A Train Load of Monkeys.

plague ef monkeys some years age sofely troubled the officials at a small station on the Sarau railway. in north west India. says the Bombay Gazette Truets full of grain for export were often stored up in the station. and the monkeys eame down in large numbers from Il neigilhoriug grove to help them selves te the arala. picking holes in the tarpaullu ruaf If the wagons. The of. deials were Wearied out with keeping watch and soaring away the thieves. who daily grew holder, tn an ingea= lous guard hlt upon n stratasem For several days sweets and fruits were put on the roofs of the wagons. with the result that the whole of the mon. key colony were attracted to the spot and soon became perfectly indifferent to man One morning when they were all busIly feeding an engine was stealthily attached ta the wagons and suddenly the train moved on. The monkeys were quite scared and made no attempt te escape sitting erouehed together til the train had gone several miles and stopped at the jungle. Then they wanted no hint to leave, Every monkey leared down bowling and fled Into the jungle whence none ever re- turned to trouble the railway

There's many man with gray com ing in his hair today who win teli you with all seriousness that he would give almost anything if he could be boy again and have the opportunities for schooling which he once had but did not prize and take advantage of. A sad thing about such regrets is that they seldom come until it Is too late to recsify the loss The right time Co fully prize the educational opportuni- ties is when the boy Is going to school and still has in his hands the saving of whether that wnSeh he gets ous of them will be much or hftie.

THE SKUNK CABBAGE.

Botanists seem agreed that a d.s- tinct purpose is served In natures economy in the foul odor which char acterizes the carrion fungus. or skunk cabbage. The stalk of this variety of fungus is hollow. and on Its top Is borne wrinkled cap perforated In the middle by an opening. The surface of the cap is covered with a slimy green ish- black mass of spores and mucilage. Various hies and hnrying beetles de ceived by this odor. arc attracted to It In the supposition that it Is decay lnx animal matter. Alighting. ther feet become smeared with spores aui mucilagc. which they carry away and distribute. getting nothing for their pains X Brazilian relative of the stinkhorn. besides practicing the de eeits mentioned. has a conspicuous white veil hanging down from the cap, which travellers say Is slightly phos' phorescent at night, which ca auses noc- turnal insects to be drawn to tt.

A headache is natures warning that something k wrong in the physical economy. the pain being the danger signal. hence the taking of any of the so called headache medicines. whose opiate properties kill the pain. do not go to the root of the difficulty at all but merely patch il up. often working more permanent harm than they ac- eomnlish of temporary benefit. The proper course Is to right tue disorder which is responsible for the ache.

POSTAL REGISTRY FEES.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
figures at hand which indicate that the
registration OF letters is costing the
government more than it pays. He
has, therefore, appointed committee
to devise means for making the sys-
tenn self-supporting Either the work
must be more economically done or
else the charge for it must be increas-
ed from the present fee of cents to
perhaps 10 cents.
The Chicago Record Herald in dis
cussing the matter advances the view
that there are some forms of postal
service which the government can
wisely do at loss. The reduction OF
postal rates as rapidly as possible is
justifiable even If the reductions come
somewhat in advance of the increase
of business which will make up for
them. The introduction of rural free
delivery at loss is declared to be
Unsuitable because of the benefits that
accompany it. But the registry serv'
ice, 1t is pointed out, is on somewhat
different basis. 1t Is in a way luxury
in service, and should properly be
charged for at a rate sufficient to GOV
er all expenses. The Record Herald
anticipates that there will be no com
plant if the fee is raised, though, Of
course, any possible economies whicf
would make this unnecessary would be
preferable.

places. The notion that a murderer
relieved OF his body is transplant OF
yirulent influence thereafter is worth
considering. 1t has been said many
times that the poorest use of man
is to kill him and this may be the rea-
son. A less profound reason has been
widely believed-that death penalties
breed morhia IDEAS leading to crime IN
others and do not really prevent crime
because of the universal gamble on
the enforcement of the law. Mrs. Be-
SAINT, aware of what is doing in the
other world, if she knows herself, adds
to this a suggestion worth consider
ing She has certainly strengthened
the argument in favor Of making
something better than quicklime-
eaten corpse of breaker of the sixth
commandment.
