The Song of the Skirt.

Sweep, Sweep, Sweep,
With trailing skirt, o maid,
Through the filthy food and slush and mud,
Till thy dress is tattered and frayed.
What matters though men may smile,
And street cleaners stop their work;
When fashions decree says thing must be,
No woman will dare to shirk.
So sweep, sweep, sweep,
Gather microbe and mud and dirt,
For style and ealth beat comfort and health
And that is the song of the skirt.-Ex

RED TAPE OVER MULE TO TALK TO MONKEYS
Prof. Garner Leaves to Continue
Observations.
Il Wen Equipped with Scientific In
strumenss and Is Confident Of sue
o~sHs-LOoka for Untgue and
startling Discoveries.

Prof. R l. Garner. naturalist and
student Of the language OF monkeys,
has sailed from Philadelphia for Liv-
erpoOl. whence be will 60 TO Marseilles
en- route for the west coast Of Africa,
where he will make his headquarters at
Gaboon and Cape Lopez. From these
places he will make his expeditions into
the jungles and continue his observa-
tons OF monkey life, their speech and
habits.
The professor was busy for q week
before sailing. looking after his great
noun OF luggage. He mas more than a
toa Of material for his trip, including
the famous iron cage in which be sits
while making observations. He also
carries with him one of the most COM
plete and delicate phonograph outfits
ever manufactured. These machines
were made under the personal direction
OF Thomas A. Edison, and are provided
with a special lot Of d~iaphragms made
particularly for the use Of Prof. Garner.
They are so sensitive they viii record
the slightest jungle noise, and with them
the naturalist expects to obtain better
results than he has ever attained be-
fore. II is by means OF such mechan-
isms that be has been enabled to COM
pare the various monkey ~articulations
and then formulate them.
Il believe" said the professor on the
Eve Of departure. that this year viii be
by all odds my most successful one, for
never before have I been 90 well
equipped with scientific instruments,
which viii help me in my study. This
year. besides making observations on
the language OF monkeys, l am going
to make aparticular psychological study
81 the animals with reference to their
ability to determine differences between
forms, eOlors, sounds, etc. For these
purposes l have some very delicate in
struments, most Of them invented and
manufactured by myself. Some Of these
work electrically. 80 that no appreciable
amount Of time is lost between the
monkeys perception Of an object and
the recording Of such perception.
II expect my discoveries along these
lines to be unique and startling, for It is
. new subject, one In which there has
been no investigation whatever. After
nearly every stay in the jungle, no mat
ter for how short q time. I have some
thing to add to my book on the subject.
THE greatest fascination about the
work ls that you never know Just when
some important revelation is about to
be made. Even when you feel reason
ably certain about some particular ex-
pertinent to give II any scientific value
It must be repeated again and again. 30
that every possible result can be com
pared with what was learned before.
'The natives. whom I continually en-
counter during my work, are very cour-
teOus and confederate. and DO everything
TO make my stay among them comfort
able. / do not know how long I will
be gone this time. Perhaps several
years. II all depends upon how my
work progresses"

Dead Animal Tangled Up for a Pc
Rod Of Thirteen Months.
This Piece Of Government Property
IL Finally Acknowledged aa Ls-
EaIIy Dead By the war
Department.

A remarkable bit OF circumlocution
has just eome to an end concerning a
government mule formerly employed in
building an iron pier at Lewes. The
mule, which actually died some -
months ago. has now been acknowledged
legally dead by the war department.
The animals public career began In 1871,
when the government bought him. After
ten years Of faithful toll a p~aternal gov
eminent turned him loose on Pea Patch
island, where he was permitted to be-
come a sort Of recluse. In fact. he came
TO be known As the hermit mule" For
ten years, II appears from the record,
he lived this life, browsing In the Pea
Patch. BY that time he had become de-
crepit. The commandant Of Fort Della
ware. which is on Pea Patch island, de-
cided to put the mule out Of HIS misery
and ordered the quartermaster to at
tend to his execution. This was done.
II seemed simple enough, but before
long the United States engineer In charge
Of the Delaware river Improvements
found the mules name or number on a
list Of the property turned over to him
by his predecessor. AS the mule was by
that time only a memory. and not the
engineers memory at that, he did not
wish to be responsible for the creature.
He therefore wrote to the chief Of en-
gineers at Washington for authority to
drop the hermit mule from his list. With
his request he sent the quartermaster's
certificate that the commandant had or
dered the mule TO be shot
The chief engineer forwarded this 70
the ONCE Of the secretary Of waE. Here
an important omission was discovered.
The record showed only that the mule
was ordered to execution, not that he had
been executed. This would level do,
30 the certificate went back to the chief Of
engineers, from him to the engineer at
the Delaware river Improvements, from
him TO the QuartermasteT, who added
this essential line: Accordingly the
mule was shot and buried on Pea Patch
island"
Then It went to the Delaware river en-
gineer, TO the chief Of engineers, to the
secretary Of war. back TO the chief OF en-
gineers. and then for the last time to the
Delaware river engineer. who crossed Oh
the mule from his books. The system
would seem to be devised on the theory
that mules are immortal. Unless the
Smithsonian experts discover q meanl
Of making this theory an actually the
government should be q little less re.
Iuctant to admit that one Of It's four.
footed charges had given up the ghost.
