Th<> other dav there turnetl up in
I.<mi!on “oid clo’ ’’ establishment a
| wooden snuffbox with an inscription
on the 4i«l which awakened curios-
ity, and led to its transfer to a col-
lector for a few shillings. The in-
scription ran thus: “This box is
made of oak which formed part of
the original foundations of Old
Stock well bridge, Glasgow, a struc-
ture limit by Bishop Rue about the
year 1345, in the reign of King l)a-
vid, son of Robert the Bruce.”
This bridge, known as the “Great
Brig of Glasgow” or the “Bishop’s
bridge,” was for 400 years the sole
means of communication between
the banks of the Clyde. Across it
passed the Regent Murray with his
Glasgow Burgher Auxiliaries on his
way to Langside, Archbishop Beaton
in his Might to France with the citv
records and the cathedral jewels, and
Prince Charlie in his ten days’ so-
journ.
Its twelre-foot-wide passage was
such that two wheelbarrows trembled
when they met, and so crazy did it
txvome that it was enacted that the
whetds of carts should be taken off
and the body slidden across.
But the interest of the snuffbox
does not end there. For, stamped in
the floor of the box is the maker’s
name, “W. Johnston, Auchinleok,”
this Johnston being a famous maker
of the “Mauchlinc snuffboxes” with
the invisible hinge beloved of the
devotees of the weed in powder form.
The invisible hinge had lieen the in-
vention of a Laurencekirk maker,
but a clever Ayrshire smith discov-
ered the secret and started what be-
came afterwards a noted industry
and a profitable manufacture.

COLLEGE FOR MONKEYS.
The University of Chicago may be
well known, but there is another in-
stitution of higher learning that has
spread the fame of Chicago as an
educational center in six continents.
This is Prof. Giacomo Oaletti’a uni-
versity of monkeys, at No. 1525
North Maplewood avenue. Here
scions of the famous old mandril,
Rhqeus, pigmy ape, drill and baboon
families come from foreign parts to
receive a finishing course in the arts
and graces that will fit them for pub-
lic careers. Best known locally of
the alumni is the big mandril in Lin-
coln park. Two years ago this man-
drill, with two others, gave up a long
and honorable career on the stage
and settled down with.Cy De Vry.
Professor Galetti, a Tyrolese, has
Ijoen educating monkeys most of his
sixty-four years, twenty-five of them
in Chicago. “How nftny have I
trained?” he asked. “Figure ;t out
for yourself. The dealers have had
$25,000 worth, and they only cost
from $25 to $75 apiece. Some of
them die of cholera and some of vel-
low fever and some of bites.”—Chi-
cago Record-Herald.
