as we sit before the fire, and make ready
for their journey to "Sleepy-Land."
"When your grandfather was lad
about twelve years old, an uncle of his
made a voyage to South America, and
brought home as a present to h1n nephew
fine large monkey. OF course Mas
ter Richard was very much pleased and
the frolicsome pet would have warm
welcome from the whole household, had
not the uncle seen fit to report some Of
Jocko's FRANKS on shipboard. ina
9d "This put the young ladies on their
guard. But old Bella, the cook, never
seemed prepared for his capers and the
fuss she made over them pleased Jocko
so much, that she became the object of
his attacks. asam
One day Bella went to the city. and
brought home fine new bonnet In
large banabox. During the evening she
showed 3twith great pride to the young
ladies: and, unknown to her, Joclzo en-
joyed the sight of the ribbons and laces
and flowers from behind the parlor sofa.
De-" Like Bella herself, he was fond of
fnery; and the bonnet seemed to him a
very fit garment for monkey to wear.
So the next morning, while Bella was
busy in the kitchen, Jockc went to her
closet, took out her bandbox, dressed
himself In the bonnet, and stole down
the back-stairs. t..F s,ssysrf eosar.
bella, hearing a noise, looked
around, and there he was, his head lit
orally lost in a sea of red and yellow
ribbons, With a shout of rage she
seized the broomstick and hurried aft 7r
the thief. But before she could reach
him, Jocko had mounted two flights of
stairs, sleaped out on the porch, and
climbed up to the roof Of the house.
=" There he rested and there he was
when the whole household, frightened
by Bella's shrieks, came running up to
see what was the matter. In vain Bella
scolded. In vain Richard coaxed and
threatened. Jocko would not come
down until he had finished his work ;
for he was busily engaged in tearing
poor Bella's bonnet into fragments.

stroyed, her screams grew louder and
louder and nothing could move her
from her determination to kill the moi
key, except the promise of a gayer bon.
net than the one that Jocko had stolen.

the poor fellow would have gone supper
less great many times, had it not been
for his devoted young MASTER" 70 %

A woman may be handsome or re-
markably attractive in various wavs !:
but, if she is not personally neat She
cannot hope to win admiration. Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern.
A young woman with her hair always in
disorder and her clothes hanging about
her as if suspended from q prop, is
always repulsiye. Slattern is written on
her person from the crown of her head
to the soles of her feet, and If she wins
q husband, he will turn out, in all proba-
bility, either an idle fool or drunken
rufian. The bringing up of daughters
to be able to work, talk andgact like
honest, sensible young women is the
special task of all mothers, and in the
industrial ranks there is imposed also
the prime obligation of learning to re-
spect household work for it's own sake.

the Mint investigation to-day
Thos. McAuley, assistant melter

by the complainants to prove that
Mr.. Dodge, Superintendent, knew
that bullion unfit for coinage was
sent to the coiner. The witness
testified such to be the fact as he
said the melter and refiner had
often complained Of the fact, but
the testimony was not allowed as
1t was not shown that complaints
were made to Dodge. Witness
stated that the oftener bullion was
remelted the more loss the govern
ment sustained from wastage. F..
B. Cieott, until lately coiner of the
Mint, testified that In some cases
the bullion sent to his department
for coinage was exceptionally bad
and the metal had to be rehandled,
entailing additional expense.
He called Dodge's attention to
the badness of the metal. He &C.
companied him to the, coiner's
room and showed him the, evils Of
using bad metal, hnt there wasyno
remedy applied to do away with
the evil. On account Of the infe.
