business Of furnishing monkey aero
nauts for country fairs and street
shows. reports the Chronicle, but
they came 10 grief, and as result the
monkey market is pretty stih These
fellows lessened the visible supply by
a considerable number OF the simians,
who lost their lives by dropping from
a perilous height. The secret Of my
business is the naturalness with
which the monkey hangs TO the ira
pezelbar OF the balloon or parachute
attached 10 IT,
Last summer explained that the
trick was easy, that the monkey would
never let go u nut In his hand and as
long as he gripped II with the hand
thrust through manacle attached

attitude. I said the other arm was
held down by bandnge and the monA
could not reach tho nut with hi:
other hand. A few slick fellows got
some monkeys and started In oppos+
ton"
"Why should not the trick work foI
them?" inquired q listener.
"rhey forgot that the monks fee

as had not enlightened anyone OF
the care Of that part OF the simiani
anatomy they lost some high-priceS

fastens into the heel Of the shoe. those
which require heel plates and the
kind that is fastened entirely by
means of straps, are some of the
varieties which are In common use
among the children and some of the
older people of Akron. Skates with
straight blades and those that curl up
in front like sleds are seen among
the rest.
There appears to be very little envy
among the youthful skaters of the
city, and in fact, the urchin who may
possess the kind with wooden tops,
and an artistic curl to the runner, in
front, is followed by more covetous
eyes than any other, Snow and ice
have almost an equal number of
patrons. The streets are cut up by
the scurrying youthful feet as much
as the ponds and the rinks, and the
numbers who enjoy the sport are evi-
dence that skating is one of the most
popular winter pastimes OF the
country.
