MIMiCRY AND REASON.
Indication That This Monkey Is Endowed
with Share of Each.


"That the monkey possesses intelli-
gence to considerable degree is proba-
bly, true" said hotel proprietor who
has a small menagerie on his premises
81 believe, however, much Of the intel
Hgence with which that animal is cred
tied is due to his love of mimicry.
1.-The other day two young men with
two girls were at the monkeys cage
feeding him peanuts. One of the girls
was chewing gtm, and one of the men
suggested that she give the monkey
some, expecting that if he took it i'll his
mouth it would stick TO his teeth, and
he would make sorry work Of trying to
chew it. The girl at once parted with
the sweet morsel she was so Industrious
ly chewing extending it toward the
cage. The monkey grabbed it instantly
and put it into his mouth, but instead
of chewing it, or attempting to, began
pulling it out in small ribbons, as chill
dren are frequently seen to do. When
be had it all out of his mouth, he rolled
it into compact ball between his
hands, threw it into his mouth and be-
gan the operation again. He appeared
to enjoy the performance as much as his
visitors That was imitation. "
"That's all right" rejoined another,
"but | had an experience with that
same monkey wherein he displayed in
tellgence. was by the cage smoking
one day, and l thought to annoy him by
blowing smoke in his face. Twas much
surprised to find that, instead of being
annoyed, he enjoyed it, as was evil
denced by his edging up as near me as
possible to receive the smoke in larger
volumes. Soon he began scratching
himse If at the point where most Of the
smoke came against him. When l had
smoked one side for few minutes, he
would turn squarely round to have the
other side treated in the same way.
Then he sat up directly i'll front of me
and received the smoke squa1ely i'll the
face and neck l don't know whether
he held his breath, but he did not cough,
sneeze or vince a particle To complete
the job he then sat with his back toward
me, and it would have done you good
to have seen him throw his hind feet
over his back and scratch. 1t made me
think of the kickers of a hay tedder i'll
motion. Now that monkey knew,
through some sort of intelligence, that
nothing will send feas and other insects
to the surface or stupefy them as effect
lively as tobacco smoke. Utica OBJ

COLLEGE GIRLS AND MARRIAGE.
Bits of Confession That Throw "a Light on
the Question.

I have no doubt that the remaining
cause CT the low marriage rate is that
many men dislike intellectual women-
whether because such women are really
disagreeable or because men s taste is at
fault | shall not try to determine. And
even among those who like them as
friends many feel as the young man did
who made this confession:
81 never expected to marry the sort Of
girl did. You know I always believer
i'll intellectual equality and all that
and had good friendships with the col
lege girls. But, you see, You girls hatln t
any illusions about rs. After you had
seen us hanging at the board on problems
you could work and had taken the same
degrees yourselves, you couldn t imagine
us wonders just because we had gone
through college, and when I met a dear
little girl that thought l knew every
thing--why, it just keeled me right
over. 1t was a feeling had no idea of. "
And the college woman answered.:
q will betray something to you. Lots
of US are just as unreformed as you. We
want just rs much to look up to our hus-
bands as you want to be looked up to.
Only of course the more we know the
harder it is to find somebody to meet the
want. Probably the equal marriage is
really the ideal one, and everybody will
come to prefer it some day. But per-
sOnally | like men to be superior to me,
Only I'll tell you what l don't like in
them--tho wish to keep ahead of us by
holding Us back, like spoiled children
that want to be given the game and
then admired for their skill. If men
would encourage us to do our very best,
and then do still better themselves, it
ought to be good for civilization. -

Preservation Of Seals OF Interest
to the Whole Civilized

SAN FRANC1sCo, Nov. 30. A copy OF
the annual report which Governor
James Sheakley Of Alaska will file
with the secretary of the interior, wa
brought to this city from Sitka, on the
steamer Ella Rolns. The document il
interesting from the fact that much At
tention has been attracted Of lats 70
Alaska. Governor Sheakley goes int
the sealing industry extensively, and
he also gives important fscts Regarding
the gold mines Of the tszritory. The
mall service, he says, hes bsen e1-
tended to the Yukon mining regions,
but the service has net been sasisfac-
tory, while that to the western parts OF
Alaska, in charge Of the Alaska Com
mercial company, has been prompt and
| efficient, the steamer Dora making reg
ular trips.
Governor Sheakley quotes the state
ment made by Justice Harmon before
the Paris tribunal of arbitration,
which, he says, gives q concise history
of the manner in which the govern
ment of the United States managed
the fur seal fisheries on the Prybiloff
islands, and the cause Of the contro-
versy between the United States and
Great Britain. He says:
The question of the preservation OF
the fur seal herds of the Pribyloff and
other islands is not one that concerns
alone the persons or even the nations
interested. The whole civilized world
Is interested. l firmly believe that when
the facts are fully known, the good
sense and love of fairness On the part
of the English people will fully approve
of the stand which the American gov.
eminent has taken in this matter"
From the gold mines of Alaska

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat IA it unfortunately called, is a
species Of big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not 80 much because
OF the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because OF It's actual
rarity. 1t is a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually. among rocks and cliffs
This requires great labor to get to it, bu,
