The Animal Sense of Humor.


If you care to have good stories of the
humor of animals capped, here are swo
Or three moro. | remember in a
description OF India or Coy Ion some forty
years ago, story of an Englishman who
had a monkey. Looking out OF his viii
dow one day he saw his cook getting
foNl ready for boiling, while the monkey
lay on the ground, shammiug death, and
party of crows stood at little distance
divided between the desire for the
kitchen offal, and the fear OF the possible
shammiDg monkey. One crow, more
adventurous than tho rest, came within
the magic distance, and was instantly in
the clutch OF the monkey. At the same
moment the cook. having finished truss
ing the fowl, put it into the pot and went
away. The monkey plucked his crow
as he had just seen the cook pluck the
fowl, took the fowl out Of the pct, put
the crow in and retired with his e change.
When the cook came back, and saw the
fowl left preparing for his masters
luncheon turned black, he was, AS may
be supposed, struck black with terror 1T
this manifest Intervention OF the Evil
one.
Another story, some forty or fifty
years earlier, is of a monkey which my
uncle brought to London from India.
One one occasion, he was seen playing
with the ink, perhaps writing letter in
his masters bedroom. He upset the ink
and thereupon he went to the chest OF
drawers, opened a drawer, took out
shht, and wiped up the ink with it. On
another day he was sitting in my grand
mothers drawing-roomG Was in Hill
St. when another lady came il and sat
down.
Tie monkey, after watching her for
some time from the back of the chair on
which he was perched. snatched tho
visitors bonnet from her head, put it On
his own, and defied all attempts to catch
him and rescue the bonnet. A: last, the
window being open, he leaped out upon
the lsnp-post and there sat, sharing the
delight of tho passers-by, looking as
Butcher must have looked when, years
after, he appeared on the field of Waterloo
in al old lsdy's bonnet.
In these instances tho love OF
mischievous practical joking is manifest
it is probable, if not SO certain, story of
an eminent natursiistQ forget his nams)
who was hoping to develop the intell-
igence OF a monkey to whose education
he was devoting himself. One day he
saw with delight that the monkey was
sitting at the other end of the room,
turning oY.r the leaves of a valuable
book on entomology and looking at the
plates with apparent interest. But on
going nearer be saw, with dismay, that
the monk y was turning over the plates
in order ih"t, when he came to
particularly large beetle or butterfly,
he might pick it out and eat it. As the
paper could not have a nice taste,
think he may have been actuated rather
by the fun of the thing than by a mere
depraVed appetite. Perhaps he was
verifying the like method of learning
among the philosophers of Laput-
London Spectator.

How Grant Got a Good Horse.

One o: Gran s Arabian horses was a
jet black stallion, but in riding him the
minister thought he discovered a fault
and he insisted that the dragoman
should take him back to the sultan and
ask him to send better horse. The
dragomsn replied that he could not do
this; that the horses were gift, and he
used the proverb about mot looking q
gift horse in the mouth" but the
minister insisted and the dragoman went
to the sultan and asked for audieuce
lie is by the way, a man of fue
sensibilitIes, and as an Interpreter for
the legation he is the most important of
all men to Americans in turkey.
Said he: 81 felt very much ashamed
of myself and my mission, and did rot
know what l could do until at last a
thought struck me that the horse Was
black one, and that black was tie color
of mourning IN Ame-..a. When l catered
tho place the first thing thaSfhe secretary
asked me was as to Low the minister
and myself liked the horses, and l replied
that they were the finest horses that
we had ever seen, and that our president
would feel very proud and would be
delighted with the gift. then went on
to praise the horses, and especially the
black one, which said was magnificent
| 10 every respect, but-here | stopped,
aud the secretary anxiously asked
But what? Is there anything the
matter with the horse?'
mo, said l. but you know black is
the color Of mourning in the United
States. 1t means death with US, and
lust wondered whether such gift
| might not be considered ominous if sent
by the sultan The secretary saw the
point at onco he spoke to the suit IN and
was thanked for my suggestion and the
horse was changed for one of another
color and IS sound as a dollar. "-Rtdel

father is rich; the boy knows this, SO
he puts forth little effort ; he becomes

Ffred just right
Liver, Stomach, and Bowels, by
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
do it in just the right way, too
by using Natures own methods.
That's why they're better than the
dreadful, old fashioned pills, with
their gripping and violence.
But they're better in every way.
In size, for instance, and dose.
They're the smallest and the cas-
lest to take; only one little Pellet
is needed for a gentle laxative
three for cathartic. They cleanse
and regulate the system thoroughly
but it's done easily and naturally.
Sick Headache, Bilious Headache,
Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all arrangements of
the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are
prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. You pay only for value
received.
Something else, that pays tho
dealer better, may be offered az
@just as good" Perhaps it is, for
him, but it can't be, for you.

Love is Blind.

No truer say Ing was uttered than the
one that states that love is blind"
Love is not only blind, but it wouldn't
see if it could. There Is no desire to
look upon tho imperfections of those
nearest and dearest to us, but rather a
tendency to close the eye tight, aud what
thew cannot witness we know the heart
will not guess about. Can mother
ever see anything wrong in her own child
is it not to her always the most beautiful
aud loyabis creature extant, though
outsiders may regard it as young terror
without form or comelIness? Yet that
deep ma-srral love turns the ugly
duckIing iato the whitest and fairest
swan and Sac wonders at the poor taste
of others who do not rave with equal
fervor over the pertectioas of her Oft
spring.
When a man or woman falls in love.
what does all the counsel of outsiders
count against their own blind, unreason-
ing passion for each other? What
| m alters il if cooler and wiser heads point
out fraIl les that will so far toward
marring future happiness? Can they
see spots on their ne yly risen sun? Can
they detect any flaw in their idoP No
because tnoy shut their eyes to all
imperfections and even if they should
see them, love with its identifying
mowers would even transform these
peculiarities into desirable qualities thai
the lover would find no fault with until
the glamor had passed away.
So it is with the happily married pair
They do not detect in each other thu
marks left by the flight of time, though
to others they may show that they art
growing old, but with the softening
mellowing influence of love the bride o
twenty years ago changes not to TIN
husband, who will always seem to he
the lover of her girlhood. Outsider
may note the growing lines OF care tn
whitening locks andstooping form but
the aged couple look INFO each other
eyes they see but one image, and tina
the face of man or woman they fell
love with so many years ago.

The dependence placed on a
single crop is a risk taken that is
sure at some time to result in loss.
No farmer can afford to take risks
of wet or dry seasons, trosts, insects,
and low prices, yet that is the posi-
ton in which any farmer who relies
upon a single crop is placed. There
is no section oiithis country, and no
soil, that does not permit of diver
sity of crops of some kinds. The
single crop farmer is compelled not
only to sell at a sacrifice at times,
but his crop is often more expensive
than it should be, entailine the culti-
walton of more land than for several
crops, and depriving him of the
crop on the farm and its conversion
into some product that brings a
larger profit. The production Of
manure is also lessened, and the
fertility of the soil not SO easily main
tanned. Success is more assured
when the farmer grows several kinds
of crops, for then he may be able to
market some kinds, should one or
more fail, while the keeping Of stock
will enable him to obtain better
prices by consuming large portion
at home.
One of the fields open to farmers
is to grow articles OF a choice kind
only. While inferior articles sell
slowly, those that are choice bring
high prices. When the rule is
adopted to feed the inferior portions
of the crop to stock, and maket the
best, the farmer will be tempted to
branch off into the cultivation Of
crops that have before received but
little attention. Last year thou
sands of barrels of apples were sent
to market that should never have
been shipped. Had the apples been
carefully assorted, in order to have
them uniform in size and quality, a
larger sum would have been obtain
ed for the choice ones than for the
entire lot, thus not only securing a
greater profit, but3lessening the cost
of transportation. Potatoes are a
staple crop, and are marketed as
harvested, yet when the farmers pro-
cure their seed potatoes in the
spring they pay high prices for
those that appear to be superior to
their own, when, in fact, the seed
potatoes have simply been assorted
by hand, only the largest and most
perfect being sold, the balance Of
the crop having been retained by
the grower. If all farmers would
practice the careful asserting OF their
crops, as is done for seed, they
would find it much cheaper to do so
than to market the whole crop. 1t
costs less to haul one barrel than
than two, especially when the one
barrel will bring twice as much in
market as two barrels of inferior
produce. There is no reason why
the farmer should restrict himself to
oats, wheat, and corn. By the use
of improved varieties he may add
all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
He will have a home market for
inferior articles, and a profit ready
tor the choice kinds, and by grow
ing as many different crops as pos
sible he will be on a more secure
foundation against unfavorable sea-
sons
