Nature has enabled some animals to

horse has this power in a marked de-
gree. 1t is only necessary to watch a

ers to notice this. Take, for instance.
those on street cars. Let the driver
even attempt to take the whip in hand.
and 1T the horse is used to the work
he will at once increase his pace.

precision the rapid storm OF kicks with
which it defends itself.
The hare furnishes still another in

A MIscHIEvous MONKEY.
Some of the Amusing ind Annoying
Things Tint JoclSa Did.

About a year and a half ago our
monkey Jocko died. We had given
him away, and we think he died of q
broken heart, for he had always been
used to the country and freedom. He
was a ringtail monkey and very intel
ligent. His body vas about a foot
long and his tail, l suppose, two feet
long. He always held on to things
with his tail. We live in The country
and allowed the monkey out of his
cage all summer except n day in the
week, Monday. On Sunday evenings
we put him in his cage and on Mon
day evening let him out again. You
will think it funny that we did this,
but l will tell you why. He would
always take the clothes off the line
and put them on himself. He did
many other funny tricks.
Before we received him he belonged
to u ship, and they had to give him
away because he would always throw
the crews money overheard, and they,
therefore, could not keep him.
One day shortly after we received
him Che was a Christmas present to
my mother) he and our other monkeys
(for we also had two other little mon
keys We're left in Il bedroom together
while we went to luncheon. We, of
course, hurriedly ate to get back to
the monkeys; but, alas, when we came
into the OOH they We're nowhere to be
found. We hunted and hunted and
hunted, until ut last we heard a shrill
little cry and looked up, and there was
.Jocko's little head sticking out over
the headboard of the bed. He was
afraid to come down because he had
torn some paper from the wall and
knew he had done wrong; but, worst
of all, he had pulled off a piece of the
tail of one of the other little monkeys.
But where do you think the other lit
tie monkeys We're? They had torn a
piece out of the mattress and had
crawled into 1t. l suppose we worked
for fully an hour trying to get them
out, but finally out they came, one
with half its tail off and the others
face bleeding.
Another time Jocko found Il black
birds nest and pulled the little birds
heads Off. The blackbirds came home,
and the whipping poor Jocko got from
them was terrible. My mother was
sitting in Il hammock on the lawn that
day and heard him screaming at the
top of his voice, and pretty soon he
came running to her and covered HIM
self up with her dress. After that.
whenever he was naughty, we had on
ly to say. 'Jocko, the blackbirds are
coming!!" and he would run and hide

Washing In Salt Water.

Have you ever wondered why it is
difficult to wash in salt water? Well,
the reason is that 1t contains Il large
quantity of muriatic acid. This acia

a sorry business. At the seasllore ev-

Ned Morton was the success of the
evening. Every one said so. In the
tableauN he had taken the part of II
young burglar, one of the soft hearted
kind which you sometimes read Of in
story books, but which are rarely to be
met with in real life. In the first place
Ned was discovered in the act of fill
ing his bag with various bits Of jew
elry. In one hand he held q tiny watch
and chain and was apparently about to
put them in his bag with the other
things. In a corner of the room was
q crib, and in it was a little child,
Ned's baby sister. Her hand was out
stretched for the watch and chain,
which evidently belonged to her. The
expression on the burglars face show
ed that a struggle was going ON with
in him as to whether he would take
the child's treasure or return it to her.
The second tableau showed that the
burglars better nature had triumphed.
The child was holding her watch in
one hand, while with the other she
was throwing a kiss to the burglar,

The coach was Il small one, drawn by
two horses and contained the figure Of
a lady within, with a footman and

When this machine was placed at
the extremity of a table of proper size,
the coachman smacked his whip, and
the horses instantly set off. moving
their legs in n natural manner and
dragging the coach after them.
When the coach reached the opposite
edge of the table, it turned sharply at
a right angle and proceeded along the
adjacent edge. AS soon us it arrived
opposite the place where the king sat
it stopped, the page descended and
opened the coach door, the lady alight-
ed and, with IL courtesy, presented Il
petition w.lich she held IN her hand to
the king.

having resumed his place behind, the

jumped up behind into his former
place.

HEROIC LITTLE DuTcHMEN.

How They Defended Their City
Against Frances Veteran Soldiers.
"Obstinate and brave as a Dutch
man" were familiar terms in France
10 years ago, when a handful of dog
gedly determined and fearless boy
Hollanders gave n more proof of
what Dutch courage really means.
1t was in September, 1880, that Bel
GUM, which for JIG years had been
under the rule of a Dutch king, rose In
revolt and demanded the aid Of the
other European powers in establishing
her independence and setting up a
king of her own.
AS may be we'll imagined, the Dutch
took these proceedings very much to
organized, and the French government
| sent Marshal Gerard and General st.
Ayr, with 10000 picked soldiers of the
grand army, to see that the Dutch
We're turned out of Belgium, bag and
baggage.
Marshal Gerard at once called upon
the garrison in the citadel of Antwerp
to surrender. This was on Nov. %,
and imagine the surprise of both
French and Belgians when General
| Chase, the Dutch commander of this
fortress, invited his enemies to come
and take it.
Marshal Gerard warned General
Chase that he would besiege and bonn
bard the citadel. "Besiege away" was
the gallant Dutchman's reply, though
he had only 1900 men under him,
while outside the walls his enemies
numbered 100000.
On the same Doth of November the
French opened fire on the Dutch, but
if the French made breaches in the
wall by day the Dutch labored and re-
paired them by night, and from their
lofty outlook they could see and knock
over every gabion or approach the
men the French fairly ragged to see
themselves baffled.
Their Humiliation was complete,
however. when finally, on blowing up
a lunettc. they took 5S l.eroic Dutch
men prisoners and found them, in
stead of tough veterans, the mercst
boys. So young We're 40 of them that
they had never had razors at their
chins, and their beardless faces. wan
from toll and priyation, gave them
quite the appearance of a band of sick
children.
At last, after 10 days desperate
fighting, after 10000 shot and shell had
been thrown into the citadel, General
Chase capitulated, and the French,
very quietly and rather shamefacedly,
entered the stronghold. Within it was
literally torn to pieces, and drawn up
before their c%onQuerorS was this Won
derful little company of Dutchmen.
Three-fourths of the entire force had
not reached the age of 30 years, Il few
haG been two years in service, and Il
sorry figure in their own eyes and the
estimation of everybody else did the
magnificent French army cut. Fond
as they are of %recounting their warlike
deeds, French historians have little or
nothing to say regarding their on
quest of Antwerp. They realize that
the glory rests all with the warrior
boys who We're conquered and who
never would have surrendered unless
their general had found he could no
longer bear the sight of the sufferings
of these young heroes.
