cause of all sorts of
queries propounded
by the members ot
the JjBkt View wo
men’s club, of Chi
cago. In short,
Donaelta Is being
talked about, and
soon all tbe world
will know of Dona
clta, for Donaelta’*
mistress Is prepsrlng the manuscript
which shall tell a scientific magazine
Ell about the wonderful monkey which
Bbs adopted when It was but one month
old, and made an object of constant
study and scientific Investigation.
When Mrs. Benjamin B. Wiley, of No.
tt Waterloo court, Chicago, sent to Cen
tral America for a young capuchin
monkey It was for the purpose of test
ing, by actual experience and observa
tion, how near the monkey, the evolu
tionists' avowed human progenitor, ap
proached to-<lay the human family In
habits, Instinct* and Intelligence. To
this end she has aimed not to teach the
creature she has had tinder experiment
any of the tricks so generally learned by
imitation, but rather to ascertain how
far by Ihe natural process of affiliation,
tbe untaught wild creature could bo
made to approach the human family.
Ho from the day the monkey, at the
,»ge of one month, toothiesn and almost
Tialrless, and fresh from the forests of
Nicaragua, wan deposited, a very sick
and helpless bundle of weakly, moan
ing monkcylsm In Its new mother's
arms, It has been subjected to the same
maternal care a child would have re
ceived
For four years has this strange re
lationship been kept up. For four years
has this little creature slept In a bed
Ilk* a little Christian, fed on the diet
the family fares on, been taught and
had moral principles instilled In its
diminutive self. For four years has It
been petted and scolded and spanked
and praised and loved—like any other
darling.
And with what result?
Rome few profess to see s marvelous
development, which places the animal
alongside of Its human kin, while others
contend that "a monk’s a monk, for a’
that.”
He that as It may, an undoubtedly
clover little beastle Is this cspuehln
monkey. Its brown eyes sparkle with
Intelligence. Kvery phase of feeling
and emotion Is by turn expressed In
this creature’s mobile features. Yet,
not alone by facial expression are Its
thoughts conveyed, for It talks—In
plain, understandable, monkey lan
guage. This language, Mrs. Wiley says,
y Is phonetic In character, and consists of
It basic sounds. These, with their
varying Inflections, constitute the mon
key’s language. The same tone Is al
ways used to express the same emotion,
and from long familiarity with each
tone and its inflections, the monkey’s
mind upon any and all subjects Is clear
ly discerned by Its mistress. Thus: a
hall’ note In C Indicates contentment of
mind. The same note, with a sharp,
rising Inflection, shows that her lady
ship’s mind Is in a purturbed condition.
The same note, ending In a trill to G,
Indicates extreme danger, such as when
a hoy Is chasing her. When she Is hun
gry there Is a plaintive note in K. with
out Inflection. When her hunger la
satisfied, she expresses thanks by a
soft, dropping inflection to the same
note.
Although her own language is purely
Dhonetic she is auite mlslress of the
English language, so far as understand
ing it goes!, tone apparently being no
factor therein. To demonstrate that
her speech was understood Mrs. Wiley
uttered in exactly the same tone of
voice different commands, such as,
"Dona, shut the door;” "Dona, leave
those grapes alone;” "Dona, come to
Uis,” and in no instance was there any
confusion of action and thought. The
monkey obeyed each command, though
given In exactly the siume voice and in
Uje same manner.
' There is one point, however, human
like though she be In other respects,
upon which Donaclta radically differs
from at least a goodly proportion of the
human family. Hhe Is devoid of all
moral sense is absolutely conscience
less. She steals and lies afterward
about It In tbs most flagrant msnuer.
gho breaks every comuiaudment with
out a blush, or, so far as has yet been
discovered, any sense or appreciation
ef her natural depravity. And all pro
sept Is simply thrown away upon her
to this respect. After four years of un
tiring effort to Inculcate In her prln
elpiee of right and Imbue her with a
nice distinction between right and
wrong, the truth must be admitted, she
Is Irrecialmably bad and utterly devoid
sf all sense of moral obligation True,

The falsity sf the old tradition that
animats possess an Instinctive ha»wl
edge «f the harmful properties of plants
has had a practical «tsn»eB»trnit*»n by
Donarlta, she, one day, eating the ber
ries of a poisonous vine found growing
In the garden. For a time her life wae |
despaired of, but prompt and energetic
measures, together with a stomach
pump, saved the little creature's life.
Of her mistress she Is Inordinately
fond, refusing to eat or be comforted In
any manner In her absence. The object
next to her mistress In her affections Is
a little orphan eat, and this affection
Is returned In due measure, albeit this
tyrannical Donaclla, through a pure
love of mischief, sometimes occasions
her cat friend much pain by extracting
his whiskers, which she gravely uses
as toothpicks
Is this tin d« slecle monkey capable
of reasoning?
Mrs. Wiley asserts, after much study
and observstlon, that It Is not. Hhe has
made various tests and finally gives It
ns her opinion that the brain of her pet
Is one lohed and Incapable of entertain
ing two Ideas at the same time, hence
the reasoning power Is wanting.
EFFECTS OF CIGARETTES.

Prof. M. t:.' Hiimpti*.
Some definite facts and figures show
log the exact effects of smoking cigar
ettes have at last been obtained by a
scientist, who has experimented upon
young college students, says the New
York World. This scientist Is Prof.
If, C. Rumpus, professor of comparative
anatomy at Brown university.
The student to be experimented upon
tlrst. lay down on a couch, and bis right
Hrm, which was bare lo the shoulder,
was extended upon a low table, with
the palm of the band upward, Prof,
Rumpus then look up a narrow strip |
of bamboo about three feet In length \
and very light.
Upon one part of the wrist over a ,
bone and In a place where It would (»<• |
steady a cork was fastened. To this ;
«v.4. t.nmlion Kirin u/mu ufftvptl Annth#*i
cork was placed on the wrist directly
over the vein, where the pulse heat Is
most easily felt.
The end of the bamboo atrip rested
on this second cork and It rose and
fell with each pulsation. This motion
was plainly visible to all the rlsss of
Brown university students who sur
rounded Prof. Bumpus during his ex
periments.
The drat record taken was the nor
mal pulse of the student on the sofa.
This fluctuated from 62 to 67 a minute,
rising In one Instance to 71. The total
beats of the normal pulse for five
minutes waa 332, or an average of 66 2-3.
Tbe Brown student on the sofa then
began to smoke a cigarette, "Inhaling” 1
the smoke, aa do nearly all cigarette 1
smokers. Ilia pulse Immediately
jumped up.
The first minute It reached 75, which
waa a higher record than any normal
pulsation could show for a single min
ute. During the flrat five minutes the
pulse fluctuated from 71 to 77 a minute j
The total for the whole five minutes
was 376. This showed that cigarette j
smoking made a normal pulse which j
averaged 66 2-3 a minute Jump to an j
average of 75 1-5 heats a minute.
Upon a second trial, ami after wait
ing three minutes his pulse went up to
83, making a total of 896, or an average
of over 79 for five minutes.
A third trial was then taken after the
student had smoked two cigarettes. His ;
pulse by this time remained steadily j
over 80.
In one Instance It reached the extra
ordinary height of 89 beats per minute.
The total for five minutes was 420 beats, j
an average of exactly 84 beats per min- !
ute.
It will thus be seen that the normal
pulse of the student lying upon a [
lounge and unaffected by cigarettes, |
averaged liti 2-3 beats per minute, and |
that after smoking two cigarettes It
reached an average of 84 beats per 1
minute. The cigarette smoking had I
added more than 17 beats per minute to i
the normal pulse, an acceleration of al- j
most 25 per cent.

"It Is not to my Interest to toll this t»

It la nevertheless a fact, which no den

that there la scarcely ever any neces

have artificial teeth, because they
would not have their natural teeth ex

While many dentists encourage tba
extraction of teeth because they can
make much more money by making a
set than by filling or 'treating' a tooth

A NEW STORY OF ORANT.
ft* (fid Not liar* More to Kat Than Ha
Saadet
D. R. Garrison told a story to Gen.
Schofield at the Dent house which Illus
trates to a certain extent the kind
heartedness of Gen. Grant, says the 8t.
Ix>ul* Republic. Grant waa a great ’
lover of horses, and while he was pres- j
Ident he came on a vlalt to St. f/>uls and
Mr. Garrison, at that time president of j
the old Pacific road, took him out to his ;
farm. They started off In a buggy for
a drive, ami after going some distance
met an old man going along on a horse.
The man was In Ills shirt sleeves and
wore a straw hat, but Grant recognized
him, and, stopping the buggy, he got
out and, walking up to the old man,
put out his hand and snld: "Hello,
Uncle Ben! How are you and the old
woman getting along?"
The old man was Uncle Ben Sapplng
ton. He welcomed the president and
■aM that he was getting along very
well. He remarked that they were hap
py aa long aa they had enough to eat
and a pipe and a little tobacco.
"Uncle Ben, wouldn't you like to be
postmaster of Meramec township?"
asked the president.
Uncle Hen said he would not object
and Grant shook him by the hand and
said: "God bless you and your wife.
Unci* Ben, I think of you often.”
When Grant got back In the buggy
the tears were streaming from his eyes
and he said to Mr. Garrison: “l'oor old
Uncle Ben! He has a big heart. I re
member," he said, "when I and my
wife, living In that house over there,
did not have any more to eat than w#
needed, aud old Uncle Hen would come
around to the house at night and leave
a basket of provisions on our doorstep.
He was afraid to come and give them to
us. thinking that he would possibly
hurt our feelings God bless his
memory!”
Uncle Hen was made postmaster and
after living to a ripe old age he Joined

of Emperor Francis Joseph. His
father Is the heir apparent, It Is true,
but Archduke Charles Louis, next In
line to the throne, Is now an old man,
having been born in 1833, older and
with far less hope of living, so feeble

the young Prince of Naples, a slight,

Rome that he has weakened his frame
by dissipation, and bids fair to have a
very short lease of life, Indeed. His
condition Is even more serlons than Is

If the remaining royal families are

may be noted that there is, with one
exception, no heir to a throne in Europe
who Is strong and lusty and gives
promise of a vigorous reign after the
present ruler passes away. The possi

Phllllppe, Count of Klanders, his broth

has no sons.
Ho far as Great Britain Is concerned,
It has often been remarked that H. R.
W. the Prince ef Wales, can hardly be
regarded as a man of fins physlqus
and likely to live many years longer.
While there Is no Indication of any spe
cial disease, the prince Is a man who
has lived so well and so actively that
In middle age bis constitution Is con
siderably Impaired. He would hardly
be a fair risk for a well conducted In
surance company.
His son, the Duke of Vork, has never
entirely recovered from the attack of
typhoid fever he had some years ago,
though be has always been In better
physical condition than his brother, the
Duke of Clarence and Avondale, ever
was. Nor Is the new beby, Queen Vic
toria's great grandson, as healthful a
child as could be wished. It Is gener
ally believed that he will not sit upon
the throne.
The czarevitch had a terrible fall
from the maintop of a ship to the deck
during the trip around the world of the
three princes (himself, the present czar
and Prince George of Greece) In the
summer of 1891. This fall seriously In
jured George's spine, and he had to dis
continue the trip and return home.

While tho czarevitch Is to-day tho

1s being directed more and more to
wards Duke Francis Ferdinand of Aus
tria. The story of the Hapsburgs, the
royal house of this empire, has been
unhappy, for epilepsy has pursued the
entire family and seized many of Its
members. In 1888 everyone of ninety
eight archdukes and archduchesses of
this family had that dread disease In
some form or other.
That consumption should have seized

she dislike the smell of tobacco she will
not allow him the most transient whiff
of the most refined cigarette, and, like
bar brother with bis victim, she teaches
the children to despise their father by
ths frank contempt with which she
treats him and the way In which she
flouts his opinion and denies bis au
thority. If she be more affectionate
than aggressive, she renders him ri
diculous by her effusiveness. Like tbs
"Sammy, love" which roused Doan Al
ford’s reprobation, sha loads him wltb
silly epithets of endearment before folk,
oppresses him with personal attentions
and treats him generally as a sick child
next door to an Idiot. All out of love
and Its unreasoning tyranny she takas
him Into custody—In public as In pri
vate life—and allows him no kind of
freedom. Robust and vigorous as bo is,
she worries over his health as though
he were a confirmed invalid; in the
I heyday of his maturity coddling him as
! If he were an octogenarian bordering
on second childhood. She continually
uses the expression, "I shall not allow
my husband to do so and so," or, "I will
make my husband do thla and that."
Never by any chance does she confess
his right to free action, bound as he Is
In the chains of her tyrannous affection.
In the end she makes him what she has
so long fancied him to be—a backbons
lesa valetudinarian, whom the sun
scorches to fever and the east wind
chills to pneumonia—one who has lost
the fruit by “faddlng" about the flower.
