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
scuf1e. They will rescue worried cats,
and, for greater security, deposit them
on tho next roof, or suppress rowdyism
in general, the stout Rhesus balloon, for
instance, being physically as well as
morally qualified to quell the aggressive
disposition of the fercest cur.
On the platform of q public warehouse
the British residents of Agra, few years
ago, witnessed 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
he proprietor Of the, Planters hotel
strolled up with pet leopard that had
learned to accompany him in all his
rambIc5. A troop Of tramp monkeys had
taken post on the opposite end of the
shed, and, like the beggar boy, seemed
to enjoy comfortable siesta, but at
sight of the speckled intruder the whole
gang charged along the platform like a
squadron of spahis, and, instantly FORM
ing a semicirc1e about the little sleeper,
faced the leopard with bristling names,
evidently resolved to defeat the suspected
purpose of his visit.-Felix L. Oswald,
II. D., in Popular Science Monthly.

The Production of Petroleum.

In the Revue de Deux Mondes NJ. de
Tchihatchef, whom it would probably
be safe to take for Russian, has strik
ing article on the sudden rise of Russia
as II competitor of the United States in
production of kerosene. Some abate-
ment may properly be made from his
confident predictions on account OF the
unconcyuled partisan bias with which he
writes; and his figures leave something
to be desired on the score of entire self
consistency and rocCntncSS, but what he
has to say is nevertheless we'll worth the
attention of our oil producers. lie makes
it evident, in the first place, that the
only rival of the United States at present
in sight is Russia. Following late
French estimate of the worlds produc-
ton of petroleum, putting tho total at
100000, 900 hcctoliters, it appears that
the United States furnish Cd, OOO,0 CO,
Russia 81, 600, 900, and all other countries
only ii. OOO,O00 In fact, while deposits
of oil have been found in many parts of
the carth-as in Burmah, China, Persia,
Egypt, New Zealand and most of the
European countries-their extent is so
limited and difficult of operation so
great that the race has narrowed down
70 the two contestants named.
The principal oil fields OF Russia are
found within a limited territory. The
famous wells are almost all situated in
the peninsula Of Aspheron, which runs
out into the Caspian sea at a point not
far from the southern Russian boundary.
Baku is the port whence shipments are
made. The great natural advantages of
the Baku field are the compact terri
tory to be worked, the small depth of
the wells, and their great steadiness of
flow. The whole area worked does not
exceed 1 100 square miles. Set this over
against the area estimated for the United
States - 81, 24O square miles - and
the richness of the Russian wells
which produce at least one-third
as much as those of the United
States, will be at once perceived.
The depth of the wells runs from 12O to
$40 feet. One famous well is but thirty
three feet deep, yet out of it the oil Jets
up to the height of 246 feet. N. de
Tchihatchef asserts also that the average
flow in the Baku region is 50, 600 pounds
per day, as against 25,S0O in the United
States.-New York Times.

POct-StatiStiCian.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson is probably the
only man living who is able to approach
figures with 4 poet soul, and make them
sing bright, hopeful tune at will. His
cheerful fancy has tackled tLo doIeful
problem of poverty recently. 1t has
added up long columns Of figures, turned
them inside out and run them over cross
wise, and drawn from them the most
blooming conclusions possible. For in
stance, the actual productive capital of
the country in 1880 was $4,000, 900, 900,
and each man, woman and child had an
average of 55 cents day to buy things
with, but now the taxes have gone down
from to per cent. in ratio to product
and the prices Of the necessarics of life
for the past five or six years have been
substantially what they were in 1850,
and consequently people now have 60
cents day to buy with where they had
IS cents in 1880. Therefore, let us be
happy. Oh. yes, let us be happy

A r1anicure's Queer Experience.

We have some very queer experiences
in our trade. We could not help it.
But the strangest one came under my
notice quite recently. A tall, splendldly
formed woman came in to have her
"hands fixed" and while awaiting her
turn attracted great attention by her ex-
IRENE beauty, which was Of the creamy,
oriental style. Dazzlingly white teeth
and great, slumberOus eyes softened an
otherwise too coarse cast of features.
But her toilet! That was superb, in such
quiet elegance and taste. AS soon as pos
sible fastened to attend to her, but
other customers having come in in the
meantime, she expressed a decided
dissemination to have her hands arranged
until the rooms were vacated. told
her that would, perhaps, be notfor hours,
but if she preferred would attend to the
hand dressing in an alcove, which was
curtained off at the extreme end OF the
room. TO this she consented, and when
my toilet articles were ready she drew
off her gloves. What was my surprise
to see a coal-black hand, ebony in flesh.
She briefly explained she was a negro
or deep mulatto, from New Orleans. By
every art of the face decorator and washes
she had become Whitened as l saw her,
but her hands were more difficult to man.

opportunity. She desired me to mani

she would have her maid arrange the

she left in few moments closely gloved
and saw her enter her carriage. Sub
sequently I learned she possessed i'm.
mense wealth, inherited, too. A very
good, but vain woman, owning every
thing that she wished except what she
most desired, white skin, and this she
got by artitice and wealth.-Manicure in

PuSiliSm in Texas.

For real, downright originality, COM
mend one to Texas. Texas is not afraid
to say open and aboveboard, officially
at that, that she goes in for the manly
art of prize fighting. The people Of
other states might be dying to say so
too, but they would have regard for the
conventionalitics and be silent. Just be-
fore the Sullivan-Kilrain prize fight the
Texas legislature passed this unique IL
cense law:
For every fight between man and man, or be-
tween men and bulls, or between dogs and bulls,
or between bears and dogs, or between bulls and
any other animals, or between dogs and dogs
$500 for each performance
The Dallas Times says in so many
words that the prize fighting license was
put in to give the champions opportuni-
ty to have their little brush in the Lone
Star state. Would you Prize fight?
Texas is your place.

Poetry in the NeEspapcrs.

There arc comparatively few weekly
papers in the country that pay for poetry.
One can almost count them on ones fin
gers. These papers require that Contri-
buttons shall reach !; certain standard of
excellence, and even then the poems
must be ''timely." 1t is singular that
papers that pay nothing at all get very
excellent work. I have known poems
rejected BY the ''pay" journals to date
an almost worldwide reputation from
their publication in the gratuitous col
umn.
The leading magazines pay good prices
for poetry, but much that they publish is
far inferior, as poetry, to that which ap-
pears in the weekly press at scantier
rates. The most valued contributor sell
dom Gets more than three poems a year
into the magazines, and these, paid for,
say, st il2e rate Of $50 each, which is q
good price, do not prove q bonanza.
Writers OF newspaper poetry fall into
ruts, which, seemingly, unfit them for
better work. One sees but seldom in the
great magazines the names Of poets who
appear almost weekly elsewhere. The
young writer, who has but q frail hold
on the paying papers, finds that he sends
in too much poetry, and too often; and
when, he has oyercrowded one pigeon
hole Of the editorial desk, his occupation
languishes. Editors, as rule, will ac-
cept Just SO much Of one authors work,
and writers learn, by experience, that
they must not milk the cow too often

Bcsant's Rules for Writers.

Mr.. Bcsant formulatcs eleven rules
which must be constantly kept in mind
by those who would worthily follow the
art of fiction. These eleven rules-the
endecalo2ue, as one might call them, of
the art of fiction-are as follows:
/. Practice writing something original
every day.
2. Cultivate the habit Of observation.
g. Work regularly at certain hours.
T. Read no rubbish.
s. Aim at the formation Of style.
G. Endeavor to be dramatic.
T. A great clement of dramatic skill is
selection.
s. Avoid the sin of writing about a
character.
8. Never attempt to describe any kind
of life except that with which you are
familiar.
10. Learn as much as you can about
men and women.
II. For the sake of forming a good
natural style and acquiring command of
language write poetry.-Pall Mall Ga

Railroads on Stills.

It is to be hoped the people of St.
Louis will consider long and we'll before
they finally conclude that their new ele-
waited railway shall be set upon trestle
work and run through the streets. The
scaffolding street railway is, as some one
has said, merely q makeshift at best, and
must sooner or later give place to some
thing better and more substantial. The
something better and more substantial is
the solid road bed through the middle of
the blocks, AMI permitting real rapid
transit, which the trestlework railway
does not and never can do If the trains
that are perche,i upon stills should at
tempt to run at anything like the speed
of train having 4 solid road bed the
whole rickety structure would go tum-
bling to the ground. Then, too, the
worst possible nuisance to street is the
dirt and darkness of these silt railways.
The solid road bed will cost more to
start, but will DC permanent. In the
western cities, where real estate is not
yet worth as MANY gold dollars to the
square foot as will cover it's surface, the
permanent railway will not he too ex-
pensive to build Better start right in

rescue and saved him from striking a
woman. He denies having said
anything that would damage her
character. Mrs. Jackson keeps a small

to protect her fair name both on account OF

years old. She is not handsome woman
or one who would attract special attention
on account Of face or form, but is not bad
looking. Her only regret is that she did
not have heavier weapon. Perry says she
also had knife in her hand but she denies
this statement.
