"Two students,” said Mr. Alexander, “sat before a case in the Boul’ Mich’. One complained of the difficulty of getting on. “ ‘But you,’ he said, glancing at his companion, ’are fat. You get on well. How do you manage it?’ “ ‘You see,’ was the reply, T have a pet monkey. 1.-let Alphonslne down from my window by a rope every morning and she visits the apartment of my landlord. Some times she returns with a game pie, a chicken or a loaf, sometimes with a ham and a bottle of wine. I trust to Providence. forages are full of interest. One never knows what she' will bring back.”’-
