Heaven.
That the clouds may drop their honey
That the ears may fill and ripen.
That the barley fields may rustle.''
Tlereupon benignant Ukko,
Ukko, father of the heavens,
Held his counsel in the cloud place,
He'd good cousel in the Ether;
From the East he sent cloudlet.
From the Northeast sent rain-cloud,
From the West another sent he,
From the Northwest still another,
Quickly from the South warm cloud,
Joined in seams the clouds together,
Sewed together all their edges,
Grasped the cloud and hurled it earthward.
Quick the rain-cloud drops her honey,
Quick the rain-drops fall from Heaven,
That the ears may quickly ripen,
That the barley crop may rustic.
Straightway grow the seeds of barley,
From the germ the blade unfolding,
Richly cOlored cart arising,
From the rich soil of the fallOw,
From the work of Wainamoinen.
