True Stories About Animals.

There was trouble in the Amenagerie
last Saturday. 1t seems that the large
black monkey had got out some way or
other, and climbed up in front of the big
tank in the aquarium and called the. seal
ga blarsted furriner," and when the
seal retorted by calling him a "Sene-
gambian nut cracket,S' the monkey
reached in over the glass and pulled a
bald spot in her seal-skin sacque, and
then there was row.
'sPut up your fippers and lead at
him, shouted the leopard, encourage
ingly to the seal.
"Here, you mustn't bite, scratch nor
pull hair" said the bear to the monkey.
Slight fair
And when that rule was applauded
and approved by the crowd, the monkey
quit fighting and sat down and cried,
and said that just barred him clear out.
"Clear in, you mean, =" interrupted the
zebra, "and besides you're not barred
out half so much as 1 am
"And every body was down on him,
anyhow" the monkey sobbed on,

"There's more down on me than
there is on you,'' said the swan, "and

az can lick the biggest seal in this
menagerie, awailed the friendless mon
key, to which the seal scornfully replied
that he couldn't lick a postage stamp,
and at this taunt the monkey broke out
afresh, and the menagerie reviled and
encouraged him by turns.
"Why don't you bristle upP" the wild
boar asked him.

your head up"
"And throw out your chest and have
some style about you," yelled the pea
cock.
"And hump yourself and have little
backbone, said the camel.
"And stand up for your rights said
the kangaroo.
ssAnd what will he do for his lefts,
you club-tailed parabola?'' said the ele-
plant who had just come into the tent,
and every body could see that he was in
4 bad humor. He turned on the weep
ing monkey. "Get into your cage this
minute, you son of a cocoa nut, or III hit
you such swipe with this Saratoga
that you'll think whole baggage car
has run over YOU"
The animals were all perfectly quiet
wondering what had happened and what
was coming next. The elephant glared
around at the cages and then shook his
head savagely.
"I'd give bale of hay" he said after
a while, if 1 knew which one of you
living curiosities and geological wonders
sent me that bottle of anti-fat.''
And then, children, one wild whoop
of laughter went up from all the cages,
which eliminated in shrieks of delight
when the enraged elephant sucked all
the water out of the seals tank and
spirited it all over the monkeys. 1t was
the worst rain they ever had in the
menagerie, and it was a lucky thing
somebody didn't get killed. AS it was,
the little brown monkey with the gray
face had spasms all night, all three of
were so sleepy the next day they didn't
have to show.-Burlington Hawkeue.

Mr.. Hudson entered the room, and
was somewhat surprised to see the
identical three young men who had in
suited him on the street; they were
smoking cigars, and had their feet ele
waited on the bureau, mantelpiece and
bedstead. Mr.. Hudson saw at once that
he was in confusion, and Sehmour's ac-

ertheless, his employer started con-
'versation, and had been there but few
minutes when a footstep was heard on
the stairs; the door opened Il little and
a bottle of champagne came rolling
across the floor, followed by round
Dutch cheese, bunch of cigars and two
more bottles. Sehmour looked dread
fully distressed, but could do nothing.
1t was : fourth friend, who had been
lout after refreshments, and took this
facetiOus mode of introducing them into
the chamber. Mr.. Hudson thought it
was time for him to go, SO he took his
leave and retured to his home.
Mr.. Hudson was not long making up
his mind as to which one of his clerks
would make the most faithful and eff

was announced in the,papers that Her

-Pelerine collars of lace are amo ng
the novelties imported for spring. They
are large, round collars, reaching far
down on the shoulders and finished
around the neck with a very full ruff.
Four rows of lace, two or three inches
wide, are laid in fine plaitings
around the collar, and are divided in
sections on the shoulders and back by
lengthwise rows of insertion. A dog
collar of satin ribbon is tied around the
fraise to hold it in place, and a bow
fastens the front. Point d'esprit,
Languedoc, and Breton laces are most
used for these pelerines. Ivory-satin
ribbon is liked for bows, as it may be
used with every dress.

A Leap-Year Proposal.

MOI many miles from S3n Juan-nOt
more than fifteen-resides a young
farmer, who is not over twenty-five
years of age. He has considerable of
the requisite-the coin. Up to within a
very short time he had led a lonely life,
but thanks to the year 1880, which has
proved his salvation-a young lady has
proposed to him and he is now enjoying
her society as his wife. The following
is the way it was brought about: The
young man had every qualification for
business man, but notwithstanding ali
this was extremity bashful and blushcd
clear to his ears every time he caught
sight of a young lady. Moreover, he
imagined he was a fright to behold, and
no girl would condescend to look with
favor upon him. In fact, it was his
opinion that he was destined to lead o
life of single blessedness all the days he
might wander about on this terrestrial
sphere. One day, however, he stopped
at the house where resided a lovely girl.
She had seen how shy he was on every
occasion and became infatuated with
the peddler of apples and garden truck,
and was determined that the ice should
be broken, as leap-year had arrived,
which gave her every privilege in this
particular granted to the sterner sex.
The young lady therefore walked up to
him, as he stood by the well, and, call
ing the young man by his given name,
asked him why he did not get married.
Hereplied with characteristic non-esteem
that he didn't think there was anybody
who would have him. "Why," replied
the young lady with great fervency, 81
will have you" The young man turned
red and stammered by turns, but finally
he did manage to tell her Cali right"
Arrangements were made at once for
the marriage ceremony, and in less than
a week they were living together as man
and wife, happy as birds in a nest

THE Supreme Court of Indiana de-
cides that the legal name of a person
consists of one Christian name and a
surname. Any person may have as
many middle names, or initials, as arc
given him or as he chooses to take.
They do not affect his legal name, and
may be inserted or not in deed or con-
tract without affecting its validity. Nor
does a mistake in the middle initial of
a name, in a deed, in any way affect its
validity.

Mr. PARNELL did rather neat stroke
at Pittsburg, according to the Telegraph
Of thst city. He had been working
hard and was very tired. Accordingly
ad it arranged so that he arrived at
the Union Depot on the Cincinnati
Express, at 8:11 a. M, was met by a
couple of gentlemen who were in his
confidence, and proceeded to a hotel,
where he had his dinner. He then went
to the Union Depot again and pretended
that he came in on the Pacific Express,
at 1:26 p. M, thus getting several
hours of quietness and rest. Nobody
knew of this little stratagem except the
gentlemen referred to.
SPRrxG CLoTHNG.-The reappear-
snce of green lawns, bright sunshine
and singing birds is quite calculated to
allure one to adopt light flannels and
less protecting coverings. Bear con-
stantly in mind, that air in motion is
colder than air at rest. With March
winds, the thermometer above the
freezing point may entirely misrepre-
sent the effective temperature. We
have before inustrated this proposition
by referring g tho habit of using a fan
in summer When the thermometer is
in the nineties and the face is bathed
with perspiration. one is able to keep
comfortably cool by air set in motion
by that little device we call fan. II
is questionable if in the New England,
Middle and Western States the clothing
should not be thicker and warmer in
March than in January.-Dr. Foote':
