pick up the coin and then told to
fetch it. This usually finishes the
education of the ordinary handor-
gan monkey. It has received all
the instruction necessary for prac-
teal financial purposes, and is put
to work right away"
"But some monkeys take higher
degrees, do they not?"
eyes, a few; but rarely is mon
key educated to do the tricks now
a-days which were taught to them
ten years ago. It was common
thing in the streets of New York at
that time to see monkey perform
ing on wooden pedestal in the
street. These accomplishments of
the monkeys are fast disappearing.
But the little animals would learn
just as quickly now as they did
then if put to it. To teach a mon
key to put on and take off hat the
hat is first placed on it's head and
then taken off and then replaced by
the master,
GUIDING THE MONKEYS HAND
By taking hold of it's arms, accom-
panying the two movements by
separate commands and an occa-
sional pinch. Practice soon makes
the animal perfect in these move
ments. During all these lessons he
has been dressed and has become
accustomed to wearing clothes"
"How is he taught TO walk upon
his hind lcgs?"
"The hands, or fore feet, are fast
ened to its back. His body is then
raised to a standing posture by
means of the string fastened to the
collar. The same impulse of avoid
ing which caused the animal to
come when called is the motive in
this instance. When the animal
has become accustomed to stand
ing, the hands are released. When
once he is accustomed to walking
upright, it is an easy matter to teach
the animal to walk a tight-rope. In
fact, owing to the formation of its
feet, the monkey finds it very easy
to dance on the daring slack-wirc!
The power to preserve his balance
is born in him, and he is really
quite in his element on the rope.
While walking about it is an easy
matter to teach him how to dance.
By continual repetition the animal
soon learns how to ring bell,
strike the cymbals and turn the
crank of small organ"
The animal is taught to shoot
gun by gradually making it ac-
quainted with the noise of an ex-
plosion. This is done by first ex-
ploding percussion caps and then
light charges at distance from the
animal, gradually bringing the an
imal nearer. In this manner the
animal soon becomes Indifferent to
the noise and will hold the gun with
perfect fearlessness. The fingers of
the animals left hand are then
placed firmly on the trigger and the
knuckles are given a sharp rap,
which explodes the powder. In a
very short time the animal will pull
the trigger at the motion of stick.

A Democratic Postmaster's Free-and
Easy Letter to the President.

Mt. CARMEL, ILL.,, June 7, 1889.
To Hon. B. Harrison, President, do.
| SIR: By the grace of God ane
Grover Cleveland l am postmaster
at Mt. Carmel. My official tern
will expire January 20, 1890. II
addition to editing the mails of this
city, am also the editor of the Mt
Carmel Register, a live, local, dem
ocratic newspaper, established in
1889, and published at 1925 year
cash in advance; discount of &c
per cent to ministers and presi.
dents.
While the Office has agreed with
me, and / have, in the main, agreed
with the Office, and while l might
reasonably entertain the hope OF
holding on for eight months longer,
yet feel it my duty to tender you
my resignation.
Being a democrat, / have preached
that ''to the victors belong the
spoils." feel disposed to practice
that which l preach.
Your immediate predecessor hoped
to build up the party by keeping
the opposition in Office. You are
probably aware, if you are at all
familiar with the vocabulary of true
and trite sayings, that his name is
now Dennis.
l am moved further to tender you
my resignation because of the anx-
iety of u barnyard full of patriots
to succeed me. / believe that a
tariff is tax. They do not. There
fore they are of your own kith and
kindred, and he who provides not
for his own household is worse than
an infdel. / am told that you are
not built that way.
But to resume the thread of my
discourse The boys who are anx-
ious to be my successor are very
hungry; they have been feeding on
shucks and icicles for four long
weary years, the official calf is fat,
and they yearn to taste its tender
joints. They fought (among them
selves) bled (at the nose), and are
willing to die for the G. 0. p. When
I asserted that you were the China
mans candidate, and ale rat-tail
soup with chop-sticks, they swore
by Dudley and Foster that it was
a campaign canard, and threat
ened to detail blocks of five to fry
the fat out of me. Fortunately for
me their threats were never car
ried into execution. They carried
torches, drank with the coons, sang
"Grandpa's hat will just fit Benny"
and did divers and many foolish
things, none of which would they
have been guilty of doing had they
not scented an aroma of postoffice
on the crisp morning air. And the
peans of praise which they sounded
when it became evident that you
''had got there, Eli,' will never be
q Sahara in my memory.
For these and other reasons, un-
necessary to mention, l tender you
my resignation, with the hope that
my successor will be animated by
similar spirit in 1893. If he is, |
your democratic successor will be
spared the painful necessity of
turning the rascals out"
/ am respectfully yours,
FRANK W. HAvILL, P. NJ.

SAFETY FROM LION HUNTERS.

"How can / become q lion?"
must sometimes have been the
query of some man or woman anx-
ious for social fame. There is no
way of achieving such high posi-
ton. Some men have attained this
pinnacle of existence simply by
letting their hair grow long-that

Of all roads to fame. Others have
done SO by writing books that no.

is not difficult, for unintelligible
literature does not require any rare
gifts of mind. Denunciation of the
Ten Commandments was at one
time a sure card, but it has been
trumped by the people who 60 about
objecting to all principles OF moral
ity-Jewish, Greek, Roman, or me-

said that property was robbery is
now felt to be rather old-fashionel,
for he can find apologists for theft
and palliators of midnight crime
high in the world of politics, FASH
ion, literature and art. Nor can
new views as to temporary wedlock
and free divorce have any very
startling effects when we have
among US persons who objected
altogether to marriage and repudi-
ate parental care. We are not quite
sure, however, that modern difficult
ties in the way Of would-be lions
are to be regretted even from their
point of view. 1t is fine thing to
be taken up by society, asked out,
petted, made the center Of many
groups, invited to roar and fed well
all this must be delicious while it
lasts but it never does last. The

everybody ran after in 1887. One
almost forgets what he had done.

of Lucrezia Borgia? Was his novel
too shocking for Nude, or too
heterodox for Smith? Had he in

A Remedy for Snoring.

Only the man or woman chained
to that rest-destroying angel, a
snoring partner, can appreciate its
sinfulness. The wicked emotions
aroused in the soul of the sufferer
against the sleeper cannot be trans
ferred to paper. Could a man
or woman preserve their night
thoughts of the innocent offender
during the entire twenty-four hours,
married life would be a bleak, tree.
less, unwatered waste. For this
sort of affection, if made public, a
man or woman gets only the same
class of sympathy accorded to ma
laria-a grinning THAT'S too bad" :"
There is a remedy for ague; qui-
nine is bitter, but it breaks up chills.
There is a remedy for snoring, and
that is bitter, too. Scientists have
discovered that snorers are invari-
ably great laughers and takers, who
exist principally with their mouths
wide open, thereby clogging the
breathing apparatus with dust and
roughening the delicate cords by
contact with crude air. To these
and loquacious sleep
killers science says: "Shut up;
keep your mouth closed. Better
deprive, the world of your cackle
and chatter than turn honey into
gall and make marriage a failure"

A Great RAILROAD.

Not long ago Mr.. George H. Daniels, the
general passenger agent of the New York
Central G. Hudson River Railroad, In ex-
tending an invitation to foreigners to visit
this country, directed their attention to
the fact that the United States of
America is the greatest country on
earth, peopled with sixty million OF the
most civilized and enterprising people on
the globe; that the New York Central
Railroad is the greatest railroad on
world; that it started from the largest city
on the continent, passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region, touching
the largest cities In the interior; is the
great trunk line and direct route to that
great cataract, Niagara Falls, and that in
all respects it reveals more Of the resources
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
dltiOns than any other route. There
is much in the above not only for
under favorable conditions, but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
Y ork Central q Hudson River Railroad is
the OutgrOWth of a luxurious and prosper
Gus civilization and one of its greatest en-
cheering triumphs. AS is well known it
is the only line from the west to New York
that lands its passengers in that city
without fCrrying them across the North
River Its spacious and magnificent
station in the heart of the city has
been for years not only the pride of
| New York, but lasting monument to the
foresighted iberality and enterprise of that
great organizer and founder of the New
| York Central & Hudson River Railroad sys-
! tenn, Commodore Vanderbilt. The limited
| trains of this line are the finest in the
| world, and it's general accommodations for
| the travelling public are only known and APP
| have been over the line and enjoyed them.

One cent is a small matteri Yes,
but when added to the receipt for each
pound of butter or meat, each quart of
berries or milk. through the year, it
is little thing that tells. Added to
price it is SO much gain, so much nel
profit. The first cost must come out
of the price, whether it be large or
small; the cost being covered. every
cent extra is so much clear. Isn't it.
then, wise to pick and pack. and to
raise only irst-class products, that the
extra price may be secured?
1t requires but little experience to
discover that the same kinds OF crops
can not be grown on the same ground
for many years in succession without
detriment. Plants of the same family
should not be planted to succeed each
other. Plants which occupy the
ground for a number of years, such as
rhubarb and asparagus. should sue
coed annual plants. Crops grown for
heads, such as cabbage, caulifower,
etc, should be succeeded by crops
grown for their bulbs or roots.
Plant Strawberries in the spring
Fall paintings are liable to freeze out,
and they will not bear a crop the en-
suing spring, and summer paintings
require more care and skill than the
ordinary farmer is likely to bestow.
Strawberry plants can be set in April
without losing one in a hundred if
proper care is taken in putting them
out. They should not be allowed to
fruit the first spring, as they will not
be sufficiently rooted, and it will reduce
their vitality too much; besides the
fruit will be inferior and dirty.-Coun-
try Gentleman.
Many farmers cling tenaciously to
the idea that corn makes the hog. "
Corn is a very necessary article in the

thin-jowled, flabby, cadaverous looking

The Acknowledgements Of Errors.

1t is very easy 30 be at fault either will
fully or Internationally. 1t is very easy TO
find an excuse for ones self when ones
fault is pointed out 1t is not very easy for
one to see that he is at fault when he is
told of the fact. Nor is it very easy for ono
to acknowledge frankly that he has been at
fault without proffering an excuse for him
self when he is told by another that he has
been so. There is nothing more natural
than for a man to be in error on almost any
point, and to see why he was SO. There is
nothing nobIer than for a man to see that
he has been in error, and to say so without
q word OF excuse for himself What a pity
It is that while so many men are constants
" falling into error in their course, so few
of them have the nobleness to perceive
their errors and to confess them without
palliation as often as they have an oppor-
tuntuy OF doing sos. s. Times.
