Uninyited Guests

From the Contra Costa Gazette.
 I was married in India, and rented 8 little house IA miles or so from any other habitation of white men. The morning my wife and arrived the servants had breakfast on the veranda overlooking the river. At the chatter of the plates there began to come down from the big tree that overshadowed the house and up the tree that grew in the ravine behind it. from the house roof itself, from every where, a multitude of solemn monkeys
 They came up singly and in couples and in families and took their places without noise CT fuss on the veranda iand sat there like an audience waiting for an entertainment to begin. And when the breakfast was all laid and the monkeys were all seated, I went in to call my wife.
 Breakfast is ready, and they are all waiting," I said.
 .Who are waiting?' she asked. in dis may. 'I thought we were going to be alone and I was just coming out in my dressing gown
 Never mind.' I said. ''The people about here are not fashionably dressed They wear pretty much the same things all the year round.''
 And so my wife came out. Imagine her astonishment. In the middle of the yer anda stood our breakfast table, and all the rest of the space, as well as the railings and the steps, was covered with

As l have had the privilege of reading the manu- script I can vouch for it that the piece Is one of genuine merit and has every chance, in my opinion, of making a real success.

an immense company of monkeys, as grave as possible and as motionless and silent as if they were stuffed. Only theil eyes kept blinking and their little round
 ears kept twitching. My wife laughed hesrtily-at which the monkeys only looked all the graver-and sat down. Will they eat anything?' she asked
 "Try them," I said.
 She picked up a biscuit and threw il among the company. Three hundred monkeys jumped into the air like one and for an instant there was a riot thai defies description. The next moment every monkey was sitting in it's place as solemn as if 1t had never moved. Only their eyes winked and their ears twitched
 My wife threw them another biscuit and the riot broke out again. Then she threw them another and another and an other But at last we had given away all that We had to give, and got up to go. The monkeys at once rose and ad- vanced gravely to the steps, walked down them in solemn procession, and dis persed for the days occupations.

KILTs COOLEST IN SUMMER
Are Ornamental and Hygienic and
 Improve Physical Fitness

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 What is the ideal garment for mems wear in the summer time? Is 1t the free and graceful kilt?
 The latter idea was suggested by J. Grant Ramsey. r. R. E. S., who, when speaking at tho Institute of Hygiene. considered that the adoption of tho kilt would be ornamental as well as hy- gienic.
 An expert asked for advice on the vexed question was Roderic Chisholm, of the Tailor and Cutter. Mir. Chisholm is not only an expert in kilts. but he is a red-hot enthusiast as well.
 He says he would like to see the whole of the Sessenach race arrayed in flowing kits It would contribute. he considers, both to their comfort and to their physical welfare.
 "As regards sheer comfort" he said. there is no comparison between kits and trousers.
 "Trousers are stuYy, irksome, get in the way and however well they are cut they can never be made to suit the different actions of the figure prop erly."
 He took pair of scissors and piece of paper, and with delft fingers cut a pair of excellent trousers. and showed how artfully they were constructed so as to give the minimum of discomfort.
 "But with the best cutting in the world and with the actions of getting up and sitting down, both having to be performed in them they are not nat ural garment You cannot give enough length from the hip to the knee. and there Is bound to be catch or drag somewhere" was the critical comment. ''Breeches are better than trousers" continued MT. Chisholm, but kits are the best of all. They are an ideal gar ment for hot weather.
 And in the winter time, too. they are excellent, for they are so constructed as to give the very best protection for the body, and, with their adoption there would be fewer internal colds. This was noticed particularly with the High land regiments at the time of the Boer war"
 Mr Cnisholm's eyes took on tho far away look of the visionary and the dreamer of splendid dreams. If every one wore kits" he went on enthusi- astically, :'the physical fitness or the | race would be improved "You have to be physically fit, in the | first place, to be able to wear kilts at all.
 .'The kilt allows freer action, and, 1 by its very construction, 1t compels a swing to the walk and sets the muscles going. Look how the Highland regi- ment walks At Aldershot some few years ago they beat all the trousered regiments marching. The ideal garment for summer year l is thing tartan. But tweed kilt with an ordinary. coat would do quite we'll.

 Quickly the news spread among the neighbors. It crossed Missouri In d night and swept Kansas like a prairie fire. In a couple of days it was up in Iowa. and the news had become the sole tonic of conversation at every cross roads general store in Nebraska. In u week the Saturday night importations of red eye from town" had fallen off 50 per cent in half hundred counties in the corn belt, and the St, Paul and Chicago supply houses were deluged with orders for silos.
