M F i i tor i HJ & TRAINING A MONKEY. CHICAGO WOMAN SATISFIES HER THIRST FOR KNOWLEDQE. Secure a Habj Monkey nml After tlrlnc Inj: It Up to Full Growth Conclude That tha Simian lUca In I'rone to Do Wrong. ONACITA IS THE cause of all sorts of queries propounded by the members ot the Lake View wo men's club, of Chi cago. In short, Donnclta Is being talked about, and soon all the world will know ot Donn cltn, for Donaclta'B mistress is preparing the manuscript which shall toll a scientific magazine all about the wonderful monkey which she adopted when It was but one month old, and made an object of constant study and scientific investigation. When Mrs. Benjamin D. Wiley, of No. 28 Waterloo court, Chicago, sent to Cen tral America for a youns 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-day the human fnmlly In habits, Instincts and intelligence. To this end she has aimed not to teach the creaturo sho has had under experiment any of the tricks so generally learned by imitation, but rather to ascertain how far by the natural process of affiliation, the untaught wild cieaturc could bo made to approach the human family. So from the day the monkey, at the age of one month, toothless and almost hairless, and fresh from the forests of Nicaragua, was deposited, a very sick and helpless bundle of weakly, moan ing monkeylsm 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 haa this little creature slept in a bed like 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? Some few profess to see a marvelous development, which places the animal alongside of its human kin, while others contend that "a monk's a monk, for a' that." Bo that as it may, an undoubtedly clever little bcastie is this capuchin monkey. Its brown eyes sparkle with Intelligence. Every phnse of feeling and emotion is by turn expressed In this creature's mobile features. Yet, not alone by facial expression nre its thoughts conveyed, for It talks In plain, understandable, monkey lan guage. This language. Mrs. Wiley says, 1b phonetic in character, and consists of 13 basic soundB. These, with their varying inflections, constitute the mon key's language. The same tone Is al ways used to express the same emotion, end from long familiarity with each tone and its inflections, the monkoy'3 mind upon any and nil subjects is clear ly discerned by Its mistress. Thus: a half 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 ns when a boy Is chasing her. When she is hun gry there is a plaintive note in E. with out inflection. When her hunger is satisfied, she expresses thanks by a soft, dropping Inflection to the same note. Although her own language Is purely phonetic, she Is quite mistress 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 me," and In no Instance was there any confusion of action and thought. The monkoy obeyed each command, though given In exactly the same voice n'nd In the same manner. There is one point, however, human like though she be In other respects, upon which Donacita radically differs from at least a goodly proportion of tho human family. She is devoid of all moral senEe Is absolutely conscience less. She steals and lies afterward about It in the most flagrant manner. Sho breaks every commandment with out a blush, or, so far as has yet been discovered, any sense or appreciation of her natural depravity. And all pre cept is simply thrown away upon her In this respect. After four years of un tiring effort to Inculcate in her prin ciples of right and imbue herewith a nice distinction between right and wrong, the truth must be admitted, she is irreclaimably bad and utterly devoid of all sense of moral obligation. True, she shows, like many another culprit, a knowledge of transgression, and ex hibits fear and a dread of tho conse quences of her actions, but of the moral obloquy Involved Donacita is Innocent of itj very name. Music of any kind or loud noire is her especial aversion. She will run shrieking from the sound of a hand organ, putting up her tiny hands to her ears to shut out all sound of tho hated noise, and will sit with a most comical look of distress on her face until the music ceases. Tho falsity of the old tradition that animals possess an instinctive knowl edge of the harmful properties of plants has had a practical demonstration by wikli IIOI Donacita, she, ono day, eaU 1 faa Wor ries of a poisonous vine tout Lpowlng In tho gnrden. For a tlmo hlAUfo was despnlred of, but prompt and Energetic measures, together with a stomach pump, saved tho little creature's llfo. Of her mistress sho Is Inordinately fond, refusing to eat or bo contforted in any manner In her nbsencc. The object next to her mistress In her nfjoctlons is a little orphan cat, and thli affection Is returned In due measure, albeit this tyrannical Donacita, through a pure love of mischief, sometimes occasions her cat friend much pain by extracting hlB whiskers, which she gravely uses as toothpicks. Is this fin do slccle monkoy .capable of reasoning? Mrs. Wiley asserts, after much study and observation, that It is not. She has mndo various tests and finally gives It as her opinion that the brain of her pot is ono lobed and Incapable of entertain ing two Ideas at the samo tlmo, honco the reasoning power Is wanting. EFFECTS OF CIGARETTES. Retnnrknliln Kiperlment Performed hj rrof. II. C Hiimpn. Some definite facts and figures show ing the exact effects of smoking clpnr ettes have at last been obtained by a scientist, who has experimented upon young college students, says the Now York World. This scientist Is Prof. H. C. Bunipus, professor of comparative anatomy at Brown university Tho Btudent to bo experimented upon first lay down on a couch, and his right arm, which was bare to the shoulder, was extended upon a low table, with the palm of tho hnnd upward. Prof. Bumpus then took up a narrow strip of bamboo about threo feet In length nnd very light. Upon one part ot tho wrist over n bone and In a place where it would bo steady a cork was fastened. To this the bamboo strip wns afllxed. Another cork was placed on tho wrist directly over tho vein, where tho pulse bent Is most easily folt. Tho end of the bamboo strip rested on this second cork and it rose nnd foil with each pulsation. This motion was plainly visible to all the class ot Brown university students who sur rounded Prof. Bumpus during his ex periments. The first record taken was the nor mal pulse of the student on the sofa. This fluctuated from 62 to 67 a minute, rising In ono Instance to 71. Tho total beats of tho normal pulse for five minutes was 332, or an average of 66 2-3. Tho Brown student on tho sofa then began to smoke a cigarette, "Inhaling" tho smoke, ns do nearly all cigarette smokers. His pulse Immediately Jumped up. Tho first minute It reached 75, which was a higher record than any normal pulsation could show for a single min ute. During tho first five minutes tho pulse fluctuated from 71 to 77 a minute. Tho totnl for tho whole five minutes was 37G. This showed that cigarette smoking made a normal pulso which averaged 66 2-3 a mlnuto Jump to an average of 75 1-5 beats a minute. Upon a second trial, and after wait ing three minutes his pulso went up to S3, making a total of 396, or an average of over 79 for five minutes. A third trial was then taken after the student had smoked two cigarettes. Ills pulso by this time remained steadily over 80. In one Instance It reached the extra ordinary height of 89 beats per minute. Tho total for live minutes was 420 beats, an average of exactly 84 beats per mln uto. It will thus be seen that tho normal pulse of tho student lying upon a lounge and unaffected by cigarettes, averaged CO 2-3 beats per minute, and that after smoking two cigarettes it reached an nvorago of 84 beats per minute. Tho cigarette smoking had added more than 17 beats per minute to tho normal pulse, an acceleration of al most 25 per cent. Each beat of the pulso could bo easily counted by means of tho rising and falling of tho bamboo strip, and Prof. Bumpus held a watch In his hand, while ono of tho Brown university students made tho record. After this practical exhibition of tho exact physical effects of cigarette smoking tho popularity of cigarettes has rapidly declined at Brown university. (Inn Maying Suitor Klllnd hjr Anothnr. Charles Carr for the past eight years has courted Mary Clementn at Colum bus, Ohio. Recently George Ross hns paid her attentions. All parties nre colored. The other night Carr had es corted her home. Ross went to the house about midnight and asked ad mittance. He was refused, and then broko In the door. A fight ensued until both were exhausted, and they took seats on opposite sides of the room. Each was afraid to sleep, and neither would leave the room. Mary left them thus when sho went to her work at 4 o'clock In the morning. About 6 o'clock Ross began to nod, and his head sank upon his breast. He was asleep. Then Carr struck him over tho head with a chair repeatedly. An hour later the police found Ross dead. Carr was ar rested. He says Ross threatened that when daylight came ho would end the watch by murdering Carr. Tho woman i was arrested and confirmed Carr'B story of tho threat.

"It Is not to my Interest to toll this to tho public," said a dentist to ft Now York Journal reporter yesterday, "but It la nevertheless n fact, which no den tal surgeon will undertako to gainsay, thnt there la scarcely ever any neces sity for a person to loso a tooth, no matter what alU it. If peoplo wero better posted In this matter fow would have artificial tooth, becauBO they would not havo their natural teeth ex tracted. While many dentists encourngo tho extraction of teeth because they can make much moro monoy by making a. set than by filling or 'treating' a tooth I do not do so. I trent people con scientiously, nnd, as you seo, I havo a pretty good trado. For instance, if ft tooth aches for no npparent cause, tho chances nro that It is what wo call a 'dead tooth.' Tho ncrvo Is dead. It should In that caBO bo 'opened' that is tho enamel covering tho bono on tho outer end should bo drilled off nnd ft steel probe forced through the fibrous bono as far as the root. If a bad odor ndhercs to tho probo when it is with drawn, that Is proof that tho ncrvo Is dead and thnt the tooth Is beginning to ulcerate. Tho nerve should be ex tracted with n hook probo, when It will bo seen to bo dark, Instead of white, Its natural color. An antiseptic should bo injected Into tho opening thus mnde with the probo, then a demulcent, and when it has ceased to gather pus or gas, or to bo painful, It should bo filled with a temporary filling, nndif nt tho end of say eight dnys tho pain has not re turned it can bo filled permanently. This tooth may last for many years. It is tho kind ot tooth which, when neg lected, swells a person's cheek, which old-fnshloned dentists havo at times cut in order to got at tho sent of tho trouble. "Ulceratod teeth can bo treated In n similar manner, with equally good re sults. This Is the khul of troublo which Is Is most prevalent and which has been tho cause of people losing moro teeth thnn any other ailment. "A decayed tooth that Is not painful, If properly filled, should last for years. And even If painful, It could bo pre served If treated ns above and filled when the pnln hns been dispelled. "Peoplo should have their teeth ox amlned by a competent and consclon tlons dentist occasionally, and ns soon as a cavity is discovered it should bo filled. "There is scarcely a tooth that cannot be saved by a good dentist. If a dentist advises you to havo a tooth extracted and you know it is not hopelessly gone, no matter how painful, go to another dentist and toll him that you want that tooth saved at all hazards. Ho will save It for you. This may not, from a mor connry point of view, bo business, but it Is tho truth." A NEW STORY OF QRANT. He Ilil Not Ilnve More to l!nt Than Tie Nceilcil. D. R. Garrison told a story to Gen. Schofleld at the Dent house which Illus trates to a certain extent the kind heartedness of Gen. Grant, sayB the St. Louis Republic. Grant wns a great lover of horses, and while he was pres ident he came on n visit to St. Louis and Mr. Garrison, nt that time president of tho old Pacific road, took him out to his farm. They started off In a buggy for a drive, and after going some distance met nn old man going along on a horse. The man was In his shirt sleeves nnd wore a straw hat, but Grant recognized him, and, stopping the buggy, ho got out and, walking up to the old man, put out his hand nnd said: "Hello, Undo Ben! How nro you nnd the old woman getting along?" Tho old man wns Undo Ben Snpplng ton. Ilo welcomed tho president nnd said that he was getting along very well. Ho remarked that they wore hap py ns long as they had enough to eat and a plpo nnd a little tobacco. "Uncle Ben, wouldn't you like to bo postmnster of Meramec township?" asked tho president. Uncle Ben said ho would not object and Grant shook him by tho hand and said: "God bless you and your wife, Unci Ben, I think of you often." When Grant got back In tho buggy the tears were streaming from his eycB and he said to Mr. Garrison: "Poor old Uncle Ben! Ho has a big heart. I re member," he said, "when . I nnd my wife, living in that house over there, did not havo any more to cat than wo needed, and old Uncle Ben would como around to the house at night and leave a basket of provisions on our doorstep. Ho was nfrald to como and give thorn to us, thinking that ho would possibly hurt our feelings. God bless his memory!" Uncle Ben was made postmaster and nfter living to a ripe old age ho joined the great majority and was followed by Grant a few years ago. A Mailer or l'atlenre.

Onlr On I.nntr Crown I'rlnrn Among the Mixed- Marriage t'nriad Itoyal Famllle IttiMla, Auntrla, flreece, Germany and Kngland AITerted. UROPK'S heirs ap parent seem to be In a very bad way. In at least three of tho great powers the men who stand next by right ot succosslon to tha throne Itsolf are enfeebled, suffer ing from very present diseases, and one In on the brink of tho gravo. In sovernl other nations tho princes noxt In line to the crown nre sickly, and It Is only by a careful suppression of tho real truth thnt distressing ru mors are not circulated about them. It Is truly a most remarkable stnto of nffalrs for tho royal families of Europe. The most serious and tho most potent danger lies in the Russian empire. George, grand duko and czarovltch, is now dying In a villa in a remote corner ot tha Caucasus ot consumption, breathing painfully with but ft slnglo lung. In Austria tho Archduko Ferdinand Francis, heir presumptive, Is In n most precarious state of health, he too being PRINCE OF SWEDEN, a victim of consumption. For years past, ever since the death of Rudolph, orown prlnco, In 1889, the hope of Aus tria hns centered in this young nephew of Emperor Francis Josoph. HIb father lo the heir apparent, it Ib true, but Archduko Charles Lou la, next In line to the throno, is now an old man, having beon born in 1833, older and with far less hope of living, so feeble is he, thnn Is the emperor hlmBelf. King Humbert of Italy docs not find In his only son and heir a man of an Iron frame and a masterful will like his. Of an entirely different calibre is tho young Prlnco of Nnples, a slight, dellcato boy, yet in tho early twenties, who has so delivered himself over to the obsequious flnttcry nnd tho cajole ments ot tho foreigners In Naples and Romo thnt he has weakened his frnmo by dissipation, and bids fair to havo a very short lease of llfo, Indeed. His condition ia even more serlons than Is hinted nt In the Italian news of the day. If tho remaining roynl families arc carefully Investigated, a strange fact may bo roted that thcro Is, with ono exception, no heir to a throno In Europo who Is strong nnd lusty and glveB promlso of a vigorous reign after the present ruler passes nway. Tho possi ble exception Is Prlnco Royal GnstnviiB of Sweden, a young man of thirty seven years of age, tho son ot King Oscar II., who married Princess Vic toria of Baden, n granddaughter of famoiiB old William I. of Germany, and who has developed no vices and nc qulred no mnlndles. This prlnco Is an energetic, nthletlc young man, hnn llt ernry tastes, nnd will In all likelihood enjoy a long life. For years the King of tho Hellones, George I hns been tho victim of n disease of tho kidneys, a hereditary ENGLAND'S AND RUSSIA'S HEIRS APPARENT, complaint, and he has unsuccessfully visited Alx-les-Halns for trentment. Thorn is little question thnt Prlnco Con stantino, his eldest son. Is In tho in cipient stagos of this disease, though thoro is nothing very marked or serious ns yet. The little Crown Prince William of Germany, despite the military regime his enthusiastic father, William II., has made him undorgo, Is wonderfully delicate. Though the oldest of thnt big family of boys that makes up tho first household of Germany, this 13-year-old has not nearly tho vital force the dash and the audacity that his brother next In age, Eltel, possesses. Eltcl is his superior in general health, weight and height, and the general Impression in Germany ia that Eltel will bo tho next Emperor. It Is noticeable among those who ill it have seen the boys playing together that Eltel qulto appreciates his great er power of body. Ho Is n splendid specimen of young Gormnny, tail, vig orous and strong of arm and leg, whllo young William 1b nlmost wenk and puny beside him, thin nnd nnrrow chested nnd easily tired. Belgium Is ruled over to-dny by Loo pold II., born In 1835, a still vigorous mlddlo-agcd man. Ho shows no signs of bronklng down, nnd Is ono ot tho healthiest aovorelgiiB of Europo.

Whllo thcro 18 no Indlcntlon of nny apo dal disease, tho prlnco is a mnn who han lived so well and so activoly that In mlddlo age his constitution 1b con siderably Impaired. He would hardly bo a fair risk for a well conducted In surance company. His son, the Duke ot York, hna never entirely recovered from tho attack of typhoid fever ho had somo years ago, though ho hns alwayB boon in better physical condition than his brother, tho Duko of Clnronco and Avondnlo, over was. Nor Is tho now baby, Queen Vic toria's great grandson, ns healthful a child ns could bo wished. It Is gonor nlly believed that ho will not sit upon tho throno. ' Tho czarevitch had n terrlblo fall from tho maintop ot a ship to tho deck during tho trip around tho world of tho threo princes (himself, the present czar and Prlnco Gcorgo of Grecco) In tho summer of 1891. This fall seriously In jured George's splno, nnd ho hnd to dis continue tho trip and return home. Then consumption, n malady now ho- redltnry In tho fnmlly of tho Romnn offs, set in. In vain ho sojourned In Athens and Algiers. Flnnlly ho BOttlod , down In tho Caucasus, whore ho haB lived since tho closo of 1892. I The romnnco alluded to concerned a pretty telegraph girl of Tlflls, Mile, j IbcIi, whom George ardently desired to marry, nnd probably did, morganntlcal- ' ly. It was only upon tho stern com- . mnnd of his father, tho cznr, thnt ho fln nlly gavo her up. After tho lata czar's I death his condition grow rapidly worse. Lato this spring ho oxprcssed a strong deslro to seo onco moro tho palace of , Peterhof, wbero ho had been brought , up. Tho change of cllmato proved serl- j ous for him, especially as tho Poterhof . palnco nt that time had fallon Into an unsanitary condition. Ho then was tnken to Denmark to visit his grand father, King Christian. Tho cllmato ' of Donniurk proved qulto bb dangerous for him as tho cold of northern Russia, PRINCE FERDINAND, and materially ha&tcncd his coming death.

Tho story of the Hnpsburgs, the royal house of this empire, liaB been unhnppy, for epilepsy has pursued tho entlro fnmlly nnd seized mnny of Its members. In 1S88 everyone of ninety eight archdukes and archduchesses of this fnmlly had that dread disease In somo form or other. That consumption should have seized Francis Ferdinand, who, since tho death of Rudolph, has been the Idol of the Austrian people, is rcmarkablo, tor hla life has been a vigorous one. For years ho haB been nn untiring officer in the Austrian nrmy, nnd noted for his skill nnd endurance. He spends tho days sit ting silently in n tent pitched In a little garden on tho bay of CIgnla. His sole amusement Is looking out upon the sea, savo on tho infrequent dnys when he takes a short donkey ride. He will spend tho winter in Egypt and he may never return from that country. It seems to bo general debility that is sapping away the life of young Victor Emanuel, prince of Nnples. Of late ho has been cruising about the Levant in hopes of getting strength. Though very young -ho was born In 1869 this prince has made himself n distin guished person In Italy. His greatest populnrlly has been, not among his own people, but in tho foreign colonics of Nnples nnd Rome, where he has cut a wide swath among tho pleasure lov ing higher class ot those merry Italian cities. 1 ruined to Sit Up.
