ACTION OF MONKEYS.

An officer stationed at Kalladgee, in
India, was once climbing rocky hill,
when he, and a native who accompanied
him, witnessed the following episode:
A poor monkey was being slowly en-
wrapped in the voluminous folds of an
enormous boa, its bones breaking like
pipe stems by the pressure. Gradually
the reptile unwound itself, leaving a
crushed. unrecognizable mass. The nu-
merous monkeys on the rock were in the
greatest state of excitement running
wildly about, gesticulating, chattering
and moaning, though, of course, power
less to help their comrade. While the
snake was commencing its gorge, and
before its body began to fill and swell
the officer and native went in quest of a
stout cudgel and sharp knife expect
ing to make it an easy prey as soon as it
should be filed to repletion. When
they returned to the scene of strife, the
boa lay thoroughly gorged, beneath a
projecting mass of cliff, looking more
like log than anything more lively.
On the summit above, troop of mon.
keys was assembled, and three or four
of the largest and strongest were occu-
pied in displacing massive fragment
of rock, already loosened by the rains
from the main ledge. By enormous ex-
ertion- made, too. with silence quite
unusual to monkeys = they at length
succeeded in pushing the rock until it
trembled just over the boa's head; then,
uttering yell of triumph, they dropped
it over the miniature precipice. 1t stuck
the boa on the head, MASKING it to a
jelly. As its great tail dashed about in
effectually in its last struggle there was
general chorus of exultation man
joining his near relative, if we believe
some of our instructors lover this we'll
accomplished act of vengeance.

AND OTHERS.

The use of Stenography, in or
der to accelerate the rapid and
correct transaction of business,
both for Lawyers and Business
Men, often necessitates engaging
the services of a rapid, compe-
tent, and thoroughly reliable
Stenographer. Upon the accu-
racy of receiving dictation, and
the still further accuracy of die
tAting to the Typewriter, thous-
ands of dollars sometimes depend.
AS such is the case, and as risks
should not be run at any time,
especially in important. cases, it is
always deemed advisable to en-
gage only first class reporter.
Having been engaged as Steno-
grapher in some of the largest
and most important cases of the
day, both in the States of New
York and New Jersey, and being

He Had Never Heard of pronouns

In middle Georgia county, not hun
dred years ago, several applicants for posi-
tiors as teachers of public schools were
undergoing an examination before the
Board of Education. One young man APP
peared to be unusually well informed. He
answered all sorts of questions in geogra-
ply and arithmetic, and the members of
the Board began to think they had discoy-
cred treasure. The Chairman of the
Board examined the young man in Eng
lish grammar. Nouns, articles, adjectives
were safely passed, and the Chairman
asked; "What is a pronoun ?" 'Never
heard of it," said the young man.
Never heard of pronoun." mo, |

the young man in a dazed sort of way
"such a monumental fool as you can

county" And yet there were fools
Just as monumental then teaching in that
very county. Here are some incidents of
a different nature that will serve to illus
trate the qualifications of the average
teacher: One day the pupils of a mixed
school in southwest Georgia county were
asked the question, "Who is Alexander ii.
Stephens and where does he live ?" Out
of $50 that heard the question but one at
tempted to answer. One young man said
that he thought Alexander H. Stephens
was the Governor of Washington City.
Yet that school had for more than ten
years been presided over by teachers re-
garded as among the best in the State. In
the preparatory department of leading
Georgia college the question was once
asked, what is meant by the Alabama
claims p Not one of the students could
answer, although several of them were
grown men, and at least five Of them were
studying for the ministry. Some time ago
young man, bearing the highest testimo-
malls from his teachers, applied for admis-
sion into the junior class of Georgia col

DOMESTIC HINTS.

Dry pocket glue is made Of twelve parts
of good glue and five parts of sugar. The
glue is boiled until it is entirely dissolved;
the sugar is then put into the glue, and
the mass is evaporated until it hardens on
cooling. Lukewarm water melts 1t readily,
and it is excellent for use in causing paper
to adhere firmly, cleanly, and without pro-
ducing any disagreeable odor.
To make corn oysters, take six ears of
sweet corn (those which are not too old;
with sharp knife split each row of the
corn in the center or the kernel, length
wise; scrape out all the pulp, add one egg.
well beaten, a little salt, one tablespoon
full of sweet milk, -four enough to make
pretty stiff batter; dop in hot lard and
FRY delicate brown. If the corn is quite
young omit the milk, using as little flour
as possible.
This is an excellent way to dry peaches
for winter use Peel yellow peaches, cut
them from the stone in one piece; allow
two pounds of sugar to six pounds of the
fruit, make syrup of three quarters of a
pound of sugar and little water; put in
the peaches, a few at time, and let them
stay until quite clear. Take them up
carefully on dish and set them in the
sun to dry. Strew powdered sugar over
them on all sides, a little at time; if any
syrup is left remove them to fresh dishes.
When they are quite dry lay them lightly
in jar with little sugar sifted between
the layers.
Goslings prepared in this way are ex-
cellent: Put one ounce of salt pork cut
in dice in saucepan and set it on the fire.
When the pork is melted put in it a
gosling, cleaned and trussed in the same
manner as a chicken, and brown it. Put
one ounce of butter in a saucepan; thor
oughly mix with it one tablespoonful of
flour and set it on the fire. As soon as the
butter is melted put the gosling in it with
one quart of green peas that have been
blanched for two minutes (that is, boiled
for two minutes, then plunged in cold
water and instantly drained); add one
pint of water or broth, a bunch of season.

remove the fat and the seasoning and serve

add little more.
A writer for an Eastern Journal says:
Z" As the time of year is near at hand
when farmers wives will begin to lay up
their winter store, l will tell the sisters
how put up corn. When it is fit for
table use | cut it off the cob, mix salt
with it until | can see the salt, or much
too salty for use, then pack in vessels that
will hold brine; set away for the winter.
1t will keep so nicely. When you wish to
use it, soak or scald it Il prefer scalding),
in plenty of water and little flour or
meal to replace the starch which it loses
to some extent in the process. Season to
suit the taste You will find this way the
cheapest and best. Cabbage may be kept
sweet and good for winter by making
brine strong enough to hold up an egg
then cut the heads of cabbage in halves
and place them in the brine. VIII some
of the sisters tell me how to preserve green
beans for winter? ~
