very rich mining country. In the winter
snow drifts hundreds of feetdeep among the
mountains and packs down very hard: Two
old miners run tunnel into the snow at the.
base of a mountain, distance of 800 feet,
numbered it up nicely, plastered it with mud.
and at the far end piled a great quantity Of
very rien quartz. Then they went down to
Denver and became acquainted with couple
oil wealthy Englfshmen, who had just come
over to look for an investment for their
spare cash that would pay a big divvy.
They took them to Georgetow n and showed
their tunnel and the El Dorado at the
end of it. The tunnel. had Ii been

have represented thousands of dol

with it and the prospect. They bought the

HUMOR IN ANIMALS.
Instances Going to Show That
Monkeys Understand Fun. i. g:

London Spectator: - 8 :
= remember, in description of India or
Ceylon some forty years ago. story Of an
Englshman who had a monkey, Looking
out of his window one day ne saw his cook
getting a fowl Ready for boiling, while the
monkey lay on the ground shamming death
ard a party OF crews stood at little dis.
lance. divided between the desire for the
kitchen offal aud the fear of the possibly
shamming monkey. Oneer0w, more adven-
turous than the rest, came within the magic
distance and was instantly withinthe clutch:
of the monkey. AT the same moment the
cook, having finished trusting the fowl, put
it iEto the pot and went away. The monkey
pIuckedthecrow as lie had just seen the cook
pluck the fowl, took thefow out of the pot,
put the crow In, and retired with his ex-.
change. When the cook came back and saw
the fowl left. for hts masters luncheon
turned black he was, as may be supposed,
struck mad with terror at this manifest in
teryention of the evil one. =: -: :. !. " i:
II Another story, S some forty or fifty wears
earlier. Is. of a monkey which my uncle
+ brought TO LandoD from India. On one
occasion he was seen playing with the INK
perhaps writing a letter, in his masters
bedroom. He upset the ink and theTeupon
he went to the chest Of drawers, opened
drawer, took out shirt, and wiped up the
ink with it,: On another day he was sit
ting in my grandm0ther's drawing-room (it
was in Hill streeI when another lady came
in and sat down. The monkey, after watch
ing her for some time from the back of the
chair on which he was perched. snatched
the visitors bonnet from her head. put it
ON his OVID, and defied all aitem pts to catch
him and rescue the bonnet. At last. the
window being open, he lea ped out upon the
lamppOst, and there sat, sharing the delight
of the passers- by, looking as Butcher must
have looked when, years after, he appeared
on the field of Waterloo in an old lady's
bonnet.
Z In these stances the love of mischieyous
practical joking is manifest;:it is probable
/ ifnot SO certain in a story of an eminent
naturalist Q forget his name( who was
hoping to develop the. intelligence of
monkey to whose education he was deyot-
ing himself. One day he saw with delight
that the monkey was sitting at the other
end OF the room turning over the leaves of
valuable book on entomology and looking at
the plates with apparent interest. But on
going nearer he saw with dismay that the
monkey was turning over the plates in.

L large beetle or butterfly, he might pick it

Hermits are generally supposed to be
holy men who spend their lives far from the
maddlng crowd, occupying themselves in
works of prayer and meditation ON the van
ity of the world. Jean Galade, an anchor
ite of the nineteenth century, who has been
arrested near Perpignan, can hardly be
classed among the disciples OF Saint An
thoDy or of any other pious tenant of the
Thebald. While supposed TO be leading a
contemplatiye life, he WAS going about the
country stealing like a gypsy. His depre-
dations having been brought to- the notice
of the proper authorities. the gendarmes
were sent out after Jean. and he was cap
