HOW GORILLAS FIGHT.
They Depend Entirely Upon Their
Teeth and Never Make Use of
Sticks or Clubs.

1.-THE prevailing belief that gorillas,
chimpanzees or orang-outangs, as they
are variously called, use clubs when
they attack each other or their enemies
is an entirely erroneous one,'' said the
naturalist to group Of interested
listeners. "They do nothing of the
sort, and how such an impression ever
came to exist, or how old-time African
explorers ever came to formulate such
theory, is beyond my comprehension
During the long sojourn in that coun-
try I had ample opportunities to learn
the truth about them, and what dis
covered there was subsequently con-
f1rmed during prOtracted hunting trip
in Borneo. The fact is that in fight
ing each other, Or in attacking or de-
Tending themselves from other enemies,
they depend entirely upon their teeth,
which are abnormally strong and
sharp, and cut like razor, making
wound as smooth and clean as the
scalpel of surgeon. They are clumsy
on their feet, but the enormous
strength of their powerful arms more
than makes up for this deficiency. In
fighting they almost invariably attack
the faces or the limbs of their adVer-
saries, grasping their opponents with
their hands and drawing them close
enough to sink their teeth in their
flesh. In the case of human beings or
other members Of the monkey tribe,
the gorillas favorite point of attack
is the hand, and especially the finger.
Catching them by the wrist, the crea-
ture, with almost irresistible power,
draws the hand within reach of his
fangs, and in the twinkling OF an eye
off come one or more fingers. This
mode of warfare is very effective one
among the orang-outangs themselves,
for, with fingers and toes gone, the
animal is not only out of the fight, but
is powerless to climb trees, to protect
himself or to provide himself with
food, and soon succumbs to starvation
or falls an easy victim to some other
auimal"-N. 7. Tribune.

Easily Calculated.

Az Irishman was filing barrels with
water from a small river to supply
a village which was not provided with
waterworks. AS he halted to give his
horses a rest a gentleman rode up
.sHow long have you been hauling
water, my good man?''
''Tin years or more, sor.
.'Ah! And how many loads do you
make day."
''From tin to fifteen, according to
the weather, sor."
"Wel, Pat said the gentleman,
laughing, chow much water have you
hauled altogether?'
The Jrishman jerked his thumb in
the direction Of the river, at the same
time giving his horse the hint to
start, and replied:
.'All the wather that yez don't see
there now, sor."-Chums.

CHAPTER XIV.

The trial of Herbert made great
stir. He was young, good-looking and
intelligent, and possessed that telling
requisite of the firSt-claSS murderer
he was a member of one of the best
families in the state. For several
weeks the case had been lost sight of,
and now that it was actually set for
trial for the first Monday in Febru-
airy, it became again the sensation of
the day. The general impression was
that if Herbert frankly admitted kill
ing his unnatural parent, the jury's
verdict would have been-to quote the
irreverent language of Frank Hills
man: "Well done, good and faithful
servant; go and kill him some more
The popular sympathy was with
him, though the popular judgment
considered him guilty. Curiosity sent
hundreds of people, among them q
number of ladies, to the court house
to witness the trial.
Those who were present made u
mental picture of the scene with de
tails like these: That the face of the
judge was ominously severe and

hunter, and he saw no reason why
he should stand aghast before pile
of gold if in other WAYS he could
dare aspire to the love of woman
like Miriam. Her gold would be the
least thing to make her seem inacces-
sible to him.
But how would the radical change
in her life and the adulation incident
to her wealth affect her? Now she
was all womanliness. There was a
sweet timidity about her, a half-star-
tied air, frankness without artifice
and a sentient beauty that rendered
any description of her colorless. I'm
spoiled by contact with money-get-
ting, place-hunting society, Miriam
was the lovely token of something
which Warde only dreamed.
But the test? How would she come
out of the furnace fed by the asso-
ciated passions of humanity? Would
she remain steadfast to herself, or
would she alter with alteration?
There would be uncouth lips to tell
her that she was beautiful. The ra-

about one would cling to her. The
sensuous arts would environ her and
assail the, simplicity which was now
her charm. Fashion would spread for
her it's subtlest wiles, and mammon
would write sonnets to her deep gray
eyes.
These thoughts few through his
mind while Miriam was gone, but
when she returned she almost tempt
ed him to lay aside his Judgment with
his doubts, she was 50 frankly happy
in his presence. 1t cost him Il great
eXertion of will not to put his for
tune to the test then and there, but
he conquered the inclination and went
away with his secret unspoken.

HOW IT GREW STRONG.
Ely Trials This SapIing Became -
Mighty Tree, Sturdy and Truly
Magnificent.

A young tree, fair and shape]y, as yes
had no rough experiences. 1t had daily
been kissed by the sun, caressed by the
zephyrs and nourished by gentle rains.
To it life seemed fair indeed. But one
day things assumed a different aspect
The sun was hidden; the clouds became
black and threatening, vOicing their
wrath in rolling thunder; and the little
tree felt itself IL the grasp of a rough
wind that bent and twisted its branches
and tugged at it until 1t seemed as it it
would tear it up by the roots. When it
was about to give up, the wind released
it's hold, apparently exhausted, and the
young tree felt relieved. But the wind
was merely giving it a respite, and soon
came at it again with more fury than
before. Again and again this happened.
and when the wind finally retired, the
tree found some of it's fairest branches
broken, it's roots loosened in the soil,
and its body bruised and aching from
the topmost twig to the lowest rootlet.
1t took some time for the young tree
to recover from this assault. The sore
fbers swelled with the strain that had
been put upon them, and the roots dug
deeper into the loosened soil that they
might send up the increase OF nourish-
ment to build up the breaks and allay
the Inflammation. For days the little
tree groaned even when a zephyr played
with it's leaves. But by degrees the sore
ness passed away, and the little tree
found, as the result of its trial, that its
girth had sensibly increased, and 1t
seemed to itself to be stronger and more
full of vigor. It. indeed, dreaded
another such experience, and when It
came it suffered again, though not quite
so much, and the period of misery after
it was shortened, while 1t was conscious
of a still greater access of life and
strength, and greater grip OF the
ground And so it continued getting
stronger and stronger after each strug-
gle with the wind until it came to like
nothing better than to wrestle with it.
It grew to be mighty tree so sturdy
that it defied even the hurricanes.
What pity it would have been for
that tree to have had no rough usage!-

A RALLADE OF MEMORY.

/ see them in each bright spring morn
When idling in my garden fair;
While dewdrops still lie on the lawn,
And pale narcissi scent the air.
Some feathered songster breathes a
prayer,
Sunshine and shadow come and go:
How glad life is! Yet / declare
Thourt sweetest in the firelightS glow!
/ see thee in the mellow corn,
Now bright with many poppy's flare;
I watch the frolic-loving fawn
Peep forth from out its shady lair.
The world is bright and debonair,
The wild bees honey-laden grow:
STis wondrous, dear! and Yet I swear
Thou'rt sweetest in the firelght's glow!
/ see thee in land forlorn,
BY wild and wintry blast laid bare;
Now gray and desolate the dawn,
And wan the garb the hedgerows wear
mid binding snow, in mute despair,
The cherries herd drifts to and fro
How drear! and yet [ hardly care:
Thou'rt sweetest in the firelight's glow!
ENVOI
Yea, though I see thee everywhere,
And hear thy accents softly flow
AT neighbour, when / draw my chair,
Thou'rt sweetest in the firelight's glow!

Electricity in Bathrooms.

The using of electric light in bath
rooms, either public or private, so it is
asserted by an English engineer, is dan
gerous in many cases. Writing to the
government Gazette he says that "tbe
electric-light switches most usually en-
ployed have brass covers and brass
knobs, and it is quite possible that this
metal work may be in unsupported con-
tact with the electric supply wires. In
such case person standing on dry
wooden floor, and using the switch,
would not notice any defect, but anyone

with bare feet on a wet or metallic floor,
and attempting to turn on the light.

would probably prove fatal even at the
comparatively low pressure Of 220 volts.

It is reported from Lisbon, the capital
of the kingdom of Portugal, that the

the United States next year. A short
time ago a squadron of American war
ships, commanded by Admiral Cotton,

made such a fine impression upon the
king and the people of ancient Portugal
that the hope is freely expressed that the
two countries may be drawn together
