Monkeys Aversion to Cruelty,

In Hindostan, where three varieties of
sacred monkeys enjoy the freedom of
every town, those four handed pensioners
often assist the police in enforcing the
riot laws by charging en- masse for the
scene of every dog fight and schoolboy
scufile. They will rescue worried cats.
and, for greater security, deposit them
on the next roof, or suppress rowdyism
in general, the stout Rhesus baboon, for
instance, being physically as well as
morally qualified to quen the aggressive
disposition of the fiercest cur.
On the platform of public warehouse
the British residents of Agra, a few years
ago, witnessed a scene which put that
character trait in even a stronger light.
A little street Arab had spread his pallet
in the shade of stack Of country pro-
duce, and had just dropped asleep, when
the proprietor of the Planters hotel
strolled up with a pet leopard that had
learned to accompany him in all his
rambles. A troop of tramp monkeys had
taken post on the opposite end of the
shed, and, like the beggar boy, seemed
to enjoy a comfortable siesta, but at
sight of the speclkled intruder the whole
gang charged along the platform like a
squadron of spahis, and, instantly form
ing a semicircle about the little sleeper,
faced the leopard with bristling names,
evidently resolved to defeat the suspected
purpose of his visit.-Felix L. Oswald,
N. D., in Popular Science Monthly.

:: STORE.

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person n greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tation of passengers or property than it
charges for like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then PATRON
iZe the railroad that offers the interior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride a less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patronized. The Missouri
Pacific Ry(Fort Scott Route)offers such in
ducements as mentioned above and a great
many more which space will not permit to
enumerate. If you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the latest
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep

A Wedding at TelOs.

In Telos wedding presents are exceed
ingiy practical, and partake chiefly Of the
nature of food to be consumed at the
wedding festivities; and toward even
ing on this day, when all the baskets of
grain had been gathered together. the
young men of the village distributed it to
be ground in the hand mills, and for the
space of two hours nothing was to be
heard in the town save the monotonous
grinding Of the two stones. and the
equally monotonous songs of the women
engaged in this occupation. 1t was nearly
dark when Peter, the bridegroom elect,
was informed that adj the -four was
ground, whereupon certain young men
of his acquaintance, with flutes, bag
pipes and Tyres, escorted him from house
to house to collect this -four in large
sacks.
At each house they tarried for little
time, the instruments played and the
young men and maidens danced curl
GUS little dance, in which one man and
one maid alone took part, at the same
time singing little love songs as they
move to and fro. From house to house
they wandered, singing and dancing all
the evening, and when the -four was col
lected they took it to Catharine's house,
where table was spread, at which the
women who had ground the grain and
the young men who had accompanied
the bridegroom were entertained. After
this meal, and when all were merry with
wine, the dancing began again, and con-
tinued well into the night; it was very
interesting and pretty to watch the inter
laced Cretan dance, the quiet, stately
singing dances, and the brilliant aero
batic feats of the leader Of the circular
dance. Thus ended the great prenuptial
ceremony of 1.-THE greater -four. Gen

A Wall Street Mans Experiment.

The bookkeeper Of Wall street bank,
a man deeply versed in psychology, en-
ploys his spare time in making practical
tests of his researches. There is hu-
morous vein in his composition, and
these tests are frequently of a laughable
nature He is firm believer in tho
theory that man magnifies his own little
troubles and will unconsciously put HIM
self out of his way to avoid things that
have no existence in point of fact. The
other day this philosopher carefully
placed sheet of blotting paper ON the
edge of desk in such way that half
the sheet hung over. The desk was in a
narrow passage that was much used by
the clerks, and the philosopher had no
end of fun watching them pass. Instead
of showing the blotting paper out OF the
way every clerk who passed would
squeeze himself against the wall in order
to avoid knocking it down. The fat
clerks had hard time of it, and one Of
them cricked his spinal column in par
ticulsrly fine acrobatic feat.-New York

New Workers are now listening to her nightly,

No better evidence Of the fact that Mary
Anderson is a born actress is given than the
following, related by her mother:
A distressing and fatal accident had oc-

rent by the sight of the unfortunate mans
wife hurrying by she was shocked to find
that her usually tender hearted daughter was

horror stricken expression on the poor wom-

She is a native Of California and was born
In Sacramento, July %, 1859. She was taken
to Louisville in 1880, was reared in the Roman
Catholic faith, and left school when she was
IA years OF age. Miss Whittier says OF Mary
Andersons life In Louisville at this time:
~ was at the time school girl and Mary
Anderson was 16 or II years of age. Her
tall, 1.-the, slender figure, lacking the round
ness to make it beautiful, and earnest face
that wore an almost moody expression Of
studious abstraction, impressed me indehbly
when first met her. On this occasion Pro-
fessor Noble Butler had taken several of his
pupils to see his protege. this young girl who
from having been student under him had
gone to New York to be under the instruction
of Vandenhoff, and now had returned to
Louisville for brief interval of rest before
pursuing her studies further.
"She had amiably signiied her willing
ness to recite for US on any evening that
Professor Butler should select for the visit,
and with good deal Of interest we looked
forward to hearing this phenomenon about
