just the tidy on her little table uhan

She was also taught to wear clothiny
and made her toilet regularly every dan,
A large cage two stories high had beer
made for her use. The lower story cor
tanned her sleeping apartments; the unnar
one was her exhibition room, the sides oe
which were made of glass, to protect her
from drafts of cold air. In her sIeeplne
room she had a brass bed with mattress
and pillow, white blankets and sheets ali
kept sweet and clean for her use Tbis
room was separated by red curtains from
her dressing room, which contained bur
little furniture except a bureau for her
clothing and mirror which hung upon
the wall. Her exhibition room was fur
nished with a small table, some chairs a
toy piano, an oil stove covered with
screen to protect her from harm and a
small dresser with a glass, in which she
was very fond of examining herself to s,e.
II everything was right and in proper
style.
When she arose in the morning her night
cap and night-dress were first removed
her face and hands thoroughly washed
with soap and water, and her entire BODY
carefully combed and brushed. Her chest
protector of chamois skin and red flannel
was then put on, followed by union suit
of wool, with either long or short sleeves
according to the weather. Next came a

and shoes were then put on and she was
allowed to select for herself. When she.
put on fresh white dress it was a conf
cal sight to see her examine il on all sides
and pull 1t out, first on this side and then
on that; then walk a few steps and ad-
just her pink sash or pull out some fold
in the skirt, that it might hang in the
most approved style. She was so neat that
she could wear white dress two days
and still have it look quite clean.
When her dress and jewelry had been
adjusted to her satisfaction she was al
lowed to ascend to her exhibition room
and have her breakfast. When seated at
the table a napkin was fastened around
her neck, and a bowl of bread and milk
or crackers and milk was placed before
her. This she ate in quite a dainty fash
ion, seldom spilling any of the milk She
also ate fruit and sweetmeats of various
kinds furnished by admiring friends

touched bell and her trainer removed the
dishes.
She had a small bicycle, and it was very
amusing to see her efforts to balance her
self upon ii and try to ride. She never
became a very rapid or graceful rider,
but no one can say what she might have
learned to do upon a wheel had she lived
few years longer.
She liked to change her dress occasion
ally, and this was constant source of
amusement and pleasure to the little folks
who always surrounded her cage. One of
her costumes was a red flannel dress an
apron having a bib, and a cap, and when
dressed in this manner she would with
tub and washboard, act the part of little
washerwoman. She usually took few
whiffs of her pipe, which Prof. Allan had
taught her to use, while acting this part,

have the preference.
AT night she was undressed in the ex-
htbition room, as it was a source of great
amusement to the children to see this
done. She was very particular in this
matter, always requiring that her night
dress should be put on before removing
her union suit. Her hair was carefully
brushed, a night-cap put on her head, and
tie fastened around her neck to protect
her throat. Then she shook hands with
her friends and disappeared for the night.
