A Knowing orang outang Water Cuts
Rust-How Puss Sees In
the Dark.

Boolan, the wonderfully human look
ing orang outang out at the zoc, has
not yet been placed upon public exhibit
tion, but'she is learning new tricks cv-
cry day that will surprise and delight
visitors to the gardens when they are
permitted to see her. Head Keeper
Manley yesterday gave her an apple in
paper bag, and thinking that she
would merely devour the fruit and de-
stroy the wrapping he paid no more at
tention to her until he heard loud re-
port like that of popgun Where Boolan
learned the trick no one knows, but she
had taken the bag in one hand after
eating the apple, and holding it up to
her lips had blown into the opening un-
til it was full of wind. Then with as
much dexterity as children who do the
same thing the little orang outang com
pressed the top of the bag to keep the
air in and smashed it upon her knee
She appeared so much delighted with
the result that the keeper sent out and
got half a dozen bags, with which she
repeated the performance until the sup
ply was exhausted Philadelphia Rec

Very few women appear in low cut
evening gowns without a collar of
Jewels or velvet enoircling the throat.
All evening waists are cut very low,
quite off the shoulders, in fact, and
tiny shoulder straps take the place of
sleeves. These straps are trimmed with
spangles or jewels. Young girls FREE
quently decorate them with punches of
flowers, the blossoms nesting half
against the white flesh and half against
the delicately tinted bodice. Frequent
ly the collars are trimmed with jeweled
chains, garlanded about the throat,
caught here and there with jeweled
pins, then draped across the bust and
shoulders to the little shoulder straps.

Racing Hurts Thoroughbreds.

James r. Keene is quoted as follows
in recent interview regarding thor
oughbreds; 81 have no hesitation in
saying that our American thorough
breds are steadily deteriorating through
being raced excessively as 2-year-olds.
Fully 80 per cent of our horses are
overraced in their first season and can
not train on Their vitality is Slapped,
and when put to go distances they lack
stamina. There is no saying how many
animals that with more lenient treat
ment would have been great race horses
and sires are thereby lost. The injury
to the constitutions of our breeding
stock cannot but cause deterioration. "

Queen viotoria's views on the Sudan.


The queen is sincerely and deeply in
terested in Egypt and in the recovery Of
the Sudan to civilization and peace.
General Gordon's abandonment and
murder affected her majesty personally.
She shed many bitter tears over the
catastrophe at Khartum 10 years ago.
Gordon's Bible, marked with his own
hand, is a conspicuous object in the long
gallery at Windsor and is looked on by
her majesty as one of the most priceless
possessions. The queen, who is natural
ly well informed about everything,
knows that her neighbors, the French,
with all their good qualities, are not
remarkable for success in their dealings
with savage tribes Indeed, revelation
recently made by French army sur
geon of the conduct of the French in
Senegal, Tonkin and other French pos
sessions makes it strongly desirable that
the valley of the Nile should be develop
ed by healthy minded Anglo-Saxons and
Aglo-Celts. --Harper's Weekly.

CARE or SEED CORN.

In riding through the country we
frequently see seed corn hanging
from the side of the house or barn,
exposed to all the elements of wealth
er. where it has hung since last fall
and to all appearances is to hang
there until planting time in the spring.
1t is question whether the corn will
be more valuable for planting or ger
inmate more strongly on account of
this frequent freezing and thawing
process and on account of being ex-
posed to all the conditions of dryness
and moisture that are liable to occur.
We have great respect for the fathers
and any practise that has been
followed for generation or two gem
orally has good reason at the bot
tom of it. Wallace's Farmer refers
to the matter and suggests that the
reason the father left the seed corn
thus exposed was because he had no
better place in which to store it. He
lived IN a small house, had large
family, and perhaps did not have any
room for the seed corn, and in that
case his example should count for
nothing with his son, who if he does
not have dry place for his seed corn
after it is dry can easily make one.
At any rate let US have the reason
why this seed corn is kept hanging
out during the winter to be wet with
rain and absorb moisture during fog

THE NEXT CENSUS.

Congress has been very remiss in
making provisions for the taking of
the next census. Next year is census
year, and yet Congress has not enact
ed the necessary legislation. Only a
little more than a month remains of
the session, and a great variety of
important measures demand atten-
ton, and the duty of arranging for
the decennial enumeration which
might wisely have been attended to
two years, at least, ago, must take it's
chance with the other matters press
ing upon Congress.
This delay, and the certainty that
action, if taken at this session at all,
will be taken in haste, greatly in
creases the chance that the act finally
passed will be a faulty one.
The bill now pending in the House
is certainly faulty in two particulars.
It makes the Census Bureau an indie
pendent establishment, without any
responsibility to or supervision by
the Interior Department. The Di-
rector of the Census, whoever he
may be, is to have unimpeded control
of the whole work.
To this Director, thus emancipated
from all accountability to any official
superior, is given the power to select
the entire force of census employees
from top to bottom. The bill sus-
ponds, so far as the selection of stat
isticians, clerks and other employees
of the bureau is concerned, the oper-
alton of the Civil Service laws.
A bill like this is calculated to make
adise. The Director of the Census,
Immediately upon his appointment,
will be besieged with applications
from Congressman who are Jealous to
load their political retainers upon the
bureau. The Director of the Census
would need to be a very remarkable
man indeed if he had the courage to
withstand this pressure. In any case,
considerable part of the time and
strength necessary to the effective
organization OF inc bureau, III Un0
short interval remaining, must be
consumed in settling the claims of the
rival aspirants, who will probably
outnumber the possible vacancies at
least five to one.
There is, of course, better way
than this. The Civil Service Commits
sion stands ready to certify for ap-
pointment any required number of
employees fitted for this service and
selected with sole reference to their
fitness. 1t has been estimated by Col.
Wright that the taking of the last
census under the reform system would
have saved the country at least two
million dollars, besides greatly en-
HANGING the accuracy and value of the
results. Here is the business meth
cd; but Congress proposes deliber-
ately to cast it aside and to provide
for the spoilsman's method instead.
The common sense of the country
should protest against making the
taking of the census the occasion for
a spoils debauch.-Boston Journal.
