CUNNING PET MONKEY.
The Clever Creature Kissed the Baby
Instead Of Pulling Its
HaRA

Jack, my pet monkey, is full Of mis-
chief. One day he got into the kitchen,
and when the cook was not paying par
ticular attention to him he jumped up
on the table, seized pan of water that
was standing there and emptied its
contents on the sleeping cat, says a
writer in the Cincinnati ENQUIRER. he
never lost an opportunity to play a
joke on old Tab, or on the younger
cats, either, for that matter. He often
succeeded, when he was Gagged, in en-
ticing the cats close to the bars, when
he would seize their ears and pull them
until the victims fairly squealed.
This habit of his was we'll known to
a neighbor of mine, and once, when
she was visiting me with her baby, the
little one, unnoticed for the moment,
crawled up to the cage to have good
look at Jack. The mother saw it and
rushed to rescue the child, but Jack
was too quick for her and had grasped
it by the shoulders before she could
reach the spot. He had no intention of
pulling its ears. however, for he drew
it gently to the bars and kissed it
right on the face.

Scarcity of domestic grown fruits
caused another record in the importa-
ton of bananas to be broken, when
three vessels, all laden with the tempt
ing fruit of the West Indies, lately
came up the Delaware, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. So
One of the three was the Russian
steamboat Urania, with $1,000 bunches
OF bananas slowed away in her hold,
and the others were the Norwegian
steamships Spero and Leon, the for
mer carrying $4,000 punches and the
latter with $4,000 punches, grand to-
tai for the three ships of $4,000
punches. Averaged at 60 bananas to
each bunch, this means that 2,538,OO
bananas were unloaded altogether, or
nearly two for each resident of Phil
adelphia. IL
So great was the inward rush of the
fruit that one of the ships, the Spero,
was unable to find dock room, and her
cargo was brought to shore in lighters,
while the Spero lay at anchor in the
middle of the Delaware off pier 5. This
is one of the rarest of happenings in
this port, and the proceedings were
watched with interest by big crowd
of spectators. The unprecedented de-
mand for men to unload the bananas,
work which the importers find it pays
to do with especial quickness while the
big consumption of the fruit is on, nat
urally sent longshoremen's wages
skyward, and the pockets of many of
them we're jinglng with coin at the
end of the day.

house set upon posts, with either tin
pan or large sheet of slate on the
top of each post to prevent the rats
and mice and other depredators from
obtaining admission. The "stabbur''
is intended for the storage of the

family, such as -four, dried meat, fish,
cured pork, "fatbrod," the bread
which is baked only once or twice a
year; butter and cheese, and the ex-

is usually built with two stories, one

Making Laws During the Nirht

There is very marked difference in
the working methods of the United
States congress and the British par
lament which strike the visitor from
one country to the other. Some of the
things that seem peculiar to the
American is the absence of clerks in
the British assembly and the practice
of members in wearing hats during
the session. Some recent proposals
that the hour of converting the Brit
ish parliament be changed call atten-
ton to the striking difference between
the working methods of that body and
our own congress. Parliamentary ses-
sions begin late and last far into the
night. The parliamentary hours, in
deed, have undergone a good many
changes and it is only IL years since
radical change was made in them
