A New Use For Monkeys.

The newest service rendered by
monkeys to mankind was recently
illustrated in London, In one Of the
school districts too many parents re-
ported no children in their families,
and in order to ascertain the real
number Of children in the district
the school officers resortcd to an in
genious measure. Two monkeys
were gaily dressed, put in a wagon,
and accompanied by a brass band,
were carried through the streets of
the district. AT once crowds of chill
dren made their appearance. The
procession was stopped in park, and
the school officers began their work;
distributing candies to the young
stcrs, they took their names and ad-
dresses. They found out that over
sixty parents kept their children
from school. The ingenious measure
brought TO the school about two hun.
dred boys and girls.

Of a veritable hermit. In 1855 there
appeared in town an old gray.headed
man who seemed TO have been the
victim Of some great i'll fortune. He
gave no account Of himself, but sim.

Augustine. He was a man Of much
learning and extensive reading, but
did not hold much communication
with his fellows. He selected the
high peak above town the placeoi

ed there solitary and alone upon the
highest pinnacle Of the mountain
He abhorred fire, and never lighted
even candle save on one day Of
each week, when he kept three small
tapers burning. He was a religious
deyotee who appeared to be doing
penance for an early life of sin; or
perhaps for some crime. His history
was shrouded in mystery. Hespoke
French and Spanish huently, and
some English. His religious zeal
and mysterious habits and life crea.

natives Of the surrounding settle

withsuperstitiousawe andreverence.
They thought it their duty to aid
him, and during the whole time Of
his abode in the mountains they car
ried him food and provisions. In
this way be existed likethe patriarch

three years Of self.imposed exile he

From Bernal Hill he journeyed into
