STORIES ABOUT MONKEYS.
India's Sacred Sfmians-Baboons
Who Fight Together.

Who Fight Together.
The entellus monkey is the most
sacred Of all in India. 1t is gray above
and nutty brown below, thief and
impudent robber. In one Of the In
dian cities they became such nui-
sance that the faithful determined to
catch and send away some hundreds
This was done and the holy monkeys
were deported in covered carts and
released many miles off. But the mon
keys were too clever. Having thor
oughly enjoyed their ride, they all re-
fused to part with the carts, and hop
ping and grimacing, came leaping all
the way back beside them to the city
grateful for their outing. One city OBJ
tained leave to kill the monkeys; but
the next city then sued them for kill
ing their deceased ancestors" In these
monkey-infested cities if one man
wishes to spite another he throws
few handfuls of rice on the roof of his
house about the rainy season. The
monkeys come, find the rice and quiet
ly lift off many Of the tiles and throw
them away, seeking more rice in the
interstices.
The only animals which thoroughly
understand combination for defence as
we'll as attack are the baboons; but
Brehm, the German traveller, gives g
charming story Of genuine courage and
self sacrifice shown by one. His hunt
ing dog gave chase to a troop which
was retreating to some cliffs and cut
off very young one, which ran up or
to a rock, only just out Of reach Of the
dogs. An old male baboon saw this
and came to the rescue. Slowly and
deliberately he descended, crossed the
open space, and stamping his hands on
the ground, showing his teeth, and
backed by the furious barks Of the rest
of the baboons, he disconnected and
cowed these savage dogs, climbed to to
the rock, picked up the baby and car
ried him back safely. II the dogs had
attacked the old patriarch his tribe
would probably have helped him. Bur-
shell, the naturalist, after whom Bur-
chells zebra is named, let his dogs
chase a troop. The balloons turned on
them, killed one on the spot by biting
through the great blood vessels of the
neck and laid bare the ribs of another
The Cape Dutch in the old colony
would rather let their dogs bait a lion
than a troop Of baboons. The rescue
of the infant chaoma, which Brehm

saw himself, is a remarkable, and in
deed, the most incontestable instance
Of the exhibition of courage and self
sacrifice by a male animal
Any account Of chimpanzees would

Sally, the most educated of her order.
Sally who lived in the Zoo for over six
years. learned to count perfectly to up
to six and less perfectly to ten; she
could also distinguish white from any
other color; but If other colors were
presented her she failed, apparently
from color blindness. OF this ape the
late DR.. G. J. Komanes wrote with
something more than the enthusiasm
Of a clever man pursuing a favorite
theme:
Her intelligence was conspicuously
displayed by the remarkable degree In
which she was able to understand the
meaning Of spoken language-a degree
fully equal to that presented by an
infant a few months before emerging
from infancy, and therefore higher
than that which Is presented by any
brute, so far, at least, as have evil
dence to show. She was taught to
count by means of picking up straws
and being rewarded, when the correct
number asked for had been given, with
a piece Of fruit. Sally rarely made mis-
takes up to five; but above five and up
to ten, to which one Of the keepers en-
deavored to advance her education, the
result Is uncertain. 1t is evident that
she understood the words seven, eight,
nine and ten to betoken numbers high
er than those below them. When she
was asked for any number over six she
always gave some number over six and
under ten. She sometimes doubled over
a straw to make it present two ends,
and was supposed thus to hasten the
attainments Of her task. k."-London

county. A farmer above town says he

never seen as much pains taken to put
it in right. He also commended the
merchants for the easy terms of SELL

were acting mighty nicely towards the
farmers. was reported here on
Monday that Lee Belk had shot Eli
son Alsobrooks through the head on
Sunday at the colored Baptist associa-

we ascertained that Alsobrooks was
not dead-that the load Of bird shot
had taken effect in his head-but that
the wound was not considered fatal.

MARK TwAIN's APoLoGY.-A new
Mark Twain story has just been un-
earthed. It seems that at one time the
humorist's neighbors were Harriet
Beecher Stowe and her daughters, and
Mark Twain had habit Of running in
to see them, often in somewhat shah
by costume, greatly to the distress OF
Mrs. Clemens.
One morning, as he returned from
the Stoves, sans necktie, Mrs. Glenn
ems met him at the door with the ex-
clamation: There, Sam, you have
been over to the Stoves again without
a necktie. It's really disgraceful the
way you neglect your dress!" Her
husband said nothing but went up to
his room. A few minutes later Mrs.
Stowe was summoned to the door by a
messenger who presented her with a
small box neatly done up. She open
ed it and found a black silk necktie
accompanied by the following note:
Here is a necktie. Take it out and
look at it. think I stayed at your
house half an hour this morning. AT
the end of that time will you kindly
Surn it, as it is the only one have. d

When He Was Afraid.

President Roosevelt was not always
the mighty hunter he is now. He has
had his day of being afraid Of big
game. But that was many years ago,
when he was a wee little boy in short
trousers and used to play tag in Madi-
son Square in New York.
Opposite the square, on the east side,
stood O Presbyterian church, and the
sexton, while airing the building one
Saturday, noticed small boy peeping
curiously in at the half open door; but
making no move to enter.
Come in, my little man, If you
wish to-" said the sexton.
mo, thank you," said the boy. Il
know what you've got in there"
II haven't anything that little boys
mayn't see. Come in"
I'D rather not" And the Juvenile
Theodore cast sweeping and some
what apprehensive glance around the
pews and galleries and bounded off to
play again.
Still the lad kept returning once in
a while and peeping in. When he went
home that day he told his mother OF
the sections invitation and his unwill-
ingness to accept it.
But why didn't you go in, my
dear?" she asked. 1T is the house OF
God, but there Is no harm in entering
it quietly and looking about"
With some shyness the little fellow
confessed that he was afraid to go In
because the zeal might jump out at
him from under a pew or somewhere.
THE zeal? What is the zeal?" the
mother inquired.
why" explained Theodore, II sup
pose it is some big animal like dragon
or an alligator. T went there to church
last Sunday with Uncle R, and
heard the minister read from the Bible
about the zeal, and it frightened me.
Down came the concordance from
the library shelf, and one after another
of the texts containing the word "zeaf

denly grew big and his voice excited
as he exclaimed:

in threatening tones, as he brought his

"A friend" answered little Tommie
from behind the rocking chair.

hissed the sentry, "or I'll shoot your
