Lcndcr Of a Monkey Tribe.

When they get ready to start on their
expedition an old monkey, the leader Of
the tribe, with staff in his hand. so as to
stand upright more easily, marches ahead
on two legs, thus being more elevated
than the others, so as to see signs of dam
ger more readily. The rest follow him on
all tours. The leader advances slowly and
cautiously, carefully accommodating in
all directions, till tie party arrives at the
corn field. He then assigns the sentinels
to their respective posts. All being now
in readiness, the rest of the tribe ravage
and eat to their hearts content. When
they retire each one carries two or three
ears of corn along, and from this provision
the sentinels are RECALLED on their arrival
at their lair
Here we see ability to rule and will
ingness to submit to rule; o thoughtful
preparation of means to the end in view
and recognition of the rights of the
sentinels to be suitably rewarded at the
close of the expedition. Wherein does
all this differ from q similar foray of a
tribe of savage men? The only difference
is in degree; otherwise it is much the
same. Professor Edwin Emerson in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Although the daily press prints copious
statements of horrors, many people CON
tinue TO confde in the common oil lamp
with fearless reliance nothing short Of
incredible, considering the well known
dangers associated with its careless man
agement. Some of the state legislatures
hove enacted laws to regulate the manu-
facture Of kerosene OIL limiting The flash
ing point" to not less than 100 aegs. Fab
renheit. This, however, appears to be an
illusory safeguard. Experiments seem to
have conclusivciy proved that most Of the
lamps made WILL oven with the best quail
ity Of oil, generate gas IN sufficient guam
titles to cause q violent explosion. A
writer IN late number of The Scientific
American compares the ordinary kerosene
lamp to q miniature gas machine, making
gas and depositing it in the oil tank as
effectively as though it We're an apparatus
especially designed for that purpose.
1t may be worthy OF mention here that
the gas thus referred to is an element
capable Of exerting immense energy when
ignited, but this contingency can be al
ways provided against by using q good
lamp and keeping it well supplied with
oil, so Us to leave little space IN the tank
for gas. Under these conditions a lamp

In December, 1853, Bosco, the world re-
nowned conjurer, came also; he was a
wonderfully jovial man, reveling in the
practice of legerdemain, of which he was
a consummate master, and not in the
least reluctant to fool all he met, high
and low, in public and in private. He
was the last of tEo prestidigitators who
trusted more to their marvellous manipu-
lation than to artificial tricks sandHpre-
pared contrivances; short and very stout,
he would perform i'll a sleeveless shirt,
black velvet tunic, and, hourishing his
massive white arms in the air, apostro-
phize the spirit infernai mici' before
executing some perfectly incredible feat. {
On market days, strolling before the
countrywomen and their wares, he
would carefully pick up a carrot or a
turnip, cut it open abstractedly and with
feigned surprise extract piece of money,
repeating the experiment several times
from different baskets till the dazzled
vendors ruthlessly performed the same
operation on their whole stock in quest
of the coveted silver. Bosco, laughing
like boy at lis practical joke, generally
handed his dupes the value of their dam
aged goods, preachi.g meanwhile a serious
little homily on the dangers of covetous-
ness During his stay in Berlin he was
asked to perform before the regent and
/ his family. In the course of the seance
he pointed to terrestrial globe on a
stand, saying to the prince: "Highness,
drop your finger on the kingdom of Prus-
STA, and you will see it grow under your
touch. The prince complied with the
request, and as lac placed his hand on the
specified spot the frontiers expanded on
either side, to the incredulous surprise of
a score Of bystanders. Bosco denied that
he bad the gift of prophecy and

Lower the Meat BIS.

Everybody has his or her way of living,
and, If they would tell, the whole race
might be benefited by il. But whatever
the theories may be, whether ore reader
believes in a meat diet aud another does
not, it would be interesting to know how
each succeeded. The writer has often
heard the remark: 81 wonder how a man
on $40 manages to liver Yes, it may be
a wonder, but hundreds of men do it, and
the writer knows, within the range of his
own experience at least half dozen men
who do it, and do it seemingly very nicely
Their wives wear inexpensive but neat
and attractive looking clothes, the chill
dren who go TO school look as clean and
as well dressed as the children of some
other men who earn more and the pre-
sumption is that each of these families
get enough to eat AT all events they
certainly look as if they did
Now, with little study, the writer
does not hesitate to say many families
could save money.
"Where?'
Right in the house; right on top of the
table. If a man can afford certain dishes
and doesn't care whether he will later be
troubled with dyspepsia, all right; but if
he has not the very necessary where
with" he ought to knock off on some of
his meat bills. BY this means he would
have more money to expend for clothing
and for few of the things he cannot now
enjoy and which he is forced to consider
as Injuries. Boston Globe.

How Italian Laborers Work.

As | stand gazing from my study win
dow | see deep trench 250 feet in length,
6 feet deep, feet wide In it stand be-
tween forty and fifty Italians, shaggy
haired, bright eyed bronzed skinned, fur
rowed with dirt, their hands, knuckles,
their clothes the commonest and cheapest
obtainable They're working. The first
thought which occurs is, where are the
Irish who, ten years ago, did this work?
don't know where they are. They GER
tainly are not doing this class Of work to-
day. There are probably fifty miles Of
various kinds of trenching going on in
this city today, and in all those afty miles
doubt if you can find fifty Irisnmen, but
will find you at least $500 Italians.
The second thought is, why pay these
men for this kind of work? What kind
of work? Lazy work. Why, there's a
group standing Immediately in front of
me now, three of them leaning on picks,
two of them on shovels, while another
lazily losses a half shovelful Of dirt from
the bottom of the trench on to the wind
row by its side. They don't begin to
earn the traditional dollar a day, yet
there they are, and it is a very serious
problem, first, what has become of the
Irish, to whom this great work was
formerly intrusted alonel and, second, by
what process of reasoning do contractors
find it to be to their ADVANTAGE to hire
such lazy workers as these fellows show
themselves to be?-Joe Howard in Chicago
News.

long to get it.
Thoughts of those poor children in
Michigan tortured her all the week, and
when she started for the Sunday school
the next time there was something heavy
Ia her pocket, and something heavier in
her little heart.
She waited until the lesson was over,
and then she put her hand in her pocket
and took out two or three handfuls Of
pennies and small change. These she laid
in Miss Lucy's lap. Only little over SO
in ALL but as much to her as $500 to some
older people.
"Thats for the folks in Michigan, she
said, and ran out before Miss Lucy could
speak.
Patty walked home. and part of the
way was through some woods. When
she had gone about half way abe sat
down and cried as if her little heart would
break. When she was crying the hardest
she looked up and saw Mr.. Simms
How'd do Patty2" he said.
Pretty w-well, SIR. she answered
between her sobs.
Then he asked her what was the mat
ter and she told him all about the people
in Michigan, for she thought because he
didn't 90 to church that he didn't know
about them. He looked so kind and in
terested, not one bit cross, that she told
him about the 50 and the music box.
He told her to be brave girl and not
cry, and then he asked her to kiss him
good-by, for he said he was going long
way off. She did and then trotted home,
feeling better, because she had told some
one of her trouble.
The next night after she had gone to
bed Patty heard her papa say: well,
have found out what that Mr. Simms has
been doing here He has been writing
book, and starts for New York to morrow
on his way to Europe. What an ugly
fellow he wasl"
One day later in the week the minister
came to see Pattys mother. He said he
had something to show her; he handed
her a note and this is what she read:
Mr.. ingham-Enclosed you will
find check for 800, which you will
please send to Michigan with the rest. l

AN UNSETTLED QUESTION.
Some Official Data a. to tho American
Citizenship Of the Pueblo Indians.

The u. s. Indian commissioner, Gen.
eral Morgan, in reply ito letter oi
inquiry, writes ]. Henry Beck
er as to the status of the Pueblo Indians
and their citizenship. He says the posi-
ton is somewhat anomalous In the case
of the U. s. vs. Joseph, a Otto, GA, J
the supreme court held that Pueblo In
dians were not Indian tribes within
the meaning of the intercourse act
but forbore to express any opinion
as to their citizenship until
the question properly came before it
From the tenor Of the decision of the u.
S, supreme court in the case of the U. S
VS.. Ritchie, III Howard, $3.50, it is to be
inferred hat they are citizens. In 1857
Chief Justice Slough, sitting in the y. S.
court for the lst judicial district of New
Mexico, so decided, and on appeal to the
supreme court OF New Mexico that deci-
sion was affirmed, but the case never went
to the U. s. supreme court.
Under the statutes of New Mexico the
Pueblo Indians are excluded from voting
at the territorial elections. They are
treated by the government as holding
quasi tribal relations. But whether or not
they are to be regarded as citizens of the
United States, they certainly do not, says
Commissioner Morgan, come within the
naturalization laws, for two reasons: !:
First, they are aliens, and second, they
do not belong to either the white or the
African race to which two races the
naturalization laws are confined.

An exchange says that the entire sup.
ply of Jerusalem corn in Kansas came
from two kernels, These produced the
seed from which five bushels were raised
the following season, and the next crol
amounted to 500 bushels. The plant grows
to the height OF about three feet, and re
sembles broom corn or sorghum. The
grain is white and answers every purpose
which is served by Indian corn. Itmakes
sweeter and better bread, and is delicious
when boiled, after the manner of oatmeal
In wet weather it runs to stalks ano
grows six feet high without any grain to
speak of. 1t produces hest when the sea
son is dry and after the plant gets a start
it is said to be absolutely inpervious to
the influence of drouth and hot winds
The farmers of western Kansas are pre-
pairing to engage in its culture the coming
season to large extent. The attention.
of New Mexico farmers is called to the
subject.

Another Army ohake-up.

WASHINGTON, Feb, IA BY far the most
important legislation affecting the person
mel OF the army enacted during the pres.
ent Congress is the measure which has
just passed the House and which now
needs only the signature of the President
to make it a law. 1t provides for the
transfer from the limited to the unlimlt-
ed retired last of all officers who have
reached "a years of aye.
The immediate OBJECT of the bill will be
to transfer about 40 officers, who have
reached "a years of age, to the unlimited
list. As the bill reduces the number of
the limited list from 400 to $50, there will
be 6O vacancies on the limited list to be
filled by disabled Officers, and there are
now just that number who have been
found disabled by retiring boards. These
~ retirements mean about four times that
number OF promotions.
