JOckO's Recreation.

A few pedestrians who were out for a
morning stroll witnessed brief but
bloody battle through the windows of the
Market street bird store Sunday morn
ing.
Among the denizens of the place is
monkey called Jocko, whose proclivity
for mischief has led him into disgrace be-
fore. On the morning in question Jocko
determined to go on lark. He sue
ceeded in picking the lock of his cage,
and once free turned his attention to his
feathered companions. 1t took him but
few minutes to unlock dozen of the
various cages in the room, and soon
funny procession of monkeys and parrots
were strutting about.
In q few minutes trouble began to
brew. One of the parrots, in a spirit of
mischief, probably, bit Jocko, and a
lively battle ensued. Polly soon found
that she was getting the worst of it and
made a run for her cage minus her tail
feathers and part of wing.
Jocko, who was then thoroughly
aroused, sailed in for q general massacre,
and in a short time had the floor to him
self, save for Minnie, nightingale, who
was too dazed to escape. With one blow
the bird was stretched lifeless on the
floor. The monkey then offered battle
to big stuffed owl which had been gazing
solemnly upon the scene, and receiving
no answer to his challenge threw the bird
off it's pedestal.
Jocko's Waterloo was awaiting him,
however. A huge vampire bat, which
had been watching the battle, jumped
down from his perch, and Jocko started
for him. The contest was brief. The
sharp beak and talons of the bird buried
themselves like flash in the monkeys
flesh, and Jocko was glad to make his es-
cape with the blood flowing from dozen
wounds. At this juncture the proprietor
appeared and hostilities ceased San

Heads of Two Noted Men.

When the wise and witty Sir Thomas
Moore was beheaded his head was stuck
on pole on London bridge, where it was
exposed for fourteen days, much to the
grief OF his daughter, Margaret Roper,
who resolved to secure it. "One day."
says Aubrey, "as she was passing under
the bridge, looking at her fathers head,
she exclaimed: That head has lain
many time in my lap; woxld to God it
would fall into my lap as pass undern
She had her wish, and it did fall into her
lap" Probably she had bribed one of
the keepers of the bridge to throw it
over just as the boat approached, and
the exclamation was intended to avert the
suspicion Of the boatmen. At all events,
she got possession of it, and preserved it
with care in leaden casket until her
death, and it is now inclosed in niche
in the wall of her tomb in St. Dunstans s
Church. Canterbury.
Sir Walter Raleigh's head in red bag
was carried TO his wife, who caused it to
be embalmed, and kept it with her all
her life, permitting favored friends, like
Bishop Goodman, to see and even to kiss
it. His son, Carew Raleigh, afterward
preserved it with similar piety. 1t is
supposed now to rest in the church of
West Horsley, Surrey.-[Gentlemen's

Salah. Stanley's attendant, said it
was curious to watch Stanley's white
officers when introduced to cItiqudngd,
kind of pudding made of boiled
manioc root. Neither the taste nor
odor of this food is at all inviting at
first, but necessity brings all whites
as well as blacks to regard it as the
bread of life before many months of
residence in Central Africa.
Sometimes when deprived OF it for
many days L have often hailed piece
of toasted chiquangG as real luxury,
and L have been rather disgusted with
newly arrived whites whose upturned
noses condemned my barbaric taste.
When Stanley's white officers had
finished their small stock of timed
provisions and rice, they were abso-
lutely compelled to fall back on the
manioc dishes; but the sourness of
taste of this African pudding is a
serious berrier to the enjoyment of it,
and some stubborn persistence is re-
quired before the white man halls
chiquanga at delicacy: but like other
white travellers, these officers began
to like it, and when they passed be-
yond the districts where it grew, and
were forced to adhere to roast plan
tain diet, they regretted bitterly that
they had no mahioc.-St Nicholas.

Errors In Biographies.

"The publishers of school maps" says
a teacher in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, "are responsible for more errors
than any other class of people on the
planet. They use sometimes half dozen
different scales of sizes in single book,
and it is impossible for children to get a
correct idea of the relative sizes of differ
ent countries because of their lack of
uniformity in the scale. In an atlas fo,
school use all the maps should be ON the
same scale, otherwise mostincowect ideas
will be formed. recently asked bright
boy who had just finished the study OF
geography and laid it by because he
knew all about it, how large he supposed
Arabia was. He reflected Il moment, and
then, with some confidence, replied that
Arabia was about the size of Massachu-
sets. suggested the possibility of his
being mistaken, when he got his atlas and
showed me that Arabia and Massachu-
setts were the same size, that is, ON the
map. He opened his eyes when | ex-
planned to him the mysteries of the scale,
and that instead of being a mere speck
Arabia was as long as from tPaul to New
Orleans, as wide as from st. Louis to
New York, and contained more than
one-third as many square miles as the
United States. He had been misled by
the maps, as his teacher probably had
also, and thousands e other people be-
sides. A uniform scale would prevent
many false ideas, and if national
series of textbooks is ever adopted the
aliases should have that feature prom
inent"

Cairo, for long time has been no.
torious as one of the most unhealthy
cities of her size in the world and is
likely to remain SO unless the French
can be induced to abandon their pres
ent obstructive policy in Egypt. The
town is practically without drainage
and year by year the necessity for
remedying the evil becomes rore
urgent. Some time ago the Govern
ment took the matter in hand, en-
ployed number of distinguished
sanitary engineers and prepared a
scheme for system of sewerage
which is generally admitted to be
the best and cheapest that could be
devised. 1t was proposed to pay for
the improvement by half the octroi
receipts of the city, but France will
not consent and demands the appoint
ment of an international commission of
three experts to study the question,
to invite plans and to decide which is
to be adopted, no plan to be adopted
unless accepted by all three experts
unanimously. The object of this
proposition if clear, a8 unless it is
modified the drainage plan must be
abandoned, at least for the present.

Incipient Melancholy.

Melancholia is grave disease, especi-
ally because of its strange and terrible
tendency to induce suicide and homicide.
AS the patients reasoning processes
seem to be perfectly clear, friends are
seldom sufficiently on their guard. The
danger is always present, however, nor
is the highest degree of intelligence or
of moral worth any safeguard against it.
The New York Medical Journal has a
report of lecture on the Importance of
recognizing melancholia in its earlier
stage by Dr. Burnett lecturer in the Kan
sas City Medical College, of which re-
port we make free use
There is marked difference between
sadness and melancholia," says DIR. Bur-
nett. 'ln ordinary sadness there is q
cause comprehensive to the individual,
and he will seek to remove it. In mel
ancholia there is no apparent cause !;
there is some implication of the higher
faculties, and the patient is usually in
different to his condition, surroundings
and future progress.
There are several forms of the affec-
ton: Simple melancholia, melancholia
uSltulu, H1tluHClollu uttohllut anu bitl-
ancholia with stupor, The first two are
the most difficult of recognition, and it
is these that especially endanger the lives
of the patient and his friends.
The first important system of simple
melancholia is sleeplessness. Another
symptom, of the greatest Importance, is
dull pain in the back of the neck, ex-
tending to the back of the head. 1t is
only within few years that this symp.
tom has been recognized.
The third symptom is depression Of
spirits, accompanied by slower mental
movements and retarded speech and ac.
tions. When the first and the last symp
toms are connected with pain in the neck
the diagnosis may be considered as con.
clusive.-lPhiladelphia Record.

SpurgeOn as a Detective.

On one occasion Mr.. Spurgeon, the
great London evangelist, in the midst of
his sermon turned to the deacons, who
occupied seats Immediately behind, and
without appreciably interrupting the
course of his sermon, said in a low voice:
"Pickpocket, Mrs. So and Sos pew, and
resumed the thread of his discourse. Two
deacons left their seats, and passing out
by the stairs behind, re-entered the Tab
ernacle on the area floor from opposite,
one of them bringing with him the po-
liceman stationed at the doors. They
met in the aisle by the pew indicated,
and the pickpocket was taken out, most
people supposing it was merely case of

"Witncss My Hand.''

In the early days only few scholars,
priests and clerks knew how to write. 1t
was then customary to sign a document
by smearing the hand with ink and i'm
pressing it upon the paper, accompanied
by the words: Witness my hand" !"
Afterwards the seal was introduced as a
substitute for the hand mark, and was
used with the words above quoted, the
two forming the signature. This is the
origin of the expression as used in modern
documents. s.-ISt. Louis Republic.

She's the woman who gets well.
It's the woman who aoonb see and

And it's needless. There's a
medioine-a legitimate medicine
that's made to stop worlan's suf-
fering and cure woman's ailments.
It's Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It's purely vegetable and

periodical pains, weak back, bearing
down sensations, nervous prostra-
tion, and all "female complaints"
it's positive remedy: 1t improves
digestion, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, melancholy and
nervousness, brings refreshing sleep,
and restores health and strength.
No other medicine for women is
guaranteed, as this is. If it fails to
give satisfaction, in any case, the
money paid for it is refunded. You
pay only for the good you get. On
