falling DURAN attracted my atten-

with monkeys racing to first reach the

dived from the top of the tree where he
sat, fully forty feet, into the top of a
smaller tree below, whence he swung
to the ground But though he beat out
the others, the DURAN had disappeared.
A small leopard-like creature had
sneaked off the fruit, and was too alb

the monkey to get more than glimpse
of the thief. The troop of monkeys
that instantly forgathered discussed
the situation loudly and in very OBJ

THE IDEAL HOME.
Mans Ideas Constantly Change AS He

Grows Older.
AS the male member of the human
species advances in years his ideas as
to what constitutes an ideal dwelling
change so absolutely that there is be-
tween the different places he would
select almost no similarity.
At three years old his ideal is a tent
formed from a table cover blanket
spread, a piece of carpet, or any
other material that can be so arranged
that it will form little place into
which to crawl.
AT six the best possible dwelling is a
hut built of barrel slaves, boards and
planks, and unknown to prosecuting
adults, and especially to policemen.
A boy Of ten would select spacious
cave, with marvellous secret entrance,
preferably with the entrance under
water at flood tide, with the floors COW

walls decorated with deadly weapons
inlaid with gold, silver and precious
stones, and with enough food slowed
