A MONKEY ON HORSEBACK.
How a Tricky Animal Was Cured of a
Bad Habit.

Bad Habit.
Not long ago, says the Dublin Herald,
gentleman who rather prided himself
on a very fine stud of hunters, found that
the horses did not appear properly re-
freshed by their nightly rest. One of the
grooms, on being desired to keep a strict
watch, discovered that tame monkey,
belonging TO the house, was accustomed
to ride on the horses backs almost all
night, preventing them from taking suffi-
cient rest.
His master on discovering his penchant
for riding and being aVerse to killing the
monkey on account of his horsemanship.
succeeded in curing him efectually of his
love for horses. The next time that the
hounds met he had the monkey put into a
full hunting suit and secured by a strip
to the saddle Of his most spirited hunter
and took him away to the meet. When
the fox was found the horse pricked up
his ears at the well-knOwn sound and
started off at once. The chase happened
to be particularly long and severe one,
the monkey, OF course, from his light
weight, being far ahead of the legitimate
huntsman.
A countyman who was coming from the
direction the fox had taken was ques-
TONED by some of the sportsmen as to the
position of the hunt, and told them that
the fox was looking tired, but that none
OF the huntsmen were near, except a
little gentlemen in a yellow jacket who
took leaps beautifully. Sure enough,
Master Jocko was in at the death, but did
not by any means appreciate the humor.
After the fox had been killed there was a
long ride home again, by the end of which
time the monkey seemed thoroughly
wearied out. After this experience, he
was never known to mount horse again.

In many Of the departments records which

Here there is not at the present time any
record kept OF the confidential work of the de-

the department until very late, and when he
does he runs through the mail and then car

ever brought back. HIS example is initiated
by other officials IN the department who
handle records. Eileh day a bundle Of papers

WAsHINGTONs OBELIsK.

Two Yeara' Work Yet to be Done After
the Spire of the Monument is Com
pleted.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 20.-There yet remains
about two years work before the Washington
monument will be complete. The obelisk. it
is true, Is finished, and the rest of the work
relates to the base of the monument. but some
of the details are not yet decided upon. Col.
Casey, who has had charge of the work since
1t was recommended in 1873, comes OF family
of engineers. His father was considered one
of the ablest engineers in the United States
army, and several of his family have distin-
guished themselves in scientific pursuits.
Only one accident has happened, and that
near the base OF the shaft. A workman slim
ped and broke his arm. But nearly all of the
Workmen nave at one time or another fallen
into the netting which surrounded the obehsk
on level with the platform where the work
was being done. Once young lady visitor in
spirit of bravadO threw herself into the net
tlng-an experiment which not even the work
men had ever tried for fun. During the last
stages the workmen were often enyeloped in
the clouds which drifted around them The
only elevator IN use has been the open plat
form on which the stone was hoisted to
the top. AS it was not allowed to
make trips except when required
to carry the blocks up, the passengers had the
privilege OF ascending this frightful height in
company with mass OF stone weighing from
SIX to ten tons. The President and Mr.. W. W.
COrcOran of the Monument Commission have
frequently been up to the top. There is to be
new closed elevator which will make the
ascent in about u minutes. There is GER
tainly nothing in all the difficult ascents of
buildings like the sensation of being sus-
pended by rope $50 feet in the air. The
elevator will have all the newest appliances
for catching it in case the rope should Ibreak.
The plan for the base of the monument has
not yet been decided upon, but it will proba-
bly, include series Of grand terraces Orna-
mented with statuary. Many OF the memo
rial stones are Inappropriate, and others are
unfit for exposure to the weather. The STU
alton of the Obelisk has been much criticised.
but it was recommended by both Washington
and Maj. LEnfant as the spot most suitable
for a grand national monument

DOGsAs NEWSPAPER CARRIERS
Instances of Marked Intelligence by
Faithful CANNES.

AhSbaHOos VI MhrkeO InUell1Ronce Dy
Faithful CANNES.
A very common thing on all the COnnec-
ticut railroad lines, says the Hartford
Times, is for accommodating trainmen
to throw newspapers off the trains at or
near the houses of subscribers living on
the line OF the road at a distance from the
stations. Frequently they are thrown
overheard at road crossing, perhaps a
considerable distonce away, but there are
quite as many cases where a dextrous
whirl from The platform sends the paper
directly into the owners yard, and he
is saved long walk, and in bad weather
a disagreeable one. In many instances
dogs have been trained to watch for the
cars and get these papers, and country
dogs, it is noticed, take quite an active
interest in the affair. After yawning
around all day with nothing more inter-
estlng than to bark at an occasional
passing wagon, TOwser must enioy the
approaching rumble of the train, the
snatch at the paper as it comes whirling
toward him, and the trot homeward bur-
dened with news and responsibility.
over on the Naugatuck road some one
has had the curiosity to inquire into
this matter of dog messengers. Mr..
Philip Mclean, proprietor Of the Gate
House, on the ThOmaston road, has a dog
who goes mile and a half every morn
ing to meet the train. The paper was
formerly thrown off by the brakeman on
the last car, and there the dog watched
for it. Lately it has been thrown from
angry at the change, barked furiously
and waited sullenlY for some
time before going on his errand.
He has not yet become reconclled
in the new way Of delivering his paper.
Below Derby dog has acted for several
years as newsbOy for number of fami-
lies. The papers are thrown out of the
cars under full speed. Whether one or a
large bundle of them the dog is able to
lug them of, making good time back.
Another dog who has become veteran
as newsbOy and cannot now, from age
and rheumatism, get down to the cars,
has In some way managed to train q
younger dog to do his work. Edward
Osborne, residing below Naugatuck, has
dog who regularly meets the early
morning train. The house is a mile
away from the railroad, and the dog
never leaves on his errand until he hears
the train whistle at Beacon Falls
station. Then he starts on a run
and waits at the same spot always,
with his nose pOked between the panels
of fence, and his keen eyes watching
for the flying paper. A story IS told of
one dog that was first taught to bring a
certain New Haven paper, and when his
master changed to another, could not be
induced to carry the new one. Another
story is that the late Senator William
Brown, of Waterbury, had pet dog that
could readily distinguish the whistles Of
the New England engines from those of
the Naugatuck, though running on a
parallel track at the same time side by
side. The faithful dog always found his
train and car, and stood in waiting for
the Hartford Times, which he carried
home to his master for many years.

sure rapid transmission to the several build
ings of exhibits arriving via the river route,
the French company to-day commenced the
construction of line of portable railway.
Their tracks will run from the river
to the south entrance of the grounds.
Diverging tracks to any desired point can be
placed and removed as quickly the exigen-
cles demand, thus conveying an exhibit TO its
destination without delay. Ground was
broken to-day for an electric railway on the
west embankment OF Smoke Lake.

the day the tree was cut. Among the ex-
hibitOrs feeling of content towards

you do not go as far as we Parisians. You
stop at the churchyards. In Paris they are

The American begged that this cOndi-

Frenchman begged that he might explain
them at the same time.

They wear no hat bands, and are cOnse-

intensely jolly, and cannot, therefore, be
mistaken for undertakers. They seem to
go nowhere and to do nothing, but pretty
soon their work there is discovered. In
