MISSING LINK IN JAVA.
= Species of Gibbon That POssesSez
More Human characteristics
Than Other Simians,

Prof. Ernest Hackel'sl latest publ
cation contains some curious informa-
ton about the human monkey of Java,
from which the Berlin correspondent
of the London Standard selects the fol-
lowing:
The most interesting specimen was
a young gibbon, which Herr Hackel
had an opportunity of watching for
several months at his own house at
Bultenzorg, in Java. The species OF
gibbon to which this animal belongs is
found only in Java, its scientific name
being hylobates leuciscus. BY the ma
t1ves it is called GA, on account of the
characteristic sounds it utters. The
little animal, when standing erect, is
scarcely taller than child of six wears.
The head is comparatively small, the
waist slender, the legs short and the
arms much longer. The face of the GA
is more human than that of the orang.
Herr Hackel says:
Its physiognomy reminded me of the
manager of an insolvent bank, ponder
ing with wrinkled brow, over the re-
suits of the crash. The distrust of the
GA toward all white Europeans was
very noticeable; but, on the other
hand, he formed an intimate relation
ship with the brown Malays of our
household, and especially the small
children. He never crawled on all
tours. When he was tired with running,
he stretched himself out on the gras S
and let the tropical sun shine on his
body. Usually he laid one arm under
his head and assumed exactly the atti-
tude of weary wanderer who lies
down on his back in the shade of a
tree.
When I held piece of tasty food
just out of his reach he cried, like a
naughty child, 'Huite, huite, huite!' a
sound altogether different from the
'Oa, GA, oa,' which he used to express
various emotions. He uttered third
and shriller sound when he was sud-
denly frightened. The speech of these
human monkeys has not many differ
ent sounds, but those given are modu-
lated and altered in tone, strength and
number of repetitions. The monkey
also uses many gestures, motions with
the hands and grimaces, in such an ex-
pressive manner that the careful OBJ
server can detect different wishes and
various emotions.
Besides milk and cocoa he liked
sweet wine. He grasped the cup very
skillfully with both hands and drank
like child. He peeled bananas and
oranges just as we are accustomed to
do. Holding the fruit with the left
hand he removed the rind quite skill
fully with the right, and bit off one
piece after the other. Most Malays do
not look upon the gibbon and the or
ang-outang as animals. The former
they believed to be bewitched men, and
the latter criminals who, as punish
ment, were changed into monkeys.
Others, again, think they are men in
the course of metempsychosis."

COOKING VEGETABLES.
How to Avoid Mistakes which Very
frequently Render Them Abso-
IuteIy Tasteless.

A great many cook-books order ali
fresh vegetables to be placed in an
abundance of boiling water and
cooked slowly for considerable
time. Many vegetables are ruined
by being cooked in this way Po-
tatoes, asparagus, peas and caull-
flower should. be boiled in small
amount of water and cooked steadily
but slowly. Overlooking will make
all of these vegetables tasteless. Do
not salt any of them until they are
half done.
Young summer cabbage should be
cooked in an abundance of boiling
water. When it has cooked for Is
minutes take it up and cool it in
cold water. 1t may then be chopped
and dressed, allowing a cup of
cream, tablespoonful of flour mixed
with two tablespoonfuls of -four,
salt and pepper. Let the chopped
cabbage simmer in this cream sauce
for three-quarters of an hour. An
other way to cook cabbage is to
blanch, as described. Take out the
heart with scoop, stuff the cab
bage with sausage meat, lay it in a
saucepan with buttered paper over
it, and let it cook one hour, bast-
ing it often with it's own juices.
The best way to cook beets is in
cold water. Wash them well, being
careful not to puncture them or
break off the tips. Put in sauce
pan, cover with water, add hand
full of salt and two tablespoonful
of vinegar. Let them boil rapidly
for an hour and ten minutes. If old
beets, cook an hour longer. Lift one
by one. into cold water, peel and re-
turn to the water in which they were
boiled, if they are to be cooled
Carrots should be scraped and
washed, cut in slices half an inch
thick and cook in sailed water for
30 minutes. Serve in cream sauce.
String beans should be boiled slow
ly for two hours.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE WORLDS DEBT.
creased Their Indebtedness in
the Last Century.

The Matin (Paris) says: In 1901 the
worlds debt amounted to $4,000, 000,-
600; in 1S4S, after the Napoleonic wars.
it was $S,400, 600, 600; in 1901, $31 $780,
100000. 1t increased within the last
century by $2S, so0,0OO,0 900; but where
as during the first part of this century,
Notwithstanding the gigantic wars
which then unsettled part of the world,
it increased but at the ratio of to 1,
the increase during the second part
was at the ratio of 10 to /.
Toward this increase each nation has
contributed with all its power. Only
two nations preserved their cold blood !;
Great Britain, which during the 40
years reduced its debt by $1,000,000,
and the United States, which reduced
it's liabilities by over 81, 400, 100000.
The Austrian debt, which in 1850
was but 5000, 600, reaches al present
ST, roo, 900 900; the debt of Germany has
grown from $4,000, 900 in 1870 to $685.
100000; that of Italy, which in 1869
was 81, 100000 900, is now So, 5S3, 900 O0O;
the debt of Russia, which in 1853 was
$500, 900, 900, exceeded in 1900 $3,oO0,-
100000. France is easily winner in this
contest; her debt, which in 1852 was
little over $1,000, eco, 900, amounts to-
day to about $500, 000,0 900, or almost
six times the amount in the former
year, constituting almost one-fifth of
the total worlds Indebtedness.

He GOT THE HALF-DOLLAR.
A Dog Tale Which illustrates the
Marvellous Intelligence, of Which
Canine Is Capable

One of the best dog stories which
has been told in long time is related
in the Nashville Banner. The narrator
of the anecdote was driving in town
in Mississippi with the onwer. of the
dog. To show the animals cleverness
he got out of the carriage, held his
pocketbook in front of the dogs nose,
and then taking therefrom a haIf-dol-
lar, hid it under large rock. The
men drove on for half-mile, and then
the dog was commanded to fetch the
half-dollar.
The animal, without the least hesita-
ton, started back on a run, and my
friend explained that as the rock was
heavy the dog would be unable to turn
it over, so would have to scratch under
it to reach the piece of money, and it
would naturally take him some time.
1t did, for he had not appeared when
we retired, about ten o'clock.
Early the next morning we heard a
sharp bark at the door. When the
door was opened in rushed the dog,
dragging with him pair of trousers
which he dropped on the floor.
Of course we were mystifed, but the
explanation soon came in the shape
of neighbor who lived several miles
distant. He rode up on a mule, and in
quired if dog with pair of trousers
in his mouth had come into the house.
the porch, and the man exclaimed,
why, there's the dog now"
The caller said that late in the after
noon of the day before he found the
dog scratching under large rock
near the road, and thinking he was
after rabbit, stopped and lifted the
rock up and to his surprise found a
half-dollar underneath. He put the
money in his pocket, and the dog fol-
lowed him home. The dog appeared
friendly, and the man petted him and
gave him his supper.
At night when the family retired the
dog was put out-of-doors, but he kept
up such a racket that no one on the
place could sleep, and when the man
opened the door to drive the animal
away he rushed into the bedroom and
at once became quiet. He lay down
near the foot of the bed and slept there
all night.
Early in the morning, the man said,
he got up and opened the window, and
the instant he did so the dog seized his
trousers and jumping out the window,
fed with them. The man followed as
koon as he could get his mule.
OF course my friend searched the
pockets of the trousers which the dog
had brought, and there found the half
dollar.

monk is always stationed. The monk
is there to halt every traveller that goes

him cup of ale, crust of bread and

someone died and in his will left to the
monastery an endowment that was to
ease the way of weary travellers by
giving them this refreshment and a

its wicket gate and every traveller who
passes will be cheered with a drink, a
