THE MONKEY LANGUAGE.
Two Scientists who DO Not Agree
with Prof. Garner.

Prof. Gamers theory of language
among monkeys, as perfect and distinct
in itself as that of the human family, has
not achieved any encouraging recogni:
ton among the scientists of the country.
DIR. d. G. Brintcn, of Philadelphia, takes
u decided stand against Prof. Garner.
At q meeting of the Nineteenth Century
Club in New York City, on Tuesday
evening. Prof. Garner explained his
theory at some length. DIR. Brinton
followed, and said that while the profess
sors scheme of preserving the various
cries of the monkeys by means of the
Ihonograph is an original and effective
one, some of his ideas concerning q
monkey language are, in his opinion, de-
cidedly at fault. Prof. Garner holds
that the articulate language of human
beings is similar TO the language of
monkeys. DIR. Brinton could not agree
with the professor on that point.
Human speech, he said, lis not de-
rived from the sensations of pain, plea
sure, hunger or the like, as Prof. Garner
holds. 1t is tho development of the logi-
cal and not of the emotional faculty, and
is tho simplest form of expression. IL,

in language with which you were wholly
unacquainted, he might DO protesting
his love for you, while you might be-
Iievc he was expressing the opposite SEN
iiment, and vice versa. With the brute
language it is different. 1t is not neces-
sary that one should be student of the
language of dogs TO understand the diff
ference between the yelps of rage emit
ted by one of those animals when his
tail is trodden upon, and the bark of joy
at meeting his master.
Language is purely conventional
and manufactured product, such as the
brute creation ore not competent TO pro-
duce. The cries of monkey are very
similar to the interjoctions of the human
language, but like these parts of the hu-
man speech, they cannot be parsed.
Thcrsfore, hold there is no language
among monkeys"
DR.. Perry, professor of Sanskrit in
Columbia College, agreed with the re-
marks of DIR. Brinton.
Prof. Garner felt rather incensed at
tho remarks of these gentlemen, but still
maintains that monkeys can speak, and
will start for tho scene of his peculiar
researches In q week or SO. [Pbilndel-

To Prevent Badness.

A writer in an English medical paper
says that much of the prevalent lido
pa hic badness, thatis, badness not due
10 previous disease or exciting causes.
could be prevented, or. at all events,
modified, if people would take few SEN
sible precautions. A head-covering
should be used rs little as possible and
never indoors, in trains or in closed car
riages. In summer and still weather
straw hats are best; in winter, light felt,
ventilated and unlined. Too constant
washing Of the hair is unnecessary, as
we'll as harmful. Once week is quite
enough for cleanliness as well as for
maintaining the strength of the hair.
The same remark applies to constant
brushing; continued brushing, esp
cially with harl brushes, should be
avoided. There is a common notion that
grcasing the hair is vulgar, and IL is now
regarded as bad form" The conse-
quence is that many people fall into tile
other extreme, and never apply any
pomade at all. After the hair has been
washed it is quite beneficial to apply a
moderate quantity of some form of sim-
pie grease or oil.-LCourier-Journal.

pie, evidently with the intention OF caus-

thrown into confusion, and for time IL
was supposed that number OF people had
been killed. Some women tainted

cries OF the injured added TO the disinay
