HANGED HIMSELF.

Sad Story nf Simian Love and Itn Traclo Ending. New York Journal: Until last week Franko had been kept in a cage at Glen Island with a number of monkeys, including a female, to whom he was 'lcvotefl. Acording to the standard of her people, she possesses great personal charms. Certainly she held undisputed sway over Franko's heart. Mis best tricks were clone for her. When a crowd of people gathered round his cage and watched his diverting antics, they thought his eole object was to amuse them. They were mistaken, for Franko was trying to entertain the fair one. The two shared every meal together. It was a pretty and touching sight to see Franko and his mate munching the same apple. He would put his left arm affectionately round her neck, and hold the apple to her mouth. She would bite at it, and if she ate nearly all, not a word of complaint came from

Franko's lips. Whatever was left he would accept thankfully. They shared all their meals, joys and sorrows. But a day came when this romance was ruthlessly destroyed by the hand of man. Ignorant of the bonds v.-'nich S-sd these two fond simian hearts together, the keeper put Franko into a cage away 'rom his beloved. At once he showed himself a different monkey. No longer did he 3wing by the tall and make faces at the visitors. He would even 'et a girl with a yellow feather in her hat pass by without attempting to pull it out. He sat in a corner and wept, and would not be consoled. For a day this 6tate of affairs lasted. It was long enough for the keeper to guess the cause of the trouble. "He is pining for his mate," said the man, and it waa decided that Franko should be put back Into hie old cage on the following day.

But this humane design was reached too late. In the morning they went to Franko's cage and there they found him dead and cold. He had hanged himself with a small rope from one of the bars of the cage. Unable to endure life apart from hie former companion, he had suddenly and violently left it.

No one at Glen Island doubte that Franko committed suicide because of his enforced separation from his mate.

She Made It Clear.

They were two little Dutch boys— brothers—in an Episcopal Mission school and their names were Julius and Arthur. The teacher was trying to make them remember the names of the patriarchs, Moses and Aaron. "Now, Julius," she said, "who was the brother of Moses?" "Aaron," he answered. But when she reversed the question and asked: "Who was the brother of Aaron?" he could not, to save his white head and little flat nose, have told. The teacher, In desperation, and remembering that example is better than precept, said:

Well, take the case of yourself and Arthur. Who is your brother?" "Arthur." "And who is the brother of Arthur?"

A flash of intelligence lighted his moony, suburned face and he eagerly 2ried: "Moses!"—New Orleans Times-Dem-ocrat.

Effect of Tea on Dlgeatlon. It has been proved by experiment that tea retards digeetion. An infusion of 1 per cent of tea causes a visible delay 3 per cent infusion will delay the digestion sometimes as much as 12 times the normal period: 10 per cent decoction arrests the digestion of all starchy foods.

An Athlete.

"How ifi it," asked the flippant young person, "that you have no medals when you are so prominent a member of the athletic club9 "Oh," said me elderly gentleman of jporty proclivities, "all I ever did in the way of athletics was to lift the mortgage off the clubhouse."

MSON'S SAMOAN HOME.

Tree Euiboworoil lloutie oil a Large lMuntntlon In Upolu. The ft. Nicholas publishes a number of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Letters to Young Friends." Mr. Lloyd Osbourne, Stevenson's stepson, describes the novelist's Samoan home as follows in the introduction to the letters: Mr. Stevenson knew as little as you do about Samoa and the romote south seas when, several years ago, he came to San Francisco and set sail in a beautiful schooner yacht, hoping the trade wind would blow him to some pleasant isle where he might get well and strong again. The "Shining Ship" (for that was what the natives called her) poked her sharp nose into many a sweet bay and dark blue lagoon and passed from island to island through surf-swept reeds, where the sharks played like minnows beneath her keel, but she came no nearer the haven for which she was in search. At last she reached an island called Oaliu, which was so pleasant to look at and so agreeable to live in that Mr. Stevenson thought his voyage was over. The king of

Oahu was a very agreeable man, too, and wished Mr. Stevenson never to go away, but to stay with him all his life and be his friend. So Mr. Stevenson stayed many months in Oahu and •would have been very happy and contented had it not been for the trade wind, which was always telling him about the fine Islands further on, until he was persuaded to eay good-by to the king and set sail again. The trade wind took him a long road through many queer and dangerous places before he brought him within sight of Upolu in Samoa, and told him to pack up and go ashore, which Mr. Stevenson was very glad to do, for he quite agreed with the trade wind that Upolu was the finest Island in the whole ocean. Here he bought a large tract of land, which he called "Vailima," and built a big house and planted bananas and breadfruit trees and cocoanuts and mangoa and other trees with strange names, in order to feed the brown people who gathered about him and made him the head of their tribe. They called him "Tusitala," or the "Writer of Tales," for his own name was too hard for them to say. In a short time Mr. StoryTeller grew well and strong, just as he hoped he would, and remained grateful all his days to the trade wind for bringing him to Upolu and he always made it a point of speaking kindly about it in his books.

RIVERS

Biam Doomed by Clvlll sntlon to Unl venal Foliation. The sweet poet William Cowper is needed to sing the funeral dirge of English rivers. About 50 years since I had to pass a year in smoky Manchester. In 1800 the river Irwell, flowing through the town, had been a pure, pleasant stream, where flsh abounded, as some old men could well remember. When I was there It was a foul ditch of inky hue and loathsome smell. The legal business which I had in part to attend to in Manchester was- the way In which some of the mill owners used the water of the canal passing through the town, so that my thoughts were epeclaly directed to river and canal pollutions. Years have rolled on since then factories have largely increased In number, more and more of England's beautiful rivers and country scenes have been fouled and blackened, but the worst feature of all has been that the factories have not only used the rivers for the legitimate purposes I referred to, but have made them the outlet of all their filth—streams of muddy refuse. More unhappy still, the thousar.ds of cottages crowded in these large manufacturing towns have needed outlets so sewer drains have been formed, the only outcast for which is the unfortunate river or stream of any kind flowing through or near the town. (Year by year this evil increased, more rivers being doomed to put on the Inky •hue, until whole towns with their 100,000 of lnhabintants thus caused the rivers to be polluted, and, at length, the noblest grandest river of the world, because flowing through the greatest, wealthiest city of the world, yielded its once pure waters and tides to the yoke, end, oh! tell it not to the shades of departed artist-painters, poets, historians or lovers of nature, became one vast cesspool for the €.000,000 Inhabitant* •who dwell near Its course.

A Money Maker in Hard TimesI have for the past five years had a pretty hard struggle to make a living, but about three months ago I began selling self heating flat irons and have made from four to five dollars every day, which I think is pretty good for an inexperiences woman, my brother is now selling irons and makes more than I do but he has sold other things and is more experienced. The iron is self-heating, so it iB the proper heat all the time and you can iron in half the time you commonly do and have the clotheB much nicer, you can iron out under a tree or in any cool place and one cent's worth of Benzoine will do an ordinary ironing, so you save the price of the price of the price of the iron in a few weeks, By addressing W. A. Baird & Co., Station A., Pittsburgh, Pa., you can get full particulars, and I know any one can do splendidly any where. We sell at nearly every house and any woman that irons once with a self heating iron will have one, as it saves so much labor and does so much better work. MRS, M. B.
