her, and, although he lived to be two
years old, his death was attributed to
the loss of his mother. Come in and
take peep at the little fellow" said
Jake, in conclusion, as he opened
door at the end of row of cages.
When Jake and the reporter entered
Jennie was sitting on the bottom of
the cage, with her offspring cuddled up
in her lap, but at the sight of a stranger
she made two or three jumps and
springs, landing on an upper bar of the
cage, the little baby clinging to her for
dear life during her upward fight.
There he is, and isn't he 'beaut?' :"
Jake inquired, proudly.
Jennie sat on her perch, holding baby
so tightly in her fond arms that at first
there was some difficulty experienced by
the reporter in getting even the peep
that Jake had promised; but at last the
mother, as if approaching the fact that
some one had come to admire her baby,
dropped off and came down, and, lift
ing the little fellow up, kissed him on
his little pug nose and placed him in
position to be inspected and compli-
mented.
The baby's head is covered with short,
black hair, which shows wide part in
the middle. He has little turned-up
nose, and his eyes are wide open and are
as black as coal. He looks like a regular
old man, with his forehead all covered
with wrinkles. He thinks his mother is
just about right, for he won't let go of
her for moment, and is strong enough
in the legs to hang on all by his "lone-
some" wherever she goes.
'They are most affectionate with their
young" explained Jake, as Jennie laid
her cheek next the little fellows and
then Rugged him with delight, just as
one sees human mothers do. "Why,
even the fathers are tickled to death
with a young one. remember our last
monkey baby. His father was Jacobus.
We've got him yet. He's outside in one
of the cages. I'll show him to you when
we go out. Well, when we had the last
baby, we would let him stay in the cage
with his father. Jacobus would sit for
hours letting that youngster run all
over him, and appeared as proud of him
as you can imagine"
"What do you feed Jennie now?"
Jake was asked.
He replied that fresh carrots, nicely

LION PRESENTED WITH A MATE.
Lincoln Park, Chicago, Secures a Young
Lioness from Denver.

The Lincoln park menagerie at Chi
cago has been enriched by the addition
of a young lioness, which will hereafter
be known as Mrs. Leo. The animal was
exchanged for two-year-old lion cub
and cotnes direct from Denver.
Keeper Sweeney has for some time
been on the lookout for a suitable COM
panion to alleviate the loneliness of
Leo, the pride of the menagerie. The
new arrival was secured from travel
ing circus. Though her past reputation
is none too good for gentleness her new
quarters will, her keeper hopes, con-
vert her into a docile, affectionate
spouse. The lioness was on view for the
first time the other day, though she ar
rived in Chicago on the Fourth, and
was the center of crowds of admiring
spectators. She occupies the cage next
to Leo's and after she becomes accuc-
toned to the excitement of life in the
park will, it is expected, take kindly to
her surroundings.

BATTLE AT WEST POINT.
Michael Lucey. . Chicago Cadet, Knocked
Out In the Combat.

Michael Lucey, . Chicago Cadet, Knocked
Out In the Combat.
Michael Lucey, Chicago boy, who
is q cadet at West Point, has been
thrashed by q cadet named Heintzle-
man, from Washington, If the stories
received at the war department are
true. 1t is said that Lucey was being
drilled by o "yearling" named Rea, and
that Rea so aggravated him that Lucey
struck his drillmaster ON the head with
the butt of his musket, knocking him
down and cutting deep cash over
Rea's eye. This was not reported to
a tactical officer, and the 'yearling"
class determined that it's honor had
been assailed, and Lucey was informed
that he would have to fight. Lucey
Is 10 years old, weighs 1913 pounds and
stands five feet eleven inches in height
1t was evident that Rea would be no
match for the young Chicago giant,
for he lisa little fellow, and therefore the
'yearling" class selected Cadet Heintzle-
man, Of Washington, to uphold its
honor in the ring. These two youths
met In the ring behind the oyergrown
rampant at Fort Clinton, stripped to
the waist and surrounded by some 60
cadets. Seven rounds were fought, In
which the Washington boy displayed
superior science, with the result that
Lucey was knocked down aud out. He
was struggled into the hospital, q sorry
looking young man. His nose was
broken and his features badly battered.
As the two pugilists were not detected
while fighting, they viii not be pun
ished. The "yearlings" have been
avenged, and as Lucey stood up and
took his medicine bravely he win not
be further molested while at the acad-
envy, having given sufficient proof Of
his courage.

French Town Which Has Come Into n
Heritage of Consumption.

French Town which Has Come Into q
Heritage of Consumption.
1t has long been cause of con-
troversy among physicians as to wheth-
er consumption is contagious or not,
and one of the strongest arguments,
says the New York Journal, that it is
that has yet been produced is the story
of the fate of the villagers of Mentone.
Forty years ago this place was one of
the healthiest villages in France, whose
inhabitants were of superb physical de-
velopment. 1t was discovered about
this time that the climate of Mentone
was remarkably beneficial in cases OF
lung diseases, and people afflicted in
this way hocked thither from all parts
of Europe. The natural result was
that the people who had hitherto been
engaged in farming one and all betooll
themselves to ministering in various
ways to the throngs of invalids. The
strong and healthy women of Mentone
became laundresses and washed, with
out taking the least precautions, the
consumptives' clothes. The place is
now described as being a bacillus pest
hole" The very soil and air are said 10
be contaminated.

THE Fools Revenge

There was once man who climbed q
tree, and he had in his hand saw. And
while he was in the tree his enemy
osme beneath it and lay down to sleep
in the shade. And the man said to him
self: Behold my enemy, asleep and in
my poweri I will avenge myself upon
him by saving off a limb of this tree
and allowing it to fall upon him and
crush him" And as he said ne did, but
he sat upon the limb. and when it fell
he fell with it and was grievously in
jured. But the sleeping man was not
injured.
There was once a farmer who went
in debt to banker. And values de-
clined and money became scarce, and
he said, 81 will have law passed
making my debt payable in cheap mon
ey, and thus will be avenged upon
this goldbug." And as he said he did.
But when debts had been made payable
in cheap money, he received only cheap
money for the products of his farm, and
he was required to pay double the
amount Of cheap money for his necessi-
ties, and the goldbug foreclosed the
debt and was not injured, but the farm
er was ruined

Jake said he decided when he first knew
the baby had arrived that it was best to
separate the mother and child from the
father. This was no easy work, for the
monkeys do not like such an arrange
ment and will fight. Jake had to jump
right into the cage and take the baby
from the mother. He handed it to an
assistant outside, and then took the
mother in his arms, and put them both
in cage by themselves in the little
room mentioned.
Jennie, the mother, was left at the
park about year ago, and belongs to
some private person, but Jake said that
he doubted if she would ever I've taken
away from the park.

GOTHAM'S BABY MONKEY.
It Arrived Unexpectedly at the
Central Park Zoo.


There is baby monkey at Central
park, New York. It came In the nature
of great surprise to everyone con-
cerned except its fond mother. The
mother is called Jennie, and the father
goes by the appellation of Max. They
have been keeping house together for
some little time in q cage on the right
of the monkey room as one enters from
the south. Mother and child are both
doing well, and the little fellow is pro-
nounced by some of those who see him
to be the Sweetest thing alive" The
parents belong to the tribe of monkeys
known as the Java acqua, havingrather
long gray hair, and are of about medi-
UNI size as monkeys go.
This is the first baby monkey born
alive at the Zoo in the park since 1888,
and from what "Jake," the monkey
man, said to a New York Tribune re-
porter, the little fellow will eclipse the
baby hippopotamus in the attention he
is bound to receive from the public.
When the reporter went into the mon
key house he found "Jake" wreathed
in smiles and as happy as clam at
high tide.
"Why," said he, when came down
here Monday morning and was told that
the little baby monkey had been found
in the cage was completely taken off
my feet. 1t was born in the night, and
I never suspected such a thing" and
Jake" laughed heartily.
"How do you keep it so quiet?" in
quired the reporter.
swell, you see, this having baby
monkey is such an unusual occurrence,
and so much care and attention are re-
quired to see that the mother is not SUBJ
jected to any excitement, that we have
not said anything about it, and it will
be some time before we shall place them
on exhibition. We want to give him
every chance to get good start in life.
The time the last baby monkey was
born in the Zoo his mother died and it
affected his development. He pinned for

NOW THEY ARE RIGHT.

London, July S1.-At the session to-
day of the International Socialist La
Dor and Trade Union congress Nj.
Valiant, a French socialist and dep
uty, was chairman, and Matthew Ma
guire, leading delegate of the So
cialist Labor party in the United
States, vice-chairman. The congress
adopted the report of the committee
on education and physical develop
ment, favoring government system
of public education, extending from
the kindergarten to the university,
and including physical, scientific, ar
tistic and technical subjects, to be
genuinely accessible to every one by
freedom from fees and the public
maintenance of scholars. The report
prohibits the employment of children
under IS years of age in night work
or in any work involving labor eX-
tending over IA hours.
James Kier Hardy argued that
whatever expense the maintenance of
scholars and their university educa-
ton would be it would be followed by
compensation in the diminution of the
number of criminals.

VENEER PRODUCTION.
Some Woods Can Be Sawed as Thin as
Writing Paper.

While the finer and thinner veneers
of costly woods are sliced tangentially
from the side of the log, there are
woods that cannot be cut this Wayne
amount of boiling or steaming render
ing it possible to cut them without
breaking down the tissues to such an
extent as to destroy their surfaces for
polishing-while others, says Hard
wood, becoming discolored from
steaming or boiling, and being too hard
to cut otherwise, have to be sawed.
The fine-toothed, thin-gauge circular,
with Hanged center, is the favorite for
cutting all ordinary veneers thicker
than 30 to the inch; 20 to the inch is the
thickness most commonly used for cab
met work and finishing, but much
thinner is used in the case of rare and
costly woods, or rare abnormal or acct
dental figures, as in the case of burls.
Some woods have to be cut much thick
er, being unable to bear handling when
too thin; genuine ebony, the only fine
really jet-black wood known, and large
enough to be of any use, will not stand
saving much below one-fourth of an
inch in thickness, owing to the extreme
brittleness or want of cohesion, but
there are other woods that can be cut as
thin as writing paper and still be
handled in large sheets. Other woods
there are that will lose their fine color
on exposure to the atmosphere, espe-
cially a smoky one; these are cut only
when Immediately wanted, and are
kept covered until the f1nishers can put
on protective coat of some prepare

Interesting Experiments Performed at

Interesting Experiments Performed at
the Yale Psychological Laboratory.
The results of some of the expert
ments of Authorizations of the senses
at the Yale psychological laboratory
are interesting. A person, says the
New York World, placed in a quiet
room was asked to note the intensity
of a tone which would be sounded every
time a telegraph receiver clicked. At
first the tone was actually produced,
but afterward, unknown to the person
experimental on, the tone was omitted
while the clicking was regularly con-
tinued. Still the subject of the expert
ment believed that he heard the tone,
as before, with every click of the in
strument. Another experiment con-
sisted in dropping light pith ball on
the hand of a person so placed that he
could not see what was done. Each
fall of the ball was timed to correspond
with the sound regularly emitted by
q metronome. After awhile the ball
was no longer dropped, but the sub
jects of the experiment contin-
ued to feel, or imagined he
felt, the touch of the ball at every sound
from the metronome. In q third ex-
pertinent blue bead was placed in the
center of white ring, and a person
was requested to approach the ring
and note, by means of tape measure at
his side, the distance at which the bead
first became visible to him. Later the
bead was secretly removed, but still,
on arriving at the previously deter
mined distance the persou believed that
he saw the bead.

Women's Rescue League Denounces Its
Use IN q Series OF Resolutions.
The Women's Rescue league intends
to begin an active crusade against the
use of the bicycle by women. The
league has adopted these resolutions:
Whereas, The alarming increase of i'm
morality among young women In the
United States is most startling to those
who have investigated the subject Of
disease and vice;
Whereas, A great curse has been in
fiicted upon the people of this country be-
cause of the present bicycle craze. and IL a
halt is not called soon rs per cent. of the
cyclists will be an army Of invalids within
the next ten years:
Whereas, Disease among the young
women is appalling because Of the I'm
prudent use of the bicycle, by bringing
on diseases peculiar to women. Further
more, immoderate bicycling by young
associations and opportunities offered by
cycling sports;
Whereas. Bicycling by young women has
helped more than any other medium to
swell the ranks of reckless girls, who final
ly drift into the standing army of out
cast women of the United States
Whereas, Bicycle run for Christ" by So
Calleu SnrlStldnS, snOulu DC DTOpeTS
termed Bicycle run for Satan," for the
bicycle is the DEVILS advance agent, moral
ly and physically, in thousands Of In
stances; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the Women's. Rescue
league denounces bicycle riding by young
women because of producing immoral sug-
gestions, and imprudent associations, both
in language and dress, which have ten.
dency to make women not only unwoman-
ly. but immodest as well.
Resolved, That married women should
not resort to riding the wheel unless they
wish to prevent motherhood; and be II
further
Resolved, That the Womens Rescue
league petitions all true women and cler-
gymen to aid in denouncing the present BIZ
cycle craze by women as indecent and
vulgar; and be II further
Resolved, That copies of these resolu-
tions be sent where they will do the most

BRITAIN SOON TO HAVE KING.

London, July 31.-A rumor that
Queen Victoria intends to retire in
favor of the Prince of Wales is again
current today and court circles are
greatly troubled regarding the condi-
ton of the queens health. Such re-
ports have frequently appeared in re-
cent years. But now it seems there
may be some actual foundation for
the statement made. 1t is added that
her majesty has decided to spend her
time in future at Balmoral or Osborne
and that she will give the Prince and
Princess of Wales the use of Buck
ingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
There is no doubht that the queen
feels greatly the weight of her years
and bereavements, and her majesty is
quoted as having repeatedly remark
ed during her stay in this city at
Buckingham Palace, upon the occas-
ion of the recent marriage of Princess
Maud of Wales to Prince Charles of
Denmark, this is my last visit to

Monkeys of Africa Depend Upon Their
Numbers and Discipline.
The conditions of the life of the mon
key in Africa are sufficiently curious
without reference to their acquired
habits, though these are undoubtedly
due to the dangers to which the nature
of the country in which they live ex-
poses them. The different species of
balloons, which are found commonly
over the whole African continent, are
all by nature jewellers in the open coun-
try. They find their food on the ground,
and whether this be insects or vege-
tables, it is usually In places which af-
ford little shelter or protection. Though
strong and well armed with teeth, they
are slow animals, with little Of the mon
key agility when on the ground, and
not particularly active even when
climbing among rocks.
In rocky 'kopjes" Of the south, says
the Spectator, of the cliffs and river
sides of Abyssinia and the Nile tribu-
taries, they are safe enough. But they
often abandon these entirely to invade
the low country. During the Abyssin-
ian expedition conducted by Lord Ma
pier of Magdala they regularly camped
near our environments on the coast and
stole the grain on which the cavalry
horses and transport animals were fed.
When on expeditions of this kind they
often leave their strongholds for days
together, and the means of joint de-
tense from enemies in the open coun-
try are then carefully organized. Their

THE RAIN GROW.
Facts of Interest Regarding the Ameri-
can Cuckoo.

Facts of Interest Regarding tho Ameri-
can Cuckoo.
The American cuckoo belongs to the
woodpecker tribe, and is only summer
visitor, coming about the LIST of June
and leaving early in the fall for Florida.
Unlike the English cuckoo, ours builds
its own nest and raises its own young,
TO whom 1t is most devoted parent.
We have two species in this country,
the yellow hill and the black bill, the
latter being best known in Pennsyl-
yania.
Both, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
are smaller than the old world spe-
ries, and differ from it in color, being
greenish olive above and blush white
beneath, while the European bird is
black winged. The American cuckoo
has tail longer than its body, which
gives it hawk-like appearance, and
the plunnage is soft and silky, like that
of the owl, which enables it to fly with
out making any noise, so that we often
hear it call without being able to see
the bird.
Burroughs says: "This call of the
cuckoo has q solitary, hermit-like
sound, as II the bird was alone In the
world, and called on the fates to wit
ness his desolation." He has never
heard the call answered, nor has he
ever seen two birds together. The
call is heard most in cloudy weather
and before q rain, from which the bird
gets the name Of rain crow.
