NEW SPECIES OF MONKEYS
Strange Race Discovered in Island of
Java Thought to Be LongLooked-
For Missing Link

Prof. Van Sickle of Amsterdam, who
for some months has been making geo.
logical charts of the northern part Of
Java, cables the Academy of Sciences
in this city that he feels certain that
he has discovered the long-looked-for
missing link. He does not claim the
honor of the discovery himself, but says
that some weeks ago he was informed
by Dutch merchant, Van Beuren, that
he had discovered a new species of mon
keys in dense forest in which he had
lost his way.
The professor started out to look into
the discovery of the merchant, and while
watching for the animals to appear he
heard peculiar half human voice. Look
ing up, he saw an enormous nest and
two, ape-lil4e animals looking down upon
him.
The natives of that part of the island
have long known the presence of these
apes, which they call Ash Petrizi.
Unlike any other apes, they battle fire.

had one time cherished dreams of
becoming trained nurse myself; hence
Miss Newell, after her avowal, assumed
new interest for me. With youthful
indiscretion 1 proceeded to do just what
she had been avoiding-to lead her mind
back to her work. She, filed with the
love of her calling, easily fell into my
snare. Quite unconscious of her late
resolutions, she was soon pouring forth
many of her experiences into my will
ing ears.
After awhile, as memories began to
throng, she paused for several mo-
ments, and her face saddened.
"My dear child" she finally con-
tinued, eff you should ever become a
nurse, it is the soul suffering you will
be confronted with that will remain
with you longest. After a time one
grows somewhat deadened to physical
sufferings; and then there is always
something one can do in such cases.

had charge of the nurses on the first
hospital ship that was sent out to Cuba.
You remember how, at that time, it was
a fad of the society girls to go out as
nurses to the soldier boys On our ship
we had a wealthy young lady, Miss
c.. of New York, acting as nurse.
She was a gloriously beautiful woman
with queenly way of doing things even
if it were but dropping the medicine.
"You read, of course, about the great
number of poor fellows brought aboard
our ships the day of the battle of San
Juan. All! but we were busy that day.
Late in the afternoon young soldier
was brought to the ship with a bullet
through his left side. He was great.

hair and delicate features. l saw at
once that he had no chance We dressed
his wound and made him as comfortable
as possible, but he sank into a coma,
from which he never aroused.
"The beautiful New York girl told you

When she came in where 1 was standing
by the cot of the dying man, she sudden
ly grew deathly white. reeled and fell
on her knees beside him with a pitiful
cry. She kissed his hands, calling out:
Harold. Harold!' She seemed crazed;
and while she was agonizing over him
he died"
Miss Newell closed her story abruptly,
with sad little drop in her voice at the
last words, and neither of us broke the
silence for space. She was back amidst
the scene Of her busy life, and was med
itating on the strange coincidence by

following method of polishing horns:
Make the horns smooth and even with
coarse file or rasp, and then take fine

much); then polish with the palm of the
hand. Don't be afraid to bear on and
rub quick. Boiling water will not take
the polish off. They will take any color
wanted by boiling them in some kind OF
dyes.

Horses as Flat DwelIers.

Flat life for horses is not so very
new in New York Ground space is SO
valuable in that city that, like many
other buildings, stables have for some
time been built upward in many sto-
ries. with stalls for the horses on
floors above the ground. There are
now thousands of horses in Gotham
that can be said to live in flats. Stables
of six stories are not considered re-
markable. In many of these fats
horses are stalled Oh three floors.
Each of these stables has an elevator
big and strong enough to carry
to the upper floors any vehicle.
The equines are hoisted to their Sleep
ing apartments by these same elvators.
The horses like it. They stand steady
on the platforms and never cause any
trouble.

Miss Newell suffered from an asth-

when the paroxysm was over, suggested
to her an old-time remedy.

CARE OF THE FARM HORSE.

No man with horse sense will ever

In nearly all cases a district that is
noted for it's good horses is noted for
its prosperity.
High calks on horses shoes have a
tendency to cause contracted heels and
quarter cracks.
Worms in horses not only irritate the
intestines, but rob the animals of the
nutriment in the food.
No branch of the live stock business
pays better when properly handled
than does horse raising.

The man who has first-class horses
on his farm has something that he

In giving horses run in pasture for
rest and recuperation it is grave mis-
take to take all the grain away from
them. The change is too sudden and al
ways works harm.
Keep the horse stables or stalls
cleaned out during this kind of weather.

DlsPosINo OF DEAD HOGS.
It Means Much to the Farmer and to
the Community of Which He
Is Member.

1.-THE proper disposal of dead hogs
means great deal to the farmer and
also to the community il which he
lives. He should consider it his duty
to keep his surroundings as free from
infectious diseases as possible" writes
Mr.. j. B. Ashby in Kimball's Dairy
Farmer. His stables should be thor
oughly ventilated and should receive an
application of whitewash once or twice
a year, to which has been added little
carbolic acid.
IF an animal becomes sick it should
receive proper attention, and if the dis
ease is new to the owner, he should
quarantine the animal until it is well.
II one of his hogs dies he should dis
pose of the body in such way that no
trouble will come from ii. Too often
this is not done. While many men
would not harm their neighbors if they
knew it, they will often drag the body
of dead hog into some gully or out-of-
the-way place and leave it to decay.
The place looks to them remote and
they do not think of the harm that may
come.
'In case the hog died of some con-
Iagious disease the germs of this dis
ease are at first, of course, very numer-
Gus in the body. They are easily trans
ferred from the body to anything that
comes in contact with it. In this way
dogs and wild animals, such as vermin
and snakes, come in contact with the
body and then carry the germs to neigh
boring farms One can readily see how
dangerous this is to the community.
''The practice of burying diseased an
imals is generally resorted to and is a
very good method, although there is
still some danger, especially if the body
is not put down deep enough. 1t is
best always to burn the body, thus elm
mating nearly all possible chances of
further danger. There should be GER
tain requirements Of state laws apply
ing to the treatment of dead bodies of
diseased animals"

The fancy for simplicity is shown in
the craze for the princess robe. This
fashion will never become common, for
it is difficult of imitation, and is not
a generally becoming mode.
On the other hand, in direct contrast
to this simplicity, we see a predomi-
nance of gold and silver embroideries,
jeweled trimmings, rare laces, edgings
of fur and beautiful MORE antiques
which would not have disgraced the
court gowns of our grandmothers.
Neither have we forsaken the east
ern styles and the kimona is as popu-
lar as the Josephine redingote But
fancy that lurking deep in the minds
of the great fashion authorities there
is an inclination for ultra simplicity
in spite of the beautiful trimming and
fabrics at their disposal. There bids
fair to be return to the Puritanical
era, though it will not be to denote
our disapproval of beautiful and sump-
tuous garments, but our desire for
change and certain coquetry and chic
which dominate French clothes.

length of the coat. You really may
adopt any form of coat you like, from
the very shortest bolero to a paletot

in the fashion in whichever shape you
appear.
While the tailors and dressmakers
are discussing modes, their clients wish
to be buying, so what will happen l
do not KNOW, especially to the English
and American women over here just
now, where one craze seems to be to get
the very dernier cri. I fear they will
have many disappointment. The Par
isian mondaine knows better; she
knows what suits her and she makes
up her mind to have it, taking little
bit of fashion from each period, and
suiting them all to herself. Even the
heads of the leading ateliers are AFRAID
to dictate to such client.

now it has become much more uni
versal accomplishment in some form
or other.
Many house frocks have been made
of flannel with square sailor collars of
tucked muslin or lawn and a high col
lar and vest to match. The fashion
of wearing light French cambria near
the face is always pretty one. The
blouses cut in sailor fashion are gen
orally pouched over prettily arranged
band, and the sleeves are small, and
very often muslin frills over the hand.
These frills also appear on the cuffs
of the Directoire coat.
A good many lace blouses will be
worn later on under the cloth and fur
coats These are indispensable for res

Cayenne pepper doesn't come from

from Burgundy. Jerusalem artichokes
do not come from Jerusalem, nor tur-

brushes are made from the tail of the
squirrel. German silver is not silver,
and it was invented in China. Cork
legs are not made of cork; neither do
they come from Cork, Ireland. Prus-
sian blue does not come from Prussia.

cause She Hesitated to Consult Her
Observation-Disclosures of a Re-
marknble Case.
The natural reluctance which every
woman feels to consult "a physician re-
garding troubles peculiar to her sex
caused Mrs. O.Weber, of No. 1856 South
Front street, Columbus, Ohio, to let her
illness run ON until it became chronic,
and even the excellent doctor whom she
employed could give her no relief that
was permanent. She gives the follow
ing details of an interesting case:
st felt the trouble long time before
I went to our doctor, perhaps year or
more. When did consult him he told me
/ had female trouble. felt sharp pains
through my stomach and could not walk
across the room without suffering ag-
onies which 1 cannot describe. My head
ached so that it fairly thumped and at
times it seemed that would go crazy.
Ny stomach became so weak that it
would retain only the hghtest food.
Week after week took the Doctors
medicine, but continued to feel worse
and worse. On several occasions was
confined to my bed for week at time.
Ny weight decreased to 102 pounds and
I seemed 81 confirmed invalid.
"Cne day I read of case similar to
mine that had been cured by DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and,
although did not have much confidence,
I began taking the pills, having already
discontinued my doctors treatment.
While was taking the second box be-
gan to feel little better and the inn
provement continued until I was cured,
In few months had recovered my
health and strength and weighed 1879
pounds. I owe everything to DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills"
No discovery of modern times has
proved such blessing to women as DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Acting directly on the blood and nerves,
invigorating the body, regulating the
functions, they restore the strength and
health in the exhausted patient when
every effort of the physician proves I'M
availing. These pills are sold i'll boxes at
30 cents a box, or six boxes for $3.50, and
may be had from all druggists, or direct
