The Red HcwIine Monkey.

The red hcwler (Mycetes seniculus)
is a rare monkey of the forests of
tropical America. 1t Is an extremely
delicate animal, and is closely remark
able for the extraordinary noises it
makes. The cries it utters comprise
almost any sound from a subdued
moan to an angry roar, and it is hard
ly conceivable that they should pro-
coed from single animal This is
the animal called red monkey by Wa.
terton in "Wanderings in South
America" where an admirable de-
scription of its weird cries may be
read. These sounds are produced in
a bony cavity formed by an enlarge
ment of the hyoid, or tongue bone.
In appearance the red bowler is an
elegant little creature, well clothed
with hair of reddish brown color.
Like the spider monkeys, it is pro-
vlded with a long, prehensile tail, the
under surface of which is naked to.

monkeys in having well developed

THAT is the limit "Of all absurd

as she would like to look, entered with

followed by a young man of about
twenty-five. AS soon as they were
seated and the bear placed in va

its fuzzy head. Doesn't he behave

man fixed his eyes on a menu card.

FASHION NOTES.


Hairdressng favors those with few
locks, for it is an undisputed fact
that women of this generation have
no hair.
A trim shoe of patent kid with soft
calf upper. tied at the outer side of
the foot with broad bow, is one of
the present fads in smart footwear.
The veil is draped now to suit the
face of the wearer, and not accord
ing to fixed rules for mourning. as in
the old days.
There are many women who halt az
the fad for serpepts in jewelry, pre-
ferring butterflies and birds to the
gruesome reptiles.
Kid, in the shape Of buckles and
buttons, finds a place among the
smart trimming OF fur garments.
A host Of little jackets are coming
from smart shops, myriads of half.
fitting little coats, professions OF
plays on Louis XIV. and XVI shapes,
&C., ad hbitum.
The pompadour for the moment is
the reverse OF neavy In erect. Not
nearly so much hair is employed, and
1t is made to stand high on the fore
head.
The main part of the girdle is Of
silk, wide at the back and plated il
to narrower space toward the front
to stitch into the leather half that is
furnished with eyelits and buckle.
Trimmings of lace work or of en-
broidered ribbons are used with the
caracul for dressy purposes.

THE MISSING LINK.

Tavy deplores the disappearance OF
the good old-fashioned custom Of a
lover or husband offering his arm to
his fiancee or wife when they take
walks abroad. During my recent tour
in Germany" he says. Il met hund'
reds of couples thus promenading arm
in arm; and many time I wished
that amoung the countless things
made in Germany this sweet Old
World custom could be imported into

IF NOT ENGAGED.

Don't be aggressive about it, and in
sist that you never yet met man
you would dream of marrying. Even
If this is true, your vigorous asser-
tons will leave the opposite impress
sion on the minds Of your hearers.
Don't, on the other hand, magnify
some childish sweetheartening into an

COLD FEET.

These indicate poor circulation.
The very best thing to do is to warm
them by exercise, if that be practic
able; if not, by dipping them in hot
and cold water, alternately, two or
three times, and then using vigorous
friction. If that does not warm them
and keep them warm, heat them be
fore the fire. drying them thoroughly,
and then correct your habits or inn
prove your health, for be sure that
one or the other is wrong, perhaps
both.-Woman's Life.

CHILDREN OF PURPOSEFUL WO
MEN,

A brilliant young woman was re-
Gently talking of two of the older
women of her relationship, whom she
greatly admired. They had both aim
ed at the education of their children
and had succeeded in their aim, send
ing forth from their homes men and
women of a high type. They had &C.
complised their end by much seif-den-
NAL and hardship. says Mothers Mag
azine. She said of these relatives:
"They both had a purpose, and never
lost sight of it. They carried out their
purpose. The trouble with me, l think,
is that l have no purpose. They want
ed the right things and they went al
ter them and got them do not want
the right things, though want to
want them. suppose I do not want
them hard enough. Grandmother and
aunt wanted the right things hard,
and they got them What most OF US
need is more purpose" She is
a good woman as well as a bright
one; is a fine mother and wife, and
possibly her Judgment of herself was
a little harsh. Surrounded by lux
uries, she does not have the same
incentive to effort in the same dfrec-
ton as her relatives, who had to
make struggle for the education of
their children.

woMAN's ACTIVITIES.

A German woman is about to lead
o scientific expedition to Java in
search of the missing link" A New
York woman has invented an aero
plane, the first ever devised by her
sex. Women are conquering the
mountain peaks of Central and South
America and penetrating into the
frozen north-to what lengths are
they not going? What field of mas
culine endeavor have they left unex'
plored?
They are conducting anti-noise cru
sades and staying the ravages of van
dial hands on scenic landmarks. The
leader of the present anti-rent revolt
on the east side is a schoolgirl. Where
but in twentieth-century America
could a woman burglar, heroine OF
one hundred robberies, be developed?
Women are now teaching at the
conservative Sorbonne in Paris and
winning the prizes of scholarship IN
open competition at Berlin. In Paris
again, following the Lead of Mile
Chauvin, they have broken down the
last BARRIERS against their admission
to the bar, two woman candidates
having recently been allowed to take
the oath as advocates. Here twenty
seven women have been admitted TO
practice before the Federal Supreme
Court. In England their employment
in the national docl1yards OF private
firms has attracted attention. A d.
rector of the Elswich works has pub
licly testified to their superior excel
lence in draughting. In laboratory ex-
periments and in meteorological IN
vestigation women have found con-
genial occupation.
BY contrast with the activities OF
the new woman there is the sorrow
full romance of the aged woman re-
cluse who died in Third avenue
back room alone and apparently des-
titute, yet with trunks filled with
silks and laces about her and $l7,OoO
in bank. The emotional nature OF
the sex is revealed in the offer of an
annuity to the ''robber of Kopenick"
after his release from prison by
rich woman Of Berlin
Only yesterday, as time goes, the
pioneers were blazing trail for the
sex and here it is almost in full pos
session of the field, with only few
corners left to mans exclusive use.
1t is a record which does not cease
to amaze.-New York World.

WIVES HELP THEIR HUSBANDS

A woman blessed with the faculty
of saying or doing the right thing at
the right minute is bound to be a
help to her husband. The woman who
can make herself indispensable to
her husband as his social mentor and
co-entertainer has many pleasures
which her less tactful sisters miss.
Everyone recognizes as bore the wo
man who is forever quoting the clever
sayings of her husband and dwelling
at length upon his good points, his
success in business, &C., but the wife
who knows when to drop hint that
counts is really worth while. says

An excellent lesson in finance
is set by the experience
of the government with the
silver peso. coined for use in the
Philippine Islands. When first coined
its face and bullion value we're fifty
cents, but silver has increased In
value, and the peso is worth fifty-six
cents to-day as silver bullion. Con
sequently spectators in the islands
are sending the coins TO Hongkong
to be melted. making profit of twelve
per cent. on the transaction. The ap-
preaching disappearance of the coin
from circulation illustrates what econ.
omists know as Gresham's law. Sir
Thomas Gresham first called the at
tention of Queen Elizabeth to the fact
that a superior kind Of currency has
a tendency to disappear as soon as an
inferior kind which win do the same
work is introduced, or when the bull
hon value of the coin Is more than
its face value. To keep the peso In
circulation the government Is consid'
ering a reduction OF its weight.

Still LARGE

have shot and killed Michael Karich,
fellow countryman, is still at large.
The sheriff and his men are hunting
high and low for him, and telegraph

AS yet no tangible reason is given
for the murder of Karich. The men
had a quarrel two months ago, and
Karich. who was beaten up pretty
badly. had his assailant arrested.
Bukovoic then threatened to get even
with him, but nobody dreamed that
he meant murder.
