REMARKABLE MONKEY.

A woman tells of q monkey which
she saw while in Paris, which was SO
we'll trained in good manners that it
was almost impossible to believe that
he did not understand what was said
to him. The Japan Weekly Mail de-
scribes the animals Accomplishments:
. When the woman met the monkey
suddenly on the stairs one day, the
creature stood in the corner to allow
her to pass, and when she said Good
morning!" he took of his cap and
bowed
Are you going away" she asked.
where is your passport" Pulling
of his cap, he took from the crown q
paper, opened it, and showed it to her.
When some one observed that her dress
was dusty, the courteous monkey took
4 brush from the table, and carefully
brushed her dress and then her shoes
When anyone gave him food he al.
ways made low bow before taking it,
and then ate it slowly and daintly.
He had been taught to eat eggs with
q spoon, and to use knife and fork
He could lock and unlock drawer,
thread a needle, uncork a bottle, and
polish his masters shoes. He seemed
to take great pleasure in gay company
and paid close attention to the con-
versation, looking in turn at each
speaker as If he understood what was
said.
This remarkable monkey was never
placed on exhibition. He died at an
early age, of pneumonia.

A Cows Queer Act.

The force of habit was very forcibly
illustrated by an incident recently at
the pumping station of the water
works at Enid, Okla. A tank stand
Just outside the building is kept full OF
water for the accommodation of pas
sersby and the neighborhood stock. A
COW accustomed to drink at this tank
came for her morning drink. The
valley was covered with water and
stood within two or there inches OF
the top Of the tank, but the COW went
over the waste of waters to the tank.
Twice she stuck in the mud and ap-
peared to be in danger of drowning,
but by perseverance she finally reached
the objective point After drinking
long and copiously che turned about
and slowly made her way to land, ap-
parently satisfied that she had done
the only available thing to ind watee.

TRICK WITH MATCHES.
An Amusing Experiment and One
That Never Falls to Create
Lot Of Surprise.

In plate or basin filed with water
place eight matches in the form of q
star, as shown in the accompanying
picture, taking care that only the lower
part of each match shall become wet,
and next prepare magician's wand in
such manner that it will resemble q
short ebony staff with two ivory tips.
A suitable ebony staff can be made by
putting coat of black varnish on a
small tin tube, and as substitutes for
the ivory tips. small cylindrical piece
Of soap and another of sugar must be
used. Seeing these white objects at tho
two ends Of the staff, the audience can
readily be made to believe that they
are ivory tips.
If you want the matches to come to-
gether, all that is necessary Is to dip
the sugar tipped end of the wand In thu

the sugar will at once begin to draw the
water into its pores, and naturally the
matches will crowd together in the
same direction. On the other hand, If
you want the matches to move away
from each other, all that is necessary is
to dip the soap-tipped end of the wand
in the water, for the soap will at once
begin to melt, and the water, thrust
back by the fat which has gathered on
it's surface, will, naturally, break up the
starlike formation and drive the match

TRADE REPORT.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review of trade last week says:
Collections are notably prompt at all
leading centers, bearing testimony to
the strong financial position of the
nations industries at the opening Of
the new year. Distribution of mer.
chandise is heavy and manufacturers
are pressed for prompt delivery Or
ders for spring goods come freely and
in some lines there is more than a
sample business in fall weights. Tardy
deliveries in the past lead purchasers
to anticipate requirements more than
heretofore and orders are being placed
far in advance of actual needs. The
fuel situation is the one seriously dis
turbing element, rendering abnormal
ly high the cost of manufacturing and
restricting the purchasing power OF
almost the entire population. Fortu-
nately this comes at time of excep-
tional prosperity or there would be a
general contraction of consumption in
other lines. There is little Interrupt
ton to work because of labor disputes.
but many operations are interrupted
by the delay in transit of needed ma
