Monkey Drummers.

Captain T. G. Carew, an ex-officer of
the British army who during his military
career spent good deal of his time in Al
RIGA, tells the following amusing incident:
"a short distance from the little village
in which our troops were stationed was a
large forest which was infested by Chin
panzecs of great STATURE who made almost
nightly raids on the town and barracks,
carrying away anything they took a fancy
to-
"On one occasion q member of this in
tclligent tribe stole q drum from one Of
our tents and made off with it to the for
est, beating it as he ran.
Tho monkey took the drum to the
headquarters of his own people,, who
were evidently much charmed with it,
and we often afterward heard the monkeys
beating it vigorously,
Sometimes in the middle of the night
we would b. awakened by some sleepless
chimpanzeo beating the drum with might

Europe had grown accustomed to mil

tho process by which such miracles had

EASTER SYMBOLS.
Eggs and Fares at Easter Were Not Orig
inal With the Christian Church.

Eggs and hares appear side by side
with every Eastertide and divide honors
in all shop windows devoted to the exhi-
bition of Easter gifts. 1t has been ex-
planned over and over again how the egg
was adopted as significant symbol for the
great spring festivals, in all nations, prior
to their employment by the Christian
church. 1t appears indeed a simple mat
ter that tho egg should have been chosen
as symbol for the great feasts Of the YER
nal equinox. The dormant germ inclosed
within the inanimate SHE'LL from which
by and by, life breaks forth, was ia
miliar occurrence and one coinciding with
the revival of nature from her long win
ter's quietudo. The early Christian church
endeavored to give Significance to pagan
rites that could not be rooted out. In this
instance the conversion was easy. The
awakening of vegetable life iii the spring
and joy at the rising of the natural sun
were made typical of the JOY at the resur
rection of Christ from the grave.
The staining of eggs with color is of pa
gan origin, as is also tho game played by
striking eggs together In Scotland il
used to be considered lucky if wild fowls
eggs could DO gathered for breakfast. The
practice is not confined to Christians. The
Jews cat eggs at the feast Of the Passover
and tho Persians, when they keep the fes
tival of the solar year in March, present
each other with colored eggs, AS among
ancient nations the egg was originally
symbolical of the :eviYiiication OF natur,
and the springing forth of lifo in The
spring, so it is considered cmblcmatiG
among Christians of the resurrection ans
a future life
The haro also dates far back Of The
council of Nice, \. ID. 325, when it wa,
decided that Easter was to be held on the
first Sunday after tho Paschal full mool
that is, the full moon which happens
upon or next after the 2lst of March, anC
If the full moon happens on a Sunday,
Easter day is the Sunday after.
The hare, in old mythology, was an ami
NAL sacred to the moon, and this, in part
at least, accounts for the hare's appear
ance at the ancient spring festivals. Th,
ancient nations assumed that a hare Turk
ed in the shadows on the moon. Tho hare
was regarded as nocturnal animal, rest
ing by day and alert at night, while its
period of CESSATION was a lunar month
These and similar analogies between the
hare and the moon md also the opening
of tho spring season are of frequent occur
renee in the traditions as well as tn,
mythology of all countries.
1t may be of interest to note in this con
nection that Easter never occurs bofor,
March - or after April "a, Easter sun
day is now generally observed by all Chris
tian denominations, though not with thC
regal ceremonies, as il tho Roman Catho
lie, the Greek and tho Church of EnglanC

LUCKY TO REACH PORT.
Schooner Benz. c. Cromwell Has a Rough
Passage and Sustains Heavy Damages.

Boston, April 9.-Captain York of the
schooner Benjamin G. Cromwell Of Port
land, which arrived, this morning, from
Cienfuegos, reports an extremely tempest
uous passage in which the vessel sustained
considerable damage
Captain York states that he left Glen
fuegos, March u, and had the usual
weather until March &c, when the wind
freshencd into a heavy gale from the W.
n. W., and westerly gales with heavy seas
followed the vessel up to about April 6,
when tho weather moderated. During
the six days of this rough weather the seas
made Il clean sweep over the vessel, flood
ing the engine room and cabin with water.
The damage sustained by tbs Cromwell
is somewhat heavy and includes the carry
ing away of the foresail, foretopmast rig
ging, mainmasthead and the peak hal
liards double block, which was pulled
from the masthead. She also lost all the
glff topsails, outer jib and split all the

The age For Marrying.

'If things keep on this way, We won't
have any grandfathcrs and grandmothers
in 80 Yeas, " observed a man who had
been running his eyes along the list OF
marriage licenses.
Look here, in this list of "a licenses
all but two of the men are moro than %
years old, and all but two of the women
arc above Is. 1t would seem that the av
erage age Of a groom these days is 80,
while the bride is but two or three years
younger"
He ran over the ages and found that the
average age of the groom was 2S and OF
the bride 27.
Now, what docs that mean?" he con
tinucd. A man does not marry until he
is 80. If no has sons and daughters, they
will not reach the marrying age until he
is at least so, and if no hopes to see his
grandchildren grow up no must live to be
at least so or 90.
I'm the country where was born people
married young, and it wasn't uncommon
to have grandmothors who wero less than
40 years old. But if 80 is to DO the mar
ryinS ago in Chicago we will at least have
to get along without great randfathers. p"

ancestry of birds and mammals, so that

Drawing Wire.

One OF tho most interesting mechanicai
processes as now practiced is that resofted
to for the drawing Of wire. Inc foa Is 70
ceived by the wire drawer in the form Oh d
coil, the rod being of varying section anu
the coil of a weight depending upon the
purpose for which it is intended one emu
of the rod is pointed and somewhat re-
duced by machinery, and the coil receives
. bath in mild acid to remove all o2lda-
ton, then is washed in lime water to give
drawing surface. and finally dried III a
suitable oven. When ready for drawing
the pointed rod is inserted in one OF the
holes of a drawing plate, the latter beng
generally of steel, though cast iron is IN
some cases used; the drawing holes are
conical and the rod is inserted from the
larger end, while On the other side of the
plate the pointed end is seized by power
pinchers and pulled until enough has been
drawn through to allow of its being passed
around and fastened to drum or reel
which is driven by power. OF course the
rod is reduced in area and much elongat-
ed, and this without any perceptible loss
of metal.
While passing through the plate it is
kept fabricated with what is called wire

to stop the process and soften the metal by
annealing 1t is then again washed in

ACCORDING TO RUSkIN.
What the Critic Considers tho Necessary
Requisites of True Art.

Ruskin, rs an art critic, says life
without industry is guilt, and industry
without art is brutality" But the brutal
man is immoral. Hence it would follow
that art is moralizing force. In what
way may it be regarded as u moral lever
in materialistic age? Mr.. Ruskin, with
other social reformers of the day, speaks
again and again of the need of more intcg-
rity and simplicity in modern life. Ho
also points to simplicity and sincerity and
truth to nature rs the first requisites of
true art and recommends them both to
artists and art students. But are simplici-
ty and sincerity the characteristics of an
age which begins to take n deeper interest
in art, so that the latter becomes actually
an important ethical factor in the refining
process of society?
Art has mostly fiourished in the midst
of a corrupt society, the product itself of n
perishing civilization, rejecting in its later
developments a contemporaneous degcn-
eracy in mind and morals. This is simply
historical commonplace. Mr.. Ruskin
replies after this manner: Tracing the
rise, progress and decline of high civilian
ton, he speaks of period bearing strong
resemblance to the times we live in, when
NbiiSNltl't anu lAibtiitNt sitt sp ut-
veloped that new forms of error begin in
the inability to fulfill the demands of the
one or to answer the doubts of the other"
"Thcn," he says, 1.-The wholencss of the
people is lost. All kinds of hypocrisics and
oppositions of science develop themselves.
Their faith is questioned on one side and
compromised with on the other. Wealth
commonly increased at the same period to
a destructive extent. Luxury follows. The
ruin of the nation is then certain" He
shows how in such case art becomes the
exponent of each successive step in the
downward course, not as the cause, but
as the consequence of such state of
things. "If, in such times, fair pictures
have been misused, how much more fair
realities? And if Miranda is immoral to
Caliban, is that Miranda's faultf''-Scot-
