Chinipansers with Doll-Baby.
Philadelphia Call.
The keeper of the chimpanzees at the
Zoological garden placed a dull-baby
in their cage the other day. It wan
clothe 1 in a red dress that attracted
the attention of the animals in a mo
ment. At Erst they stood at a respect
ful distance and hoo-hood at it to h1iow
that they had not fallen in love itli it
ut first "sight. Then they began to
stamp on the floor to scare it away
l inding this unavailing the big one
dashed up to within a foot of the pas
s.ve baby, stamping and chattoring,
but finding that the strange thing did
not budge she turned tail and tied.
'1 ho little one was not to be outdone,
although she was evidently greatly in
fear of it, so she held her blanket up in
front of her while she approached, but
she did not go Jar.
After a while the big one was brave
enough to go quite near, so that with
a straw she could tickle the newcomer
under the chin. The doll never stirred.
The end of the straw was examined
and smelt of by the two animals, and
nothing harmful being found they ven
tured to touch it. They then scam
pered to the top of the cage. Afer a
while curiosity got the better of fear,
and they returned to the inspection,
which was mostly confined to sitting
in front of it an J making facot at it.
The keeper tied the figure to a swinging
rope. The big one dragged it by .the
hem of its garment to the box in which
they sleep. They placed it inside and
at once executed a war dunce on
the top. The little one stopped
her noisy Bister with a vicious cut!
and drew out the unfortunate. Then,
sitting on the floor, she held it in her
arms as if it had been a reul baby of her
own. After making evident fun of this
soft-heartedness, the other pulled the
doll away and deliberately sat on its
head, striking the bedy with the palm
of her hands. V hile she was endeavor
ing to rega n the plaything the dress
did not long romuin intact. After this
they hauled the body about the cage,
up the tree and on to the cross-beam
and then threw it to the ground. One
piece of the dress they ued for a neck
t e, and another was turned into a head
dress, with which one of them adorned
herself before the mirror in the corner
of the cngo.

Tho queen writes letters which her
ministers, having the fear of parlia
ment before their eyes, could liot
always dare to write. They must use
circumlocutory forms, whereas, the
queen can go straight to the point, and
never fails to do so when the occasion
demands. That the small items of
court life may not be lost bight of one
can add that all the queen's private let
ters are written on large-sized letter
not note paper with a narrow black
border and three little crowns one im
perial and two royal embossed in
white on tho upper right oorner. The
envelopes are sealed in black wax with
a coat of the Coburg arms engraved on
the carnelian of a ring which Prince
Albert wore when a boy.
In making notes from what she reads
the queen uses a small gold pencil cose,
which was also l'rince Albert's, and
which is attached to her watch chain:
speaking of notes it may bo observed
that a very interesting collection of Mr.
Black's novels will possibly find its way
at some future date from the queeu's
private library into the British museum.
The margins of all the volumes, and
particularly the passages descriptive of
highland scenery, have been profusely
annotated by the queen; and some of
them have been illustrated by sketches
on the fly leaves.
Generally speaking the queen is not
a reader of novels. She reads The
Times regularly, looks at the pictures
in Punch and the illustrated papers ;
but tne literature sue prefers is fur
nished by books of historical or per
sonal memoirs. Of this last kind she
peruses every volume that appears.

LIVE STAGE PROPERTIES.
TheRlak or Heal liable--Experience
with lloram, loga, El.
New York Sun.
"Among the riskiest of risks in a
theatre," said an old property mun,
"live properties go to the front. It
doesn't take much to set an audience
tittering, and there is very much dan
ger that live properties will mar the
success of a piece at the critical mo
nieut by doing tho wrong thing. Con
sequently, from time immemorial all
sorts of imitations of live properties
have been in vogue.
"Babies, for instance, cannot always
be depended upon to be good-natured
and pretty at precisely the right mo
ment. Paregoric and soothing syrup
have the disadvantage of making a real
baby look like a counterfeit. Of
course if it wero nocessary to produce
a crying baby you could bo sure of it
every time, but no play ever produced
required a real baby to cry in the
presence of the audience. Jt is only
the counterfeit babies who do that, and
they generally do it in a very unnatural
way. In many pieces where the point
of the play turns on a baby, the effect
is lost by the usojjf a dummy baby.
Thus in 4 1'oung Mil. Winthrop,' when
the doll baby is brought on, it is ask
ing too much to expect the audience to
get up much emotion over a mere
bundle of rags. Two or three irrovor
ent persons in an audience can always
turn into ridicule any act where a
dummy baby is the prominent actor.
But as hot ween the chances of the real
baby misbehaving and the chance ol
the dummy baby causing ridicule the
general rule has been to risk the latter.
"Ileal babies, however, have often
been introduced with great success.
There is, for instance, a real baby in
troduced in "Confusion," and it al
ways excitos the admiration of all the
w omen and most of tho men in the
audience. The women always marvel
at the wonderful patience of the baby,
which although wide awake, is appar
ently stowod away in a cabinet on the
stage about a quarter of an hour. The
fact is that the cabinet has a hole in the
back, and when the audience imagine
tho baby to be. lying in its dark and un
comfortable quartors, it is really being
nursed in the arms of its mother be
hind the scenes, and is put back in the
eabinet only when the cue is given.
"Boucicault would not risk a real dog
in the play of 'The Shaughraun,' but
his dog Tatters, who was purely imag
inary, became quite a feature of the
piece, especially in the description of
the famous attack in tho rear causing
the destruction of a very considerable
part of a pair of pantaloons. Now,
there are plenty of dogs who could be
relied upon to do this and more with
promptness and accuracy every night.
The boys who go to the Bowery thea
tres know all these dogs aud have
known thorn for years. Nothing but
real bloodhounds will do to pursue the
fleeing slaves over the ice of the Missis
sippi in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' It be
comes really thrilling when the dogs
spring at the throats of their victims.
That is the sort of live properties that
may be relied upon to give a realism to
a play w hich can be produoed in no
other way. Such trained dogs do not
gi e the property mun much trouble,
ub their owners alone can manage them.
"Emmet has a dog in 'Fritz,' which
is said to be worth $ 2,500, but he was
never half as famous as 'Rip Van Win
kle's' dog Schneider, w hich nover had
any existence except in tho vivid de
scription of J oo Jefferson. That was so
life-like that I could imagine I could
both see and hear the dog on the stage,
aud I wondered he did not come when
Joe whistled for him. And yet when
a real nice dog like the big one that
was lately used in 'The Bomanv Bye' is
used, it never fails to go straight to the
hoart of an audience. The house would
always ring with applause when the
shaggy old fellow obeyed the commands
of his mistress, and he used to sit upon
his haunches and look over the audience
as if he liked it. Then the scene
in the bird fancier's shop in this
play, with real birds in the cages, is
always interesting, for the birds lluttor
and hop about in a very lively way.
"Horses, too, have formed a consider
able portion of live properties. Adah
Isaacs Menken and Miss Hodson used
to create an immense furor in
'Mazeppa,' and y hen they were bound
to their foaming steeds and started on
their perilous ascent of stage carpen
ters' crags the effect was startling, aud
not to be approached by any mere de
scription such as Lady Gay Spanker
gives of an imaginary race. There is a
illing scene in 'Taken from Life,'
where tlie hero takes a real hoi se from
the stable and make a fortunate escape.
"Maggie Mitchell makes a feature of
the use of chickens real live chickens
which she chases about tho Btage
with hoydenish glee, und they form a
very important j art of her properties.
Ilumpty i uin ty never fails to biing
out u real l.ve donkey, who kicks up
his hoels and tnrows his rider ut the
right moment. No ilumpty Uumpty
would be complete without a real don
key. In 'Around the World in highty
Days' a real elephant is introduced, and
in such plays as 'The Black Venus' and
'The Siege of Luckr.oiv' there is an op
portunity for the display of a whole
menagerie of live properties. Here,
however, we border on the circus.
"Among the novel uses of live prop
erties is that of the horse in 'Kerry
Gow,' which is chod in the presence of
the audience. Murphy, tl.e actor who
has played that part many times, has a
real forge and makes a real shoe out of
real hot iron, and actually nails it on,
all of which delights the boys in the
gallery very much. 1 never heard of a
tat being introduced purposely on the
stage, but when one happens to get into
a theatre and to walk across the stage
at the wrong time it is sure to make a
sensation."
