A PERSEVERING MONKEY. Profr»nr Garner’* Story of Nelli* and the Matchbox. Monkeys are always happy if they have plenty to eat and something to play with. Professor K. L. Garner, in his "Apes and Monkeys,” says that ae recalls no investment which ever yielded a greater return in pleasure than » certain little pocket match saf". which eost 25 cents. He gave it to a little monkey, Nellie by name, after putting into it a small key to make it rattle and some bits of candy. She rattled the box and found much pleasure In the noise. I showed her how to press the spring in order to open the box, but her little black tinkers were not strong enough to release the spring. However, she caught the idea and knew that the spring was the secret which held the box closed. When she found that she could not open it with her fingers, she tried It with her teeth, tailing in this, she turned to the wall, and, standing upright on the top of her cage, she took the box in both hands and struck the spring against the wall until the lid flew open. She was perfectly delighted at the result, and for the hundredth time at least 1 closed the box for her to open it again. The next time Nellie received the match safe she was in her cage, and through its meshes she could not reach the wall. She had nothing against which to strike the spring to force it open. After looking around and striking the box several times against the wires of the cage, she discovered a block of M '°od about six Inches square. She took this and mounted her perch. Bal•Wing the block on the perch, she held it with the loft foot, while with the ri?ht foot she clung to the perch. With “or tail wound around the meshes of the eage to sternly herself, she carefllU.v adjusted the matchbox In such a banner as to protect her fingers from the blow. Then she struck the spring against the block of wood, and the lid aew open. She fairly screamed with delight as •“« held up the box. came in to be hanged. a »tory Told Os Abel F.rnamn*. the Boer, uml Lord Wolseley. A go<»d story Is told <>f the old Boer. "**“l Erasmus, and Lord Wolseley, hou sir Garuet Wolseley, In connecuh with the part Erasmus took In olseley’s campaign In 1879 against "suktini, the chief of the Bapedls, on ’he borders of Swaziland. After the of Sekukunl he was Inimedl■'ly Brought before Sir Garnet W<dsewho asked him how he, a mlseraKaffir, I’vlug In a eave, dared to ohi . ,lle queen of England. I’he ii'f replied that he bad been instla ed to do so by Abel Erasmus. ‘ r Garuet In describing the scene at

a public dinner given to him at Pretoria on his return from the campaign I said that he wished there and then to let Abel Erasmus know that if ever he found that Erasmus had been inciting any chief to levy war against England and be was able to lay hands on him Abel Erasmus would hang as high as Haman. A few days after the dinner Sir Hen- ! ry Braekenbury. Sir Garnet's military | secretary, was sitting in his office I when a tall, bearded Boer entered and asked permission to speak with him. “I am Abel Erasmus," he said, "and I have very important business to do here.” He explained that he bad come to see Sir Garnet Wolseley, for he had I heard that Sir Garnet had said that if be could lay hold of him he would hang him. and so he had come to be hanged. Sir Garnet was in the next room, and Sir Henry Braekenbury thought it would be advisable to consult him on the subject. Sir Garnet, however, happened to be too busy at the moment to see anybody, and Sir Henry after reflection persuaded his angry visitor to take his leave and allow the banging to stand over for the time. An Aldermanlc Bull. Some time ago a follower of one of | the city aidermen cast covetous glances u[x>n a desirable newsstand under the ■ elevated railroad stairs. Straight he ; went to his friend, the alderman, and made known bls wishes, which were that the news dealer should be evicted from the locality. "All right, me boy; leave it to me,” said the city father and began to pull wires. Finally lie got an order directing the newsdealer to show cause why I he should not get out, but that obstinate Individual still remained. Then he drew up a formal complaint, which was duly laid before one of the Judges. The complaint, after telling how the newsdealer had been ordered to leave and had not done so. concludes: “And now we have to complain, your honor, that not only is this same stand still there, but the defendant lias replaced it by a bigger one."—New Found the Ilon.e, The late Sir Frederick Gore-Ouseley, professor of music at Oxford, was once going to call on a friend in London and asked n fellow musician the number in which lie lived in a certain street. “I don't know his number,” answered the other, "but the note of his doot scraper Is C sharp.” Sir Frederick went off, contentedly kicking the door scrapers all down thf street until he came to the right one, when he rung the bell and went in.— London Standard.

SPANISH RELATIONS Trade With Our Recent Adversary Restored to Its Wonted Proportions. WAR LEFT NO COMMERCIAL SCARS Trade Relations Between the United States and Spain Seem to Have Been Fully Restored—Some Interesting Figures Bearing On the Present Commercial Status. Washington, June 4.—Commercial relations between Spain and the United States seem to have been fully restored, and it is not improbable that our exports to that country in the fiscal year 1901 will be greater, with possibly a single exception, than in any preceding year. Exports from the United States to Spain in the nine months ending witli March. 19111. were vnliilM at $11,879,349 against $10,081,920 in the corresponding mouths of last year and $7,091,043 in the corresponding period of the fiscal year 1899. The figures for the year up to this time indicate that the total exports from the United States to Spain in the fiscal year 1901 will be about $16,000,000, while in 1891 the exports to Spain were $14,019,335. in 1880 $14,058,884, and in 1883. the one year in which the $15,000,000 line was exceeded, $16,931,287. Ou the import side the figures of the present fiscal year are largely in excess of those of 1899, though slightly less than those of 1900, which were the largest since 1891. The annual imports from Spain into the United States since 1891 have ranged from $3,500,900 to $6,000,000, averaging about $4,500,000 while for the present fiscal year they seem likely to exceed $5,000,090. lu the fiscal year 1899. which felt the full effect of the war between the two countries, the exports from the United States to Spain were $9,077,807: in 1900 they rose to $13.399.680, and in the present fiscal year will closely approximate $16,000,000. Breadstuff's, cotton, oils and wood manufactures are the principal articles which we export to Spain, raw cotton being by far the largest iu volume. Fruits, nuts and wines are at present the principal articles imported from Spain, though, going back to 1890 and 1891. our importations of iron ore amounted to nearly $1,900,000 per annum. In 1890 iron ore imports amuuted to $645,279.

Coroner's Singular Verdict. St. Louis. May 31.—The head of a man wrapped in an old coat was found near Edgemont Park. East St. Louis, Ills., yesterday. Some empty envelopes found inside the coat were addressed to F. It. Williams, New York city. The coroner held an inquest over the head and a verdict of suicide was returned. A search of the ground near where the head was discovered brought to light an old rusty razor. About lUO yards from the spot where the head lay. a headless body was found last April. It was never identified. MARKET QUOTATIONS Prevailing Prices For Grain. Provisions and Livestock on June 3. Indianapolis Grain and Livestock. Wheat—Wagon, 74c; No. 2 red, tlrrn, 74c.

The Torture cf a Flax Shirt. The most trying ordeal that Booker T. Washington was forced to endure as a slave boy was the wearing of a flax shirt. In his autobiography, "Up From Slavery,” lie says: "In the portion of Virginia whore I lived it was common to use flax as part of the clothing for slaves. That part of the flax from which our clothing was made was largely the refuse, which of course was tho cheapest and roughest part. I can scarcely imagine any torture except perhaps the pulling of a tooth that is equal to that caused by pulling on a new flax shirt for the first time. It is almost equal to thg feeling that one would experience if he had a dozen or more chestnut burs or a hundred small pin points in contact with the flesh. Even to this day I can recall accurately the tortures that I underwent when pulling on one of these garments. The fact that my flesh was soft and tender added to the pain. But I had no choice. I had to wear the flax shirt or none, and had it been left to me to choose 1 should have chosen to wear no covering. “In connection with the flax shirt my brother John, who is several years older than I am, performed one of the most generous acts that 1 over heard of one slave relative doing for another. On several occasions when I was being forced to wear a new flax shirt he generously agreed to put it on in my stead and wear It for several days till It was ‘broken in.’ Until I had grown to be quite a youth this single garment was all that I wore.” The Itenln Eaters. “Resin eating,” said a south Georgia doctor, “is a habit acquired by the Cracker settlers who live in the neighborhood of a turpentine still. The resin they use isn’t the hard, shiny resin of commerce, but has been dipped out of the cooking caldron at an early stage of the process, and when it cools it can be kneaded between the fingers like wax. The backwoods resin eater will bite off an Immense chunk and chew It placidly until it disappears. The heat of the mouth keeps It fairly soft, but if the chewing becomes too deliberate it is apt to ‘set,’ as they say, and cement the victim’s Jaws together iu a grip of iron. “On one occasion a big, rawboned backwoodsman who used to hang around a still I operated came rushing into my little office, clutching his face in both hands and making a horrible gurgling noise in his throat. ‘What on earth is the matter? - I asked in alarm. ‘llls rosum’s sot,’ said another Cracker, who brought up the rear. I was nonplused at first, but finally grasped the fact that the man had been chewing a monstrous slab of resin and had thoughtlessly suspended operations long enough to allow it to solidify and clamp Jiis teeth like a vice. We finally pried his mouth open with a chisel and broke a couple of molars in the operation. Next day I saw him chewing again.”—Exchange. The White Shark. The shark of sharks, the real “man eater” and the one most dreaded, is the white shark. This variety reaches a length of 35 feet and a weight of 2,000 pounds. Its head is long and flat, and the snout far overhangs the mouth. Its six rows of teeth are sharp as lancets and notched like saws. Its mouth is very large, so that one has been known to cut a man’s body completely in two at a single snap of its cruel Jaws ami another to swallow one at a gulp. Near Calcutta one of these sharks was seen to swallow a bullock's bead, horns and all. From the stomach of another a bull's bide was taken entire, and the sailor who made the discovery Insisted that the bull had been swallowed whole and all except the hide had been digested. From the stomach of another was taken a lady’s workbox, filled with the usual contents, scissors and nil. It is commonly the white shark which follows the vessel at sea day after day and week after week.

Every woman loves to think of the time when a soft little body, all her own, will nestle In her bosom, fully satisfying the yearning which lies in the heart of every good woman. But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which fills her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of the joy of motherhood. And yet it need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, a liniment called Homer’s friend which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature Intended it. it is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscleselasticlty and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning sickness and the loss of the girlish figure. An intelligent mother In Butler, Pa., says: “ Were I to need Mother’.

The Wheel Problem. Which, at any given moment, is moving forward faster—the top of a coach wheel or the bottom? The answer to this question seems simple enough, but probably nine persons out of ten. asked at random, would give the wrong reply. It would appear at first sight that the top and bottom must be moving at the same rate—that is, the speed of the carriage. But by a little thought it will be discovered that the bottom of the wheel is in fact, by the direction of its motion Ground its axis, moving backward, in an opposite direction to that which the carriage is advancing and is consequently stationary in space, while the point on top of the wheel is moving forward with the double velocity of its own motion around the axis and the speed at which the carriage moves.

Read it iu his newspaper. Georgo Schaub, a well known German citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant reader of the Dayton Yolkszeitung. Me knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in its columns, and when ho saw Chamberlain’s Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: “After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me ‘1 feel as though born anew,’ and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could again take up her household duties.” He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery.
