Monkcys That Enjoy a Joke.

In a large cage in the Philadelphia
zoo were kept at one time about 20 mon
keys. Among them were two big, wise
looking apes with gray boards and hair,
and with the mien of stoics. They had
very long, straight tails, and habit of
sitting high up from the ground and al
lowing their tails to hang at full length.
In the same cage were three Or four brown
cebus monkeys, who were much devoted
to exercise and fan.
While the big monkeys would cling to
the side of the cage or sit ON a perch
some 10 or IL 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 "big un" 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, at which instant he
would release his hold and spring to the
top of the cage, followed by the outraged
monkey amid the screams of the others.
By the time he had reached 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.

Saving For the Gorernmen,.

The fervor of economy which recently
agitated congress recalls an incident Of
the government printing Office which oc-

workshop had had good deal of diff

carrying away those useful articles. He
made q rule that clerk should be issued
but one pencil at time and that he
should return the stump of his old pen
Gil upon receiving a new one. This pro-
cess was continued during a couple of
years.
1t never seemed TO occur to the chief
that clerk could gather in stumps of
pencils from his friends, if he were in
clined to cheat the Office, and the method
was regarded by its promoter as an evil
dsnce Of the massiveness of his brain
Finally, when his successor was APP

turned over to him were two good sized
boxes Of sturnps of pencils, each stump
averaging less than an inch in length.

The LAWYER Has the Deed.

A young lawyer in the city had as a
client some time ago negro charged
with assault and battery, and the &C.
cused now owes his liberty to the fine
work done il his behalf by his counsel,
who put up the plea of insanity as his
defense and was sustained by the jury.
It was hard fight The fee was a good
one, but the negro had no cash. In lieu
thereof he decided building lot in the
suburbs to his lawyer, who accepted the
deed, duly signed and delivered, and
locked it away in his safe.
A short time ago he bethought him
that with the help of building and loan
association he might put house on that
lot and increase its value, SO he offered
the property for loan to one of the
home building and loan associations.
His application was duly received, but
when he went around to hear the result
the secretary told him that the commit
tee had rejected the application.
The astonished lawyer asked the rea-
son; the lot was good, the loan small
and title good, for he had examined into
that part of it. The secretary said that
the committee differed with the lawyer
as to the title, because while they them
selves were not lawyers they failed to
see how a negro who had been released
by jury on plea of insanity could
give good title to property. The young
lawyer still has the deed.-Macon Tele-

sensepe. Of q German usurer.

The Judge Of the Dettmold court Of
justice had before him the other day the
case Of Moses Upper of Blomberg on a
charge of usury. Upper had in one case
for the use Of 200 marks charged the
borrower 10 marks interest, and for a
further indulgence of three months 90
marks.
In another case Upper, for loan Of
1900 marks, had charged 945 marks for
interest. A COW which Moses Upper
had sold for $50 marks, but which turned
out to be an Indifferent animal, was
bought back for 100 marks. This COW
proved profitable investment for Lip
per. The animal changed hands again,
and for payment q bill was rendered and
accepted. For prolonging this bill five
days q sum of $50 marks was charged.
and for rs days longer the sum of 76O
marks was deemed necessary for the con-
venience.
In another case Upper had, according
to the statement of his son, turned a bill
Of 10 thalers, by the addition Of cipher,
into 100 thalers, and again another bill
was transformed from 100 thalers into a
debt OF 1000 thalers. The judge SEN
fenced the defendant to one years i'm
prisonment, 5000 marks fine and two
years loss Of "ciyil rights. "-Ssale lei

Berry Wall Strengthened up, looked

We do not see the need of giving the
title Of "embassador" to any of our min
listers to foreign countries. They can all
do their business, in obediance to orders,
under the title Of minister as well as I'M
der any other title. There is less fustian
in the politics and diplomacy of our
times than there was in the times of our
respected progenitors. Truly embassa-
dor to the court of st. James has high
en- sound than minister to England, but
it Is less descriptive. An ambassador, ac-
cording to modern usage, is the personal
representative Of his sovereign at the
court Of another sovereign. Our minis
ter to England has no business dealings
with the sovereign or at court; his proper
business Is at the foreign Office. Guess
it h likely that the title Of minister will
serve all useful purposes, and it is orna-
mental enough. Besides, an embassa-
dor would want to get bigger salary
than minister gets. That is serious
thought for us.-New York Sun.

A Man Who could Keep HI. Temper.


"a man may be pretty smart in a great
tany things. but it isn't everybody that
inows how to hold his temper, remarked
Clarke Warren of New Orleans at the
Lindell yesterday. Il saw a very odd
case down in Mississippi last week. It
was in railroad restaurant A young
lawyer, a mammoth fellow physically,
had some words with colored waiter.
The negro was very abusive. and at one
stage Of the quarrel pnlled a gun. We
all thought that that meant death for
one or the other OF them, but no; the
lawyer did not seem bit worried, and
some bystanders to-: the gun from the
waiter. The latter then followed the
young fellow out to the platform and re-
newed his abuse and demands for salts
faction. The rest of us were dumfound-
ed at the action of the lawyer He was
evidently no coward, and it was just as
evident that he was more than match
for the waiter.
Finally the negro struck at him,
merely knocking his hat off. Then some
one hustled him away. After he was
gone somebody spoke to the young fel-
low about it, and he said it would be
poor policy for him to disgrace his FAM
lily by becoming a murderer, and that it
would be just as disgraceful for him to
engage in a fist fight. Another thing, it
would do that waiter good to be taught
lesson, and ON his return he would
have him arrested and sent to prison for
year or SO. That man knew how to
keep his temper, and | guess, after all, he
took the right view of the matter st.
