BETTER THAN A FENCE.
Troublesome Monkeys Kept at Dis- tance by Daubfng with TreacIe
 and Tartar Emetic.


 In "A Sportswoman in India' Miss Savory writes entertainingly of the monkeys in the foothills of the Him alayas. For cool impudence and au- dacity, she says, these hill monkeys stand unrivaled; they slip into the bungalows at Dalhousie and carry off anything from the breakfast or tea table, if the room is empty. They spring from tree to tree, from house to house-a mother, it may be, with two young ones clinging to her, a loaf of bread in one hand and a bunch of bananas in her mouth, which she had just ssneaked' from q dining-room.
 .'Of course, monkeys are very trou- blesome in plantations. Few men can shoot a monkey; they are too human-lil1e and pathetic when wound ed. We met an Englishman who was trying to protect his sugar cane patch with great trench and a palisade covered with nails. All to no pur- pose.
 'sHe walked down to it one morn ing and found row of monkeys seated on the palisade. The moment he came within reach they threw his own sugar cane into his face, after which they got down and strolled away, leisurely munching.
 ''Such things were not to be borne. Our friend chased flock into tree, felled the tree and caught four or five young monkeys. The parents waited near, in great consternation, anxiously watching while their in- fants were painted from head to foot with treacle and tartar emetic. On being allowed to go they rushed off into the fond and welcoming arms, and were instantly carried up into the woods, and there assiduously licked clean from top to toe by their affectionate parents.
 '.The natural effects followed, and the pitiable condition of the old mon- keys can scarcely be imagined. That patch of sugar cane was never rified again."

Genius of the Rail in Literature.

The wonderful growth of railroad in these times of prosperity is aptly il- lustrated in a reader" sent out. The statement is made that one train on that road leaving New York daily traverses no less than nine southern states. How is this for style in rail road literature: "In it's service will be found all of those tributes which the genius of the rail has from time to time laid at the feet of comfort" :" And this: ''This splendid train has been further improved by the addi- tion of q club ear, creation whose prime object is the annihilation of time and space through the medium of well-appointed metropolitan cafe and smoking room" The train is styled the train de luxe.

Teaching the Mosquito.

It is possible to accomplish not only more than one expects, but much more than one desires. 'I understand Brown went to New Jersey last sum- mer to study the mosquito" said one man to another, referring to well- known entomologist. .'So heard," said the second man, "but when met him the other day he said he felt that instead of studying entomology he'd been engaged in teaching anthropoi- ogy most of the time! e!"-Youth's Com panion.

Last in Memorial Day Parade.

Or0er OF N. II. Lee Decllues 10 be
Last in Memorial Day Parade.
Atlanta. April 1s--The Atlanta ladies
composing the order of r. E. Lee in At
lanta emphatically refuse to occupy the
last place in the ladies' organizations in
the Memorial Day parade on April IS.
Grand Marshal Wright gave the Ladies
Memorial Association front place in the
ladies division because the association
projected the parade.
The second place in the division caused
considerable unrest and perturbation.
There was but one second place, and there
happened to be two organizations of la
dies that wanted it. The marshal pom
dered over the problem several days be-
fore he finally decided to give it to the
Daughters of the Confederacy. The
Daughters of the Confederacy the mar
shall decided, were entitled to second
place, since in last years parade they
we're assigned to third place and would
not have it, the parade moving msjesti-
cally through the streets with third place
conspicuously vacant, while the order of
r. E. Lee triumphantly held second place.
The ladies of the order of R. f. Lee,
of which Mrs. w. L. Peel is president,
now assert they will occupy second place
or none at ALL and they will probably de-
eide to withdraw.

and announced that he had disposed OF
his business TO a club that had been or

that the only difference in the conduct
