4 Monkeys Fear Of Firearms.

He was greatly frightened at gun
that / shot off one day at some spar
rows He2hid at4once in the straw of
his cage, and never left it till the gun
was hung up again. After that had
only,to touch the stock, to make him
hide again, when nothing could be seen
in the straw, except pair of sharp
eyes watching all my motions. just a
touch of my finger or a cane upon the
cock of the gun was enough to deprive
him of all quiet. used to carry on my
watch-chain little pistol on which a
percussion-cap would make tolerably
loud report. The monkey had not yet
found this out, and, sitting on my
knees, would amuse itself with licking
the silver barrel. One day in his pres
ence put a percusSion-cap on the nip
pie of the pistol. The monkey OBJ
served my movements with great atten-
ton, but without seeming disturbed by
them. But when the cock, being raised,
made two clicks, Molly dropped his
eyebrows, while he continued sitting
quietly. When the explosion took
place, his fright was unbounded. Cry
ing loudly, and full of anguish, he fell
from my knees, ran across several
rooms, leaped out of the window, chung
to a water-pipe, slid down to the street
and hid himself in a ditch in a neigh
boring garden. His nervousness
lasted long while, and [ had to take
OF my watch-ehain to appease it. From
| that day he was in such fear of the little
| pistol that to take hold of the chain was
enough to make him disappear, in the
straw. But he very soon learned by
| experience thatthe source of the detona-
ton was not in the chain but in the
pistol, and could easily distinguish it
/ from the other appendages of the chain.
| of which he was not afraid at all. Sit
ting on the straw in his cage, he would
attentively watch my movements while
| was handling these APPENDICES. The
closer my fingers approached the for
midable object, the greater became his
anxiety, and with his eyes riyeted upon
the Instrument and with tense ears, he
would dance continuously in. the. cage,
| all ready to go under the straw. He
| would assure himself beforehand, for
q eater security, that the cage-door was
we'll shut; and one day, when the bolt
! had not been pushed in, he leaped out
from the cage, which did not seem safe
enough for him, and went and hid him
self under the bed in the next room.
AS / gradually removed my hand from
the pistol, would receive chuckles OF
| appreciation; and with his lips
pushed forward and the muscles of his
ear moving by Jerks, he would manifest
a very great joy.--M j. Fischer. an

Juries and JurYmen.

It is current notion that the reason
why so few first-class business men are
found upon our iuries is. that they are
excused by the courts. The returns
show that such men rarely get upon the
jury lists. In the exceptional cases
where such men are returned to serve
it is no doubt one of the most inn
portant duties of Judge to brace him.
self up against yielding, to any but the
best of excuses. Boards Of Trade would
do well not only to ineHlcate it as
point of honor that none of their mem
bers should seek to shirk this grave
public duty, but also to see to it that
their class be properly represented.
And here let me add that the general
hardship of jury duty is over-estimated
| have repeatedly had business men at
