Protecting the sLittIe ones.D

Speaking Of animals the rabid the
orist who argues that all good acts are
prompted by selfshness would very
likely unravel a few stitches in his the
ory if he should lean over the rail in
front Of cage Of monkeys and watch
them perform for half an hour. A few
days ago a little group was thus oc-
cupied in Wonderland There were all
sizes Of monkeys in the cage, and natur-
ally there was "littlest one" About
that time there was a good deal Of con-
tention over piece Of string and in the
fracas one Of the monkey children bit
the baby. Instantly an old monkey
shot from one corner of the. cage and
punished the offender. "She must be
the mother Of the little one, isn't she p
NO." said the keeper. "She's no rela-
tion-only that's a way they have O
doin'-the older ones protect the little
ones when they get jumped on"

RARE INDIAN SOUVENIRS
Typical War Dances Recorded by the
PhonOgrnDh for Government
Exhibits.

The government chronological bureau
has gone to extraordinary pains to pre-
serve complete record of the vanish-
ing Indian races" says an employe Of
the interior department at Washing
ton recently.
Take the Apaches, for instance. In
addition. to an enormous collection Of
costumes, weapons, implements, dec
orations and all the articles used in
their daily life, the bureau has lately
added two souvenirs Of unique interest.
About year ago several agents were
sent TO one of the western reserva-
tions and took a Photographic record
Of a number Of typical war dances. The
instrument was operated by a chemical
battery weighing over 100 pounds, and
recorded not only the chants, but the
ordinations Of the spectators, and
even the thudding Of feet.
Last spring the same dances were
repeated in front OF vitascope photo
graphing machine, and years after tho
last Apache had gone to the happy
hunting grounds the ancient ceremony
may be seen and heard exactly as il
was. The general public knows very
little about the chronological museum
but IL is one Of the most interesting in
Washington.

OLD FOES WATCH EACH OTHER
Navajos and MoIsis stiII Keeping =
Guard Their Ancestors Estnb-
IiShed 900 Years Ago.

The Navaios and the Mol1is are an
cient enemies. The Navajos stalk the
plain, wide scattered. Tke Mokis
huddle on the point Of a precipitous
mesa towering a thousand feet above
the red desert. Inch by inch they
covered before their prosecutors
through a hundred years until at last
they built their village Of to-day on the
heights four centuries. Though bitter
foes, the Navajos peaceably visited the
Mokis every alternate year on the day
of the mysterious ceremony of the
snake dance.
Three hundred summers ago, so runs
the tradition, Navajo boy while watch
ing the dance fell from the brink of
the mesa 10 a mangled death on the
tumbled rocks far below. And every
second summer since, when the visiting
NaVa los come on TO the mesa they stand,
now in groups, now singly, at the spot
where the boy fell and gaze down from
the heights for hours at time.
The Molds believe the Navajos are
only waiting a favorable opportunity
to pounce upon them and avenge their
clansman's death. Recent visitors IL
the land of the MolSis say that on the
day of the dance there is always a red
blanketed Navajo on the point Of rock
gazing stolidly below Behind on the
pile of the village and outlined against
the sky is the solitary form of a Moki
watching the Navajo intensely. Both
werestanding the guard their ancestors
stood through 300 summers.

THE ART OF REToUcHING.
some of the wrinkles of PhotOE-
rnphy Brought TO Light In
London Court.

Some wrinkles" of photography
were brought TO light in the South
wark county cosrt where profession-
al and an amateur fought out their dis
puted accounts. says the London Tele-
graph. According to the former, the
charge for retouching a photo depended
upon she subjects face. His honor sug-
gested that If the physiognomy was a
long one it would cost more to retouch
the photograph than that Of person
with a short, small one, and an expret
agreed, adding that some people have
50 many freckles or wrinkles that they
give lot of extra work. Judge Addi-
son said he supposed that in some cases
they had TO take out such defects and
everything else a person didn't like in
order to make a portrait acceptable, and
the professional concurred. Counsel
went even further and suggested that
not only had imperfections to be taken
out, but nonexistent beauty to be
added.
From this it may be gathered that,
while photography is witness Of truth,
the artist is often fatterer, and as
such expects TO be paid. His honor
took the photograph in question and
gazed at it, and then had a good look
at the person present in court whom it
was supposed TO represent. After a
long inspection Of both he said that at
last he understood the art of retouch-
ing and gave the judgment, which
showed that he considered the laborer
was worthy of his hire

THE BUTTERFLY.
Mother Uses the Down from Her BODY
TO Make Nest for Her Young,
Then Dies.

There is something really pathetic
in the way a mother butterfly builds a
nest for her children. In the first place
the little home where the eggs are de-
posted represents a great deal of sac
rifice, for it is lined with several lay
ers of soft down plucked from the
mothers own soft body. The eggs,
having been laid carefully upon this
luxurious, pretty couch, are protected
by an equally pretty coverlet made OF
thesame material. These butterfly bed
clothes are often arranged with an in
tricacy that is quite curious and per-
picking. Sometimes bed is made so
that each separate delicate hair stands
upright, thus giving the entire nest the
appearance of little brush of downy
fur. Then again the eggs are laid
spirally round "a tiny branch, and as
the covering follows their course, the
effect resembles the Bushy tail of o
fox, only the nest is more beautiful
than the "brush" of the finest fex that
ever roamed over country. The build.
ing Of this downy nest is the last earth
ly labor of the mother butterfly, for
by the time it is completed her own
delicate body is denuded Of its natural
covering, and there is nothing left for
her to do but to die-a sacrifice which
she promptly and hercicnlly makes in
the interest Of the coming butterfly
generation.

IS THIs HIs DREAM?


The Middletown Transcript excerpts
TO our statement that Addicks cannot
make a deal with the Regular Republi-
cans. It intimates that he can. The
Transcript is the motive power Of the
Higgins wheel within the Dupont
wheel of the Regular Republican party,
and its admission that deal with Ad-
dicks is within the range Of PROBABLE
ity, or possibility, is interesting. Is the
Transcript laying the ground for a
deal between the Union Republicans
and the Higgins wing OF the Regular
Republicans? Remember, should the
Union Republicans and Regular Repub-
Iicans control the next Legislature
there will be two senators to elect.
Former Senator Higgins has tasted the
delights of life at the national capitol,
and would, probably, not be averse to
returning to them, even under the
auspices OF the man who used the dead
lock to retire him TO the shades of
private life. The two men could play a
quiet llttlegame of you tickle me and I'll
tickle you, and give Colonel Dupont
and his following the stroke Of grace.
During the last Legislature there was
much talk of such deal involving that
and the succeeding session. In fact,
Addicks men who profess to know,
openly declare that $1,000 was taken
from the Addicks fund and given to a
prominent Higgins worker with the
understanding that he was TO influence
five Regular Republicans to vote for
Addicks for United States senator
Coupled with the operation was the
provision that at the session of 1891
the Union Republicans should vote for
Higgins to succeed Senator Kenney. II
Is further alleged by the Addicks men
that this Higgins worker, who thought
that he saw something better ahead
OF who was afraid to trust to the fu-
ture, gave three Regular Republican
members $1,000 each not to vote for
Addicks. and put the other $1,000 in
his pocket to reimburse himself for ex-
pended energy in negotiating the dea'
as far as II went Whether these dec
larations are true or not. we canno
say, but they come from men who ar
on the inside of the Addicks organiza
ton and very close to its centre. II
1900 and 1901 there will be no dealinl
IN futures. The two senator's will hav,
TO be elected within few minutes o
each other. The iron can be strucl
while it is hot Addicks can nominate
and elect members in the Legislative
districts which Union Republicans con
troll the Higgins workers assisting
him. Higgins can nominate and elec
members in the legislative district
which Regular Republicans control
the Addicks workers assisting him
Then the two viii be in control OF tn
situation, and, as guarantee of fai
dealing. one cannot be elected withou
the votes controlled by the other L
such an eventuality the DUPONT win
would flap weakly and impotently.
Is it something Of this sort that tn
pesslmistic editor Of the Middleton
Transcript has in his minds eye.
it is. let us assure him that the Dr
Pont men are not asleep, but wild
awake and doing.
