Monkeys and Their Sick.

Monkeys, with some notable excep-
tions, are some degrees worse than saw
age men in their treatment of the sick.
On the new Junna caual at Delhi
monkeys swarm in trees upon the banks
and treat their sick comrades in true
monkey fashion.
The colony by the canal being over
crowded. and as II consequence un-
healthy, did and probably does still suf-
fer from various unpleasant diseases.
When one monkey is so obviously I'M
we'll as to offend the feelings of the
others, few Of the larger monkeys watch
it, and taking favorableopportunity
knock it into the canal. If it is not
drowned at once. the sick monkey is
pitched in again after it regains the trees
and either drowned or forced to keep
aloof from the flock.
At the London Geological garden the
monkeys torment sick one without
mercy, and unless it is at once removed
from the cage it has little chance of re-
covery. The small monkeys bite and
pinch it. The larger ones swing it
around by the tail. When it dies, as
many monkeys as can find room sit on
it's body -s,vchsn~e

Westminster Abbey,

Rev DR.. Charles Cox read a paper at
the sixteenth annual meeting of the So
ciety For the Protection of Ancient
Buildings, in which, after reciting a
number of historic incidents associated
with the ediice, he said it was estimated
that room could be found for the burial
Of 95 more persons at the outside within
the abbey. Therefore, at the more care
fully ordered rate of recent interments,
it looked as if no pressing care for ad-
ditional space might arise for another
century. The walls, however, were so
crowded that no part of them was avail
able for a single statue. If place for
really national monumental inscriptions
was required it would have to be sub
iect to some such regulations as govern
the national portrait gallery, where it
was standing rule that persons repre-
sented and received should be dead not
less than 10 years, so as to guard against
newspaper fame and undue influence

"And you would have me for a bride.
Ride over yonder plain and bring
Your flask full from the Mustang spring;
Fly, fast as ever eagles wing
Ger the Llano Estacadoi"
He heard and bowed without word;
His gallant steed he lightly spurred;
He turned bis face and rode away
Toward thG grave of dying day
And vanished with its parting ray
On the Llano Estacado.
Night came and found him riding on:
Day came, and still he rode alone;
He spared not spur, he drew not rein
Across that broad, unchanging plain,
Till he the Mustang spring might gain
On the Ilano Estacado.
A little rest, little draft
Hot from his hand and quickly quaffed;
His fiaskwas filed, and. then he turned,
Once more his steed the maguay spurned;
Once more the sky above him burned
On the Llano Estacado.
How hot the quivering landscape glowed!
His brain seemed boiling as he rode;
Was it dream, drunken one,
Or was he really riding on2
Wes that o skull that cleaned and shone
On the Iilano Estacado?
Tsrave steed of mine, brave steed!" he
cried,
$50 often true, SO often tried,
Bear up little longer yeti"
His mouth was black with blood and sweat,
ueavenl how he longed his lips to wet
On the Llano Estacado.
And still within his breast he held
x.he precious flask so lately filed.
oh, for drink But well he knew,
II empty it should meet her view,
Her scorn, but still his longing grew
On the I4ano Estacado.
His horse went down. He wandered on.
Gi,Siy, blind, beaten and alone.
While on a cushioned couch you lie,
Or, thins how hard it is to die
Beneath tho cruel, cloudlcss sky,
On the Lano Estacado.
At last he staggered, stumbled, fell,
His day was done be knew full well,
And raising 70 his lips the flask,
The end, tho object OF his task,
Drank to her, more she could not ask.
Ali The Llano Estacado!
That night in the Presidio,
Beneath the terchlghts' wavy glow.
She danced and never thought of him,

Lying, with face Tpturned and grim,
On the Llano llstacado.

to stir up the bitter feelings again

of blessed peace and beaming hope
