HERE are two anecdotes that recently
drifted past on the stream of chit-chat
at q dinner party. An American gen.
tleman, while takinga walk in London
one day, CHANGED to behold in a gro
GERS window an immense pile Of hams
stamped with the name and address OF
q dealer in Chicago. while overhead
hung q placard inscribed: BEST Cana
dian hams-one shilling and six pence
per pound" The proprietor of the es-
adjustment CHANGED TO come to the
door, and the gentleman called his at
tention to the incongruity Of selling
Chicago hams as q Canadian product.
..Ah, yes. yesr' exclaimed the grocer
with an air of conviction, Chicago is
one of the United States: I had forgot
ten that" Next comes the story Of an
illiterate dame who possessed q very
fine gallery of pictures, including spe-
cimens of the old masters as well as of

course with small facts relative to the

PiIfering Of French Servants.

AN American lady died in a private
hospital in Paris. She was well-to-do
in the world. possessed a handsome
wardrobe and no inconsiderabie amount
of jewelry. When her trunks were
forwarded to her friends every article
of any value had disappeared. There
vas not a piece of jewelry oil any kind
to be found, not even her watch. All
smaller articles, such as laces. hand
kerchiefs, stockings. etc., were mss
ing. Some hours had undoubtedly been
permitted to elapse between the time
of her death and that of the a!lixing
of the seals, and the time had been made
good use of. Then there was a case
that showed an audacity at pilfering al
tOgther uncommon, even on the part OF
a French servant, which took place at
one of the fashionable Partisan hotels
some time ago. An American lady,
who was in delicate health, but who
was by no means considered an invalid
either BY her friends or herself. died
suddenly from some malady OF the
heart during the temporary absence OF
her husband in America. This lady
possessed a head of hair of unwonted
fuxuriance and beauty, the long, thick
tresses when lOosened falling almost to
the floor when she stood up, although
she was by no e a short Oma
When the body was prepared for inter-
ment, a few hours after her sudden de-
mise. every vestiee of this marvellous
hair had disappeared, and it was with
difficulty that a friend of the family
who wa present contrived to secure a
lock of sufficient dimensions to fill a
locket as a relic for the absent hus-
band. Suspicion naturally pointed to
the favorite French maid of the de-
ceased as the perpetrator of this auda-
cious and sacrilegious theft. but there
was no positive proof of her guilt.
There were other persons who had &c
cess to the room where the body lay,
and the verdict, as is usual in such
| cases when occurring to Americans
abroad. was-no redreSs.-Pdris Cor.

A Striking Resemblance.

We once told q story OF two Shakers
down East who SO nearly resembled one
another in certain characteristics. Here
Is another somewhat like unto it "a
story of two brothers, who were law
yers, and prRcticing in the same town
which is certainly worth telling:
A certain gentleman requiring legal
assistance had been recommended to
one of the two brothers, but had forgot
ten the Christian name OF him he
sought, so he called at the office OF the
one first found and asked for MIR.

"There you hit us both again, SIR"

mended has recently been ccuse oil

."There we are again, my dear Sir.
We have both had that gentle insinua-
ton laid at our DOORS"
"Well, upon my word. you two
brothers bear a striking resemblance.
But l guess l have it now. The one
am after is in the habit of occasionally
drinking to excess-sOmetimes to intox-
~icatiOn."
INV dear man, that little vice is, un-
fortunately, characteristic of the pair OF
us; and l doubt if our best friends could
tell YOU which was the worst"
"Wen. you are a matched pair. GER

The Monkeys Friend.

SAYS a writer in the London World i:
Frank auckland. the friend of fisher
men and monkeys, is, / am sorry to
saw, in failing health. Owing to the
dropsical nature Of his complaint, he
finds walking difficult as if. to use his
own expression, his legs were in Wei
lington boots full of water. NOtwith-
standing those physical troubles, life is
full of interest to the naturalist. MI.
auckland at home is surrounded by all
his pets, from dried gorillas to living
creatures of everv sort He sits in
John Hunters chair, regardless of un-
comfortable angles, and considers it
more delightful than the downiest of
touches without historical interest;
and the angles, too, are 70 convenient
for the monkeys. They q sit aloft
and watch the progress of the Fishery
Commissioners reports, and pounce
down among proof-sheets at will. Mr..
Jamrach, a retired organ-monkey. is a
great favorite with his master, and
shares with him the frugal meal to
which his doctors limit him. There is
not much ceremony observed On these
occasions, for everything is turn about,
even to the claret and water. The ex-
preston Of the monkeys face, as it sits
watching an opportunity for . raid. I
have only seen equaled in the children
brought to our London hospitals from
poverty-stricken homes. The face OF
the starved human baby lit up with .
CLEAN of gratitude to the nurse, and
the face OF the spoiled monkey, sitting
in mute sdmiration Of his kindly
master, are alike to q wrinkle.
