MONKEY AND BULLDOG.

How . Venerable Slmian Punished IN Az
grossive Canine.
Some species of the monkey family
are held sacred by the Hindoos, with
the result that the naturally mischiev-
GUS animals become extremely familiar
80 familiar, indeed, as to be really q
nuisance, at least in the eyes of Euro
pean residents. The author of ''Thirty-
Eight Years in India" gives an amusing
account of an experience of his dog with
one of these sacred mischief-makers:
1.-The monkey took up his position day
after day on the lower branch of large
MANGO tree, and there he remained. in
different to all threats and intimidation;
and this led to delicious result
II have already mentioned Toby, my
unparalleled bulldog. When the nuis-
ance of these sacred monkeys began to
be annoying, Toby interested himself in
making occasional raids upon the in
truders, but with little effect, and he
seemed quite distressed by his failures.
One day l was standig with the dog
by my side when he observed our defiant
old friend take his seat as us al on the
branch. As he allowed his tail to hang
down it struck me, and verify believe
it struck Toby also, that, although his
body was out of reach, his tail might be
grabbed.
II spoke in low tone to Toby; he
seemed to understand, crouched, ana
very gradually approached the tree. The
monkey remained immovable and ap-
timed to hang temptingly down.
Suddenly Toby made rush for the
tail. Every thing bespoke triumph
long delayed.
"Alas! alas! The venerable monkey
never moved, but as Toby's open
mouth turned upward to seize at least
the tail, he quietly, but at the proper
moment, lifted it up with his left hand
as gentleman would raise his coat-tail
to enjoy the fire, and, STOPPING slightly
forward, gave Toby a pleasant box on
the ear with his right hand, looking at
him as he passed with calm and satirical
Indifference.
"More amusing still was the fact that
after this rehearsal the experiment was
repeated more than once. / can still
wildly recall the calm, philosophical
Indifference of the monkey, the calcu.
lating advance of the impassioned and
yet baf1led Toby, the repeated rush, the
quiet elevation of the tail, and the in.
sulting pat on the gasping cheek"

INEXPENSIVE CUTS.

How to Produce Appetizing Dishes from
Cheap Pieces Of Meat.
1t is not difficult matter to obtain a
satisfactory dish of meat from prime
cut, but it requires the supreme skill OF
the cook to take piece of beef shin or
a neck piece of veal or mutton and pro-
duce tender, appetizing stew. 1t is in
the use of what are termed ''inferior"
cuts or meat that the French cook ex-
cells. There is much more nourishment
in some of these cuts-notably in the
neck piece of mutton or |>.'-than in
some prime cuts like the French filet of
beef or the tenderloin. A piece Of meat
through which the blood of the animal
circulates freely is more wholesome and
contains more nourishment though it is
tougher and requires more time to cook
than tender piece that lays inside, like
the tenderloin. The stew, or broth, of the
Scotch, which they make from the neck of
mutton. is . dish that has justly acquired
worldwide fame. 1t requires time and
patience to cut up neck of mutton and
reject every scrap of fat and separate
the bones and lean. and cook them in
separate dishes; but the result is the
most delicious broth that can be made.
A breast of mutton is difficult piece to
dispose of, but if carefully trimmed and
boiled in sailed water till tender, the
bones may be removed and rich force

monial adventures of Mr.. Septi-
mus Sowerby sy, and with perfect
truth, too; for though I have altered
names and places, he is a very real per-
sonage, alive to-day, as is the other per-
son concerned in the story.
Septimus Sowerby h ad been too busy
all his life to think Of such trumpery as
the love-making that gradually slides
into courtship and then, at greatly
accelerated rate of speed, into matri-
mony.
But at forty-flve, it began to dawn
upon him that he did not feel quite so
young as formerly, that he was growing
tired of the chops and steaks, or the
lonely JOY of dining at restaurant, and
that his chambers looked cold and
'dreary when he returned to them to
spend long evening among his books.
Books! How he loved them! What in
fnitely better com pany they were than
the choicest conversation he over heard
abroad! And yet, whether because he
had been so arid a reader, and devoured
all tho cream of the worlds greatest
writer's long and long ago, even his
books began to weary him, and he found
long-forgotten memories of his child
hoods home stealing between him and
the printed pages.
Sometime in spirit he wandered all
about those pleasant places; paused at
the tree upon whose bough he had
swung, and so broken it, bringing down
punishment on his curly head climbed
up the slopes where the Quaker's grass
nodded pe"petually, and even thought
that he rolled down on the other side,
clasped in tho arms of his brother Jim,
who, alas! had long ago gone over to
the majority.
These curious yearnings and spirit
yearnings affected him uncomfortahly.
He must be out of health; either liver
or brain be wrong; and he decided one
early June morning that he would try
what change of air and scene would do
for him.
The bank would get on without him:
nevertheless he caused a f1utter among
the clerks when it was announced that
he was going to take holiday.
Some one ventured to ask his desti-
nation. But he said that he did not
know. At the railway station, how
ever, he apparently made up his mind,
for he booked to remote little village
in Somersetshire. and on arriving there
put up at the only hotel the place con-
tanned. Sweet was the air with the
breath Of thousand roses, of pinks, of

THE FEAR CT DEATH

Whore 1t Exists It Usually Proceeds from
. Dl"oasod Mind.
From what I have observed and what
I have heard l am induced to infer that
the fear of death is not com mon, and
that where it exists it proceeds rather
from diseased and enfeebled 1uind
than from any principle in our nature.
Certain it is that among the poor the
approach of dissolution is usually re-
garded with a quiet and natural COM
posture which it is consolatory to con.
template, and which is as far removed
from the dead palsy of unbelief as it is
from the delirious raptures Of fanati-
cism. Theirs is q true, unhesitating
faith, and they are willing to lay down
the burden of a weary life, Tin the sure
and certain hope'' of blessed immor-
tally. This is the first heavy loss which
you have ever experienced; hereafter
the bitterness of the cup will have
passed away, and you will then perceive
its wholesomeness. This world is all
to US till we suffer some such loss, and
every such loss is transfer of so much
of our hearts and hopes to the next;
and they who live long enough to see
most of their friends go before them
feel that they have more to recover by
death than to lose by it. This is not
the mere speculation of a mind at ease.
Almost all who were about me in my
childhood have been removed. I have
brothers, sisters, friends, father, mother
and child in another state of existence,
and assuredly regard death with very
different feelings from what I should
do if none of my affections were fixed
beyond the grave. To dwell upon the
circumstances which. in this case, les
sen the evil of separation would be idle;
At present you acknowledge, and in time
you will feel them.-Robert SoutheY.

RENDSvILLE,

S. B. Smith came near loOsins
all the buildings on his farm Satur'
day. There was an ant hill in the
edge of ploughed field that he
wished to get rid of, and as there
was no chance for fire to do any
damage he set it on fire, and watched
it until there was nothing but few
embers left. when whirlIng gust of
wind passed over, carrying the fire
into slough adjoining his barn yard;
all attempts to extingulsh the flames
were fruitlesS, and the wind was
blowing direct to his barn. The yard
was covered with straw, and the fire
soon spread to it, but by raking the
straw back and keeping it wet, the
fire was stopped at this point, but it
had spread in another direction. and
had nearly reached the milk house,
hog house and granery; but by hard
fighting the flames were subdued.
Mr.. Smith thinks that the fighting
qualities of woman can no longer be
ignored, when it comes to fighting
fire great credit is due the the women
in the present case.
