those organs that
make her a wo-
man. If she neglects this she will be a
burden to herself her husband and her
children. She will grow old before her
time. She will lose happiness and love
and life. It is easy for a woman to keep
herself well and strong in a womanly way
if she will only take the proper care of
herself and use the right remedy for her
peculiar troubles.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a
boon to suffering women. It cures all dis-
ease and weakness of the organs distinctly
feminine. It acts directly on those organs
and makes them strong and healthy. It
allays inflammation soothes pain and stop*
weakening drains. Taken during the pe-
riod preceding motherhood it does away
with the usual discomforts and makes
baby’s coming easy and almost painless.
Druggists sell it. Substitutes are dangerous.
Miss Edith Cain of Clinton Allegheny Co.
Pa. writes: “ I take pleasure in exprestsing my
faith in your' Favorite Prescription.' After two
years of suffering I began taking Dr. Pierce’s
medicine and now lam entirely cured. I had
been troubled with female weakness for some
time and also with a troublesome drain on the
system but now lam happy and well. I will
cheerfully recommend Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre-
scription to all invalid ladies.”

THE MUSICAL MONKEY.
He I. Al.o * Trapeze Performer and a
First-da.. Fighter.
Albert Anderson who lives inHarleui
has a monkey named Billy. The monkey
has a room 10 by 12 which is fitted with
all sorts of acrobatic apparatus likely to
be enjoyed by a small but healthy tree
climber. In- one corner of the room is
a bed and in another are two dumbbells
made fast with ahains because the
monkey throws things when its t eon per
is ruffled.
The monkey is so fond of music that
when Albert Anderson Jr. plays the
harmonica in its hearing no matter if
it be eating or rollicking the monkey
stops and keeping time to the music
sways back and forth from its hips its
eyes wide open and its face expressing
great joy. Young Albert gave Billy a
mouth organ one day end Billy
screamed with delight. The monkey
put the instrument to its mouth and
blew hard. A discord followed instead
of the tune which the monkey plainly
expected and it thereupon held the har-
monica at arm’s length to look at it. It
blew the instrument again and again
each time looking at it as if to make out
what the trouble was. At last Billy
threw the harmonica across the room
chattering in anger. Albrt played a
waltz on bis instrument and Billy grew
less excited but would not touch a
harmonica again.
A week later the boy got a music box
for the monkey. After showing Billy
how to turn the crank the boy left the
box on the floor. The monkey looked
at it turned the box upside down
shook it and then taking hold of the
handle began to turn it slowly.’ The
music came and the monkey began to
dance first on one foot and then on the
other whining with delight. It is only
after the removal of the box that Billy
can be made to exercise on the bars and
swings enough to keep in health.
Billy does not weigh more than two
pounds but every grain of those pounds
is full of grit when it comes to a fight
Sam the house eat a big gray brute
scarred in street fights with wandering
tramp cats got into Billy’s room one
day and the monkey’s lips curled.
The cat looked up at themonkey which
was on a trapeze bar and licked its
chops. apparently knew what
t hat meant and dropped down part way
to the floor. The cat jumped hut Billy
did the giant swing and the cat missed.
Before the cat had got to the floor again
Billy was on it and in two minutes the
cat was leaping over liars and swings
yowling with pain. Sam never visited
Billy again.—N. Y. Sun.
RESEMBLES THE FOX.
The Fennec. a Beautiful Little Animal
Found In Africa.
This beautiful little animal which is
peculiar to Africa being found in
Egypt and Nubia resembles the fox in
general form and has the same bushy
tail. Its large ears and small head give
it a quaint look and its pretty blue eyes
are bright and intelligent looking. The
fur is generally of a pale fawn color but
sometimes creamy w hite while the tail
is of the same color except in the upper
base and the end which parts are de-
cidedly black.
Full-grown the fennec or zerda is
about 12 inches long without the tail
which is two-thirds the length of the
body. He is very active and has a
habit of running a ways then stopping
to sit on his haunches looking very
grave. Like the fox he feeds on vari-
ous fruits but is a marvel in that he
performed the astonishing feat of
climbing up a lofty date palm and there
secured the fruit which hangs in rich
THE AFRICAN FENNEC.
clusters at the top and which he dearly
loves. He also feeds on. eggs and in-
sects which are very cleverly snapped
up In passing.
The characteristics are so confused
and mixed that zoologists have fre-
quently transferred this animal from
one part of the animal kingdom to an-
other but it has been generally con-
•sldered as belonging to the fox family
qt the genus Vulpes. Like the fox
fennecs live in subterranean burrows
which they easily excavate in the sandy
soil of their native regions. The fur
is considered valuable by native tribes
for robes but the animals being so
small each robe requires a number of
skins. During the daytime the fennec
generally remains concealed and is tin-
frequently seen except after dark when
he emerges from his burrow and sets
off upon a marauding expedition.—

Keys to mankind was illustrated In Lon-
don. The school inspectors noted with
suspicion that a great many families
reported “no children” and in order to
ascertain the real number of children
in the district resorted to an ingenious
scheme. Two monkeys were gayly
dressed put in a wagon accompanied
by a brass band and were driven
through the streets of the district.
Crowds of children followed the mon-
keys and when the w agon was stopped
in a park the school officers distributed
candies to the youngsters while they
took their names and addresses. Two
hundred stray boys and girls were
rounded up by this method.
SCHOOL FOR PARROTS.
How the Birds Are l*nt Through m Reg-
ular Course of Training.
On lower Thrd avenue in the famous
and one-time much feared Bowery dis-
trict of New York is the only parrot
school on the continent. In this school
which is nothing more than the back
room of a bird fancier’s shop parrots re-
ceive their education.
Large numbers of these birds are
brought to New York each season most
of them fresh from the tropical forests
of South America. In this wild state
(screeching and screaming they are
purchased by the bird fanciers taught
to greater or less extent and sold all
over the country. In this parrot acad-
emy the birds go through a regular
course of training. They begin with
kindergarten methods and step by step
are promoted until they have com-
pleted the highest grade. When a
fresh lot of these birds is purchased
they are put in the room and for two or
three days left to themselves so that
they may become accustomed to their
surroundings. Then a parrot which has
already mastered the art of monosyl-
lable words is introduced and soon
teaches the whole class such simple
words as yes and no.
The next grade which is bisyllables
and sentences of the simplest character
is taught by a second parrot further ad-
vanced than the first. While in the third
grade where long words and more diffi-
cult sentences comprise the course the
teacher is also a parrot.
In the fourth fifth and sixth grades
the teachers are the bird fancier and his
daughter. The blackboard comes into
use and the birds are taught their alpha-
bet one letter at a time. Then to read
and spell simple words as “cat” and
“dog” simple sums in arithmetic and
telling the time of day. At this point
the general education ceases. The
brighter birds are selected and taught
to sing and dance. All parrots are not
musical and onlv a few of them become
INSTRUCTING THE CLASS.
really skilled musicians from a parrot’s
standpoint which is learning to sing
correctly to the accompaniment of a
musical instrument.
When asked about teaching parrots
at home the principal of this strange
school said:
“That’s eaagr enough if the bird is
bright and the teacher has some pa-
tience. All you have to do is to put him
in a dark room and keep repeat ing the
words until he catches them. After he
has learned two or three simple sen-
tences there is no need of keeping him in
the dark room during his lessons. He
will pick up things easily enough. But
as for learning to spell and to read and
tell the time of day and music it takes a
good teacher and amighty bright bird.”

TREES FULL OF ELECTRICITY.
Pecnllar Phenomenon Attending a Snow-
atorm In South Dakota.
A pecular feature of the late great
wind and snowstorm at Huron 8. D.
was the great amount of electricity in
the atmosphere. It was quite difficult
to operate telegraph instruments so
heavily charged with electricity w as the
air. A touch of the stovepipe with an
iron poker or other metallic substance
would result in sending a sharp current
up the arm and thousands of electric
sparks into the room.
Another peculiar fact w as the appear-
ance on the tips of tree twigs of bright
sparks of electricity. They were seen
in different parts of the city and
presented a strange and beautiful
sight. On touching the twig with
a finger the electric spark would
immediately be transferred from the
end of the twig to the finger and
there remain as long as the finger was
in contact with the twig upon which
the spark appeared. Remove the finger
and the epark would again take its
place on the tip of the twig and no
amount of shaking of the tree could dis-
place it.
