A lady tells of a monkey which she
saw while in Paris. Meeting him sud-
denly on the stairs one day, he stood in
the corner to allow her to pass, and
when she said Good morning" he took
off his cap and bowed.
"Are you going away?' she asked.
"Where is your nassport?"
Pulling off his cap, he took from the
crown a paper, opened it, and showed 1t
to her. When some one observed that
her dress was dusty. the courteous
monkey took brush from the table
and carefully brushed her dress and
then her shoes. When food was given
him he always made low bow before
taking 1t, and then ate it slowly and
daintily. He had been taught to eat
eggs with a spoon, and to use q knife
and fork. He could loeb and unlock a
drawer, thread needle, uncork bot
tie, aGd pollsh his masters shoes. lie

QUEER PHILIPPINE PRODUCT.

The Doerian Assai1s the Nostri1s Vio-
Iently but Enchants the Palate.
The doerian is a fruit. What it looks
like would be impossible to convey to
the thought, except by tinted pictures.
It's appearance is of slight moment
here, for even if the Philippines are
annexed the fruit will never be seen in
the American markets. 1t will not
bear transportation, and if that diff
Guilty could be obviated no quarantine
officer would dare to allow a cargo of
doerian TO enter any port, its signs
of dire contagion are so manifest The
unimportant question of what it most
resembles may be passed over by say
ing that it never looks ripe and never
looks fit to eat.
The first doerian which a newcomer
encounters in Luzon, and, above all,
at Ileilo, where they abound, does not
long occupy the eye, for the nose is
more violently assailed. When doer-
Ian is in its best stage of ripeness its
odor is such as to demonstrate how
poverty-stricken the language is in
terms descriptive of foul odors. How
man ever discovered that this nauseat
ing odor covers the most delicious Of
all fruits is dense mystery. There is
but one way to eat ones first doerian.
Have simple faith and the utmost con-
fidence in the integrity of the person
who proffers the revolving delicacy.
Then stand at a distance to windward
while some immune breaks the fruit
open for eating. Holding a tight grip
upon the nostrils, rush upon the fruit,
and pop 2 segment into the mouth. The
moment the creamy pulp melts up on
the tongue and finds its way back to
the palate there is the victory won:
the Philippines have peacefully con-
quered TIE invader. No fruit can rival
its rich dayor as of strawberries and
raspberries mixed with violets and deli
cate rose leaves. OF all the products
of nature it is the most delicious. The
first mouthful is all that is needed; the
nauseating odor is passed and done
forever; years may elapse between the
eating of two doerians, but the disgust
ing stencil will never again be perceiv-
ed The plant, though now abundant
in the Philippines, is believed to be in
digenous to Sumatra. There at least
they endow it with magic power to call
the wanderer home, for the islanders
often repeat the proverb. ''Who has
eaten doerian viii eat DORIAN"

her what she would do if he should die,
