Gardening as a "Cure."
From Amateur Gardening.

Few of us know that far better cure
for all our health troubles than any Of the
patent medicines which are SO constantly
recommended lies at our doors in more
senses than one-i e., the garden cure.
This idea is at last breaking through the
crust of centuries and emerging to the
light; so that garden cities, lady garden
ers, horticulture and agriculture and va
rious other signs OF coming sanity, anna
teur gardening being one OF the most con-
spicuous, are all on the increase. All we
have to do IL to open our doors and live
in our gardens.

A Human Monkey,

From the Chicago Chronicle.
On complaint OF number of citizens an
Italian organ grinder was arrested In
Richmond. Va. because OF carrying a
human monkey" around with him. The
so-ealied monkey was a man, who had
been the victim of an accident, having
been caught In some machinery. resulting
in twisted limbs, a crooked neck and all
together a grotesque resemblance to a
monkey. His injuries healed, leaving him
In this unfortunate shape. The italian re-
sisted arrest, saying that the man belonged
to him, having made a bargain resign1ng
his liberty in return for support, and that
he proposed to exhibit him as long as he
chose.
He was taken to the police station by
force, but was subsequently released on
his promise to leave town, taking his hui
man monkey with him.
