A PERSEVERING MONKEY.
Professor Garner's story of Nellie
and the Matchbox.

Monkeys are always happy IL they
have plenty to eat and something to
play with. Professor K. L. Garner, In
his "Apes and Monkeys" says that be

ed greater return in pleasure than q
certain little pocket match safe, which
cost 20 cents. He gave it to a little
monkey, Nellie by name after putting
into 1t a small key to make It rattle
and some bits Of candy.
| She ratified the box and found much
! pleasure in the noise. I showed her
how to press the spring in order to
open the box, but her little black fin
gers were not strong enough to release
the spring.
However. she caught the idea and
knew that the spring was the secret
which held the box closed When she
found that she could not open it with
her fingers, she tried ii with her teeth.
Failing in this, she turned to the wall,
and, standing upright OH the top of
her cage, she took the box IN both
hands and struck the spring against
the wall until the lid few open.
She was perfectly delighted at the
result, and for the hundredth time at
least | closed the box for her to open
It again.
The next time Nellie received the
match safe she was In her cage, and
through its meshes she could not reach
the wall. She had nothing against
which to strike the spring to force 1t
open
After looking around and striking the
box several times against the wires Of
the cage, she discovered a block of
wood about six inches square. She
took this and mounted her perch. Bal
ancing the block on the perch, she held
1t with the left foot. while with the
right foot she chung to the perch. With
her tail wound around the meshes Of
the cage TO steady herself, she care
fully adjusted the matchbox In such
manner as TO protect her fingers from
the blow. Then she struck the spring
against the block of wood, and the lid
few open.
She fairly screamed with delight as
she held up the box.

LIBEL I'M ENGLAND.
Not Hard There TO Give Cause For
Actions at Inv.


England's libel law Is terror to tho
defendants. A short time ago a young
playwright sold n piece 10 Il London
manager and drew small royalty
each week, which was paid by check.
One week when the playwright pre-
sented the check to the bank for cash
ing 1t was returned to him marked
mo funds" The playwright had the
check framed and hung consplcuously
in his study. He took pleasure in
pointing 1t out to visitors and maxim
biting comments until one day the
managers lawyer called and told the
young man that he was committing
serious libel on the manager, where.
upon the check was taken down at
'once.
Over in England the railway com
panies, or at least one Of them, put up
in the station placards bearing the
names Of passengers who had violated
rules Of the road, with addresses, the
nature of the ofrense and fines impos-
ed. The offenders took the matter into
court, and now the placardS show only
the words opposite the offense, "A
passenger"
1t frequently happens that names
given TO villains and ridiculous charac-
ters In fiction will duplicate in real life.
A certain English novel had its scene
laid on the west coast of Africa, and
the villain of the book was a major
In the army, supposed to be stationed
there To the novellst's dlsmay there
appeared one day out of the unknown
a real major, bearing the name of the
villain Of the novel, who also had been
stationed on the west coast of Africa.
In vain the unhappy author protested
In the consequent action that he had
never seen or heard of the plaintiff.
A verdict for the latter was given,
with substantial damages.
a Birmingham lawyer held that one
could libel n man effectually enough
by leaving out his name. He brought
an action against a local paper for
emitting his name from
its reports of cases in which he pro
was engaged. Presumably
he imagined that the loss of the ad-
vertisement he would have obtained
by his name repeatedly appearing was
damage enough. He was nonsuited,
however.

Your Canary.

Don't forget to give your canary the
best of water and seed every day. See
that he has a good fish bone. Clean
his cage every day. Keep him out Of
the hot sun and the glare Of night
lights and set let him have sunshine.
Talk to him; talk TO him with kind
voice. Let him out of the cage occa-
sionally. We give crumbs of bread
soaked in milk, lettuce chlckweed. a
little piece of egg, sometime a little
fruit, a nut and lots of good things and
let him eat or reject as he pleases
Remember he is a prisoner In con
anement, dependent on you every day
for health and life, and constantly
strive to make him happy. A little 10
cent looking glass will add greatly to
his happiness. Take care that neither
sun nor other light reflected shall daz.

THE INDIANS PAID.
what the White Men Charged Them
For Killing One Donkey.

| What the White Men Charged Them
For Killing One Donkey.
In "reminiscences of Old Times In
Tennessee" a story Is told Of the coed
faith and honor of party Of Chicka-
saw Indians. While hunting one fall
they shot donkey, mistaking the
creature for wild animal They sold
the hide, and it finally came to the
hands of John Barnes in Upton.
When the Chickasaws returned to
the region of Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall, Barnes invited them
to shooting match, the prize to be
the skin of very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test, and one of them won the prize.
When he saw the skin, he turned 1t
over and said: 'Ha, ha, me kill him.
Me shoot him. See" And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed donkey very useful animal,
but he was sure that they had done
1t by mistake, believing 1t to be wild
animal.
The Indians listened attentively to
the white mans words and then con-
suited together few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to his
pony, unhitchlng him and leading him
to the spot where gang Of white men
stood, Barnes In the midst of them.
Then one of the Indians spoke:
1--WE sorry we kill donkey. We think
he belong to the woods. We find him
In cane. We think him wild. We
sorry; now we pay. We take no white
mans boss, pony, nothing Of white
man. We honest. We have ponies,
that's all. Take pay" And he mo-
toned to the long line of ponies, held
by their owners.
How many" asked Barnes.
"White man say" returned the In
dian, take plenty"
The honor of the red men was not
equaled by the white men, for, be 1t
recorded to their shame, they took
from the Chickasaws 35 ponies to pay
for the accidental killing of one don
key.

intense than that outside In the sun

Flower Gardens of the Sea.

The sea has It's flower gardens, but
the blooms are not on plants as they
are OIL the land. It Is the animals Of
the sea that make the gardens, the

that fairly rivals the gorgeous color
ing and delicate grace presented by
land flowers So closely do they resem-

The Wheel Problem.

Which, at any given moment, Is NOV
ing forward faster-the top Of coach
wheel or the bottom?
The answer to this question seems
simple enough, but probably nine per-
sons out Of ten. asked at random,
would give the wrong reply. II would
appear at first sight that the top and
bottom must be moving ut the same
rate-that Is. the speed of the carriage.
But by little thought 1t will be dis.

Is in fact. by the direction Of its mo-
ton around its axis. moving backward.

Ing forward with the double velocity
