ORANGE OUTANC'S EDUCATION.

When an ocang- g-outang, which Is the
nearest approach to man of all the
varied forms Of monkey life, is taught
to eat and drink, play cards and shake
dice like man, the effect IS startling
and the Darwinian theory is almost re-

living in Philadelphia and is being
daily taught new human characters-
istics by his owner, J. l.. Buck. He is
not taking a regular college course
and his education will be complete in
October. By that time he is expected
to wear a gentleman's clothes with
the same grace that he now wears a

few worshipers when the worthy pas

discomfort when he mounted the pull

at the faithful a moment and began
in this most unOrthodOX manner:
Brethren, it's hot, and so l say com

his heavy black coat, hung it over the

sermon IN his shirt sleeves.

A young woman was staying in .
acquaintances. She had money, but
homesickness and insufficient occupa-
ton were unfriendly conditions to
health of mind and body. At length
she felt obliged to call upon physician
and ask his advice.
1t happened that the doctor whom she
consulted was a religious man as well
as a skilled one. He understood her
symptoms, and when she complained
that she was victim to "the blues"
he astonished her with this original
prescription: David Sones lives at
1O4 Dash street. He Is i'll, and con-
fined to his bed, and very poor. Call
there. show sympathy with him and his
family, and read the bread and but
ter psalm to him; and when you go
away leave a small sum Of money in
his hand"
OF course he had to explain to the
amazed lady that the Scripture he had
so oddly named was the 103 Psalm, and
that the heartening and rejuvenating
effect Of fifth verse and all-made
1t to him just what he called it. OF
its virtue in this case he seemed to
have no doubt.
But the very idea of doing as he
recommended was as distasteful to the
young woman as it was surprising.
"Why, how rude and intrusive the
man would think me to break in upon
him so, perfect stranger" she said.
II could not do such thing"
She went from the Doctors office dis
appointed and displeased, but thinking.
The very bluntness of the advice had
stirred her stagnant spirits, and she
was already beginning to forget her
own ailment. The storm of protest
in her mind gave her bad hour or
two, but finally something-she could
hardly tell what-compelled her to sur
render to the doctors orders.
She found the sick man, and after
talking kindly to him about himself.
and encouraging him to hope for re-
covery and better days, she opened her
Bible to the psalm. Her lips were
dry, and the first three or four verses

exercise, but farther on her voice and
mood mellowed. The force and beauty
of the words aroused her, and she read
the last verses of the psalm with feel
ing.
A woman who had entered the room
and listened, sat in the corner weep
ing. She was a recent lodger who
had tried in vain to find work at her
trade as dressmaker, and had be-
come discouraged. The young lady
had already earned the gratitude of
three strangers. With feelings entirely
new to her she remained in the poor
tenement, conversing with the sick
man and his wife and their needy
friend, until she had quite gained their
confidence, and then left them with
encouraging words and small gift OF
money.
Thoroughly interested now. she In
few days secured orders for the dis

long after came in so abundantly that
the family were placed above want.

soon recovered. A shadowed home
had been frightened by an involuntary
| kindness.
It was a lesson that the complain
ing young woman never forgot. Her
experiences-thanks to the good doc
tors consul-had exploded the vain
notion that "it is useless to try to do
good unless you feel like it." A
brave effort to cure "the blues" had
resulted in opening her heart to an un-
selfsh act, and to broader view OF
her relations to less fortunate souls

OUTAN POSING FOR 4 PICTURE.
regular turn on the stage like any 9TH
er vaudeville artist.
The first triumph in his education
was when he learned to wear a red
sailor hat. For hours Mr.. Buck sat
by him putting the hat on his head,
only to have it persistently removed
again. Outan's head is inclined to
badness and Mr.. Buck noticed that
flies bothered him greatly. Struck by
a happy thought he smeared molasses
on the orang's bald pate and after the
animal had struggled with the flies
for some time the hat was again pro-
duced. This time Outan was glad to
keep it on to keep the flies off. He
has not since manifested any objection
to the hat and when in his cage the
flies bother him he frequently tears off
a piece Of paper and tries to make it
stay on his head.
The use of long, slender glass. in
which he could neither thrust his
mouth nor his fingers was enough to
make him use a spoon, after he had
seen the advantage Of it. Every once
in awhile a crash announces the fact
that Outan has broken another glass
hut that occurs less frequently every
day. When he plays cards, which he
is induced to do by the fun Of hearing
them slap on the table, his face is the
ideal one for poker. The keenest gam
bier could never tell from his face
whether he held a straight flush or a

CARE OF THE FEET.
What Mrs. Jenness miller Has Done Tor Her
/ Suffering Sisters.

The wave of common-sense dress
reform, and especially "shoe REFORM"
is gathering force as it wends its way
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. When
asked what led to the manufacture of
the celebrated "Jenness Miller shoe
this apostle of comfort and beauty re-
piled. "A crying demand from women
all over the country. From every au-
dience have addressed, and they have
numbered thousands in every city of
note on the continent, has come the
question in tones of distress, What
shall we wear upon our feet to be
comfortable and look well?' l have
answered that question in the shoe
which today bears my name. It is my
own idea of strictly hygienic. anatom-
ical shoe, and gives the greatest possi-
BILE amount of comfort, style and dura-
bility ever secured from a shoe. I do

alleged murder of her husband, Everett:
White, will i'm all probability be held
before the present term of the superior
court adjourrs, though some supreme
court judge will have to be sent here
for the purpose of trying her, as IT is
not within the jurisdiction of a superior
court judge to set upon crime of this
sort.
Judge Whitehouse was the Judge who
was to have heard the case, but as h.

it will be impossible for him to con-
duct it. Chief Justice Peters has been
notified, and he will doubtless arrange
for one of the other members of the

he look upon the wine again he will be

Quebec Excursion Largely Patronized.

The railroad station was the scene of
a crowd of people, Monday afternoon,
the cause being one of the French Ca
madam excursions to Quebec and vicin-
ity. For an hour before the $40 train,
No. 16. arrived, the Station platform
and rooms were crowded. Nearly 10
tickets were sold and every excursion
list had several friends at the station
to see him off, and to wish him good
luck.
In the midst OF it all ripple of ex-
citement' was caused when a woman
had a man arrested, as he owed her
SIS for board, and was leaving with
out paying. The man was so excited
that he could not explain matters to
Deputy Marshal Grover. who started
for the station With him. The bill was
paid and the man was not locked up.
