The Monkey and the Bell

A dark-skinned, bushy-whiskered
man, in velveteen breeches, trudged
East 18th street with an organ on
his back and crowd ofhooting
youngsters after him. A tiny mon
key in n red coat, with q stovepipe
hat on his head, fastened with rib
boiis under his whiskered chin, sat
on the organ and made faces ut the
crowd. When near avenue A the
organist began grinding away again.
The monkey knew his business. too
and with q great chattering climbed
a five-story tenement house, bowed
his hat to the women and children in
the windows. From the monkeys

punch. like those formerly carried by
car conductors. Whenever one gave
him nickel he jerked the punch and
make the bell ring. This made the
people laugh and the money come.
"Where'd you get on to the idea?"

with an Italian accent.

Itwas midnight on the cable road.
Only two passengers sat in the car, n
young man and an elderly one. Sud-
denly there was a crash; collision
had occurred. The young man was
unhurt, and he Immediately went to
the assistance of the old gentleman,
who was taken away. The young
man was surprised, a few days after,
to read o personal in q daily paper
somewhat as follows: eff the young
man who was in a cable-car collision
with old gent will call ut Street
he will confer q favor" The address
was an arjstocratic one and visions
of reward for his services fitted
through the young mans mind. He
put on his best suit ofclothes, walked
eleven squares, and although some
what fatigued put ON a smile when
he rang the bell. The identical old
gentleman came to the door. "Ah,
you are the young man who was in
the car with me when the accident
happened" he remarked. eyes sir,

smile and emphasis on the word for

No Head Required.

There was q certain Judge who,
though honest. was believed by the
lawyers to be dull and incompetent.
Among the practitioners Of his court
was Colonel M, IN old lawyer noted
for his learning and ability, marred by
the habit of intemperance. He had
acquired great disgust for the Judge,
and displayed it with frankness that
was anything but refreshing to that
functionary.
One day the old lawyer was sitting
in the courtroom half dosing under
the influence of his cups. when his at
tention was attracted by hearing the
judge remark:
Gentlemen Of the bar, can we not
dispose Of that sewing machine case
now?" And before anybody else could
reply Colonel NJ looked up and said:

The natives Of tropical countries
are seldom so much astonished a.
when they are first introduced to
snow and ice. The congealing Of
water is O phenomenon they are allow
to comprehend. Atew months ago
Sir William Macgregor enticed sew
eral of the New Guinea natives to tile
hitherto unscaled summit of Mount
Owen Stanley, the Hottest peak in
British Australasia. On its barren
summit, nearly a thousand feet above
the zone of vegetation, big icicles
were found, greatly to the amaze
ment of the natives, who were much
startled when they touched them,
and insisted that their fingers had
been burned.
A year ago, when Mr.. Ehlers u.s.
cendcd Mount Kilma-N Marc, in Africa,
his native porters, who had lived all
their lives near the base of the great
mountain, pulled off the boots with
which they had been provided as
they approached the snow line, and
plunged merrily into the snow with
their bare feet. They lost no time in
plunging out again, and lay with
ing on the ground, insisting that
their feet had been severely burned.
Some of the central African natives
who have been introduced into Ger
many mistook the first snow-storm
they saw for Il fight of white butter
flies. Lieut.. Won Francois says the
mistake was a vervnaturalo one. One
day when he was ascending a Lribu-
tary of the Congo, he saw for the
first time the air filled with O great
swarm of white butterflies, and he
says the spectacle closely resembled
gentle fall OF snow.-Montreal

ATale from the North.

A tale comes from the far north,
above the Arctic circle, that man,
moth carcasses are found frozen in
the ice, and that the Indians chop
them out and feed the meat TO their
dogs. These carcasses are as well
preserved as If killed but yesterday,
although they have lain for who
knows how many thousand years in
q solidly frozen state. Undoubtedly
these animals existed coeval with the
glacial period and wereindigenous to
a tropical climate; therefore we must
reason that this period came on al
most instantaneously, all living ami
mails were killed, by the extreme cold,
and before their flesh could putrefy
it became frozen.-Juneau, Alaska,

Is Your Cigar Imported.

The desire of the average man to
smoke genuineimported cigar, said
an internal revenue officer to u N. Y.
World reporter, is constant incen-
tive to dealers to misrepresent their
goods. One Of the most common de-
vices is to place q label on a box
closely resembling the imported
stamp. 1t is of the same size and col
or, and would deceive my one who
did not examine it carefully. These
imitation stamps are made in differ
ent designs. Many contain the state
ment that the cigars in the box are
manufactured from the finestimport-
ed Havana tobacco-the word "im-
ported" standing out inlarge letters,
while the rest is in small type. The
unsuspecting purchaser sees the word
Imported" and takes It forgranted
that he is getting the imported arti-
Gle. We have captured thousands Of
these fake stamps in this city within

A dozen women of 80 to IS walked

and when found by his mother
shortly afterwards he was trying to
put o live rattlesnake into O bottle.
The little fellow was fondling IT. and
would lay it down and pick 1t up
again, the snake all the time being
perfectly passive and making no
effort whatever to bite. The moth
er's horror con be better imagined
than described when she took in the
situation. She called her husband,
who came, and when the snake was
laid down he grabbed tho child and
killed his snakeship.
