The Acrobatic Gibbon. A, great ape which makes its home in Borneo is the gibbon. which is a small animal compared with the orang. weighing only about forty or tifty pounds. It is very frail in its bodily makeup. The head is set sqoarely On the shoulders. and it looks upward. When walking on the ground it bal ances. Itself along like a walker on a tight rope. Its renarkable power of grasp and dexterity in using its hands are equally with the shape of its cranium indexes of its superior intelli gence, perhaps because it is able to take. bold of a greater number of things and examine them. The gib bons go in droves. whereas orangs live by families. and one of the most inter esting spectacies imaginable is to see a troop of them crossing a great gap In the forest by throwing themselves in succession through the air. each one taking a swing or two to gather mp mentum before launching himself. 1o great Is their agility that in executing. feats of this sort they seem like birds. Voltaire's Rotort. That famous politician, orator and man of fashion the fourth Earl of Ches terfield was on one occasion at a grand assembly in France. where Voltaire was one of the guests. Suddenly the French writer accosted his lordship with the words: "My lord, I know you are a judge. Which are the more beautiful, the Eng lish or the French ladies?" "Upon my word." replied Chesterfield. with his usual presence of mind. "I am no judge of paintings." Some time afterward, says a biogra pher, Voltaire, being in London. hap pened io be at a nobleman's party with Chesterfield. A lady in the company prodigiously rouged directed her whole discourse to Voltaire and engrossed his conversation. Chesterfield came up, tapped him on the arm and said: "Sir. take care that you are not cap tivated." "My lord." promptly replied the French wit. "I scorn to be taken by an English craft under French colors." A Costly Bed. At Knole park, Sevenoaks, England, in the- king's bedroodi is one of the most extravagant bedsteads ever made.

A London Times writer says that the cost of this astoundina; extravagance amounted to M8,000, whibch represents at least :40,000 of present currency. The Snow Leopard of India. India has produced some of the finest big game hunters in the world. First they kill deer. then tigers, and after that they climb into the hills after the mnounan 'sheep. which are the mnost difflealtof all their kind to follow and kilL Rut there is one ambition beyond ttfe mountiu sheep.

The mai who succeeds in ki-ng a snow leopard steps into: the very first rank of hbis game hunters. A Lover of the Wind. Tennyson~ had an extraordinary sym pathy with the sound of the breeze. As a child of four years old he was blowi along the garden path at Somersby, . shout~rng to his brothers his first line of Tenny:;nian blank verse I hear a voice that's calling in the wind. So, writes Arthur Waugh, the moth er in "Rizpah" hears Willy's voice ii the wind, and so, again and again, ii his poetry does he endow the steorn: with the invisible voice of nature. And it is so that he is best remembered ii Freshwater, battling the wind upo: the wintry ridge with his poet's cloal fluttering about him. Turkish Medicine.. Old fashioned Turkish physicians have plenty of remedies for cholera.
