NEW SCHOOL FOR MONKEYS.

ants.
There has just been founded at CAL
cutta an institution for the education
of monkeys, says an exchange.
A young monkey is taken and be-
fore him is placed a set of blocks ON
which are painted in capitals the let
ters of thealphabet. 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 were 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
Us to spell the word quickly and with
out error, receives a bit Of 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 lit will accomplish is entirely a
matter of speculation. It's professors
are enthusiastic about their novel work
and seem 10 think that new field Of

GOLD MINES OF GUIANA.
No Ono Knows Whether They Are in Any
of the Disputed Territory.

NO ono Knows Whether They Are in Any
of the Disputed Territory.
There are to-day, in what is prob
ably indisputable British territory,
placer gold washings of value. Here an
industrious man, if successful. can
make handsome days wages by his Ia
Dor, but nothing more. The formation
is known as pocket gold; in other words.
the action of water has brought from
some place gold, which has collected in
pockets, SO that when one of these is
found the finder is well rewarded for
his labor. But as yet in no place have
sufficiently extensive deposits of gold
been found to warrant the construction
Of the necessary works and the en-
ployment of hydraulic machines for
use in obtaining the gold. This, there
fore, prevents the entering of capital,
the formation of large interests and
the production of gold in much GUAM
tity.
The Callao mine, which is the one
great exception, began with capital
ization of 100000, of which a portion
represented the concession and the
land. For four years it was operated
without yielding dividends, while in the
next period of 20 years it distributed
$15,0O0.000 in dividends and the same
amount of stock. After that period.
SO far as I am aware, no authentic in
TO. nation exists. Now, however, it is
believed that the mine is worked out.
Apparently the "poclzeting" formation
also appeared in this lode, for the story
is told that the lode ended one dav.
and no man could say whittier it went.
1t did not run out; it simply stopped.
One theory is that an earthquake dis
turbance caused break, the lost por-
ton being either lifted up or lowered
down or moved side wise, so that it
cannot be told where it is. Therefore

THE "FUNNY MAN."

ten IT.

ten It.
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 magnifcently luminous sugges-
ton that cleared every cloud away, says
Scribner's. What was more, he would
then go off with us at once and play the
right thing out to it's finish, earnestly
and devoutededly, putting all other
things aside. So we called him the fun
ny man, meaning only that he was diff
ferent from those others who thought
it incumbent on them to play the pain
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 ticir 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.
He pulled up to a walk as soon as he
caught sight of us, and the dogca1t
crawled slowly along till it stopped just
opposite. Then he leaned his chin On
his hand and regarded us long and soul
fully, yet said never word; while we
jigged up and down in the dust, grin
ming bashfully, but with expectation.
For you never knew exactly what the
man might say or do.
"You look bored" he remarked, pres
emily; Thoroughly bored. Or else-let
me see; you're not married, are you?"
He asked this in such sad earnestness
that we FASTENED to assure him that we
were not married. Though we felt he
ought to have known that much; we
had been intimate for some time.

DecoIiette Gowns.
Some years ago there was an old lady
in one of the southern capitals who not
ONLY wore decollcte ball dresses at so,
but actually possessed the lovely neck
and arms which they require, says the
New York Ledger. She was most in
nocently vain; and no wonder, for she
was immensely hattered and her towns
people valued her charms far above
those of her young and more beautiful
rivals. She had a curious way of pre-
pairing for ball, which our modern
fashionable women, with their multi
tudinous engagements would find diff
fcult to emulate. The morning before
she proposed appearing in full regalia
she would take n brisk walk and re-
turn in time for midday dinner, after
which she remained quiet with her
work until about three or four o'clock,
when she would retire to her bed, take
very hot ptisan to induce perspiration,
and remain in bed (partalling Of some
light refreshment at the tea hour) until
it was time to dress for her ball. Then
she would get up, take bath and make
the most elaborate toilet. All the house
hold regarded these preparations in the
light of solemn rites, and would never
have dreamed of laughing at them Or
interfering with them in any way. Her
appearance was a triumph, never fail
ing to excite the greatest admiration

IMPORTED FLIES.
Insects Caught in the Swamps OF Mexic
Brought Here.

AnsecCs Caughe In the SWAmp0 OF 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 to be used as
food for pet singing birds.
These flies live in the swamps in vari-
Gus sections in Mexico, where they are
caught by men who devote their lives
to the work. The fly catchers use a
silfen net, and make a large haul at
every cast. The individual fly is called
moscos. It is small and delicate, and
it's whole body has the appearance OF
having been gilded.
The flies when alive are beautiful and
harmless. There is a duty on these
Mexican flies. doubtless to encourage
the home fly industry, but up to the
present time the moscos business has
not 1ourished in this country to any
marked extent. The imported flies are
packed in barrels, and they sell for a
high price.

THE TSAR'S GOOD SENSE,
He Sits Worthy Example for His Arts
tOcratic Subordfnates

He Sits Worthy Example for His Aris-
tocratic Subordinates.
There is probably no class of people
i'll the world so stiff-necked in their own
etiquette as the officers of the crack
regiments in ST. Petersburg. Since
Nicholas II. became tsar he has endeav-
ored to discredit the notion that an
army officer should not ride in a street
car. In ST. Petersburg the army officer
has long considered himself too su-
perior to the common civilian to share
with him this vulgar" mode of con-
veyance.
A few weeks ago one of the few I'M
titled officers in the Russian capital VEN
tured to ride in a street car to his bar
racks. 1t was a presumptuous and
courageous act, for he had to alight be-
fore the fashionable cavalryman's club
OF the city. But it proved an uncom-
Portable act, for his fellow-officers de-
c]ared that he had disgraced his uni
form, and refused to listen to his quota
tons of the tsar's remarks on the sub
ject.
After some days the colonel of the reg
iment urged upon the officer the pro-
priety of resigning his commission. He
gave as a reason his feeling, and that of
ether officers, that he had committed e,
degrading offense by associating with
the populace in street car. In his dis
treSs, the unfortunate officer turned to
a friend in high official rank, who told
the tsar of the affair. Nicholas heard
the story at four in the afternoon. He
Immediately put on a. dark suit, and
with his adjutant went to the locality
where the officer had taken the car,
boarded one and rode ON it to the bar
racks. He there alighted and getting
on returning car, went back to the
palace.
The next day the colonel of the aris-
tocratic regiment in question received
a full autograph account of the trip,
which the young ruler endedw with these
words:
"Am I still worthy to wear the uni
form of Russian officer? Nicholas"
OF course, there could only be one an
swer to that question. There is now in
that regiment significant reserve and
silence, respecting riding with despised
plebians, and titled snobs fall over each
other to see who can signal a passing
car first.
The tsar deserves respect for his con-
duct. If he shows as sound common
sense in all state matters as he has
shown in this little affair, his reign will
not be deadly conservatism that clings
to old forms and smothersprogress and
reform in it's stagnant embrace

GRANT AS a YOUNG D.-BATER.
Took n Prominent fart in Kentucky
Club.

Arnarentlv Grant entered the Philo-
mathean Debating club, Maysville, KY,
for the first time at its thirty-third meet
ing. January 8, 1887. He took pro1ni-
nent part at once, says McClure's. BY a
curious coincidence, the question for
this first evening was: "Resolved, That
the Texans were not justifiable III giving
Santa Anna his liberty" In the names
of the debaters this night there APP
peared on the record H. L. Grant. He
was on the affirmative side. He was
on the affirmative side at the thirty.
fourth meeting, with this question::
"Resolved, That females WELD greater
influence in society than the males"
The affirmative side won in this case
as well as the other. At the thirty-fifth
meeting his name appears on the affirm
ative of the question Ca very vital one
at that time): "Resolved That it would
not be Just and polite to liberate the
slaves at this time" Again he was on
the winning side. At the thirty-siXth
meeting the name appears ~. Grant
on the affirmative side of the resolution
that "Intemperance is a greater evil
than war"
At the thirty-seventh meeting he was
elected, together with his friend, A. II.
MARYLAND, and W. Richeson, as a MEM
Der of the committee; he also took part
in the debate On the question: ere
solved, That Socrates was right in not
escaping when the prison doors were
opened to him." He took the affirma-
tive and it was again the successful side.
And in all the succeeding meetings,
down to March 81, 1897, the record
shows him to have been active, but after
that date his name does not appear.
The probabilities are that he returned

A YAMAGATA BABY.
Corn In California to the Daughter Of 6
Famous japanese Field Marshal.

Corn In California to the Daughter of a
Famous Japanese Field Marshal.
Born on Sunday, November IS, at
Oakland, CAL, to Matsullo Yamagata,
daughter Of Marquis Yamagata, field
marshal of Japan, and wife of Yoskira,
Funalloshi, vice consul Of Japan, d;
son, weight nine pounds; mother and
child are doing well, says the New York
Journal.
Not this message exactly, but it's sub
stance arrived in New York, destined by
cable for the distinguished commander
OF the Japanese army, and presumably
he was for that day at least the happiest
man in the millado's realm. This child
is the only heir of the famous Japan
csc families of Funakoshi and Yama-
gaia. The mother is the only child
of the marquis, who is awidower. And
he has an adopted son who will per-
petuate his name.
The daughter of the marquis is about
is years of age and her husband is IS.
She was educated in Miss Princes Eng
fish school for girls in Tokyo, and her
husband spent eight years in the uni
versities of Berlin, Strasburg and Tu-
bingen. He speaks German almost as
fuently as japanese and English quite
well, understanding it perfectly.
