Now occurred a most curious scene.
The whole monkey r2bble, following
their leader in this rapid movement,
were on the ground almost as soon as
he; and then as many as could, ranged
themselves on each side OF the snake: :
each monkey put his hand ON the rep
tile, clutching hold of the skin OF the
back tightly. At a given signal the
executioners dragged the body of the
writhing snake backward and forward
on the ground, till nothing was left OF
the murderer but the backbone. The
mode of execution was at once sum-
mary and effectual; and, in the way In
which it was carried out, was manifest
the clear understanding which the
monkey language conveys. 1t reminds
me of the lingo of some of the Paharee
tribes of the Himalayas, which consists
of a string or succession of sound like
-biR-hiR-equally unln-
telligible to US rs the gatherings of the
monkey, but very well understand by
the "hoOnoomans" by whom ii is used
even as the monkeys can comprehend
one another.

Monkey Sagacity.

Ii was in a wild, dreary part of the
country, in the plains of India, while
iourneying, that one day friend and
self, saws correspondent, sat down un-
der the shade of an outrageous BAN
van tree, and we were enjoying meal
of various edibles, TO be washed down
by a bottle of Bass's best, when We
were disturbed by the ARRIVAL and the
noise of troop of large black-faced
monkeys-the branches overhead liter
ally swarmed with them. They looked
on us as interlopers, no doubt, and for
some time their gestures appeared so
menacing that we were apprehenstve
they would dispute the ground with
us. But, after time, things seemed to
settle down, and we went on with our
repast in peace. We had jus. risen
from our meal, and were stroll
ing forth from under the shade,
when, TO our surprise, one of the mon
keys, a young one, fell down from
high branch at our feet. 1t was quite
dead. The ciamor that rose above us,
on the occurrence of this calamity, was
deafening. The whole assembly of
monkeys clustered together for con-
fab. Long and loud were the chatter
ings and varied the grimaces of the
tribe, each individual yying with the
other in The loudness of his tongue.
Their looks and gestures made it ap-
parent that they suspected us as being
the cause of the death of their Juvenile
comrade; and, had we had guns in our
hands, or any other murderUus weap-
ons, we should no doubt have been set
upon and maltreated. But we were
unarmed, and the good sense of the
monkeys seemed TO tell them that there
must be some other culprit. Having
come to this conclusion, one monkey
apparently the senior and leader of the
whole tribe, separated himself from the
rest, ran TO the spot on the branch
whence the monkey had fallen, exam
ined it carefully, smelt the branch and
then glided nimbly down one of the
pillars or pendant roots, with which
the banyan-tree is so richly furnished,
and came to the corpse of the monkey,
took i; up, examined it minutely, par
ticularly the shoulder, where there
was wOund-not gun-shOt, but one
smaller. Instinct Immediately turned
suspicion into certainty. lie placed
the corpse on the ground again, and,
turning his gaze in every direction, en-
deavored to pierce the foliage in his
search for the murderer. After lit
tie while something seemed to rivet his
attention; it was but for a moment
the next instant he had mounted the
tree, sprung to the SPOT, and with one
clutch, had seized a long whipsnake
with which he FASTENED to the ground.

\ Cheap Window Garden.

For the beneit of those VINO must
needs consult economy in their striy-
ing after beauty, we will describe a
very inexpensive arrangement for
window garden, which has been tried
and has proved a source of infinite salts
faction for many years. y piece of
board the length of the window sill,
and about a foot and half in width,
was fitted to slide easily within the iu-
side of the casing. As one side is sup
ported by resting upon the sill only two
legs were needed, which were procured
at a turning-shop. \ tin pan exactly
the size of this stand and four inches
in depth, was procured from the tin
man. This was painted both inside
and out, and when ready for use the
bottom was covered with a layer OF
fine charcoal upon which were set four
inch pots filled with slips of gera-
niums, foliage plants, &c. The pots
were not set very closely. the space be-
tween being filled with black mould
from the woods in which were planted
a few wild ferns and vine or two of
that beautiful evergreen creeper so
common in our forests, the Nitchelld re-
pens, sometimes called Squawberry or
Partrldgeberry. The bright scarlet
berries of this vine will increase in size
and remain perfect through the winter
unless there chance TO be little fingers
IN the household, in which case they
will probably mysteriously disappear
before spring. Another native plant,
admirable for our window garden, and
rivaling in beauty many greenhouse
variety, is the GoOdgerd puJeSceRs or Rat
tlesnake-Plantain with its beautifully
veined leaves. Great care must be
taken i'll transplanting these Genizens
OF the wood to disturb the roots as lit
tie as possible. After everything was
in place a layer of moss was spread
over the surface, cOncealing the pots
and adding greatly to the beauty of the
| whole,

Useful Hints to Millers.

In the course of Professor Peek : re-
port on the Minneapolis Touring MIL
explosion, the following among other
sugoestions are made to millers: First
Never use an open light in any part
of the mill. Second-Never light Il
lantern or strike match for any pur-
pose, in any part of the mill where
there is any dust at all. Third-Never
use an ordinary lantern in a spout or
bin where there is draught of air car
rying dust with it. One end OF such
spout or bin should be closed before
the lantern is introduced. \ lantern
should not be placed i'll such LOCALITY
it can be possibly avoided, and, if abso
lutely necessary, a light covered with
a fine wire gauze would be much safer.

The Use of Lemons.

The lemon is native of Asia, al
though it is cultivated in Italy, Po-tu-
gal and France. In Europe, however,
il seldom exceeds dimensions of the
smallest tree, while in its native state
il grows to over six feet in height.
Every part of this tree is valuable In
medicine, though we rarely employ
any of it but its fruit-that is, the lem
on itself: and every one knows how to
employ this, rs in lemonade-to squeeze
the Juice into cold water, or 20 cut it
into slices and let it soak in cold water,
or to cut il into slices and then boil II.
Either way is good lemonade Is one
of the best and safest drinks for any
person, whether in health o. not. Ii is
suitable to all stomach diseases, is eX-
cellent in sickness-in cases of jaun-
dice, gravel, liver complaints, infama-
Iion of the bowels and fever. 1t is
specific against worm and skin COM
plants. The pippins crushed may also
be used with sugar and water as
drink. Lemon-juice is the best of anti
scorbuIic remedies known; ii not only
cures this disease, but prevents it. Sail
ors make daily use of it for this pur-
pose. 1 advise every one TO rub their
gums daily with lemonade TO keep them
in health. The hands and nails
are also kept clean, white, soft and su-
pie by the daily use of lemon Instead OF
soap. Il also prevents chilblains.
Lemon is used in intermittent fevers,
mixed with strong, hot, black coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured
by rubbing the parts affected with
cut lemon. 1t is valuable also to cure
warts, and to destroy dandruf on the
head by rubbing the roots of the hair
with it. In fact its uses are manifold,
and the more we employ it externally
and internally the better we shall find
ourselves. Natural remedies are the
best. and nature is our best doctor, if
we only listen TO il. Decidedly rub
your hands, head and gums with lemon
and drink lemonade in preference to
all other LIQUIDS. This is an old doe
tors advice.

PdteitS for Protecting the Dedd.-ln,
consequence of the increasing number
of graveyard dissertations, the geniusl
cf the inventor has been melted 10 de-
wise means for their defeat. Among
the most recent patents is one for a cof-
fin torpedo, which consists of canis-
ter containing powder, balls and a
firing trigger, so arranged that on
placing the torpedo within the coffin,
and finally closing the lid, should any
attempt be made to open the coffin the
torpedo will be instantly exploded, a
noise like thunder ensue and deadly
balls will fly in all directions. Had
the remains of the late millionaire, Mr..
Stewart, been protected by means of
this invention the neighborhood in
that part of the city where his body
rested would have been alarmed. while
the robbers themselves would doubt
less have suffered sudden death as the
penalty of their rash and sacrilegious
attempt.

-Another Application Of Eiectricity.-A
new and useful application OF electric
ity has been made by an American III
ventor TO the apparatus for reeling silk
from the cocoon. The delicate fla
ments of silk are carried over wire
arms, which are so nicely balanced
that they do not press against the silk
strongly enough To break il, and, in
this relation. a current is kept open.
but if the filament breaks the arm falls,
the circuit is closed, and an electro
magnet instantly stops the reel until
the break is repaired. As the work Is
now done, the detection OF broken
iilament depends entirely upon the
skill of the wOrkmen, and the work
must be carried on slowly that the eye
can note any break, while with this
automatic stop it is said the labor will
be much more rapidly done, and
more uniform thread produced. The
invention is being introduced into
France and Italy, the two great silk
producing countries of Europe.

HANGING GARDEN.-A hanging gar
den of sponge is a very pretty window
ornament. Take a good sized sponge
and SOW it full of rice, oats or wheat,
placing it for a week or ten days in a
shallow dish containing water. The
sponge will absorb the moisture, and
the seeds will begin to sprout before
many days. When this has fairly tax
en- place the sponge may be suspended
by cord from hook at the top of the
window, so as to swing free where 1t
will get little sun. 1t will thus be-
come a living mass of green, and re-
quire but little moisture.

PI-NcTrREp WOUNDS. - Punctured
wounds of the horse are those inflicted
by a pointed body, as nail in the foot,
point of a fork, or splinter OF wood.
These are the most dangerous kind OF
wounds, for they are frequently the
cause of fistula and locked jaw, says
the Modern Horse Doctor. We make it
an inyarirble rule, in the treatment OF
punctured wounds, TO first examine by
probe or otherwise, and remove any
foreign body that may be present, anu
then poultice with flaXseed, into when
we stir "A small quantity OF FIR balsam:
In Duncture of the foot by nail, instead
of plastering it with tar, and forcing
tent into the orifice, and then covering

smiths are wont TO do. we have the shoe
taken of, the foot washed clean, and
moderately warm poultice applied, ana
renewed daily, until the suppuratiye
stage commences. That once establish

many men, as well as animals, have
lost theii lives from the absorption oil

ternal breach had healed. When bone
Is injured by the point OF nail, or fork,
the cure is rather tedious; the primary
wounds, however. are the same. Ibe
poultices may be followed by astringent
injections, as alum water, etc. In case
of injury to the bone, we use pyrolls,,

Engineers of steamships have found
that the best lubricants are glycerine
for the cylinders and castor oil for the
bearings. When castor oil is used the
main bearings seldom become heated.
Only the best glycerine can be emplyed
with advantage, but when it is of a
hign grade the results leave but little
to be desired.
