APE MONEY TESTERS,
Extraordinary Use Of These Animals by

We do not often hear OF monkeys be-
Ing useful. We hear them called
odd" or "comlcal." or amusing" or
"mischlevous," as well as a great many
other things; but we do not hear the
monkey often alluded to as that USE
ful animal, tho monkey"
Now, the Siamese people don't think
that way. They don't reflect how
amusing a monkey is. They find out
what monkey can do, and make him
useful by making him do It. There
are plenty OF monkeys in Slam. They
are OF all sizes, large and small; and
the large apes OF Siam, we have heard,
are used by the Slamese merchants
MS cashiers in their counting-rooms.
Think OF making apes useful in such
way as that? TO keep them for cash.
