Something to Remember,

if you're a weak or ailing woman
that there's only one medicine so sure
to help you that it can be guaranteed.
Its DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
In building up over-worked, feeble,
delecate women, or in any female
complaint or weakness, if ii ever fails
to benefit or cure, you have your
money back. It's an invigorating,
restorative tonic, a soothing and
strengthening nervine, and a safe and
certain remedy for woman's Ills and
ailments. 1t regulates and promotes
all the proper functions, improves di-
gestion, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, brings refreshing
sleep, and restores health and strength.
Nothing else can be as cheap. With
this, you pay only for the good you
get.

MONKEY WORKMEN.
Apes That Possess the knowledge of
Pottery Making.

ioticry haktnS'
An extraordinary story is told by the
London Daily News, which states that
Or. Mcgowan lately returned to
Tient-sin, bringing with him, among
other curious discoveries, some partic-
ulars of race of Manchurian monkeys
inhabiting the mountain region of the
Great Wall of China. They are said to
know how to make pottery; more re-
markable still, they are represented as
having made extraordinary progress in
the art of making wine. A recent edi-
ton of the official history of Yungping
states that lately large body of i'm
migrating monkeys passed a certain
village in crossing from one mountain
To another. The boys of the village
clapped their hands and shouted at the
spectacle, and the monkeys, being
frightened, fed, taking their young in
their arms, but dropping in their flight
q number of carthen vessels, some of
which would hold a quart. On open
ing these, the villagers found they
contained two kinds of wine, a pink
and green, that had been made from
mountain berries. 1t is affirmed that
The monkeys store this liquor for use
in the winter when the water is all
frozen. Dr. Mcgowan cites other in
dependent testimonies to similar facts,
including Chinese account OF mon
keys in Cheliang who pound fruit in
stone mortars TO make into wine.

Want to Sell Exhibits,

General A. B. Nettleton, ex-As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, and
Colonel Alex ID. Anderson, as attor-
neys for nearly two thousand foreign
exhibitors at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, had hearing before the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House, and the Finance Committee
of the Senate, Tuesday. They asked,
first that during the brief remainder
of the exposition period they be al
lowed, under regulations and limitation
to be fixed by the Treasury Depart
ment and the Exposition management
to sell goods for current delivery, and
second, that for customs purposes the
appraisal of goods sold to be reduced
fifty per cent. They urged among
other considerations these: The
deterioration from transportation and
exposure, has materially reduced the
selling value of many of these exhibi-
ted goods, but the appraisals for Gus.
toms purposes are fully up to the IN
voice value.
The bulk Of the goods to be sold
under the proposed legislation is of
such character as not to enter into
competition with articles of American
manufacture.
Similar action was had after the
Philadelphia Centennial Exposition
in 1876. \ bill to carry out these
purposes has been introduced into
the House by Mr. Durborow

Little Mistress.
4 writer in Our Animal Friends re-
lates story of two fox-terriers, Tan
and Tally, which belonged to physi-
clan in southern California, and were
the playmates of his little daughter
Mabel. They had been her compan-
ions from her baby hood, and she was
now five years old. On the day in
question she and they were froliclsing
in the garden, when the little girls at
tention was attracted by peculiar
noise in bush at her elbow.
She peered into the branches to see
what had made the noise. Instantly
the head of a snake reared itself before
her, and the sound of its rattles was
repeated. Mabel stood rs If fascinated.
The gardener, at work not far off,
screamed to her to run, and hurried as
fast as he could to her rescue. Hurry
as he might, however, he would have
been too late but for the dogs.
They saw the little girls danger, and
threw themselves between her and 1t,
worrying the snake till the man could
come up and kill it. They were quite
aware of their own danger; again and
again, when camping ont with their
master they had shown the greatest
terror at the sound of a snakes rattles;
but they could not see the child in
jured
When the mother came in answer to
the shouts of the gardener, she found
Mabel safe, but both dogs were already
in the agonies of death.

An Austrian Edltor who Cried "wolf !
Wolf" when There Was No Wolf
The Kleine Zeitung relates a story
of the Austrian censorship of the press.
The editor of small provincial print
was either in great difficulty to find
fit subject for his leading article, or
else was too intent upon other busi-
ness or upon pleasure to provide one.
The last moment had come, and the
editor was in despair. He tortured his
brain in vain, when he was suddenly
inspired by a happy thought, and
dashed off the following lines: After
carefully perusing the leading article
written for the present number by one
of the ablest of our contributors, we
have arrived at the conclusion that it
may be nisinterpreted by the author
titles and regarded as an attack upon
the government. We ourselves con-
slider it to be perfectly innocent, but
as we - unwilling, for our readers
sake, as well us for our own, TO have
our newspaper confscated, we have
very unwillingly, though, as we think,
prudently, resolved to withdraw the
article. This must serve as the apol-
ogy 10 our readers for the blank space
in our present issue" The journal
was published in the evening, and the
sly editor, after performing this smart
little piece of stratagem, left the office
in high good humor with himself. As
soon as he arrived in the Office on the
following morning n clerk came up to
him with doleful expression and said:
''Herr Redaktor, the paper is confis-
Gated by the police!' For what rea-
son?" said the astonished editor "For
malicious ridicule of the institutions
of the Austrian empire by the omission
of the leading article, " replied the man.

THE HABIT OF ORUDGERY.
Some Advantages and Othcrwisc OF Uav-
Ing a DIstinguished Hrothcr.

ing Distinguished Brothcr.
Since my brother Mundanus has be-
come rich and famous as the author
and autocrat of the bootjack trust, l
have been very strongly tempted TO
stop working for myself and arrange
with him for my support, says writ
er In Scribncr's. II may be that I shall
conclude that the habit of drudgery is
too firmly fixed on me to be thrown off
with inpunity, so that perhaps shall
elect 20 go on working; but II | do 1t
| will be in the nature of sclf-indulgcncc,
maintained for more personal case,
against my conviction of what Is just
and right.
For my argument is, and it Is con-
ccivcd on general and impersonal
grounds. and founded without prcju-
dice on dispassionate observation. that
a comfortable maintenance without
work is a very moderate set.off to any
ordinary man for the Inconvenience
and dctrimcnt of having an immodcr-
ntcly successful brother. The reason
lies in the incorrigible tendency of So
cicty to measure brothers by the same
standard When they are little society
puts them back to back and observes
which is the taller When they are
grown It piles their achievements or
rcnown or incomes up side by side,
and remarks which pile is bigger.
Mr. RoclSefcllcr's or Mr.. Astors in
come may run up into the millions,
without making anyone think the
worse Of my capacity; but ever since it
became known that Mundanus was
getting fifty thousand dollars year
Cargoly payable in Bootiacl5 stock. as
l happen to know, but the public
Doesn't, it has been imputed to me as
a fault, and somewhat of disgrace,
that my in-takings were not so large.
However conscicntiously n man may
have used the talents given him, and
whatever progress he may have made
in life, if it bc his misfortune to have
meteoric brother who has sailed con-
spicuous where he has had TO plod. and
arrived glorious where he has sweated
in patient aspiration, the slow-gaited
man is bound 10 suffer as l do. by dis
paraging comparison with his ocupod
fellow of the Same brood.

We Live Too Rapidly.
THAT is THE OPINION OF A JAvANESE
GIRL AT THE FAIR.

"At home we are happy and live
our lives slowly. Here people live
lives in one day" Thus spoke Ejot,
a Javanese girl who is visiting the
Worlds Fair, in response to a repor-
ter's desire to known how she liked
Chicago. Her ready perception of
chief points of difference between
oriental and American life stamps
Ejot as a person of discrimination.
She speaks patronizingly of our insti-
tutions and laments our bad taste, but
thinks we may improve in this respect
as the country is young"
"America is large, strange and cold"
she said. "l'he climate seems to me
to affect the people and make them
rough and noisy. | never heard SO
much noise in my life. In my home
we do not make great noise. The
ladies are the most beautiful things in
America, but they are very strange to
me. They always want to shake
hands. Then they kiss each other.
do not like that. In my country we
only kiss our mother and sisters.
Their dress is beautiful. Their form
is strange.
Il will some day get an American
lady's dress and put it on just to see
how look. No one will ever see
me with it on. l should be ashamed.

NOT SELF~SLAUGHTERERS.
snakes and Scorpions DO Not Commit Sui
eide, as Has Been Supposed.


Writing to Nature Prof Ray Lam
kester says: 1.-THE letter of Edward S.
Holden on this subject is extremely in
teresting. 1t appears that he, like
other individuals who have imagined
that they have witnessed the suicide
of scorpions, have fallen into the er-
ror (so common in the Interpretation
of biological as distinguished from
abiological phenomena) of stating his
inferences and beliefs as though
they were observations. The instance
which occurred before my eyes Ito
quote his words, which remind one Of
the old herbalist, Gerard) was simply
that of n snake biting itself when i'm
prisoned in jar of water. That the
blow was deliberate Intentional =
and of suicidal purpose is pure spccu-
lation, and nothing occurred before
Mr.. Holden's eyes to warrant his en-
tertaining such a notion. Had Mr..
Holden been aware that the poison of
the rattlesnake has little or no effect
upon another rattlesnakc nor upon the
individual from which the poison is
furnished he would probably have
been less ready to conclude that the
bite was one Of suicidal purpose He
would then perhaps have inquired as
to the depth to which the bite pene-
trated into the tissues of the snake
and how far such superficial bite as
a snake can inilict upon part of its
own body is likely I'm the absence of
any poisonous action) TO be seriously
injurious 70 the snake. In this case,
as in that of the scorpion confined in
a fiery circle (experimentally studied
both by myself and by Prof. Bourne,
of Madras, and reported on in the pro-
ceedings Of the Linngan society and
the Royal society, the spasmodic
struggles of an animal artificially con-
fined and tortured have been, as we
clearly demonstrated, mistaken for
efforts at self-destruction. The biting
of its own body by the snake may be
justly compared with the biting the
dust attributed TO men who die in
hand-to-hand struggle or to the biting
of their own hand or arm by unhealthy
children when suffering from a par
oNysm of anger"
