There have never been more than three, and only one of these lived more than a few weeks. “I would give $10,000 for a gorilla in good condition,” said the superin- tendent of a noted zoological garden, “and we could get the money back in a few months owing to the crowds of people who would come to see it. A gorilla would be a great drawing card, but gorillas cannot be got for money. They grow sometimes to 400 pounds in weight. Their home is a small strip of marshy land on the west coast of Africa. The strip is perhaps 250 miles long and 100 miles deep, and the gorillas stay back from the coast and are hard to get. Once out of their native element they die from climatic changes and lack of proper food.”— Detroit Free Press. Caste In Music. “Sometimes it s a disadvantage to have a musician with a reputation at the head of a hotel orchestra,” said a “We found this out mot long ago, when people from the middle west, who are among our best patrons, wanted our orchestra to play at a wedding in which they were in- terested and which took place in a private house. As the company got a little warmed up they decided they would have some dancing, so the host- ess asked the orchestra leader to play. ‘Would he? Not on your life. He was an artist, he was, and it was not his business to descend to playing for dances. The result was that one of the guests had to play the piano, and we almost lost the trade of the family ‘we were trying to be especially nice »—New York Sun. Heine Made Goethe Smile. + When I visited Goethe, in Weimar, and stood before him, I involuntarily glanced at his side to see whether the eagle was not there with the lightning in his beak. I was nearly speaking Greek to him; but, as I observed that 'he understood German, I stated to him in German that the plums on the road ‘between Jena and Weimar were very good. I had for so many long winter nights thought over what lofty and pro- found things I would say to Goethe if ever I saw him. And when I saw him at last I said to him that the Saxon plums were very good! And Goethe smiled.—Hefnrich Heine, “Reisebilder.” Tibetan Incense Sticks. The most valuable incense sticks’ fn China and those which seldom, if ever, are imported into this country are those in the manufacture of which Ti- betan incense is used. These sticks are made almost exclusively for the im perial court, which requires them for all its ceremonies. The sticks are long and thin and are never allowed to be wholly con: sumed by the court. They are careful- ly extinguished when about three inch- es remain. These remnants are either sold or given by court officials to friends or foreign visitors. The cheap* est variety of the Tibetan incense stick comes in thin sticks of great length and costs from 214 to 5 cents a stick. The larger and more costly sticks range in value from §$1 to §2. The Chinese have a tradition or a theory that the smoke from one of these cost- ly Tibetan sticks, if the genuine Tibe- tan incense has been used, will rise to a great height without being affected by the wind, no matter_how strongly it may be blowing.—New York Herald. Africa’s Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is a British colony on the west coast of Africa. Its cli- mate is notoriously unhealthy,- the heat and moisture being excessive; the coast is lined “with unhealthy swamps and shallow lakes, while the peculiar rock of the country is said to give off, under the influence of the air and moisture, large quantities of hydrogen gas. The native towns are crowded and dirty, intermittent fevers and oth- er diseases being always present. These are peculiarly fatal to Euro- peans, though the natives do mot suf- fer so much. The whole region is more or less a gold producing country, but at present the value of the terri- tory is chiefly due to the profusion of vegetable products supplied by the rich soil. Cocoanut and palm oil, bread fruit, Indian corn, yams, sweet pota- toes, limes and oranges are only some facket and -voluminous sash. In all this they will perform: the national ince. throughout a blazing afternoon. all Mall Gazette, = Changed His Mind. “A southern senator was alone in his omce one morning when a middle aged woman entered, bringing with her a wild gleam in her eye. “Can you lend me $20?" she asked, calling the senator by name. “I'm sorry,” replied the lawmaker, “put I'm afraid I can’t this morning. T'm pretty hard up.” ‘The visitor fidgeted in the chair ‘which she had taken without invita- tion. “I need $20 very badly,” she continued. “In fact, I've just escaped from a Junatic asylum.” The gleam in’ her eye got wilder, and she began to wave her hand bag in long swinging motlon before her. “I just got out yesterday,” she said. “That being the case,” concluded the senator somewhat hastily, “here’s the twenty.”—Washington Star. The Absentminded Record. Duluth is the home of a woman who in’ the line of absentmindedness has the whole world beaten to a finish. She is absentminded from: the time she wakes up until the moment she goes to sleep. “Emily,” a friend asked her on one occasion, “how old was your mother when she died?” “I'don’t know.” replied Emily sweet- ly. “You know she died long before I was born.”—Popular Magazine. Life’s Crucible. 1t was sald of Diderot that in his in- variable optimism he was like one of the old alchemists, who always found gold In his crucible because he had first put it there. That is what the instructed soul learns to do, for life consists always of what we put into out of many other valuable produc-| tions of this territory.

Marine Yarn. Flipper—And how did your boat Nick-luk Cave. Nlckajacll was once the name of an important Gherokee town on the bank of the Tenriessee river. The Cherokees, who had aided the British in the Rev- olutionary . war and had been well pald for their assistance, clustered their wigwams at this point about 1780-82, and the village was known ae one of the' “Chickamauga towns.” The meaning of the name is' now lost, though it was probably of Cherokee origin, as it occurs in the annals of the tribe a8 a man’s name. This name 18 also given to a creek and to a very remarkable cave, the latter being situ ated very near that point of the south- ern boundary of Tennessee where it is intersected by the line separating the states of Alabama and Georgla.

The art of puttering consists of do- ing for yourself slowly and inefficient- 1y what you can’'pay some one else to do for you quickly and well. It is hard work that you do not have to do, strenuous loafing that invites ithe soul. The putterer. works in pure love, and if the product prove a-poor thing it 1s at least his own.

The putterer makes laws and breaks laws and breaks the laws he makes. He produces startling variations from type. An inspired fool, he 1s a true creator.—Atlantic. A Blind Painter. The wonderful sixth sense supposed to be possessed by the blind is not a fable. I know a blind musician. He is a genius.” “That’s not so remarkable. I know a blind painter.” “Impossible.” “Not at all. His work is perfect.” “A blind painter? His work is per- fect? Why, what does he paint?”’ “He paints blinds, you chump.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer. London and New York. New York will never give in the same degree as London the impression of being a real city. It is on too big or too small a scale for that; its rivers are too wide—they break the sense of continuity.

Hastings, according to one who knew him well, “gambled so that not even the Bank of England, backed by the Rothschilds, with the mines of the Transvaal as additional supports, could have withstood the strain.” Yet even he protested at Long’s when charged 2s. 6d. for a whisky and soda. The proprietor declared that this had always been the charge. “About time it was altered, then,” retorted the mar- quis. Just before his death Hastingy, remarked to a friend: “I've made a pretty hash of my life. About all the good I've ever done was to bring down the price of a whisky and soda at Long’s.”—London Express. Henley and Steverrson. 'W. E. Henley once met Robert Louis Stevenson and found his friend- dis- tressed because he was not a Voltaire or a Dumas, though he had an equip- ment which ought to have made him their peer. Stevenson put his “failure” down to the weakness of his lungs. || ¥YPerhaps you are right, Louis,” said Henley. “I've always felt that if [ had not been a blessed cripple I could have taken the earth in my hand and hurled it into the sun.” Tonight.
