DRUNKENNESS OF ANIMALS

Most OF the Higher Glass Have n Natural
Fondncss for Fermented Liquors.
Most of the higher animals-as mon
keys, elephants, bears, horses and dogs
have a natural fondness for ferment-
ed liquors, and suffer from the abuse
of these liquors as men do. From
the book of Maccabees it is evil
dent that war elephants were mad
dened CT old with new vine, as they
have been and are with arrack down
Co the present time. Managers of
menageries and employees ut the vari-
GUS geological gardens know that the
elephants under their care are pre-
pared to so on a wild drunk when
ever opportunity offers. Whisky is
officially given them when they are i'll

monkeys drink beer like German stu
dents, and love whisky equally we'll.
An Africa the natives make use of this
evil trait to capture their poor rela-
lions The monkeys there are ex-
tremely fond of a beer brewed by the
natives. So the latter place quanti-

the monkeys, and wait until their vic

this state they are unable to recog-

on. A single negro may sometimes be
seen carrying off string of stagger-
ing monkeys. Fresh doses Of beer in
decreasing quantities are administered
TO the captives, so that they may only
gradually awaken to the sad results OF
their spree.

VnInnhIe Almnnncs.

An almanac that is issued by the
Chinese government is considered the
most elaborate one in the world. 1t is
IN u thick volumes, which give full
information as to the lucky times and
places for performing the acts of
everyday life.
The most valuable almanac ever
made is in the British museum, and it
is priceless. 1t is said TO be at least
5000 years old. The days are written
In red ink on papyrus in columns, and
under each is a figure, followed by
three characters signifying the proba-
bile state of the weather for that day.
The most curious calendar at pres
ent in use is that of the natives OF
Central America, where the months
are only 20 days in length, and these
are named after animals.
The most expensive almanac is the
british Nautical Almanac" which
costs that nation yearly the sum of
1870.

A MOB IN PARIS.
Greets Colonel Picquart Whenever
He Goes Out

Paris, Sept. 23.-Everything tends to
confirm the opinion that General Zurlin-
den, in ordering the military trial of Colo
mel Picquart, acted entirely upon his own
initiative.
The Temps declares that the cabinet had
iously refused to sanction General
Zurlinden's proposal to prosecute Colonel
Picquart and that General Zurlfnden,
therefore, waited until he had resumed
he acted upon his own authority.
Upon leaving the LaSante prison, Colo
mel Picquart had a portmanteau and port
folio. He looked pale and careworn- The
blinds of the fiacre were drawn directly
he entered it.
mob which had been bowling outside
the prison rushed toward Picquart as he
emerged. shaking their fists and shout
ing some for and some against him. a
similar mob waited at the Cherche Midi
prison. A detachment of military in both
cases protected Picquart-
A majority of the papers denounce this
military coup with varying degrees of Sc
verify. NJ. Clemenceau, in the Aurore,
charges NJ. Brisson with cowardice or i'm
becility and couples President Faure'S
name with that of General Zurlinden in
the alleged plot to suppress the truth and
defeat Justice. NJ. Clemenceau dwells
strongly on the mauvais chances of the
Cherche Midi prison and credits the ex-
war minister with the remark: IF Cen
eraI MERCER had not been so soft-hearted
Another paper, the Droits de L Hom me,
abuses NJ. Faure with the greatest viru-
1ence and accuses him Of employing M.
Brisson to make coup d'etat. 1t points
out that President Faure'S military friends
hold all the strong posts.
