Large apes of naturally intelligent breed,
are put to good service in the Straits settle
ments of the east. They are trained to
climb the cacoanut palm trees, valuable for
their fruit, which ordinarily, is difficult to
reach, and not only harvest the nuts but
always select such as are ripe. They twist
the nut round and round until it falls down
from the stalk, and at each success testify
their delight by jumps and chuckles. Apes
so trained are hired out by their owners
like so many field hands.

1t is an old reproach against Oriental,
that they can not understand joke and
that they are still less able to say pretty
things to ladies; but a daughter of Louis
XIV, the princess dc Cont, inspired the
Moorish ambassador with as gracefully
turned a compliment as can be imagined.
She had rallied against the Mohammedan
custom of polygamy, and the Moor thus
defended the practice: Madame, plur-
ality of wives is allowed among us, because
in our country we must seek in several
women the charming qualities which are
here to be found in one"

DRESS on THE SrAGE.-Of all the places in
the world, one would suppose that the
theatre, which Of late years has gone
altogether to realism and Il certain excru.
clating fitness of material would be the
last to violate good taste in dress. But in
fact 1t leads the way in impropriety. No.
where but on the stage do ladies wear full
dress and trains at picnics and get blown
up by steamboats, in full opera suits. No.
where else do they array themselves in
brocadc satin to violate the commandments
and put on silk velvet to take poison.
Here, but nowhere else, do they flee across
the continent in pink slippers, pursued by
Indians, and sit down to casual intrigue in
bosky glens with nothing on but lawn and
lace. If we are to believe the stage. the
lady of society changes her costume with
every situation in life, and has colors appro.
pirate to every emotion of the human
heart.

English channel is supposed to be of solid
chalk, many hundred feet thick, extending

Paris. Through this soft material the con.

authorizing the work having already passed
through the House of Commons.
There is scarcely trade or manuactprc
