For some time the collection of an
thropoid apes in the Zoological gardens
was reduced by the death of Sally and
Xieorgo to a single representative of the
order a gibbon. The stock has within
the last day or two been recruited by a
pair of orangs, which occupy the cage
that used to lodge the celebrated and
much lamented Sally. Unfortunately,
however, these two little -beasts do not
appear to possess the same vigor of con
stitution which. Sally enjoyed. One has
a distressing cough and the other looks
decidedly out of sorts. It is to be feared
that they will not long remain with us.

Iled from Pressure of Money.
Of misers who rolled in their gold j,.
have often heard, but it' is surely a new
experience for one to die from the pres
sure of his accumulated specie. A poor
looking, third class passenger in the
train from Paris to Turin ' was a week
ago taken seriously ill as the latter
place was ueared. He was still alive
when Turin station was reached, and
was carried off at once to a sofa, in the
waiting room, where he soon died.
' On examination it was found he was
wearing a belt containing no less than
80,000 francs in gold, and death had vi
dently been caused by the pressure of
this belt with its precious contents. The
dead man had also rouleaux of gold
under his armpits, though he was
dressed in rags, and so far no clue to his
identity has been -discovered. London

j Hundreds of thousands of thrifty
fonng men .and women throughout the
United States.' who are ambitious to se
cure a competency for their old age, are
at a loss to know how to invest their
small savings to advantage. There is
Scarcely a successful business man ' in
New York who does not receive in his,
mail every morning requests for infomui
tion as to the best way to in vest small
sums of money1.' ;
' : With a view of ohtaining some opin
ions on the subject ' a reporter called a'
few days ago upon "some of the most
prominent and successful business men
of the country, noted for . their shrewd
investments. atii' asked them to- give
their .opinions of" the best way to invest
l00v- t lv?-v:-:; -
- Mr. Henry' Clews, who has 'earned a
reputation for his sound judgment in all
matters relating to investments, said:
. "The best; investment for- $100 is to
place it in a good savings bank and make
the foundation to build upon by frequent
additions to it. L When the amount gets
large enough the"first acquisition of prop
erty should buy a homestead, and when
that is accomplished it will give such
comfort and peace of mind to the owner
and his fiimily as to make life worth the.
livtllg. '' ; - '. - -
"When a man is known to own his
house it gives him a status in the com
munity greater than anything else. It
also gives him an. established credit
Vrhich, when obtained, if judiciously and
conservatively used, will make it much
easier to acquire this world's goods.
. - "The best citizens are those who own
in fee their homes and tlteir contents, for
it develops qualities in a man's nature
that othenwise- may remain, dormant or
hidden like a light tinder a bushel.
!. "Among these qualities are pride of
position, which will keep a man respects
able; the love of country, -which ' will
make him a patriot,-and almost more
than anything else contribute to make
him, not only respected byhis neighbors
and friends, but also a good and faithful
husband and a loving parent."
A "GILT EDGED BOXD," SAYS DR. DEPEW.
Dr. Channcey M." Depew advised that
the $100 should be made grow to $1,000
before being invested in any enterprise.
"Put it in the savings bank," said the
doctor, "where
e it can draw cnmivmml
interest, and
add. to it as you can nntil
it becomes a thousand. .Thn iar,r

vest it in a gilt edged bond which can be
registered. There is no investment for
$100 except to-put it intoja savings bank
ttiat is absolutely safe. The chances are
that if he went to inquire he would meet
speculative gentleman who would land
his UOOin some mining or other similar
scheme which promised large returns.
and that would be the end oWt"
! Mr. Erastus Wiman is of the opinion
that "the best wav toinv.r anno i,
buy a share in some well managed local
bmUling and loan association. ' These
associations represent the aggregate sav
ings of their members, and the money is
invested, only in houses built- by one of
their own number. The investment is
therefore a very safe one, because men
will p&y for their .homes and the interest
due thereon sooner than they would pay
for anything, else: The money can be
withdrawn, if .need be. while it rests
with the society, and it pays as good an
iifterestas any other- safe enterprise can
afford. Compared with the savings bank
it yields about twice the interest, while
the security is generally just as good. '
"Of course all depends upon manage
ment, but taken as a whole the " money
of poor people put into building loan as
sociations has been more honestly ad
ministered by the poor people themselves
jhan has been Nany other financial trust
in the country." In proportion to the
enormous amount invested, which now
reaches over $700.000.000 reaching that
of the capital of all the national banks
the amount of defalcations has been in
finitesimal. - - '. , i
"The rate, of interest paid has been
larger, the purpose accomplished nobler,
andTthe security just as safe as that of
the average railroad, bank, mortgage or
insurance investment. I put $100 away
every month in a building and .-loan as
sociation, conscious that it is the very,
safest and best investment, that I can
make. By it 1 am enabled to insure my
life for $20,000, and 1 am all the time ac
cumulating, hot only the principal,' but
interest, which thus far has averaged 10
per cent.
"UNCT.E" HUFUS- HATCH'S VIEWS. "
pncle" Rufus Hatch, who has lost
over $1,000,000 in - Wall street, does
not recommend any 'high flying"- in
vestment. , His advice for putting out
$100 was to "go slow, and he added:
("If you can find a solvent savings bank,
put the $100 there, and be satisfied with
8 or 4 per cent, interest. . It would seem,
however, from disclosures that national
banks and savings banks and all other
banks are more or less open to criticism.
The vast majority of the public do not
know how to take care of their savings
and' are: , easily-' induced , to - put them
jwhereyer they, are promised a big per
'cent, interest, 'j '- '- ..
"However all this may be," and "Un
cle" Rnfns Hatch looked very serious,
"under any and all events, keep out of
Wall street. Teach the public to shun
its precincts. . It is simply suicide for a
man to go into Wall street with $100. J If
tia had $100,000,000 that might do. My
advice to thrifty persons is to keep the
S100 saved and keep adding to it until it
has accumulated to a reasonable amount.
Then buy an annuity for life or a paid up
life insurance for. your wife, and chil

Another tin Wit PreentlTe. ''..'' -
James Murphy, a ChicaKoan." is he
latest to- come ' forward- with a smoke
consuming device; ,' Rather,; though, is
it Mr.; Murphy's plan to prevent smoke,'
and this he seems to do very .effectually
by a patent arrangement which he places
on boilers and stoves: .- It is the idea to
catch and brirn the gases that are liber
ated from the coal before they form the
smoke. ? The smoke itself, the inventor?
says, cannot be burned after it has once
been formed,' so he burns, the gases. : i :
-'The principle is that.of taking air up
from the'ashpit in 'a furnace through
fire clay pipes vto" a--'1 hot air " chamber
abovethe grate bars.. '. Froin here it is
jthrowji from, all four sides of "the grate
through a three-quarter inch space which
is left open all around the fire, the space
being partially lodged over with aj'lip",
that throves the air. across the furnace.1
The distribution of this hot air equally
over the fire catches'the gases from- the
coal before .they are formed into smoke
and ignites and burns them. - -;
Thus only about 20 per . cent, pf the
usual amount of smoke contains no car-:
bon, is "not dirty at all and is white
instead of aooty. Mr. Murphy demon
strates the principle of his-device in a
stove, where the results are more easily
seen, . The stove is fitted with three fire
clay pipes on each side to conduct the
air. 'The stove burns any kind' of coal
or coke and from none of them can any
smoke be seen to arise. The stove makes
its own .draft from the airshaft. ; The
flame burns inward and close to the
middle of the grate, 'An examination

The Leaning Tower at Sarasoasa.
. -A committee appointed to report on-1
the famous Torre Nuova in the Plaza 1
han v Hipe, in the capital of Aragon,
has issued a pessimistic': account. It is
feared that this clock tower, a very fine
example, of the. kind, will have to be
pulled down. " Excessive rains and floods
have caused a subsidence of the soil and
the structure is deemed unsafe. '" The
construction of this torre inclinada was
begun in the Fifteenth century,under'
the direction of two Spanish, two Moor
ish and one Jewish architect; it is
octagonal in form.xJOQt feet high, 43 in
diameter, and leans about 10 feet out
of the perpendicular. Stone steps, 260
in number, lead inside to the top gallery.
It has been stated , that the leaning of"
the tower was due to the caprice of the
architects, but an old crack in its side
and a careful examination of the founda
tion led to the conclusion That it was
want of care on tha part pf the builders.

Visiting the patients of his districts, the
doctor found that, in many instances
their sickness was caused by hunger.
To the most needy he prescribed six
pounds of pure rye flour in doses of two
pounds a day." He ordered his patient
to get the medicine at 'the drug store of

issued free of charge every day. ' The
good doctor made arrangements with
the druggist to supply the flour at his
