A MONKEY'S WARDR03E.
Brammel, the licat llrcaacd Monkey
In AH Creation.
A white-faced Japanese monkey, own-
ed 1 a member of the Union League
Club of Xew York, Is quite a dandy lu
bis way. fie Is certainly the best dress
ed and best groomed simian In the
world, nnd very appropriately Is named
Hrummel. It was lu Uuulon recently
that the owner conceived the Idea ot
providing his monkey with decent
clothes. Man, he argued, owed a cer
tain debt of gratitude to dead monkeys.
which they could repay In no lietter
fashion than by showing a decent cour
tesy to the living ones. And to this
forcible reasoning Itruinmel owes" his
wardiobe. Ills master sent to Toole.
Mr. l'oole Is the most fashionable
which means the most expensive tail
or In Loudon, and therefore in me
world. One has to be Introduced be
fore l'oole will make clothes for one.
Mr. Poole sent Dent, the famous Dent,
his luad cutter, to measure Hrummel
and within two weeks the monkey had
the neatest little wardrolie that ever
mortal monkey possessed. Ills dress
suit Is made of the costliest broadcloth,
faced with satin, and stitched through
out with silk. His walklnir costume Is
of heavy English tweed, aud w hen you
see Hrummel with his cap perched
Jauu.Ily upon his head and a walklug
tick In one hand you have a vivid im
pression of having seen something like
It before probably upon n trans-Atlau-lie
llnw. Ills pyjamas are of the light
est, finest Chinese silk, and the mon
key has liecome so accustomed to them
that he refuses to go to sleep without
them. The bath rols-, which Is of somo
fleecy material, soft to the touch, pleas
ed Hrummel so much that he actually
learm to take a liatli every morning,
for the pleasure of feeling It upon his
inck. Of course, Hrummel has a vilct
to loo'K after him. nnd you may depend
upon It this valet earns bis wages.
There Is no monotony lu his life.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE SPANISH
COMMANDER IN CUBA.
He Eiplalna a - Thiua- to a Woman

the Fainou Morro ('entla.
Tho New York Journal sent a woman
torrespoudeut to Culm to interview the
rpunisn commander In chief, Ueuerul
W ey ler. The following is a purt of tho
couvenwtiou between them;
"Then I run deny tho stories that
have Utn published us to your beiua
cruel?"
I The general shrugged bis heavy shoul-
ucrs ss no n.iicl carelessly :
"I have no time to puy attention to
Stories. Some of them are truo and
some are not. If you will particularize
I will give direct answers, but these
things are not important."
"Does not your excellency think that
prisoners of war should be treuled with
consideration and mercy?"
Tho generul's eyes glinted danger
ously. "The Spanish columns attend to their
prisoners just as well us auy other
country in times of war," he replied
"Wur is war. You cannot mule it oth-
HW'K,- ''y as you will."
I "Will not your excellency allow 1110
I to go the scene of baitle, under an escort
1,1 soldiers 11 uccrsrary, that 1 may write
or the fighting as it really is and cor
j nit m jui-n.-ii, 111111 iiretiiiiB m
America that inhuman treatment is lo
lug accorded the insurgent prisoners?"
"Impossible," answered the general;
it would uot be safe.
"I am willing to take ull the danger
ir your excellency will ullow me to go,"
I exclaimed.
beueral weylir laughed. "There
would be no danger from the rebels."
he said, "but from the Spanish soldiers.
They are of a very ufTcctionuto disposi
tion aud would all fall in love with
you."
"I will keep a great distance from the
fightiug if yon will ullow U10 to go."
Thegouoral's lips closed tightly, and
be said :
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"What would happen," I asked, "if
I should be discovered crossing the lines
without permission ?"
"Yon would be treated just the same
as a man."
"Would I be sent to Custle Morro?"
"Yes." lie nodded his bead vigot
ouely. That settled it I decided not to go.
"Why," I then asked, "is tho rulo
'incommunicado' placed npon prisoners?
Is it not cruel to prevent a man from
seeing his wife and children?"
"Tho rnle 'incommunicado,'" said
the gcueruh "is a military law. Prison
ers aro allowed to see their relatives us
a favor, bnt we exercise discretion in
these cases. "
"There are stories that prisoners aro
shot in Morro castle at daybreak each
nioiuiug, and that tho shots can bo
plainly heard across tbe bay. Is this
true?"
The general's eyes looked unpleasant
again.
It is fulse," he said Shortly. "The
prisoners go through a regular court
murtiul, und no one could be shot at
Morro without my orders, and I have
not given orders to shoot any one siuce
I huve been here,"
'Do you not think it very cruel that
innocent women aud children should be
uiude to suffer in tiuio of war?"
'No innocent women aud children do
suffer. It is only those who leave their
homes aud take part in battles who tire
injured. It is only the rebels who de
stroy peaceful homes."
'It is reported," I said, "thut UO
women are fighting under General Ma-
ceo. is tins truer
'Yes," replied tho general. "We took
one woman yesterday. She was dressed
in man's clothes aud was wielding a
machete. She is now in Morro castle.
These women uro fiercer than the men.
Many of them are mnluttcHts. This par
ticular woman wus white."
What will be her fute?"
'She will go through the regular
form of trial. "
"Will no mercy bo shown her?" I usk-
od.
"Mercy is always shown to a woman.
While tho law is tho sumo for both sexes,
there is a clause which admits of mercy
to a womuu. "
'There are several Cuban women in
surgents iu Morro uud the Cuhanas.
Would your excellency," I asked, "ul
low me to visit and converse with
thorn?"
No," he said. "Thore is a law that
no foreigner shall enter our fortresses.
It is a military luw. We can make no
exceptions. You understand thut I do
uot wish to be discourteous, sonuritu."
"Some of these women," I continued,
"aro said to be imprisoned for merely
having Cuban flags in their homes. Is
this possible?"
"Treason, "expluiiied the general, U
always a crime punishable by imprison
ment." A Tear From Now.

tiou of his munager, treated more than
300 patients, and in a majority of cases
with instantaneous success.
There was a dramatic sceno in the ho

It is proposed iu Utah to orguulze in
co-operution with neighboring stutes 11 u

successively in tho principal cities of

products and resources of tho urid region
uud of trying to dispel the notion thut
still exists in some quarters thut the
country between the Rockies and the
sierras is a hopeless desert, given np to
sagebrush and coyotes.
Tbe exposition would lw something
on the lines of the California exposition
soon to bo held in New York. Speci
mens of products from tho fields and
orchards would be shown, with samples
of the mineral treusures of the region.
Tho exhibits would be displayed in
the chief cities first, aud then divided
up for exhibition in smaller cities und
throughout the eastern stutes. T lie
main idea is of oourse that such au ex
hibition wonld attract immigration aud

"Tho possibility of having a chance
to do so seems so remoto thut I don't
think it worth considering, but just
now I should refuse. Whitney und Mat
thews would make n splendid team if
they would accept. New York and In

feel if the two slates were uot both rep

"Hut I believe," bo continued, "thnt
the next president will tie elected by the
bouse of representatives. Thero will be
a fight in both the national conventions
between the extreme gold men aud the
extreme silver men. Both uro cranks.
Tho two parties as IVmoeruts uud Re
publicans have really no difference on
the money question. The silver men
will not be satisfied with the Repub
lican platform, and they will bolt and
loso the party enough s(atts to throw
thu olectiou of tho president into the
house. "
"What sort of money plunks will the
uutioual platform contain?"
"Thut 1 cannot say, but this is the
day of straddles. The Republican party
claims to favor a gold standard, yet
none of the leaders will come out und
declare for it in so many words. If Mo
Kiuley bus done it, I huve uot beard of
it. Therefore a compromise plunk with
tho Republicans will lie a straddle."
"What about the Republican nomina

"Well, Ih. don't seem to have ar

Ho says tho X ray is a wonderful thing,

thut it is a buck number, it being a

ou the psychical plane, and as such has
long been known to eastern occultists.
He admits, however, thut the east has

X ray, nnd ho exiecls to have lots of fun
with it when he returns home.
The "Pursue Edison" never leaves his

The magnetic extremities of the body he
believes should ulwuya be covered, so as
to prevent the loss of vital magnetism,

"That's dead wrong. Yon ought to put

of conscience at tbe fuult thus found

This Inspector of necessity Is au anal

It Is the duty of this tester or "In

the kernels Into a flaky dust Below
the rollers are silk sieves which sep
arate Ihe bran from Ihe Hour. When
the Hour has becu secured It Is washed
thoroughly so oomplctcly that the
starch and the gluten are wholly sep
arated. There must be not less than
-Id per cent, of gluten In the flour to
keep up the required standard, and
tho Inspector knows wheu he has fin
ished his washing, by the amount of
the gluten residuum, whether the
wheat of tho day Is up to the required
standard In this ressrt or uot ,
The glutcu thickens or solidifies Into
a little patty, about tho slxc of a tooth
sotuo marshmallow, and about Iho
color of a maple sugar caramel, but
having more nutriment In It than all
the candy you could pat In a mftuth.
It Is very nearly the color of the wheat
kernel as It lies In a round disc ou the
piece of silk where It bus boon col
lected. But not only must the Inspector know
by color, weight and consistency as to
the quality of the gluten -he must
bako It ns well.
The Inspector carefully weighs out
slxteen ounces or flour. It must lie
exact to the fraction of a gram. He
mixes this with water In n white earth
en bowl, ten ounces of water to the six
teen of flour. He Is planning for a
pound loaf, and when he turns It out
of the tin fully baked It will be such a
one If the flour Is what It should be.
He does not knead tho flour at all'

pulls It, as candy Is pulled. Fifty pulls
mixes It thoroughly.

and measured. It must be so muny
Inches high, so many lung; so many
Inches around It one way, so many '
(he other. This loaf of bread Is sub
ject to Iron-clad rules from the time It
enters the tiny mill as wheil mull It
stands before the Inspector as a fin
ished loaf.
When the loaf Is cooled It Is cut open
for Inspection. It must be of just tho
right hue, Inside as well as our. If the
Inspector finds It has a peculiarly white
Interior, be kuows thut there Is too
much starch, too little gluten. Your
Ideal flour disss uot make the chalky
white bread so muny people huve come
to consider the best.
All around the Inspector's rooms are
shelves on which are glass jars of sam
ples or each day's flour. Each sample
Is labeled with the details or thu vari

H In that time a dealer In Liverpool
or Havana, or New York, or sumo
