KILLING MONKEYS.

"One of the most interesting things
| saw was Jivaros killing monkeys for
their teeth, which they make into neck
lacos. 1t takes 5000 monkeys teeth to
make a necklace. The savages move
along nOiselessly, like snakes in the
grass and when they see monkey
through the foliage they blow tiny
poisoned arrow at him through pipe.
Poor Mr.. Monkey is hit almost every
time, and IN three minutes he is dead.
If the air is calm, 1t is dangerous to be
within 100 yards of Jjvaro armed with
these miniature weapons, for he can
blow a poisoned arrow and kill at that
distance.
II don't know whether the Jivaros
have written language. They have
Il very limited spoken language. Tn.
like the most OF South American tribes.
they have no religion. They worship
though they believe in dreams.
When well supplied with chicha, an in
toXicating liquor they dream of kiling
enemies The doctors are their actors,
medicine men, and fakirs. The exist
cnce of the doctor is like the butterfly's;
pleasant and sunny at first. Free
chicha and conquests il love affairs are
among the perquisites. When one is
sick, the family get great quantity of
chicha and call in the doctor, He at
once proceeds to decrease the supply of !
liquor. When almost drunk he sings, |
dances, and goes through a hideous
gamut of incantations Then he looks |
At the patient and sucks the affected

NEXT ENGLISH QUEEN
The Princess of Wales in Line of
Succession.
Life and Habits of the Popular
Daughter-in-Law of Victoria
viii Liven Up the Roy
al Court.

Queen Victoria recently admitted
that of all the members of her royal
family, excepting only her youngest
daughter, Princess Beatrix, she has
most love for her probable successor,
the beautiful princess of Wales.
Alexandra, the neXt.queen of Eng
land, will enjoy in way all the power
welded by her husband and will have
the full social prestige now belonging
to her mother-in-law.
For this reason and perhaps because
she likes to keep herself young enough
to enjoy this the princess of Wales de-
votes a portion of her time 10 athletics.
Her waist is a marvel of neatness. and
she a grandmother with five chill
dren. Te secure this sylphlike figure.
which she has preserved past middle
age, she resorts to the same means
as were employed by the late empress
of Austria. She exercises constantly,
and one room at Marlborough house is
filed with automatic side saddles, sta
tionary bicycles and all sorts of ath-
letic aids. She rides horseback-in-
doors and outdoors-two hours every
day and weighs herself night and
morning to be sure she is not gaining.
The princess of Wales has never con-
cerned herself with state matters, al
though she must know what is going
on. She has always been absolutely
Indifferent to such things, unless
swerved to one side or the other by
personal favoritism. She admires AS
auth, who married "Dodo," and could
have secured for him almost any posi-
ton, but she was either too Indifferent
or too careless 10 ask, and the viceroy-
ship which might have been filled by
him to-day belongs to another. The
queen, who knows every line of the
possibilities of her statesmen, has ever
been a politician, looking for improved
service, civil and military, but Alex
andra has never worked along political
lines and never will; she is not that
kind of a woman.
| Alexandra has her little weaknesses
all womanly ones. She is fond OF
novels, thing the queen despises, un.
| less of the classic sort. She dislikes
famous people, such as authors an6
artists, for she is timids in the face OF
genius, while the queen will have moth.
ing to do with any other. Alexandra
loves fancy work and can outline &
worsted dog to perfection, while the
queen never takes stitch. Alexandra
notes the hang of the skirt and the
cut of the sleeve. Victoria is calmly
oblivious, to everything except court
dress.
Britishers will have something to dc
to get used to their new queen. for they
will have to reconstruct all their ideas
of royalty. Court dresses and jewels
will shine in the dull old rooms anC
music and laughter will be heard where
now only the echoes startle the shad
owy figures of former gayety. Alex
andra has been preserving herself tc
have her royal filing" and she i:
woman enough to insist upon it.-Chi

A WORLDS RECORD.
Berlin Co.'S. SawmiI Turns Out 158.6O1
Feet in One 0ay.

Thursday was busy day at the
Berlin Mills COS. plant at Farming
dale. and the result of the days work
Will long remain in the minds Of all
who We're there. 1t was the intention
of every man in the entire crew to es-
tablsh a record for the amount of
lumber that could be turned out in a
single days run with one saw. An
other reason for the busy day was to
test the capacity of the mill. This
mill is the most modern one in New
England and everything in it runs
like clock work. The men are all eX-
pcrienced hands. The days work be-
gins at 6 o'clock in the morning and
lasts until 6 in the afternoon. except
for the hour at noon. There are very
few times during the summer when.
during the working hours, that it is
down, and the average daily output Of
the plant is about $4,000 feet This is
nearly double the amount of the COM
mon mills.
But this did not suit the crew and
so a day was sent for making a big
run. This was Thursday, and when
the men appeared at the mill. in the
morning, every one of them had blood
in his eye. Work was started and in
side of an hour and a half. the result
could be seen. The way the logs were
cut up was a caution. Big logs We're
coming up the slip all the time and go
ing out the other end of the mill, all
trimmed and ready for the market in
less than two minutes. The men stood
at their posts like heroes. not even
stopping to wipe the sweat from their
brows, from which it was running in
perfect streams.
About the middle of the forenoon \
stop was necessary, as the engines
had been running too fast for the
steam making capacity This cost
some 5000 feet
