Monkeys Hard TO Train.

To make a monkey into an actor
is a difficult feat, because he is too In
telligent to train into obedience. IL
is, indeed, dictum with some snow
men that the more intelligent an ami
NAL is the more difficult it is to train
him 10 do tricks, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. This is illustrated in the
case of the horse, which is peculiar
ly stupid animal, and has always to
be worked mechanically; and yet
horses are exceedingly easy to train.
A donkey, on the other hand. which
is really more intelligent than horse,
is not easy to teach, because he al

that new way Of making cake?" He
admitted that he was. you said, Mix
washing-soda with the -four, and stir
in a little bran and sweet oil to give
it consistency, "Ye-yes." STAN
mered the editor. "And you said, Add
syrup and gill Of vinegar, and two
ounces of gum arabic when the cake
is half baked The gum arabic, you
told us, was to give the cake rica ap-
pearance on top" Il believe you are
right said the trembling editor
We'll, take that, thenl" And the IN

weapon that felt like club, but which
instinct told him was chunk OF the

A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.

X dying patient RECEIVERS through
the iIterposition OF humble German
Chicago, Nov. Is.
Some weeks ago DR.. c., very
reputable and widely known physi-
clan, living on c. Street, was call
ed to attend a very complicated case
Of Rheumatism Upon arriving at the
house he found a man about forty
years Of age, lying in a Frustrated
and serious condition, with his whole
frame dangerously affected with .he
painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient, but the man continued to
grow worse, and on Sunday evening
he was found to be in a very alarm
ing condition. The knees and elbows
and larger joints were greatly infam-
ed, and could not be moved 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the
patient could be turned in bed, with
the aid of three or four persons. The
weight of the clothing was so painful
that means had to be adopted to keep
it from the patients body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be of no avail, and left tne
house, the. members of the family
following him to the door, weeping.
Almost Immediately the grief stricken
ones were addressed by an humble
German. He had heard of the despair
of the family, and now asked them to
try his remedy, and accordingly
brought forth a bottle of st. Jacobs
OIL The poor wife applied this rem
edy. The first application eased the
patient very much: after few hours
they used it agair, and, wonder of
wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improv-
ed the patient, and in two days he
was well and out When the doctor
called a few days after. he was in
deed surprised.
