'JOHANNA, THE- EDUCATED . CHIM-
PANZEEENTERTNNS-.
An Exhibition in the Central Park Arson
a1 That Was Surprising. Johanna. A!
An Artist and Letter Writer. Her-“De-
vices to Get Eggs.
.An audience was invited to Central
Park not long ago to see J ohanna, the
educated chimpanzee, give an exhibi-
tion of her various accomplishments.
The exhibition was gotten up by Mr.
,McKay, Johanna’s trainer, for the en-
tertainment of some zoologists from
Washington and Philadelphia, who were
anxious to see for themselves if all that
had been said about her was true. They
went away satisfied that it was, and
that the young lady was progressing
under McKay’s tuition.
Mr. McKay began the proceedings by
handing Johanna a piece of cardboard,
on which he had drawn her picture. J c-
hanna sat on her haunches, held the
cardboard in her left paw and with her
right started in diligently to copy the
portrait. In a few minutes she walked
to the bars of her cage and handed the
cardboard and pencil to McKay, when,
to the astonishment of all, it was seen
she had not only made a pretty faithful
copy of‘her portrait, but had added the
arms and body to it. .
The audience applauded and Mr. Mc-
Kay was delighted.
"She can do more than that,” he said,
with a smile. "She will now write a
letter.”
'He then handed her a piece of paper .
and a pencil, and Johanna using the
floor 'of her cage for a writing desk,
made several curved lines on the paper
and handed it to McKay.
“I can’t make it out,” he said,‘ “what
she means to say, but I suppose her
chimpanzee relatives in Africa can.”
Mr. McKay spoke in a commendatory
tone to her and she hopped around the
cage, to every hop emitting a gutterai
sound that her keeper said was a laugh
of satisfaction. Of coursb, one had to
take his word for it that it was a laugh,
but it was the queerest laugh one ever
heard. And every time she laughed she
opened her mouth to its fullest width
and tossed her head backward and for-
ward.
“Now, said Mr. McKay, “from joy to
sorrow. You have seen her laugh; now
see her cry.”
He got a soft boiled egg and held it a
few feet from the bars of the cage. J0-
hanna thrust her paw between the bars,
but couldn’t reach the egg, so tempting-
ly near. She began to whine, and Mr.
McKay turned his back to her and walk-
ed away with the eg g. Johanna threw
herself on the floor of the cage shrieking
and crying and beating the bars of her
cage with her paws. She reminded one
ofa child who, not having her way or
not getting what she wanted, gives way
to a paroxysm of grief.
.“There,” said Mr. McKay, “is an il
lustration Of a spoiled child. Now I
must pacify her.” And he gave her the
egg. In less than‘a minute Johanna re-
turned him the best part of the shell,
completely drained of its contents. She
had broken off a small portion of the
shell and had made a thorough job of
the meal it contained.
Mr. McKay next gave her some chew-
ing gum, but she wouldn’t essay it.
“This is not her gum day,” he said,
as Johanna returned the gum to him
with a slow shake of her head, as if to
say. - “No, thank you! Some other
time.” .
The keeper now placed an egg on the
floor, outside of the cage, but far enough
away to be out of her reach. The chim-
panzee tried to get the egg, but her arm
was not long enough. There were some
pieces of paper in her cage, and with
their aid she tried to pull the egg with-
in redch, but failed. Then there was an-
other paroxysm of grief, and, when it
had subsided, Johanna sat looking at
the egg in a ruei’ul sort of way, as if
saying to herself, “So near, and yet so
far.” -
But she had to have the egg. Mr.
McKay, to help her along, dropped a
rope near the cage. She got the rope.
held the two ends in her left paw, and,
with her right, deftly tossed the loop
around the egg and, after several trials,
pulled it within reach and disposed of
it in the same way as she had the first
one.
It was getting dark by this time, and
Mr. McKay said it was time for Johanna
to retire, as she made it a point to go to
bed early every night. So he threw
some rags, bits of bags. and pieces of
blankets and quilts beside her cage and
she took them all to a comer of the
cage, spread them out nicely, lay down
on them and prepared for a good night’s
rest after the fatigue of the exhibition.
McKay was delighted at the way his
charge had deported herself, and all ‘
those present agreed that her exhibition
of intelligence was remarkable.

NOT LEAP YEAR, BUT SHE HELPED.
Jack Was Somewhat Obtuse, and Then,
Too, He Was Going Away,-
A young marriedwoman, the wife of
the private secretary of a. Western Con-
greesman, was one of a party the other
evening talking about leap year.
“I proposed to my husband,” said
she, “and it wasn’t leap year, and I’m
not a new woman.” Every one was
anxious to know how she happened to
‘10 it, for she is a lovely woman of the
womanly type, and the last one inthe
world to ever ask a man to marry her
Then, too, she was a bells, and had
hosts of admirers, many of' whom
her.
“Why, I don’t know how it happened.
You see, Jack had been attentive to me
for y’ears, and every little while would
tell me 'how much he loved me, and ask
me if I could care for him. I put him
elf, and then after two or three years he
began to neglect telling me of his love.
In the meantime I learned to love him,
and tried in every way to make him
speak, but when he called he never
wanted to see me alone, and always
tried to have some of the family about.
’Nhen we were alone he was moody and
silent, and no amount of sweetness on
my part would bring him to answer
afowal.
“At last he called and said he was go-
ing to Washington. That there was no
no ties to hold him, and no one for
whom he especially cared. I used my
best endeavors to dissuade him, and
hinted in every way possible that he
might expect a favrable answer if he
would ask me to marry hiin. Jack said
good-night to the people, and I went to
the door with him. We stood there
quite some time, and I tried so hard to
bring him out, but no use. He spoke
of no one caring for him and all that
sort of thing. Finally we shook hands
and he left. I saw him walk down the
yard, and as he reached the gate I call-
ed him to come back. I had seen him
leave me forever in that minute and
could not stand it. When he came up
the steps, I said:
“ ‘Jack, I care for you a great deal.’
“The rest naturally followed. and we
were married in the spring.”—‘——Washin g
ton Post.

CURED THE HORSE.
But Now “rants Damages from the Vet-
erinary Man.
A young man in Alexander visited
Washington a few days ago and while
here purchased a preparation for curing
horses of ballring. He owns a hand—
some animal that has this fault, a1:
though otherwise it is a. very desirable
horse.
The preparation was to be applied to
the flanks and was guaranteed. He
tested it upon a work horse he possess-
ed, and it operated to perfection. Then
he invited a young lady to go riding
with him, and hitching his handsome
horse to a buggy, started. When a
hill was reached he applied the remedy.
A moment later the swingle tree flew
over his head and the girl fainted; then
the dashboard fell in, followed by a
crash as the floor of the buggy received
a blow from the '“horse’s hoofs. At this
juncture the animal started ahead. as
the seller of the remedy guaranteed. He
took the shafts and front wheels with
him, but left the rest of the vehicle and
the occupants in the road.
The eduple walked three miles to
their homes in silence, and the young
man called upon a laivyer yesterday to
ascertain how much he can recover
from the man who sold him the stud,
as a recompense for the loss of the bug-
gy and the afiections of the girl.—
