Monkey COurtship.

A friend who was encamped in the
woods recently witnessed the follow
ing occurrence: ..o
A troop Of monkeys which seemed
to be picnic party under the charge
OF chaperons, came to cross a creek
by the camp. They came along, trav-
cling as usual from tree to tree by in
terlaclng limbs, and at the creek side
soon found some interlaclng vines
which made suspension bridge.
There was considerable skylarking
going on in the procession, but tho
chaperons msrshalled all across the
bridge, except two. These two had
lodged behind trees and palpably
deliberately got left on purpose, and
when the rest Of the picnc was out of
sight, they selected nice narrow seat
where they sat extremely close togeth-
er, apparently deep in conversation
and as happy as could be. '. .-.
After some time the larger one saw
fruit hanging down below him and
began reaching down trying to get it.
His reach proving too short he took a
twist around the limb and swung for
it, but even his tail was too short and
the fruit still hung about foot below
him. His smaller companion saw the
difficulty and at once solved it. She
grabbed the tail firmly, loosed it from
the limb, and at the same time her
own tail took turn around it, let
her companions tail twist around her
wrist and then all securedly braced
and anchored, she reached down un-
til she lowered HIM within reach Of
the fruit. He gathered it and in a
minute was back by her side and
they were eating the fruit together

AGE OF MAN IN AMERICA.
"A Subject That Has Been soberly Dis
cussed and Intemperately
Ridiculed.

The claim of satisfactory evidence Of
the extreme antiquity of man in the
valley of the Delaware river has been
soberly discussed and Unexpectedly
ridiculeu until the public, both scien-
tific and general, have become tired of
hearing the subject mentioned; but
this is no valid reason why the truth
should not be ascertained, says the Pop
ular Science. Monthly. If q man in :, a
paleolithic stage of culture did exist on
the Atlantic seaboard of North Amer
lea, then we have a basis upon which to
bulld-a tangible starting point from
which to date history of human ac-
tivities on this continent. AS it is, we
have but an immense array of facts,
largely moderated, and the greater
portion sadly distorted and misleading
because of the reckless theories set
forth with them by their discoveries,
and undoubtedly there never has been,
in the whole range of scientific agita-
ton of simple question, so great a
volume of reckless assertion, illogical
deduction and disregard of exact state
ment. The main question was often
wholly lost sight of and the authors
sole purpose that of demonstrating
some one else in error. Predetermina-
ton on the part of many has been IA
tai to the value of their field work.
Convinced on theoretical grounds, such
are necessarily blinded when on the
spot where positive evidence occurs. He
who does not desire the object searched
for seldom finds it; and later in the day
pride declines to accede to the Just de-
mands of candor-the admission of
having reached wrong conclusion.

REMEMBERED PARTING.
AFTER Three Years of Separation
Naval Omcer md His Spouse
Exchange GreetinRs.

Navy families are used to separations.
a middle aged officer of the navy left
Washington three years ago for a
cruise on the China station, says the
Post. On the evening that he left his
wife herself prepared an especially
dainty dinner for him, the bill of fare
winding Up with strawberry shortcake.
Only half the shortcake could be eaten
by the family, SO heartily had they EAR
taken of the other viands, and the Of
hcer said to his wife; "You can lust
put the remaining half of that short
cake in the refrigerator and we'll have

ment that he was going away that
night. His wife went down to the
station with him and among the final
instructions she gave him was an i'm
Perative command to have his hair
trimmed as soon as he reached San
Francisco. The officer had, absent
Inindedly, permitted his hair to grow
rather long. .T ". .e

after an absence Of month more than
three years. His wife met him at the
station. After their first salutation
she said to him, smiling: -"

and had your hair cut" -.

Too Many Dogs in Kansas.

Kansas has suffered in years past
from an production Of grasshop-
pers. 1t is now afflicted, it appears.
with surplusage Of dogs. 1t is long
on dogs, but short on sheep. The
Secretary OF the Kansas State Aeri-
cultural Society deplores this fact in
recent report. He shows that there
are but 100000 sheep in the State,
while the number Of dogs is 10000.
Two years ago the sheep outnum-
befed the dogs by 80 per cent, while
last year this percentage was reduced
to II. In one county there were 9O9
dogs tc each sheep, and in IL &c lected
counties there were 200 dogs to each
shsep. IL n similar investigation
we're made in other States we doubt
not that some of them would show
an equal disproportlon Of dogs and
sheep. But it is not good sign
anywhere. Prosperity for the farmer
does not lie along the way of an in
crease i'll the dog crop.--Leslie's

Lake LEROY, in western Australia, is
a lake only during the rainy season.
At other times of the year the water en-
tirely evaporates and leaves a solid floor
of crystalline salt. This floor is almost
smooth and residents along the shores
OF the lake have adopted an ingenious
method Of getting over it's surface.
The sailing vessels which are used in
the ordinary way while the water lasts
are fitted out with set Of four small
wheels, the sails being rtill used for
propulsion. AS the surface Of the lake
covers an area of over 100 square miles

LIKE COMIC OPERA.

The State. published at Columbia,
South Carpiua, thus discoourses on
the Presidents treaty with tho Sui
tan Of Sulu: 20. s..
@In truth, nothing more bizarre than
our Sulu policy was ever put into a
comic opera. We buy the island OF
Spain and then proceed to negotiate
with local sovereign for the night to
style them ours, paying him an an.
nuIty for the privilege. We are
democratic republic, yet we seek to
embrace despotic sultan as fellow
citizen, subject, pensioner, and
coequal sovereign all rolled into one.
We cheerfully accord him absolute
power over the lives, liberty, and the
property of a couple of hundred
thousand newly created wards of the
nation, while in neIghboring islands
we endeavor to suppress with shot
and shell other wards of the nation
who attempt to govern themselves
under republican laws and forms; for
we cannot trust Aguinaldo with any
power, but we can trust Mohalnme-
dan emperor with all powers. We re-
fused for many years to one OF our
own territories the right of self gov
eminent, because it permitted polyg-
amy, and made it change its religious
creed in That respect and outlaw plur-
al marriages before we admitted it to
the Union; yet we seek to assimilate
the Mohammedan Sulus with all their
practices unrestricted. We profess it
a duty that we owe to Christianity to
subjugate the Catholic tagals of Lu-
zon in order that we might convert
them to our ideas Of religion; but we
make treaty with the Sultan of Su-
la excluding from his island any
American missionary who may want
to go there and convert the Moham-
medan inhabitants thereof. We make
1t boast-the dominant element,
among us at least-that we fought
each other for four years, sacrificing
hundreds OF thousands Of lives and
billions OF dollars worth ( 4 property
III order that the reproach of slavery
might be removed from our territory
but we recognize slavery in our Sulu
territory and protect it.
sThe one thing which we insist up
on is that the flag of the Sultan, which
ID probably bandana handkerchief,
shall be decorously folded away, and
that over this curious combination of
imperialism, MohamedIsm, polygamy
and slavery there shall float the flag
which our amiable President re yards
as porous plaster for all public and
private wrongs 1T is all very funny"

The enemy began a bombardment Of Mafeking
at :. 40 a. m to-day. at a range Of two miles and

AZ the outset the firing was erratic but ulu-

converted into n hospital being the chief sur
ferer This building was struck thrice.
Apparently the Boer ammunition was interior
40 casualties were sustained by the Britsh. ana
only one shot was returned. This. however.
was so well directed as TO disable one or the
enemy's guns.
After three hours the Beers sent an envoy 70
ask the town 20 prepare for surrender Colonei
Baden Powell the British commander replied
IN the negative The Smelling was not resumed.
A later dispatch from Mafeking, dated octo-
Der II. says:
The Beers are in possession Of the watorworks
and have cut off the supply. This occasions no
anxiety, because ample supplies are available IN
tanks and wells.
During sortie this evening the British en-
countered the enemy three miles of 70 the
north. The Beers had apparently been warned
and returned our fire In earnest with a wen
handled machine gun. As our men had no IN
tention Of pressing an attack they retired I'M
mediately.
Commander sydney Webb was severely
wounded and left behind during the retreat. but
was afterward rescued 10y Trooper Stevens.
The conduct Of our men was splendid. The en-
emy's loss could not be asCertained.
