CAREFUL.

The proud wife was taking her best frfend on a tour of inspection round the house. Gasps of surprise and sighs of satisfaction marked the exhibition of each new treasure. In the bedroom the quilt was drawn down so that the visitor might see the blankets. "OI!" she exclaimed, "vot a lovely pair of blankets." "Nothing but the best is not good enough for Ikey," said her hostess. "You sleep nice and comfortable in such soft, beautiful blankets, eh, Rachel?" ' "Believe me, Rebecca," came the reply, "never so much as forty vinks do'we get, the moth-balls are so hard." ' i BOY OR GIRL? From Naples comes news that an Italian investigator, Dr. Colucci, has perfected an electrical device which allows the sex of a child to be predicted long before birth. Some time ago Dr. Colucci found there was apparently a difference in the electrical vibrations produced by males and females. He went deeply into the subject, making up many 1 kinds of apparatus to test his theory. As the result of a long series of experiments he has found that there is a difference in the male and female vibrations, and now he has an appartus so sensitive that if it is held in the right hand it indicates at once the sex of the subject. Still more wonderful, the sex of the child before birth can be found if the mother holds the apparatus. MONKEY GLAND SHORTAGE. It is some time since Dr. Serge Voronoff startled the world by his announcement that he could make the old young again by his process of grafting monkey glands. It is in the regions of Africa lying near the Equator that monkeys of the right sort are chiefly found. But during the last few years hunters have killed and captured such quantities of them that they are now becoming more and more difficult to obtain. Many adventurers who go out in the hope of making a fortune by supplying monkeys make use of wrong methods, with the result that thousands are destroyed senselessly and uselessly. It is hoped that in the near future regulations will be made which will save the monkeys from, extinction. Meantime, large tracts of forests are bing fenced off as monkey preserves, and all hunting is forbidden within their boundaries.
