Won by the Monkeys.

Monkeys are very amusing creatures,
but one hardly thinks of them as useful
in educational work. However, their aid
has lately been sought by the London
school officers, with admirable results. 1t
seems that in one OF the school districts
there were not as many children reported
By the parents as being Of school age as
the officers knew there ought to be, so to
ascertain the real number they called ID
the monkeys to help them in this way:
Two monkeys were gayly dressed, put
in wagon and, accompanied by brass
band. were carried through the streets Of
the district. At once crowds Of children
made their appearance. The procession
was stopped in park, and the school
officers began their work. Distributing
sweets to youngsters, they took their
names and addresses. They found out
that 60 parents kept their children from
school, This ingenious method brought
to school about 200 boys and giris.-ln-
dian Witness.

Odd Cent Prices.

Analysts Of human nature vainly seek
an adequate explanation Of the species OF
mesmerism that odd cent prices exercise
on buyers. Department stores have long
used them to whet the proverbial fenl-
nine appetite for bargains, but the Gus
tom is now so widespread among
clothiers, haberdashers and hatters as TO
merit consideration. What are the carl
caturists ar emmy liners, who have
poked no c, fun at the gentle sex fol
yielding to subtle fascination Of 9S
cents and Sis. TO do when mems suits
are offered fo. 5000, hats for S1.6I and
ties for 23 cents? Alas for the manu-
facturers OF humor, cruelty deprived Of
one Of their chief sources Of revenue!
Seriously. however, the spread Of the odd
cent idea is to be deprecated. 1t has

Ga1usha 4. Grow.

It has been suggested that some appro-
pirate honor be paid to Congressman Ga
lusha a. Grow Of Pennsylvania at the
coming celebration at st. Louis Of the
Louisiana purchase. He is the author OF
the homestead law, enacted in 1854,
which did so much to develop the west
by making home getting easy.
1T is difficult" says the Washington
Times, ''for the present generation Of
Americans, surrounded by the modern
conditions. with fierce competition in
the struggle for existence, to realize that
there is in congress today man who is q
link between the infancy Of the nation
and its present giant proportions-be-
tween the crude industrial conditions Of
the dawn OF the century, now IN its
twilight, and the highly organized ma
chinery Of the country's commercial
forces. In his personality and record the
Hon. Galusha A. Grow is that link. II
he lives until 1903-and his remarkable
vitality and enthusiasm indicate that he
will-he will occupy unique and con-
spicuous position in the celebration Of the
great event at St. Louis in that year."
