A BABY OUT OF BED.

The Trouble Caused by Young Tiger
 Who TumbIed Out of Its Cage.
 All the bells of a village will ring when child is lost Tigers can ring no bells, but they have savage affection enough to. make loud music" when one of their children is missing. We smile at the commotion in a hen-vard over a misplaced chicken, but when a Royal Bengars" baby falls out of bed, the fuss the father and mother beasts make about it is likely to be terrible rather than comic--especially if lot of other wild creatures join in with them in their outeries. The Philadelphia Times gives the following incident at the 'Zoo:"
 In the menagerie there are six as 1.-the and brightly marked tigers as any body ever saw. One morning at daylight the keepers were surprised by an unusual commotion among the cat-animals. The men got out strong ropes, lassoes and nets, believing that some of the more formidable of the wild beasts were out of their dens. They approached the wide stairs cautiously and entered the room. The tiger-den was a scene of fierce confusion, and the other animals shared the excitement. The men ad- vanced to the front of the den and were met with demonstrations of anger.
 Lying close to the wall in one corner was huge Bengal tiger, and at her side pair of beautifully marked cubs, with eyes closed like young kittens. With cries of wonder the men gazed at them, for they were only day old. Still they could not understand why all the wild beasts should seem so restless. One of the keepers, following the eye of huge panther, shouted:
 ''Look, boysi One has got out and is on the foorr'
 One cub had crept through the cage and tumbled out. and wandered around until it had tired out and gone to sleep. When one of the men carefully picked it up it uttered a feeble cry The scene that followed made those men. used to danger as they are, white with fear The tigers bent the bars of their cages, and the lions roared in unison with the shrieks of the other animals.
 To attempt to put the cub through the bars into the cage from which it had fallen was certain death to whoever un- dertook it, for with their long forearms and their curved claws the tigers would have torn to shreds whatever had been in reach.
 Finally one of the cooler-headed keepers took the little speckled. sight, less beast, and climbing up the end of the den, opened the small hole left for for ventilation and dron1ood fhe oauSe of all the trouble at the feet of it's mother. She tenderly placed it beside her other offspring, lay down herself, and in two minutes the cunning-look- ing kitten was taking it's nourishment and every thing soon quoted down. Kouth's Companion.

BEGGING AWAY.

 Oh, well 1 remember the clustering faces, That in wonderment peered through the
 shoemaker's door, When to sound of his whistle and tap of his
 hammer, He often regaled us with bits of his lore, As often he'd say, with mod that was know
 ing,
 And a smile that was bright as the sweet
 summer day; "I tell YOU what, lads, there's nothing
 worth having. But what you must get it by begging away. '' You may run the swift race, and be count
 ed the victor, And yet you but get there step at
 time; And up the steep ladder where fame keeps
 her laurels, If you want to get one,' you must certainly
 climb The world it is only broad piece of leather; We must shape 1t ourselves to our last as we may, And we only can do it. my lads, as tell you, By pressing and molding and begging away" Oh, the years have been long, and the shoe- makers vanished; Adown the dark road we must journey alone; But often think of the wisdom hid under His whimsical jest and his fatherly tone. And often I've proved the truth of his say ing,
 As misfortune and together still stray. That ell the best gifts the world has to offer, It only gives those who keep begging away

A ContemptibIe Old Duffer.

Two hard-looking fellows yesterday accosted a business man on Larned street with request for aims. He put his hand to his ear and quietly re- piled:
 You'll have to speak louder; as am deaf. :"
 One of them yelled the request in his ear, and he shook his head and said:
 Perhaps you have an ear-trumpet with you? l can't make out a word you say"
 The one was about to try it over again, but the other plucked his sleeve and whispered:
 ''Come away, Jack. I struck this same old man last summer, and he gave me nickel and made me sign receipt for twenty-five cents. Let's do straight business or none at all"
 The pretended deaf man passed on, but somehow it didn't seem to him as if he he was very much ahead. Detroit Free Press.

Answered the Trumpet Call.

Rev. J. G. Wood, the well-known English writer on natural history, re- lates the following true story in his re- cent book on the horse:
 "Some years ago an elderly gentle man died, leaving to his widow all his property, including an old and staid horse. It so happened that there was review in the neighborhood, and the old lady, who was stone-deaf, drove over to see it. During the maneuvers regiment of cavalry passed her, and as they did so the trumpeter blew on his instrument some signal, which she, from her deafness, did not hear. The horse, however, heard and understood the trumpet call. Old as he was, he sprang off at full speed, galloped into the ranks. and put himself in line with perfect ac- curacy. The signal to charge was then given, and off went the horse with his comrades. The old lady shrieked and dragged at the reins to no purpose. Where the regiment went the horse went; when it wheeled he wheeled, and when it charged he charged. dragging his expostulating mistress after him throughout the whole of the maneu- vers.
 After the review was over the ofh- cers crowded round the old horse, who evidently had belonged to the cavalry. and offered very high price for him. in order to make a regimental pet of him. The offers, however, were refused "- Harper'S Young People.

Virtues of Irish PopIin.

Many leading modistes are impress ing upon their customers the virtues possessed by Irish poplin. This fabric never creases, does not wear shiny, and is, so to express it, everlasting wear. It can now be purchased in charming evening tints of peach, almond, Per san lilac, tea rose, etc., so that Irish poplin can be very appropriately worn for full evening costume or for bridal gowns, more especially if trimmed with its very proper accompaniment, the best of real Irish point lace. In darker shades poplin is not too dressy for the requirements of street wear. being at the same time as durable as any ma terial now manufactured, not excepting the simple. homely homespun goods themselves. c.

THE FARM OFFICE.

Why Every Agriculturist Should Have a
 Place for His Books and Papers.
 You need some kind of an ''office, even if it only amounts to desk space in one of the family living rooms; in other words, some quiet corner where you can place a roll-top desk or the old secre- tary, and where you will always have good ink, pens and paper, and other conveniences for writing or figuring, and be sure of finding account and other papers, just as you left ftthem. And speaking of good ink, in how many households can good black ink and de- cent pen be foundP Homeopathic ink, as thin as some city milk, and a corrod- ed, spatter- work pen are poor incentives to keeping accounts, making memo randa of observation and bits of ex- perience, or writing business letters. If there is room to spare in the house, and you can have ''library," we suggest that you make that your office; table will answer the purpose of q desk if it has drawer or two that can be locked, though there is nothing quite so con- venient for business man as few spare pigeon holes" for letters, re- ceipts, etc. Place your books upon con- venient shelves-pine shelves stained with asphaltum and turpentine look very well-and add to them as you have means to spare; make a rack for your agricultural periodicals, and see that no number is missing, as, of course, you file your papers for future refer ence; hang few good pictures of fine stock on the walls and your "office" is complete. There will be no excuse then for trying to carry all the farm ac- counts and the details of your business in your head. Our Country Home.

MONKEY INTELLIGENCE.
A Claim That It Does Not Display Itself
 in Tenchant for Mimicry.

A Claim That It Does Not Display Itself
 in Tenchant for Mimicry.
 The authority of Scripture q Kings, x:xxiD warrants the belief that monkeys formed an article of commerce as much as twenty-e;ght centuries ago, so that no lack of time can have prevented us from studying their habits; yet it would hardly be an overestimate to say that nine hundred and ninety mine of a thou sand men persist in the belief that mon- keys have a passion for initiating the actions of their two-handed kinsman; that. for instance, an ape, seeing his master shave himself, would take the first opportunity to get hold of a razor and scrape or cut his own throat. Now, how could that idea ever survive this age of sociological gardens? Marcus Aurelius heldIthat the sum of all ethics was the rule to ''love truth and justice, and live without anger, in the midst of Iying and unjust men" Yet the occu- patton of a monkey-trainer would put that tolerance to 9 severe test With an intelligence surpassing that of the most intelli- gent dog, a monkey combines an ultra mulish degree of obstinacy, and, rather than initiate the demonstrative manipu- lations of the kindest instructor, he will sham fear, sham lameness, sham heart disease, and generally wind up by fall ing down in sham fit of epileptic con- vulsions. 1 have owned monkeys of at least twenty different species, and have never been able to discover the slightest trace of that supposed peRctaHt for mimicry. A boy may take off his coat and turn thousand somersets, Jacko will watch the phenomenon only with view to getting his fingers into the pockets of the unguarded coat. Lift up your hand a hundred times, Jacko will witness the proceeding with calm indif- ference, unless a more emphatic repeti- ton of the manGuvre should make him duck his head to dodge an anticipated blow. He has no desire to follow any human precedents whatever, and the apparent exceptions from that rule are, on his part, wholly unintent' onal and merely a natural result of ana.om- ical analogies. An angry hamadryas bab0on, for instance, will strike the ground with hs fist, not because any Christian visitors have ever set him that bad example, but because his fore fathers have thus for ages vented their wrath on the rocks of the Nubian high lands. A capuchn monkey will pick huckleberries with his fingers, not in deference to civilized customs, but be- cause his fingers are delft and long, and his jaws very short. Nay. that same capuchin monkey, admitted to seat at the breakfast table of punctilious fam fly, would be apt to show his contempt of court by sticking his head in the pud- ding dish. The compulsive methods of professional trainers may modify that perversity, but during recess the re- deemed four handler is sure to drop his mask, and, unlike a trained dog, will never volunteer the performance of a popular trick.-Dr FeLir L.
