THE natural history editor Of the Lex
isgton Press tells this: "A lnly resid
ing in II city not hundred miles from
Lexington is the posscssor of two pets-a
monkey and parrot-who are by no
means congonial friends in fact Mrs. c.
was in the habit Of locking up the mon
key whenever she left the house, for fear
Of his bcligerent qualities. One evening,
alas d! she neglected to do so, and the
monkey coming in found the parrot rife
for fight and II very desperate one en-
sued. The monkey ruthlessly pulled out
every feather OF the unfortunate parrot,
and broke up the mantle ornaments, and
smashed things generally. When Mp
G. returned, she found the monkey chat
tering on the mantle piece, and out crcpt
the psrrot, looking deeply injured, and
greeted her with, We've had HI of
Il time. The appropriateness of the re-
mark caused shout Of laughter"

NUMBER 7.

REMARKRLE LONGEVITY There is Mt
present, in Vallejo, waiting n job in the
carpenters department at the navy yaid,
an old gentleman named j. p j. David
son, of whom the Vallejo Chronicle gives
the following account: ain 1913 and
1914 he was employed in Charleston, in
the building OF the Independence, the
receiving ship now lying at Mare Island
He also assisted in building other war
vessels, and in 1923 he went to Constant
inoplc, and assisted in building the Turk
ish fleet. He is full of hope and spirit,
aad has lately come to the conclusion that
his handwriting is not quite good enough,
and so he takes lessons in pcnma6ship.
In 1872 and 1878 he served s Me Amcri-
can army and navy, and yet feels himself
quite capable of handling muskct. In
1913 he helped to build the fleet which
served under Commodore Perry. Mr..
Davidson has hsndrd us gencalogy If
his family, copied from his family regis
ter, by which he traces back his ancestry
to Thorwaldscn, Il Dane, who landed in
Scotland with Canutc in l0ll. The de-
sccHdants from that time down to tha
present century appear To have been dis
tinguishcd for their valor in bate and
longevity. In this gcncaogy we find tie
names of SIXTY of Mr.. Davidson's anc,s-
tors. Two of them attained the ripo oil
age " l6S years each before shuilipg ON
this mortal coil four others lived 10 be
over 100 years, seven more died les dss
these who We're 40, and nineteen lived
more than century. One was untmely
killed in his ldSth year, and another was
stricken down ON the field of battle at 40
years. Altogether, the longevity of Mr..
Davldson's ancestors, as given by his
family register, is one of tl~ most wen
dertul things of the kind ever brought 10
our notice"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1873-02-15

Social INTERCOURSE Men who $50
late themselves from society, and have
no near and dear family ties, cannot un-
derstond the joy Of living. Why, the
man who cares for nobody, ard FOR whom
nobody cares, has nothing to live for that
will pay for the keeping Of body and soul
together. You must have a heap pof cmbcrs
to have n glowing fire. Scatter them
apart, and they become dim and cold.
So, to have brisk, vigorous life, you
must have n group of lives to keep each
warm, TO afford mutual encouragement,

be sympathetic, and labor earnestly for
the good Of your kind. 1t was Byron
