A Family of Monkeys,

Hindoos do not hurry themselves in
anything they do, but the monkeys
have lots OF time to spare and plenty of
patience, and in the end, after the crow
has stolen a little, and the dog had its
morsel, and the children are all salts
fed, the poor fragments Of the meal are
thrown out on the ground for the blum
der-logue, the monkey people; and it
is soon discussed-the mother feeding
the baby before she eats herself. When
every house thus, in turn, has been WIS.,
tied, and no chance of further tout
door relief remains, the monkeys 90
off to the well. The women are all
here again, drawing the water for the
day, and the monkeys sit and wait, the
old ones in front, sententious and seri-
GUS, and the youngsters rolling about in
the dust behind them, till at last some
girls see the creatures waiting, and, lin
the name Of rain,'' spill 10th full of
water in a hollow of the ground, and
the monkeys come round it in a circle
and stoop down and drink, with their
tails all curled up over their backs like
notes of Interrogation. There is no con-
tention. or jostling. A forward child
gets box over the ear, perhaps, but
each one, as it has satisfied its thirst,
steps quietly out of the circle and wipes
its mouth. The day thus fairly COM
menced, they go off to see what luck
may bring them. The grainkeeper's
shop tempts them to loiter, but the ex-
Perience of previous attempts makes
theft hopeless; for the baunya, with all
his years, is very nimble on his legs and
an astonishing good shot with pipkin.
So the monkeys make their salaams to
him and pass on to the fields. If the
corn is ripe they can soon eat enough
for the day; but if not. they 60 wander
ing about picking up morsels, here an
insect and there berry, until the sun
gets too hot, and then they creep up in
to the dark shade of the mango and
snooze through the afternoon. In the
evening they are back in the village
again to share its comforts and enter
tainments. They assist at the convoca-
ton Of the elders and the romps Of the
children, looking on when the faquir
comes up to collect his little dues of
salt, corn and oil, and from him in their
turn exacting pious toll. They listen
gravely to the village musician until
they get sleepy, and then one by one
they Chamber up into the peepul. And
the men sitting round the fire with their
pipes can see, Il they look up, the whole
colony Of !. the blunder logue asleep in
rows in the tree above them.

A California Find.

A California woodchopper, we arc

which he put under a hen, and it pro-

A Maine man has invented an cleo

bell-rope system.
stu&ng an Elephant.
The carcass Of an elephant, who last
year figured prominently in circus, is
now being prepared for exhibition in
the National Museum at Washington.
All the bones have been preserved and
have been cleaned, and are now being
carefully articulatcd. When this is
completed, the elephant in his bones
and the elephant in his skin will be set
up, side by side, on pedestals in the Ma
tional Museum, and an unprecedented
public can judge as to the respective
merits of these costumes for summer
wear. The method employed in pre-
pairing such huge mass as this ele-
plant for the museum is q very inter-
esting one. AS the bones were to be
used, another skeleton had to be made.
This was effected by building wooden
framework of the proper dimensions.
Over this framework tow was spread,
| and on the top was placed q coating of
soft mud. The skin was then drawn
over, and the pliablc mud foundation
preserved all the irregularities Of the
skin, SO that it looks exactly as 1t did
when on the live elephant. The trunk
hangs in natural position. with the
end slightly curled up from the ground.
The eyes, made by q celebrated opti-
clan, are exact counterfeits of the nat
ural eye; so that, when the elephant
gets mounted on its pedestal in the mu-
scum, it will look decsittully alive.

A Child Worth Her WEIGHT in Gold.

A few years ago steamer was COM
ing from California. The cry of s.Fire!
tire?' suddenly thrilled every heart. Ev-
cry effort was made to stay the flames,
but in vain. It soon became evident
that the ship must be lost. The burn.
ing mass was headed for shore, which
was not far off.
A passenger was seen buckling his
belt of gold around his waist, ready to
plunge into the waves. just then a
pleading voice arrested him
please, sir, can you swim?"
A child's blue eyes were piercing into
his deepest soul as he looked down up
on her.
Eyes, child, can swim.''
''Well, sir, won't you please save
me?''
II cannot do both,' he thought. II
must save the child and lose the gold.
But moment ago l was anxious for
this whole ships company; now 1 am
doubling whether I shall exchange hu-
man life for paltry gold.''
Unbuckling the belt he cast it from
him and said, Eyes, little girl, will try
to save you.'' STOPPING down he babe
her clasp her hands around his neck.
'':rhus, child; not SO tight as to choke
me. There, hang on now, and ! will
try to make land.''
The child bowed herself on his broad
shoulders, and chung to her deliverer.
With heart thrice strengthened and
an arm thrice nerved, he struck out for
shore. Wave after wave washed over
them. Still, the brave man held out,
and the dear child on, until a mighty
mountain billow swept the sweet treas
ure from his embrace, and cast him
senseless on the bleak rocks. Kind
hands ministered to him. Recovering
his consciousness, the form of the dear
child met his earnest gaze, bending over
him with more than angel ministra-
tons, and blessing him with mute but
eloquent benedictions.

Roads, yesterday, which intended to be added
as an amendment 10 the Post Office Appropriation
bill, was ruled out upon point of order, made by
Senator Allison, that it contained new legislation
and was not gemane TO the appropriation bill. 1t
will probably be brought up as a separate meas
