A MONKEY AND TERRIER TIME.

Toward horses and cows, and TO other
animals "big and unpleasant" TO him,
Bob, the monkey held a great dislike.
When Billy, the saddle horse, came near
him, Bob would crouch like an angry
cat, erecting his hair, humping his back,
and scolding vehemently. When in his
judgment he was safely out OF Billy's
reach, he would advance boldly and
scold loudly. When he thought Billy
too near, he became as small and incon-
spicuous as possible, to avoid the horses
notice. At one time he was placed on
Billy's back. where he went into spasms
OF fear. When taken into the house, he
grew bolder, and, climbing on the back
of a chair, he described his adventures
volubly and with many gestures TO his
friend Otaki, who understood it all.
TO the big dog Rover he also had
strong objections. Rover looked down
on Bob with tolerant contempt, as dis
agreeable being, not to be shaken like
rat because possibly human. But when
Bob would strike him in the face with
the fiat of his hand, Rover would snap
at him, barking Indignantly; but he
never caught him, and Bob was careful
TO keep out of his reach. His discretion
could be counted on TO get the better OF
his courage. With the little terrier,
Dandy, Bob's relations were often
friendly, although there was very little
mutual trust. At one time Dandy was
deep in the ivy in search Of a rat, while
Bob had also entered the ivy by another
opening for other reasons. They met in
the dark in rat-hole through the ivy
leaves, and a sharp conflict ensued,
marked by much scolding on the one
part and pulling of hair aud barking on
the other When Dandy had dragged
Bob to the light, both were very much
surprised, and they parted with mutual
apologies and much shamcfacedness.- -

A NEW FIELD FOR WOMEN.

A new field now opening to the enter
prisng young woman is that Of private
secretary to ladies Of wealth and leisure.
Not few such keep private secretary,
and they manage TO find enough for
them to do. This is very responsible
position, for the secretary practically has
the key TO all the secrets OF her EN-
ployer. Those who serve as secretaries
for more than one woman must have
their tongues under good control, be-
cause there would be such great tcmpta-
tion to give away secrets. Women OF
wealth and high social standing have
great need for private secretaries, for
they have u great deal of writing to do
in addition to receiving visitors and re-
turning calls Pittsburg Commercial

FASHION NOTES.
New opcra-cloaks are very long some
them have trains of thirty inches or
more. They are literally masses OF EN-
broidery and other elegant decorations.
Very narrow edgings Of fur are fash
ionable. They are used TO trim capes,
dresses and bonnets.
Chenille embroidery is one of the com-
ing garnitures for rich and ceremonious
costumes.
A turquoise tinted bowl with a flat
cover of enamel is pretty salt cellar.
Glass vases of green and gold, white
and gold and violet tinted are pretty for
flowers.
A great many shawls are being worn,
and it is predicted that the shawl, which
has been practically abandoned for years
past, will again become fashionable
wrap. The great objection to this Is
that shawls are becoming to but very few
persons. They are, however, among the
most convenient and manageable OF
wraps.

slitv was pracsd by a collection of native

ality was graced by collection Of native
fans, crude. curious, costly and lovely.
Among these, although but few persons
perhaps noticed them, were the fans from
Liberia. They we're in size and shape
like large palm leaf fan. only they were
made of pieces OF stiffened goat skin,
with the hair left on. The handle was
a rudely cut bit OF white wood.
The native South American fan is
hatchet. shaped piece Of loosely braided
bamboo, with a slit in the side for q
handle.
The Corean fan is round fan Of reeds,
covered with isinglass. These fans have
curious green aud red decoration.
They are water proof, and the Corean
ladies dip them in water and fan with
them while wet.
In the Samoan village the fans are
pointed and decidedly Egyptian in shape:
They are made Of stained and braided
grasses and are very pretty indeed.
In the woman's building fine fan Ga.
hibited was a genuine Vernis Martin
that is, painted by him. II was valued
at $500.
Ia the German exhibit an ostrich fan
made of long white plumes on tortoise.
shell sticks was marked 5000. An odd
fan in this collection was an owls wing
set in tortoise shell. Here, also. was an
eagles wino fan, and a lace fan, the
sticks jeweled with opals.
But the fans from Japan were really
the most delightful Of all-masses OF
marvellous embroidery-dainty paper
delicately painted, all set on ornamented
sticks of lacquered wood or metal. A
curious and peculiar decoration is TO

BosroN's ELEVATOR GIRL.

Boston has had a woman hosting pas
sengers up into the air several stories for
several years. Out ut Wellesley College,
too, a woman has done the same act for
long, long time. The elevator referred

One girl pulled the rope for more than
five years. She was active and intelli-
gent-too active and intelligent to re-
main in such position all her life. At
last came her opportunity. Glasses in
convalesoent nursing were opened. She
attended evenings after the duties of the
day were done. Then, too, she studied
in the elevator car at odd intervals. Her
course finished, she obtained employ
ment as nurse, and presumably is 80

Longest Speech on Record.

The late effort OF Senator Allen, "the
gentleman from Nebraska" at long
winded spcechmaking has again raised
the question as to possibilities in that
line as we'll as to the results OF previous
attempts. Parliamentarians and orators
in general claim that no man could talk
coherently on single subject for more
than six hours, yet hundreds OF cases to
the contrary could be cited. Still 1t
might be proven that in each case all
kinds Of extraneous matter was forced IN
10 the speech. But that a man can talk,
and talk logically, not upon single SUBJ
ject perhaps, but upon the main points
in the argument and other matter apper-
tanning thereto, for whole day, a
day and q night, is a matter Of history.
When De Cosmos defended the set
tiers land bill in the lower house OF the
British Columbian Parliament, he talked
continually for twenty.si hours. The
act contiscating the property of De
Cosmos constituents had to be passed
by noon of a certain day; De Cosmos
was the only defender. He took the
floor at 9:j5 o'clock the day previous to
the date when the law would become a
dead letter and kept it until 12:O5 the
following day. 1t is said that his tongue
and lips were cracked in hundreds OF
places and his shirt front covered with
blood.
A speech eleven hours longer than the
British Columbian's famous argument
was delivered in the Roumsnian Chamber
of Deputies in 1887. 1t was on the oc-
oason of the impeachment of ex-Minis-
ter Bratiano, the leading Deputy sup
porting the articles of Impeachment
talking continuously for thirty-seven
hours.-ISt Louis Republic.
