Tho Monkey an the Cigar.

A correspondent of the London Te'e-
crnph relates the following incident;
SSme years ago I was bringing two
monkeys home from the West Indies.
which had named "Jack" and Jill"
Jack was brown monkey about the
ST O of a fox terrier, while Jill was
smaller, and of the tyre known as
"white-faced." One day Jack was in
dulging his curiosity in diving into my
pockets, and among other things fshed
out q cigar. He smelled it, and before
I could stop him bounded off to his
cage with his prize. Jill rushed after
him to sec what he had got, and he
considerably allowed her to smell ard
no more. Then he tore it up and be-
gan to chew it, and presently worked
himself up into an ecstasy of delight,
taking the half-chewed cigar from his
mouth and smearing it over his faco
and body with maudlin satisfaction.
Jill sat the while at the other end OF
the cage regarding her lord and master
with wondering interest, but afraid to
disturb his revels, though she once or
twice crept cautiously up to obtain a
nearer view of the cause OF all this ex-
citement, and to make sly attempt to
get hold of it. Jacks excitement be-
gan to get too much for him, and he
rolled about his straw and twisted
himself into all sorts of contortions in
uncomfortable delight, and at last fell
down in helpless state of intoxication.
Thereupon Jill carefully covered him
we'll over with straw and mounted
guard over him, energetically resisting
any attempt on my part to see Low he
Jared. She remained steadily at her
rost until he awoke and emerged from
his covering, looking very, very seedy,
sick. and sorroWful.
