When Monkeys Played Music.

In the rccollcctions Of Fifty Years
Witl Ncnageric,' By the late Dan
Rice. published in the February "a
and 9Th issues of the Youths Com
panion, occurs this story:
1T may surprise many persons to
learn that monkeys, despite their

pravity. found them ready enough

what visitor had provoked my rich
toned instrument to such unsccmly
di>cord. Then | approached closely,
and through window saw Il laughablc
scene.
Seated upon L chair, with Il smok-
ing cap on his head, spectacles on his
nose and mecrschaum pipe in his
mouth, was Joe, the largest monkey
OF the mcnagcric. saving away at the
cello with bow in hand. Several of
the smaller monkeys were in postures
of surprise and delight at Joc's y.cr-

door Of the monkey-room, and that ac-
counted for the intrusion on nv sane

Highly entertained, stood for a

Il little monkey, who notified it's fell

In twinkliug the animals dashed
from the room-Joc. minus cap. spec

carefully closing the door behind him.
pon entering the house | found all
the monkeys safely cnsconccd in their
proper room and looking as innocent
as possible, while the old ringlcadcr
was snoring and apparently sound
asleep. From this occurrence the idea

knew that such il troupe, even if it
produced anything but melody, would

KITCHEN POTS AND PANS.
Modern Cooking Utensils Are Not
Very Durable-POints to Com
alder.

There has been a great change in
cooking since those primitive days
when the kneading trough OF bowl of
wood, the kettle that hung over the
open fire and the earthenwaIe or clay
pipkins were the only kitchen dishes.
The invention of stoves has filled our
kitchens with multitudes Of pots and
pans inferior" to the old ones, which
lasted a ifetime, and some inns several
generations. Modern utensils Of the
best kind will not bear such a test.
In the rush to obtain variety in cook
ing utensils the special use to which
the dish is to be put and the fitness of
the material o; which it is made for
the purpose for which it is designed are
often overlooked. A pot intended for
slow cookery, like one for cooking dried.
fruits or vegetables, should be made
ofthick earthenware. One intended for
cooking meats should be first of all
good conductor of heat, therefore q
copper kettle will do the work of pre-
pairing a stew or praised dish more ex-
peditiously than a pot Of ircn. Iron is
a wholesome metal, but it is 50 heavy
that it ought to be discarded for kitchen
purposes whenever IT. can be, as 1t is an
Indifferent conductor of heat. Copper
is also heavy, but it is such an excellent
heat conductor that 1t is generally en-
ployed by expert cooks for all superior
cooking, baking dishes aS we'll as pots
and saucepans. In aluminium we have
the ideal metal of the kitchen. T. is a
good conductor of heat, and it is ideally
light in weight and does not become
furnished, as copper and all other met
ais do. The price of aluminium still
keeps it out of the reach of many
kitchens, but the time must soon come
when all obstacles to it's manufacture
at a low price will be done away with,
and the kitchen of the poorest woman
in the land will be furnished with shin
ing lightweight kitchen pots and pans
equal to those of kings palace.-N.

FRIENDS FOR TWENTY YEARS.
Two Telegraph Operators Who Had
Never Met or Seen Each
Other.

The telephone girl is not the only one
who incidentally has good time along
with work. speaking her mind when she
pleases. because her identity is un-
known. She. as a rule, is very local and
her voice is frequently the means of di>
closing who she is. so she is Obliged IL
times to be somewhat reserved, bu'
only lat times With the telegraph
operator 1t is different. He or She may
express the mind fully if il can be done
in two or three minutes, for that is the
limit of the time the operator dare
monopoliZe. He clicks the most daring
things over the wire to the operator al
the other end. and the same is clicked
back.
Frequently they will make desperate
love TO each other, neither knowing the
sex of the other, and will continue it
for months or years, and if one of
them is changed TO another post The ac-
quaintance will go with the new OPP
orator where the old one left off. AT
times they will tell each other their
sex at parting, and if they both happen
to be men or girls it is put down and
told as II good joke of the business.
They always say good morning" TO
each other as regularly as if they
worked in the same room and hated
each other cordially.
AT the telegraphers' convention, held
recently in Chicago. tall. handsome
Englishman was noticed to look over
the registry book every hour or so of

length some one asked him why he did

Soon n short. heavy-set man of genial
appearance walked TO the book and

Englishman watched him. and as he
turned away looked at the book
There he is" he said. and a moment
later the two friends Of 20 years were
clasping hands and gazing into eacb
others eyes for the first time.-~ChicaRo
