A PET ORANG-OUTANG.
Some OF the Queer Animals Marked Pc
culiarities.

Some OF the Queer Animals Marked Pc
culiarities.
Borneo is the home of the orang-
outang. which. leaving out the genus
man, occupies the third place from the
highest in the animal kingdom. The
gorilla has the highest place, the chin
panzee comes next in order, then the
orang. The males are as fond of fight
ing as are human roughs, and. like
them, bite off each others fingers and
lips.
They all show, in human like way,
the emotions of pain, rage, satisfaction
and affection. Baby orangs range, as
human infants do. from good to bad.
Some, when they are good, are ''very
good, Indeed" and others. when they
are bad, ''are horrid." Mr.. Hornaby,
the naturalist, took baby orang from
its dead mother. shot in the cause of
science, which had the temper of a
tiger.
An orang's instinct is to seize and
bring an offending hand to its mouth,
that it may bite the member. This
baby orang, though only six months
old, made so many attempts to put the
naturalist's hands'up to its mouth that
he was obliged to tie it's elbows to-
gether behind It's back.
Even then, when he was not watch
ing it, the orang rolled over and seized
the calf of his leg between his teeth.
But for the hunting trousers and
woolen stockings, the naturalist would
have lost piece of his leg. At last it
relieved the naturalist of anxiety by
dying. A baby orang of a more gentle
disposition was brought to Mr.. Horn
ably with its hands and feet bound
When he approached it, instead of
attempting to bite, it whined softly
and rolled up its big brown eyes so ap-
pealingly that the naturalist cut it's
bonds and placed it on pile of soft
straw. 1t soon became pet and was
named ''Old Man. on account of it's
bald head and an air of profound
gravity. 1t was fond of being held in
the naturalist's arms, and when he
grew tired it would grasp the folds of
his flannel shirt and hold itself. thus
showing it's superiority to helpless hue
man infants
1t would lie on Mr.. Hornabv's lap
while he was writing, reading or eat
ing, and amuse itself by catching hold
of his penholder or book or by Juggling
at the tablechoth. It's favorite food
was bananas and sugar, but it learned
to relish rice, cooked meat, canned
fruit and bread, and to drink tea and
coffee, milk and chocolate Beer, wine
or spirits it would not touch.
The baby did its best to amuse its
master. Drawing his hand to its
mouth and make pretence of biting
and making wry faces were its favorite
tricks. If the naturalist sat down to
meal and began to eat without feed
ing the baby, it would whine, scream,
throw itself on the floor on its back
and kick like spoiled child
It's happiness was complete when its
master permitted the baby to sleep
with him. 1t would lie sprawling up
on Mr.. Hornaby's breast. with its head
on his shoulder, its face close to his
neck, and it's arms and legs clasping
his body. 1t could not learn to swim,
and, on Mr.. Hornaby putting it in the
water. sank helplessly, as if it had
been an iron barn. Y. journal.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.-Senator Harris of
Tennessee, who is third in order of prefer
ence of the members of the committee on
finance, and who was one o. the foremost
of the southern champions of silver in
the recent debate in the senate, is not in
clined to believe that the silver question
will be seriously revived in congress early
in the approaching regular session. DIS
cussing the question. he said there were
other important subjects which would de-
mand attention, and would probably take
precedence of the silver question for the
present.
THAT subject has," he said, "had such a
thorough overhauling of late and the re-
suit has been SO opposite TO what the silver
men desired that | fancy they will be dis
posed to allow the subject to remain quiet
for the present. OF course" he added,
there Will be many silver bills intro
be discussed iii committee, If not In the
senate and house"
do you think," " was asked, "that there
is any truth in the report that Senator
Voorhees, will introduce free coinage
bill at the beginning of the sessiouY"
In explanation of this query it should be
stated that there has for the past week
been a story current about the senator
that Mr.. Voorhees, had said that he would
present such bill with the opening of the
regular session. His record is that OF a
silver advocate. and even during the con-
test over the DILL Tor the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause OF the Sherman act he
always professed 10 have as great interest
in the white metal as ever before. When
questioned upon the subject of his future
Intentions with regard to financial legisla-
tion Mr.. Voorhees, parried the blow by
asking, ''Do you suppose | am one-bill
mau?" but declined TO outline his lnten-
tious.
Senator Harris. replying to the question
concerning Mr.. Voorhees, intentions, said:
Il am sure Fcan not say what Mr.. Voor
hees will be, but | should not be surprised
at all ii he should introduce free coin
age bill, as is reported. Such an act would
not be inconsistent. | have said that Mr..
VOORHEES, is as strong believer in silver
as | am, and in making that statement L
put on record my honest convictions"
Senator Harris also expressed the opin-
ion that there would be "A determined effort
TO have the state bank law repealed, and
thought there was fair chance of securing
this legislation. Mr.. Harris was asked
what he thought of the prospect of issuing
bonds, and whether he thought the secre-
tary of the treasury had the right to coin
the silver bullion III the treasury. To the
latter question he replied thnt the secre-
tary uuuuestonably has that right, and
M. Harris Lnougnt III very proper thlnS
to do. He thought it quite likely that the
bond issue would occupy fair share of
the attention of congress during the pres
ent Term, but no one eau say now what
will be done. It is Impossible, he says, to
forcsee what the necessities of the treasury
may be.
Il prefer" he said, s'to wait and see
what the wishes OF the secretary of the
treasury may be with reference to bonds
before speaking upon the advisability of
their issuance"

Dangers of the Season.

The sudden changes IN weather in the
latter part OF the winter and early spring
are II source of colds and coughs. This
season is a particularly dangerous one
for persons with, weak lungs or delicate
constitution. a slight cold is likely to
become a serious one and the cough that
follows is the one great cause of the
many deaths from consumption in the
early spring. Never neglect II cold or
cough. Keep Il reliable remedy on hand
and check the first cough, that may lead
TO consumption. As such a remady the
medicine called kemp's Balsam is
strongly recommended. For every form
OF throat and lung disorder, including
the Ia grippe cough, Group aud consup-
ton i'll first stages, it probably has no
equal anywhere. Get a bottle to-day.
