TAfT IKGS M CO .ROCHfcSTER.M.Y FHE fc 1 HABITS OF THE GORILLA HHE MOST FORMIDABLE ANIMAL IN EXISTENCE. Gorillas Live in Family Group*— Their Appearance and Great Strength—Fierce Fighters. Tbe gorilla is probably the most for midable animal in existence. Imagine a I man six feet two inches in height and measuring four feet and a half across the shoulders. Qive him a girth about the chest of seventy inches, and arms long enough to reach nearly to his ankles when he stands erect. Make him muscu lar in proportion, with huge canine tusks and a jaw strong enough to crush a rifle barrel. Suppose him to have no neck, an immense body, very short bow-legs, long black hair alt over his body,a flat nose and fiet like hands. There you have a fair de scription of a gorilla of the largest size. Ordinarly these animals do not exceed five feet in height, with a breadth of four feet across the shoulders. Much as they resemble men when grown,they are much moie human in appearance during the early stage of their being, having a like ness to babies in many ways that is most striking. Gorillas live in family groups, each consisting of a male, one female and her young. They do not frequent the same sleeping-place often, usually spending the night where they happen to be. Choos ing a full-grown tree to build a lodging in, they bend the branches together at a height of twenty feet or more, thus mak ing a sort of bed, which they cover with twigs torn off for the purpose or with leaf-moss. The male spends the night crouching at the foot of the tree, against which he places his back, in this way remaining on guard to protect the female and young in the nest above from attack by leopards. These powerful carnivora are always ready to devour any species*of ape they can capture. In the daytime the gorilla family roams about the forest seeking food. In walking the animals totter along in a swinging gait, supporting themselves partly by resting the knuckles of their hands upon the ground. Much of their locomotion, however, is accomplished by climbing from tree to tree. They are very skillful climbers, and if one branch does not seem sufficiently strong to bear their weight, they will use three or four at once. As soon us a young male reaches maturity a conflict for the mas tery ensues between itself and its father, which results in a final settlement of tho ownership of the family, the weaker one being either killed or driven away. The male gorilla arrogates to himself the same right not to labor which is as sumed by human savages. Ilis business is lighting, exclusively, and he does not usually condescend even to gather food, his wife and children collecting fruits and other delicaaies for him to devour. If they are not sufficiently nimble in this employment he shows his resentment by growling and boxing their ears. When he fights he stands erect upon his hind legs, tho hair on his head and the nape of his neck bristling, his fright ful teeth displayed, and his forehead wrinkling with a fearful scowl. At the same time he beats his mighty chest re sounding blows with his fists and utters most terrific yells of «'Kh-ah, kh-ah!" which makes the forest re-echo. He par ries blows with the dexterity of a prac ticed boxer, and his method of attack is usually to seize his human adversary by the arm, crunching the limb in bis teeth; or he throws the man down and rends him with his huge canines. The best thing that the hunter can do at close quarters is to permit the beast to seize the barrel of the gun, which it will at once carry to its mouth. Thus directed, a bullet is likely to be a settler. Other wise, the gorilla will quickly crush the gun barrel between his teeth and proceed thereupon to wipe out his opponent. To run away is an impossibility in the thick woods. The coarse black hair which covers tho gorilla becomes gray in age,and this fact formerly caused a mistaken belief to the effect that there were two species. It is said that the animal will assail the ele phant and drive it away by striking tho latter's trunk with a club, knowing that to be the sensitive point of the probos cidian. Probably the gorilla would bo a fair match in strength for a lion, sup posing that it came to a match between them; but there are no lions in Oorilla Land. The gorilla has thirteen ribs on each side,whereas a man has only twelve; it has also one more vertebra in its back bone than man has. Philosophers have been disposed to attribute the progress of mankind beyond the anthropoids to his possession of a serviceable thumb, upon which all his ability for manipulation mainly depends. Many of the great apes have most human-like hands,save for the thumb, which is not nearly so well de veloped, and lacks certain important muscles. For example, a gorilla cannot possibly perform the operation known as "twiddling." His muscular strength, however, equals that of at least half a dozen of the most powerful men. The capacity of his chest cavity is more than one-third greater than that of a man, which contributes enormously to his en durance. The rudimentary tail found in anthropoid apes not infrequently occurs with human beings, and this develop, ment is said to be hereditary among the Niam-Niams of Central Africa and also among the southern Malays. As for the prehensile foot, anatomists have called attention to the fact that the foot of a young baby has power to grasp and is often used to pick up and hold objects very firmly.— Boston Trantcript.

A New Haven (Conn.) man has worn the same coat for thirty-five years. __ _ Nuts and Nutrition. A good story is told of Dr. Dio Lewis, who wished to make a marked impression on the minds of his boarding school girls. They teased for nuts at dinner, and were promised all they wanted. The next day nothing but nuts appeared on the table. "Now, girls," said Dr. Lewis, "eat all you want and you will be as well off as if you had your usual dinner; but nuts taken after a heavy meal are too much for the stomach to bear, and surely bring on indigestion." The Plowman says: "Scientists have pronounced nuts an excellent article of diet. In this case they are not to be eaten as a desert, but as tfcc main staple of the ineal. Nut trees beautify a lawn and serve for utility and ornament at the same time. The cost of planting and growing is small. The market for nuts is assured. They may be called one of the staples of com merce."—New York Herald. 1-u Cirippe. On December 19th, 1 was cotiflned to my room with the Grippe. The Treasurer of the "Commercial Advertiser" recommend ed that I should try a bottle of "Ayer's Cherry Pectoral," as it had cured him of the same complaint. I sent for a bottle, and in two days I was able to resume my business, and am now entirely cured. As I took no other remedy, I can but give all the credit to the "Cherry Tectoral," which I gratefully recommend aa a speedy specific for thl» disease. Yours very truly, F. T. Hahkisox. Not the Merriiuuc, but the Virginia. There never was a Confederate iron clad of any other ironclad named Merri mac. The Confederate ram was the Vir ginia always. She was constructed upon the hulk of an old United States frigate called the Merrimac. Why people should goon calling the Virginia the Merrimac we cannot see. History and fact—not always synonymous—agree in this case. The Confederate ironclad was the Vir ginia, not the Merrimac.—Norfolk (Va.) Landmark.
