There lived, many years ago, in

attaiuments, and who liked to show

One of these, said by those who have
seen it TO be anything but valuable.

tween Ireland and England.
Meeting witty acquaintance some
days after the publication of his PAM
phlet, Bethel was asked by him why
he had not informed him of its ap-
pearance.

written it, Bethel,n said the witty ac-
quaintance. "l never saw it until
yesterday, and only then by the merest
accideni.'
"Wcll, how did you like it?' asked
Bethel, who was fond of praise, and
was anxious to hear what was forth
coming 10 crafty his vanity.
"How did like it9a repeated the
other. "Why, it contained some Of
the best things ever saw in PAM

tion that should have great weight In

tion has increased at a rate of nearly
twenty-five per cent, and we now

even If the same rate is not main

What To Do with The Indians.

How TO lake care OF the Indians has
always been grave question with
the government There are only 246,-
sS4 Indians in the country (about as
tsany as there are inhabitants of New
Orleans), and it would be an easy
matter for this rich government to
supply them all with homes and food,
give them a little money, and let
them take care of themselves. But
this would be the worst thing that
could happen to them. They are
naturally inclined to work. and if the
nation supported them in idlencss they
would soon be in a more dcplorable
condition than when they ran wild on
the plains. For loo many years tile
only effort to civilize them was made
with soldiers aud rifles. Now. how
ever, more humane and wiser policy
is in force, and it is sought TO educate
and ciyilize them 10 such an extent
that they will soon ming'e with the
white population and become good
American citizens.
1--WE fluid them American Indians;
VIC wish TO make them Indian Amerl-
cans" Commissioner Morgan says.
lie means that instead of remaining
li.lle separate nations, they are to be-
come a part of the great body of pco-
pie, just as our foreign immigrants
do. But it would not do to throw
them upon their own resources with
ou' separation. They have no idea
Of farming, of housekeeping, of home
iife, Of The arts or sciences, or any of
lie attributes of civilization. They
know nothing of railways or tele-
graphs, plum puddings or Santa
Claus; they cannot, in general, read
or write. and most of them cannot
speak the English language. To fit
them to become citizens they must lie
educated, and certainly the education
must begin with the little Indians.
"Takc care of The old Indians, and
teach the young Indians 10 take care
Of themseivcs.' This is the Indian
policy III a d,zsn words. To teach
the young Indians there must be
schools and teachers, and the Indian
bureau devotes large part of its
time and money to opening and sup
porting schools for Indian children
between tho ages OF six aud sixteen.
Among the 246. sS4 Indians in tile
country (this does not include tho
Alaska Indians) there are %, 900 child
rem between these ages; but there are
Eve civilized tribes which educate their
own children, and some siates-Ncw
York, for instauce-iake care of and
educate their own Indians; so that
there are only about Sc, Indian
children 10 be educated by the nation
al government. Fifteen thousand Of
these now go to school, and provision
has still to be made for the other 21,-
900. Only $4,000 of these neglected

No one will doubt that monkeys
have a keen sense of humor which
enables them to relish a joke 1t IL
not to be supposed that they care
whether the fun is at the expense Of
one Of their own species Of ours!
Their jokes are necessarily practical.
In the New Review Mr.. R. S Garner
describes one OF these.
In large cage in the Philadelphia
Garden were kept at one time about
twenty monkeys. Among them were
two big, wise-looking apes with gray
boards and hair, and with the mleu
of stOics. They had very long
straight tails, and habit OF sitting
high up from the ground, and allow
ing their tails to hang at full length.
In the same cage were three or four
brown Cebus monkeys, who were
much devoted to exercise and fun.
While the big monkeys would cling
to the side Of the cage, or sit on a
perch some ten or twelve feet from
the ground, one Of he little brown
monkeys would stealthily creep up to
one Of them, and suddenly grasp the
end Of the long tail and swing with
all his might. OF course the @big
'un" could not lift his tail because of
the little monkey clinging to it. He
could only climb down the side OF the
cage with his burden until he could
reach the floor
During this operation the brown
monkey kept swinging until his own
tail touched the floor, at which in5
stant he would release his hold and
spring to the topof the cage, followed
by the outraged monkey amid the
screams of the Others.
Blythe time he had reached a point
where he could attack his little tor
menter, who would show some signs
of resistance, ana eause MIN to pausd
for moment, another brown monkey
would seize his long tail and take
swing.
