rom the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
The city of Vienna has purchased the
house In which Franz Schubert was born
and intends to preserve it In its present
condition as long as possible. The price
paid was f4.4OO. The house is one of the
old-fashioned one-story type of buildings
which are fast disappearing from modern
Vienna. The front Is utterly devoid Of
any attractive features. but there Is a lit
tie court behind with wooden galleries
and a garden on the steep hillside.

of the Belgians Is also sovereign of the Congo State, otherwise there is nc connection between the two. In 1888 the king made will by which he be- iqueathed to the Belgians all his sover. elgn rights in the Congo, and the next year It was agreed that the state might be annexed. The king owns a large tract of rubber country, known as the Domain of the Crown. The revenues from 1t have been estimated to be a million and half dollars a year for the last ten years. It has been expect ed that this domain would become the property of Belgium in the event of annexation, but the king has lately formed a stock company to take over the crown domain and exploit 1t for an indefinite period. His right to do thls Is undisputed. As sovereign of the Congo he can do what he wills until the country is annexed to Belgium and comes under the control of constitu- tional parliament. The annexation movement Is not affected In any way by the formation of the new company. The significance of the change lies in the evident determination of the king not to surrender completely his control over the revenues of the rubber fields In the African state. It Is charged that the new company Is a dummy cor poration to take over the title to prop critics now held in the name of the crown. The Belglans expected that these profits would be turned into the public treasury. What effect their dis appointment will have upon their loy- alty to their king remains to be seen, but they have long known that he is as deeply interested In hls financial enterprises as in his kingly duties.

New Life-Restoring Apparatus,

E. c. Hall, writing in the August Tech. nical World Magazine, asserts that Prof George Poe of South Norfolk, Va, Is able to restore life to apparently dead animals his treatment being based upon the we'll known method of forcing oxygen into the lungs. For this purpose he has devised an artificial respirator, modelled in all respects after nature. It embraces two small cylinders, each having an inlet and an outlet, with which plungers work sim ultaneously, and from which tubes are conducted to the nostrils or mouth of the patient. One cylinder is supplied with oxygen, and the outlet of the other dis. charges directly into the atmosphere. The plungers are worked by hand and timed according to normal respiration. Thus In one movement noxious gases from the lungs are drawn into one cylinder, while the next movement forces oxygen from the other cylinder into the lungs. This device has been patented and will soon bs upon the market.

Before putting fruit In glass Jars wash them In soap suds containing d little soda. Then rinse well with scala Ing water, and set In the sun to dry.
 If you want the flavor of the fruit to come out well do not uso an excess of sugar.
 Never use poor fruit for canning. Ths best Is none too good. Let it be as fresh as possible, and not oyerripe.
 Have everything In readiness before you begin operations. The woman who has to run to pantry or kitchen every time a thing is wanted makes herself double the work that's necessary.
 Use the best grade of sugar. It may cost a little more than the ordinary, but 1t will make your fruit enough bet ter to pay the difference In cost.
 Do not stir your fruit when It Ia cook ing. If you want to know how It h coming along, take out piece Of It without disturbing the rest.
 Give 1t a brisk boiling. If allowed to stand and simmer 1t will not retain It's shape we'll. When the cans are ready for sealing see that the covers fit perfectly. Never use one that does not hug down tightly to the shoulder Of the jar.

Friendly Monkeys,

I have read somewhere a statement that the anthropoid apes prefer our company to that of their fellow mon- keys of lower degree, and 1 saw 1t proved once In Calcutta, says a writer in Ornithological and Other Oddities. The late w. Rutledge, for many years the leading animal dealer there, and mine of natural history information, had a young one in his yard, and at my request opened its cage one day to let 1t choose its society, when, quite disregarding the other monkeys, 1t im- mediately came over to him and climbed into his lap.
 A fair-sized female We had at the Calcutta Zoo also was most affec- tionate creature. When I 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 sex showed the less amiable side of its character by long refusing the dona- tions of one member of the society be- cause on one occasion he had first given something to the other monkeys in the same house.
 But think It was on my very first Introduction to the orang that the hid den humanity of the creature most Im- pressed me. This was many years ago, when Abraham Bartlett was at the London Zoo. He gave me private in- terview with little orang which had just arrived. The first thing the little imp did was to climb on my knee, take ofr my hat and put it on its own head, after which 1t proceeded gravely to pinch one of the superintendent's eye lids. In short, 1t examined us with a scientific curiosity, which in lower animal was decidedly impressive. This little man of the woods could not have chosen more striking way of claiming kinshlp 30 often denied.
