By B DYAED. EIPLITO. The orang-outang in the big iron cage lashed to the sheep, pen began the discussion. The night was stiflingly hot, and as Hans Breitmann and I pass ed him, dragging our bedding to the fore peat of the steamer, he ronsed him self and chattered obscenely. He had been caught somewhere in the Malayan archipelago and was going to England io be exhibited at a shilling a head. "It wonld be well for yon, mine friend, if yon was a liddle seasick/ said Hans Breitmann, pansing by the caga "Yon haf too mnch ego in your cosmos." The orang-outang's arm slid ont neg ligently from between the bars. No one wonld have believed that it wonld make a sudden snakelike rush at the Ger man's breast The thin silk of the sleep ing snit tore ont Hans stepped back unconcernedly to pluck a banana from a bunch hanging close to one of the ' boats. "Too much ego," said he, peeling the fruit and offering it to the caged devil, who was rending the silk to tat ters. "If he was out now, dere would not be much of us left hereabouts," said Hans lazily. "He screams good. See now how I shall tame hiin when he stops himself. " There was a pause in the outcry, and * from Hans' mouth came an imitation of a snake's hiss, so perfect that I al most sprang to my feet The sustained murderous sound ran along the deck, and the wrenching at the bars ceased. " The orang-outang was quaking in an ecstasy of pure terror. "Dot stop him," said Hans. "I learned dot trick in Mogoung Tanjong when I was collecting liddle monkeys for some peoples in Berlin. Are you asleep, or will you . listen, und I will tell a dale dot you shall not pelief ?" "There is no tale in the wide world that I can't believe," I said. "Good! When I was collecting dose liddle monkeys-it was in 1879 or 1S80 -und I was in der islands of der archi pelago, over dere in der dark"-he pointed southward to New Guinea gen erally-"mein Gott I I would sooner collect life red devils than liddle mon keys. I was dere for nearly a year, und dere I found a man dot was called Ber tr n. He was a Frenchman, und he was a good man-naturalist to der bona Dey said he was an escaped convict, but he was a naturalist, und dot was enough for me. He would call all der life beasts rom der forests, und dey would come. "TJnd dot man, who was king of beasts tamer men, he had in der house ahnst such a nod er as dot devil animal in der cage-a great orang-outang dot thought he was a man. He haf found him when he was a child-der orang outang-und he was child und brother and opera comique all round to Ber tram He had his room in dot house not a cage, but a room-mit a bed und sheets, und he would go to bed und get up in der morning und smoke his cigar und eat his dinner mit Bertr n und walk mit him hand in hand, which was most horrible, Gott I He was not a beast He was a man, und he talked to Bertr n, und Bertr n comprehended, , for I haf seen dem. Und he was al ways poiiteful to me except when I talki too long to Bertr n und say nodings at all to him. Den he would pull me away -dis great, dark devil, mit his enor mous paws-shnst as if I was a child. jud Bimi, der orang-outang, haf un derstood us both, mit his cigar between nis big dog teeth und der blue gum. "I was dere a year-dere und at der oder islands-somedimes for monkeys und somedimes for butterflies und or chits. One time Bertr n says to me dot he will be married, pecause he haf lound a girl dot was goot Den he go jtiS. courting der girl-she was a half taste French girl^-very pretty. Haf you got a new light for my cigar? Oof I Very pretty! Only I say: 'Haf you thought of Bimi ? If he pulls me away when I talk to you, what will he do to your wife? He will pull her in pieces. If I was you, Bertr n, I weuld gif my wife for wedding present der stuff fig ure of Bimi. ' By dot time I had learned somedings about der monkey peoples. 'Shoot him?' sajs Bertr n. 'He is your beast, * I said. 'If he was mine he would be shot now. ' "Den I felt at der back of my neck der fingers of Bimi. Mein Gott ! I tell you dot he talked through dose fingers. It was der deaf und dumb alphabet all gomplete. He slide his hairy arm round my neck, und he tilt up my chin und -^ioclk into my face, shust to see if I un derstood als falk so well as he under stood mine. " 'See now dere I' says Bertr n. *Und you would shoot aim while he is cud dling yonj Dot |s der Teuton ingrate I "But I knew dot haf made Bimi a life's enemy, pecause his fingers haf talk murder through der back of my neck. Next dime I see Bimi dere was a pistol in my belt, und he touch it once, und I open der breech to show him it was loaded. He haf seen der liddle monkeys killed in der woods, und he understood. "So Bertr n he was married, nnd he forgot clean about Bimi dot was skip ping alone on der beach mit der half of a human soul in his belly. I was see him skip, und he took a big bough und thrash der sand till he haf made a great hole like agrave. So I says to Bertr n 'For any sakes, kill Bimi. He is mad mit der jealousy. ' "Bertr n haf said: *He is not mad at all He haf obey und love my wife, und if she speaks he will get her slip pers. ' Und he looked at his wife across der room. She was a very pretty girl. "Den I said to him, 'Shoot him when he comes to der house, for he haf der light in his eyes dot means killing-und killing. ' Bimi come to der house, but dere was no light in his eyes. It was all put away, cunning- . o cunning und he fetch der girl her slippers, und Bertr n turn to me und say. 'Dost thou know him ia nine months more dan I haf known him in 12 years ? Shall a child stab his tzfrrV "Dot next day Bertr n came to my house to help me make some wood cases for der specimens, und he tell me dot he haf left his wife a liddle while mit , Bimi in der garden. Den I finish my cases quick, und I say, 4Let us go to your house und get a trink. ' He laugh und say, 'Come al^g, dry mans.1 "His wife was not in der garden, und Bimi did not come when Bertr n called- Und his wife did not come when he called, und he knocked at her bed room door und dot was shut tight locked. Den he look at me, und his face was white, I broke down der door mit my shoulder, und der thatch of der roof was torn into a great hole, und der sun came in upon der floor. Haf you ever seen paper in der wastebasket or cards at whist on der table scattered ? Dere was no wife dot could be seen. I tell you dere was ncdings in dot room dot might be a woman. Dere was stuff on der floor, und dot was all I looked at dese things und I was very sick, but Bertr n looked a liddle longer at what was upon der floor und der walls und der hole in der thatch. Den he began to laugh, soft und low, und I knew und thank Gott dot he was mad. He nefer cried, he nefer prayed. He stood still in der doorway und laugh to himself. Den he said : 'She haf locked herself in dis room, und he haf torn up her thatch- Fi done. Dot is so. We will mend der thatch und wait for Bimi. He will surely come. ' "I tell you we waited ten days in dot house after der room was made into a room again, und once or twice we saw Bimi coming a liddle way from der woods. He was afraid pecause lie haf done wrong. Bertr n called him when he was come to look on der tenth day, und Bimi come skipping along der beach und making noises mit a long piece of black hair in his hands. Den Bertr n laugh und say, 'Fi done!' shust as if it was a glass broken upon der table, und Bimi come nearer, und Bertr n was honey sweet in his voice und laughed to himself. For three days he made love to Bimi, pecause Bimi would not let himself be touched Den Bimi come to ! dinner at der same table mit us, und der hair on his hands was all black und thick mit-mit what had dried on his hands. Bertr n gave him sangaree till Bimi was drunk und stupid, und den" Hans paused to puff his cigar. "And then?" said I. "Und den Bertr n kill him with his hands, und I go for a walk upon der beach. It was Bertran's own pizfmess. When I come back, der ape he was dead, und Bertr n he was dying abofe him, hut still be laughed a liddle und low, und he was quite content Now you know der formula of der strength of der orang-outang. It is more as seven to one in relation io man. But Bertr n, he haf killed Bimi mit sooch dings as Gott gif him. Dot was der mericle. " The infernal clamor in the cage re commenced. "Anal Dot friend of ours haf still too much ego in his cosmos. Be quiet, thou!" Hans hissed long and venomously. We could hear the great beast quaking in his cage "But why in the world didn't you help Bertr n instead of letting him be killed?" I asked. "My friend," said Hans, composedly stretching himself to slumber, '.'it was not nice even to mineself dot I should lif afterT had seen dot room mi-; der " hole in der thatch. Und Bertr n, he was her husband. Goot night, und sleep welL' TALKING SHOP. A Sentiment Concerning Which There Is Considerable Hambag. "If there is one thing that makes me ti little wearier than another," said an amateur cynic, "it is to hear a man boast that he 'never talks shop.' I met a fairly eminent actor at a little gath ering not long ago, and when some pleasant reference was made he 3rew himself up and said, 'You wiil pardon me, I am sure, but, really, I make; it a rule never to talk shop.' That remark convinced two or three thick headed hearers that he was singular'y free from vanity, but it convinced the rest of us that he was a double dyed don key and a poseur of the purest ray serene. "Every right minded man likes to talk shop and does so whenever he gets a chance. It is that which makes class clubs almost invariably a suc cess. The members -ire all interested in the same thing: and can talk shop ad lib. without getting called down. One of the redeeming features of matri mony is the fact that a man secures a helpless victim to whom he can talk shop every day of the year. "When a chap is traveling as in a Strange city, what a joy it is to bump up against somebody in one's same line of business! It is like meeting a long lost brother! I have often thought that the chief objection to being a hangman is that there are so few per sons with whom a fellow could chat about the craft. "And yet it has grown to be a fash ion among people of eminence in all the professions to affect a reluctance to discuss the precise thing in which each is most interested. They don't like to talk shop! l-augh! Nobody has any right to make such an asser tion except a burglar in a police sta tion!''-New Orleans Times-Democrat The Camel's Kye. Tile Nile is essentially a river of si lence and mystery. Even the camels turn their beautiful soft eyes upon you as if you were intruding upon their si lence and reserve. Xever were the e}*es in a human head so beautiful as a camel's. There is a limpid softness, an appealing plaintiveness in their expres sion which drag at your sympathies like the look in the eyes of a hunch back. It means that with your oppor tunities you might have done more with your life. Your mother looks at you that way sometimes in church when the sermon touches a particular ly raw nerve in your spiritual make up. I always feel like apologizing when a camel looks at me.-Lilian Bell in Wo man's Home Companion. IT WAS A HEAL DUEL. TWO DANISH OFFICERS FOUGHT IT OUT WITH BROADSWORDS. The Furious Confllet Took Place Be fore an .Audience In a Gymnasium In Washington In a Building; Which Adjoined tliie Police Station. "I have figured in quite a number of varied events during over a quarter of a century of active newspaper r per toriai life," explained an old newspaper writer to a Star reporter, "but I never got in but one duel when it was to a finish, and in the instance I refer to it was to a finish, I assure you. I was only an onlooker, it is true, but I saw more than wanted to see, and more than I would willingly again see. It was nearly 20 years ago, but I have not forgotten it. "At the time there was a gymnasium on Louisiana avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets. The building ad joining was the old central guardhouse, the police station. "One evening I was invited by a friend, who was a former newspaper man, but afterward a patent attorney, and who also acted as the resident Danish consul, to attend the gym nasium to witness a sword combat, in which two of his friends were to take part. I was told that three or four others would be present, and the com bat would be rather lively. I realized that part of it fully, to my complete satisfaction. "With the others, three newspaper writers, a couple of actors and a couple of sporting men, we got to the gym nasium about 0 o'clock, but were told that the combat would not take place until the gymnasium classes had been dismissed, as it was desirel that the onlookers should be as few as possible. "None of us had any idea as to who the participants would be or the par ticular reason for it, but we were told that it was desired that we should be present to see that everything was con ducted properly. From this we inferred that there was a stake or something at issue, and we were to be the judges as well as referees, as it were. "At 10 o'clock two carriages arrived, in each of which was a single occupant, each having a sword, what is common ly known as .a broadsword, like that which men-of-war's men have. They had but little to say, and in a few min utes they were properly attired in the gymnasium suits and announced that they were ready for the battle. "I had seen some professional broad sword combats and rather looked for some heavy work, but in less than a minute we all realized that there seem ed to be more earnestness about the combat than was customary in meet ings of professionals, it mattered not how large the stakes were. 'The men wore the customary wire head covering, and it was well they did so, otherwise there would have been one or two heads scattered about on the floor, for the fight was fast and furious. At the expiration of ten min utes these was a halt called so that a terrible gash on the sword arm of one of the combatants could be bandaged by a physician who conveniently drop ped in. "Then the fighters started in hammer and tongs at each other, and in 12 min utes one of the men was lying on the floor with a terrible gash in his shoul der and a rap on his head which sound ed so loud that it was heard in the po lice station adjoining. The clothing of the men was as fully covered with blood as if they had been painted with it "That ended it. Both men had re ceived at least a dozen wounds, and the victor fell in a faint in less than a minute after he was declared the con queror. My friend, on behalf of the participants, thanked us for our at tendance, and we left after seeing the men lifted into carriages and taken away. "It was several weeks before we knew to a certainty what it all meant and were not told then until both men had fully recovered. It transpired that the participants were both Danish offi cers; that they had quarreled in New York in regard to an oficial matter, and that a challenge passed and was accepted, and that all the details of the settlement had been left to the Danish consul, and that the whole party of us had innocently presided over a real duel. "The strange part of it was that it took place within sound of the police station."-Washington Star. He Saw the Point. A former attorney general of the United. States, in a recent article, tells the following anecdotes of Mr. Justice Miller of the federal supreme court: Judge Miller was a very agreeable man socially, but in the later years cf his life became somewhat impatient upon the bench. Ile was no orator him self and seemed to have an aversion to all attempts at oratory in court. I have seen him on more than one occasion disjoint with sharp questions a beauti fully prepared speech with which an ambitious orator expected to charm and captivate the court. One midsum mer lay, as it is said, he was holding court in a western state, and a lawyer, whom we will call Brown, was ad dressing him ia a long, rambling speech. The judge listened and fanned himself and fidgeted about on the bench for some time, and. finally, lean ing over his desk, said in an audible whisper, "Confound it Brown, come to the point." ''What point?" inquired the some what astonished lawyer. "Any point," responded the judge; ami, though the sequel does not appear, it is probable that lhere was a rapid condensation of talk in that courtroom after this short colloquy. The little Japs are about as free from the vice of drunkenness as any people in the world. In fact, it is the rarest thing in the world to see an inebriated subject of the mikado. The native drink, "saki," is used about as tea in this country, and it is but littje more intoxicating J 1 I LIFE'S VARIORUM. Some work for this, some strive for that, nd .rrind st every turn; Some long for wiutt they haven't got, and what they have they spurn, And some rush for the mountain peak to get the sun's last ray, Then crawl into some sunless hole and sleep it off next day. Some find this earth a first rate place to slave and stint and save And life's chief pleasure to consist in being glum and grave, And others with a twinkle in the hand and heart and eye Will stake their lives that they can spend more than they can find laid by. Some take a drink when they are dry and some when they are wet; Some drink for sweet remembrance sake, some that they may forget, And some there be, like you and me, free from all sham accurs'd, Who have laid down a rule for life-never to get athirst. Some turn to this, some turn to that, for fortune and for fame, And some won't tarn for anything and get there just the same. But there's a common turning point, a fate, un kind but just, Where rich and poor and great and small tum one and all to dust. -Galveston News. Lincoln's Way. At a time when Mr. Lincoln was un der great mental stress during the civil war Mr. George H. Yeaman, then con gressman from Kentucky, called upon him and thus describes the occasion in the New York Tribune: .The president was alone at his desk, hard at work, and the congressman promptly offered to retire and call again. " 'No/ said Lincoln, 'sit down. I'll be through shortly.' "Presently his little son partly open ed the door. Tapa,' said he, 'mamma says the company will foon assemble.' '"The congressman rose. 'Please be seated; we'll get to it directly,' said Lincoln. "Ile continued his work. His face was very grave; it showed anxiety and melancholy indescribable. Disasters had come in the field, and it was not all harmony among his supporters. Very soon his barber came in, and again the congressman offered to retire. "'No,' said Lincoln; 'just excuse me one moment.' Ile got up, threw off his coat, seated himself in one chair and stretched his long logs across another. The barber lathered his face and com menced stropping a razor. When that was over the president turned his head and gently asked, 'Now, what can I do?' "The congressman told his mission. It was considered kindly, decided cor rectly and he went his way. We need not compare this with the court eti quette of emperors and kings, nor ask if Washington or Adams, or even Jef ferson, would have so received a vis itor on business; but it was what Abra ham Lincoln did." cease and Effect. Several years ago the inmates of a small, respectable dwelling house in Philadelphia discovered upon the white washed wall of one of the rooms the likeness of a human face, which faded and returned again. The neighbors came in to view the wonder. Other faces appeared and vanished. Crowds thronged the house and street, and ac counts of the mystery were printed in the daily papers. It was to no purpose that scientific men insisted that the figures were caused by moldy growths which came and went with the dampness and that the likeness to the human face was imaginary. The house was pronounced by the public to be haunted, and the owner was unable to find a tenant for "t for years. Pinning' Him Down. He-I believe that a man should let his acts speak for themselves.

"Remember, boys," said the teacher, "that in the bright lexicon of yovth there's no such word as fail." After a few moments a boy raised his hand. "Well, what is it, my lad?" asked the master.

A hole lu his right heel enabled a negro workman in the diamond fields of South Africa to secrete and steal gems to the value of .$273,000.
