A White BabOOn.

The white baboon which recently ar.
rived in England is a representative Of
species extremely rare-so rare indeed
that not only is this the only specimen
in captivity, but its existence has been
regarded as chimerical The animal
now in England was captured two years
ago from its mother when quite baby,
by party of Trek Beers in the Muir,
chisas range district of Johannesburg
Since that time the baby has developed
into full grown baboon Of nearly
feet in height During the voyage from,
the cape it suffered terribly from sea
sickness, but has now quite recovered
its health and activity. The fur is per-
fectly white and very long In spite of
its mature age milk is still its favorir,
food. London Graphic.

Kiss Her and Tell Her So.

Integrity of character, right sense
of honor, manliness and respect for
what is pure and good are all adiuncts
to the perfect happiness of married life,
writes Mary J. Holmes in answer to
the question "What Cor stitutes a Good
Husband?" in the July LADIES' Home
Journal. But most natures crave more
than these, and what they crave is go
easy to give that l wonder it is ever
withheld. Said a woman of her hus-
band who, when living, stood high
with his fellowmen and surrounded
her with every luxury: 81 loved him
most for his kind thoughtfulness and
delicate attentions which made me feel
that | was as dear to him after years of
marriage as on the first day be called
me his wife" And this, think, is
the secret Of some women's happiness.
1t is not enough for a man to make a
woman his wife, and after few weeks
or months of attention ignore her with
feeling that because he has chosen
her to bear his name she must be for
ever satisfied, with no further demon
stration of his love. Women like DEM
onstratons, and there is world of
good advice in the two lines of an old
ballad l lately read:
"If your wife is dearer to you than life,

A New Metal.

The low price of silver in Paris has
stimulated the inventive genius Of a
manufacturer, who has consequently
made new metal by means of an alloy
Of copper and silver, using the success
full proportions of the two. He has real
ly obtained an entirely new metal, one
Of a most extraordinary degree OF
strength and most valuable for resisting
sudden or long sustained strains There
seems little doubt that the cost of pro
duction will not be so great as to pre-
vent its large use in the future, even
should silver greatly increase in value.
To the low price of silver will be credit
ed the idea of using it as an amalgam
for specially high class of metal

Darling.
Selected.

The author of the following beautiful
penn is unknown.
little maid with sweet blue eyes
Looked upward with shy surprise
Because asked her name;
Awhile she bent her golden head
While DER her face soft bushes spread
Like some swift rosy flannel
Then looking up, she softly said,
" My name is Mammals Darling"
Tell me your mothers name, my dear"
And STOPPING low | paused to hear
The little maid seemed musng;
"why, mammals names like mine, you know,
But just because we love her So
We call her Mamma Darling"
TELL me your papa's name" cried
The little maiden's eyes grew wide
My papa? Don't you know
Why, ever since the baby died
Mamma and l have always tried
To cheer him from his sorrowing;
And my mamma and love best
To call him Papa Darling"
"what did you call the baby, dear?"
The answer came quite low but clear:
The baby-oh, wonder what
They call him now in heaven;
But we had only one name here,
And that was Baby Darling"
Swift years flew by, and once again
That little maid so tender
Stood by my side, but she had grown
Like lillies tall and slender;
This time twas | that called her name
And swift the bushes grew like fame
At rosy mist of morning;
casped her in my arms and kissed
My tender hearted Darling.

The cause is some arrangement of the
uterus or womb. Backache is the sure
symptom.
For years Sarah Holstein, who lives at
7 Perry Street, in Lowell, Mass, suffered
with falling of the womb. The best doc
tors failed to relieve her, and as a last
resort she purchased six bottles of Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Now she is well woman.
The dreadful pain in her back stopped
after taking the second bottle. She
wishes she had taken it sooner, and
saved both money and years of suffering.
This Vegetable Compound is the one
unfailing remedy for such troubles A
woman discovered it and gave it towoman.

MISCELLANY.
The Folks in My Garden.

The folks in my garden
Wear gold-colored cloaks
They stand in row
And are wonderful folks.
Just six is their number;
All summer they've stood,
As silent as Quakers
In broad brim and hood.
Straw cloaks from the wheat field,
These dear people wear;
Let the bleak winds blow,
For the cold they'll not care.
Through, through the long winter
These peaceable folks,
The roses they're called,
Must stand in their cloaks.
When winter is over,
In garments of green
These people will all
In their new clothes be seen.
In the sweet month of June.
Have never doubt,
You'll say with delight,
See, the roses are out"

HELPED THEM DIE EASY,
Farmer Leach's Endorsement of the Hog
 Cholera Cure


 Tn NeTnaha county, southeastern Nebraska, said Representative Mercer, of Omaha, 'therc lives m old farmer named Rufus Leach The hog cholera was raging in the county and Leach's hogs were dying fast, when along came a smooth-tongued faliil with patent cholera euro for hogs. He showed Leach his goods. read him the dirce- tious on the bottles, and sold him two or three bottles of the compound for five dollars.
 Three or four weeks later Farmer Leach was standing at his gate in the evening when a well-dressed stranger, who was driving by, hailed him. There was an air of dcsolation about the farm, lull as of death, unrelicyed by the musical bass grunts of lot Of contented hogs.
 Good evening Mir, Leach, called out the stranger, pulling up at the gate
 Good evening, said Leach.
 You don't remember me, sec, said the stranger, .. No, not exactly, said the farmer.
 T sold you some cholera cure for your hogs a few weeks ago. the stran- ger explained.
 Oh, you're the man, are you@ said Leach, quietly,
 Yes,' said the fakif. and, by the way, how did it work Well, said Leach, in his complacent style, T don't know that i: done any good, except to make the hogs die little easier."

INDIAN SINGERS

 Their vocalisation Is Crude, Hut Highly
 Appreciated by Their Fellows.
 In an address delivered in Washing ton, D. C., upon Indian Music" Miss Alice Fletcher stated that the music of the Indians is solely and simply vocal Their songs are compositions which have in them nothing borrowed from instruments, nothing of artificial instigation.
 An Indian melody never serves two sets of wordsi there Is no instance where the people have a custom like our own of singing the different stan, gas ot a ballad to the same tune.
 A large proportion of Indian songs arc entirely without words, syllables being used to carry the tones. Per. haps the most striking peculiarity of Indian music is the lack of definite pitch, for there is no such thing as . standard pitch among the Indians.
 The Indian starts his song where the natural quality of his voice and his present mood renders 1t easiest for him to sing it. A tenor will naturally sing upon higher pitch than bass; n soprano will differ from contralto. The pitch of song depends upon the individual
 With the Indian there has never been anything we should call vocal training -any drill as to pitch. Some Indians, like some white people, always sing Hat; while some Indians, like some of us, have what we call natural musical ears, and they sing in tones surprising ly near to our standards,
 Such Indians are recognized by their fellows as musical leaders They are considered the best singers, men whose services are sought and paid for on oc- easions of festivity.
