Monkey on a Wheel.

There is very popular monkey at
the geological gardens of the Prater
at Vienna, and she is much admired.
Miss Maia has IN exquisite bicycle,
which she rides to perfection, initiating
to nicely all the movements Of
cyclists. She jumps into the saddle
without touching the pedals, kisses
her hand to everybody, while she
waits for the signal, then fits of at q
splendid pace. From the wheel she
jumps on a trapeze and then on the
wheel again before 1t can fall. When
she has shown all her arts and graces
she claps her hands, calling upon the
public to applaud. She thanks prettily
for applause by bowling and putting
her hand to her heart.
The monkey has not been trained at
all-only made to look on while men
and women cycled. She has taught
herself everything without any ones
help. When money is given to her
she runs to her nurse, takes her purse
and puts it in. 1t has been proposed
to let her have one of the many cycling
medals distributed in Vienna, but the
societies refuse to give 1t to her. -

Chor1ock in,sprIng Grain.

If there appear yellow flowers Scat
tered here md there through fields of
oats or barley, when these cereals have
grown d few inches high, it is a sign
that the field needs attention and weed
ing. This yellow flower belongs to
the mustard family, and is an intoler-
able pest In spring grain. 1t only grows
on ground disturbed in spring. Each
plant bears hundreds to thousands OF
seeds, and as these will lie in the ground
for years, and only grow when the
ground Is spring plowed. they soor
make the growing OF spring grain i'm
possible. Wherever rh!s pest abounds
seeding should be done with winter
wheat or rye and no spring cultiva-
tlon Of these grotns can be allowed, as
Ibis viii start the weed to growing,
Just as it would in spring grain.

On The Rnttlefeld

ganization known as the Woman's Relief
Corps, whose aid to the soldier of to-day,

One of the most earnest members of the
corps at Byron, ILL.,, is Mrs. james House
weart, but illness once put stop to her
active work. A year or so ago, when she
was nearing fifty years of age, the time
whom women must be most careful OF their
strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken
seriously iii. The family physician told
her that she had reached critical period
OF her life, and must DO very careful.
His prescriptions end treatment did not
benefit her, and other treatment proved un-
awaiting.
AT last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with
indisputable evidence that they were help-
full In eases such as hers, and with renewed
hope she tried tho remedy. Last March
she took the first box OF the pills, which
gave much rolief. She was determined to
be cured, and kept on with the medicine,
until new eight boxes have been consumed,
and she feels like new woman.
Mrs. Housoweart said: ~ have taken
only eight boxes, but have been improv-
ing since I took the first dose. l do not
believe 1 could have lived without the
pills. They certainly have done me more
good than any physician or any medicine
have ever tried.''

Put to shame by an Elephant.

The newspapers Of Brussels relate
curious incident which is not with.
out moral. Not long ago an ele-
plant, passing from one geological
garden to another, was marching
through Anderlecht,a suburb of Brus-
sells, in charge of its cornac or driver,
Passing an alehouse, the cornac, who
was of drinking habits, paused, dis
mounted, left the elephant alone out
side the door, and went into the ale
house.
There he must have found the en-
tertainmeht to his liking, for he did
not return promptly. A crowd gath
cred about the elephant. The people
were more or less afraid of the crea-
ture, but he had no disposition to hurt
ant one. He was, indeed, much more
humane and worthy Of praise than his
driver.
BE soon began to swing to and fro
ina nervous manner, and to look I'M
easily at the door of tho alehouse.
Thus he waited, his uneasipess In
creasing, and still his driver did not
appear. 1t happened that the ale
house was an old building with large
front door. The elephant, alter watch
ing the door for some time, apparently
made up his mind that he could get
through it, and with one rush, seeing
the door opened by some passer, he
made for it.
His head and neck and part of his
shoulders he managed to get through,
but then he stuck fast. He pushed
and squeezed, but only stuck the
faster. The whole building began to
tremble.
Allwas CONSERVATION within the ale
house. The occupants and guests
fancied that their last hour had come.
Those who got near enough saw the
poor animals head and trunk thrust
in and his little eyes glaring and
bullying, and all hands could hear his
trumpetings and groanings.
The crowd outside kept at a re-
spectful distance, for it seemed as il

The Rival Hoppers.
Beneath tree with spreading boughs,
On margin OF pool,
A bloated frog crooked merrily,
Famed by the breezes cool.
His vls-a-vis a grasshopper
Upon the other shore,
Whose famous leaps are chronicled
In books of childish lore.
Now both were hoppers Of renown;
The one that was so thin
Sent swift challenge to the frog
To jump-and see who'd win.
A twinkle shone In frogeie's eye,
He answered with wink;
Then both shot upward in the air,
And then-what do you think?
Why, froggie settled down again
Beneath toadstool gray,
Ready for other bits as sweet
That chanced along his way, y
For crafty was the heart that beat
Beneath that notified coat;
He timed his leap so grBsshopper
Jumped right down froggie's throat.

their sense of smell. To discover
whether the colors of flowers exerted
any attraction the bright petals of
some single dahlias, lobelias, evening
primroses, foxgloves and other flowers
were covered with bits of green leaf or
removed altogether, but in every case
the flowers were found to be freely
visited. No special distinction was
made by the insects between the mutt
lated flowers and those that were

flowers. On the other hand, the scarlet

was placed upon them. The young
