MONKEY in IN Enaine Cab.

When engine No. 326 of the New
York Central went into the freight
yards at Tarrytown one night last
week strange face peered out Of the
cab window. The train carried some
animals belonging to the Boston show.
When it stopped at a way station few
miles above Tarrytown, Admiral Far
ragut, one of the largest monkeys, es-
capped. When the train started, the
monkey made a. quick scramble for the
front car, when the glow of the fire in
the cab of the locomotive appealed to
him. The Admiral made his way over
the tender and entered the cab, to the
surprise Of Engine Driver Edwards and
Fireman Martin Kelly. He was made
comfortable, and allowed to continue
his ride to Tarrytown, where one of
the keepers took HMM charge.

Mr. Bishop of Bridgeport states his as
sertion of the very large number of
purchasable voters in the country
towns of the state, but in making the
statement he has done more to bring
out this question Of money in politics
than any one before him. 1t takes two
to make a bargain and therefore the
man with vote to sell is out Of bust
ness unless there is someone to buy
his vote. The expenditure of 100000
to conduct an election in Connecticut
is reason enough for the general as
sembly to go to the bottom of this mat
ter and take such steps as will protect
both the state and candidates for Office.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP.
(From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neighbor-
hood. One of the most terrible things
in the world is to be awakened in the
middle Of the night by a Whoop from
one of the children. The Group rem
edies are almost as sure to be lost, in
case of Group, as a revolver is sure
to be lost in case Of burglars. There
used to be an o1d-fashioneds remedy
for Group, known as hive syrup and
tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better, and does not cost so much. 1t
causes the patient to throw up the
phlegm'' quicker, and gives relief in a
shorter time Give this remedy as
soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take.

Outside of the money market the
situation is fairly satisfactory, says
Banker Henry Clews in his weekly let
ter. There is little occasion for con-
Germ beyond the fact that high prices
are beginning to check new enterprise,
and declining profits are certainly be-
coming more numerous. There is no
doubt but that the crest Of prosperity's
wave has been passed and partial re-
action is on, although the volume Of
business seems large when measured
in dollars. When quantities are used
for comparisons the results are not so
gratifying. Tt is most unfortunate
that the future should be clouded by
the threatened prospect of labor
troubles. Should these become more
aggravated they might easily impose a
serious strain upon our already over
loaded financial machinery. Labor has
already received many concessions in
shorter hours and higher wages during
the last few years, and much larger
share of corporation earnings has gone
to labor in making improvements than
to stockholders in the form of in
creased dividends. Tie disastrous eff
fects of the late coal strike have not
yet been fully felt. The consequences
of high-priced fuel win shortly be seen
in diminished profits to the producer
and high prices to the consumer, whose
sentiments rather than his Judgment
led him to sympathize with the strilz-
ers. Some very valuable lessons In
economics are being learned just now
in the costly school of experience.

Old Marriage Manners.

The French "dot" comes proba-
bly, from the small coin which the
Roman bride brought with her to
her husbands house.
The modern scramble for the
brides bouquet comes from a SINH
lar scramble that took place at the
close of the ancient ceremony, when
the guests fought good naturally
over the white thorn torch that had
been borne in the bridal procession.
The most marked difference be-
tween old and new ideas lies in the
fact that part of June was forbid
den the Romans as time for we'd
dings. From the LIST to the 18th
the month was sacred to Vesta, and
no marriages were permitted, al
though Vesta herself was the god
dess of domesticity. May, too, was
prohibited, and this is thought to
be the reason why May marriages
still are considered unlucky. Ro-
man belief and customs forbade the
ceremony also from the 18th to the
gath of February, from the 1st to
the 9th Of March, on the Gath of
August, the 5th of October and the
9Th of November, three days when
hades was supposed to be particu-
larly wide open.

A DOGS Graveyard.

Edinburgh boasts of the only
graveyard where canine pets are reg
ularly inferred and their last rest
ing places marked with gravestones.
This old cemetery lies on the north
ern face of the Castle Rock, below
st. Margaret's chapel, in the famous
old castle of Edinburgh. 1t was
founded long time ago for the ex-
elusive use of dogs who have been
pets of the various regiments which
have been quartered at the castle.
Almost twoscore dogs have been
buried in it, and the grave of each
one is marked, some with stones as
large as are used for human beings
and others merely tiny monuments.
The cemetery is inclosed by low
wall of stone and is always pointed
out to visitors as the only one of it's
kind in the world.

The EarthQuake.

To the average resident of the
temperate zones an earthquake is a
rare and terrible event, creating
more CONSERVATION than any other
visitation of nature. In the tropics,
however, particularly in Central
America, it is wonderful how easily
the residents become accustomed to
these shocks, which do not come,
however, wholly without warning.
You are sitting on a piazza on a
hot afternoon chatting with your
friends when suddenly the sky seems
to grow hazy, and the crows stop
cawing. There is a general rush,
and, though you may not know what
is the matter, you cannot help feel
ing uneasy.
The old natives say, "We're going
to have little shake" and then the
house begins to rock, the tumblers
fall off the table, you feel deathly
sick at the stomach, and the thing
is all over. The sky clears, the
crows begin their noisy screams, and
things are soon put right again.

Would Try the Old Masters.

A reputation for wit is like roll
ing snowball-it gathers from with
out more than it develops from
within. He who possesses the repu-
tation for witty stories shall have
witty stories added to him, so to
speak. Just so with the great ma
tional type, the American parvenu.
There is a charming woman in
Washington who betrays her begin
nings sometimes, so all the mala-
propisms current are told of her.
And here is another It is prob
ably quite as true as some of the
others. An acquaintance met the
lady on the deck of an outgoing
steamer. Two of her daughters were
with her.
"What, off for Europe again ?

I'm going to have the dear girls
portraits painted.
"Why not in America ?"

artists in vain. Now we're going

can do"

The Value of Honesty.

Congressman William Alden Smith,
OF Michigan in illustrating the value
OF honesty In politics, told story the
other day of an old governor of Mich
lgan who became candidate on con-
dition that he should not be asked to
make speeches.
An occasion soon arose. however.
when the regular orators we're absent
from meeting, and the crowd insist
ed on hearing from the candidate
himself.
He walked to the front and bravely
announced that he was no speaker
with considerable repetition, and
after little halting, proceeded to
talk for three quarters of an hour.
When the meeting was over, the
candidate had quite come to the con-
clusion that he was a speaker after
all, and especially did he feel so when
an old farmer came up to him to say
that, although lifelong democrat, he
had decided as result of what he had
card to vote this time for the repub-
lican candidate.
Before the latter, in his bushes,
could stammer out a response, the old
farmer continued: "What we want as
governors is honest men. You are
one. You said that you were no
speaker. You told the truth. 1 shall

UNCROWNED QUEENS.
Seven of Them Have Sat Upon the
Throne of England.

Throne of England.
English history shows that there
were several queens of England
just seven Of them, in fact-who
were never crowned.
Margaret Of France, the young
secord wife of Edward l., was oblig-
ed to forego all the splendors of
such pageant because her royal
husband, forsooth, could not afford
the expense of a coronation.
King Henry VIII. took most of
his wives without giving them the
ceremony of coronation. But in
his case there were so many of them
that his course might have been
deemed wise economy. Besides,
he spent so much the once he did 90
i'll for a queens coronation, that of
Anne Boleyn, that it is small won
der the money fell short for the la
dies who succeeded her, Jane Sey-
mour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine
Howard and Catherine Parr.
Henrietta Maria, the young and
pretty wife of Charles l., went with
out coronation not from necessity,
but from choice. Being a French
princess and Roman Catholic, she
declined to take part in state func-
ton which would oblige her to par
take Of the sacrament according to
the Church of England rites.
Caroline of Brunswick was denied
the pleasure Of a coronation not for
financial reasons nor for religious
principles, but because her spouse,
George ", particularly specified
that he wouldn't have her share in
his honor. When he was crowned,
he would not even permit her to be
present at Westminster abbey to see
the ceremony. When she tried to
get in, she was repulsed and turned
away from all of the entrances. She
went home to die three weeks later
OF a violent fever, induced by the
excitement.

An individual went into a second

on suit of clothes. Putting on a
coat and vest, he pointed up to a
high shelf and said:

The dealer got up the ladder to
reach them down, and while there
the man ran out, still wearing the
coat and vest and followed by the
dealer, shouting: "Stop thief! Stop
thief"

be passing leveled his gun and was

does everything he can, he thinks, to
make her happy and in spite Of that,
