MIMICRY AND REASON.
Indication That This Monkey Is Endowed
With a Share of £ach.
“That the monkey possesses intelli
gence to a considerable degree is proba
bly true, ’ ’ said a hotel proprietor who
has a small menagerie on his premises.
“I believe, however, much of the intel
ligence with which that animal is cred
ited is dne to his love of mimicry.
“The other day two young men with
two girls were at the monkey’s cage
feeding him peanuts. One of the girls
was chewing gum, and one of the men
suggested that she give tbo monkey
some, expecting that if he took it in his
mouth it would stick to his teeth, and
he would make sorry work of trying to
chew it The girl at once parted with
the sweet morsel she was so industrious
ly chewing, extending it toward the
cage. The monkey grabbed it instantly
and put it into his mouth, but instead
of chewing it, or attempting to, began
pulling it out in small ribbons, as chil
dren are frequently seen to do. When
he had it all out of his mouth, he rolled
it into a compact ball between his
bands, threw it into his mouth and be
gan the operation again. He appeared
to enjoy the performance as much as his
visitors. That was imitation. ”
“That’s all right,” rejoined another,
“but I had an experience with that
same monkey wherein he displayed in
telligence. I was by the cage smoking
one day, and I thought to annoy him by
blowing smoke in his face. I was much
surprised to find that, instead of being
annoyed, he enjoyed it, as was evi
denced by his edging up as near me as
possible to receive the smoke in larger
volumes. Soon he began scratching
himself at the point where most of the
smoke came against him. When I had
smoked one side for a few minut^f, he
would turn squarely round to have the
other side treated in the same way.
Then'he sat up directly in front of me
and received the smoke squaiely in the
face and neck. I don’t know whether
he held his breath, but he did not cough,
sneeze cr wince a particle. To complete
the job be then sat with his back toward
me, and it would have done you good
to have seen him throw his hind feet
over his back and scratch. It made me
think of the kickers of a hay tedder in
motion. Now that monkey knew,
through some 6ort of intelligence, that
nothing will send fleas aud other insects
to the surface cr stupefy them as effect
ively as tobacco smoke.”—Utica Ob

COLLEGE GIRLS AND MARRIAGE.
Bit« of €unfe«Bion That Throw a Light ou
the Question.
I have no doubt that the remaining
cause of the low marriage rate iB that
many men dislike intellectual women—
whether because such women are really
disagreeable or because men’s taste is at
fault I shall not try to determine. And
even arnoDg those who like them as
friends many feel as the young man did
who made this confession:
“I never expected to marry the sort of
girl I did. You know I always believed
in intellectual equality aud all that
and had good friendships with the col
lege girls. But, you see, you girls hadn’t
any illusions about us. After you had
seen us hanging at the board on problems
you could work and had taken the same
degrees yourselves, you couldn’t imagine
us wonders just because we had gone
through college, and when I met a dear
little girl that thought I knew every
thing—why, it just keeled me right
over. It was a feeling I had no idea of. ”
And the college woman answered :
“I will betray something to you. Lots
of us are just as uureformed as you. We
waDt just as much to lookup to our hus
bands as you want to be looked up to.
Only of course the more we know the
harder it is to find somebody to meet the
want. Probably the equal marriage is
really the ideal one, and everybody will
come to prefer it some day. But per
sonally I like men to be superior to me
Only I’ll tell you what I don’t like in
them—the wish to keep ahead of us by
holding us back, like spoiled children
that want to be given the game and
then admired for their skill. If men
would encourage us to do our very best,
and theu do still better themselves, it
ought to be good for civilization.”—
"The Marriage Rate of College Wom-
en,” by Milicent W. Shinn, in Century.
No Precedent.
During a session of the territorial leg
islature of Montana, held more than 80
years ago, a measure was introduced
which appeared to some people to in
volve serious constitutional questions.
One man, who was supposed to possess
great oratorical powers, declaimed fierce
ly against the measure, claiming that it
was “clearly in opposition to the great
principles of Magna Charta, which the
brave barons-in days of old had wrested
from King John, a blessed result of a
bloody conflict. ”
A lawyer, more famed for his sturdy
common sense than for erudition, rose
immediately to reply to this burst of
fiery eloquence, evidently bent on mak
ing it clear that he for one was not to
be overoome by high sounding words or
obscure allusions.
“It’s of mighty little importance
what the opinions of King John and his
man McCarthy were.” he announced
firmly, adding that it was high time for
legislative bodies of Montana to think
aud act for themselves without any refer
ence to the principles which governed
the remote authorities quoted by his
colleague.
The first orator's speech had made
some impression, but the retort was re
ceived with the enthusiasm which it
deserved, and it was owing to his in
fluence rather than that of his more
brilliant predecessor that the measure
was defeated.—Youth’s Companion.

AT A TENEMENT WINDOW.
Sometimes my needle stops with half drawn
thread.
(Not often, though. Each moment’s waste
means bread,
And missing stitches leave the little mouths
unfed.)
I look down on the dingy court below.
A tuft of grass is all it has to show,
A broken pump where thirsty children go.
Above there shines a bit of sky so small
That it might be a passing bluebird’s wing.
One tree leans up against the high brick wall,
And there the sparrows twitter of the spring
Until they waken in my heart a cry
Of hunger that no bread can satisfy.
Always before when May time took her way
Across the fields I followed close. Today
I can but dream of all her bright array.
My work drops down. Across the sill I lean
And leng with bitter longing for unseen
Rain freshened paths where budding woods
grow green.
The water trickles from the pump below
Upon the stones. With eyes half shut I hear
It falling in a pool where rushes grow
And feel u cooling presence drawing near.
And now the sparrows chirp again. No, hark!
A singing as of some far meadow lark.
It is the same old miracle applied
Unto myself, that on the mountain side
The few small loaves and fishes multiplied.
Behold how strange and sweet the mystery!
The birds, the brohen pump, the gnarled tr
Have brought the fullness of the spring to n
For in the leaves that rustle by the wall
All forests find a tongue. And so that grass
Can with its struggling tuft of green recall
Wide bloom filled meadows where the cattle
pass.
How it can be but dimly I divine.
These crumbs, God given, make the whole loaf
mine.

HER ALARM CLOCK.
And Why She Had Good Reason For Be
ing Incensed Against It.
A suburban woman not long since
purchased an alarm clock. It was a fat
nickel plated little affair with the cus
tomary gong atop. The woman got the
clock because she felt an overwhelming
desire to play the role of the early bird.
That night, therefore, she set the time
piece according to the specified direc
tions. But for some reason or other the
clock failed to go off. The woman gave
it a second trial. Again it played her
false. She took it to the suburban jew
eler. He said the clock waB outrageous
ly out of order, hinted darkly at the dis
honesty of any individual who would
palm off such an article as perfect goods
and prescribed a course of treatment
which he would be gracious enough to
administer for the sum of 75 cents. The
clock’s original cost had been $1.50.
The night that it came back from the
suburban jeweler the woman wound it
up with a feeling of unassailable secur
ity. This time the role of the early bird
would be hers for certain. The next
morniDg, however, it failed to go off,
just as before. The woman took it back
to the suburban jeweler, who received '
it with an “I told you that clock was
terribly ont of order. ” Eucore, 75 cents
Time passed, the clock, like the cat
in the canticle, “came back,” and the
woman woke up (some hours later than
she had intended) only to find that it
hadn't “gone off” again. She now took
the troublesome timepiece to the city
jeweler from whom she had first pur
chased it. He declared the clock to have
been all rignt until “ruined” by the
suburban jeweler, but consented to re
pair it—also to charge $1 for so doing.
The woman then bore it home in tri
umph.
Next morning, though, the same old
drama was enacted, and the woman was
once moro unable to assumo the role of
the early bird. Had she been a man she
might have sworn. As it was, she con
fided her woes to the breakfast tableful.
“Why, that clock’s been going off all the
time, ” observed the woman who occu
pied the neighboring room to the clock
owner. “It’s waked me up every morn
ing regularly. The trouble is it hasn’t
waked you. ”
Whereupon the woman felt more in
censed against the clock than ever. To
think of its having so little discrimina
tion and discretion as to wake up the
wrong person!—New York Sun.
