FAMOUS CROWLEY,

Mew York's Chimpanzee That
Lived and Looked Like

The Birthplace of His Ape
ship and How He Came
Over.
Ia His Way He Was a
Wonder and Study to
Science.
The Winters and Bob-Tailed
Cars Proved Too Much
for Him.
Mr. Crowley is dead. The dispatches
have announced his demise and the
naturalists have draped their museums
in the garb of mourning because of the
departure of this prince of anthropoids,
but he is gone, and neither mourn
ing nor regret will bring him back.
Really, it is a great pity that he
has passed away at so youthful an age,
because Mr. Crowley was a wonder in
his line, and he offered to scientists.evo
lutionists and naturalists an opportun
ity they have never before had of study
ing the nature of beasts of his kind and
determining the probable relation they
bear to the human family, and perhaps
the opportunity for settling this vexed
question.
A rather ingenious gentleman named
Darwin made up his mind after a deal
of thinking, that the first man was a
monkey. Perhaps Mr. Darwin is right,
but one might be more sure about it
if a few familyportraits had been handed
down, or if Mr. Crowley had lived
long enough to give the disciples Mr.
Darwin has left, an opportunity to com
municate intelligently with him and
learn from him the traditions of his or
perhaps our family.
MIL CROWLEY WAS NOT A RESIDENT
of New York for long, lie couldn't
stand the winters and bob-tailed ears of
that great metropolis. He was brought
to this country in Juno, 1884, as a first
cabin passenger on a White Star
steamer by "Mr. W. 11. Smyth,
who was then United States
Minister to Liberia. It is the
custom with the Liberians to bring
ivory and other articles to the depart
ing steamers for sale. Just as Mr.
Smyth was embarking with his wife
and daughter, he discovered a
native woman with what he sup
posed was a babe, nursing at her
breast. Something curious about the
infants appearance attracted Mr.
Smith's attention, and on closer in
spection he found that instead of a
child the suckling was a chimpanzee.
Mr. Smith purchased the little animal,
and bringing him to this country, pre
sented him to the park department of
New York, through Supt. Conkiin.
On his arrival here the baby chim
panzee (anthropologically known as of
the species troglodytes, 'or - aye-dwel
lers) was believed to be about 0
months old. He weighed bnt fifteen
pounds, and was only eighteen inches
tall. Sir. Conkiin carried bun from the
steamer, buttoned up in his coat, The
Park department gladly welcomed the
little immigrant, and, after defraying
the expenses of his voyage and journey
from Liberia (about $125 1. committed
him to the exclusive charge of Jacob
Cooke.
At first the "Chimp." as he was called
for short, was placed in the monkey
cage. Then he was allowed to go about
in the trees. He grew rapidly, how
ever, and developed such intelligence
that he was given especial quarters on
the second story of the arsenal building.
IX HIS EARLY TRAINING
and the excellent influences by which
be was surrounded in Liberia, are
probably found an explanation of his i
good behavior, and of the
CI.OW_.EY AT PI. AY.
readiness with which the took to tracts,
school books — anything else he could
easily master and tear to pieces.
It "may be that from "receiving"
With his minister-resident friend Mr.
Ciowley got into his habit of shaking
hands. He would put out his great,
hairy paw to every one who visited his
cage, and if one did not respond at
ones to this hospitable invitation to
come in, he tried to pull the visitor
through the bars, which, fortunately,
were so close together that it was not
necessary to become more intimate with
his monkeyship than one wished.
This monkey was interesting aside
from the interest that his peculiarities
attracted. Science would put him down
as an ape. He was an ape, but not a
common one. He was of the extraordi
nary species, and while he
was distinct from tho ordinary
kind it was not that alone, but because
he was a higher species of the monkey
type, that Mr. Crowley has been cele
brated. He was a remarkably bright
monkey. Mr. Crowley was * known
as a distinguished person in his
day. and his personality and manner
isms have been the subject of much
comment.
Till: XATUT.E OF THE BEAST
was his interesting characteristic, how
ever. He was not dignified in his man
ner. So much of his time was spent in
turning "somersets," that his quarters,
like those of one of England's great
dukes, might be called "Somerset
House." From his performances on the
trapeze, one might have thought him a
member of Barnum's circus, or of the
Yale or Harvard Athletic club. At
times he curled himself up on the
floor and howled with colic like
a child. Mr. Crowley had these
stomach-aches so often that some
thought him very human, indeed; and
if he had been a small boy no doubt he
would have used them many a time as
an excuse for staying away from school.
But it was seldom that he could not eat
when given anything good. Last win
ter, when be bad pneumonia, he lost
his appetite entirely; and it was touch
ing to see the looked' reproach he cast
on a man who offered him some hot
house grapes.
Mr. Crawly recovered from that sick
ness, but perhaps he owed his speedy
recovery to his never refusing to take
his medicine. When it was brought to
him he never complained, nor said he
wouldn't take it. On the contrary, he
took it at once— in his eager, out
stretched hand— of it with a sub
missive air, then threw it straight at the
attendant who stood by with tear
stained face. It was confessed on all
.ices that medicine was seldom known
to go directly to the mark.
One of the great comforts of Mr.
Crowley"- life, perhaps the main thing
that reconciled him to being shut in
doors when the weather was fine
enough to play out, was piling up saw
dust. Alter a long resting of his head
on his bands, apparently in deep study,
he would suddenly jump up as though
a thought had struck him, retire to a
corner of his cage, and there pile up
sawdust with great pains and pre
cision.
Mr. Crowley learned easily. Some
times it was thought he might reach
distinction M a cook- a "good plain
cook"— <_> a housemaid he was not a
success. It occurred to his keeper
(since sweeping Mr. Crowley's cage and
keeping it clean was no little trouble)
that Mr. Crowley might be trained to do
this for himself. So a broom was
brought and lessons were given
in its use. But, at the end of
a whole course, he still persisted
in using the broom only on his keeper,
always taking hold of it by the wrong
end. Another trait which he had in
common with some children was that,
when work of any kind was really go
ing on, no one could induce him to take
in it a more active part than to sit by
and look on. If there were thought of
apprenticing him to a trade, he'd have
made a yen fair plumber.
Wonderful as was Mr. Crowley in
most things, astonishing as were his
feats on the flying trapeze, the chief at
traction was to see him eat. Not that
he ate so much, or so awkwardly, but
because of the excellence of his' table
manners. Some are born to a knife and
fork, other achieve knives and forks
but this monkey had a knife and fork
thrust upon him. He certainly was not
born with a silver spoon in his mouth,
nor with a napkin in his hand. It Is not
sure that even the missionaries and
ministers-resident of Liberia have such
luxuries. Yet Mr. Crowley used them
all as though familiar with them from
the cradle.
Mr. Crowley, not long ago, seized his
keeper and bit his arm. This is not the
way in which a gentleman "takes a
friend by the arm," and of this Mr.
Crowley was made aware by a box on
the ear which sent him
HOWLING INTO a CORNER,
where be boo-hooed like a mortified
child, and seemed to repent of his im
politeness. Speedy repentance usually
comes with speedy punishment, and Mr.
Crowley never again attempted to
"monkey" with so prompt a disciplina
rian. Mr. Crowley was, no doubt, a
celebrated character and a favorite
among those who knew him, but he
always retained that uncertainness that
has made monkeys dangerous since
they first were introduced into civilized
countries. At his death he was a well
developed monkey. He weighed 100
pounds and measured four feet and
nine inches without his stockings. The
Museum of Natural History has taken
his body for preservation.

STRONG DRINK IX MAINE.
There Is Plenty of It, and It Is the
Worst of Its Kind.
There is no lack of liquor in Maine,
though it is hard to get mixed drinks,
writes a New York Sun correspondent.
Here in Portland they are made in the
bar-rooms in the cellars of the principal
hotels, but in the other cities and towns
the bartender shoves out a bottle and
says:
"Take this or you'll get nothing.
This is a prohibition state."
All the stock needed for a bar is a
few cases of beer and a few battles of
whisky. Even this assortment is not
found in all bars. It is a common tiling
for a bar to have otly a case of beer
and a bottle of whisky. A case of beer
will make over fifty drinks, and can
be stretched to a hundred,' The bottles
are big as champagne bottlesTalmost the
same shape, but without a label. They
hold a quart. A quart means any num
ber of drinks, according to the skill of
the bartender and the wretchedness of
the beer. Each drink costs 10
cents. In the ordinary glass of
prohibition there is no more beer
than could be put into a flat champagne
glass. It is acrid, with a salty froth,
and incites a desire to make war on
somebody. Five glasses apiece to a
thousand ordinal illy peaceable citizens
would provoke them to riot. After
drinking it there is a fire in the throat
that can be quenched only by drinking
more beer, until the flame burns the
victim into the insensibility of drunk
cues.. and to go on a Maine drunk is
solemn business. A Maine man can
carry a flask of the Maine beer of com
merce in his pocket and use it as our
West side politician uses his flask of
whisky.
There is an immense profit from the
sale of this beer at 10 cents for a small
drink. The police get part of this
profit. They assess the saloonkeeper,
if the common belief goes for anything.
Then, about once in so often the saloon
keeper is arrested and lined. The fees
of his arrest make the liquor police and
court officials happy, and it Is calcu
lated to make the amount Of his lines
equal to a license of 1300 or 1300 a year.
New individuals can be found for the
same place, so that it will not seem as if
the same man was being let oft' with a
moderate line for the tenth or fif
teenth offense. The fines go into
the city or town treasury,
and help out the tax levy that much.
There is enough margin left over to
give the saloonkeeper more than the
ordinary profit, and he cannot complain,
especially as new men arc hindered
from going into the business by
the necessity of having to get solid with
so many people before they start. It
costs money to be solid in Maine, nnd
a man who succeeds in making a liquor
store grow where there was none before
is looked upon as a public benefactor,
besides being a man with a pull.
These saloons are called oyster
houses. The sign simply says that oy
sters can be had within. A man who
wants oysters had better go some place
else, as the only oysters in those places
are in a lot of cans on the shelves of the
front room, where there may be a cigar
stand, Hows of canned goods and some
crackers, sausage and other luxuries of
a free lunch counter may possibly be
found in this room, but free lunches are
scarce in Maine. A man who lias four
or five Maine beers in him wants to go
out at once and commit murder
or arson without waiting for a
free lunch. This dummy part of the
establishment occupies the part of the
room facing on the street. Back of it
is a partition going up to the ceiling,
with a loophole like the peephole in a
gambling house, lhe space behind is
twice as large as the room in front.
Here is the bar, small and dirty, no
chairs, no tables, nothing but bare walls
and slops of the precious beer. This is
the average and ordinary Maine bar
room. It must be a desperate desire
that takes a man in one.
The bar is of dirty brown wood, not
valuable enough to bother over in case
it is necessary to have it publicly
smashed by the liquor police. Behind
are a couple of shelves with green quart
beer bottles on them. A half dozen
lumps of glass an inch thick at the bot
tom, three-eighths thick at the side, and
with a small cavity for beet, finish the
luxuriant appointments. Occasionally
there is a bucket of water in which the
glasses are dipped after being used.
This is considered rather fastidious,
and a party of Maine men can get along
nicely with one glass, filled and drunk l
by each in sueeessin as It is passedo
around the crowd.
There are a few good and fairly well
equipped bars in Portland. They sell
wine at hotel tables here, so a man can
drink somewhere in comfort. With the
relaxation of the sham enforcement of
the law the quality of the liquor im
proves, and there is less drunkenness in
proportion In Portland than in Augusta,
which is full of hypocrisy. In Augusta
a man at the hotel who asks for a drink
is told to go to his room. A bottle of
whisky is sent up to him, and he pays
11.50 for it, whether be wants one drink
or five. He can take his two or three
drinks from it and carry it off with him
—an incitement to continual tippling—
or he can sell it and break the United
States internal revenue law,' which is a
bigger thing than prohibition, or he can
give It to one of the hotel porters for a
tip, or he can sit and drink until he is
gloriously drunk. Often this is just
What he- does. A man who, left to him
self, would go to the bar and take a
drink before going to bed, has a bottle
in his room, and sits and smokes and
drinks ten times as much as he other
wise would.

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1888. —SIXTEEN PAGES.
DID HE PLAGIARIZE?
The Original of "Hiawatha"
Found in the Finnish Epic
"Kalevala."
Longfellow Accused of Hav
ing Stolen the Meter and
Plot of
His Greatest Work From This
Fifth National Epic of the
World.
The Literary Sensation of the
Century Produced by the
Discovery.
Xew York Letter.
.In the early part of the present cen
tury Topelius, a Finnish scholar and
practicing physician, made a great dis
covery. He collected eighty fragments
of the "Kalevala," the grand poem of
Finland, fifth national epic of the world,
which for unknown ages had been float
ing on the stream of tradition. In 1849
a brother physician. Dr. Elias Lourot, v
published a complete version of the epic,
embracing fifty runes and almost 23,000
lines. Meanwhile it had passed into
other tongues— into Swedish, French
and German— and become the literary
sensation of the age, Max M tiller plac
ing it side by side with the lonian
songs, the Mahabharata, the Shahna
mcth and Jthe Nibelungen. But to
English readers it remained un
known until Longfellow produced
his famous Indian Edda, "Hia
watha." Then the scholars fell upon
him with the cry of plagiarism and his
publisher became excited. "It will not
do," he said, "to let this thing go on
any longer." "How does the book sell?"
asked Longfellow. "Amazingly— the
sale is already equal to the combined
sales of your oilier books." "Then,"
said Longfellow, "I think we ought to
be thankful to these critics. Let them
talk. Seems to me they are giving us a
large amount of gratuitous advertising.
Better let them alone." And let alone
they were; so, at least, the story runs.
I'rof. T. C. Porter, of Lafayette col
lege, was head and front of the
attacking party, and to this day he
continues his assaults. Americans
took but a languid interest in the dis
cussion; they could make no compari
sons between the two works, as no
English translation of the "Kalevala"
was then in existence, and it was not
until years afterward (1808) that Prof.
John A. Porter, of Yale college, pub
lished a beautiful .rendering of a small
portion of it, a single episode. This
difficulty no longer exists. The entire
epic has been translated into the best of
English by Dr, J. M. Crawford, of Cin
cinnati, and published handsomely in
two octavo volumes by John 11. Allien,
New York.
XS LONGFELLOW GUILTY?
One thing is sure, that the peculiar
meter of the two poems— rhymeless
trochaic dimeter with Oriental repeti
tion—is the same. On this point the
_________ poet, Freiligrath, Longfellow's
friend, once wrote: "I will not say that
'Hiawatha' is written in the old national
meter of Finland; but there can be no
doubt that it is written in a modified
Finnish meter. Apart from all Internal
evidence, which is of itself sufficient to
put the matter beyond all question, I
may mention that in the summer of 1842,
when Mr. Longfellow was on the Rhine,
we often amused ourselves with the at
tractive meter and the quaint subjects
of the songs of Finland." This matter
of verse, we take it, is now beyond dis
pute; and even conceding the ques
tion of inspiration, the worst that Prof,
Porter, of Lafayette, can say against
Lonfellow is, in his own words, that
••the indebtedness of this so-called
'purely American epic' to the 'Children
of Sound' is of such magnitude that it
not only deserved but had a right to
acknowledgement."
The national epic of Sound (Finland),
not only as being the model of "Hia
watha,'' but in length and strength of
structure, in ancient and original flavor,
in the fascination of its folk lore, is in
finitely the greater poem. It comes
down from the mythical age, preserved
by minstrels, laden with the rate and
curious solutions of poetical people of
the problems of nature, the origin of
things.the enigmas of human tears. And
"it represents," says Dr. Crawford,
"not only poetry, but the entire wisdom
and accumulated experience of a na
tion." The Kalevala (the Land of He
roes) relates the ever-varying contests
between the Fins and the "darksome
Laplanders." The three main person
ages, Wainamoinen, the ancient singer;
Hmarinen, the eternal forge.nan, and
Leniminkaimen, the reckless wizard,
are conceived as being of divine origin,
and most all of the acting characters
superhuman. The power of magic
is a striking feature of the
poem; -Vainamoinen's songs dis
arm his opponents— they quiet the
angry sea, and they give warmth to the
new sun and the new moon which his
brother, Ilmarmen, forges from the
magic metals. Birds, beasts, fishes and
serpents, as well as the suu and the
moon, are either kind or unkind; drops
of blood find speech ; ships and trees
and waters have magic powers.
THE DEADLY PARALLEL COLUMN.
After countless adventures, Waina
moinen takes his departure at the birth
of the Christ-child, whom be baptizes.
Hiawatha, it will be remembered, after
leading a similar life, retires at the ap
proach of the Jesuit missionary, "The
Black-Kobe chief, the Paleface," who
came to the people, and
Told them of the Virgin Mary
And her blessed Son, the Savior.
Compare the departure of the two
heroes:

Finally, it is possible to scent the rich
flavor of the epic in this episode of
Wainainoinen's sowing :
Wainamoinen, wise and ancient,
Made himself an ax for chopping,
Then began to clear the forest,
Then began the trees to level.
Felled the trees of all descriptions,
Only left the birch tree standing.
Where might sing the sweet-voiced cuckoo.
Sacred bird in sacred branches.
Down from Heaven came the eagle,
Through the air he came allying
That this thing he might consider;
And he spake the words that follow:
"Wherefore, ancient Wainnmoinen,
Hast thou left the slender birch tree,
Left the birch tree only standing!'''
Wainamoinen thus mad i answer:
"Therefore Is the birch left standing
That the birds may nest within it,
That ibe eagle there may rest him,
There may sing the Earned cuckoo."'
Spake the eagle, thus replying:
"Good, indeed, thy hero-judgment.
That the birch tree thou has left us,
Left the sacred birch tree standing
As a resting-place for eagles
And for birds of every feather;
| Even I may rest upon it."
Quickly then this bird of heaven
Kindled fire among the branches;
Soon the flames are fanned by north winds,
And the east winds lend their forces,
Burn the trees of all descriptions,
Burn them all to dust and ashes,
Only is the birch left standing.
Wainamoinen, wise aud ancient,
Brings bis magic grains of barley,
Brings he forth his seven seed-grains,
Brings them from his trusty pouches,
Fashioned from the skin of squirrel,
Some were made from skin of marten;
Thence to sow his seed he hastens,
Hastes the barley grains to scatter.
Speaks unto himself these measures:
"I the seeds of life am sowing.
Sowing through my open fingers,
From the hand of my Cieator,
In this soil enriched with ashes,
In this soil to sprout and flourish.

Far below (lie earth and ocean,

If the givers give assistance.
If the givers grace the sowing,

Kise, O Earth, from out thy slumber.
From the slumber-land of ages.
Let the barley-grains be sprouting,
Let the blades themselves be starting,

JACK DALY'S PLUNGE.
He Took Nearly $8,000 Out of an
Omaha Pool Boom in One Day.
Omaha Herald. .
The financial status of the Diamond
pool room is not so strong this morning
as it was twenty-four hours ago. It is
not so strong by about 10,000 big Amer
ican dollars. Of this sum $7,702.25 was
scooped in by one speculator. His name
is Daly— Jack Daly, of New York— and
be plunged on horses. The remainder
of the amount was captured by wise
speculators who accompanied him in
the plunge.
Mr. Daly dropped into the Diamond
yesterday morning and casually glanced
at the entries for the day's racing at
Monmouth and Saratoga. Among the
horses listed in one of the events at the
latter track was Gypsy Queen. She was
rated short. The track odds against her
were oto 1. Mr. Daly listlessly placed
$200 on her at this figure, Tlie book
maker immediately chalked the horse
down to 4to 1. Mr. Daly sauntered
around the pool room in a careless man
ner, as if he was endeavoring to un
load a heavy dose of ennui.
But every time lie passed the
bookmaker's stand he staked $100 on
Gypsy Queen. When the bell rung for
tlfe start and the operator yelled "Off at
Saratoga!" Mr; Daly stood to win $2,100
on Gypsy Queen, and he won it. The
bookmakers gasped, and Mr. Daly went
out to drink a glass of ice water.
A couple of hours later books were
opened on the day's stellar event at
Monmouth— a race in whicli Telle Doe
was a strong favorite over such animals
as Joe Lee and Cambyses. Kaloolah
was among the entries, but very
unpopular with the talent. The
track odds against Kaloolah were
10 to l. The Diamoned opened
its book with Kalo olah rated at 0 to 1
against winning, and 4 to 1 against a
place. Mr. Daly took a little of the
odds. He laid $000 to $3,000 that Mor
rlssey's mare would win, and $500 to
$2,000 that she would secure a place.
Then the bookmaker reduced the odds
to 4 to 1 against the winner, and. just to
encourage the game, Mr. Daly pur
chased $100 worth of pasteboard with
those figures on it. He had now backed
Kaloolah to the tune of $1,100, with a
chance of winning $6,400. Joe Lee led
the running from post to stretch,
with Telle Doe a close second. Ka
loolah was not heard of until Lee en
tered the stretch, when the telegrapher
imparted the information that Kaloolah
was coming fast. "That settles it," re
marked Mr. Daly as he retired to drink
another glass of ice water. That did
settle it. "Kaloolah wins!" jelled the
operator. Then you could cut the
gloom with an ax.
"I'm going to the ball game," re
marked Mr. Daly, when he had refrig
erated his inner man," and before
going to bet $200 to $800 that McLaugh
lin runs no worse than second in the
next race at Monmouth."
The proposition was jumped at. Mc-
Laughlin, indeed! Who had ever heard
of the horse? Mr. Daly's wager was
booked, and Mr. Daly went to the ball
game. Mel.aughin ran better than sec
ond. He won the race.
Last evening Mr. Daly cashed his
tickets. He had invested $1,715 and
won $8,360. From this amount the house
deducted its commission of 5 per cent,
which footed up $4! i5.75. Mi. Daly's
day's winnings amounted to $7,762.25,
the biggest sum of money ever won by
any individual in an Omaha pool-room.
Who is Mr. Daly? He is an all-around
sport, and a clever one, too. He is a
member of the Manhattan' Athletic
club, and a sprinter of no mean ability.
He has made money on the cinder path
In England and this country. He was
one of Jack Dempsey's backers and
trainers when that pugilistic phenome
non fought and defeated Marine La
Blanche, and has been closely identified
with Dempsey's interests in all
the tatter's battles. About a
month ago Mr. Daly dropped
quietly into Omaha and began
betting on a small scale, chiefly on base
ball. Not until a few days ago did he
venture a wager on horses, and cheer
fully acknowledged that the national
game was his forte. His coup was a
surprise to tlie pool room people.
"11l bet that every pool room in the
country lias been scooped to-day," re
marked an old sport last evening. "It's
my opinion, and the circumstances
strengthen it. that Daly came to Omaha
! or the express purpose of accomplish- I
ing his work of to-day, and that a simi
lar agent was dispatched to every
city in the Union where the
races are played. Funny thing, Isn't
it, that such a thoroughbred sport as
Daly should plunge on three short
horses, and that every one of them
should win? I believe that Gypsy
Queen, Kaloolah and McLaughlin have
been held down especially for to-day's
races. Colorado Morrissey's horse Ka
loolah has been beaten until her owner
got the odds against her high enough to
suit him. Then he put in his money
and let her win. He scattered his cash '
around the country because he did not
want to reduce the odds at the track by
E lunging there. You see, the outside
makers follow the track odds.
That's why Daly came to Omaha."
Last evening Daly confessed that he
had received tips, but denied that he
was backed by Morrissey. "I make my
money by betting," lie said, "and ' have
a partner in the business. J. L. Malone,
of New York. He cleaned up $16,000
on Kaloolah's victory to-day. Of course
we were.pretty confident the horses we
backed would win. We are not looking
for the worst of it."
Daly is only twenty-seven years of
age, but he seems to be more aged in
experience than many of the gray beards

THE PROBLEM OF SEX.
__, Doctor Talks Learnedly About the
Babies.
A 5 FEW PUZZLING FACTS.
Why Are Some Born Boy 3 While
Others Are Bora
i ._ Girls?
-
Chicago Herald.
"The most interesting of studies are
babies," said Dr. Childs, the famous ac
coucheur. "I am aware of the tact that
•everybody doesn't agree with me.
Bachelors don't, for instance. Again,
the poet says: 'The proper study of
mankind is man.' And others will be
found to maintain that woman is the
'most interesting subject to investigate.
•But as for woman herself, surely she
will side with me, in my dictum. Now,
as for babies, it has often struck me
that the question of their sex is a phys
iological mystery which awaits solu
tion."
"What do you mean by that, doctor?"
interjected the reporter.
"Well. I'll try to make my meaning a
little plainer. There are certain things
taken in connection with the sex of
babies which are as yet unsolved riddles
to science. The fact itself, above all,
why one baby is born a girl and an
other a boy has never yet been satis
factorily explained. All that has been
said on the subject by physiologists,
physicians, specialists, and others has
been either in the nature of mere sur
mises and hypotheses or else arrant
nonsense. Then think how much su
perstition there is connected with this
very matter. Why, old and ung
women are full of it. lint that wasn't
so much what I was referring to. No,
sir. There are other questions to an
swer. Why is it, tor example, that in
one country more males than females
are born, while in others the reverse is
the case? Why is it that this is also
true of certain towns, villages, even
wards? Why is it that during certain
months the female births outnumber
the male ones, while during other
months it is not so?"
"I'm sure 1 don't know, doctor, if yon
don't," quoth his j^^K _____
visitor. "1 come J^X~7ii*f

yourself? If you ll \^flSsfi f^
do, please don't **« *
withhold your knowledge from a world
that has been aching to know all this
ever since Noah first stepped from his
ark. Tell us about it!"
But the great, scientist and practi
tioner only let his head fall into the
hollow of his good right hand, and then
whistled softly to himself, an utter prey
to meditation and self-communion. "If
I were to tell you what I think it
wouldn't do any good, since, . after all,
its nothing but guess-work."
"But are those facts, doctor, which
■you stated a moment ago?"
i "Yes, they are facts. However, I'll
not ask you to believe me. Just you go
to the county clerk's office, where they
keep the records of all the births on file,
and where they make them up In sta
tistics. You will see all 1 said verified
there."
And, sure enough, the doctor was
right. Poring over the ponderous
tomes there collected, and over the fig
. tires collated from them, a summary of
facts was gradually evolved which
might be stated, like a condensed cate
chism, in this wise:
Chicago produces more boys than
girls.
The average annual excess of male
births over female births is about 1,000,
or, roughly, 8 per cent more of boys
than girls.
' Births are heaviest In number in the
months of August, September, October
and December, the latter month leading
all the rest.
February shows the smallest number
of births, April, May and June being
next.
There are nine months of the year
when more male than female children
are born. There is one month— May—
when there is an equilibrium (which is
in some years exactly maintained, like
May, ISM, when there were 722 births
each of males and females), and there
are two months which show an excess
of female over male births. Those two
months are April and December.
Why this was and is thus tho official
whose massive brow ponders day by
day over these vital statistics knew no
more than the medical authority had
known. He, too, could only give vent
to surmises. - -'.';.
"As for April," he says, "the excess
of female over male new-born might be
accounted for in various ways. April
is the first spring month. Spring is the
season of love, of poetry, of sentiment
and ideals. Hence more girls are born,
for girls are much more given to
this sort of thing than boys. Again,
April is the most variable month in the
year. April weather has become pro
verbial. Girls, too, are very variable.
The proverb, La donna c mobile, attests
this. Therefore, the evident desire of
the female sex to be born in this month
and no other is accounted for, I think,
in a measure. But. should girls try so
hard to be born in Decem
ber? That's what puzzles me.
For— take the statistics into your
hand, sir— you will find that many
more girls are born in that cold, in
hospitable month than boys— many
more than in April, even. It's a pretty
tough month, in Chicago at least, to
come into the world in. and why girls
should persist in doing so during the
rigors of a Chicago December, while in
Florida they don't quite the reverse—
that's what beats me! The only reason
I can think of at all is that they want to
steal a march on the boys and get one
more Christmas than they, or get it
much sooner than the boys, at all
events. Blamed if 1 can think of any
other reason!"

want any but Hood's. lam glad to speak
a good word for this excellent medicine."
