The Monkey and the Cigar.

A correspondent of the London Tete-
graph relates the following incident:
Some years ago l was bringing two
monkeys home from the West Indies,
which had named Jack" and Jill. "
Jack was a brown monkey about the
size of q fox terrier, while Jill was
smaller. and of the sort known as
''white-faced. One day Jack was in
dulging his curiosity in diving into my
pockets, and among other things fish
ed out cigar. He smelled it, and be-
fore could stop him bounded of to
his cage with his prize. Jill rushed
after him to see what he had got, and
he considerably allowed her to smell
and no more. Then he tore it up and
began to chew it, and presently work
himself up into an ecstasy of delight,
taking the half-chewed cigar from his
mouth and smearing It over his face
aud body with maudlin satisfaction.
Jill sat the while at the other end Of
the cage regarding her lord and master
with wondering interest, but afraid to
disturb his revels, though she once or
twice crept cautiously up to obtain a
nearer view of the cause Of all this ex-
citement, and to make sly attempt to
get hold of it. Jacks excitement be-
gan to get too much for him, and he
rolled about his straw and twisted him.
self into all sorts of contortions in un-
comfortable delight aud at last fell
down in q helpless state of intoxica-
ton. Thereupon Jill carefully cover
ed him we'll over with straw and
mounted guard over him, energetical-
ly resisting any attempt on my part to
see how he Jared. She remained stead
lily at her post until he awoke and
emerged from his covering, looking
very, very seedy. sick, and sorrowful.
