If yoa want to make old TJrsus Major smile just say "Pea nuts" In a loud, clear voice within a latuoin or two of his willtnc ear. If you wish to gee the nearest approach to amiability which the black bear of the New York Zoo is able to assume just insert a nice fat goober within pawinc distance of the rough old fellow. You touch the peanut, the bear will do the rest. There is a great deal cf human nature in the blc care, and I somet'uies wonder that 1 tome of the people who hnd so much fun watching the antics of the bears do not for get that they arc not looking in a mirror. It is the sort of nature which we often see in Ihe street cars and which is so near-sighted But the she bear did. She learned then if she never did before, how much more blessed it is to give April fools thau to receive them. For a moment she paused, as if in sad reflection. Then she turned npou that bad, bad boy such a look ot pained surprise that, it he hnd not been very bad, must have filled him with remorse.

If you wish to see how human the bears can be invest a nickel in a bag of peanuts and indulge them in a little game of grab. A Keen Eye for the Dainties. The big he bear and the little she bear and all of the rest of the bears will form in line before you and look as friendly as if they really thought something of yon. Four black muzzles will protrude between the bars, and four pairs of little eyes will beg jut as hard as eyes can do it. How keenly those eyes will watch the peanuts, her mouth. She strove to wipe off her tongne with her paw, but the misery re mained. "With a wild howl of pain she took the center of the cage, and for the next five minutes that cage seemed to be full of fly ing near, ou never saw a bear in so many different places lit once. Satisfied "With Themselves. Outside of your capabilities in the peanut line the bears do not seem to take any in terest in you. They are the most conceited lot of egotists in the Zoo, and apnear to find themselves all Fufficient for their own amusement. Now and then you will find a lion or tiger eyeing you with speculative glance, as if you were a sweet morsel to be rolled under the tongue, but the bears have eyes only lor what you may bring in your hands or pockets. Now and then one will indulge in greased pole climbing and Japanese balancing, but it is not done ap parently so much for your edification as tor the acrobat's own amusement. He does not look for applause nor care f or criticism, and he lets you understand the fact without any nonsense. I sometimes think that the Polar bear wonld like a chop or a cutlet from my sacred person, but I may be mistaken about it. I have certainly seen specnlation in his eye when the sealions called, and I know ttiat tne sound must bring up dreams of his own dear Greenland home and the iat young seah on which he nsed to sup.

It almost seems as if they were cry ing from sheer envy and spite, just as hu man folks do sometimes wbeu they see their fellows raking in the pot. Then place a peanut on the dividing line between the paws of the lady Jbear and the first gentleman bear. Hoitv' toltv, what a time there will be ! The two black faces will look yearningly at the morsel, and the little eyes will fairly roll as they measure the distance and irr to determine which has first grab. Perhaps the big- he bear will make a hesitating and lurtive pass at it Then the she bear will reach forth her paw and claw it toward her. The he bear will loos cross at this and expostulate, and perhaps swear a little; it certainly sounds that way. A Case of Henpecked Husband. "Here, you," he will say, "return that goober or I will box your ears." "I'll do nothing of the kind," replies tne lady. "A pretty cheek jou haeto make any such demand upon ine!" Then follows such a snarling and snap ping and showing ot teeth as you never dreamed of. The big he hear raises his paw as if to strike his greedy consort, and vnu expect to see the latter wiped o!Tofihe face of the earth. But she does not weaken QtK f0s7T the sociability of his black cousins german. You never fee a laughing crowd about his cage, and as for peanuts but I suppose he would not take them at any price. Well, a bejr is a bear, and that is the thing in a nutshell You cannot make him a gentleman, do what you will. You may send him to school or college, teach him to dance and to talk French; yon mav curl his fur and manicure his paws; you may intro duce him to the best society and try in every way to improve his manners, but in the end you will have what you started with a plain, rude American bear without a redeeming trait, saving his grease and hide. As a terrible example to cross men and scolding wives he is a tnmnltnous suc cess. I trust, ear boy, that when you gaze upon him it will not be "as in a looking glass." p. g. tSfThe Dirpatch'M electric election buTletita trill be flashed tvery 15 seeo'dtfrom The Die patch'l building Tuesday evening. In these days of so much talk of Tam many Hall one often hears ot the "Tam many King." The Tammany Bing was a conspiracy of the leaders of Tammany Hall, then one of the Democratic organizations of Jfew York City, to plunder the city by means of overcharges on account of the new county Court House. The Tammany So-' ciety is an old political organization in ."Sen York. William Marcy Tweed was the leader of the society, and bv careful manip ulation ho had obtained from the Legisla ture a charter for the city, conferring great power upon the city officials. The chief officers of the city government were his as sociates; he himself was Commissioner of Public i Works, and his intimate associates filled other high municipal offices and occu pied seats ou the bench ot the Supreme Court. The robbery was done by means of over charges on the part of the contractors, which overcharges were divided among the members of the ring. The Court House, which could have been built for 53,000,000, cost the city 512,000,000, and much other work was done in the same way, so that the city debt was increased from about 573,000, 000 in 1869 to 5117,000,000 in 1870. One of the ring, becoming dissatisfied with his share of the plunder, disclosed the con spiracy to the "Sen York Timet in the sum mer of 1871. The result was the downfall of the ring, the flight of several of the members, the arrest, conviction, imprison ment, escape, recapture and "death of Tweed, the death ot others, the removal from the bench of three judges, and in the end the purification of politics. What Is money? Pateesojt. John Stuart Mill defines it as "a mere contrivance for facilitating exchanges," a definition followed by another British writer, Jevons, in his book, "Money and the Mechanism of Exchange." .Money is defined usually as a "measure of value;" it is something by the possession or surrender of which we measure the value to us ot other articles. It need not be gold or sil ver. 'In Homer 8 times, oxen were money; the Abyssinians used salt; the natives of the West Coast of Africa used sea shells; the North American Indians used shells; the early settles in Virginia used tobacco; Marco Polo says that the Chinese used paper not paper redeemable in coin, but paper, made valuable by the Great Khan's orders. So, really, money is anything that is generally accepted as of value, which serves to do away with trading "in kind" or barter; it makes no difference whatits nature is, so long as it is something which is ot value to the people at large. ever assumed the name Glaukopis as a pseudonym or pen-name; so that if Glaus topis was really anyone, we must confes our ignorance of the fact.

Blackstone says every citizen should make it his business to become familiar with at least the underly ing principles of the la.-of his land. And this suggests that Blackstone is about as good a work as "U. G. B." could select for his first reading. The only objection is that the work contains much that is obsolete. Along with it should he read some good American notes, say those of Judge Shars wood, who was one of Pcnnvslvania's great est jurists. To read Kent's Commentaries is an allopathic prescriptiou, as it is put up in four big volumes; but in it will be found references and citations that will suggest a course of light reading. There are works of later date, written for the exact object the correspondent has in view. These are not intended for mn who propose to make law a life business, but for men ot leisure and culture who recognize a weakness in this part of their mental equipment! Any first class book store can secure what is needed. Is there really a mountain in Xe w Guinea, 32,000 ioethigliT S. A. D. Probab.y not. New Guinea is not yet thoroughly explored, and unknown mount ains, especially mountains that have never been 'seen, are always much higher than those that have been measured. Look, for instance, at the Grand Falls of Labrador, that were measured a year ago, and de scribed in two maznzines within a few weeks. Two years ago they were upwards of 2,000 feet high; w hen they were meas ured, they were found to be about 300 feet high. Of course It is possible that a mount ain 32,000 feet high may exist in New Guinea, but it isn't likely. If it did exist itwould have to stand up rather lonely, without any near neighbors in size; it might do so; but hitherto all high mount ains have been found "flocking together," as in the Himalayas, where there are a dozen mountains higher than any others on the globe, all in a small space ot territory; and a3 in South America and Mexico. Can n foreigner enlist in the navy without having been naturalized; S R. Yes; or in the army. Uncle Sam is will ing that anybody should fight for him, even Chinamen. There are special provisions in the law, making naturalization easier to soldiers than to ordinary persons; but they do not apply to sailors. Sailors must ob tain their papers as if they were ordinary landlubbers. CATARRHAL ASTHMA Its Distressing Symptoms as De scribed by Mrs. Gregory.

The little she bear is an excellent catcher, lfyouusethe baseball method of convev- ing peanuts to ner. She will open her little red throat at you in roseate invitation and never make and error. Unlike some other denizens of the Zoo, Mine. TJrsa, does not care for the shells of the peanut, but cracks out the kernel and rejects the husk with all the deftness of a gallery gcd. It is the most comical thing In the world to tee her big shelling ap paratus at work and the air of snug com placency with which she gets outside of the small but succulent morsel and puts outlier tongue for more. Once upon a time a bad, bad boy went up to the park with an April fool peanut in his pocket. It was all peanut on the out tide, but very much red pepper on the in. It was a whited sepulchre filled with snuff, hellfirc and misery. It was na.ugb.tr and it was not nice. A Peanut I'oll or Red Pepper. With her usual enterprise the little she bear came to the lront and won the trick. Her little white teeth came down on that thell like a thousand of brick and let Iooe the cayenne filling.

When was the bittle of Waterloo fought, and how many men were engHged in Itt The battle of "Waterloo was fought on Sunday, June 18, 1815. It began about 11:30 in the morning and lasted rather more than eight hours, that is, the Imperial Guard ot the French army broke and raised the cry: "Save yourselvcsl" at about 8 r. m. "vVel lington had about 68,000 men and Napoleon about 70,000. At the beginning of the bat tle both armies occupied heights of land; but the British remained on the defensive, while the French, to attack, had to cross the v.alley between the lines. The French made five distinct attacks: 1, on the British right, to cover the main attack; 2, on the lelt; 3, a cavalry attack; 4, Key's cavalry attack on the British center, when the farm house of La Have Sainte, covering the center, was captured from the British; and 5, the charge ot the Imperial Guard. 'The losses were verv heavy. The British lost 13,000, the Prussians 7,000 and the French between 23,000 and 30,000. Which nas fie larger number of inhabi tants, London or New TorkJ F. I. S.

The latter city has, at the outside, about 1,800,000 inhabi tants (the Federal census ot June, 1890, gave it 1,515,301; the municipal census of November, 1800, gave it 1,710,715); London, in 1891, had a population of 4,'JJ1,43L Were mills, tenths of a cent, ever coined in tins country? S. J. N. No; the smallest coin ever strnck in this country was a half-cent, which was issued between 1793 and 185J. China is the only country that has a coin so small as our mill; the Chinese "cash" is worth about one tenth of a cent. X . i- -,, 'Af 1 ' 5i tm Jk TA js.

S. L Brook Farm was an industrial associa tion, a social Utopia, composed of a num ber of advanced thinkers, whose object was so to distribute manual labor as to give the members time for intellectual culture. It was'located in West Eoxbury, near Boston; it began in 1841, and came to an end by the agreement ot "all concerned" in 1846. George Kipley was the leader of the com munity; others in it besides Hawthorne were "Margaret Fuller, Bronson AJcott, Thorcau, Charles A. Dana, George Villiam Curtis, FUery Channing, as well as others whose names are famous in American liter ature. Every member worked on the farm for the common good; the plan was excel lent on paper, but did not work well in practice. Some of the originators dropped out, few recruits joined, and finally the community was dissolved voluntarily. Hawthorne places the scene of the "Blitbedale Eomance" at the Farm. , Who painted a picture of river that was a mile longT the Mississippi B.M EtEVxs cents for four-ply linen cuffs, 2100 fine, at Sailer's, corner Sinlthfield and Dia mond streets. i John Banvard, who was born in New York in 1814; he was a druggist's clerk for some time, and practiced drawing and paint ing as he could. In 1840 he began his "Panorama of the Mississippi," which he painted himself; it occupied several years, aud when finished was three miles long, not merely one mile. He exhibited it in many cities of the country and abroad. He sug gested to General Fremont the scheme of passing Island No. 10 in the Mississippi, which Grant carried out; and in 18G1 paint ed a picture, "The-Vision," from which the 'first chromo made in this country was taken. He wrote upward of 1,700 poems, published several volumes of poetry, and produced two plays with some success. He diedatWatertown, & Dak., on May 16, 189L How many whites and how many negroes are tueie in me souineiu statesT Header. By the bulletins of the eleventh census (that of 1890) in 17 States there were 15, 493,323 whites and 6,944,915 negroes. The States are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, .District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,Louisiana,Maryland,Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Vir ginia. In Arkansas and Mississippi the percentage of increase of the negroes be tween 1880 and 1890 was greater than that of the whites, while in Georgia the per centages were precisely the same. In all the other States the whites increased pro portionately much more than the negroes. Why were the Confederates called "John. nies" by the Tankeesin the late war? Calistro. We find no absolute reason for the name being applied to the Confederates; but the Century Dictionary says that the names John, Johnny, Jack, are applied col loquially and familiarly to a person whose real name is not known, or to express in definite number.. A cognate expression 'is "every man Jack." The Federals were "Yankees," so that they had a nickname already; the Confederates had no nickname, and early in the war were hailed as "Johnnies," in default of any more defi-nite'colloquialism.
