fore hiIn is placed a set of blocks on

ters of the alphabet. These blocks are
in. fact, exactly similar to those which
children play with in every civilized
country in the world, and they are
used in precisely the same way as if
the monkey We're a young specimen of
the human race. There is one professor
for each monkey, and the monkey is
taught by means of the blocks TO spell
certain words. If the word is fruit"
for example, the monkey, after having
been taught TO arrange the blocks so
rs to spell the word quickly and with
out error. receives a bit ot fruit as his
reward. The same exercise is repeated
with other words; and it is hoped that
in time the simians will learn how
to read and spell and understand Eng
lish, if they cannot speak it. An effort
will also be made, it is said, to educate
these beasts so that they may become
fairly efficient domestic servants The
school is so young as yet, however, that
what it will accomplish is entirely
matter of speculation. It's professors
are enthusiastic about their novel work
and seem to think that new field OF
usefulness will be opened up for these
chatterng little beasts.

SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS.

Geiatinous Sub stance Spread on Galvan-
lied Iron Web.
The first successful substitute for
glass" says an architect in the Wash
ingtOH Times, ''is tectorium. a gelatin
Gus composition. 1t has not appeared
in this country at all, as yet, but is
being introduced in Europe.
This gelatinous substance is given
rigiditv by being spread on n galvan-
lied iron web, which holds the sheet
in any desired shape. but does not OBJ
struct the passage of light. It's trans
lucent. but not transparent, land can be
stained in such a manner as to exactly
initiate stained glass.
at cannot be broken nor softened by
the rays of the sun. but is flexible and
easily bent into any desired shape.
When unstained it at first is yellow,
but on exposure to the sun it turns
white. at the same time becoming hard
cr and more durable.
Like glass. it is poor conductor OF
heat. 1t is lighter than glass, and on
this account is we'll adapted for roofs.
Unless il can be made transparent it
can never hope to entirely supersede
glass, but its cheapness and SUI
periority to glass in other direc-
tions are securing for it extensive sales
for factory windows, skylights for not
houses, roofing and like purposes"

POWER OF A WOMAN'S WORD.
1t Overcamc the Wrath OF An Unfeeling
Policeman.


Policeman.
The following pretty story is taken
from the New York Mail and Express,
and is good enough to stand by itself.
He was only an Italian fruit-vender.
Their was nothing about him at all like
ly TO inspire the beholdeC with feeling.
one way or another. He was not
ragged enough to call for especial sym
pathy, nor unkempt enough to provoke
disgust. Yet to the policeman on his
beat he was undoubtedly the object Of
considerable aversion. This was shown
by the unrelenting vigor with which
the fruit-seller was pursued from cor
ner to corner by the Jealous guardian of
the law.
The other day, in too hurried re-
sponse to the everlasting order to
'move on" the peddler's cart was upset,
and his peaches and pears were scat
tered over the ground and across the
street car track. The enraged police
man could barely restrain the impulse
to use his club.
The dirty loafer!" he exclaimed.
''He did it on purpose-just trying to
excite sympathy."
''He has succeeded, then," said a soft
voice at the officers elbow, and neat
little woman stopped and began to
gather up the scattered fruit.
The officers face reddened. He hesi-
tated a moment, and then he, too,
joined in the work of restoration.

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
How the Mojavcs Explain the Division o
the Kaces

the Races.
The mystery surrounding the origin
OF the Indian race is greatly enhanced
by listening to some of the quaint leg
ends, says the Los Angeles Herald. Here
is one of them, related by the Older
men of the Moirye tribe:
AT the time of the Moiave, the white
man, the negro. ana all other people
lived together with their god. Mule
velia, whose mother was the earth. and
whose father the heaven.
They were all supplied with food,
clothing, and many iuNurics. BESIDES
these they had tools and all kinds of i'm
plcments and machinery TO work with
"Everything was manufactured. and
especially matches.
"One day Muicyclia died. and all the
people. excepting the Moiavcs. fled. aft
er looting the camps of everything / hey
could lay their hands on. not even Icav
ing a match.
Here was pretty state of affairs,
and the dead god awaiting cremation!
"Thcre seemed to be no other alterna-
tive than TO dispatch II messenger for
spark from one Of the brilliant u
minaries Of the upper region, and n coy
ote was sent to a star for some fire.
after long time he returned with
out success, and so hungry that he
tried to eat up the dead god.
'Mastanho, the man, sat by rubbing
willow sticks together, and produced
fire, which they used in burning up
Mnlevelia.
after the cremation, which took
place somewhere near Fort Mojave, the
mountains at the foot of the canyon
parted and the Colorado flowed through
and swept the ashes away.
'Mastanho now became chief and di-
vided the Indians into tribes and gave
them their allotments of land"

IMPORTED FLIES.
Insects Caught in the Swanps OF Mexico
Brought Here.

AhSectR NauSnL IN the SWahpS Mexico
Brought Here.
The report made from Laredo to the
treasury department at Washington
make constant reference TO one of the
queerest articles of import brought into
this country. These are dried Mexican
flies, which are brought to the United
States in large quantities 10 be used as
food for pet singing birds.
These flies live in the swamps IN vari-
ous sections in Mexico, where they are
caught by men who devote their lives
tc the work. The fly catchers use
siiAen net. and make n large haul at
every east. The individual fly is called
moscos. 1t is small and delicate, and
its whole body has the appearance of
having been eilded.
The flies when alive are beautiful and
harmless. There is duty on these
Mexican flies. doubtless to encourage
the home fly industry. but up to the
present time the moscos business has
not flourished in this country to any
marked extent. The imported flies are
packed in barrels, and shey sell for
high price.

We call him the funny man because
he was sad and serious, and said little
but gazed right into our souls and made
US tell him just what was in our minds
at the time, and then came out with
some magnif.ently luminous sugges-
tion that cleared every cloud away, says
Scribner's. What was more. he would
then go off with liz; at once and play the
right thing out to its finish, earnestly
and devoutedediy, putting all other
things aside. So we called him the fur
ny man, meaning only that he was diff
ferent from those others who thought
it incumbent on them to play the pair
full hummer. The idea as opposed to
the real man was what we meant, only
we were not acquainted with the
phrase. Those others, with their la
bored jests and clumsy contortions,
doubtless fattered themselves that
they were funny men; we, who had to
sit through and applaud the painful
performance, knew better.

caught sight of lis, and the dogcaIt

For you never knew exactly what the
man might say or do.

He asked this in such sad earnestnes5

were not married. Though we felt lie

Mountains.
The road from Castlow to Anderson,
Vile is through one of the toughest re
gions Of Kentucky, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Robberies are frequent, and
many Il brave man has hesitated and
looked we'll to his gun before entering
on the trip. To Mrs. Minton, however,
the highway has no terrors. She enjoys
the unique distinction of being proba-
bly, the only female mail-carrier in
Uncle Sans service who rides horse
back fearlcsSly through the forests
with her pouch, which contains the
misSiyCS which are the only means OF
communication with the world at large
to the residents Of AnderScnville.
She is 4 typical Kentucky mountain
girl, active. strong. fearless and very
intelligent. She is an excellent horse
woman. No animal is too high spirited
soT her. nor does she need help in
mounting and dismounting. With the
mail pouch thrown across the pommc]
of her saddle. she rides fearlessly along
the lonely highway, and = is safe TO
say that anyone interfering with Uncle
Sans mail would have to be a better
and quicker shot than the ordinary
man. or very we'll mounted. TO stop this
mail.
Mrs. Ninton has been married two
years. It was from her own inclination
to help earn money that she took the
contract TO carry the mails for three
years. She has now completed eight
months of her contract.
Peculiar Aversions-
Most people have aversions of some

touch polished steel The sight of the
rising moon, when it was full, always

Dean Swift has said that Bolingbroke
would "act like one bereft should he

Disraeli had an attack of vertigo when
