MONKEY AND CHAMBERMAID.

Boston Letter in Providence Journal:
There was told in my hearing the other
day a tale which carries with it moral
\ gentleman who travels a good deal,
being bachelor with a good fortune and
plenty of leisure, has, when in town, a
suite of rooms at the house of his married
sister. He returned recently from trip
rather unexpectedly, reaching home in
the evening. His sister, who received
him, apologized for the fact that his
apartment was not wholly in order.
I'VE have new chambermaid," she eX-
planned, and | haven't wanted to tell
her too many things at once. and as |
didn't know you were coming, L didn't
/ bother her about your room. | will send
her up the first thing in the morning"
In the morning the new chambermaid
did, indeed, come the first thing, and the
gentleman was still in bed. He, however,
/ slipped into hls dressing to remain
until the maid should do whatever was
necessary in his chamber and taking a
| book, he sat down to read while he was
waiting. He always carried with him a
diamond ring which had been his mothers
which he sometimes wore and sometimes
had in his pocket. This lie had left with
his watch on the stand by the head of his
| bed.
He sat reading for some time, and even
after he heard the maid go out he kept on
with bis book. Suddenly he heard a
! slight noise In his chamber, and folding
! his dressing gown about him, he opened
the door and looked in. The chamber
was apparently empty, but his eye was
| caught by cord which seemed to extend
| from the open window toward the bed.
/ Going forward to examine this he pre-
, ceived a monkey, till then hidden from
| sight by the bed, that, with his diamond
! ring in his clutches, was marching off
| The owner of the ring shouted and ran
/ forward, when the thievish animal drop
| pei its prey and skurried out of the win
dow as fast as his skinny legs would
carry it, and picking up the jewel to as
snre himself that it was all right, the gen
/ tlaman reached the window in time to see
an organ grinder making off with the
monkey on his shoulder. There was no
| doubt that he had trained the beast to
climb into the windows and to steal any
| vdIuabies upon which it could law its
! hands, and the incident may serve as a
warning to those who allow organ mon
/ keys to scramble at will over their cham
/ Der blinds and windows.
| But the impressive aspect of the story.
! if one considers, is the position in which
! the chambermaid would have been put
had the owner of the ring appeared on
| tie scene but moment latter.

HOW TO BUILD GREENHOUSES.

In order TO get at some facts in regard
to the most economical way of heating
greenhouses, subject of Importance to
the growers of plants under glass, aud to
gain some positive knowledge as to the
relative value of the two systems OF steam
and hot water, trial was made by the
division of horticulture Is. L. Mayuard)
at the Hatch experiment station of the
Massachusetts Agricultural college. Two
b ouses, 75x1S feet were constructed dur
ing the summer of 1888 as nearly alike
as possible in every particular. Two
boilers of the same pattern, make aud
cost were put in and warranted to heat
the rooms satisfactorily in the coolest
weather. For the east house one was
fitted for steam and for the west and
most exposed house one was fitted for hot
water.
Records of the temperature of each
house, taken at 7:30 and 9 O'Clock a. no.
and 3, 6 and 8 p. ~, were made and
tables prepared by the division which ex
hibit the maximum. minimum and aver
age daily temperatures, indoors, and out
for the months of January and February
with the amount of coal consumed. In
comparing results 1T was found that the
hot water boiler consumed 100 pounds
less coal than the steam boiler in Febru
airy and 6S1 pounds less in January, a
saving of nearly 90 per cent. At the
same time the temperature of room heat
ed by hot water average l. 7 degs. higher
than That heated by steam. The temper
ature was more even where heated by
hot water, and consequently there was
Ion
The test is considered a conclusive one
for the two boilers employed in these two
houses during last winter, while in larger
houses, and in winter with greater ex-
tremes of temper ature, different results
might possibly be obtained.
At the same station experiments were
made to determine the comparative value
of greenhouse walls constructed of differ
ent materials, as protection against the
weather. For this purpose four sections
6 feet long by 4 feet high, were con-
structed in newly erected greenhouse,
with walls as follows:
Section l. Concrete (Rosendale CO
ment one part, sand three parts-)
Section 2. Hollow brick, nine inches
thick.
Section 3. Framed hollow wall, cover.
ed lining boards, building paper and
sheathing on the outside and the same
without the paper on the inside.
Section 4 same as section 3, but the
space was filled with dry pine shaving
Conclusions: That on the inside of
the wall the lined board walls filled with
shavipgs give the best results; that W til
the hollow space being but little less
valuable. That hollow brick and con.
crete wall are about equally valuable in
protecting from cold, bat not equal to
to the framed and boards walls. There
was but little difference in the cost Of
construction.

THE DIFFERENCE. 81

THE DIFFERENCE.-Sm boy Pa
what is the difference between a pessi.
mist and an optimist?
Pa-Well let me see ii can illustrate.
You know am often discouraged, and
things don't look to me as if they'd ever
go right. Well. at such times l can be
said to be pessimist. But years ago
when [ was a young man everything
looked bright and rosy, and was always
hopeful. Then was an optimist. Now,
my son, can you understand the differ
ence between pessimist and an optim-
list?
Small boy-Oh, yes; one is married
and the other isn't.-New York Weekly.

problem of getting rid of the Canadian
thistle. He said, "The only wav to ex-
terminate the weed is to plant it for a
crop, and propose to make money out of
it. The worms will gnaw it, bugs will
bite it, beetles will bore it. spiders will
web if, birds will pick it, heat will scorch
it, cold will freeze it, rains will drown it,
and mildew and blight will cover it.

many were tho banks so rich ms hera.
In early days every ono had a right
TO gather muscles; in 1921 tho soyer-

fisheries Prince Electoral Johann
George appointed in that year Moritz
Schmirler MS electoral pearl fisher ut
n salary OF 80 forms (S12) a year. An
ordinance OF l701 administered severe
punishments for pearl thieying.
Tho Schmirler family were nlways
connected with pearl fishing. MoriiI's
parents are known to have occupied
themselves with 1t. Their celebrity for
skill and knowledge in this branch
was 80 G re at that in 1740 one Of them
was summoned TO Denmark in order
to investigate pearl fisheries in that
country.
Notlong ago three Oelsnitz citizens,
descendants of Moritz Schmirler, were
salaried as sworn royal pearl fishers.
Salary, 140 thalers ($l05). with wood
and produce, yearly. Therefor they
had to deliver to the Government all
