This he obtained by being allowed the run of the largo monkey house, instead of remaining in a .side : room, before the visitors came. Bays the, Spectator. As he knew he would he caught and pot back into his own ! room at this hour the ape used to climb Bp on to the top of the other monkeys' cases and retu.se to come down. As I he Could not be templed by food, Mr. Bartiett appealed to his mind by working or. what he had noted to be hid weak points, curiosity and cowardice. i This is Mr. Frank Buckland's account of the daily proceedings at this hour: "Mr. Hartlett went to the keeper aal. touching him gently on tin shoulder, directed his attention in a mysterious manner to the dark passage andern ath ; the gat pipe which traverses the house. ' pretending to point out to Sutton some borribh unknown creature, . . an energetic manner, but saying 1 ; except words to this effect: 'Look out 1 nere ne is mere ne is; At tne same time the two men would peer intn 1 hp l;i:-k olace nndr tin. i . . - - V. ,., ) , t r' . i The monkey used presently to come down to s e what the sulii. c! of fear and interest was, when Mr. Rai and Sutton used to shout: "H eoming out: He's coming out!" and rash away in the direction of Jop's cage. The monkey would rush for the same pi . 8 of safety, which happened to be the door of his own house, und sometim1 s enter it before them. Buckland notes it as curious that the monkej c ver (earned the deception, but would be raken in by it whenever the time t amo to finish his morning's airing. similar Jofce. A writer in the Gentleman's Magazine calls attention to the fact that real Jokes are few, but that, as tB y are always suggesting their duplicates, humorists may still depend upon ringing necessary changes and keeping the supply good to the last. Nothing is more certain than that one anecdote does bring forth another; and no one can say whether a funny man deliberately copies and revamps, or whether Iiis mots also are genuine. There is the old story of a British railway. A traveler had left his wrap in a railway carriage, and the guard, opening the door, inquired: 1 "Is there a black mackintosh hen ,-' j "No." answered one or the big Highlanders inside, "there is no black Mack- ' Intosh, but there are six red Macgregors." t This story would almost s- ni to , have been copied in another railway story. A clerical passenger looked up from his boo, v. "Have you read 'Lamb I Tales? aaked he. I "No," said the man opposite, who happened to be a commercial traveler, "but I have black sheepskin ruga.1 Trc and Men. A single tree, according to a computation in Knowledge, is able, through its leaves, to purify the air from the carbonic acid arising from the respiration of a COnsld nable number of men. perhaps a dozen or even a score. The volume of carbonic add exhaled by a human being in the course of twenty-four hours is put at about 1U0 gallons; but by Bonasingaulfs estimate, a single square yard of leaf surface. Counting both the upper and under sides of the leaves, ran, under favorable circumstances, decompose at least a gallon of carbonic acid in a day. One hundred square yards of leaf-surface then would suffice to keep the air pure for one man, but the leaves of a tree of moderate size present a surface of many hundri ! square yards. DlBOgeV of Anntlier Pailoft The provisioning of those Russian provinces which have been most affected by this year's mad harvest id becoming a question of increasing difficulty. The assembles or zem- tvos ar now deliberating on the special and urgent measures to be taken for saving the population of the threatened 1 tricts from a reietition of the terrible sufferings which they underwent in the last famine. There is general agreement as to the necessity of lending the peasants corn bought with thn special funds at the disposal of each of the provinces affected, but as the needs of the peasants greatly exceed these resources the assemblies ha.e all decided to ask the government for very large loans of money.

RK WRITING THE BIBLE.

Tlir Stupendous Tak llelr.; tndertatte i v an II? ngftsfSwi aa 1 Because the bible In its present farm Is not as lucid as it might be to him. an English enthusiast hn-? determined t rewrite it. All the Greek and H -brow idioms and names In the two b -tamenta will be replaced with pure English words and names. The person who has undertaken this stupendous task is Howard Swan of Howard house, Araodel street, London, W. C. He thinks lifter the bible has beta transformed and re writ! n It will b Uiore beautiful and Instructive, and mor.j jfidety ,ad. in regard to the vor; he Xt4 commenced he said recently: "i expect that the rewritten version will give enormous stimulus to spiritual energy thrcins&out the land, it may take a little time to become popu; but I believe .Here are tho sands and thousands who only require to be shown rhe proper road. iy version of the bible will, I hope, point th way. What I propose is to produce quite a different effect by the enip! yment of pure English, and 1 am convinced that a reunion of the higher thought of the various religions will be attained by tho reduction of all foreign idioms to English. In my version the bock of Job will be headed 'APiiete'!.' and Isaiah will be known as 'The Spirit is Sate.' 1 need hardly tell you that I have been moved to undertake the work by very serious considerations, considerations which Involve deep and important theolofxfeal problems. But into the philosophical busi of my argument lo favor of l bible la a new and. as I venturedo think, improve;! form, it Is not necessary to go. And yet there is no reason why anything should be withheld, for ths. Very questions of religion at which I am now hinting will be in the mouth oi everybody before another year has gone. The effect upon international question-; will bo of immense importance. Now, as u my work on the bibie, it is simply this. The bible at present is written in three languages English words, Greek idioms. Hebrew proper nam'.-. What I propose to do is rewrite it in pure English idiom. WO c;i hall gorous in expression as the original, and shall at the same time have per and more lasting effect upon the minds of those who read it. Then there are the Hebrew names. How many people do you suppose understand the meaning of thes? Barnes? i you know what Barrabas means? You don't. Perhaps you can tell me what K-.-die signifies? You can't. There are lota of others in the same fix." Swve the HtlHlHeNi "One of tho most blessed offices of Christlike religion,' says Dr. Theodors Lb Cuyler, "is to take stumbling blocks out of people's way. Another is to help up tho?e who have tumbled down over them. 'Brethren.' said the great Apostle, 'if a man be overtakes lna fault, ye which are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness.' The plain English of this command' ment is, it a fellow cr iture has fallen Into sin and shame, then, instead of lesvirsr him there, wounded and half dead stop and b lp him up. Play the pool Samaritan to him. If he has been tripped by a strong temptation don't Jeer at him or cast the condemning stone. However low and disgraceful his fall, give him S lift by your prayers and counsel and support, ami perhaps his feet and ankle bones may raeeh e si rength." Many articles have been wriUen to prove (hat the original inhabitants of America wore Asiat es, who found their way to this continent by way of Behring strait.

The history of the civil side of I the courts of California shows also a lamentable state of public morals and of const Eentious principles in the individual of right and wrong. LAST OF THE DAF5LING FAMILY ltrotlier the FmMU Graca Now a ranper. The news will be received with some surprise, not to say disappointment, that the only surviving brother of the famous Grace Darling la now a pauper in receipt of parochial relief, says the Westminster Gazette. George A. Darling, the last of the family, is an old man, and though once fairly prosperous has. through the failure of the poor fishermen of Seahoti S, North Sunderland, where he lives, fallen into such poverty as to necessitate his receiving relief from the parish rates. The old man adds to his scanty living by sidling "The True History of Grace Darling's 1 T.ife" and "The Journal of Grace Darling's Father." The house in which the hfroine was born and the house in Which she died are still standing and occupied in the charming village of Brain burgh. in the unique parish church of which- SL Aldan's CI race was baptized She lies buried along with all the Darling connection in the still churchyard of BramWirgh, and for the third time since her interment in 1842 the canopy memori il above her ashes has hist been restored.

Very curiously, the roof of the tranfept in which the original effigy is preserved has just given away and is declared unsafe. The outside monument M nie 15 years or so ago was restored : and 1 new effigy placed beneath the , stone arcaded canopy, but in the great storm of four years ago the canopy was blown down and the set ond efiigy defaced. After lying in ruins for some two years a new canopy has just been erected and the recumbent figure of Grace Darling repaired, the coast is a wild one, but there has bi en something strangely fatal In the fortunes of the tombs of once whose praises once rang through Europe. Far worse, however, than any ruined monument is the cold neglect of the heroine's hist surviving relative.
