ono charge of "drunk und dlsordetly."
Magistrates, clerks, missionaries nml
others wIiokc dally duties oblige them
to frequent the metropolitan police
courts say tlint the trouble Ib Increas
ing. Mr. Wynne Uaxter, the well
known coroner.lms Just been testifying
on the subject.
"Generally speaking," he says, "the
question of drunkenness enters Into
half the Inquests I hold. My usual
question Is, 'Was the deceased worse
for drink?' and the reply given In an
mironcerned tone, Is: 'Oh, she bad a
drop,' as If It were the proper thing to
do. I believe there are countlcBS num
bers of hard-working men who would
have good homes If they only had
good wives; but the women arc never
ut home to meet them or have any
thing ready for them after their day's
work. The husband goes quietly to
bed, while his wife Is still out of doors
di Inking with her friends. Monday Is
essentially a day for drinking with the
women. Many men are unaware that
their wives take their husbands' Sun
day elothes on Monday morning to the
pawnshop, pledge them, and spend the
money In drink through the week. On
Saturday, when the man brings home
his money, the clothes aie taken out
ngaln."
The chaige sheets at most London
police courts are almost always heavi
est on Mondays, the proportion of
women being ludicrously large. It Is
common to see thirty women ebaiged
at a single court in one day. At each
metropolitan pollen court the Church
of England Temperance society main
tains a missionary whose duties con
cern the reclamation of women ad
dicted to drink. In one of Its annual
reports the London Police Court Mis
sion, as the organization Is called,
presented the following statements:
"At the North London Police court In

Clerkenwell (u much poorer district)
HD per cent were the victims of drink.
One of the missionaries said: "One
woman, aged S!), and twelve over 80
years of age were charged witn
drunkenness. The youngest drunken
case was that of a girl 15 years of age.
There have been as many as live girls
in oue day charged with being drunk,
who weio only 17 years of age. In
one day forty-seven women have
passed the bar, charged with drunken
ness," "I have been dealing with a large
number of drunken women in my dis
trict," says another missionary. "One
class is composed of low women, but
there nro many of what ma be called
the. lower order of working people.
Wo often have the wives of respecta
ble mechanics and of men employed
la tho city. It Is easiest to handle the
younger women, of whom we have a
number from 17 to 20 years of age. I
think drinking Is increasing among
young mnrrlcd women from 18 to 2-j,
porno of them having very good hus
bands. We have a number of young
jjirls. Ono girl of 15 was fouud one
inornlng In the street senseless. She
had been drinking with organ grind
ers. Tho :nother was In court and was
terribly put about."
In dealing with these girls and wom
en tho London magistrates are puzzled
what to do. They say It Is no use
tending thorn to prison or reformatcry
homes, because It only hardens the u.

The neighborhood Is a tespectnblo,

tho evening when we called for the
llrpt lemon squash, nml got n glass of
"four-ale." They were too busy to
mix 'li Inks. In our compaitment
there were nine women, or fifteen, If
you count two baby girls In arms and
four little misses brought by their
mammas. One was being treated.
The mother, quite a decent body, with
a silk mantle and Kid gloves, called
for a hnlf-quaiiern of Irish win in, and,
swallowing thtee parts of it. handed
the glass to the child with a "here

trough would be Is the bar. The beer
Is pumped from various kegs under
the bar as wanted, by means of a sys
tem of levers resembling the brakes of
a locomotive engine. Hy means of
continually pulling on these, barmaids
get a good muscle and a tellable thirst.
The barmaids all drink; and this is
what one of them said, because ve
were a cliecihil, rozy family party all
complaining of bad luck.
".My father began life as a draper,
and made a little money. And then
took a little public house, and. unfor
tunately, lost it through the cup.
When I wns 14 I went to take a situ
ation in a public house. I have been
in the trade six or seven years. I be
gan to drink because I was so tired in
the morning. I felt the need of spir
its before breakfast. The hours weio
late and we bad to get up enrly. We
were allowed to have anything to
drink at our lunch and dinner time,
and sometimes In the evening before
going to bed. As a rule, brandy Is
what we begin on. I never knew n
barmnid who did not drink It."
The talk turned to the subject of
women frequenting the bars. It was
agieed they had as much right to do
so as men. The presence of the bar
maids makes it cozy and homelike for
tho women drinkers.
It was quite a domestic circle.
Some were sitting down and some were
standing up. There were only four
men of us, and the ladles' tongues
waxed eloquent. Some lubricated with
four-ale, some with Scotch cold or Irish
warm, and some with gin. The theme
wns the villainy of husbands.
"He comes home boosy every night,
and I'm left without a brown to buy
a bloater! I'm that wort It that my 'art
sinks and the spasm Is that bad I have
to take a drop of somethink. Heaven
knows I've been a true wife to him.
and he beat mo last night for popping
his Sunday trousers!"
The next house was not so busy. I
could count but eleven women cus
tomers. One of them was drinking
under peculiar circumstances. I no
ticed her as I entered, talking with a
man, presumably her husband, who
seemed to be crippled, and who was: in
an invalid chair which she had drawn
up to a side door. 1 followed hei lu
and sho ordered three penn'orth of
warm rum for him, and while it was
preparing she had half a quartern of
gin for herself and drank It. The
last house was an exceptionally largo
place, employing seven barmaids and
tbreo men. 1 counted n hundred and
twenty customers present. Among
l hem there were thirty-six women, one
.a proud young mother, with twin
baliies in long clothes. Carrying one
in each arm, she would have found It
difficult to raise her gin gliiBs to her
lips had not a kind neighbor or two
been piesent to assist her. We walked
out. There Ib nothing of the pretty

lady and gentleman of "the old school"
would bo prodigiously shocked at some
current fashions. One of the queerest
illustrations of tho change of things
was noted In a famous cafe on tiie

and live story buildings have in most
places disappeared. Most of them, too,
now have doors. In former times
when the danger from marauding In
dians was gieat a town had very few
houses, often only two of thini. These
houses were very large and every fam
ily had its own rooms in the common
house. The, only entrance to these
looms was by means of a ladder
through a trap door in the roof. In
case of attack the women and children
weie all shut up in tin innermost
rooms, while men lemained on the roof

The pueblo of Taos Is one of the best
reminders of the old times. It lies
about eight miles from the lllo

l.'t.dOO feet high. Through tho mid

mountain stieam which falls not
oftener than once lu half a century.
There are 400 Indians here, about equ
ally divided on the two sides of tho
eriek. The higher of the two princi
pal houses have live stories, the other
lias four. They have tho appearance
of iriegular, stepped pyramids. Of
course there are many rooms In the
first story and a fewer number In the
stories above, which can have neither
sunlight nor air. These dark rooms
are used for storage, principally of
corn, wheat, oats and beans.
Occasionally one can still find a
house which has no door, but they are
not common. Moct of the houses have
a low door hung on iron hinges.

With spade and hoe the earth and

to dry in the sun These bricks are
left lor two days and then are ready
for use A Mexican Is paid ftl for
making I. ono bricks, cadi fifteen b
ten by four Inches.
In building a bouse these bricks an
contented together with adobe. Tin
walls aie smoothed outside and Inside,
and within are covered with a wash
of white or light drab color. This
wash is made of earth found In tin
hills, and when fresh It gives the walls
a neat appearance. For the roof large
poles are llrst laid on, then smaller
ones, then a layer of weeds, and lastly
adobe. This makes a roof which may
let thiough a few drops when the first
rain of tin season comes, but after
that It Is water tight.
.lust outside the house are the ocns
In which the bread Is baked. They
are odd-looking, dome-shaped tilings
fiom four to six feet lu diameter iiiatlu
of adobe. One small opening Is left
at the bottom for building the tire and
puffing In (he bread, and another
smaller one near the top for the smoke
to come out. In this oven a lire Is
built and kept burning until the walls
are heated through and thiough. Tho
tiro Is then drawn out, and the line
ashes are removed with a wet rag on
the end of a slick. The bread Is put
In with a wooden shovel, and both
openings carefully closed. As the walls
retain the heat for a long time the
bread bakes quickly and well.
I have seen dogs sleeping in these
ovens, fortunately not in the one In
which the bread which I eat Is baked.
Hut perhaps 1 have not yet caught the
dog which sleeps lu that particular
oven.
The stumpy lit lo ehlnineys which
are sion all oxer the houses are of
adobe, too, but they are often topped
with a broken pottery vessel. At the
fireplace below tho cooking Is done.
A lit lo Iron stand, a frying-pan and a
few black pots, with a knife or two,
are all the cooking utensils. Hut they
are enough for such simple cooking;
some ol the poor families of Indians
have only tortillas and coffee three
times a day. Mix flour with wnter,
put In a little salt, cook the mixture
over the fire and you have the tortil
las. The coffee, of course, lias neither
milk nor sugar.
Hut I am living with ono of the first
families In town. Here I get fat
pork and ono fried egg three times a

and even butter and chow chow. Some
of then things, 'to bo sure, ure bought

and then placed In the hands of com
petent fnslructois One of the first
polnlH to be ditermiiieil Is whether the
monkey is smarter than the dog. II
Is argued that tin dog has acquired
much or his Intelligence by living for
generation after generation in the so
ciety of man, and that his Intellect Is
overestimated. Tin monkey him net
had this advantage.aud. of course, Is
handicapped. It Is very dllllcult lo
keep monkeys in uipthity In a north
ern (llin.ite, and they rarely breed In
cages so that the question of Improv
ieg the strain and giving tho monkey
a fair chance to grow up with the
country Is quite ((implicated.
The scientist puts forth the conten
tion that the monkey is a much more
amiable denture than people think
and that It Is not from malice or a
spirit of mockery that he seems to Init
iate the movements of man. but simply
Hint being built on the same principle
as man ho naturally conducts himself
in a similar manner.
lu training monkeys It Is Impoifanl
to select the right sort, there being as
much difTeience in flu mental and
moral makeup of monke.vH as there Is
between those or the wild man of
llortieo and Cbauncey Depew. The
very big monkeys show the most ense
and almost anything can be done with
them In the educational line, but (he
trouble Is that as soon as they grow
up I hey become tierce and dangeious,
only tin young ones consenting to
work. The baboon and the maiidill
make promising pupils, however, and
should be accepted in the university.
Theoretically there is no difference
in the training of monkeys and dogs,
but practically then Is a great deal on
account or the savageness of the for
mer. Hut the monkey has mine
chances than the dog in Hie Hue of
gymnastics because be has four hands
and besides has a natural fondness for
calisithenics.
Monkeys pretend to be ery much
bored when being drilled. Their only
idea seems to be to dodge their task.
They know perfectly well what ou
want them to do, but they sneak nut of
It If possible. They never accept with
good grace the role of public enter
tainers. They are very active In put
ting Into practice whatever mental Im
pressions they receive and not satis
fled with merely doing as they were
taught they make new combinations
and experiments of their own.
It Is just this listless genius which
makes it hard (o train (hem. lu many
respects (he monkey has the artistic,
non-plodding temperament. He is al
ways trying to get away and always
has to be put through his paces or he
will avoid the Issue. It is very dlfli
cult to make him perform unless you
have a string or chain tied to htm. In
bib love for loafing he excels even the
spring poet.
You can get a monkey's menial
measure much more quickly than thai
of a dog. He is a natural-born acro
bat when he wants to be. Sometimes
a bribe in the way of a date or u tig
will make lilm work. Ho is much
more susceptible of bribery than a dog.
Some monkeys wnlk upright without
much persuasion, but others have to
bo tapped on the feet before they will
do so. They easily learn to pick
things up or to walk the tight-rope.
When they do gymnastics the instruc
tor claps his hands when ho wishes

ly this position of confidence into which
the country physician Is now lifted Is

to prescribe for the sick soul as for (he
