had noticed that many mother mon
keys had brought their babies to church
with them. These little baby monkeys
sat upon the thigh of the mother, while
her hand was placed around them in a
very human fashion, but the sermon
was evidently too high for these little
folks to comprehend. CHANGING up, I
saw one of the little monkeys eau
tiously reach his hand around, and,
catching hold of another baby monkeys
tail, gave it q pull. The other little
monkey struck back, but each mother
monkey evidently disapproved of this
levity in church, and each gave its own
baby box on the ears, as though say
ing: "Sit still Don't you know how to
behave in church," The little monkeys,
thus reprimanded, turned the most
solemn faces toward the preacher, and
seemed to listen intently TO what he was
saying.
With the exception of monkey now
and then trying to catch 4 flea that was
biting him in some tender spot, they
thus sat demurely until the preacher
finished his sermon and until we had
distributed Gospels and tracts among
the audience, and had started for our
tents.
Our celestial audience" seeing our
terrestrial audience" dispensing, then,
and not until then, left their seats and
demurely walked back and sprang upon
the branches again. There were no

were as serious as congregation leav-

preacher say. And thus we left our

CHURCH-GOING MONKEYS
Amusing Experience of a Mission
airy Preacher in India.
A Large Congregation of simisns occu'
pied Front Seats on a Tree and
Punished Their Offspring for
CnseemIy Levity.

The most singular audience that l
ever saw gathered to listen to preaching
was an audience of monkeys. says a
writer in the Golden Rule.
When I commenced work in the re-
gion which l have now occupied for
more than 30 years, L asked two fellow
missionaries to join me in preaching
tour in the adjacent taluk, or county.
We first went with three native assist
ants to the taluk town, or county seat.
Our tents were pitched in the grove
adjoining the town. We usually on our
tours went two and two to preach in the
villages, but this being the taluk town,
and the first of our preaching the Gospel
in that region, we went in a body into
the native city.
Walking through the cloth, spice,
grain and iron merchants bazar streets,
and then through the goldsmiths' and
silversmiths' street, around through
the temple street. and then through the
street of Brahman residences to adver-
tise our presence, ard incite curiosity
20 know what we were about, we finally
took our stand in the Brahman street,
and all joined in singing one of the
beautiful Telugu Christian lyrics, and
gathered an interested audience.
We stood upon little raised platform
en- one side of the street against the
house walls. The houses were all of
one story, joined together like a city
block, with fat roofs, and low parapet
along the front of the roof. One of our
native assistants read portion from
the Gospels, and another preached
briefly, then one of my fellow mission
aries followed, preaching more at
length, while 1 watched the audience
TO study the countenances of the peo-
pie among whom 1 expected to work.
L had noticed that behind the houses
on the opposite side of the street there
was long row of trees growing in their
back yards, the branches of which
stretched out over the roofs.

Melville d. Langdon, 'cEH Perkins, %
has In his home at % East Seventy
fifth street, New York, three Japanese
spaniels named Fuji, Meto and Yoshi.
Full and Meto are papa and mamma
and Yoshi is their offspring. The
parents are natives of Japan. Yoshi
was born here. When Mr.. Jangdon was
in Japan four years ago he bought Fuji
and Meto, then mere pups. They are
black and white. The japanese span
iels are very intelligent brutes. They
cen be taught to do almost anything.
Begging comes as natural to them
as eating. They are perfect porters.
Mr.. Langdon's pets bring to him twice
daily his letters and his slippers.
The price of the japanese spaniel de-
ponds on its size. The smallest dog
brings the highest price. For little
fellow, weighing two or three pounds,
$500 is not an unusual price. Mr.. Lang
don lost two pups from distemper two
years ago.
A great many well-known society peo-
pie in town have spaniels for pets, but
there are only three or four as small
as two pounds. The Vanderbilts have
owned spaniels for years. Mrs. Fred
Vanderbilt has little beauty, weigh

BICYCLING IN COLD WEATHER.

Heretofore the majority OF cyclists
have laid their wheels ION theShelf' as
soon as the autumn winds commenced
to blow, but from present indications
il is evident that it will be common
sight to see numbers of cyclists of both
sexes taking a spin over the packed
snow or ice throughout the winter. If
one is properly fortified against the
winds he finds that in no season is
cycling so exhilarating as in the win
ter.
provided we adhere to the laws
of nature" said a prominent physician
the other day, 81 see no reason why the
riding season should end with the fall.
The winters of late have been very
open, with but little snow, and the
roads have been such az to allow of
wheeling nearly the entire winter. But
those who ride during the winter
months must exercise bit of caution
and be particular to dress in windproof
costumes, which will be properly venti-
lated and at the same time be of suffi-
cient warmth. The most important
thing to bear in mind is to keep in mo-
ton while out of doors, and in no case
should a person stand still in the open
air after exercising unless one is sui
cidally bent.
"a heavy chest protector, covering
the back as well as the chest, is almost
Indispensable, particularly on windy
days. A newspaper buttoned under
the vest will be fond very comfortable
iii is not heavy and will keep the wind
away from ones person, at the same
time retaining the natural heat of the
body"
There have recently been manufac-
tured several articles of apparel de-
signed expressly for the cyclists COM
fort during the winter months. A
western firm is advertising garments
of a texture which is said to be wind
proof. They make up skirts, coats and
chest protectors.

The cold steel of the handle-bars and
the lack of circulation in the hands

MISS ATKINSON Is CHAMPION.

Contest at WisnnhickOn.

Contest At W 1sHuh1ckOn.
After a series of brilliant plays Miss
Juliette Atkinson of Staten Island Club
succeeded in winning the tennis champion
ship of the United States by defeating
Miss Bessie Moore Of the same club, who
held the championship of 6. at the
grounds of the Philadelphia Cricket Club
at Wissahickon Saturday. There was a
large attendance Of VISITORS who came ex-
pecting to see good tennis. and they were
in no way disappointed. for the play of
yesterday was exceptionally fine.
At the start of efe championship contest
both Miss Atkinson and Miss Moore were
nervous and played unsteadily. Miss At
kinson's superior placing defeated her OPP
ponent in the first set 10y score of 6-3.
In the second both players played more
steadily. but Miss Atkinson still used
better judgment, Miss Moore being some
winner.
In the third set Miss Atkinson opened
well and ran up the score, but the cham
pion made a desperate rally and rare skill
won by the score of 4-6 During the fourth
set Miss Atkinson began showing signs of
WEAKNESS and again lost by a score Of 49,
There was considerable excitement at the
start of the fifth and deciding set. Miss
Atkinson aroused herself and displayed ex-
cellent Judgment in placing. volleying and
lobbing and won the set by score Of 6-3
and with 1t the championship. She was
loudly applauded as she left the court.
The Misses Atkinson also won the double
championship.

their usually compendable partisanship at
times when local ptayeIs are suspended by

benefit Of the reasons which animated him
to remove the player. The cause is usu-
ally some choice bit OF unprintable Ian
guage that cannot be heard twenty feet
from the group Of excited participants, and
when understood by the public will, or

play. even If II sometimes intcrferes with
local success. and if this custom of ex-

lees bitterness on the part of the game

players version might also be given, but
1t is probable that after the heat of his re-

1t is seldom that the spectators at a ball
game are able to understand the causes
that lead up to the filming of players by the
umpire or to the ejectment of obstreperous
men from the game. Saturdays episode of
this nature, when the Senators were shorn
of the services Of Reilly, was witnessed
only in its results, and thera were prob
ably many persons present who thought
that Reilly was harshly treated by Umpire
Emslie. AS a matter of fact it Is highly
probable that an umpire never puts q
player out of a game without ample cause
The rules give the judge of the play suffi-
