A Baby at the Masthead.

Not long ago an English lady took
passage on a vessel bound from Kings
ton, Jamaica, to London. A large,
strong, and active monkey on board the
vessel took fancy to the ladys child,
babe about two months old. The
monkey would follow the lady from
place to place, watching her as she
rocked and fondled her little one. 1t
so happened on a beautiful afternoon
during the voyage that a distant sail
attracted the attention of the pas
sengers. The polite captain offered the
lady the use of his glass. She placed
her child ON the sofa and had Just
raised the glass to her eye, when a cry
was heard. Turning quickly she be-
held sailor in pursuit of the monkey,
which had grasped the infant firmly
with one arm and was nimbly climbing
| the shrouds. The mother tainted as
the monkey reached the top of the
mainmast. The captain was at his wits
end. He feared If he sent sailor in
pursuit the monkey would drop the
| babe, and escape by leaping from mast
to mast. Meanwhile the monkey was
seen to be soothing and fondling the
child. After trying in many ways to
lure the animal down, the captain or
dered the men below and concealed
himself on deck. In a moment, to his
great Joy, he saw the monkey carefully
descending. Reaching the deck it
| looked carefully around, advanced to
the sofa, and placed the child upon it.
The captain restored the child to its
mother, who was soon satisfied that her
darling had escaped without injury.

How She Saved the Interest

A woman's vanity is at times her pro-
tector. A New York correspondent
tells an incident of the panic in the
metropolis:
1 am told how one lady saved her in
terest on her deposit in the Second
National Bank at the time of the brief
run on it month ago. She drew a
check and went with her brother to the
bank, he carrying the check. In the
crowd they became separated, and when
the brother reached the paying-teIler
the drawer of the check was some
distance away. The paying-teller made
some inquiries of the presenter of the
check, probably to gain time, and among
other things asked him to describe the
lady whom he claimed had given him
the check. He did so, and the teller
doubtless to gain more time, turned to
the clerk who keeps such records and
asked for the booked description of Mrs.
-. 1t happened that the lady at this
moment was very near the clerk and
heard him read the books record of her
gifts OF person: Fat brunette, about 40.
with gray bangs and a wart on her nose. y
In rage she rushed to her brother and
Indignantly drew him away, declaring
she would not deal with such NASTY
bank officers" The check was not paid.
and her interest goes on uninterrupted-
!y, as the run amounted to nothing.
Eno's defalcation being made good. her
vanity saved her considerable, interest,

Polly Spoiled the PRAYER.
lFrom the Boston Transcript

Mrs. Fogg is an active member of
| Rev. Mr.. TextuaPs church; but her hus-
band, be it said to his shame, can't re-
meeting house, Mr.. TextuaPs or any
| body else's. However, as he puts it,
he doesn't interfere with Mrs. Fogg's
| amusements, and is perfectly willing
that she shall go to church every day
In the week if she wants to. Although
Mrs. F. doesn't avail herself to the full
| of her lords permission, she is very
regular in her Sunday attendance, and
it was not at all strange that, after re-
peated invitations, her pastor should
take tea at the Fogg mansion the other
evening.
The family was gathered around the
domestic board, with Mr.. Textual at
Fogg's right, Mrs. F. vis-a-vis, and the
two little Foggs jointly occupying the
remaining side of the parallelogram.
The young fry were about to begin
operations according to custom; but
Fogg thought the occasion called for
something appropriate on his part. SO
he checked the impetuosity of their
youthful appetites, and, addressing the
reverend guest, remarked:
Perhaps Mr.. Textual will be kind
enough to ask blessing"
The immature Foggs stared in open
eyed wonder, their appetites all forgot
ten, while from some unknown source
came an hilarious:
''Hal Hal Hal"
1t was evident that such reques
coming from Fogg, struck somebody as
being excessively funny.
The children giggled; Mrs. F's face
looked like red sunset, and the par
sons features were a study of bewil-
dered amazement, while Fogg appeared
to be in anything but an angelic frame
of mind, if one might Judge from the
murderous aspect of his visage.
The parson was the first to recover
his self-possession. He began:
o Lord, we thank thee for the
bounties thou hast set before u.s.
He hesitated a moment, when from
the direction whence proceeded the i'll
timed laughter came voice. 1t was
pitched in accents of impatience, say
ing in an inquiring tone:
"What?"
"Johnr Maryr" shrieked Fogg in
stage whisper to the young ones, who
were, nevertheless, unable to wholly
control their cachination.
Mrs. f. screwed her face into all
sorts Of contortions, and the parson
opened his eyes long enough to show
the wonder which filed his perplexed
mind. But he was equal to the emer-
gency and proceeded
"May this physical food remind us of
that spiritual sustenance-"
"Oh, cut it shortl" broke in the irrev-
erent interrupted.
Amen" said the parson, abruptly
ending his petition.
The children forgot their manners en-
tirely, and laughed aloud Mrs. F., as
she afterwards observed, thought she
should sink through the floor, while
Fogg allowed something to escape his
guivering lips which sounded very
much like an oath.
Again came the voice
Pretty Poll Polly wants cracker
Out it short Hal hal hap
