Their dwellings indicate their pros

The maip part OF the houses OF

great platform. which is covered with
mats that serve as seats by day
and beds by night. Opposite the door
a niche Is generally seen where the
domestic idols, unaccustomed TO atti-

an ornamented blind. The walls OF
the reception room are lacquered In
red or black, and sometimes covered
with figured silk, according TO the

"Do we have many girls come to sell
their hair? We'll, l should say so, but
we don't make q business OF buying, on
account OF the risks we have to run,"

had luxuriapt growth OF golden brown
hair, ana one day she was approached
by this lady, who was compelled to use
false hair who said 10 her:-'Miss -,
if at any time YOU desire to part with
your hair you can find a customer In
me- The young lady was In need OF
pin money at the time, and said: Well
/ am not particular about keeping 1t
now, as it is a little too light for my
taste So she agreed to have her hair
cut, and in payment received $3.50. II

But the professor kept a loving eye
on his parcels, aud hung over the side
after he had scaled the ladder 10 see
that they were handled safely, drawing
long breath Of relief when the last
came up and over without harm.
Dear me, captain, what can be In
those boxes?" asked Mrs. DonnelY, lean
ing back in her chair with the laDguid
air OF an invalid, as indeed she was,
taking this long voyage for the benefit
of her weak lungs. They can't all
hold clothes?"
"Clothes, mum? Now, does he look
as II he cared anything in the world for
clothes?"
"Well, no." she admitted. "But what
is in them?"
Bugs, mum; snakes, young tigers,
lizards, aud he himself only knows what
more. No, come TO think OF 1t, don't
believe that even he knows, for he just
goes along picking up every outlandish
:aIng - sees, and packs II up, after
christening it something Qulte as a..
earthly. But look out, at night, for
your bed may be full OF the creeping
things at any time"
The lady gave faint scream aud
from under her skirts there ran forth a
little black monkey, which leaped into
her arms as II TO comfort her. This
monkey was Mrs. Donnely's pet and
companion, and the professor gave NOR
tai ofTense by remarking, as he picked
1t no one day, Nothing but a common
spider monkey; have shot two score a
day, and eaten 'em too" and turned
away TO feed such OF his own cherished
live stock as were allowed on deck, TO
hang over them soicitously and TO ex'
anime each with ludicrous care.
Among these was something I'm the
long. fiat case with Stats nailed across
the top, that lay very still and sluggish,
never raising its head for hours. But
IL the owner gave II special attention, 1t
was equaled by that bestowed on IL by
Don Pedro, Mrs. Donnely's monkey.
This little creature, whenever II could
manage TO eude the vigilance OF Its
mistress and her maid, would spend an
hour peering In at this long mysterious
thing, trying to reach it TO giTeits slick
sides pinch. but never quite able TO
get It's arm in far enough.
But at last Don Pedro saw bis way
clear to thu solution OF the problem.
One day, from his seat on the back OF
his mstress's chair, he watched the
sailors busy opening coop containing
chickens for the saloon table, and with
his wise little head cooked 10 one side,
he saw them place chisel under the
Stats and pry them off one by one. But
Don Pedro seemed TO take no notice,
and waited patiently until the crew
were called to dinner, when be jumped
down, and catching up the chlsel, ran

In the meantime the snake, not being
hungry and having merely taken ven-
geance on the monkey for the bite he
bad received, had dropped The crushed
carcass and gone quietly up the mast,
where IL hung like long banner. There
It remained all night, the professor
walking the deck on guard
With the break OF day came the ques-
ton how TO get the big snake down. or
course the professor would not allow IL
TO be shot, for he had not liberated 10
and ought not TO lose his prize through
the pranks OF a monkey. Finally, after
much discussion. tho captain offered f5
10 the passenger or sailor who would
get the boa back into his cage.
The sailors went about scratching
their heads all day, trying 10 think OF
means OF earning the regard, but not 3
plan suggested itself to anyone-except
Tommie, the cabin boy. Late IN tho
afternoon an inspiration came TO him,
and armed OILY with his belt knife and

attempted TO throw itself around hs
boy, but the latter jerked the rope 8.

its head, and OF course IL forgot all about
It's vengeiul design.
Following up his advantage, Tommis
dragged the ugly creature toward We

rope that was still around its neck,

signed further care OF the prisoner -

W0MAN'S AGE
The Present Century is Not the Only
Period OF Woman's Influence.

The Present. Century is Not the Only
Period OF Woman's Influence.
For conscience's sake, let US cease
everlasting prattle about the present
being "woman's century and "wOm-
ans age" implying each time that we
say it that the women Of any previous
age we're dwelling idiots, and casting
a slur upon the very women who gave
us our being, writes Edward w. Box,
in the Ladies' Home Journal
Why is this "woman's century" any
more than was any century before IT?
just because few thousand more wom-
en- are engaged in business? Does that
fact make "woman's century," We
haven't determined yet, by any means,
whether the present tendency OF woman
going into the rougher commercial
pursuits is TO her Interest or TO the
benefit Of those who will follow her. \
little caution here is a very good thing.
What sense is there in this constant
ding-donging into the ears OF our girls
that they are born at the dawn OF
woman'S emanci pationP Enancipa-
ton from @That? VIII this sort Of
thing teach our girls TO have greater
respect for the women OF the past gen.
erations? II we keep up this harangue
much longer ! shall not blame our
Youngest girls IL they get the notion
that the world only began about forty
or fftv years ago. II we expect chill
daen To have respect for their mothers,
and their mothers parents, We cannot
enshroud the times in which they lived
with the darkness Of ignorance and
bigotry. The women whe lived before
the present agitators OF the "woman's
century" were born did thing or two
in the worlds history, far more, VEN
turs 10 propheSy from their present
talk, than the women OF to-day will do
in these latter days, II they pursue their
