keys. Among them We're two big. wise
looking apes with gray boards and hair.
and with the mien of stoics. They had
very long. straight tails. and habit oi
sitting high mp from the ground and al
lowing their tails 10 hang at fun length.
In the same cage were three or four brown
cebus monkeys. who were much devoted
to exercise and fun.
While the big monkeys would cling "a
the side of the cage or sit on a perch
some 10 or II feet from the ground one
of the little brown monkeys would
stealthily creep up to one Of them and
suddenly grasp the end of the long tail
and swing with all its might. OF course
the "bigsun" could not lift his tail be-
cause of the weight of the little monkey
clinging to it He could only climb down
the side of the cage with his burden un-
til he could reach the floor.
During this operation the brown mon
key kept swinging until his own tail
touched the floor, az which instant he
would release his hold and spring 10 the
top Of the cage, followed by the outraged
monkey amid the screams OF the others.
BY the time he had reached a point
where he could attack his little tor
mentor, who would show some signs Of
resistance and cause him TO pause for a
moment, another brown monkey would
seize his long tail and take a swing .-R.

A poet. TO have a successful sale for q
book Of verse, should bear in mind one
potent fact-that the poetry for which
there Is the greatest general demand to-
day Is that which appeals to the heart.
rather than to the mind. That Is the Sc
cret Of the greater sale Of Longfellow's
books over those Of Walt Whitman; that
Is why Whittier outsells Browning, why
q thousand copies Of DIR. Holmes poetical
works are sold to one Of Swinburne; why
Will Carleton outsells Thomas Bailey
Aldrich; why James Whitcomb Riley's
poems sell as fast as they are put on the
shelves, while those Of Andrew Lang and
Austin Dobson stand year after year
looking at each other from the same rel
alive position on the same shelves.
The cynical literary critic may sneer
at Will Carleton, he may pick flaws in
James Whitcomb Riley's verse, he may
tell you that Eugene Field is only news

the all knowing critic and buy the works
Of the long ago buried poets whom he

A patient entered the consulting room
walking backward, under the delusion
that his head had got twist round and
that his face was turned the wrong way.
Instead of laughing at him as | expected,
the doctor entered into the case with the
greatest gravity, tapping his patients
head all over, looking into his throat
and ears and sympathizing with him.
The patient was at once won over and
placed the utmost confidence in the doc
tors assurance that complete cure
would be effected in few days, volun-
tarily exercising the greatest care in
carrying out the medical directions.
which consisted in elaborate nothings to
keep the patient occupied.
A day or two afterward the doctor
met him with feigned surprise and con-
graduated him. "On whaty' asked the
patient. Judge for yourself" replied
the doctor, handing him mirror. The
man surveyed his corrugated counte.
nance intently for few seconds, when
with the dawn Of conviction there stole
grin into his stern features. Thanking
the doctor, he skipped out Of the room

An extraordinary Request which Excited

Il never look at that old clock ON the

with my trip to the northern part Of this

Il was stopping" she went on. ssin a
quaint little village at the only hotel in
the place. Every evening upon retiring
heard voices in an adjoining room.
My curiosity naturally prompted me TO
listen. The conversation was usually Of
commonplace order, but what really
attracted my attention was this strange
request nightly repeated:
Now, Joyilla. put that internal beast
out Of the way and cover him mp 1t

invariably met with some such response
as this:

The voice this time was distinctly
feminine and rather shrill and complain

with curiosity. What manner Of beast

longer, so finally resolved to ask him
frankly for an explanation.
Mr.. Tom,' said to him one morn
ing, pray excuse my apparent rudeness
and curiosity, but won't YOU tell me
about that beast you keep in your room
and why you wish to have it covered up
every evening before you retire.
"A gleam of mirth lighted mp his coun-

ALuxurious shantv.

If the intelligent foreigner who comes
to New York includes Shantytown in
his round of observation, it must sur
prise him to see what difference exists
between the rude huts of that district
and the cabins Of the very poor in Great
Britain and France. The latter are built
to last, while the New York shanty is
only expected to tide over a period OF
four or five years; but, rude as it is with
out, the shanty is often the superior of
the European cottage in its furnishing.
Well made furniture, carpets, stoves
and wall paper are common to the shan
ty, while the peasant across the sea may
have to content himself with an earthen
floor and bed built into the frame
work Of the house. On recent evening
a reporter saw a shanty that could not
have cost 500. 1t had lace curtains at
the windows, portieres worth about so,
framed pictures on the walls, and was
lighted by piano lamp with a silk
shade.-New York Sun.

An Ingenious Reason.

The excuses which are resorted to by
European tradesmen to make American
tourists pay higher prices than any one
else pays are often more curious than in
genious. An American who had fine
pair of boots made by London cobbler
was astonished at the price which was
demanded
Three guineas for pair of calf boots!
1t is preposterous," said the American.
Indeed, SIR" said the cobbler, IF
you'd a-knowed the calf that was in that
leatherl 1t was blooded hanimal, as
sure you, sir, and bred on the hesitate Of

Hartford Courant, Oct. 4th: So fas as could be learned at the National Trotting Association headquarters yesterday, noth- ing has transpired to help MT. Rockwell and others in identifying Rockwell Boy. And, for that matter, it could not be learned that anything whatever was being done by the association towards securing justice for the horse if he is right, and justice for the other fellows if he isn't right. The horse goes on winning money as he pleases, the associations interested as often hanging up his share of the purse, pending the alleged Identification. As has been already stated, the consensus of opinion is that the masquerader, if such he is, is Dudley Buck, 23344, under that name, obtained at Topsham, Me-, late in the season of 1889. A reasonable amount of energy at headquarters ought to enable their censor of trotting affairs to find where Dudley Buck has been since the Topsham meeting. He does not appear in the summaries of go, '91 and '92, but he must have been somewhere, and he certainly was too good a horse to lose sight of. The affair only emphasizes the importance of the National. Association having a handy, all-around, trasty fellow to run down trail that is as warm as this one is. Identification, to be of any sort of value should trace the horse from Topsham so surely that he who runs may read. And if it should be found that he has been doing business under still another name, so much the more interest ing.
