HIS CRAVE NEGLECTED.
The Resting Place of Charles Dickens Is
 Virtually Unmarked.

From the London Mail: The sugges- tion has been made that a monument to Charles Dickens should be erected in one of the public places of this city It is not at all likely that the proposal, however warmly 1t might be supported by the English people, will ever be carried into effect, for any such scheme of .perpetuation would be in direct op- position to the expressed wish of the novelist, who desired by his work alone to live in the heart of his countrymen The will of Charles Dickens, from which the following lines are taken, very clearly expressed the masters wishes: T conjure my friends, on no account, to make me the subject of any monument, memorial or testimonial whatever. I rest my claims to the re- membrance of my country upon my published works and to the remem- branee of my friends upon their ex- perienee of me in addition thereto" ]" To this wish the members of the fami- 1y have always given the strongest adherence and have already discoun' L6HduC0u dlu Will c0ullHu0 lO ulSCoul- age any attempt to set the provision of the will at naught. Some years ago Edwin Elwell a gifted American sculp- tor, completed in marble a full=leGgtb portrait figure of the novelist, with Little Nell looking upward to the face of her creator. This charming group the sculptor offered to the London county council for erection in some suitable place in London, but owing to the attitude of the family, who, out of respect to the wishes of the novelist refused to countenance the movement eahe offer was declined. In these cir cumstances it is hardly probable that any memorial. at least of public char aeter, will be attempted.

THE IMPORTATION OF MONKEYS
organ-Grinders Do Not Carry Them
 Here Nowadays


 man who had missed the mon- keys formerly carried about by organ grinders in the city streets, and who had attributed their disappearance to the changed conditions of the organ grinding business, to the substitution of the big piano-organ on wheels, managed by two persons, for the old fashioned smaller hand-organ, that was carried about by the player, found upon inquiry that, whatever influence the changed conditions might have had, the carrying of monkeys by or gan-grinders is now prohibited here by city ordinance. There are, how ever, places in which the monkey still forms a valuable part of the organ grinders outfit, and where the nimble little animal, clad in an embroidered jacket and wearing fancy hat, which 1t doffs for the pennies, still climbs fences and rainwater conductors. and hops up on porches quite in the old familiar way, in search of contribu- tons. While monkeys are not per-
 ..sa- CASl6 dl D LuOA MAO DQS monkeys and train them to sell to organ-grinders who can use them else where; and a wel1-trained monkey sometimes brings as much as $50. 1t had seemed, with fewer monkeys in sight, as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported, but the faf appears to be that, if anything, t& Importation is just now rather great& than usual, due to the increased de- mand from the show people, who are, after all, the greatest purchasers of monkeys in this country. The organ grinders use a considerable number; a few, comparatively, are sold for zo- ological collections, and in recent years a few have been. sold for pets: but the largest buyers If monkeys are the travelling shows, of which there are, besides the great, modern, consoli- dated shows, many smaller ones, show ing in smaller towns throughout the country. Take them all together. and these shows use up a good many monkeys. The life of a monkey on the road is usually but single season. The show renews it's stock of monkeys every year.

BOAT DRILL IS TERRIFYING.
Performance Aboard Ship That Always
 scares the Passengers

Scares the Passengers.
 A boat drill is an interesting per- formance when one sees 1t for the first time, provided he knows that it is com ing; but it's terrors are real for those who do not expect it nor understand what it means. "The second day out, while was sitting calmly on deck" said a woman who crossed the ocean this summer, T heard the bell ring vio- Iently and continuously. Looking around, I saw two able seamen drag ging heavy hose and in another sec ond the water was turned on full force. Then the crew began to appear on every hand and to tear about In the widest way. Meanwhile the bell con- tinued to ring and the captain stood on the bridge giving orders. I wondered if l had time to go for my pocketbook or for life-preserver. I did regret that l had not read more carefully the di- rections for putting on the life-pre- server. Meanwhile tried to find out how near death we were, and just what was the cause of our doom, but the men to whom l appealed were as much frightened or as ignorant as I. Yes, the ships on fire answered one An other said he didn't know whether there was fire in the hold or whether something had broken about the en- zine. The crew was busy getting the lifeboats over and hadn't time to an- swer any questions. I saw two women crying and clinging to their husbands, and one woman was about to leap overheard when she was restrained by a man in white coat and apron, who, l think, was cooks boy. The cooks boy told me at last that it was a drill to test the men. Don't try to encour- age me-, I protested; I would rather know the worst It must have been over in five minutes. but learned in that time to feel what it meant to be sure of death at sea. I asked the cap tain why he didn't warn the passen- gers of what was coming. Because the men would know, too,' he replied. and l wouldn't find out then how many men slept on duty.'''

Had an Unpleasant Experience.

Henry Fredenburgh, while fishing at Catskill recently, had a rather unpleas- ant experience A monster sturgeon caught It's head in the meshes of a net handled by Fredenburgh. and while he was striving to fasten a rope about his gills, the boat lurched and the fisherman tumbled into the net. After floundering there some .ime with the sturgeon, Fredenburgh succeeded in grasping rowlock, but was unable to free himself from the net. The big fish, still entangled, made a dash for liberty and for ten minutes dragged net, boat and fisherman about the river. Then Jacomb Conine, partner of Fredenburgh, came in boat, cut the net, released the sturgeon and as- sisted Fredenburgh into the boat.

PET ANIMALS BECOME PESTS
Horses, Cats, Pigs, Goats and Rabbits
 All Have Become Nu sances.

All Have Become Nu sances.
 Ordinary domestic animals under ia, vorable conditions often become pests Some instances: In 1897 Nevada passed law permitting the killing of wild horses as nuisanees. In Washington they are cut up to bait traps. Most of the wild horses on the continent are descended from few loosed by Cortez in Mexico. In Australia hunters shoot wild horses, which eat grass needed by the sheep and cattle. Cats have made home on Cat island, one of the Ker- gueleas, where they are so wild that it is impossible to tame them. Their pro- genitors escaped from whaling vessels. They were put ashore on Sable island, off Nova Scotia, to kill the rabbits that had become pest. Now the rabbits are gone and the cats are worse. Pigs were put ashore on many islands, such as Bermuda, the Galapagos and is- lands along the southern coast, as food for shipwrecked sailors In every easf Capt. Cook put some ashore on New Zealand, where they are now shot as game. St. Helena. mountainous is- land of small extent. 2,700 feet high was heavily wooded at it's discovery To-day it is a rocky desert, owing to the introduction of goats by the Por- tuguese in 1513 When the goats ate off the underbrusb rain washed away the soil and the big trees tumbled Rabbits are the worst of all animal scourges in Australia and New Zea- land They are poisoned, killed for their skins, for their meat; but still they multiply. Cats alone can kill them off: but then cats become pest also. Since 1873 New Zealand has shipped more than 200. 100000 rabbit skins.-New York World.

Capital Punishment in Japan.

E Japan is considering the adoption of A. new method of capital punishment by the process of extracting air from the death cell, creating a vacuum and thus causing death. The death or Vacuum chamber. as it is to be known, is to be an air-tight cell built in or adjoining the prison. It Is to be eight feet in height, ten feet wide and ten feet long. The four sides are to have each an air-tight window of three-quarters inch plate glass,%so that the operators, prison and other off, cials may have an opportunity to wit ness the execution. The cell will be connected with an air pump, which will have power of causing the ex- pulsion of the air in the cell in one minute and forty seconds, thus acting so quickly as not to allow the victim to become suffoeated or. distressed in even the slightest degree, but, instead, causing aln ,st instant death. In fact, it was shown when the experiment was tried upon large St. Bernard dog that the. animal was dead in minute and half after the vacuum was con- pleted.
