Neat Animals

NJ. Henri coupn. a well-known French
naturalist, draws attention to the fact that
animals as a rule are wonderfully neat and
far excel human beings in this respect Ii

TO learn the virtues of neatness and cleanli-
ness, whereas animals have apparently al
ways possessed them. At any rate they
We're certainly the first to use soap, sponges
and tooth brushes
From time immemorial,' he continues,
animals have cleansed themselves, using
their tongues as brushes, their saliva as
soap, their tails as towels and busters and
their claws as combs. Moreover. many OF
them take cold hath whenever they have
an opportunity indeed the apes go ms far as
to boycott those among them who do not
take proper cure of their bodies
Another singular fact about the apes is
that those among them who have handsome
boards never plunge them recklessly into
river or pond. but delcately sprinkle them
with water. Button had chimpanzee who
always rinsed his mouth after drinking, and

he had inherited from his master, Carlyle,
yet he visited the statesman's family at
Hawarden because he had great regard for
his daughters, and 1t was not long before
Gladstone's remarkable personality SO cap
tiyated him that he expressed sincere regret
for certain harsh statements which he had
formerly published In regard to him.
The story goes that when the letter ad-
dressed TO st. Cecilia was banded by the
postman to the butler at Hawarden he was
ut first unwilling TO receive 1t, as he did not
think that 1t could be intended for one OF the
family.

Underground Token.

One Of the rarest of American copper
coins is the underground railway token.
Three years ago one was dug up In a garden
In Indiana, and 1t was supposed to be the
only one In existence, but two others are
owned by descendants of the Quakers who
were Conductors on the underground
railway" for runaway slaves before the Civil
War.
The copper token Is about the size of
two-cent piece and of about the same thick
ness: the rim Is unmille6 and circling inside
of It on the face are the words United
States of America; on the reverse side Is
the figure Of n kneeling woman, shackled.
The figure Is symbolical of the appeals the

Facts About Giants.

That very few Of the giants who have
ever lived have been healthy or well-formed
recent researches prove beyond a doubt All
we know about Goliath is that he was very
tall, but in the Second Book of Kings we
read about another giant, who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being, and,
according to modern scientists, this is inya-
riably a token Of degeneracy. Marcel DON
nal saw at Milan giant who was 90 tall
that his body filled two beds at night, but
whose legs were so weak that he could hard
~ stand upright. William Evans, the 81
gnntic porter Of Charles l., had little
strength and Cromwells porter, another
giant ended his days In lunatic asylum.
Finally, O'Brien, the Irish giant, has been
described as ian enormous sick child who
grew up too fast"

Hair Signs.

In Japan the women arrange their hair IN
manner so ingenious that person can tell
at once whether any woman whom he sees
is maiden who desires to get married or a
widow who IL inconsolable or one who is
willing to be consoed If the proper sutton
presents himself.
Young girls arrange the hair in front In
the form of a fan or butterfly and adorn 1t
With silver or coiored ornaments: widows
who are looking for second husbands fasten
the hair at the back OF the head by means
Of tortoiseshell pins. and widows who are
resolved TO remain forever faithful TO their
departed sponses cut the hair short and wear
no ornament In 1t.

of its body are certain things which would
surely puzzle any one who had studied the
anatomy Of a dog. Among theme are a
pivoted trigger, yoke-shaped bar and a
spring The bar is connected with the trig
ger and the spring Is attached to the bar
In such manner as to control the latter
when released from the trigger. Moreover,
the tall of the animal is plvoted and the
legs are connected with the bar, so that.

The F1NANcER, the leading
financial paper of the United
States, has just published
its 18TH roll of honor of
the national banks of this coun-

oilers we're found guilty in U. S.
court at Fargo last week. In the
course of the trial it developed
that Miller, the ring leader of the
outfit, had operated in several of
the western states during the past
ten years and that North Dakota
farmers had contributed to him
and his pals upwards of 100000 in
about two years. Miller and his
two assistants spent thousands
upon thousands of dollars in an
attempt to get clear of the charg-
es made against them, but they
were dealing with Uncle Sam, and
their ill-gotton money did not
suffice. The Hankinson Co., it
will be remembered, operated one
