In a room where the monkey* Is
kept there is a door with an ordinary
latch on It. Whenever the monkey
was released in It she would jump
and climb about, examining each ob-
ject with ‘fleeting but minute at-
tention," the psychologist observed.
One day she hang from a pipe by
her hind legs, ^jtnd reached the latch
with her front feet. 8he lifted It
carefully and noticed that the door
^ opened. Dr. Furness says there was
* ho trial or error; she succeeded In
the first attempt. Which makes the
feat appear all the more remarkable
when considered from the standpoint
of the psychologist.
For a monkey-like Peter, trained
as he was by careful hands, this
would have been an ordinary monkey
achievement. But to the animal be-
longing to Dr. Furness, which has
never been taught to do anything of
this sort, the simple unlatching of a
door, taken together with the acts of
preparedness, go far beyond the
threshold of the ordinary accomplish-
ments of such animals, according to
Dr. Wltmer. . X
“She was never known to hang by
her hind legs In examining or play-
ing with any other object in the
room,” said Dr. Wetmer. “8he may
have conceived the purpose of open-
ing the greenhouse aoor, thus mak-
ing an intelligent attempt to Imi-
tate the persons whom she had seen
going In and out of this door. She
has never imitated any action which
was Hot direct interest to herself.
Properly speaking, sue does not
blindly Imitate at all; she doeB only
what Interest and instinct lead hpr
to undertake. y *
Another little incident in her short
career as the possession of Dr. Fur-
ness tends to emphasize her Imita-
tive or reasoning ability. Besides
learning to open the door of her own
private apartment, she picked up the
idea of turning the knob of another
door that led Into ^ her room, and
since the door was' partly of glass,
she could look through it Into the
room adjoining.
Some visitors were 1n this outer
rgom one day and as they were ap-
proaching the monkey’s quarters, she
evidently figured out that It was up
to her to be hospitable, and so she
turned the knob of the glass door
and threw It wide open for them to
enter. Then .she sat upon her haun-
ches watting for them to come In
and “look her over," as persons were
want to do.
After the monkey had acquired the
knack of opening the door from her
own room she made such a practice
of it that Dr. Furness was compelled
to punish her for it. When the mon-

unlatching the door. It required al-

Df. Wltmer. referring to the whole

“Since Herbert's time we b*ve

necessarily the same as hnman In-

by studying him at moments when
his whole Interest !b aroused.
“A t^ind instinct to do something,
no matter what', or a blind curiosity
may have Inspired the first opening
of the door. Of the blind Impulse

anthropoids and in children, and
even in men and women, 1 have seen

the act came to be a conscious and

Failed in Health
"My mother died six years ago,” writes Miss Ruth
Ward, of jerseyville, III., and left me to care for six
children. I had never been strong; and this, with the shock
of her death, was too much for me.
“I failed in health. I was tired all the time and did
want to go anywhere, nor care for company. I had
headache all the time and such bearing-down pains.
“A very dear friend advised me to take Cardui, as H

With these two vessels gone there
was practically no navy left the Tex-
ans. In November of the same year
the congress of Texas Authorised
Samuel Williams to contract for an-
other navy. Baltimore navy yards

tractors were to build one ship, two
brigs, and throe schooners, folly
armed and munitioned, In June;
1839, the vessels arrived at Ualves-
ton; they were the San Jacinto, San
Antonio, Ban Bernard, the Colorado,
the Charleston and Potomac, Gen-
eral Hamilton bought another
schooner with his own funds, the Za-
vala, and added her to this fleet. It
is rather of interest to note here that
the Texas politicians of the day rant-
ed considerably about the expendi-
ture this great! ?) and useless navy
had involved, costing as it did the
sum of *800,000. To Justify the at-
titude of the Texas government the
secretary of the navy naively took
the stand that "in u very short time
this navy will pay for itself for its
captures and reprisals will afford the
government a source of revenue equal
to the amount expended."
Good, old days. On the Mexicans
the acquisition of this powerful navy
had a decided effect, for the depre-
dations on the gulf ceased. With the
annexation of Texas by the Cplted
Stales the Texas war fleet became a
part of the Lotted States navy.

That the republic of Texas had a
full-fledged navy in her days is not
generally known and for this reason
It may be of interest to note that a
Movement about to be started may
result in the near future in the erec-
tion of a monument that will fitting-
ly commemorate the fame of the
men who guided its destinies during
the few years of its existence.
Three small sailing vessels com-
posed the first navy of the republic
of Texas. They were the Invincible,
Captain Brown; the Brutus, Captain
Hurd, and the Independence, Captain
Hawking. The organization of this
naval force had been effected during
the years 1825-6 and for that reason
it had an opportunity to take part in
the Texas war of independence. Dur-
ing April, 1836, the Invincible went
on a cruise off Brazos de Santiago
and falling in with the Mexican frig-
ate Montezuma in command of Cap-
tain Thomas, had a set-to lasting two
hours which resulted In the Mexican
man-of-war being driven ashore and
left in a sinking condition. So bad
was the fire of the enemy that the
only injury the Invincible received
was in her rigging. This wae hastily
repaired, and another vessel having
qome in sight chase was given This
vessel proved to be the brig pocket
from New Orleans to Matamora*. and
freighted with provisions for the Mex-
ican army. The Pocket wm captured
and taken IntoNStalveston as a prize.
Although the battle of San Jacinto
put an end to all hostilities on land,
the Mexican navy continued for some
time to molest Texas shipping, in
April. 1887, the Champion, a veseel
carryiug provisions and munition of
war for the Texas army, was inter-
cepted and captured b.v a Mexican
man-of-war, The Julius Caesar, with
a cargo worth *30,000 was also tak-

returning from his mission to the
United States government, where he
had asked for the recognition of the

These highhanded acta on Utp part
of the Mexican government caused
the Texas government to adopt a
policy of reprisal. On MaY 10. 1887

Food Trust Methods.
"The American would like to be-
lieve that the Armour's. Swifts and
.Morrises were the innocent victims
of circumstances, says the New York
American, "and that the gourd-like
growth of ‘Mg^ousiness had caught
them unawares, and placed them in
dizzy seats of power whose responsi-
bilities they had tried lo grasp, but
could not.
It would be a pleasant compliment
to human nature if one could say that
the magnates of the beef trust really
think that what'they say is true
that their business methods have noth-
ing to do With the great damage that
Is being suffered by the people, and
that high prices are due to the course
of nature and not to monopoly But,
unhappily, it Is wholly impossible to
believe in the sincerity of the trusti-
fied packers.
The American showed yesterday
morning, for example, that the Amer-
ican beef trust was selling beef In
London at prices ranging from t to
!l cents 16-wer than Its prices in New
York. It showed also that the great
packers are trustified In the National
Packing company with an immense
capitalization, controlling not only the
meat supply, but also the supply of
butter, eggs, cheese, poultry and oth-
er farm products.
The ice and Refrigerator Blue Book,
an official statistical 1 ide circulat-
ing among the five or t$:. hundred cold
storage plants of the trust, sets forth
that there are more carcasses of cat-
tle, sheep and hogs stored in the ice
plants than there are living persons
in the United States
This cold storage food supply, doled
slowly out to the market In such man
ner us to maintain an approximation
to famine prices—includes *25.000.000
worth of fish, nearly 2,000,000,000
eggs, more than 60.000 tons of poul-
try, fruit worth *50,000.000. and po-
tatoes, canned goods, milk, butter and j
cheese worth *100,000,000 more
This Inconceivable quantity of food
Is stored by the trust at times when,
by the taw* of nature, the various
commodities are cheapest, and is kept
for months or year* Thus the trust
Stands between nature and the people,
tutd makes Itself-their pitiless provi-
dence
Such facts should suffice to shame
the packers out of their complacent
pose. It should be hsrdly necessary
to add that their extortionate profit*
•re a matter of their own open rec-
ord For example, a statement made
Just year by ths Armour company, for

tion of *10,000.000.
