Catching Monkeys.

In the Philippine Islands the ma
tiVes catch monkeys in a funny way.
The monkeys are fond Of the meat OF
cocoanuts, which grow as plentlfully
there as apples do in our country.
They are very lazy, though, about
gnawing through the outer bark, and
will only do so when very hungry.
The natives take advantage Of their
greed and Incidence by cutting a
small opening through the shell, just
large enough for Mr. Monkeys long
thin hand to penetrate. When he
once gets inside he gets his hands full
of delicious, dainty meat, and hi,
hand is naturally wider in this act
than when it entered. Finding his
hand will not come out. be chatters
and scolds and plainly shows his in
dignation at the way be has been
trapped, but never thinks Of loosen.
ing his hold on the cocoanut and with
drawing his hand az easily as he puts
it in. There he stands, An angry
monkey, until the man who set the
cocoanut trap comes and takes him
captive.

War Correspondents.

One Of the finest achievements OF
a war correspondent was that of Holt
White, representative of the New
York Tribune, in the Franco Prussian
war. he witnessed the battle Of Sc
dan from the Prussian headquarters
on Thursday, September l, 1870. At
itI conclusion he rode to Brussels, but
there the pOstOfice authorities refused
to transmit his dispatch to London
and even threatened to arrest him for
saying that the French had been de-
feated He then went on to Calais,
crossed to Dover by special steamer
and took a special train TO London,
where he arrived at 5 o'clock on Sat.
urday morning. Next day there was
a description Of the battle siI columns
long in the Tribune. 1t was not till
Tuesday that the London newspapers
had accounts OF the conflict from their
correspondents.
But the most famous deed of phys
ical endurance in the race for news
between war correspondents was told
of Archibald Forbes. In the Servian
war of 1876 Semlin, the nearest tele-
graph station, was 100 miles distant
from the scene Of battle. So soon as
Forbes knew the result he rode off,
and all night long he kept at a gal
lop, changing horses every fifteen
miles. At Semlin he had one long
drink of beer and then at once sat
down to the task of writing, hour af-
ter hour, against time, the tidings Of
which he was the bearer. After be
had written the story of the battle
and put it on the wires be lay down
in his clothes and slept twenty hours
without waking He had witnessed
the battle which lasted six hours !;
ridden l20 miles, and written and
dispatched telegraphic message four
columns in length to the Daily News,
all in the space of thirty hours.

sin aud replenish the heart with Joy
till it runneth ovsr-this, Of itself, il
to be bound with everlasting chains.
He'll could be nothing worse than to
hear the voice OF the Father saying
II never knew youl'
1t isa provsrb among the French
that Punishment is the recoil OF
crime; :" the strength Of the back stroke
being in proportion to the original I'M
pulse. The duration Of punishment
must therefore be az the duration OF
guilt. But guilt, in its very nature,
is eternal it can only be removed by
changing the structure Of the soul,
which cannot be done except by di-
vine power In regeneration. Once
guilty is always guilty; q thief to-day
is a thief tomorrow and forever. There
is no sIpiatory virtue in suffering.
How then is it" you ask, "thst
human law e1actI limited penalty
Of the criminal and thereafter regards
the Grim. as sIpiated1" The answer
is that human law does not recognize
guilt as such at all that is, guilt as
incurred by violation Of moral law.
It Furnishes only for the protection Of
society, and to this end limited pen.
atty may be sufficient. But God re-
CARDS men not only in their relations
to their fellow men, but as individuals
and takes cognizsnce Of guilt as a vio-
lation Of law. So long as any human
soul is stained with guilt, in this sense,
so long must its punishment go on.
Guilt is the mourning Of a debt to
Justice; Verify, verify, l say unto
thee, thou shalt by no means come out
thence till thou hast paid the utter
most farthing" Matt 5: 26) When
ever that debt is cancelled the soul Is
restored to the favor of God. But
what shall pay it ? Punishment This
has no purifying power; it cannot re-
move guilt, and therefore it cannot
stay the avenging sword. Sin is now
woven into the structure of the soul
and "there is no remedy"
If salvation were offered now, upon
condition Of repentance, is It conc CIV
able that sinful soul could repent in
such circumstances There is more
hope that a planet thrown out Of the
plane ofits orbit and wheeling through
space at random, should return Of it.
self to the proper place in the order
of the universe. The spirits Of the lost
are left to themselves. No rainbow
qpans the abyss.
Eternity" says Bridain', "is a
timepiece whose pendulum speaks in
cessantly, repeating two words only in
the silence of the tomb ever, never /;
ever, neverl What is the hour2 and
the voice of another soul replies,

There have been many terms Of re-
proach and rideculs applied to inter
minabIe and wearisome takers, but
here are two that seem to be particu-
larly pat:
One is the comment Of a politician
on a Washington orator. HE has a
good train of thought, but it lacks
terminal facilities.
The other comes from the village
humorist, who said Of the village ora

The Power OF Forgiveness.

The power Of forgiveness even for
an ofsnse against human law is well
illush sted in the following incident:
4 soldier was about to be brought
before his commanding officer for some
otfsnse. He WAS an old offender, and
bad often been punished. Here he
is again, said the officer, on his name
being mentioned; "fogging, disgrace,
solitary confinement, every thing has
been trisd with him" Whereupop the
Sergeant stepped forward, aud apollo.
gizlng ior the liberty, said: There ls
one thing which has never been done
with him yet, sir.
"What is that" said the officer.
well, sir, said the Sergeant, he
has never been forgiven"
"FOrgiveul' II exclaimed the Colonel,
surprised at the suggestion. he re-
feoted = few minutes, ordered the
culpnt brought in, and asked him
what be had to say TO the charge.
Nothing, sir, was the reply, "on-
ly that ! am sorry for what ] have
done.
Turning kind aud pityIng look on
the man, who expected uo'hlng less
than that his punishment would be
increased with the repetition OF his
offsnse, the Colonel addressed him,
saying:
well, We forgive you.
The soldier was struck dumb with
amszement; tears started TO his eyes
and he wept like a child. He was
humbled TO the dust, and, thanking
the officer, he retred-to be the old
refractory, incorrigible man Mol
from that day forward he was a new
man. He who told the story had
him for years under his eye, and a
better conducted man never wore the
Queens colors.

How to be Happy.

Many of us miss the joys that might
be ours, says Success, by keeping our
eyes fred on those of other people.
No one enjoys bis own opportunities
for happiness while he i, snvious Of
snother's. We loee great deal Of
the JOY Of living by not chesrfully ac-
ceptlng the small pleasures that come
to US every day, instead Of longing
and wishing for what belongs TO 9TH
ers. We do not take any pleasure in
our own modest horse and carriage,
because We long for the automobile or
victoria that some one else owns. The
edge is taken of the enjoyment of our
own little home because we are watch
ing the palatial residence Of our neigh
Dor. We can get no satisfaction out
Of trolley ride into the country or
sail on a river steamer, because some
one else can enjoy the luxury Of his
own carriage or yacht. Life has its
full measures Of happiness for every
one Of US, if We would only make up
our minds to makes the very most Of
every opportunity that comes our way
instead of longing for the things that
come our neighbor's way.

well, you will have 10 admit that
Presdent Roosevelt is a brave man.

Of hi. hand, "ruch talk about San

such talk without recalling story
which Gen. FItz Lee tells on himself.

day or two before certain engage

A Valuable Contrivsncs:

United States Consul Haynes at
Rouen, France, has reported 10 the
State Department that French sea
captain named B'sroger has invented
a contrivance by which the direction
of vessels in a fog may be determined.
His system consists of sort of Morse
pound alphabet given by bells or
whistles pitched in two keys. Each
of the sixteen points in the nautical
compass is given a combinatian Of
sounds. For instance, north is low,
high and low note. All the sign
ais from north to south by way OF the
east begin with deep or coarse whis-
tie or bell, and all those from the
north to south by way Of the west be-
gin with high pitched tone. The
inventor has buit machine for pro-
ducing the proper sounds, but there
is no reason why the idea could not
be adopted by any set of seamen with
sny sort Of bells or whistles.
