WASHINGTON, April 19.-The bill to
amend the act of June 25, $780, approving
the funding act of Arizona, was taken up
and read.
One sentence in the bill attracted the at
tention of Mr.. Stewart. 1t was 4 provi-
sion that the interest on the bonds pro-
vided for in the Arizona funding act
should be payable in gold coin of the
United States II was the first time. Mr.
Stewart said, since the passage of the re-
sumption act that such clause had been
contained in bill. He argued that the
passage of the bill, with interest on the
bonds payable in gold coin, would be
seized upon by the gold press to show that
the people of Arizona were opposed to the
free coinage of silver.
Mr. Kyle moved to strike out the words,
sin gold coin OF the United States" and
insert, in lieu thereof the words, lin law

"Better leave that monkey alone if you
don't want the dog to bite you; he won't
let anybody fool with his chum." The
speaker was twelve-year-old Charley Bur
rell, ard his remarks were addressed to a
crowd Of men and boys that crowded
around him and his two pets. The pets in
question were a fine looking silky haired
spaniel and n diminutive monkey, that
was pcrched on the dogs back, and seemed
quite at home there. Most dogs would
object to playing horse with such rider,
but Rex not only seemed to enjoy the fun,
but also took it upon himself to resent any
undue familiarity with his rider.
Rex is Charley's inseparable companion,
and when the lads father made his young
master n present of baby monkey the
deg did not become jealous, as some dogs
would, but at once adopted the little
orphan, and has been father to it since.
That was eight months ago, and the lit
tie orphan has thrived wonderfully under
the care Of its strange foster parent. Jack,
for that is the name of the monkey, shares
RcX's kennel at night and slows himself
away in the dogs warm silky hair, and the
dog sees that not even his young master
can intrude ON his pet until its lis ended
and it rises of :ts own accord. One plate
serves for both animals at meal times, and
Jack gets all the choicest morsels, as the
dog never begins to eat until Jack has
finished and retired to his seat on his
friends back.
The strange friendship between the two
has grown SO strong that the dog will
never leave the house unless the monkey
is clinging to his back, and many hard
battle has Rex fought in defense of his
friend. San Francisco Examiner.

Mon,,rou. Cat, OF a Bvrone Da,

During one Of the early epochs there
were numerous species of cats, all Of them
since extinct, which varied in size all the
way from that of household pussy Of to-
day to the huge saber toothed tiger. Not
a few of them were astonishingly fierce
and correspondingly destructive. The
teeth they have left behind tell the story
of the way they lived, describing, as well
as words could doit, their extreme ferocity.
They attained the climax of their type in
the saber toothed tigers, bigger than
either the lion or the tiger of today, which
had CANNES a foot in length and shaped
like curved knives with sawlike edges.
They roamed the continent in the time of
the gigantic sloths, such as the megathe-
ria, and doubtless did much to exterminate
the latter helpless and vegetable eating
beasts. They were plentiful in Texas,
where the remains of good many have
been dug up.
Unfortunately for them the specializa-
tiou or function was carried so far in their
case as to be the means of their destruc-
ton. Not only were these exaggerated
teeth useless for biting purposes, but they
could not be used to cut with unless the
animals jaws were closed. Besides, they
were so in the way as to prevent the beast
from biting off large pieces of flesh, thus
interfering with its feeding. There is a
reason to believe that sometimes these
saoer teeth got caught on the CANNES in
the lower jaw in such manner as to hold
the mouth wide open and prevent it from
being shut again, thus causing starvation.
