Animals That Kill Each Other With
All the Skill OF Men.
From the London Spectator.
Indian wolves have been seen to leave
some Of their number in ambush at points
on the edge of the jungle, while others
drove in antelopes feeding In the open
ground beyond. But wolves, as a rule,
hunt alone or In families, except when
pressed by hunger. Wild dogs, however,
habitually combine to hunt, aud Baldwin,
in his "Game of Bengal" mentioned g case
of four or five martens hunting fawn OF
the "muntjacn or barking deer.
But in real military organization and
strategy, monkeys are far ahead Of all
animals, and notably the different kinds of
baboon. Mansfield Parkins gives an excel
lent account of the tactics Of the dog-faosd
Hamadryads that lived in large colonies in
the cracks Of the clifrs OF the Abyssinian
mountains. These creatures used OCCASION
ally to plan foraging expedition into the
plain below, and the order of attack was
most carefully organized. the old males
marching in front and on the TANKS, with a
few to bring up the rear and keep the rest
in order. They had a code of signals, halt
ing and advancing according to the barks
Of the scouts.
When they reached the corn fields the
main body plundered while the old males
watched on all sides, but took nothing for
| themselves. The others slowed the corn in
their cheek pouches aad under their arm
pits. They are also said to dig wells with
their hands and work In relays. The Gelada
balloons sometimes have battles with the
Hamadryads, especially when the two
species have a mind to rob the same field,
and, If fighting in the hills, will roll stones
on their enemies. Not long ago a colony of
Gelada balloons. which had been fired at by
some black soldiers attending Duke of
| Coburg Gotha on a hunting expedition on
the borders Of Abyssinia, blocked pass
for some days by rolling rocks on all corners.
This seems to give some support to curl.

port, after noting that the Inhabitants on

might quarrel with strangers, went on to
allege that monkeys inhabited the banks
and they would roll down stones on the
steamers. THE last two facts,n the report
added, would lead to complaint from the
English and embroil the oelestials with
them, especially if the men or the monkeys

A GIRL IN TROUSER ).
How a Woman Disguised Her Sex

From the PHILADELPHIA Press

How a Woman Disguised Her Sex
and Hired Out as a Farm hand.
From the Philadelphia Press.
OTTAWA, June 21.-Clara Workman, efter
whom 800 men have been searching the
woods, instead of being lost, as was sup
posed, and. having wandered about hungry
and cold for twelve days, voluntarily left
her home. and during the greater part of
her absence, while her friends and neigh
bors were looking for her, she was COM
fortably situated at the farm OF Byron Me-
Leod, about two miles from Sussex.
She did not like going to school, and on
Monday, June l, when she left home, she
had in the basket In which she carried her
lunch all the necessary clothes for chang
ing her garb TO that of a man. She entered
the woods and sat down and ripped up and
made over to fit her, suit Of her brothers.
She then, with the aid of pair of scissors,
cropped off her long hair. and having at
tired herself in male clothing waited for
darkness, when she had desired to do her
walking. When she got her hair cut, she
says she repented and wanted to return
home, but she had spoiled her brothers
clothes, and had altered her own appear
ance so that she was afraid to, so she deter
mined to go on.
After dark, she started out on the road,
and walked on to Salisbury station, carry
ing with her the basket in which were the
luncheons intended for her and her sister
She left her own clothes in the woods Just
where she had changed them. The next
morning she had walked to Mr.. Bryon Nc
Lsods, about two miles from Sussex, and
hired there as farm hand for half a month
at So month. Mr.. Mcleod was assent at
the time, and she made her arrangements
with Mrs. McLeod. and gave her name as
Jack Bent. The work was hard aud her
experience was pretty rough one.
Neither Mr.. Mcleod nor others had any
suspicion Of her sex. though the servant
girl used to watch her pretty close. One
day, she says, Mr.. Mcleod said to her,
well, Jack, you would make cookbook
ing girl" When found she was in the field
hoeing potatoes. The work was too hard
for her. and her hands were all blistered and
her bones aching.
Miss Wortman's family say that the cause
of the girls strange course is excessive
novel reading. The last book that she read
told of the adventures Of a young girl who
changed her sex and had a very exciting
time. The name Jack Bent, assumed by
Miss Workman, was the name of the girl in
the novel. Miss Workman herself says that
she does not think that novel reading had
anything to do with her course she does not
know exactly why she started, and had no
regular plan marked out, but was thinking
Of making her way toward the United
States

HERBERT KELcEY's TROUSERS.
Els Heroic Endeavor to Prevent Their
Ba9ging at the Knee.

Ba2ging at the Knee.
From the Boston Home Journal.
Herbert Kelcey'S dignified appearance is
part of his reputation. His faultless
coats and his well-creased trousers, which
never seem to have discovered that their
wearer is iointed at their knees like the rest
OF the world. have been the envy of plenty
OF fellows who cannot sit down once in a
pair Of breeches without letting them into
all the secrets of their shape. II is not gen.
orally known, however, how much care
Kelley takes to keep up his appearance. OF
course, in New York it is perfectly easy to
keep ones self pressed, but when he is
travelling on the road it is quite different
matter. The actor resorts to various
methods to retain that beautiful crease
down the front of his trousers, one of
which is to take his trousers when he un-
dresses, stretch them carefully into shape,
and lay them between the mattresses of his
bed-when his bed has two mattresses.
Last year he left a western hotel in hur-
~ and left pair of trousers behind him,
for which he te.egraphed back from the
next town. In the meantime Mr. and Mrs
Barrymore had arrived at the hotel the next
night and had Teen assigned to the room
Kelley had occupied. The bell boy was
sent to the room to ask the occupants per-
mission to look for the missing neither gar
ment. They were found between the mat
tresses, aud Barrymore undertook to do
them up and forward them to his brother
actor. When Kelley received the package
it contained in addition to the trousers
bill stating that Herbert Kelley was
indebted to Mr.. and Mrs. Maurice Barry
more for pressing one pair of trousers

A RUINED RELIC.
The Turkey Which Walked on the
Sandstone Had Two Left Fest.

The Turkey Which Walked on the
Sandstone Had Two Left Fest.
From the San Francisco Cali
Prof. Norton. the Ohio state geologist,
who is at the palace, told last night of re-
markable piece Of sandstone that was found
near Cincinnati recently.
"a farmer from down in that section
came to me one day." said the professor,
land with him, carefully wrapped in silk
handkerchief, he had piece Of red sand
stone which he was very anxious for me to
examine IL was a very pretty piece of
rock. and imbedded in it were a number of
turkey tracks, which were very distinct.
The owner had with him also a number Of
affidavits from men in his section, testifying
as to the location of the rock when found,
from which it was evident that the rock
must have been thousands Of years old.
81 examined 1t very closely, as IL deeply
interested, and said at last: That Is very
nice story indeed, but the stone is of no use
to me- IS ss,s
What do You meanp he demanded. DO
you doubt the truth of these affidavitsp
Not in the least replied, as suavely
as possible, 'bur it is little singular that
that turkey had two left feet and no right.
"My friend caught on at once. and, with
q muttered imprecation. passed out into the
street and disappeared"

1t is peculiar fact that but one bunch of
bananas grows on a tree, After the fruit
has been cut the tree Is then cut down to
the ground, and from the stump another
tree sprouts which bears another bunch the
following year. The greatest trouble of
sprouts, They shoot up from the roots OF
the tree for radius OF ten feet and grow
like weeds
As the fruit Is cut from the trees it is
placed on the backs Of little pack donkeys and
transported in this way to the coast One
donkey can carry from three to Elk punches,
according to the size of the punches and
the distance from the coast. In the season
at Baracoa there are more than three thou
sand donkeys that stretch along line for
miles Flooding to ward the coast with their
loads OF bananas.
During the past year or two, however,
this mode of transportation has been i'm
proved upon at Baracoa by the advent OF a
railroad
The fruit from Jamaica is considered by
dealers to be the largest, best and most sala-
bic. This is said to be owing to the fact
that the fruit is allowed to remain longer
on the trees and is more fully matured than
from any other section.
HERE'S A BIG GROVE.
One firm has just planted a grove of
l,3D, 900 trees at Glbara. Sauna, near Bar
acoa. which will be bearing fruit in another
year.
The cost to the farmer Of raising the fruit
10 estimated at % cents d tree, and be calcu-
lates on realizing 10 per cent. profit. The
fruit is sold in the market at from Is cents
TO 81 bunch wholesale
The principal markets for bananas are
New York, New Orleans, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Savannah, Galveston and
Tampa, Fla. From these points the fruit is
circulated over the country.
Last year there was an increase Of nearly
4.0O0.OO0 punches imported over the year
previous, and dealers say that from present
appearances there will be almost as large an
increase this year over last year.

A Needle the Cause OF a Kentuck,
Gentleman's Illness.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer

LTYUITeT.
MAYsvILLE, June 19.-John K. Struve OF
Mt. Olivet, Robertson county, was
out horseback riding few days since, when
he was suddenly seized with severe pain
in the region of the groin. Bis first thought
was that some insect had stung him, but on
investigation he found a sharp substance
almost protiuding through tho skin. A
physician was summoned, and, on making
an incision, discovered needle imbedded in
the flesh with the eye pointing downward.
Mr.. Struve caunot account for the needle
getting into such a strange place. He was
critically ill last summer from kidney and
intestinal troubles, and this sickness is now
attributed to the needle passing through
those organs in its wanderi1gs.

The Arm, and The Indians.

IGsn. Nelson A. Miles in North Amsriean Reviessl
While the Indians have been in this dis
affected condition. and reaTming and remount-
ing the little army, that is the only safe
guard between the unprotected settlers and
the savage hordes, has been employed in other
fields, and its supplies and equipment have
been seriously curtailed. Congress has fixed
the limit Of the enlisted men in the army, the
number Of employees the number Of horses and
the number Of mules, and the limit Is what
might be required in time Of peace rather than
what is actually required in serious warfare.
Congress, however, has not limited Indian
wars. This ueeessarially causes much embar
Tassment 10 the United States troops; yet il
has been the experience of the Army Of the
United States 10 cope with the large number
OF savage tribes, experiencing all the dangers
aud hardships of war in which no quarter is
exacted. and every officer and soldier who en-
ters an Indian campaign realizes that. unless
he achieves success, naught awaits him but tor
ture or death.
No one who has not experienced il can COM
prehend or appreeiate the fortitude, hardships,
and sacrifices displayed and endured by our
Army in its years Of ex xpeTience in Indian war
fare; frequently in the widest and most rugged
sections of the country, amid canyons, mount
aims and lava-beds, under the tropical heats Of
the South or in the Arctic billiards of the ex-
treme North. Yet year after year it discharges
whatever service Is required Of Il with most
commendable fidelity.

Improved Local Coudition..

Nes0 York Stakeholder, Dec. 20: Such activity
as developed in the stock market at the close
was due to anticipation Of good bank state
mcnt, which were unquestionably realized, as
the banks in the past week have gained in sur
plus S3,65S, 600 and now hold $7,72l275 in ex-
cess Of legal requirements. The improvement
in local conditions indicated by these figures
was largely, though not altogether, responsible
for the stronger undertOne at the end. For
what has had more effect to restore confidence
is the fact that clearing house loan certificates
are being retired more rapidly than is gener-
ally supposed. On Saturday certificates to the
amount Of $360,000 were cancelled. Thus we
begin the week to-day with S13, SPA, 900 certifi-
Gates outstanding, instead of over $l5O00O0O,
as was the ease a week ago. All this is indi-
cative of a gradual restoration of confidence.
1t likewise denotes an easier feeling in financial
circles. Furthermore, it has a most important
bearing upon money. which, unless the signs Of
the times are misleading is going to be plenti-
ful enough in the near future.
