THE SPINNING WHEEL

According to the Revue Scientifque. a
French mine-owner in the Transvaal has
some monkeys infected with the auri
sacra flames. It has happened i'll this
way. The mine-owner had originally
two little monkeys, which were in the
habit of accompanying their master in
his visit to the mines. They saw the
workmen gathering the ore, and soon
learned to initiate them and to distin-

who procured twenty-four others. which.
having been initiated into the mysteries
of mining by the two first pioneers, soon
became so expert as to fill the places
of five or six men. The monkeys are
extremely honest, says the veracious cor
respondent of the Revue, for they have
not yet been perverted by their human
fellowworkers, and never try to appro-
pirate nuggets.

There are many living in this state
who remember good old DR.. Eaton, who
was president Of Colgate university forty
years ago. He was greatly beloved by
his students, who desired his good opin-

valedictory approached the doctor and
timidly asked him what he thought Of

Washington Courthouse, O., had shipped
to him from Baltimore green monster

charges were S1S. which the dealer re-
fused to pay, and the turtle was sold by
the company at auction. A citizen
bought it for S3 and placed it in a lake

and at home ever since. The question

Equal TO the Moment.

Many years ago a candidate for the
Falkirk Burroughs, Scotland, more noted
for sport than learning, addressed a
meeting of electors. On questions being
invited, a schoolmaster handed up a
slip of paper, demanding the candidates
opinion of the Decalogue (the Ten Com
mandments. of course}.
Seeing he was greatly embarrassed for
an answer, a wag ON the platform whis-
pered in his ear:
''Flogging in the army.
The candidate quickly pulled himself
together and replied:
~ would certainly do away with the
Decalogue at once; but, gentlemen, let
me remind you that all questions sub
mitted to the chair must be written in
plain. good old Scots language, for there

Bicyclists who indulge in club runs, or
who travel in small parties along coun-
try roads. may profit from an idea which
has been introduced in the bicycle clubs
of France. In that country the whistle
is much preferred to the bell as means
of alarm and for club runs, or use when
more than two cyclists go touring. The
wheeman has established Il perfect code
of signals, in which he uses short and
long sounds ON his whistle. Some of
these signals are:
Ordinary alarm. three short notes.
Halt, one long-drawn note.
Come ahead, or follow me-" two
long notes.
where are you?" or ''We are here
three half long notes.
Turn TO the right, one long-drawn
note. one short.
Turn to the left" one long-drawn
note. two short.
Look out. there's danger ahead,' ten
sharp notes in quick succession.
Call for help. three short and one long
note several times in succession.
The signals are now pretty well under

American cyclists to take the matter up,

A certain parrot is the property of a
Tioga household, the head of which is in
ordinately fond of a quiet little game of
poker. For years it has been his custom
to get three or four of his friends to-
gether at least twice Il week in his snug
library and while away four or five hours
of an evening by means of 5-cent ante
with quarter limit. The parrots cage
hangs in the same library, except on
state occasion, when it is taken into the
dining room.

church as he is to his favorite game. She
never misses a meeting, and as often as
the good man will come has her pastor
to her home for Sunday dinner. He was

In the researches he made while gath
ering statistics for his book on colon
ial furniture the late DR.. Lyon came
across curious mahogany legend
about the introduction of mahogany in
to England. 1t seems that DR.. Glib
bon, who was London physician early
in the seventeenth century, had some
mahogany planks imported from the
West Indies with the idea Of grinding
them up for use as substitute for
Peruvian bark, which was just gaining
vogue as a medicine. Finding the wood
unserviceable as medicine. he had a
cabinet maker construct box of one
Of the planks. and the beautiful grain Of
the wood pleased him SO that he had
a bureau made Of the same material
All London flocked to see 1t, and the
wood came into immediate use among
furniture makers.

the element of danger is greater than
