A Monkey FolO De Sc.

Not long ago the authenticated case
of the suicide of a dog from grief at
being beaten by its master was chron-
icled, and now we read of monkey de-
stroying itself under very remarkable
circumstances. The facts Of the case,
which are positively vouched for by
correspondent writing to Paris con-
temporary from Montrichard, in the de-
partment of Loir-et-Cher, are as follows:
A learned monkey, named Bertram, was
deeply attached to its owner, who, among
other tricks, had taught it to fire q pistol
while galloping on the back of dog.
The master of the animal, it seems,
lately met with certain domestic troubles,
and, in a detected frame of mind a few
days ago, he sent bullet through his
head, death being instantaneous. The
monkey was present at the death of his
master, and probably took in every par
ticular. In any case, when doctor was
called in to see if life was extinct in the
man, he was astonished to find himself
in presence of double suicide, the
monkeys body being stretched beside
that of his master, with the revolver
clasped between its fingers. 1t is stated
that the animal picked up the pistol
after his master had blown out his
brains and initiated what he had just
seen done, sending bullet through his
head precisely as the man had DONE

Tho VOltaic Battery.

At the very beginning of the present
century Volta, stimulated by Galvani's
recent discovery of what he called 'ani-
NAL electricity" invented the "pile" and
the 'crown of cups" We now speak Of
any equivalent arrangement as a voltaic
battery. Without attempting to trace
out the path of discovery and invention
pursued by Volta, it will be sufficient for
our purpose if we make clear the gene
raj construction and action Of such an
apparatus.
If plate of zinc and similar one of
copper be nearly immersed in water con-
tanning little sui phuric acid, which may
be held in any suitable vessel, no note
worthy action will be apparent so long
as the metals do not touch; but if they
be brought in contact. or be joined by
means of a conductor, bubbles of hydro
gen gas will at once appear on the sur
face of the copper, and the zinc will
more or less rapidly dissolve to form
zinc sulphate with the acid.
If the plates be separated, and the por-
ton of the zinc which remains above
the liquid be tested with very delicate
electroscope, it will be found to be
charged with negative electricity, and in
like manner the corresponding portion of
the copper plate will be found to be
charged with positive electricity. Pro.

Some Caution Necessary, Perhaps.

Down ut tho Elks' social the other night
Luke SchooDcraft, the minstrel, told q
characteristic story. 1t was of jolly old
Irishman, who was addicted to very
free uso of the bottle, much to the dis
gust of his faithful wife. She knew that
he was ''going it, ct too fast pace and
she appealed to their priest to plll him
up. In view of the circumstances this
priest thought he was justified in employ
ing ono or two fairy tales, SO when he
met Pat on the street he called him aside
and said:
''Pat, you're drinking too hard. Now,
you know that you can depend upon
what I say, and I have no hesitancy in
telling you that if you keep on as you are
doing you will change into rat"
This awful prediction annoyed Pat
greatly, and when he went homo he told
his wife about it. OF course, she worked
it up and told him the priest wss un-
doubtedly right Pat WAS deepin thought
for somo tfne. He did hate very much
to give up his toddy, but the rat idea was
too much for him. Finally he said:
''Luk here, Bridget, av yc sec the
whiskers an tail comm an me, all 1 ask
av yo is jist to keep yer eye on the cat. y

Plenty 0f. Oil.

The fear that there would be an oil
famine in the near future has been ex-
pressed again and again; but the figures
given by The Oil City Derrick and in
dorsed by Bradstreet go to show that
the Pennsylvania and Virginia belt alone
is practically inexhaustible. So far the
yield from this tract of 2O4 square miles
has been over 34O,0OO,0OO barrels. The
estimate is that the possible future yield
will not be far from ,O0O,0OO,O00 This
estimate makes no reference to the fields
that exist IN Canada, in Colorado, Cali.
fornia and elsewhere, both at home and
abroad. The yield per square mile has
been for fifteen years 100000 barrels
There seems TO be no reason to fear that
tho oil supply will fail before its substi-
tuto' is fully established st. Louis

Tho Meanest Man in Creation.

A man In Clay, who owes us over two
ye$fs' subscription, put his paper back
in the postoffice last week marked 'sre-
fused" We have heard of many mean
men. There Is the man who used the
wart on his neck for collar button, the
one who pastufed a goat ON his grand
mothers grave, Che one who stole cop
pers from dead mans eyes, the one
who got rich by giving his five children
q nickel each to go to bed without sup
per and then stealing the nickel afterthe
children were asleep; but for pure,
downright meanness the man who will
take a paper for years, mark it "re.
fused" and then stick it back into the
postoffice, is entitled to the first pre-
tnium. .-Lineville (Ala.) Democrat.

..E PlurIbu, Upum,. ON CoInl.


Ibid you know that the legend Il
Pluribus Unum,' which has appeared ON
different United States coins, was never
authorized to be so placed by lawY' said
a numismatist. sit was first used in
that way in 1885, There was no United
States mint then, but there was private
one at Newburg, N. Y, and the motto
of the United States was first placed on
a copper coin struck at that mint. Few
collections have specimens of this coin.
They are valuable. In 1887 goldsmith
named Brasher coined piece which
was known as the $40 gold piece, and the
motto placed in this form, 'Unum E
Pluribus,' was stamped upon it. The
coin is worth today s., 900, and only four
are known to be in existence. In 1887
the motto also appeared on various copper
coins of the State of New Jersey.
"a great many of our early coins,
before there was any legal authority for
national coinage here, were made in
England. The State of Kentucky had
some peculiar copper coins which We're
minted in England in 1891 and bore the
national motto. The United States mint
was established in 1792, but the use Of
the motto on any of the gold, silver or
copper coins was not authorized or
directed by any of the provisions of the
act establishing it. The motto had not
appeared on any of our coins since 1887
until the present silver dollar was coined.
1t remained on our early gold and silver
coins until 1884, when it was omitted
from the gold coins. In 1886 it was
dropped from the silver twenty-five cent
piece and the following year from all
silver coins. philadelphia Press.
