MONKEYS ACTUALLY AT WORK
Ingenious English Officer Devised
Scheme by Which They Earn
Their Dally Bread.
Monkeys actually are innde to work
In Malabar, India, which Is perhaps the
only place In Ihe world where they
earn their salt. The Malabar monkey
Is of the fine species known as the lun
snir. It Is very warm at Malabar, and
there Is n fan called the punka, which
used to be kept In motion by a slnve.
It required n slave to work each pun
ka, but now every punka In Malabar
Is worked by a monkey. It was an
English officer who conceived the Idea i
of making the langiir work in Hint
manner. The fan Ik a movable frame
covered with canvas and suspended
from the celling. The motion is cnused
by pulling a cord. The officer tied the
bauds of a langur to one of the cords,
and then by means of another cord put
the machine n motion.
Of course, the monkey's hand went
up nnd down, and the animal wondered
what sort of a game was being played.
Then the officer patted Its hend and
fed It with candy till MOO the langur
thought It line fun to work the punka.
The' experiment was successful, and
now thousands of monkey! are In har
ness. Who Built It7
Summing tin his interpretation of the
Amiens cathedral, the "Rlble of
Amiens," Ituskln uska:
"Who built It. shall we ask? God
and man la the first true answer. The
atari In their courses built It. and I lu
nations. Greek Athens labors here,
and the Roman Father Jove and
Guardian Mnra. The Gaul labors here
and the Frank ; kingly Norman, mighty
Ostrogoth and wasted anchorite of I
Idumea. The actual man who built It
scarcely cared to tell you he did so;
iior do the. historian? brag of him.
Anv quantity of heraldries of knaves
and faineants you may fimi In what
they call their history; but this Is
probably the first time ynu ever read
the name of tinner! of l.ur.arches. I j
aay ne scurceiy cured ; we are not
sure that he enrrd at all. He signed
his name nowhere, that I cun bear of.
You may perhaps find some recent Ini
tials cut by English remarkable visit
ors desirous of linmoi talit.v, here nnd
there about the edifice, but Robert the
builder, or at least the master of that
building, cut his on no stone of It."
Give "Overt" a Chance.
Many a fine adjective has been
apolled by being hooked up, In some
facile phrase, to a commonplace noun.
For example, overt. Never In my life,
writes ii. L, Mencken In the New York
Bun, have I encountered overt save In
front of act. Thus Joined and poisoned,
It Is mouthed abominably by lawyers
ami newspaper editorial writers; the
literate fauna of u superior type avoid
It almost altogether, And yet It Is u
fine adjective, a Juicy adjective, an
adjective worth knowing batter, why
not overt honesty, overt destiny, overt
love? I once hnd an overt black eye.
EarllM In this life I made overt eyes
at a girl overtly red haired, and re
member her oleaginous kiss every
time the barber's brush slides scross
my face. Let us appoint a commute
to get overt out of Jail.

type called "hand squirts." The In
strument required the labor of three
men, one on each side to hold the ma

while the third man worked the plung

Statues of Crest Men.
The fashion of placing statues of
popular heroes In pnrks and squares
has prevailed for a long time, and Is
apparently not losing any Of Hie popu

would not he so prevalent, however. If
Rossini's plan were carried out.
The great Italian composer was
waited on one day by a delegation who
Informed him that a statue of himself
was to be erected In white marble,
nnd that It would adorn the public
square of his natal city. The artist
Inquired how much the Maine would

"Twelve thousand franca," was the
reply.
"Well." said Rossini, "give me that

Instead of a mere copy you'll hnve the

Commercial Morale Low in Japan.
China, for long centuries n highly
developed nation, has an elaborate
code of commercial ethics, .laprtn, on
the other hand, which Is n nation com
paratively new to civilization. Is not
in scrupulous, says a writer In Sys
tern. He centinues:
"In Japan they say I contract Is
never a settled thing, whereas in
China It Is absolutely binding. The
Japanese admit they have uo t null
lions in trade, nnd the average Jap
nuese merchant is tlrmly convinced
that If he orders goods today, mid Ihe

The llMMsnynmpii Is nn Arizona
river which stands for Hie aplrlt of his
native desert to the son Of western
Arizona. There nre two legends con
nected with the wnterq of Hiishh.v
ainpa one subscribed to by unlives and
the other by Irreverent aliens. I tot It
partial ngrec Hint Ida -waters of Ibis
desert stream have powers snrpnsslng
the iiormnl.
According to Hie nnllvc of Arizona,
whosoever shall tgOtO the waters of
llassayimipa Is thenceforward bound
to the Arizona desert by ties stronger
than bonds of steel. Drink once of the
magic currant, ami you mttet Inevltablj
return to drink again. Wherever you
may wander, In some quiel hour you
win hear the Eiaiaayampn calling, ami
Whether you nre In Cape Town Of
Hongkong or I'ori Said, you will forth
with take n(ilp on Hie trail of another
drink. 'I bat Is why the Arloulau In
foreign stales mid lands frequently
band themselves Into clubs called lias
say ainpii.
A look at the llassayniupa Itself will
convince the Unprejudiced stranger
that some magic power must reside
In the waters. Otherwise noboily would
want u second drink.
The other legend of Ihe llassuy ainpii
ll more often retailed by aliens, though
occasionally a native will admit Its
prevalence nnd the existence of a cer
laln amount of corroborative evidence.
This legend altlrms that whosoever
takes a drink of llasxny itmpn water Is
thenceforwnrd utterly and constitu
tionally Incapable of telling the truth
on nuy Important mailer. So fit inly
established did this belief become Hint
at one period of Arizona history. In
stead of applying the short and ugly
term to a mail, they called him a "Has

BEFORE DAYS OF PRINTING
People Then Employed Two Forms of
Writing, the Manuscript and
Cursive Hand.
The differences between script and
print are to be referred to a dale long
before the Invention of printing. We
must not suppose that the ancient
scribes, in writing papeis of but tern
porary value, would labor to follow the
siitne alphabet Hint Ihe carter em
ployed upon the monument! of atone

In existence a cursive Mvle of writing
Instances have been preserved nbiin

by the ordinary citizen scribbling Idle
sentiments upon the walls.
The alphabet of the monument! was
Commonly the model for the writers of
formal literature, prOfOOBlOBOl penmen
who looked forward to the library
preservation of the works upon which
they were engaged. Iluslness men used
the cursive script, which was far more
readily and correspondingly more rap
Idly written. The luoiiuiiieutal and
manuscript band has served as the
parent of the printed letter; Ihe cur

wns edited by Cornelius llonlekoe, u
Hollander, physician to the lOlector.
Robert Voelker nnd Rllai Locker, book

paper. It was a weekly and appeared

booksellers would sell Hie papers. In

young men a bo could not get a scat

elei'ri'ss and children would occupy
scuts under Ihe trees. After tin- clon
ing prayer the newspaper sale com
menced at the entrance gate. Rupert
V'uell.i r, the llr-t bookseller of Iterlln,
was allowed to give the elector a copy.
After church the eiectress and children
would return to the palace, while the
elector wo, lid enter a piibiiiiuin ami
be carried In the Luitgarden, There
he would cad Ihe paper, mid then
give nudb'tice to art lit! and oilier
learned m-n.
One Sunday a man was Introduced
who entertained the elector (WhO be
lieved in Hie appearance of the devil
In some form or another) With a story
which had happened to ll farmer at
Ihe Berlin gate.
"At the Berlin gale," lie said, "the
farmer's horses stopped suddenly. He
left his wagon lo coax lliem to go,
but coating and cursing would not take
them a step further. The farmer
turned bis head and saw nil ugly wom
an on his wagon, blaspheming God mid
promising the farmer wealth. Then
lbi farmer said : 'All good spirits.' The
woman did not move. The farmer got
angry and aald i 'Will you rldet Then
ride lii .lesits' nanie.' and the woman,
the devil, vanished from the wagon."
The elector was greatly Interested In
Hie story mid ordered the physlcliin
I'dltor to have the story published In
the next Issue of the paper ns a les
son lo others not to be tempted by
riches. Current news wns not allowed
to be published. Court functions and
fables would Dud more fnvor with the
llerllners. A bookseller fropi Leipzig
came In Berlin to publish another pa
per, which was promptly forbidden by
the elector, who considered one news
paper mffident for Berlin.
Wells Doesn't See It Through.
An edifying little wrangle between
Meeara Wells and Jerome has been
adorning the correspondence columns
of the Loudon Pally News. Mr. Jer
ome w role something about u "League
of Kensoii." Mr. Weils then saddled
Mr. Jerome with Ihe elegant repronch
of "slobbering with love mid forgive
ness about (he neck of the kaiser, the
Mown prince, Keventlovv mid the
Krupp family." Mr. Jerome, very
naturally, retorted that he hnd done
nothing iif Hie sort, w hereupon Mr.
Wells criticised Mr. Jerome for hold
ing opinions which Mr. Jerome sub
scipicully staled he did not hold.
After n few more Interchanges of com
pliments the editor of our conteinpo
rnry has printed a further letter of
Mr. Jerome's, despite a pressing In
vitation of his for further remarks by
Mr. Wells, with the Intimation. "This
correspondence Is now closed." This
embargo places Mr. Wells In the un
usual position of being unable to hnve
Hie last word.
Mental and Physical Work.
Murk Twain wrote as follows on this
subject :
"Ther are wise people who talk
ever so knowingly nmi complacently
about 'thi' working classes,' and sat
isfy lli'-insclves thai a day's haul In
telleetunl work Is very much hnrder
than n day's hard luminal toil, nnd Is
righteously entitled to much bigger
pay. Why, they really think that, ynu
know, Is because Ihey know all about
the one, but haven't tried the other.
Itut 1 know nil about both; ami so far
as I am concerned, there Isn't money
enough lo hire me lo swing a pickax
