of knowledge of the little proprieties
that govern that fine sport. For those

suggestions which will be added to as

Aesop's ape, it will be remembered,
wept on passing through a human
graveyard, overcome with sorrow for
it's dead ancestors, and thatall monkeys
are willing enough to be more like us
than they are they show by their
mimicry.
An old authority tells that the
easiest way to capture pes is for the
hunter to pretend to shave himself,

London Times says. If the Chinese
story is to be believed, the initiative
craze Is even more fatal in another
way, for if you shoot n monkey OF
a band with a poisoned arrow, Its
neighbor, jealous of so unusual a dec
grafton, will snatch the arrows from
it and stab itself, only to have it torn
away by a third, until in succession
the whole troop have committed sui
eide.
In their wild life balloons, as well
as the langurs and many other
monkeys, undoubtedly submit to the
authority Of recognized leaders. There
is cooperation between them to the ex
tent that when fighting in company one
will go to the help of another which
is hard pressed.
In rocky ground they roll down
stones upon their enemies and when
making a raid, as On an orchard which
they believe to be guarded, the at

From the fact that the sentries stay
posted throughout the raid, getting
for themselves no share of the plumber

be some sort of division of the pro

differentiated from all other creatures
as being a tool using animal, but more
than one kind of monkey takes a stone

The following kinds of income are

Dorothy had taken the photograph

They Ever Grew.
The W~onderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated By
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the ~well-known
scotsman of Floral Park, n. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country, Thousands of people say 1t
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs. the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom.friend OF
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agri-
cultural Experiment Station says ii

In the short eason of Northwestern
Canada it is a godsend, and fruits long
after frost has killed most garden

D.. S. Hill, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
it yields $3.50 worth Of fruit per acre
with him. Mrs. J. H.. Powers, 4732
Kenwood venue Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4X10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
j. p. Swallow. Kenton, Ohio, says Its
equal for all purposes does not exist,
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis. Enon, Va. says 1t is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry Is sim

Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 1875 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden. New
Mexico, says it stands long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
a%bundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

Harvey McMurry, an old man aged
81 years, arrived in Columbia, Thurs
day night from Missouri, and this
morning sought the aid Of Confed'

the soldiers home at Nashville.
The old gentleman enlisted as a
volunteer in Maury county and stated
that he was member Of Capt. Kinzer's
company. The Confereate veterans
here rallied at once to the help o: the
old man, and established communica-
ton with Capt. Kinzer and learned
that the old veteran had good rec
ord. Communication will also be had
OF others Of the company, and he will
be assisted to reach the home.
The unfortunate old man Is very
deaf and It Is difficult matter to
make hi understand, and he is also
almost blind. He has good appear

the sympathy and compassion of those
acquainted with his story. He aays
