Do IllordzeYS Throw Stones?
A ecientific traveller inlaid* was cautioned
not to go near a certain landelip on theshore
of a lake, =the monkeys would throw stones
ot him. This advice, noterelly enough, only
made him the more dealrous to visit the vote
As I appros.thed the landslip, 1 new A
number of barna monkeye =eh to the sides
end ecrose the top of the alip,and preseatly
pieces of loosened stoiie came tumbling down
where 1 atop& 1 fully eatiefied myself that
this was not merely aceidentel, for I die.
tinotly saw oue monkey industriously, with
both fore -paws and with obvione malice
prepense, pushing the loose shinglee off the
rock.
I then tried the effect of throwing stones
at them, and this made them quite angry,
ansi the number of fragments which they get
rolling was epeedily doubled.
Tide, though it does not amount to the
actual throwing of objects by monkeye as a
means of offence, comes very near to the
same thing, and, Makes me think that there
may be truth in the stories of their throw.
ing frnit ab people from trees.
At all events, the general statement that
the'aet of throwing things is never perform-
ed by any animal except man is certainly
not eorrect, as I have myself seen recently

It 'seems strange to me why the various

The past few years have about demon-
strated that tarred. paper ranks next to
wood as a valuable material for building
chicken houses. The silo experience of late
years has proved that for wooden silo build-
ings tarred paper is practically indispen-
sable. The use of tarred paper is becoming
so universal that there is hardly a good
farm 'in the country where a roll of it cannot
be found. Its use lessens the lumber bills
materially. lt appears thet many thick-
nesses of boards are used simply to keep out
the air, The tarred paper will de this
work equally well.

A Perpetual Railway Pass.
A most singular case came before Judge
Allem of the Supreme Court, Boston, for
decision. It appears that in 1836, when the
Boston ansi Rrovidence Railroad Company
was ehartered, Mr. john C. Dodge, of Attie -
borough, conveyed a portion of his land in
consideration that he and his family should
ride free over the railroad as long as the land
was used for railroad purposes. A grand-
daughter of Mr. Dodge claims that she is
entitled to the privileges named in the
deed, and that the word family meant
" descendants " of the grantor. The railroad
tompany demurred on the ground. that the
remedy of the plaintiff, if auy, is at law,
and not in equity. Judge Allen overruled
the demurrer, and expressed an opinion that
under the deed the Boston and Providence
Railroad Company would be required to
carry free the descendants of Mr. Dodge for
all time.

Thrift in State of Maine.
Albert Peale of Lewiston, Maine, in a
letter to the Maine Pnrnier tete%
I propose to tell ti few things that T knom
in regard to farms in this section. * * *
Adjoining the farlts on which I live,. there*
a hum of a urea, with name *tut, barn
ood, house peer but liehitable, land good
or e smell trataness, that has been urged
upon me for $0. On another tido of mo
farm of 200 acres, buildings good, land
good, with, an unusually prom -min fruit
prospect. The owner will sell for a atun
that 1 forbear to tante, as his IS an ereep.
tional ease of discontent. These within three
miles of Phillips village, on a good road.
Running parallel to the road on which I live,
about a mile distant, there is a road leading
slow/ a high ridge of exotica laud on
which there are eix farms, with broad
fields that are mowed with a teething,
good oreharde, with good buildinge, ample,
neat and well kept. I was lately told that
all these farms were for sale. Since then
one of them has been sold, a farm that ought
to carry twelve head of cattle and a hnn.
dred sheep, for MO. The former owner is
one of our smartest men, lant he was bound
to get out, and sold as he did because he
could not get more, Onthe river road, two
and a half miles below Phillips' village,
there is a farm with 100 notes Intervale with
upland, the buildings ample, requiting
alight repairs, that a few years ago was
bought for $2,500. A few days ago it was
sold for 51,500. The farm below this, the
Saab Intervale farm in the region, a few
years ago was rated at $3,500, I am in-
formed that it can now be bought for 52,.
500. Another, an upland farm, five miles
from the depot, some 100 acres very
good land, not excessively stony, 50 acres
that eau be plowed in one field, the barn
the best and most costly of any in the
region, the houee as good as the average on
the best farms in the State, and an acque-
duet bringing water to house and barn, and
this can be had for two-thirds the cost of
the buildings alone. And these, I think,
are a hair average of the quality mid prices
of farms that are offered for sale, after throw-
ing out a few that are not worked as farms,
but are turned out to pasture or forest.

dition of things ao ie here shown to exist in

The Panama Canal.
The Enginzering News publishes an anti. .
de on the "Actual Status of the Panama
Canal," giving the results of is recent expert
examination of the entire length of the can-
al, and accompanied by a progress profile,
showing the amount of work done and un-
done to January 1 of the present year, both
for the sea level and lock canal.
The profile shows that the work which is
anywhere near completion is about eleven
miles ot dredging on the Atlantic end and
&boat a mile at the Pacific end. On the re-
mainder of the work the proportion cllies is
very small in comparison with that undone.
The estimate given in connection with
this profile shows a total of 34,081,000 cubic
meters remaining, without allowing for
changes of river channel's, etre, wbich raises
the aggregate to 51,000,000 cubic meters.
The company had admitted 32,000,000 to
40,000,000 meters.
At the highest rate yet reached, of 1,000,-
000 cubic meters per month, it is estimate rl
tho.t at least four years will be necessary to
finish the canal, if there is no lack of
money.
The total amount of cash actually expend-
ed up to the present date is $1177,9101000,
represented by 5351,150,000 of securities.
The amount necessary to be rased to cone
plete the oanal is estimated by the _Engin-
eering News at a minimum of 5.230,000,000.4.
which would I3e represented by at leas,
