Monkeys Fondneso for Sweets.

The Manchester Guardian tells Of
chimpanzee that died recently nfter
spending the eight years of his life de-
flying all the rules laid down for the
wellbeing of chimpanzees.
His name was Antony, and he vas
the only one of his tribe of monkeys
who has ever managed to stand an
English climate unmitigated by arti-
fetal heat. He came from the Congo In
1911. when he was very young and
small. At that time he weighed four
teen pounds; by last summer he was
lust six times as heavy.
He was owped by DR.. Butter of
Cannock. During the whole period Of
his civilized life he was kept in a
brick building facing southwest and
unheated. and he slept in straw With
out blankets. He had an exercising
pen containing swings and perches,
which he made earnest and often sue
cessful efforts not to break. Chocolates
and sweets-poison to ordinary Chin
panzees-were the special treats in
Antony's dietary, and he had . less
comprehensive fancy for locust beans

LIKE REAL ORIENTAL RUGS
British Factory Said to Be Turning
Out Perfect limitations of Rare
Eastern Products.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in London over the showing
Of new type of imitation oriental
carpet by Harrod's, Ltd, according
to Fl. G. Brock, United States trade
commissioner at the English capital.
"The carpets" he writes in a con-
sular report, "are claimed to be ex-
act reproductions Of rare Eastern
carpets and are being offered at
prices not much higher than those
Of ordinary loom productions. The
most remarkable feature about them
is considered to be the true render
ing Of that Eastern luster which has
hitherto defed successful copying.
Some of the most notable reproduc-
tions are those of the seventeenth
century coronation carpets which
were made for the shah of Persia; /;
the Khorassan rug, and the famous
carpet manufactured for the Sheik
Ismail, the original Of which hangs
in the Victoria and Albert museum
Of London; and there are copies OF
others from the cathedrals and art
