Monkey Min ers.

According to q New York paper
monkeys are working in the Trans
vaal mines, twenty-four monkeys do
ing the work of seven men. They
gather the small pieces of quartz and
put them in heaps, their sharp eyes
detecting the gold bearing quartz
more quickly than the ordinary work
men.
The above is probably a fake.
Whenever an attempt has been made
to supersede man with monkeys the
attempt has been failure. A man
who tried it ia a cotton field in Lou
isiana figured out that one monkey
would pick as much cotton as three
men. When he got them in the field
he found that it took three men and
boy to handle one monkey.
A monkey might draw salary as
Superintendent or nonresident Di
rector of a mine, but he could never
do actual mining.

Aboard Ship.

Sea voysges are usually deemed promo

But il may well be doubted if the shaking
up aboard ship, which people of very fra
gile constitution and weak nerves get is
not prejudicial,i if its effects are not averted
or nulifed by "A medical safe guard. The
best if we are to believe the testimony OF
ocean travellers, whether they go abroad
foe health, pleasure or business, is Hostel

The Closing Exercises.

The schoolroom was crowded last
Thursday evening by an interested
audience, assembled to witness the
closing exercises of our public school.
The entire program was very in
teresting one, and many of the mum
bers would have done credit to a
city school, particularly the drill by
the babies and the Delsarte exercise
by the elder girls, which was very
pretty and we'll done. Miss Sher-
man deserves and should receive the
thanks of every member of this com
munity for the good work done in
the school during her Administrations.
Her efforts to improve the children
have been unceasing, and in all cases
where she has had the encourage
ment of the parents she has been
successful. We are pleased to an
nounce that Miss Sherman has been
engaged for the next year.

DYspnptic Oranges.

A mysterious disease which has at
tackled many orange trees in Florida has
been discovered to be indigestion. The
department of agriculture in its Year
Book" pays special attention to dyspep-
tic oranges, and describes the disease
and its cure. Its cause is the same as
that which so often brings ON disease
in human beings -overfeeding, Excess
sivc cultivation and too much nitro
genous manure affect the orange tree
just as too much heavy table d'hote
dinners affect man. Instead of look
ing pale and taking pepsin tablets, how
ever, the orange tree turns very dark
green, and reddish brown sap eXudes
from the twigs. The tips turn up and
shape themselves into S-like curves.
The fruit turns Il lemon yellow color
before it is half ripe, and has a very
thick rind. As it ripens, the fruit splits
open and become worthless. The
reddish brown resin gets on the fruit
before it is ripe and renders it unsal-
able.-Kansas City journal.

BRAVE KING JOHN.
Tho Predecessor of MeneIck Was Killed
In Battle.


l was reading Slatin Pasha's new
book, Fire and Sword in the Soudan,"
the other day, and came across seeer;i
descriptions of the battles between the
Abyssinians and the followers OF the
mahdi, which make very pertinent read
ing just at present in view of the dis
aster the arms of Italy have met in
lighting with King Menelek's army.
His description of the death in battle OF
King John, King Menelek 5 predecessor,
is worth quoting as showing the BRAY
cry of the tribe. The battle was at Gal
labat and the Abyssnians were the at
lacking party. Their army was di-
yided into two portions, one made up OF
King Johns own tribes, the Tigre, to-
gether with Meneleh's troops, and the
other of the Amhara tribes lcgions.
On attacking the city the latter SOON
broke through the dcrvishcs' Lines, and
had they attacked the garrison, instead
OF stopping TO loot and pillagc the
houses, they would have quickly won
victory. SIatin Pasha writes:
king John, who was in his tent. hav-
whom he had frequently accused of
coWardice, had succeeded in entering
the lines, while his own tribe, the Tigre,
had failed, fell into II passion, and,
ordering his followers to carry him on
his seat-a small gold augareb covered
with cushions and carpet-he was
brought into the midst of the fighting
line. The Mahdists, noticing n crowd
of followers clad in velvet and gold, di-
rected their fire on them, and when
