MONKEY PLAYED MANY PARTS.
Defined by Customs Men as a Bird, a
Handbag and a Dog.

On the travels Of a monkey from
Genoa to Heidelberg an amusing farce
might be written. A German gentle
men brought from southwest Africa
a tiny monkey weighing barely a
couple Of pounds. From Tanga to
Genoa all went we'll with the Lilli-
putian animal. 1t was a favorite with
everyone, and travelled free until
Genoa was reached, when it's troubles
began.
Brought under the notice of the Ge-
noese customhouse authorities, 1t was
promptly deprived of its identity It
was no longer an animal; 1t became
a bird, and as a bird, on which %
cents was charged, 1t was conveyed to
the Swiss frontier, where, at a stroke
of the customhouse officers wand it
was transformed into cat at the IN
creased assessment of $1.56, and
borne by train to Zurich.
On its arrival there 1t ceased, as a
cat, to exist, and became mere pack
AEGEAN item of luggage that was con.
veyed to Constance for the nominal
sum of 16 cents.
Still as luggage, though metamor-
phized from package into handbag,
1t went on its way to Stuttgart, where
a great honor awaited it. It was, on
payment of $204, exalted into a dog,
and it was as a dog that it ended its
journey at . the university town Of
Heidelberg.-Stray Stories.

Small colleges versus large" is a
favorite subject with educators. In
this country the question is answer
ing itself In a practical way. The
small colleges are growing larger, and
other small colleges are being start
ed. That many of our colleges are
oyergrown there is no doubt, and
many devices are suggested to divide
them into smaller units. To the gem
eral public, not concerned with the
special problems of educators, the
growth Of the colleges is a matter for
congratulation, says Youths Compan,
ion, for It means that more and more
young Americans are trying to get a
good education.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent
physician, for an obstinate case OF
eczema. / resorted to the Cuticura
Remedies, and was SO we'll pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physI-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cutlcura ONT
ment, and Cutlcura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
tho trouble. We find that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are a valuable house

FISH IN NEW PLACES.
wild DuekS Found to Bear Fish Eggs
Ready to Hatch.

A correspondent from Safi wrote in
sur June issue expressing his mysti-
Rcation as to how small fish come to
be in inclosed waters. A naturalist
suggests an explanation. He says:
IF the wild ducks, ETC., of Morocco
are similar to those elsewhere there Is
no mystery. For some years there
was open-mouthed wonder as to how
perch, Dream and crayfish could get
into newly cut dams near the Mac.
quarie river in New South Wales.
"In some cases the water had hardly
settled after the rain had filled the
dam than the fish were observed, and
the farmers started large theory Of
spontaneous production.
This obtained till a Sydney profes.
SOL cnanced to pick up a wild duck
AMI found its breast feathers and
wdbbed feet well dotted with fertile
and almost Matched fish-ova, on which
the spontaneous production theory
was promptly withdrawn" Cham

First Flower Of Spring.

In the northern United States the
snowdrop is the only garden flower
that we can count on year after year
as the earliest sign of spring. Its
pendulous white blossoms, with
"heart-shaped seal of green" sung by
Rossetti often appear before the last
snow has gone.
Luckily, even city families need not
be without snowdrops, for they have
been known to thrive in narrow pas
sageways between all houses. Most
Dubious plants like the baking hot sun
of midsummer in order to ripen their
bulbs, but thes snowdrop thriVes best
in partial shade.
1t blooms earlier If It has a chance
at the March sun, but is one of the
very few that will flower regularly,
though less freely, in dense shade and
with a northern exposure.-Country
