DR.. Smiths family say that he works
harder to-day, at the age of eighty

is at his desk punctually at nine o'clock

amount of copy ranging from
weighty political and scientific works
to his impressions on light topics OF
the day for the weekly press. Unlike
most veterans, he does not live in the
past, but takes the keenest interest in
the progress of current affairs.
While he is an admirer of the
United States, he does not insist that
the American government, as it ex-
lists, is the best expression of human
administration. In discussing the
destiny of Canada with the writer re-

to get his dog properly placed than

A n AFFINITY exists between
"A mlllionaires and monkeys.
4 y This is proven by the ever
growing extent to which the
rich American man makes pets of the
bandar-log, as Kipling calls them,
and his willingness to pay the topmost
prices for rare or highly educated
specimens of these irresponsible little
animals.
Small and lively ones, known
among the animal collectors as family
monkeys, are the only kind in de-
mand. These come chiefly from South
America and India. and so sincere is
the interest one millionaire feels in
his five monkeys that he has had
special apartment constructed for
them on board his yacht, that he may
enjoy their company while on cruises
and during his daily trips by water to
and from business.
Another monkey admirer keeps
three at his country place and permits
them to spend the summer days at
large in the trees; and a record-break-
ing deal in monkey flesh was made
not long since when an Albino from
the Indian forests was brought to
New York. He was imported by the
order and at the expense of a wealthy
iron master. Though the exact price
paid for him is not positively known,
there is small doubt entertained but
that he cost his owner a comfortable
number of thousands, for Albino mon
keys are as rare, and almost as revered
through the East, as blond elephants.
In the days when Carthage cut a
large figure in the financial world, her
inhabitants were sure that white mon
keys enjoyed special influence with
the high gods, and they were wor-
shipped as sacred apes But the
American owner of the tailless Albino
cherishes no such illusions concerning
his dust-cOlOred pet He imported
this curiosity to play with, not to
worship, and he contracted his hard
attack of the monkey craze from
merely watching the amusing didoes
