MONKEYS LOVE FOR YOUNG
Lives to Their Babies and Fond
ness Knows No Bounds.

Monkeys are born in almost as help
less condition as are human beings.
For the first fortnight after birth they
pass their time in being nursed, in
sleeping and in looking about them.
During the whole of this time the care
and attention of the mother are most
exemplary. The slightest sound or
movement excites her immediate no.
tice. and. with her baby In her arms.
she skillfully evades any approaching
danger by the most adrolt maneuvers.
At the end of the first fortnight the
little one begins to get about by itself.
but always under its mothers watch
full care. She frequently attempts to
teach it to do for itself. but never for
gets her sollcitude for It's safety. and
at the earliest intimation of danger
seizes II in her arms and seeks n place
of refuge. When about six weeks old
the bnhe begins 10 need more substan-
tial nourishment than milk and Is
taught to provide for itself. The moth
er's fondness for her offspring con-
tinues; she devotes all her time 20 its
comfort and education. and. should 1t
meet with an uatimely end. her grief
Is SO intense as frequently TO cause her
OWN death.

Ancient EnqIiah Tree.

There grows In the beautiful garden
of the dowager counties OF Derby, in
England. an ancient oak tree which Is
Raid to be the oldest one In England.
The size of the trunk of this vener-
able oak testlfies to Its antiquity, but
On stone seat by Its side is more d.
rect evidence. The seat bears q tablet
recording that Wilberforce wrote in
his diary in 17sS that he well reinem-
oered. after conversation with Pitt.
and before descending int the Vale of
Keston. sitting at the foot of ''an old
ree' and resolving TO give notice In
the house of commons that he would
move the abolition of the slave trade.
The tree in question, which was
therefore, q good age $50 years ago. IS
carefully preserved with zinc plates
Ehere the damp might gather. and the
Branches are held up with Iron bars,
but 1t bears goodly crop of leaves,
Ind seems good for many years of life.

The first newspaper published in
Indianapolis was the indianapolis Ca

later for few years the capital OF
Ohio. lie lenrned the printers trade
there and moved To indianapolis Il
year after the capital was located
there. In Il reminiscent address many
years later he said:
"The Gazette was established In a
buckeye log cabin of but one room,
part Of which was occupied for fam
lily residence. 1t was printed on new
type. The ink was put on with balls
made of dressed deer skin stuffed with

The Taetful Writer.

When writing to those away from
home or distant relatives or friends
see to ii that your letter fairly sparlSIes
with cheer and good nows. Bring a
smile TO the readers lips and make
him or her long to be with you to
share the happy joys you tell about.
These are the kind Of letters that
go straight to the hearts of those who
receive them. The vnst majority OF
us have n full measure Of cares and re-
sponsibllities TO contend with, but
every one Of us can often think hap
by thought or speak good word and
we should in all fairness pass 1t on
Exchange.

HEALTH FOUND IN GARDEN
PRECIPITATION That Results Carries
Away Noxious Elements, and
Strength and vi9or Are Certain.

To the man who woos her earnestly
nature offers store of unexpected
riffs. Our thousands of amateur gar
fleners who have put in the leisure
hours In their little garden patches
have begun TO realize that one of the
biggest rewards of their kbors may
not be the actual produce they VIII
nbtain, valuable as that may be, but
In the less tangible results on their
OWN bodily and spiritual welfare.
There Is health in the son Of Mother
Earth. The Precipitation that results
from your labors is carrying away noI-
tous elements from your blood.
Strength and vgor come from contact
with the soil. In this klnship to the
earth is found one reason TINT nearly
all of our greatest men have been
country-bred boys. II Is why farmer
boys Of today are stronger and more
able than youths reared In cities. Do
not be afraid If your hand acquires a
few callouses or brownish tint. A
well-tanned hand Is more fitting sub
ject for pride than n soft. white. use
less hand. You may meet with some
failures from not knowing the how and
why of things, but there is JOY which
cannot fall.
The miracle OF planting a seed and
seeing the growth. though a common
thing. contains joy and food for the
heart. Gardening not only brings nour-
ishment for the body and food for the
mind. but 1t expands the soul.--aiIl-

BREAD AND POTATOES
GERMAN FOOD STAPLES

AMSTERDAM, Dec. speaking
il the Prussian Lower House today
on food conditions, Herr Won Waldow,
president of the German Food Regu-
lation Board said;
Considerable supplies Of grain for
making bread have been provided by
early threshing. The Imperial gov
eminent bureau has already received
100000 tons, as compared with $780,,
eco tons last year. The potato croD
may be regarded as satisfactory al
most as a good one and We count
upon having 34,50O,00O tons. Distri-
button will be carried out much more
efficiently than in recent years. The
same quantity of sugar as formerly
can be delivered
We shall still have to bear many
restrictions. but we have adequate
food supplies for the new year"
Herr Won Waldow said that bread
and potatoes would form the basis of
the food supply
