An Invisible Monkey.

There are many animals, especially
birds and insects, which mimic in
their colors and shapes the natural
objects amid which they dwell, and
thus frequently escape the eyes Of
their enemies. but, as DR.. Lydekker
saws in knowledge, "Until quite re-
Gently no case was known where a
monkey, for the sake of protection,
resembled in form or coloration either
some other animal or an inanimate
object" Such monkeys were dlscov-
cred by DR.. J. W. Gregory during his
recent journey in East Africa. Near
relatives of the monkeys seen by HIM
have long been known to naturallsts
and have excited surprise by the bril-
liant contrast of the black fur cover
inc their body and limbs with the
sn0ow-white mantle of long, silky hair
hanging from their shoulders and the
equally white plumes on their tails.
The contrast, DR.. Gregory found,
serves to render the animals practi-
callv invisible, for the trees which they
;nhabit have .sblack stems and are
draped with pendant masses OF gray
White liehen, amid which the monkeys
can hardly be distinguished.

The Home Laundry.

In many houses the laundry is sep
arate from the kitchen and is fitted, or
can be fitted at small cost with all the
attributes for excellent work. The
stove, tubs and ironing table are sta
tionary. The tubs are porcelain or
porcelain or zinc lined, and should be
kept scrupulously clean; boiler,
which, for the sake of economy after
the first expenditure, should be of
copper, or at least copper-bottomed,
should be carefully dried after using
to prevent rust; long stick, usually
the handle of Oh old broom, is con-
veniently at hand and is used to press
the clothes under the when they are
in the boiler, and also to lift them out;
clothes=w ringer, Of which there are
many good ones on the market, and
clotheslines and clothespins, the for,
mer of which should be taken down
after each weeks wash, and the latter,
the best OF which are made of wood,
should be kept perfectly clean by al
occasional washing, are the actua
washing necessities.
The ironing requisites are first,

which, when this process is completed
may be covered with an ironing blan
ket and sheet and converted into al
ironing table; it should be sufficient.

| may be exerted over the iron. This
table is used for all the plain pieces
For skirts and shirts, regular boards
covered in the same way as the table
are used, the skirtboard being abou
six feet long by one foot wide and tn
shirtboard, little larger than the DO
som of the shirt. The irons mos
commonly used are either the tiatirol
or the sadiron. Holders are made o
old, soft pieces of material covere
with muslin, and the stand may be al

anything else that will not soil tn

proper washing materials and the
iudicious use. Buffalo Evening Times

Sees With His Nose.

An extraordinary case is reported
by French medical man named Dom
lot. A man who had lost his right
eye some years before, while still a
child, fell from cherry tree, his face
striking upon sharp stick in such a
way that the nose, the cheek and the
left eye, with the eyelids and the eye
brows, were horribly mutilated. The
attendant surgeon believed the eye
ball had been completely torn away,
the patient, of course, being left
sightless. A year afterward the man
was surprised to notice that he could
distinguish daylight and the colors of
flowers through his nose, and his vi
sion improved until lie was able to see
all objects below, though still insen-
sible to light from above. A simple
explanation is found. The blow, fall
ing obliquely upon the eyeball, must
have permitted the escape of the hu-
mors of the eye, and pierced the
orbit, but without injuring the men,
branes, particularly the retina. On
healing there must have remained In
the bony case behind the closed lids
a small opening putting the eye cav
ity in communication with the nasal
fossal, thus permitting the light to
reach the retina through the nose. II
is pointed ont thnt this serves as ex.
detrimental proof Of the theory COM
pairing the retipa to a darkroom
screen, on which images of outside
objects are formed, even without re-
fracting lenses, when the light rays
come through very narrow opening

An Ancient Agricultural Implement.

An agricultural relic of considerable
interest was unearthed recently on
the farm of Amos Buckman, in Spring
field township, Delaware county.
Buckman's farm is known as the
"Levis Homestead" and is said to be
the oldest place in the county, the
title dating back to William Penn's
time. The farmhouse, solid stone
structure, about 250 years old, has be-
gun to show signs Of age, and recent
ly steps we're taken to put it in re-
pair. Preparations were made to re.
shingle the roof, but before this could
be done it was necessary to tear down
and rebuild the large chimney. The
men engaged at is work had RACED
the chimney to the level of the roo1
when they came to large, fiat piece o.
iron which had been put in to brace
the chimney against the stone wall
This was torn out and thrown to thu
ground, when one of the workmen no
ticed its odd shape. After the mortal
had been cleaned off it was examined
and proved to be an old-fashione'
"sod cutter" A name was sunk OF
it, of which only the three last let
ters (sis) could be made out, but tn
date, 1853, is fairly legible. At tina
time the plows were very primitive
vet they had in a crude form the cut
tiers still frequently used on moderl
plows to open the way for the share
Owing to the mortar the cutter i
we'll preserved, but the worn edges al
test that it had turned many furro'
in its palmy days before it was bui
into the chimney.-Philadelphia Re-

A Wonderful Flower.

AT the London Temple flower show
the Acalypha Sanderi, which halls
from New Guinea, was exhibited for
the first time in England. The ia
nous plant hunter, NJ. Micholitz, was
travelling in q remote district OF New
Guinea, inhabited by fierce cannibals,
when he came across beautiful flow
ering plant, which spraug up not only
from the ground, but from the tops OF
the mud huts of the natives.
The expedition was of sufficient
strength to overawe the savages, and
NJ. Micholitz, delighted at his discov-
cry, caused several specimens to be
collected. So sure was he that their
beauty would cause furore in Eng
land that he accompanied the consign-
ment over $500 miles to Singapore, in
order to see that elephants were safely
dispatched from that port.
The Acalypha sanaeri is a green
leaved species, with spikes of gor
geous crimson flowers hanging from
every node. These beautiful fora
spikes are from twenty to thirty inches
long, and as thick as an ordinary walk
ing stick. Allthe year round it send
forth its glowing pendants, and as it
initial cost will be small it is likely tt
be popular with those of modest purse
who love the presence of floral beau
ties.-New York World.

Ironing Muslins and Lawns.

The ability to do fine ironing is
valuable accomplishment for the girl
who dresses on an allowance, and who,
with a small 9ncome, is anxious to
dress we'll. There is nothing prettier
for young girl, especially during the
warm weather than white. Simple
lawns and muslins and china silks are
not expensive to begin with-it is the
laundry work which costs. Not one
washerwoman in dozen can really
do them up properly, and when the
thirteenth woman is found, even if
you can secure her services, you must
pay we'll for them. 1t is not the
washing in these days of good soaps
which counts, but the ironing, and
the girl who can do this is practically
Independent and may dress in white
whenever she pleases, with no fear OF
the cost.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Of the bog moss sphagnum there
are no fewer than 215 species, about
600 varieties.
Astronomers say that in our solar
system there are at least 1900, 900
comets of all sizes.
Copra is preparation of the cocoa
nut made in great quantities in tropi-

The moon moves through space at
the rate of 1888 feet per second. Its
mean distance from the earth is 238-
$50 miles.
There is 81 per cent. of water and
Is per cent. of solids in milk. The
sugar in the solids is in greater pro-
portion than in any other solid.
The Maledive Archipelago, west of
Ceylon, embraces IA, 600 coral islands,
few of which are more than six feet
above the level of the ocean and only
ITS of which are inhabited.
Smokers are less liable than non
smokers to contract diphtheria and
other throat diseases in the ratio of
one to twenty-eight. So says Pro-
fessor Hajak of Vienna, Austria.
A novel cure for consumption, it is
said, has been for some time in use
by DR.. J. B. Murphy of Chicago. The
remedy consists in the hypodermic in
lection of pure nitrogen into the lungs,
The production of electrical energy
by the direct action of the atmosphere
is now claimed to be possible with q

Begging at the Wrong House.

The keeper Of shop in an English
town was standing in his door, says
the London Telegraph, when he was
accosted by q man with wooden leg
and crutch.
81 want you to do me favor" the
man said. 81 want to leave my leg
with you for few minutes, and go
round the next street and work house
for half crown. I've an idea that the
folks are very sympathetic. 1t go
with one leg I'm sure to fetch EN-"
every WE'LL" said the shopkeeper,
''just leave your leg there and I'll take
care of it,"
The wooden limb was unstrapped
and handed over, and the cripple used
the crutch to help himself down the
alley. Five minutes later he rang the
doorbell of house in the next street,
only to have it opened by the man he
had justseen.
"Wha-wha what" he gasped.
every sympathetic family live'
here, quietly replied the other. "Yo'
seem to have met with a sad loss ant
I'm anxious to help you. Here is

The leg was handel over. The ma
sat down on the steps, strapped it O.
and stumped away, thinking, no doubt
that life is full of surprises.
