MONKEYS Hold a Wake.

In 1879, saws Tom Donohue, night
Waterman of the Central Park menagerie
in New York, to a Herald reporter, we
had a very nice collection of monkeys;
among them were four very select ami
mails, white faced and clean shaved;
their names were Zip, Jack, Pete and
Pomp. They were Gagged together and
seemed to be of one family. Zip, how
ever, caught a bad cold which gradually
developed a sever cough; day by day his
condition grew worse until he was pro-
nounced by DR.. Conklin a consurHpt1ee-
The monkey family is subject to the same
complaints as human beings, such as con-
sumption, coughs, sore throats, etc.
Everything was done for Zip that could
be done by human hands, but he gradually
wasted away and looked piteously at
every one who sympathized with him. l
watched him closely during my night in
spections, and one evening | saw his
three mates holding a consultation over
him. One felt his pulse as carefully as a
doctor would have done, another sounded
him around the chest, while Pomp felt
his temples and sounded all around his
head. After this was carefully done
they all came in close consultation and
chartered to each other in a very serious
manner in their W language. l was
both amused and surprised at what I had
seen, and | went in and called the engi-
neer to witness the scene.
A decision was given on the case;

the patient, for they all shook their
heads; at the same time the monkeys in
the ad Joining cages also clustered around
the wires in groups as if they were in
quiring how Zip was. A few nights
rolled on in this way and Zip finally died.
| got around very 0 after his death,
and found a real wake IN progress. The
monkeys had Zip laid out in the centre
Of the cage, with the bag that he had
used TO lie on rolled under his head for a
pillow. His three companions sa,
around him looking very sad. Othe'
groups OF monkeys clustered around the
ends of their cages and chartered anC

matter that I let them have the late la

OrTyin of the Mathematical Signs,

THE sign Of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the VOID ''plus." In
making the capital letter it was made
more and more carelessly until the top
part of the p was placed near the centre,
hence the plus sign was finally reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived from
the word ''minus." The word was first
contracted to m II s. with a horizontal
slime above to indicate the contraction,
then at last the letters were omitted al
together, leaving the short line. The
multiplication sign was obtained by
changing the plus sigh into the letter x.
This was done because multiplication is
but a shorter form of addition. Division
was formerly indicated by placing the
dividend above the horizontal line and
the divisor below. In order to save space
in printing the dividend was placed to
the left and the divisorto the right, with
a simple dot in place of each. The radi
cal sign was derived from the initial let
ter of the word ''radix." The sign o.
equalito was first used in 1857 by a SHARP
mathematician, who substituted it t.
avoid repeating equal to."-Boston Cul
t1rQt0r.

THE SONG OF THE SEA.

heir world was a world Of enchaatment;
A world of luminous light
Came out with a iaring Of carmine,
From all the black spaces of night;
The music Of morn was as blitheSome
And CHEEKY as music corid be;
But all through the dawn and the daybreak
mourned for the song Of the sea.
They showed me the marvellous fowers
And fruits Of their sun-beaten lands:
They said Here are vine-tangled valleys;
Forget ye the barren white sands;
For a WEAKNESS unto the spirit
The dash of the breakers must be.
30 dwell We beside our blue waters;
Forget>the sad song OF the sea-
And | wrapped me about in the sunlight,
On the marge Of a dimpling stream,
And there in a tangle Of lilies,
/ wove me a wonderful dream,
And a song from my dreamland went float
ing
Far up where the angels must be,
But deep in It's under vibrations
heard the sweet song Of the sea.
III LHe IL" III HE iOChs al a-SilLbET,
The Prince Of the Daytime lay dead,
For the silver-white lance Of the twilight
Smote off the gold crown from his head:
And the Princess Of Night came to see him.
Her lights all about him To hang:
And a nightingale screened in the thicket
Her song To the slumbcrer sang.
And the stream from the tangle Of lilies
Came winding It's way through the sedge:
And a silyery nocturne it RIPPED
Among the tall flags ON its edge;
But its babhle | fain would have gwen
For The deep WONG sea voices lull,
And the nightingale's song would have bar
For a desolate cry Of a gull.
Their world was q world Of en~chantment
And they laughed with the laughter oil
When turned me away from its beauty
In the light Of the luminous morn:
But heard a grand voice in the distance
Instantly calling to me,
And | rose with a iubilant spirit
And followed the song Of the seq.

One of the most striking features OF
the W. G. Coup Rolling Museum Is a
wax image of Gen. Custer, representing
blood flowing from the wound In his side
and breast, bearing in the last struggle for
breath. The figure is so llfe-like and the
effect SO startling that 1t surprises every
body.
A strange legend comes to us from the
Sioux, who alone can tell the true history
of that deadly ambuscade. They say that
on the hillock whore Custer fell now
grows plant never seen there before "a
curious plant with tall, slender leaves,
curved In the exact form of sabre, with
edges so sharp as to indict keen wounds
upon unwary hands, and those who pluck
1t once soon drop It, SO strangely cold
and clammy are its leaves. 1t bears a
golden-hue, heart-shaped blossom, and In
the centre Is one small spot OF brilliant
red, like drop of blood. The Indians
regard 1t with superstitlous awe. They
call 1t "Custer's heart and cannot be In.
