Lincoln g Permit to Veteran,

at Erie, Pa, was among those who
joined in the chorus, "Wc are coming

ington and was assigned to the Sec
ond District of Solumbia regiment.
Mr.. Park was then, as now veg
etarian. While he could assimilate
everything connected with his, an
swer to the call Of duty from the
standpoint of patriotism, he could not
assimilate the army pork. 1t was
plain that if the government wished
to do the square thing by Mr.. Park
it would have to show broad-minded-
ness in the matter of rations.
So he took his trouble to President
Lincoln, and explained that in some
respects he was like the children of
Isreal after they set out from Egypt.
He could not forget the leeks and
onions with which he was wont to
regale himself back in Indiana coun-

to hear complaints of railroads, tele-

made up of State Houe officials hav-

on the 18th to make final disposition
of the assessments on this class of

want to agree on final figures until
the State board Of equalization had
agreed upon basis for taxation for
other classes of property, the idea
being to get all classes on the same

Simple Spelling.
New York Times.

NC" 1 OIk L lucS.
Edward b. Shallow, acting superin-
tendent of the New York public
schools, when asked yesterday his
opinion as to the value of simplified
spelling in the public schools, said:
"In number of quarters it has
been urged that if the board of edu-
cation permits the use of simplified
spelling in the public schools, the city
will at once be put to the expense
Of purchasing al entirely new set Of
textbooks. This fear is entirely
without foundation.
"In the first place there is no in
tention on the part of the school Of
ficials to require the use Of the 800
shorter words. These shorter forms
are merely to be recommended and
their use permitted on the part of
those teachers who believe that short
er spelling will save for the chill
dren.
"In the second place, the last of
words so far recommended contains
so few new forms which are not al
ready in the textbook that it would
be quixotic at present for the publish
ers to reprint their books in new form
just on this account.
"In the third place. textbooks do
not last forever. Every three or four
years the average textbook used by
the children must be rcplaccl. If the
teachers favor shorter spelling, and
there is demand for books with the
new forms in them, doubtless the
publishers will meet the demands by
preparing their texts in the new form.
"Our present system Of spelling, as
DR.. William Y. Harris says, wastes
nearly two years needed by the pu-
pills for other subjects. If two years
Of the cost of educating child can
be saved for his parents, and at the

ed in teaching spelling. But do moi
understand that the 300 words alone
will do this. They will not. They
are not the beginning. But it certainly
is worth while to make an entirely
harmless preliminary experiment

the greatest educational economies re,

Still Talking to the Monkeys

New York Press.
That Professor Gardner is still in
sistcnt in his belief that animals con-
verse with each other was learned
today when his son, Harry f.. Gard
ncr, received letter from the pro-
fcssur. who is buried in the jungles
of Africa. Garner has been laughed
at ever since he biult a cage and talk
ed with or pretended to talk with
monkeys in the African forests.
So far as the professor went at
that time-which was ten years ago
his imitation Of the monkey Ian
guage consisted of Kisses and
"cheeps. - He tried it on the simians
in Central Park, and there is no doubt
that he made them climb trees in
their amazement. Whether they un-
derstood him they did not say.
In order to develop his theory that
monkeys talk like human beings, the
professor has built house about $50
miles inland from the port of Fer
nan Wax, Of the French Congo. EIe is
the only white man within many
miles of the spot. He is great fa-
voritc with the natives, who call him
"God of the Cum" IN the letter just
received the professor writes inter-
cstingly Of his life in the jungle.

girl monkey that I ever saw,' he

shielded from the wind by thin sheets
Of horn. Lantern making was an
important industry in Paris.
Noblemen and rich merchants took
to having luxious little travelling
equipments made for them, and among
these were travelling candle-sticks and
wash basins in fine enameled work,
the secret of which is now lost.
The custom of having servants car
ry flambeaux at festivals also became
general about this time, and strange
and tragic incident is connected with
this fashion. At a ball given by
Charles VI. the torches carried by
some careless servants came too near
the headdresses of certain persons
dressed as savages and set them on
fire. The unfortunate guests were
burned to death, and the king, at the
sight, lost his reason, madness which
had serious effect on the history of
France.
Magic lanterns were invented in
the time Of King Francis I. A device
on n somewhat similar plan was used
as a sign before shop doors to attract
custom.
Lamps fell into disfavor at the be-
ginning Of the seventeenth century
and were only used by the poor and
in passages and stables where the
smoke could cvaporate and great
deal of light was needed. Candles
had then reached their perfection
and candlcsticks their most exquisite
form. A candlcstick of crystal, Civ
en- by Louis XIV. to La Valliere, is
still in existence, and it was at this
time, also, that the crystal pendants
came into fashion.
Street illumination was not serious
ly attempted in Paris until about the
middle Of the seventeenth century. In
The first years Of that notable century
the streets Of Paris were dark. The
rich were escorted by lackeys bearing
torches, the middle class folks picked
their way, lantern in hand, while the
poor slid along, feeling their way by
the walls. In his cdict Of September,
1867, the king provided that candles
enclosed in a cage Of glass should be
hung by cords at the height Of the
first story Of the house, three lanterns
for every street, one at each end and
one in the middle. At the sound of a
bell, struck by Waterman, they wc,c
lighted.
Paris was, however, considerably
in advance of other cities of the
world at this time. In London link
boys stood about in the public places
calling out in lugubrious tones: "Gen-
tlemen, light!'
The origin Of the phrase "holdmg
candle to you' is somewhat doubt
ful, but some authorities trace it to
The fact that as the small light stand
had not yet been devised any one
who desired to read in bed had to
have servant stand beside him to
hold the candle. One cannot imag-
inc that reading in bed under these
circumstances would be very enjoy
able, certainly not to one who has
been ustomcd to solitude and a
gas Jet easily turned on or off, hut
there is everything in habit.
