waiter set them down before his Gus

''Do you like them better that way

"Well, you see" said the waiter,
they always keep them upstairs on
the round shell, and when any one calls
for oysters If they do come on the
round shell it isn't certainty that
they have been opened fresh Some
times they aren't good, just because
they have been standing When | call

Besides. any one knows they look
fatter on the fat shell. which is all
the more reason they'd be likely to-

INSTINCT AND REASON.
An Interesting Illustration Of the Two
Traits of Monkeys.

Traits of Monkeys.
An Illustration showing the differ.
ence between instinct and reason in
monkeys came under the observation
of David Starr Jordan. the famous
naturalist. AT one time he had two
lively Macacus monkeys called Bob
and Jocko. These We're nut and fruit
eating monkeys aud instinctively knew
just how 10 crack nuts and peel fruits
AT the same time he had baby mon
key, Mono. of kind that had the egg
eating instinct But Mono bad never
yet seen an egg.
To each OF the three monkeys DR..
Jordan gave an egg. the first that any
of them had ever seen, Baby Mono.

handled his egg with all the inherited
experiences of long developed in
stinct. He cracked il with his upper
teeth making hole In it. and sucked
out all its substance. Then. holding
the eggshell up 10 the light and see
ing there was no longer anything Ia
II, he threw 1t away. All this he did
mechanically. automatically aud just
as well with the first egg as with any
other he afterward had And all eggs
since given him he has treated in the
same way.
The monkey Bob took his egg for
some kind of nut. He broke 1t with
his teeth and tried to pull OF the shell.

A long expected French lugger was
seen making for the roadstead. and
the Lowestoft free traders were on

curious crowd of beach men and ex-
else men assembled to meet her, and
as she came in on the crest of roller
it was observed that she contained a
coffin
The French boatm had mourn
full tale to tell. On board the lugger
had been an Englishman suffering
from an illness which soon proved ia

ness he had begged the captain not to
bury him ut sea. but to keep his body
until a resting place could be found
for 1t under the green turf Of church
yard in his native land. Sympathy
with his sad fate and the knowledge
that the lugger was not far from the
English coast had induced the captain
to consent. and now he had sent the
body ashore for. burial. In spite of
his broken English the Frenchmen's
