Since growing to its full size the brute is a terror to tho neighbors. Its master won't hear of its being chained up, contenting himself with shutting the animal in his bedroora before going out. This was done on* i day. but unfortunately for him Nico las Rargevo, alias " i he Devourer," had determined to make n professional call on M. Duchesne's apartment with in tent to burgle. Now, as this illus trious character had only completed three days at larpo after completing his ninth term of imprisonment, he was naturally unaware that such a pet as the orang-outang was tolerated in these particular rooms. Consequently, when the burglar was suddenly pounced upon by two hairy paws, he was somewhat surprised, and his screams soon brought help, with the result that N. Bargeve was drawn out of the room by his feet, in a very ig nominous fashion. He was taken to the infirmary, and it is reported that he has gone mad and now imagines himself to have been changed into an ope.—Paris Cor. London Post. HEROES OF WAR. From the Chicago Times-Herald.

Xlicrf In %o for Drinking \Vlltt*r \\ liU'll In I'-iiII of Oit'i'mx aml Impii ritit'tt. Everybody or ought to know, that at this time of the year it is the height of folly to drink water that has not been previously purified in some j way, either by boiling or by filtration. J Boiling is an effective way of freeing the water from impurities, aud should certainly be done where no better method exists, but a useful filter can be made so easily at home, at an al most nominal cost, that there is scarce ly any e\c use for a household not pos kessinp one. The homemade filter consists sim ply of an ordinary decanter, a lamp lass, such ns can be purchased any v\ here for a few cents, by \ ay of a fun nel, and a piece of sponge or cotton wool. Some people prefer cotton wool because it can be thrown away after a time and renewed at a nominal cost. If a sponge is chosen it ought to be taken out often, cleaned in hot salt v ate -and afterward rinsed in cold. The sponge or cotton wool is placed lor the distance of an inch in the lamp shade. This is then covered by a layer of tine white sand, which has been washed very clean, and placed in a line lawn bag. This must be packed through the top of the glass, and spread out to fit across by the aid of ti long pencil or a skewer. On top of the sand must be placed a j layer of animal charcoal which has been previously thoroughly washed by putting it in an earthen vessel and pouring boiling water upon it. 'This rannra charcoal si A N O . ffl IV ii HOMEMADE FII.TICR. layer should be at least an inch deep unci should be well pressed down upon the layer of sand. The filter is now ready for use. Water is poured into the lampshade and allowed to percolate slowly through to the decanter beneath. After a time the charcoal will get clogged and a little must be taken from the top and boiled for a few min utes and then spread out before the ' lire. It will then be as good as ever 1 p.nd can be thus cleansed indefinitely. From time to time, also, the whole ap- | pa rat lis will want cleansing, and the , whole of the charcoal, as well as the bag of sand and the cotton wool, or sponge, will have to be taken out and thoroughly boiled, or, better still, re placed with new material. Provided the filter be thus kept thoroughly clean it will yield as good results as any of the patent filters on i the market costing many times the value of this simple apparatus. —X. Y. Herald.

Remember that no woman can he lovely with a poor complexion, nor will cosmetics, however fine and expensive, delude the observer in the searching light of day, cautions the St. Louis tilobe.-Denioerat. The secret of a clear, beautiful complexion is perfect digestion, and in summer, especially, i'. light diet is sufficient for the indolent lives led by most of us during the heat ed term. Fruit, fresh and ripe, boiled milk, clear soup, whole wheat and rye bread are the be jt friends for ruddy cheeks and bright eyes. Loose cloth ing comes next.
