THE MONKEY IN THE MAN.
A Il und Dozen Point OF Rcsemblanos
shown by Human BABIES.

To see the monkey in the man you
have only to study the faces. bodies and
habits of babies. Such is the theme of
m article contributed by S. S. Buck
man to the Nineteenth Century. The
actions of children are, indeed, he says
like ancient monuments of prehistoric
times. The human infant is an inter-
esting object of scientific research and
even u cross baby should be calmly con-
templated by the philosophic mind"
Here are some of the numerous illustra-
lions which Mr.. Buchanan gives to show
how surviyals of our Similar ancestry
may be found by an, nursery philoso-
pher:
/. Monkeys are suL.b-nosed (simian).
So arc babies.
2. Babies have pouch-like cheeks. To
judge from ecclesiastical monuments,
this characteristic is supposed to be
specially angelic. 1t is really monkey
like. Baby cheeks are the vestiges Of
cheek pouches, possessed for storing
away food, as in oercopithecus, a mon
key in which this habit of storing may
be observed at the London geological
gardens. If visitors feed it.
s. At the base of the vertebral col
ulnn babies have a deep circular de-
preston. This is the mark of the mon
keys tail.
A. Babies Gas DR.. Louis Robinson has
shown) have superior arm power and
very short legs. So have monkeys.
5. Babies, in catching hold Of any,
thing, don't use their thumbs, but clasp
it between the fingers and palm. This
is the action Of monkeys going from
bough to bough.
6. A baby can move any of its toes
independently, and it can move them
Il from another so as to make a V be-
tween any Of them. AS it grows older it
loses this power and also the power of
turning its ankle, but that it has such
power over its muscles when young
points to ancestors who used their feet
more than their hands Us organs for
picking up small objects, and who re-
lied On their arms aud hands for sup
porting their bodies.
z. Babies go to sleep on their stomachs
with their limbs curled up under them
"a survival from u four-footed an
%cestors.
8. Babies arp rocked to sleep-an imi-
tation Of the swaying to-and-fro Of the
branches where our monkey ancestors
lived. Even II nursery dittie, Crock
ably Baby on the Tree Top" point
back to the arboreal age.
8. The stair-climbing instinct of ba-
bies, like the tree-climbing propensity
of boys. points back to an arboreal age.
10. The fruit-stealing instinct is a
survival from monkeydom.
II. Children arc fond of picking at
anything loose-because monkeys pick
off the bark from trees in order to search
for insects.
II. Children are very fond of rolling.
This points to the time when our an
cestors had hairy bodies tenented by
parasites, and allayed the irritation by
rolling.

New York Herald: Ruficttes are
the latest shirt waist buffers" A
Bright girl invented them and told an
other girl and she told someone else,
and so it has come to be u fad with
everyone who knows how to make
them.
The first shirt waist puffer was
made of some horrid, stiff crinoline or
other hard fabric, and made the front
of the waist pout out too much. With
this new rutilette it is u simple mat
ter to make the most limp and defect
ed of silks or muslins stand out in the
proper way. Take a foundation piece
md over that stitch three rows of ruf-
fles about long enough to run across
the breast from arm seam to arm seam
of your shirt front. With two of the
latest gold safety pins fasten this to
your under bodice securely and you
have as dainty a device as you would
care to have for warm weather. 1t
does away with padding and inner lin
ings. Starch added to the rutiles will
make them stand out more firmly.

No Use for a bicycle.

THE bicycle" remarked the drum-
mel for q big cycle worksin Boston, sis
agreat institution and will supersede the
horse in many instances, but not in all.
A case III point came under my notice
recently. l was in Blue Grass Ken
lucky, whore the roads are superb, and
in the course of my visits to agents I
ran across a farmer who lived about five
miles from town aud got to talking to
him on the subject. He was rather
progressive and conceded that the BIZ
cycle possessed many advantages over
the horse. It saved feed, toll, care,
shoeing and q lot more things and was
q good deal spcedier.
Why then said |. don't you get q
bicycleP'
"'Well. there's only one thing that
prevents me, he said, with an apologize
griu; when Il man comes to town on
Saturday and starts home in the even
ing just corned up enough not to know
his way his horse will take him back to
his family in fairly good shape, but the
bicycle amt made that can do that,
and I'm q man that goes to town on Sat-
urdays.'
"Of course" concluded the drummer,
aafter that l had mighty little show for
an argument"-Detrott Free Press.

An Astonishcd Woman.

Philadelphia Evening Post: Some
times SO methodical a man as Eecre-
tary Long makes mistakes, and q re-
cent caused a curious complica-
ton. A Washington lady who is ia
nous for her activity as well as her
attractions Interested herself in the
appointment of a young relative as a
lieutenant in the marine corps. After
hearing the presentation of his claim,
Secretary Long was so overwhelmed
by her %eloquence and attractions that
he put her name on the list in place
of that of the candidate. She was
therefore very much astonished u few
days later when she received a letter
from the navy department directing
her to appear at the officer of General
Haywood, commander of the marine
corps, and submit to a physical am
nation.

sword Cane 1.aken From The colo,

0@yuG A0ACN IUVlsVN6 GCIUyl
Denver Post: MY son found this
cane on the Cristobal Colon imn1edi-
ately after her surrender. i think it
wa the property of admiral C~eryera.1
The speaker was DR.. w. S. Morrison.
of Colorado Springs. His son is j..
Harry Morrison, chief machinist of the
Oregon, which position he has held
ever since the magnificent battleship
was put in commission.
When the Cristobal Colon surrend-
ered," continued DIR. Morrison, my
son vas sent with other officers to
take charge of the vessel and to ave
her if possible. The party took every
thing that could be saved. From the
officers cabin my son secured n pair
OF magnificent silk portieres and this
cane, both of which he sent to me. Adj
miral Cervera came over in the Girls
tobal Colon, although he was not on
her at the time she was sunk. and it
was thought by my son that the cane
belonged TO him. l have written a
letter to the Spanish admiral in his
prison in Madrid, asking him to give
me the history of the, stick. but Aave
not yet heard from him."
The cane itself is made of knotted
brown congo wood. and is very heavy.
The handle is Il hare's head, carved
from walrus ivory and banded to the
stick with thin silver. About eight
inches below the hare's head there is
q crease in the wood and a tiny brass
button. If one pushes the button and
draws on the handle above the crease,
the cause OF the canes weight
into view in the shape Of a long shin
ing sword, slender but very stiff and
sharp. The workmanship throughout
is beautiful. The crease is surrounded
with silver and the presence of the
sword would hcrrr-be-slspMn save by
the innocent looking brass buttoa.
There is no name, nor insignificant it
1nay well have been3the property of a
Spanish admiral.

She writes to hin-she might suggest to

covered her face, cit is my own fault that
I have made all my friends enemies"
Forcing back her tears resolutely, she
slowly opened her letter.
The very first words startled her. She
flushed to her brow; then sho read on stead
lily to the end, turned the page, and went
back, and read through again. After that
she sat for several moments perfectly still,
the burning color in her face fading grad
ually away, aud leaving her deadly white;
but there was u dangerous culver about.
the delicate nostril, a dangerous light n
the dark eyes.
And yet there was more feeling in the
letter chan she had given Aston Lnwford
credit for, and her heart smote her heavi-
ly. He asked her to be his wife; he told
her he loved her deeply and sincerely, and
would in everything study her happiness.
That sounded conventional, but there was
n true ring in it, too. Then he reminded
her that she had treated him with some
caprice, but he was sure she had not in
tended to wound him. He weighed some
what on her aunt's approval of his suit, and
intimated delicately. but clearly, that he
desired u sincere and decided answer, for
which he trusted she would not keep him
waiting long.
But from beginning to end there was q
tone Of security which stung the girls
pride; 1t was like making n merely formal
offer Of that which was certain OF accepta-
ton; no doubts, no fears, but a compliment
sense of the honor he, Aston Lawford, was
doing her, Valerie Herbert, in offering her
his hand and heart, Nnd millions.
Suddenly Valerie rose up, letting the
letter fall to the floor, md clasping her
hands above her head.
Have T." she said, through her teeth,
half aloud, given him the right to speak
to me like this? Tie seems more to be
claiming his property--asif I were so many
tons OF irona--with a short laugh-'.than

She sank down again, hiding her face in
the cushion of the chair.
.Ah! how differently he would write!'
was whispered in her heart. but not by her
lips; "bu., then he would come to me-
would e%ntreat, Is he would never entreat
