The Monkey Language.

nearly six months in cages in the heart of
Africa, where he went to study the simian
language, Is reported by the European
Herald to have said that he is satisfied
that the natives are right in their assertion
that monkeys converse and use language
which is nvariable and constant.
In his sojourn in the wilds of Africa he
found out much that upset all pet scien-
tihc theories about gorillas. He also dis
covered that the gorilla and chimpanzce
are not on speaking terms. This is due not
TO any inimical feeling, but to the fact that
the language" of the one is different from
the Language" Of the other, and they have
not yet gone as far in civilization as the
making Of grammars and dictionaries for
the purposes of translation.

How 20 Caro- For Canarlrs.

Keep tho canary scrupulously clean.
The cage should be strewn every rnor,.-
ing with clean sand or fnc gravel.
Fresh water must bo given every day,
both for drinking and bathing-the lat
ter being in shallow vessel and during
the molting season small bit OF iron
should be put in the water for drink
ing. Tho food should consist princi-
pally of summer rape seed-that is, of
those small blown rape seeds which are
obtained from plants sown in the spring
and which ripen during the summer.
A little chickweed in spring, lettuce
leaves In summer and endive in au-
tumn, with slices Of sweet apple in
winter, may be safely given, but bread
and sugar ought TO be generally avoid
ed. Occasionally few poppy or cana
ry seeds, and small quantity of bruis-
ed hempseed may be added, but the last
very spariDgly. During the winter the
cage should never be hung In a room
without fire, but oven then, when tho
air is mild and the sun shines bright,
have the window open. The cage should
never bo less than inches in diameter
and foot high, with perches at differ
snt heights.

Departures From Normal Forms Occasion
ally Seen In Fruits and Flowers.
Few things are more instructive than the
variations from normal forms occasionally
seen in fruits and flowers. The departures
from the original condition are supposed to
illustrate the path 10y which changes in ma
ture travel. Meehan. in his Illustrated
Monthly, tells that II has been known from
vagaries Of little plants growing out of a
strawberry that there is practically little
difference between the seed and the bud.
This knowledge may easily be gained from
our common species of garlic in which, in
stead of flowers In the head. small bulblets
appear.
A bulblet is nothing more than bud.
In the strawberry the receptacle becomes
feshy and the seeds are placed on the sur
face

to wed the Princess Maud, Of Wales, and
the question is asked. What effect will
this have on Irish politics and the re
forms that the liberal party under the
leadership Of Gladstone have come 80
near accomplishing ?" We believe Lond
Kusebery to be a worthy successor to the
Grand Old Man aud this alliance with
royalty will III nOwisr check the enthu-
siasm with which he has taken up the
burden which Gladstone was forced to
lay down on account Of the Intiunities Of
age. OF his honesty Of purpose no one
cau doubt who read his burning words

rank and birth count for ~ much, said
there would be 10 step backward. That
if the house Of lords insisted uPOn stand

RECIPROCITY.

IT was eonteHded from the beginning.
by the Democratic party that the reel
proeity law Of the Republican congress
that passed the Mckinley bill, intended
to sweeten that measure after Mr. Biain's
severe denunciatiOn Of the same, has
been delusion aud a snare. While it
has undoubtedly been Of great benefit to
some Of the nations with whom treaties
have been made in accordance with its
provisions, little or no reciprocal benefit
has been derived by the citizens Of this
country. 1t has provided free market
for foreign goods in this country, but
1t w0uld seem that although the duty
was renewed, these same countries had
no use for our products, being able to
buy to a better advantage elsewhere. for
the reason that our restrictive tariff pre-
vents us from competing in the open
market with other counties While
this reciprocity law has been a matter Of
small Importance heretofore, il is now a
thing Of serious Importance to the sugar
interests Of this state. The treaties

THE TARIFF

The bill rs reported by the senate
eommitte will Proably pass without any
further important change. The most i'm
pOFtant change made by the senate com
mite was the taking of sngar from the
free list and recommending a duty Of one
and quarter cents per pound.
Since the tariff bill was reported 10 the
senate the republicans have been max
Ing desperate and concerted attempts to
make it appear that there is formidable
democratic opposition to the bill in the
senate. That the bill will be changed
before it passes the senate is altogether
probable, inasmueh as it will produce in
its present form, according to the latest
estimates, something like $4,000, 600
more than will be required. and it is the
policy Of the democrats only 30 levy
sufficient taxes to raise the money neees-
sary to run the government. Democratic
senators who favor changes locking To-
wards a reduction of the revenue to the
amount required will state their reasons
and ask their democratic colleagues for
their votes TO make them, but it is not
believed that any of them will seek re,
publican votes 80 get those-ehangesr 0I
will vote against the bill shoHld the
changes desired not be made.
