CHICO PROVED A GOOD SAILOR.
story OF u Monkey Who Did About
Everything ON Board,


Everything ON Board,
From the New York Tribune.
Chico is the name of a monkey that land
ed at this port yesterday with the crew
OF the ship Clyde. While Chico did not
regularly sign the ships articles when he
boarded her at Calcutta. he was at least
considered one of the crew and faithfully
responded to the routine of duty. Captain
Hlider OF the Clyde obtained the monkey
at Calcutta and Immediately proceeded to
train 1t to understand it's duties on board
ship. Its first training was to amuse the
sailors, and In this 1t succeeded we'll. In
fact. it did more than amuse. It even tor.
mented the men on the ship. Thew soon
began to understand that If any particu-
lar piece OF clothing was missing II was
Chico's fault Many q jacket and can
disappeared On the voyage and at all
times the loss was laid to the pernfcious
habits OF the monkey When Chico reach
ed the latitude where 1t became apparent
that he was suffering from the cold Cap
tain Hilder fitted him out with a complete
set of Jack Tar's toys. Chico at once an.
preciated his Importance, and from that
day on he walked erect and acted In every
way like full-fedged sailor. He respond
ed promptly to the sound OF eight bells,
and took his meals the same as any other
sailor on the ship.
When the ship was docked. at Noble
street, Greenpoint, yesterday, Chico at once
became the center Of attraction. He mount
ed the ships rail and dotted his sailor 8
cap to the men on the pier. Chico IL only
in activity for his small size. Captain
Hilder will take Chico with him on his
return trip to the east, SO there will be no
trouble about his landing at this port.

Workfngmcn Students in London.

Worktngmcn Students In London.
From the London Telegraph.
Upwards of 800 members and friends OF
the Old Students Club of the Working
Mems College assembled on Saturday at
the twenty-first annual supper, Mr.. G.
Tansley, one of the founders, in the char.
Forty-four years ago this institution was
commenced, and soon after had under its
care 400 students, and now there are over
1000. Nearly all the work is labor of
love, and the students merely pay sixty
two cents for one class and twenty-five
cents for others per term to help in meet
ing the necessary expenses. The classes
are composed entirely of working men and
lads, who take up studies in which they
are nterested-mainly literature, art and
languages-and in more than one instance
the pupils have returned as teachers. One
man, porter in the city. had so success
fully studied art that he afterward taught
classes here, and he would have been at
the supper on Saturday night, only as he
wrote, at his age-Seventy-four years-his
cwn hearth had more attractions for him,
but he sent a small gift 10 meet current
expenses. Going with the times, an effort
is now to be made to enlarge the building
and give technical education within its
walls. DIR. Garnett, who was among the
guests. in reply to the toast of the visitors,
said that during the past four or five years
technical education institutions had sprung
up in London which collectively instructed
some 4oub students. 1t was necessary
that We should keep up our position in
trade. Everywhere abroad goods which
were not English were sold as English, and
surely that was proof that our manufac-
lures were still considered the best. We
must study the markets of the world and
learn what customers wanted, and how
they desired their goods to be packed and
invoiced. Higher commercial classes for
agents must be provided. and that should
be the work of educational institutions
such as this college.

TRAINING OF FIRENEN.
All Are Athletes and No towards Get
Into the Department.
From the Century.

Firemen are athletes as a matter Of
not hold their places for a week. even IL
they could get into them at ALL The mere
handling of the scaling ladders, which,
light though they seem, weigh from sixteen
to forty pounds. requires unusual strength
No particular skill is needed. A man need
only have steady nerve. and the strength to
raise the long pole by its narrow end and
jam the iron hook through a window which
he cannot see, but knows is there. Once
through the teeth I'm the hook and the
mans weight upon the ladder hold IL safe
and there is no real danger unless he loses
MS head Against that possibility the
severe drill in the school of instruction is
the barrier. Any one to whom climbing at
dizzy heights, or doing the hundred and one
things of peril to ordinary men. which fire.
men are constantly called upon TO do,
causes the least discomfort, is rejected as
unit. About per cent of all appointees
are eliminated by the ladder test. and never
get beyond their probation service. A GER
tain smaller percentage takes itself out
through loss of nerve" generally. The first
experience of room full of smothering
smoke. with the fire roaring overhead Is
generally sufficient to convince the timid
that the service is not for him. No towards
are dismissed from the department, for the
reason that none get into it.
The notion that there is "a life-saving
corps from the general DO1y OF nfe-
men rests upon a mistake. They are one.
Every fireman nowadays must pass muster
at life-saving drill, must climb to the top
of any building on his scaling-laddcr, slide
down with a rescued comrade. or jump with
out hesitation from the third story into the
life-net spread below. BY such training the
men are fitted for their work, and the occa-
sion comes soon that puts them to the test.
1t came to Daniel J. Meagher, foreman of
Hook and Ladder Company No. 3. when i'm
the midnight hour a woman hung from the
fifth-story window of burning building.
and the longest ladder at hand fell short ten
or dozen feet of reaching her. The bold
est man in the crew had vainly attempted
to reach her and In the effort had sprained
his foot. There were no scaling-ladders
then. Meagher ordered the rest to plant
the ladder on the stoop and hold it out from
the building that he might reach the
very topmost step. Balanced thus where
the slightest tremor might have caused lad
der and all TO crash to the ground, he babe
the woman drop. and receiving her i'm his
arms carried her down safe.

a United States report on Austria
as a grain-produc'~- country says:
From statistics IL s evident that
marked change has occurred during
the last few years as regards the grain
situation in Austria-Hungary. Not
only in the case OF wheat, but also IN
that Of the various other cereals, the
tendency has been towards a larger
home consumption Of the national pro
duct and q consequent reduction OF the
surplus available for shipment to 9th
er lands To such an extent have the
exports declined and the imports in
creased that most Of the cereals are
now brought into the country In lar
ger quantities than they are exported
Barley Is the only grain OF which any
considerable amount continues 20 be
shipped abroad. In respect to other
cereals, the status of the Monarchy is
apparently that OF transition from an
exporting into an importing country.
While it is hardly to be expes,ted that
these changed conditions will 10 any
considerable extent create an enlarged
demand for American cereals, the facts
set forth are certainly of interest as
Indicating the lessened importance of
Austria-Hungary among the countries
with which the United States Is oblig-
ed to compete in the grain marts Of
the world.
