NIINIICRY AND REASON.
Indications That This Monkey Is EN-
dOwed With share of Each.
From the Utica Observer.

From the Utica Observer.
That the monkey possesses intelligence
to a considerable degree is probably true"
said a hotel proprietor who has a small
menagerie on his premises. II believe,
however. much of the intelligence with
which that animal is credited is due to
his love of mimicry or imitation.
THE other day two young men. with
two young girls, were at the monkeys
cage feeding him peanuts. One of the
girls was chewing gum, and one of the
men suggested that she give the monkey
some, expecting that If he took it in his
mouth it would stick TO his teeth, and he
would make sorry work trying to chew
it. The girl at once parted with the
sweet morsel she was so industriously
chewing, extending 1t toward the cage.
The monkey grabbed it instantly and put
it into his mouth, but instead Of chewing
1T, or attempting to, began pulling it out
in small ribbons, as children are frequent
ly seen to do. When he had il all out
of his mouth he rolled IL into a compact
ball between his hands, threw it into his
mouth and began the operation again.
He appeared to enjoy the performance as
much as his visitors. That was imita-
ton"
That's all right" rejoined another,
but 1 had an experience with that same
monkey wherein he displayed intelligence.
l was by the cage smoking one day. and
l thought to annoy him by Blowing smoke
in his face. i was much surprised to ind
that instead of being annoyed he enjoyed
it, as was evidenced by his edging up as
near me as possible 10 receive the smoke
in larger volumes. Soon he began
scratching himself at the point where
most of the smoke came against him.
When l had smoked one side for few
minutes, he would turn squareiy round
TO have the other side treated in the
same way Then he sat up directly in
front of me and received the smoke
squareIy in the face and neck. 1 don't
know whether he held his breath. but he
did not cough, sneeze or vince a parti-
Gle. To complete the job he then sat
with his back toward me, and Il would
have done you good to see him throw his
hind feet over his back and scratch. II
made me think Of the kickers of a hay
tedder IN motion. Now that monkey knew
through some sort of intelligence that
nothing win send fieas and pther insects
to the surface or stupefy them as ef-
fectiyely as tobacco smoke

From the New York Tribune.

From the Now lDIk ITIDuus.
Seeing that the Council Of Trent in the
sixteenth century solemnly pronounced
"the female attired in masculine habili-
ments' to be "accursed, il would be in
teresting to learn what attitude the Ro-
man Catholic church Of the present day
proposes to adopt with regard to the knick-
erbockers of women who ride bicycle.
According to the French papers, the car
dinal archbishop of Paris has taken adj
vantage of this medieval decree to issue
instructions to his clergy to refuse any
sacrament to women coming to ask it in
the cycling attire of to-day. But. surely.
the Council of Trent could not have fore
seen the advent of the wheel and of the
new woman in knickerbockers.

Little SchOOIm' am.

Speak OF queen and empress,
Or OF other ladies royal,
Not one Of them has half the power,
Or subjects half so loyal.
AS she, the little schoolma'am,
Who trips along the way
To take the chair she makes n throne
Anime o'clock each day.
Her rule is ever gentle;
Her tones are low and sweet;
She is very trim and tidy
From her head unto her feet,
And IL matters very little
If her eyes be brown or blue;
They simply read your inmost heart
Whene'er she looks at you.
The children bring her presents,
Red apples, flowers galore,
For all the merry girls and boys
This queen Of theirs adore,
The darling little schoolma' am,
Who reigns without a peer
In hundred thousand classrooms
This galy flying year.
