MACHINERY. CASTINGS. ETC.
Tough Yarn of Manohu Monkeys.
From the Now York Times.


An extraordinary story is told by The
Daily News, which states that DR. Mac
gowan has returned to TienTsin, bringing
with him, among other curious discove-
ries, some particulars of a race Of Man
churian monkeys inhabiting the mountain
region of the Great Wall of China They
are said to know how to make pottery;
more remarkable still, they are repre-
scented as having made extraordinary
progress in the art Of making wine. A
recent edition of the official history of
Yungping states that lately a large body
of immigrating monkeys passed a certain
village in crossing from one mountain to
another. The boys Of the village clappcd
their hands and shouted at the spectacle,
and the monkeys, being frightened, fled,
taking their young in their arms, but
dropping in their fight a number of
earthen vessels, some of which would
hold a quart On opening these, the viii
layers found they contained two kinds of
wine, a pink and green, that had been
made from mountain berries. IT is af-
firned that the monkeys store this liquor
for use in the winter when the water is
all frozen.
DIR. Mcgowan cites other independent
testimonies to similar facts, including a
Chinese account of monkeys in Chekiang
who pound fruit in stone mortars to make
into wine and he asks, SIS it likely that

An Awful Possibility.

It is a great deal more sensible to
travel comfortably than to throw away
money for nothing. l would prefer to
have cabin to myself, even if I had to
travel on second class ship. l do not
see why l should have stranger in my
room. 1t is dreadful lottery, and he
is apt to have very unclean habits. I'M
agine this in close, stuffy atmosphere,
filled already with the odors of the ship
and the stencil of the machinery. You
cannot ask a man for guarantee of his
position. He is apt to belong to the mid
die class, and think how perfectly horri-
BILE it would be to inhabit room with a
being who has very uncertain notions
about the complete change Of linen every
day and whose rule Of cleanliness has
been tub once a week, on Saturday
night.
And then, even if oleanly, he might
not wear the right kind of underclothes,
and he might persist in sleeping in night
robes instead Of pajamas, and he might
do hundred other dreadful things
Think of watching such creature dress
it would be an awful fascination with
me-and find that he changed his collar
and his cuffs and not his shirt, which,
still glazed and shiny from the manipu-
lations of a Chinaman, would have its
dirt spotted bosom concealed by made
up scarf whit is too horrible to think
of!-Cor. Vogue.

Helping the Government.

Now that the civil war is long way
in the past it is safe to relate certain
cases of the cutting of red tape which at
the time were winked at and kept as
quiet as possible. Military routine often
left men without what civilians would
regard as the commonest necessities of
life, and to endure these deprivations
when they were unnecessary was hard
anywhere, and especially so at Washing
ton, where supplies were abundant
enough.
One day in the summer Of 1851 Mfsas
regiment was encamped in Washington.
The rations were poor, and two soldiers,
privates, resolved to see il they could
not get something better.
They went, in their uniforms Of course,
directly to the White House, and enter
ing by side door managed to evade the
guardians of the executive mansion. In
one Of the passages they met very tall
man. They had no doubt it was Presi-
dent Lincoln. They bowed to him, and
he bowed to them, but they said moth
ing. Their business was not with kkt2.
but with his cook.
They went on and found their way 20
the broad kitchen. The cook was there
at work.
Look herer' the Maine men said to
him, "we've sworn to support this ere

ben a-doin it on nothin but salt junk.

at lunch I took up what supposed was

was startled by the sudden exclamation

said that in an establishment where he

came in regularly at least three times a
week and ordered a sirloin steak we'll
broiled, upon which he always poured a
liberal portion of New Orleans molasses.
Another waiter said that on one occa-
sion young man had ordered powdered
sugar and two dozen oysters and that
he had literally sprinkled the sugar on
the oysters before he ate them. A COM

The ferocity of sharks is not necessa-

SO called because of it's habit Of lying
motionless at the surface of the water.
1t often attains length of nearly forty
feet, but its teeth are small compare
lively, and it probably never attacks
man, depending upon small fishes and
crustacea for its diet Another name for
this species is "sail fish," because of its
great back fin, which shows out of the
water like sail when it is basking.
Although sluggish ordinarily and cas-
lily harpooned, it exhibits great activity
and enormous strength when struck, div

Money In Wall Street.

New Workers are noted for being
scramblers after money. But they are
just as remarkable for the risks they
take with it when they get it. A man

pocket of his overcoat. He had an UNI

For several hundred years and down
to u comparatively recent date, money
was coined at from twenty-five to thirty
different cities in France that had in
herited the privilege. Now all French
money is coined at the Paris mint and
bears, instead of the etfigy of some dis
tinguished person, a head representing
the republic, or liberty in the more
general sense.
Few French gold pieces are however
in circulation, except those bearing the
head of Napoleon Ill, and silver pieces
of the same coinage are almost as COM

X, Louis XVIII and Napoleon are

Names OF the Mississippi River.

source Of the Mississippi it was known
as Pe-he-ton-at, an Algonquin signitica-

that an analysis of the word shows that
it does not mean father of waters
"Mis-sisk" means grass" 'Mis-sisk-ke-

herbs" and "Mis-ku-tuk' 1.-THE broad
tribes inhabiting the bottom lands were
called Mis-shu-tan or meadow people.

literal meaning of the word is ''the river
of meadows of grass" But it is believed
that the latter designation is fanciful

tive information which has come down
to us.

Great Feet for u Horse.

son, a Swamp veteran:
Years ago we used to keep horses on
the ground floor. A man down the
street had one in his cellar for years and
never had him shod in all that time He
was in damp place, and this fact,
coupled with the one that he had never
worn shoes, transformed his feet into
curiosities. Upon my word, his feet
were foot long and shaped just like a
mans. They turned up at the ends like
