Monkey and Violin.

1t may surprise many persons to learn
that monkeys, despite their cleverness,
are not enduringly susceptible to the
influences of "higher education" for in
finite is their innate depravity. found
them ready enough to learn, but per-
sistent In refusal to display their knowl-
edge when required to do SO by their
patient teacher. This peculiar side of
monkey nature was forcibly impressed
on me when 1 tried to form an orches-
ira, or string band, among the simians
of my menagerie.
We were in winter quarters, and as it
was my custom to devote my spare
time during the cold term to tanning and
training wild animals for the next sea-
son, I had a family of monkeys con-
fined in an apartment adjoining my
reading, smoking and music room.
One morning upon entering the cot
tage my ears were greeted by the sound
of my cello. paused, wondering what
visitor had provoked my rich-toned in

Then l approached closely and through

Seated upon chair, with smoking
cap on his head, spectacles on his nose
and meerschaum pipe in his mouth, was

AS rule only plain, substantial food
should be taken into camp. If you
have planned to go into the wild in
terror many miles away from any base
of supplies, ample provisions should
be taken along. These had better be
purchased, however, at the last settle
ment where store exists before turn
ing into the woods. If camping under
such conditions, it will be necessary in
making up your requisition to know
just about how much to allow for a
days rations for each man and figure
accordingly.
An ordinary vacation camping-out is
much more simple matter to arrange,
as camp is pitched usually within touch
of some farm, store or supply boat. In
any event it will not do to depend on
the fish you catch and the game you
kill or the visit of the supply boat. Suf-
fcient canned soups, meats, smoked
hams, vegetables, condensed milk and
dried or eyaporated fruits to last at
least week should be carried with you
into the forest
You will find it much more desirable
| and convenient to be provided with a
folding chafing dish or with one of the
camp-kits Of which there is so great a
variety on the market. The chafing
dish occupies little space when travel
ing, the stand, lamp, extinguisher, han
| die and dish being placed inside the hot
water pan. A camp-kit consists Of va
trious necessary cooking utensils and a
stove which fit closely into one an
| other, the whole going snugly into a
camp boiling pot, the lid of which may
be used as a wash hand basin. OF into a

ing purposes. /,
All cooks know the value of brisk
fire. How to build one properly and
keep it alight is the most important Sc
cret of the woodsman. In building
fireplace, dig hole in the ground from
one to two feet and about four feet
long, on a slope, if possible. Line the
bottom and sides with stones. At one
end of this space place your firestand.
The other end will make an excellent
baking oven. The fire dying down will
leave the stone lining red hot and a
cious dishes may be cooked. When
you have to have the heat for long
time place the utensil containing the
food to be cooked in the hot ashes at
the bottom, fill up the sides of the hole
around the pan with other stones, and
thoroughly cover it with more hot
stones and timber. By watching your
fire and keeping the heat above the
cover of your pot, the stones around the
sides and bottom will retain their heat
for hours.
That your fire may be protected in
rainy weather, build around the hole
you have dug wall of small timbers,
plastering the ends with mud or notch
ing the logs. Make the wall higher on
the north and northwest, as the winds
and storms which would soon put your
fire out come more quickly from this di-
rection than any other. For further
protection erect four posts, over which
draw piece of tenting, or lay saplings
from post to post and make covering
of boughs, at sufficient height to per-
NIT the cook to stand upright. It is well
also to prevent your fire from being ex-
tinguished by a sudden overflow to dig
a trench around the logs.

New Varieties of Strawberries.

Two causes contribute much to the
running out or rapid deterioration of
new varieties of strawberries that are
sent out with testimonials of large
fruit and great yields. First, the large
yields are obtained by heavier manur-
ing and better care than they get in or
binary field culture, and in the haste to
obtain plants to sell, the vines that
have been weakened by heavy bearing
are again forced to send out runners.

USE OF DRUGS IN VERMONT.


People of the State Seem Given Over
Narcotic and Stimulating Potions.
DR.. A. P. Grinnell, a prominent physi-
clan of Vermont, has been making a
thorough canvass of the stores of that
State with a view to ascertaining the
extent to which the people are given to
the drug habit. The results of his in
are startling to those who
have looked upon that state as land
of steady habits. In sixty-nine towns,
from which the doctor obtained state
ments of sales, it was found that the
monthly sale of gum opium was At
pounds II ounces; of morphine powder,
10 pounds Is ounces; of morphine pills,
1888 grains; of dovers powders, %
pounds; of paregoric, 80 gallons and 1
quart; of laudanum, 80 gallons and
quart; of cocaine, q ounces drahm
and 80 grains; of chloral, 81 pounds
ounces; of Indian hemp, 81 ounces; Of
quinine powders, 15 pounds 10 ounces;
of quinine pills, 74,2O0.
Where the returns were indefinite the
amounts were put down as zero, and in
summing up his report on the subject,
which was read before the Vermont
Medical Society, the doctor stated that
his figures should be multiplied by five
to obtain the actual amount of drugs
sold in Vermont monthly, for he had
not included drugs sold from wholesale
stores. nor those used by practicing
;o;,
used by manufacturers Of medicines.
Analysis of the actual figures OBJ
tanned, without their being multiplied
at all, shows that siXty-nine towns in
Vermont pay for morphine alone, at a
cost Of 10 cents grain, more than 81,
600 a month. OF the consumption of
opium in the State the doctor says:
"In the regular drug stores, and in
100 of the 172 general stores in the
State of Vermont, there are. sold every
what is dispensed in patent medicines,
and besides what the doctors dispense,
which gives one and one-half doses of
opium to every man and woman in the
State above the age of p years every
day of the year. By dose b mean one
grain opium, one-eighth grain NOR
phine, one-half ounce paregoric and
twenty drops of laudanum. The amount
consumed each month means a halt
dose for every man, woman and child in
the State every day of the year"
He further says:
in one place, SO small that it hardly
shows on the map, three and one-hal1
pounds of gum opium, six ounces OF
morphine, five pints of paregoric, five
pints of laudanum and three ounces OF
powdered quinine are consumed in 9
month";

Making a Permanent Pasture.
On many farms it would certainly
pay to abandon the old pasture as soon
as possible, and do the work necessary
to get the new field in shape. Most
farmers are not inclined to take for
pasture fields anything but such mead
ows that no longer yield profitable crops
Of hay. This is mistake, for they are,
often times by this practice, turning
land into pasture fields that is too Valu-
able for that purpose, and which might
be reseeded after the proper manipula-
ton; and be made to yield large crops
of hay. One Of the best growers of hay
In the country recommends the follow
ing mixture for permanent pasture:
Red clover, pounds; Alsike clover, 4
pounds; Kentucky bluegrass, 31a
pounds; orchard grass, 31a pounds;
meadow fescue, 31a pounds; redtop, 31a
pounds, timothy, pounds. These seeds
are well mixed, and the quality given is
the seeding for an acre. The seeding is
done about the 1st of September, after
preparing the ground thoroughly during
the summer. If started at once the
ground may be plowed now and sowed
to buckwheat, which should be plowed
under when in bloom. This would add
the desired humus to the soil. After
plowing under the buckwheat, just be-
fore the sowing of the grass seed mix
ture, the ground should receive the fol-
lowing fertilizer: One hundred pounds
of acid phosphate, thirty pounds of
dried blood, twenty pounds of nitrate
Of soda and thirty pounds Of muriate of
potash. This gives 1S0 pounds Of mix
ture to the acre, to be well narrowed in
before the seed is sown. After the seed
is sown, the ground should be well
rolled. The first season after seeding,
the grass might be cut, but the cattle
should not be turned into the field until
the second year

Eyesight stim Unimpaired.

We visited Uncle Amos last Satur-

still unimpaired, and he was as clipper
as cricket. At dinner we inquired

CHAPTER XXI.

Mr.. Lincoln had failed. At the corners
of the streets groups Of men stood to-
gether, talking over the matter, and as
cribing it, some to his carelessness, some
to his extreme good nature in indorsing
for anyone who asked, and others, the
knowing ones, winked slyly as they said,
'they guessed he knew what he was
about-they'd known before of such
things as failing rich;;" but the mouths
of those last were stopped when they
heard that the household furniture, every
thing was given up for the benefit of his
creditors, and was to be sold at auction
during the coming week.
When the day of the auction arrived,
it required the persuasion of both Mrs.
Campbell and Mary to keep Jenny from
going, she knew not whittier herself, but
anywhere to be near and take one more
look at the dear old furniture as it pass
ed into the hands of strangers. At last
Mrs. Campbell promised that black Ezra,
who had accompanied her from Chicopee,
should go and report faithfully all the
proceedings, and then Jenny consented to
remain at home; though all the day she
seemed restless and impatient, wondering
how long before Uncle Ezra would re-
turn, and then weeping as in fancy she
saw article after article disposed of to
those who would know little how to
prize it.

AUTHORITY QUESTIONED
Photo by Smith, Boston.

Henry L. Cooper, Acting Governor.
Of Yong Kong Hong, charged with
false personatlon, In the Police Court
yesterday afternoon. The complaint,
made by Mr.. Cooper himself, was to
the effect that the Chinaman men
toned appeared before him on or about
the 18th day of March, 1901, and rep
resented that he was Tom Dow; also
that he had previously obtained
records Of naturalization from the Ha-
allan government; that he desired a
certified copy of said record Of natu-
ralization and certificate Of naturali-
ration which were issued to Tong Kong
Hong in the name Of Tom Cow, under
the signature Of the affiant and the
great seal Of the Territory Of Hawaii.
The complaint goes on to say that
Tom Cow. to whom the record Of ma
turalization was issued was dead at
the time Yong Kong Hong made the
application for the certified copy.
In his capacity of Secretary OF the
Territory Mr.. Cooper. the first witness
In the case, testified that he had the
custody Of all the original Chinese
records Issued, and certified copies. II
had been his custom for some time to

Mr.. Cooper further stated that he
recognized the defendant as the per-
son who made the application for a
certificate In March. He was accom-
panied by several persons among
whom was Mr.. Girvin and Wong Lee
ong. Chinese interpreter. Mr.. Cooper
said he had received from the defeE-
dant copies of his photograph. He
further stated that the Chinaman did
not give the name of Yong Kong Hong
but that of Tom Cow, the man who IL
supposed to be dead. .#
