MONKEYS.

low Feeling for Us.
1 have read somewhere a statement
that the anthropoid apes prefer u
company to that of their fellow monk
eys Of lower degree, and I saw it
proved once in Calcutta. The late w.
Rutledge, for many years the leading
animal dealer there and a mine of nat
ural history information, had a young
one in his yard, and at my request
opened its cage n day to let it
choose it's society, when, quite disre-
garding the other monkeys, it immedi-
ately came over to him and climbed
into his lap.
A fair sized female we had at the
Calcutta Zoo, also was a most affec-
tomato creature. When l paid a visit
to her she would always put her arm
affectionately around my neck and
while being caressed and played with
would drop any food offered by other
visitors. Another specimen of the
same sexs showed the less amiable side
Of its character by long refusing the
donations of n member of the socie-
ty because on n occasion he had
first given something to the other
monkeys in the same house.
But l think it was on my very first
Introduction to the orang that the hid
den humanity Of the creature most i'm
pressed me. This was many years ago
when Abraham Bartlett was at the
London Zoo; he gave me a private in
terview with a little orang which had
Just arrived. The first thing the lit
tie imp did vas to climb on my knee,
take off my hat and put it on it's own
head, after which it proceeded gravely
to pinch one of the superintendent
eyellds. In fact it examined us with
a scientific curiosity which in a lower
animal was decidedly impressive. This
little mar of the woods could not have
chosen a more striking way of claim
ing kinship so often denied.

ORIGIN OF CHINESE LILIES.
Story a. Told and How the Bulbs
Brouuh Good Luck.

Very few people who see and admire
the beautiful Chinese lilies know the
reason why this particular flower is
held in such favor in the orient. This
is the story of the origin as told by a
Chinaman:
Years and years ago n member Of
the Celestial empire had two wives
whom he loved dearly because each
had borne him a son.. While they
were still lads the father died and in
settling up the estate some difficulty
was encountered, for the man left his
heirs two pieces Of land, n a strip
lying in a fertile and beautiful valley,
the other, a small ribbon of land Dor
dering the bed of a narrow stream.
The former land was known to grow
anything the country produced, while
the latter was counted utterly worth
less.
1t was first proposed that each of the
two strips be divided in half and a
section of each be given to the two
heirs, but the mothers could not agree
upon the division and it was finally
agreed that one son should take the
rich land, while the other should take
the sterile piece.
The valley strip yielded bountiful
harvests season after season and the
rocky one gave nothing until one day
the boy owner happened to notice a
tiny white, sweet-scented flower
blooming among the rocks and after a
careful study and examination it was
found to be the only one of it's kind
in China. The flower grew from a
bulb, and the boy discovered that
these bulbs could be transplanted to
similar rocky soil without destroying
their growth.
Soon the bulbs were in great de-
mand, and when it was learned that
the flowers brought good luck to the
owner of the plant the boy had all he
could do to supply the market. From
the sale of the bulbs he grew enor.

sPoILS OF AUSTRIAN COURT.
How They Are Divided Among the At
tendant sUpon ROYALTY,

Court etiquette in Austria is more
stringent than in other European
courts.
The attendants come in for large
perquisites, as comestible articles are
never allowed to appear twice on the
royal tables. 1t must be a good thing
to be one Of these attendants, as to one
man falls all the uncorked bottles, to
another the wine left in the glasses,
and the game, fish, and sweets are
equally divided in the same way.
Each morning a market is held in
the basement of the palace, where the
Viennese come to purchase the re-
mains of the banquet.
This custom Is a revival of one that
obtained great favor in the Middle
Ages. Then the great lords of the land
were not above accepting the remains
of a feast and the lord chancellor was
entitled to the ends of large candle
and forty small ones each day.
He in his turn made capital Of this
p%erquisite and undoubtedly his ex.
chequer was greatly increased by it at
the end of the year.

REWARD FOR HER CHARITY.
The Gift Of a Spanish Girl Who Had
No Money.

h Gift Of a Spanish Girl Who Had
No Money.
Upon a Spanish highway, where all
the pretty girls and handsome youths
were returning arm in arm from tho
corrida, a youthful mendicant with a
ragged cloak thrown around him, was
praying for aims, vowing that no food
had passed his lips for two whole
days.
Notwithstanding the firmness of his
tanned skin, which could be seen
peeping out through the rents and
tears Of his ragged clothes, one felt at
a glance that he was no impostor. The
halfstarved look in his eyes and his
sunken cheek betokened the want OF
nourishment.
The crowd, however, paid but little
attention to him and passed him by,
singing Spanish lovesongs amidst
hearty plaudits and peals of laughter.
Would they all leave the poor boy to
die or starvation on the road?
From out all the through only three
young girls stopped and gazed upon
him. They were fresh to look upon,
plump rosy-cheeked and not more
than twenty years Of age. They
paused, and gradually their laughter
gave place to looks of pity. The ED
est girl gave one real. Than you"
he said. The next girl gave him a
p~iecette; God will reward you," said
he.
The third, the youngest, who was
also the prettiest Of the three, had
neither real nor piecette. For a mo-
ment she stood undecided then, stand
ing on tip toe, she gave him q soft
little kiss on the lips. The poor far
mished lad said nothing, but, seeing
a bower vendor passing, he gave to
him all the money he had just begged
for a large bunch Of tea roses. and.
with tears in his eyes, silently handed
them to the younger girl.

one Of the figures would suddenly
| glow out into color and absolute dis
t%inctness. Then it would fade away
into mist.
There was q "click" and the circle
Of light vanished; another, and the
vast laboratory glowed out into being
as Sir William turned on 4 hundred
electric bulbs.
Mr.. Guest was sitting upon a long,
low table. swinging his legs. His
great pink face was blotched and
stained by excess and his hand shook
like an aspen leaf. He jerked his
head toward the opposite wall upon
which the huge screen vas stretched
ar enormous expanse Of white ma
terial upon rollers of hollow steel.
"Rathbone's getting about DONE" he
said. Il give him another month be-
fore his brain goes or he pegs out alto
gether. Look at those results just
now! All foggy and uncertain. He's
losing the power of concentrating his
thoughts. Continuous thinking's get
ting beyond him."
Sir William was sitting in an arm
chair; by the side of it was a circular
table with a %vulcanite top, covered
with switch handles and controlling
mechanism. His long, thin fingers
played with a little brass button, and
his face was set In lines of deep and
gloomy thought. His eyes were fixed
and %brooding, and somberness seemed
to surround him like an atmosphere.
He showed no signs Of having heard
his assistant for a moment OF two;
then he turned his face suddenly to-
ward him.
my friend" he said, you yourself
will not last another month II you go
on as you are going. That is quite
certain. You ought to know 1t as
we'll as I do. Another attack of de-
lirium, and nothing can save you"
Mr.. Guest smiled horribly. very
possibly, William" he said. II have
thought that it may be SO myself.
But why should l care? I'm not like
you. l have no human interests.
Nothing matters to me except my
work"
And IL you die In delirium tremens
you won't be able to go on with your
work."
my dear William, there is nothing
left for me to do. In this new
discovery Of ours yours has been the
master hand; l quite admit that. But
you could not have done without me.
I know, as you know, that there is no
one else in Europe except myself who
could have helped you to bring the toll
of years to such a glorious conclusion.
Well, there is the end of It. I am
nearly fifty years old. There is no
time to start again, to begin on some
thing new. Life will no be long
enough. I have used up all my powers
in the long-continued thought-spec-
trum experiments. I have 10 more
energy for new things. I rest upon
my l~aurels, content that have done
what l have, and content from the
purely scientific point of view. I've full
filled my destiny. My mind is not
like the minds of other men l meet. 1t
is not quite human. It's a purely
scientific mind: a piece of experiment

work"
He laughed-a laugh which was so
mirthless and cold that even Gouldes-
brough %shuddered at the soulless. mel
ancholy sound. Then he got down
from the table and shambled ove the
floor Of the laboratory toward a cup
board. He took a bottle of whisky
from a shelf, half-flled a tumbler with
the spirit, and lifted 1t toward his
chief in bitter mockery.

Of course we do not mean to convey the idea that the farmer will not want many things.

The Hay business is equally amazing, any way you look you can see from 1 to a dozen .Hay wagons. This is a continual thing from July till July. There is from 1900 to 100 car loads of hay shipped from Hazen each year and at a good price too. ranging from s to S1100 per ton. The creamery products range from $40. .OO0 to S60,0o0 per year, and hundredsof of Veal Cattle and Hogs.

In litts over three years the Southern farmer has by orga- nization and cooperation with the business interests succeeded in wrenching himself loose from the grasp of the speculator, and if present policies are continued will in short time be able to dictate the price of his products the same as other business in terests dictate theirs.
