HUMoR IN ANIMALS.
Instances Going to Show that Monkeys
Mt Least Have 1t.


Mt Least Have II.
I remember, says a contributor, in n
description of India or Ceylon some
forty years ago, a story of an English
man who had monkey. Looking out
of his window one day he saw his coolt
getting fowl ready for boiling while
the monkey lay on the ground sham.
ming death and party of crows stood
Mt little distance, divided between the
desire for the kitchen offal and the fear
of the possibly shamming monkey.
One crow, more adventurous than the
rest, came within the magic distance
and was instantly within the clutch Of
the monkey, At the same moment the
cook, having finished trusting the fowl.
put it into the pot and went away.
The monkey pluclSed the crow as he had
just seen the cook pluck the fowl, took
the fowl out of the pot, put the crow
in, and retired with his exchange.
When the cook came back and saw the
fowl left for his masters luncheon
turned black he was, as may be sup
posed, struck mad with terror at this
manifest intervention of the evil one.
Another story, some forty or fifty
years earlier, is OF monkey which my
uncle brought to London from India.
On one occa sion he was seen playing
with the ink, perhaps writing a letter,
in his masters bedroom. He upset the
ink, and thereupon he went to the
chest of drawers, opened drawer,
took out shirt and wiped up the ink
with it. On another day he was sitting
in my grandmother's drawing-room lit
was in Hill street, when another lady
came in and sat down. The monkey,
after watching her for some time from
the back Of the chair on which he was
perched, snatched the visitors bonnet
from her head, put itNon his own, and
defed all attempts to catch him and
rescue the bonnet At last, the win
dow being open, he leaped out upon the
lamp post, and there sat, sharing the
delight of the passers-by, looking as
Blucher must have looked when years
after, he appeared on the field of
Waterloo in an old lady's bonnet.
In these instances the love of mis-.
chievous practical joking is manifest; it
is probable if not so certain in story
of an eminent naturalist Il forget his
name), who was hoping to develop the
intelligence of monkey to whose edu.
cation he was devoting himself. One
day he saw with delight that the mon.
key was sitting ut the other end of the
room turning over the leaves of valu.
able book on entomology and looking
at the plates with apparent interest.
But on going nearer he saw, with dis
may. that the monkey was turning over
the plates in order that, when he came
to particularly large beetle or butter.
fly, he might pick it out and eat it. As
the paper could not have had nice
taste, | think he may have been actual.
ed 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
Laputa. But this | leave to the Judi.

BUT ONE GUILTY MAN.
All the Others Were Suffering Unjust

All the Others Were Suffering Unjust
Punishment.
Proctor Knott, famous as an eloquent
governor of Kentucky, was Missouri
an in the fifties. He was Gov. Stewards
attorney general. Knott tells story
of Stewart which, although very old,
is declared by him to have had its ori.
gin just as he states it. One day, SO
Knott relates, the pair were walking
through the penitentiary on sort of
inspection tour. Prisoners were then
permitted to approach the governor in
person and plead with him for execu.
tive clemency. AS the officials passed
through the corridors Stewart asked
one after another of the convicts about
his case.
81 am here" said one, "for a murder
that never committed"
"And Pm in" said another, "for at.
temptin' to kill when it was a clean
case of self-defense
I'm innocent, too, governor" said
another. ~ never stole thing in my
life"
Gov. Stewart asked hundreds of ques-
tions, but every convict declared his in
nocence and begged for pardon. At
length, just before leaving the prison,
the executive met a young fellow carry
ing load of some sort of prison prod
uct The convict saluted respectfully
and was passing on, when the governor
stopped him.
"What are you here for?" he asked.
"For stealing horses, your excel.
lency," was the ready reply.
"But Of course you are innocent?
the governor went on, winking at Gen.
Knott
"Of course I'm nothin' of the sort,
said the prisoner. II stole 'em and I've
got three years to do yet"
"Well," said Gov, Stewart, you will
be pardoned tomorrow. l am sorry
that it will be necessary for you, &
guilty, bad man, to remain here ever
another night with all of these limo
cent gentlemen. You will contaminat'
them"
The truthful young horse-thief wa
free the next day, and, oddly enough
he became an honest, valuable citizen

NOTES ON TURKEYS.
Some Thugs About Them Which House
keepers Ought to Know.

somc ThinCs About Them Whtch Houso>
keepers Ought to Know.
The turkey Is justly n bird for ma
tional pride. Though it has becomea a
domestic fowl 1t still retains something
of its wild nature. Unlike the chicken
and other domestic fowls. it never con-
fines itself to the limits of the barn
yard, unless it is penned in. AS every
farmer knows to his sorrow, it Is accus.
toned to make long migrations into the
fields and woods 1t is n scrupulously
clean bird, and when it is penned in to
be fattened IL should be kept clean If
you would have the flesh in perfection
for the table There is the greatest
difference between the properly fat
tened turkey penned in clean pen
and fattened with corn, and the care
lessly fed turkey kept in dirty corner
of the barnyard.
The manner in which the turkey is
killed and dressed for the market ma
terially affects the flavor of the flesh.
In order to be in prime condition it
should be kept without food twelve
DCiOlC ~ ~ ohOuiu
then have its head cut off, rather than
have its neck wrung. 1t should then
be hung up by the feet in order that
the body should be properly drained of
blood. When it has hung for six or
eight hours it may be picked. 1t is
hardly necessary in these days of sani-
tary intelligence to call attention to
the superiority of the dry-piclled fowl
over the scalded one. The bird which
has been swelled out by the use
of boiling water and has full
crop looks better in the mar
let stalls to the ignorant buyer
than the turkey which has been
properly starved, killed and dry-piclSed.
But this is the only advantage, except
the slight one that the feathers come
off rather easier from scalded bird
than from dry one
Retail market buyers are becoming
so intelligent in the matter of pur-
chases that the dry-piclled, properly
killed turkey will now command a
higher price than the scalded one, with

off when all our market poultry will
be properly drawn before they are
sent to market All birds, of what
ever kind, should be drawn as
soon as they are cold. If the turkey
has been properly fed, killed, drawn
and dressed it may still be spoiled
by the carelessness of the cook A
mistake which great many ignorant
cooks make is to leave the fat of the
turkey iii the body when.it is roasted.
Every portion of fat which can be
reached is removed from turkey
when it is properly prepared for roast
ing. The fatter the bird, the better
and sweeter the flesh, but if this fat is
left in it imparts coarse, rank flavor
60 the entire bird. A great deal of fat
is always found over the crop around
the breast This may be removed by
turning back the skin after the bird is
drawn. Large layers of fat may also
be removed from the breast near the
thighs. 1t is a great improvement to
the turkey also to draw the sinews out
of the drumsticks. This converts the
flesh of the drumsticks into delicate
meat which is coarse and tough if it is
