The te acher agreed with Mr.. Daniels
concerning the lessons that the children
were supposed to learn in a contest
where so much depended on their own
honor, so Stephen was compelled to
take back seat on the night Of the en-
tertainment. II was pretty hard TO sit
there and listen to so many cor mon
place essays, when he knew that the
one in his coat-pocket was so much
better; but he f 1t that his punishment
was just, and he tried to bear it as
bravey as possible. Gordon won the
prize, aud when he was called up to re-
ceive it, Mr.. Lenox took the oppcr-
tunity TO compliment him not only on
his production, but on the reputation
he had gained for diligence, truthful
ness and honesty. He looked very red
and awkward while the gentle man was
speaking, and afterwards, when almost
everybody in the house came up to
shake his hand and congratulate him,

its way already into the depths of his

found that Aunt Nancy had been so
well pleased with his success as to cele-
brate the occasion by inve sting a ten

Monkey Talk.

The several species of lower animals
have commonly been credited with
language of their own; and now Pro-
fessor r. L. Garner has not only estab-
lished in scientific manner that mon
keys talk to one another, but has
actually acquired a smattering of the
simian tongue. After years of assid-
uous study of monkt VS. at tie geological
collections of New York, Philadelphia,
Cincinnati and Chicago, Professor Gar
ner at length hit upon the device of
employing the photograph to record
the sounds made by one monkey in
communication with another. A pair
of monkeys, which had been kept in
one cage, were separated and placed in
different rooms. A photograph was
placed near the female, and her talk "
duly recorded on the CYLINDER The
photograph was then taken into the
room with the male, and made to repeat
the sounds, which he manifestlv recog-
nized as made by his mate. His" talk"
was then recorded, and being reported
by the instrument, was duly recognized
by the female. Thus, as Professor
Garner points out in the NeU Rerie,u,
where he reports these experiments,
for the first time in the history of
philology, the smian tongue was re-
duced to record" From this first step
progress was rapid. Other phono-
graphic records were made, and by
studying these sounds, repeating them
over and over, and finally mastering
them, Professor Garner was prepared
for addressing monkey in the mon.
boy 1ay Tnlx
near the cage of capuchin monkey,
the professor uttered the word which
he had translated "milk." AT the first
utterance he caught the monkeys at
tention; and the word being repeated
again and again, the monkey spoke it in
answer, and turned to the pan kept in
the cage for him to drink from, and
finally brought the pan close up to the
bars, repeating the word. Professor
Garner rewarded him with some milk.
and the performance was repeated until
the monkey had bad his fill of milk, and
until the eXperimenter was satisfied
that the same word was used every
time. Subsequent Investigation showed
that this word, first interpreted milk"
was likewise used for water" and
really meant "drink or "thirst." BY
like course of linguistic tests, the
words for "hunger" or "to eat" and
weather." or Storm" were learned,
and a fourth word, which is men
ace" or cry of alarm" The professor
has made the acquaintance of many
capuchins, and has found no one Of
them that does not use the two words
for food and drink. From the expert,
ments so far conducted, it appears to
have been determined that the simian
tongue has about eight or more sounds,
which may be changed by meditation
into three or four times that number;
they seem to be halfway between a
whistle and pure vocal sound; the
sound used most is like Gu" or 90 {"

THERE is no class of people who need
and can enjoy good reading more than
the farmer and his family; yet as rule
they have less reading matter than any
class of educated, intelligent people.
Not long ago the wife and mother in a
paperless, bookless home, said: "Oh,
how L dread winter; we can't get out
to see any one. It's just like being
shut up in prison. If there was
plenty of good reading matter in that
house the winters would be more en-
durable.

at is a rather strange thing" said
man about town yesterday, "ihat when
Castles in the AIR was creating such
furore in New York city last summer.
with the same identical cast that will
present the opera at the Grand opera
house tomorrow, there was more en-
thusiasm regarding the merits of the
opera then than now in this city. Peo-
pie say, Il don't see why the opera house
management can't get some of these
great successes out here and when
they come they look upon them as part
strings to open, and remain undecided
as to whether to attend the performance
or not until it is perhaps too late, OF
other urgent business requires their at
tentiou. AS soon as the company is
gone some one will bob up with the re-
mark that there hasn't been good
show here this winter" 1t is pretty
nearly true. With Castles in the Air.''

presented with the original cast and
scenery which was used in the New

is said to be stronger than is usually
found in melo dramatic successes. One
of the principal scenes is that of a river,
in which tank holding over 10000 gal
Ions of water is used.

Before Her Infirmity Was Discov-
cred Her Charges Had Lots of
Fun.
New York Star.
There is very exclusive school up
town where kindly old lady of great
responsibility and OF good family was
regularly employed for several months
as chaperon. She doesn't fill this i'm
portant Office now. The principal has
discovered that she is deaf, and, what
is worse, has been ever since she was
engaged. The girls had found her and
had directed her to make an applica-
ton for the confidential office-whicll
appears in the prospectus as one of the
new and attractive features of the in
sttution. They told her how she should
conceal her infirmity, and, everything
working according TO programme, she
was appointed. Many lark the girls
then had with her. At the theater the
deaf old matron would, sitting erect in
her chair, be oblivious of the shy court
ing going OH at her side, and of the oc-
casi0nal fllrtatiOns which once in while
relieved the dreariness of te-'
dious performance. She used to
accompany the girls on shopping
tours, to fairs and concerts, and she
proved faithful guide. But all things
have an ending. So did this sport. The
girls had been out one evening to con-
cert. and returned enthusiastic over the
time they had had. They gathered in
one of the girls rooms and fell to chat
ting about their adventures. Incident
ally reference was made to the old
chaperon's deafness, of her failure to
detect some nonsensical exploit. 1t was
spoken in schoolgirls whisper, too,
but the principal heard 1t. Now a
younger woman, who had to pass reg
ular civil service examination, is the
official chaperOn.

Two of the most interesting illustra-
tiOnS exhibited during the delivery of
Prof. Downie's lecture on Napoleon
Bonaparte, in the Century hall OH last
Thursday evening, were the pictures of
his son, the first representing him as a
pretty boy, the second being the psesent-
one years of age. The portrait of the
Corsican's mother was disappointing,
and one regrets ever having seen 1t.
Prof. DownIe corrected during the
course of his remarks popular fallacy
in connection with the great Corsican's
life. Napoleon's sobriquet of the
Little Corporal was merely term of
endearment bestowed upon him by his
soldiers. He was never corporal in
rank. Prof. Downie interlarded the
lines of his lecture with some very
choice French, and was kind enough to
speak well of the Napoleonic code and
some American institutions.
