A Monkey as Physician.

A correspondent of the Chicago Neps writes from Central America.
 cone other incident of tho journey to Jutigalpa was the capture of two spider monkeys. The little creatures had been encountered at various points, but their shyness had enabled them to always keep out of our reach. But just before reach- ing the Guayape valley we observed quite large troop of these mimics sporting by the roadside. A quick run of our party pressed them to climb tho trees, and, contrary to our mutual agree ment one of the party fired his rife and wounded one, which commenced most piteous vail. It had been shot through the abdomen, and another bullet would have ended its sufferings, but just then its mate ran down from another part of the tres and sustained his dropping strength by holding him in her arms.
 She then examined his wound and seeing thati was bleeding profusely, pulled off with one hand a number of green leaves and carefully inserted them into the hole made by the bullet to st6nch it's flow of blood. A surgeon could not have been more careful and deliberate with a ps3ent than was this wild denizen of the foreSt with its mate. During this proceeding it uttered low, muttering sound, as though trying to assuage it's sufferings, with considera- ton and pity that looked so human. In a. few moments the wounded monkey died, and his widow monkey tried to get awsy with his dead body, but in jumping from ono limb to another fell to the ground, where the moza easily effected her capture. The almost human instinct displayed by this little creature made us ashamed of our cruelty in shooting her mate. Ina female was then taken with us to Jutigalpa where she refused all food and water, and tho morning after our arrival was found dead in her cage, it being reasonable to suppose of grief for her dead mate.

traced in bogie, bugbear, bugaboo. The Wicked Bible, printed in London in 1881, was so called because the mega. tion was omitted in the seventh com mandment, so placing an awful injunc- tion upon the faithful. This is much sought after, because it was promptly suppressed, the printer being fined $500 By Archbishop Land. The money, it is said was devoted to the purchase of supply of Greek type for the University of Oxford. The Vinegar Bible was printed in 1717 at the Clarendon Press, and is so known because the parable of the vineyard in the title to the twen- tieth chapter of St. Luke is printed
 ''Parable of the Vinegar" The Whig or Placcmaker's Bible obtained its name from aa error occurring in St. Matthew, v., g, where s'Dlessed are the placemakers" is substituted for ''peace- makers" The Treacle Bible has the passage in Jeremiah, "Is there no balm in GileadW rendered, "Is there no tre- acle in Gileada" and the Douay Roman Catholic) version has been described as the Resin Bible, because the same pas sage has the word rosin instead of trea- cle. Many years ago there existed in the Stowe library the Book of Gospels, on which the English kings down to Edward VI. took the coronation oath, with the huge brazen crucifx, which the monarchs kissed on its cover. The binding was of ponderous oak boards an in oh or so in thickness, fastened by huge leather thongs. The Printers Bible makes David pathetically com plain that printers in place of princes have ''persecuted him without cause
 The author of this tran station may have been indulging in sly hit at the intel- ligent compositor, which many authors of the prese1E would gladly re-echo.

'American girls are very bright" ob- serves the Atlanta Consultation. Mary Lee, of New York, who is now the Countess Waldersee, recently received the Emperor and Empress of Germany. She performed very gracefully the df- ficult feat of walking backwards before her imperial guests up the whole length of long staircase, managing her train with aristocratic dexterity. A woman who is able to give such a circus per- formance must find life worth living"

I seem to hear you singing in the murmur of listen to your tear drops in the rain amid the trees. There's an echo of your laughter in tho brooklet As it flows And feel your balmy breathing in the odor of the rose.
 Everywhere sweet and fair,
 In the earth and sky,
 Hints of you thrill me through -s Love me or die. The blossom by the wayside grows moro fragrant as you pass; And brighter flash the dew drops as they glimmer in the grass. The hue that tints the ruby to your curving lip replies. And from the distant stars catch the glory of your eye.
 Let my song, 1.-the and strong,
 Through your lattice fly.
 Ere the night wing its flight Love me or die. What were life without you' Q, l cannot. dare not dreaml l were WOrUul0SS aS 6 6udUUeIVu lc0A upOA oA autumn stream, Tossed upon the restless wave by every blast unkind, And driven down the turbid tide, heart broken, hopeless, blind.
 o, my sweet at your feet
 Heed my lonely cry,
 Grant relief to my grief
 Love me or die

Robins Nest.

Robins Nest Iknew three robins who lived in a nest Not very long ago, Where the summer winds that blew in the
 west
 Rocked it to and fro, Swinging and singing among the leaves Watching the busy world gathering sheaves Noting the pattern of life that weaves As the shadows come and go. Not very long ago; Then came another, so strong and free Whistling sweet and low; A robin with great, soft melting eyes Dawned into my life like glad surprise, Singing of love in a robin wise. Q Little One, yes or no? Oh, how the katydids chorusing in, Not very long ago, Sang to the stars with their musical din, Over my joy, you know, Called till the moon came over the hill, And touched all the night with a silvery
 thrill,
 
 fill,
 While the katydids sang so low. We built us a nest with loving care Not very long ago, Out in the west I'll tell you where By the beautiful rivers flow, That laughs up North in the little blue
 lakes And sings as it's winding path it takes To the shore where the gulfs green pillow
 breaks
 And the salt tides come and go. Blue was the river and hluer the skies Not very long ago, When I flew to our nest, where the three
 hills rise,
 By the rivers murmuring flow; Home lights on the hill sang Home" as I
 sped, And the river sang 'Home" in its psbbly
 bed, And the starlight gleamed in the skies over And danced in the river below. One day while winging our happy flight Not very long ago, My glad day shaded to dusty night. Dear love-" called, '.must goT' But like moonbeams that brighten the mid
 night tide, His strong love hedged me on every side, And my tired wings still in his strength
 abide,
 And the summer breezes blow. One April morn, through the white soft mist Not very long ago, A golden sunbeam lightly kissed (My story is old, know A wee ''bron birdie" that cooed in our nest, Pressed to my heart his fluttering breast The love in my life was threefold blest- Sweet was his song, and low. My Robin flies and my Robin sings Fluttering to and fro, And my heart is full of the love he brings And the songs that he sings to show That love in the soul never grows a-cold And the heart is young while the head is old, And the tale of the morning is never told, Though the long years come and go. Whistles my Robin: sThe sun looks west, Though the clouds drift to and fro;" Softly answer him, ''God knoweth best Whither our feet should go"- So we swing in our nest when the June skies
 smile And we wing our way by 'tstill waters''
 awhile, Till the path through 'tgreen pastures" leads
 over stile
 To garden quiet and low.

quick jerk on the tuft of hair to release the scalp from any clingiug particles of flesh that may still hold it in place would have on your nerves and physical system, and you will have an inkling of how it feels to be scalped. When that Indian sawed his knife around the top of my head, first sense of cold numbness pervaded my whole body. This was quickly followed by a flash of pain that started at my feet and ran like an electric shock to my brain. That sensation was but mo- mentary, but it was terrible. When the Indian tore my scalp from my head it seemed as if It must have been connect ed with cords to every part of my body. The pain that followed the cutting around the scalp had been frightful, but it was ecstasy compared to the torture that followed the tearing of it from my head. Flashes of pain shot to every nerve. My knees were drawn up almost to my chin, and the fingers of my one hand closed convulsively in the snow, those of my left hand being powerless owing to the shattered arm. That was all I remembered. When I came to was in a tent. The cavalry had come up in the meantime, and the Indians were routed. Only a few es- capped, but Black Kettle was among the few.'
 "Sanbertson lay for weeks in the Government Hospital at Fort Laramie perfectly helpless and suffering untold agony. He finally recovered, and in the meantime his term of enlistment ex- pired. He had no desire to re-enter the service, and General Custer jocularly remarked to him that he made mistake in quitting the service. For think said the General thow surprised and disgusted some Indian might be, if you should stay with us and happen to fall in his hands when he went to raise your hair to find that some one had been there before him. I saw Sanbertson several years afterward, and the same pale-red, flat, round, bare spot was on top of his head, showing where his scalp had been torn away, as had seen it when he left the h capital. He said that it was extremely tender, and in damp or cold weather was very painful. --Nc,o Fork Times.

THE BUILDING BOOM.
Ten Millions Of Dollars Spent
In Improvements.
LIST OF STRUCTURES ERECTED
What the Architects Have Done
During the Year Just
Completed.

Building operations in Los Angeles
during the past year have been very ex-
tensive, and the sound of the hammer
has been heard on every side ever since
the first day of the year. There has been
hardly block in the city which has not
witnessed an improvement in the shape
of a building of some kind. There have
been piles of mortar on the street corners
and in the middle OF the blocks, OBJ
structing the free passage OF the side
walks, but the citizens have not minded
the trouble of walking around, for they
knew that each pile meant added beauty
to the city. 1t is perhaps impossible to
get statement of the exact amount ex-
pended in buildings during the year, for
the reason that some have been built
without the assistance of architects; but
list OF all buildings constructed under
the supervision OF architects is given
below:
