The last Of the famous group of pets
which Frank auckland collected at his
house died few months ago. 1t was
the monkey, Tiny the second, of the
species Cercopithecus mona. She was
beautiful and graceful creature, covered
with thick coat of handsomely shaded
hair, and had been under Mrs. Buck
lands care seventeen years and half.
She had the lifelong reputation of being
exceedingly miscbievous, and was an
accomplished thief. She led gray par
rot, which had been an inhabitant OF the
house for twenty five yeare, terrible
life; and. when she was let out of her
cage, she played havoc with her masters
papers and manuscripts. She would
dash about the room. make clean sweep
of the table, and fill her pouches with
anything that appeared especially nice.
Her two later companions we're gray
parrot and thoroughbred dachshund,
Olga. Every morning Tiny and the dog
had game of romps that invariably
ended in the discontinue Of Olga. The
dog would run round the monkeys cage,
barking loudly; Tiny, inside the wires,
would run round also. and, when OPP
portunity occurred, would seize the
dogs ears and keep pulling at them till
Olga released herself. Notwithstanding
these little Engagements, the dach-
shund appeared to miss Tiny. and went
about the house as if seeking her. The
parrot, too seemed to regret the loss of
the monkey, and efforts were made to
cheer her dropping spirite, if possible

some bones as foundation, she set to

in the extreme. The family always had
some sort of cereal for breakfast, and
whatever was left of this went into the
soup kettle. Cold potatoes that were not
to be used for warming over, bits of lem

times set up the same claim to superior quality.
In such cases the public can be guided only by
the official records. The U. s. Government ex-

have likewise been tested by Prof. Haines, con-

Pros. Haines reported that the volume of gas

al 80 the purest. Guided by this evidence, which
is official and impartial, we must believe that
an equal quantity Of Royal will not only do more
work than any other baking powder. but that
the food raised by it is both finer and more
wholesome.

WINTER WINDOW GARDENS.

No other plants available for window
gardens yield so generous a return for
the slight care they require, as those
with Dubious roots, writes Carroll Wat
son Rankin in the September Ladies'
Home Journal. No other plants are SO
fascinating or so beautiful. or SO easily
grown. Most bulbs will thrive and pro
duce an abundant harvest of glorious
bloom in temperature that would re-
duce geranium to state Of chronic in
validism, yet many people have an idea
that it is difficult matter to grow them
without greenhouse. That is mis-
take. All one needs is little common
sense-and the bulbs. Bulbs should be
ordered early in the fall. The Bermuda
Easter lily and the freesia should be
planted in August if they are wanted for
the holidays. All other bulbs should be
ordered early in September and planted
at intervals. After potting the bulbs in
good garden soil they must be placed in
the dark to make roots. This is of the
utmost Importance. dark, cool cellar
is the best place, but dark closet or
cupboard. or even bureau drawer will
do nicely. The soil must be watered &C.
casionally-the aforesaid common sense
will tell you how often-and the pots
must remain in the dark for at least four
weeks. 1t will do no harm to have them
there for three or four months, provided
they are not allowed to dry out.
There are number of bulbs that may
be grown successfully by the enthusiast

and treatment, may be relied upon to
furnish flowers for Thanksgiving, Christ

A young man accompanied by a still
younger lady strolled about the corridor
of the city hall yesterday afternoon, and
both of their faces wore a rather worried
look. They did not speak TO each other,
nor did they for some time speak to any
one else; but after making a dozen or
more turns about the lower floor of the
hall, approached a gentleman whom they
thought was a city official, and asked
him where they could get license. $50

of the express wagons and hacks; he'll

Ball of Fire on the BAY.

Captain RIcketson of the steamer
Squantum was sure that he saw a sea SER
pent last evening just below Kettle Point.
He was on his way down the river and
right IN the middle of the channel saw
what he supposed was ball of fire that
was some five or six feet above the water.
The captain is brave man, but the picture
before him made his blood run cold, and
the thought flashed over his mind OF the
many passengers that were on the steamer
that would surely go TO the bottom IL the
craft collided with the monster. Then
again he thought of his family, who We're
probably asleep in the little cottage hard
by the west shore of the river, and almost
within hailing distance from him. These
thoughts and many Others flashed and
more would have flashed, but he heard a
sound from the direction OF the supposed
serpent. 1t was the voice of a man, and
then things were different.
The ball of fire was lantern which was
being swung to and fro, regular railroad
style, and by Cpatain Johnson of the
steam launch Xantho, who informed
Captain Ricketson that he had "broken
down" and did not want to be run into.
Captain Ricketson rendered the necessary
assistance and all was well.
