who once bought a jug of whisky, and

In order that the jug might be

happily ramGed forth, leaving the jug

fearful Monkey.

There is a species of very small
monkey found in the Brazilian forests
which is remarkable for its gentle
ness and delicate elegance Of its ap-
pearance and its almost human con-
duct. Bounding from branch to branch
or from tree to tree, it has every ap-
pearance of a bird. When hanging
from a tree asleep 1t looks like a black
doll. Its dark soft eyes are very large,
it's coat is like black velvet trimmed
with satin and dotted with gray beads.

What Is Taste,

On the whole, it appears to me that
what is called taste, in its most gen
eral acceptation. is not simple idea,
but is partly made up of perception
of the primary pleasure Of the imagi-
nation, and of the conclusions OF the
reasoning faculty, concerning the va
rious relations of these, and concern
ing the human passions, manners and
actions. All this is requisite to form
taste. and the ground work OF all
these is the same in the human mind;
for as the senses are great originals
Of all our ideas, and consequently OF
all our pleasures, if they are not I'M
certain and arbitrary, the whole
groundwork OF taste is common to all,
and therefore there is a sufficient rea-
soning on these matters.-Edmund
Burke.

ERADICATION OF QUAcK GRASS
e,s,y Infested Field Should Be Plo"eo
From Five to Eight inenes Soon

NV ANDREW ROSS. Minnesota Expert
ment Station
Where a field is badly infested with
ouack grass it should be plowed from
Eve to eight inches deep as soon as
the hay or grain crop is removed. All
nortions of the grass must be turned
under. Within a few days the pillow
should be followed by a disk harrow
with the disks set straight at the frst
time over to avoid turning any OF the
sod. The disking should be repeated
once or twice a week for six or eight
weeks and occasionally after that IN
