A Bright Rodent.

A Troy lady the other night heard
footsteps in the house. Investigation
disclosed the presence of no intruder
The footsteps were heard again. and
finally it was discovered that large
rat had obtained access to the prem
ises. and. walking upon oil-cloth. his
pattering steps had sounded louder
than might have been expected. This
rat was too cunning to enter any trap,
and played great many pranks in the
house before the hole through which he
came from the adjoining building was
discovered and closed. For ms .ance. a
child OF the family placed some candy
in a bureau drawer on the third floor
of the house. On the following day
the candy was missed. 1t was M s.
terry where it had gone to. until it was
found neatly piled up under sofa in
the parlor on the first floor. 1t was
again put away and again missed, and
was again found in an entirely Different
part OF the house from that where it
had been placed. How the rat could
have carried the bon-bons one after an
other. without leaving any marks upon
them. either of his sharp claws or his
teeth, was mystery. but he played the
trek with great patience and success.

The Monkey as a Slave.

Perhaps the only attempts which
have been made to civilize the monkey
is in Malabar. India. A fine species in
digenous in this quarter is the Neil
CHERRY langur. The natives here have
tanning machines called the punka. In
other days the punka. which consists
of movable frame covered with can
vas and suspended from the ceiling,
was kept in motion by a slave pulling
a cord. An English officer conceived
the idea of teaching the langur to do
the work. He took one of the species
and tied its hands to the cord, while by
means of another cord the machine was
kept in motion. The movement OF the
cord is up and down, aid of course.

went up and down, and the animal
saw the machine move. Its master
patted its head and fed it with candy,
and the langur soon learned to think it
fun to work the machine. When was

species, saw thousands of them work

possessing a very comfortable fortune.
No sooner does the PROV of a steamer
show itself around the sharp corner
which vessels have to turn to enter
the harbor than the bumboats NAV be
seen fiocking out from the shore. and in
an astonishing short space of time
they are alongside. The bumboats at
