A correspondent of the Boston Com
neTcidi Bulletin gives the following
graphic account of fight with monkeys:
A vessel was anchored off Columbo, on
the southwestern side of the island; on
Sunday the men asked permission to
take the boat and go on shore, and their
request was granted, the captain send
ing the second mate with them "to look
after things" They pulled around into
little inlet below the city and landed.
For wonder they did not care about
visiting the town, but preferred stroll
in the woods, which upon this morning
appeared to be entirely deserted.
About a quarter of mile from where
they left the boat one of the party spied
very young monkey lying at the foot
of a tree. This was too much of q prize
for Jack to pass by.
Though warned by the second mate
not to disturb the infant protege of
Darwin, they seized the little fellow and
essayed to bear him off in triumph.
Hereupon young Jocko emitted a
series of yells that caused the forest in
the midst of which they were wandering
to re-echo for many rods around. If the
sailors thought themselves to be the only
occupants of the wood they were speedily
undeceived, for scarcely a moment had
elapsed since the utteance of the first
cry by their little prisoner before every
tree swarmed with indignant members
of the monkey tribe They ran along
the branches over the heads of the
wanton disturbers of their peace,
chattering and screaming and only wait
ing an opportunity to wreak summary
vengeance upon the kidnapers.
An order from the officer to "make
for the boat was promptly obeyed.
When the monkeys saw their enemy on
full retreat they formed in solid body
and followed hurriedly in their wake.
Sticks, stones, and every available missile
was hurled furiously at the heads of the
flying sailors. In vain did they drop
their prize, hoping that it might pacify
their enraged pursuers. 1t was not so
only one dropped out of the ranks, to
gather up in its hairy embrace the un-
offending object of the fray while the
others rushed on more frantically than
ever.
Reaching the boat, they had not time
to jump in, but showed her off from the
shore, clinging to the gunwales, and
crawling in only when some distance
had been placed between them and their
foe
When they had arrived at safe place
to lay they rested on their oars and curl
ously scanned the ihfuriated army on
the beach. There appeared to be thou
sands of them, running up and down,
in wild confusion, and hurting stones
far out into the water in the direction of
the boat.
Nor did the sailors get off "scot free,"
for there was not one among them but
what had received some injury at the
hands, OF rather paws, of this army of

DAYS without Nights.

There is nothing that strikes a
stranger more forcibly, If he visits
Sweden in June, than the absence Of
night. At Stockholm, for example, the
sun goes down q little before 10 o'clock
p. NJ; but he passes around the earth and
is only just below the north pcle short
time; there is a great brightness all
night, and such that you can see to read
at midnight.
There is mountain at the head of the
Gulf of Bothnia, where, on the twenty
first of June, the sun does not go down
at ALL Travellers 60 there to see it. A
steamboat goes up from Stockholm for
the purpose of carrying those who are
curious to witness the phenomenon. 1t
only occurs one night. The sun goes
down to the horizon, you can see the
whole face of it, and in five minutes it
begins to rise.
At the North Cape, latitude seventy
five degrees, the sun does not go down
for several weeks. In June it would be
about twenty-five degrees above the
horizon at midnight. The changes in
those high latitudes, from summer to
winter, are so great that we can have no
conception of them. In the winter the
sun disappears in the south and is not
seen for six weeks. Then it just shows its
face. Afterward it remains ten, fifteen
or twenty minutes, and then descends,
and finally it makes almost a circle
around the heavens.
Animal life accommodates itself to
these long days. Birds and animals take
their accustomed rest at the usual hours.
They go to rest whether the sun goes
down or not. The hens take to the trees
about Z o'clock P. NJ, and sit there
until the sun is well up in the morning,
and the people get into the habit of late
rising too. Longfellow tells us of his
visit to a village where, although the
sun was shining, not soul was to be
seen in the streets.

Tact.

People cannot help being born with
out tact, any more than they can help
having no ear for music; but there are
occasions when it is almost impossible
to be charitable to q tactless person.
Yet people who have no tact deserve
pity. They are almost always doing or
saying something to get themselves into
disgrace, or which does them an injury.
They make enemies where they desire
friends, and get reputation for ILL
nature which they do not deserve.
They are also constantly doing other
people harm, treading on metaphorical
corns, opening the cupboards where
family skeletons are Kept, angering
people, shaming people, saying and
doing the most awkward things and
apologizing for them with still more
terrible bluntness. If there is one
social boon more to be desired than
another, it is tact, for without tact the
career of the richest and most beautiful
is often utterly ruined.

Raising Celery.


This delicious and wholesome vege-
table is more largely used and more
thoroughly appreciated every year, and
no one who has garden should fail to
raise 1t. A correspondent of the Ne,C
England Farmer gives some instructions
for raising it. He says: Celery de-
mands the very best of land, the best of
skill, and more labor than any other
crop. The land should have been titled
with some hoed crops for at least two
years previously, and if, in these years,
1t has been very heavily manured, and
kept free from weeds, it will be in pretty
good order. Celery requires heavy man.
uring to do well, and it is a good plan to
plow in coarse manure in the fall as
preparation for the crop; but if the
manure must be applied in spring, it
should be worked very fine and mixed
thoroughly with the soil in therows where
the celery is to be grown. 1t is some
times grown as a second crop, after
onions, early cabbage, lettuce, potatoes,
or greens. The land is made ready as
early as possible in April, and when
raised with onions, every sixth or seventh
row is sown with celery at the same time
rs the onion seed is sown. AS celery
seed is very small, it takes a good deal
OF preparation to make the land fine
enough to insure its termination.
AS weeds of all sorts grow so very
much faster than celery, many gardeners
prefer to start their celery under hot
bed about April l. For this purpose
very little heat is required, but care must
be taken to keep the bed moist, and the
best way to do this is to spread over it a
piece of old bagging (burlap), which
must be removed as soon as the seed
begins to sprout The plants can be
taken from this bed and set out in the
field in May, when the soil is moist
after rain. If it is required to clear
up q piece of lettuce OF greens OF other
early crop in June, and then plant
celery, the plants will need to be pricked
out from the seed bed in May, into a
plant bed at about three inches apart,
where they can stand till June, or even
July, before transplanting to the field.
The more celery is transplanted, how
ever, the more likely it is to go to seed,
instead of growing a good stool.
Celery is planted in rows seven or
eight feet apart and one foot between the
plants in the row. The old plan of set
ting the plants in trenches is not prac-
ticed now; the plants are set on level
land and need frequent hoeing and hand
wedding until the final banking up,
which is done about two or three weeks
before it is wanted for use or market.
Thus, if wanted for use in September,
the weather being warm, the celery will
blanchin ten days after the last banking.
In October, when the weather is colder,
it will take two OF three weeks.
