Almost all apes have beards. Dar­ win says that gorillas, chimpanzees and orang outangs have also stiff and bristly hairs upon their upper lips, re­ sembling: cats' whiskers. The beards of apes possess a remarkable resem­ blance to those of men, In being al­ most invariably lighter in color than the hair of the head. In apes the chin growth Is most frequently yellow or red, becoming white in age. It is common to both sexes, although more strongly developed In the male. Apes --and monkeys also--have eyebrows as well, which do not grow thickly to­ gether as In human beings, but are scattered through the hair, covering the part of the face which would be called the forehead In man. Caaacetlcat'* Negro Oorer«ew( , The negroes of Connecticut were formerly accustomed to elect a gov­ ernor for themselves. "Negro elec­ tion," as it was called, generally took place on the Saturday following the election day of the whites. Just what the negro governor's duties and priv­ ileges were does not appear. At all events, he was respected as "gubern- or" by the negroes throughout the state. The custom was established be­ fore the Revolutionary war and was continued as late as 1820. The Bine Scarecrow. The farmer's scarecrows were all garbed In blue. "A blue scarecrow," said the man, "does more good "than ten ordinary ones, for birds hate and fear blue as you and I hate and fear typhoid and consumption.

Number of pupils enrolled* It \ J * Item* € tipped from The Ptxindealer Ptttl- i in tied January 5 1881 --Particularly Interesting to Old Resident*. N. A. Alfing, a former resident of this place, but now of Rochester, N. Y., is visiting amoug friends here. We have just read a handkerchief flir­ tation code, and advice all men desiring to avoid breach of promise suits wipe their mouths with their coat tails. The first lecture of tne McHenry lec­ ture association will be delivered at the Universalist church on Tuesday next, Jan. 11th, by Rev. W. S. Balch of Elgin. We learn that a young man who lives west of this village had a long red hair taken from behind his ear on New Year's day. At last accounts he was doing as well as could be expected. ; A (California trout, weighing about two pounds, was caught in the river last week. Two years agQ 25,000 of these fish were put in the river by. the fish commissioner. They were then about an inch in length. This is the first that has been known to have been caught, and proves that they have grown rapidly. Isaac Harsh, who lives near Ringwood, had the misfortune to be kicked in the face by his young stallion on Friday lastand injured severely, and although no bones were broken it is a miracle that he was not killed. Dr. H. T. Brown was called who dressed the wound and at the time of writing he is doing as well as oould be expected. , The contractors finished their work on the hew bridge to-day, Wednesday, and nothing now remains to be done but the grading at the ends, which we presume will be immediately attended to by the commissioners. Travel has not been interrupted a single day since the bridge was commenced, a solid bridge of ice covering the river during the entire time. The New Year's party at the River­ side House was attended by one hun­ dred and eighty-seven couples, and all report a tip-top time. For so large a crowd we never saw a more quiet and orderly one. All seemed bent on hav­ ing a good time and we jndge they suc­ ceeded. Mine host Wightman left nothing undon to make it pleasant for all, and the large crowd disperssdin the morning well pleased. ' The Grip. "Before we can sympathise with oth­ ers, we must have suffered ourselves." No one can realise the amount of suf­ fering attendant upon an attack of the grip unless he has had the actual exper­ ience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and men­ tal agony, or which so successfully de­ fies medical aid. All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has not reoovered. For sale by G. W.

McClure's Magasine is bought and read in homes not because It jh ft magazine, but because it is THE magazine. Why? FIRST--THE PRICE. It costs but one dollar a year, or less than ten cents a number, for over thirteen hundred two-column pages of read­ ing matter.

The reading matter is written by America's leading writers--the best short story writers, the best writers on timely articles, the best writers of important serials, such aa Schurz's Reminis­ cences or Baker's Railroad articles. * THIRD--TIMELINESS. The reading matter in McClure's is not only good; it is not only entertaining, amusing, instructive and inspiring --it is also about the subjects in which you *nd aU Americans are most interested at the time. No subjects in the next twelve months are going to be so important as the question of railroad rates and rebates and the question of life insurance. Both of these questions will be discussed by authorities in an impartial, careful, interesting way. FOURTH--ITS CHARACTER.
