Monkey. Earn a Living.

Monkeys are more than pets in some
parts of the world. At Malabar. India,
they are taught to work and have ac-
tually made themselves almost indis-
pcnsable In the homes of the wealthy.
The Malabar monkey Is of the fine spe-
cies known as the langur. 1t Is very
warm I'm Mlalabar. and there Is a fan
called the punka. which used to be
kept In motion by a slave. II required
II slave to work each punka, but now
every punka in Malabar is worked by
monkey. 1t was an English officer
who cOncei, ed the idea of making the
langur work In that manner. The fan
Is movable frame. covered with can
vas and suspended from the ceiling.
The motion Is caused by pulling a
cord. The officer tied the hands of the
langur TO one of the cords and then by
means OF another cord put the ma
chine In motion. or course the mon
keys hand went up and down. and the
animal wondered what kind of game
was being played. Then the officer
patted its head and fed II with candy
till soon the langur thought 1t fine fun
to work the punka. The experiment
was successful. and now thousands Of
monkeys are in harness.

RYDALE'S TONIC
a REAL CURE FoR
MAIAR,1A A

1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria. breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard TO cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine.
Iron, etc.. stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood. but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels. freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. II drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes il rich and healthy.
RYDALES TONIC is a blood
builder. a nerve restorer. and Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap-
point you.

An egotistis man who expects
a woman to marry him for hlm-

If a married man admits he's a

writes this regarding large hailstones:
There was a fall of hailstones in
New Hartford and vicinity, in Litch-
field county, Conn, June 23, 1852, when
several were picked up by well-known
citizens Of the place-one by a clergy
man, Rev. Mr.. Saxton, one by Charles
Nash and one by Frederick Boemck-
and each hailstone weighed one-half
pound and was of size much larger
than those described in recent issue
of the Herald. The writer picked up
one which weighed seven ounces.
There were during this storm other
irregular ice formations which fell
having the appearance of many hail
stones clinging to one another.
There was another fall of hail
stones at Northampton, Mass, about
the year 1872, large in size, which per-
forated a corrugated iron roof on a
new freight depot, making great
many holes in the roof more than an
inch and half in diameter.

"This farmer had made journey OF
some twenty miles on foot to small
town. AS he was about to set off for
home again a hard rain came up, and
his host loaned him an umbrella
a novelty at the time-opening it him
self so as to save his friend all possible
trouble.
"a week later the farmer took the
umbrella back. The weather was
bright and fine, but he held the instru.
