A PET MONKEY.

A Paris contemporary dealing with
the love Of great men for animals
pives an amusing account Of Chateau
brand and his monkey When he was
engaged in preparing F0ntanes' works
for the press, on returning one day be
was met by his monkey.
"Ah. you rogue" said Chateaubriand,
"vour sbamefaced look tells Of mis-
chief" The monkey was chained up.
but as things did not appear much dis
turbed Chateaubriand thought no more
Of the matter until it was time to re.
sume work. Fontanes' manuscripts
were not 10 be found.
At last Chateaubrland looked into
the waste paper basket, AID there were
the manuscripts. The monkey had
watched his master, and as he had
seen him fold a sheet Of paper and
fear 1t into four. so he had dealt with
Fontanes' writings. With much labor
they were pieced together and after.
ward published.
Chateaubriand thought it advisable
TO see what else the monkey had done
His orders had disappeared from a
drawer which was always kept closed
The servants searched everywhere for
them. but they were not to be found
Nearly week elapsed before they
were traced. and then domestic no.
ticed that the monkey had suspended
them to the cornice in quasi-sym-
metrical way.
The monkey was given his congo,
and Chatbeaubriand replaced him by
a cat, which was allowed place on
his masters writing table, and great
was the pleasure which he derived in
playing with puss.

rIice At $50, OOO a Dozen Arrive

Huddled up asleep in a small
wooden box and appearing not un-
like the white mice often found IN
this country, six little orange col
ored rodents, valued at 81 ,666.66
each, made up the most interesting
consignment aboard the steamer
Anglicant, which arrived in Boston
a few days ago from London. The
unimals are for a college professor
in that city, who is to use them Tor
experiments.
The $4,000 mice are species CT
dormouse, or sleeping mouse, that
lives out of doors in the summer
and remains torpid during most OF
the winter season. Their high value
is caused by their great scarcity.
They are about the size and build
of squirrel.

Meanina of the Green Bough.

The custom of placing green Dough
on the roof Of a newly built house Is
not confined to Germany. but was
adopted by the French Canadians. VINO
brought it with them from Brittany
The custom originated from the super
stition prevalent centuries ago that
every tree is inhabited by a spirit;
consequently it was believed that ev-
ery time tree was felled another
spirit was dispossessed, and this was
supposed to cause some bitterness on
his part against society. Rather than
risk having these homeless and dis
gruntled spirits vent their i'll feeling

upon the builders branch was plant

AT WHAT HOUR SHOULD YOUR BEAU
DEPART.

One of the most popular subjects
for Jokes is the hour when a girls
''best fellow" should depart, so ev-
identity it is problem that vexes
many household.
In some homes mother has been
known to knock gently on the floor
when the talking in the parlor con-
tinues beyond what is to her no
lions seemly hour. Again, faith
er gets up and fuses around up
stairs and makes audible comments
about the lateness of the hour.
Grandmother has been known to
remark in the morning about the
ways of the young men of to-day
as contrasted with those of h'r
times.
When these occurrences happen
occasionally they are of no moment
But a young man by his late stay
ing should not subject a girl to
chem continually. They may be a
Joke for a little while, but they lose
their funniness in time.
No set hour, of course, can be
laid down for a mans departure.
No rule of etiquette has ever pre-
scribed it. Each couple has to de-
eide this matter for themselves and
the time hes so quickly that often 1t
is much later than either expected.
Common sense should really rule.
If the family show symptoms OF res
tiveness their feeling in the matter
should have some consideration.
They, to be sure, are not the mans
chief interest, but unless their de-
mands are unreasonable, courtesy
requires that they receive some at
tention.
If girl goes to business, this,
too, should be taken into account.
Love is all very beautiful, but one
must remember that the practical
affairs of life must be carried on IN
spite of it. The girl who is sleepy
and tired is not fit for her work,
and is also injuring her health IN
trying to put in q hard business
day with this handicap. A man
should think of this.
Generally speaking, II o'clock Il
a good hour to depart, some thlnE
| it none too early. 1t is wise to be
gin in time, for it is safe to predlc
half-hour will slip by before TIT
final good-by is said.-Ex.

DIVING F0R COINS.
The Natives of Madeira Are Experts

The Natives of Madeira Are Experts
at the Business.
AS we drew in and came to anchor
we saw descending upon us a feet Of
small, curious boats filed with half
naked men, We suspected now that
Madeira was q cannibal island and pre-
pared for the worst. 1t was not quite
as bad as that. They merely wanted
US to throw coins over into the liquid
azure which they call water in this
country, whcreupon their divers would
try to intercept the said coins some
where between the top aud bottom Of
the sell. We didn't believe they could
do it. but We tried and. as usual. found
that the other fellow knew his own
game better than we did.
If those amphibians did not always
get the coins they generally did. They
could see them perfectly in that amaz-
ing water. and they could dive like
seals. Some of the divers were mere
chi!dren--poOr, lean creatures who
stood up in their boats and shouted
and implored and swung their arms in
q wild invitation to us to fling our
money overheard. But they did not
want small money-at least not very
small money. They declined to dive for
pennies. Perhaps they could only dis
tinguish the gleam Of the white metal.
Let a nickel or dime be tossed over
and two or three were after it in Il
fash, while vehement outbreak OF
Portuguese from all the rest entreated
still further largess. Ii was really q
good show, and. being the first Of its
kind, we enjoyed it, Albert Bigelow
