No FIeas on MONKEYS.

Perhaps the most surprising infor-
nation gathered with respect to fleas
is that monkeys have no fieas. This Is
m assertion that Is commonly received
with establishment and incredulity.
but. says Howard Russell, the fore
most authority ON 1eas. healthy wild
monkeys are much too clean and ac-
tive to hnrbor fieas, and when they are
seen searching one another's fur In a
fashion familiar to all of US II Is only
to clear their skin OF any particles OF
scurf and dirt.
1t may be mentioned. too, that only
one instance is on record where flea
was found on reptile. This was on a
brown snake which was captured near
Perth. In West Australia. and which
was probably derived from some small
mammal devoured by the snake. The
flea was firmly fixed between the scaly
plates Of the reptile.
The history OF the flea would seem
TO go back many centuries. but the
only fossil remains Of flea that have
so far been found is a single insect In
a bit of Baltic amber. The flea Is ad-
mirably preserved by Its semi-transpar-
emit surroundings.

JouRNE YlNGS.

We are journeying on through the weari-
some heat
To a land that Is fair as a dream.
Where the fiuttering snowfiakes will fall
at our feet
While the icicles glisten and CLEAN:
To the land where the shadows bring 81
lence and sleep
BY the river all frozen and still:
30 a song We'll sing and our courage
well keep
And we'll journey along with a will
And when we have come to the wonderful
place.
We will look through the window and
see
The pictures OF silver the frost loves to
trace
With a touch so fantastic and free.
The ferns Haunting fine and the flowers
so fair
VIII bid us regretfuily sigh
And we'll thankfully take up the journey
from there
To return to the summertime sky.

 A mother and nine children are de- pendent upon the county of town of 400 persons. The father is dead. Miners consumption ended his life a few weeks ago. The mother and nine children are but one example of a number of such cases now dependent upon this town and county.
 "There should be some provision made for caring for these cases" " Colonel Cousins said today: 'T am not sure what disposition can be made of these cases. The Salvation Army will send an investigator to go over the situation.
 "We shall probably find it possible to make some of these helpless per sons producers. The children must be taken care of in homes. If there are any women in this case who are brok- en in health and spirit they must be sent to some of our institutions.
