Perhaps the hand- wrlllng was nol very legible , ns is often the case with other than Illiterate shin-owners At nny rate , the master of the ship read il 100 instead of too , nud BO did the agcnta nl Bombay. Tlicro was much tuslomshmcnl il so Btrango nn order , but the master was 'found ' toobcyinslructions. Accordingly the service of n number of native.- ) were secured. Lhocounlry round about was scoured , ami n a few days a hundred monkeys , of nil colors nnd previous conditions , wcro secur ed. There wcro lllllo black monkeys , wilh sycs like beads , bigger monkeys with whio- crs , and baboons whoso grave expression of countenance presented n ridiculous con trast lo their undignified antics. The whole crowd chattered , screamed , nnd 'ought in Iho cngo which had been provid ed for them in the ship , in spile of all cf- brts to keep them quiet. In n few dnya ! io homeward voyage was begun , and with t Iho troubles of Iho crew. As BOOH us the motion of the ship was " "clt , the monkeys redoubled their noise , naking a regular pandemonium of the Bhip. Kclays of them shook the bare of ho cage without a moment's cessation for .wcntythreo hours out of each twcnly- four , until the cage was literally shaken to ) ! occs , and the nstonishcd sailors beheld n cloud of monkeys issuing from the hold , scrambling , fighting , nnd tumbling over each oilier as if'tlicirlivcs depended upon gelling into the rigging in tbo shortest pos- Iblotlrae. The monkeys , with miscbiov- itisncss unparalleled , would steal every hing they could lay Ihcir hands on. If lollies were hung up to dry they would ; carry them up to Iho highest point attain- bio and pick them to pieces. It was iiec- ssary to set n guard over every thing that vas washed or dried.

To bo sure , the muses are so built ns not to bo ns susccp- iblo of changes of tcmpernlnro ns those In which thfe mnjorlty of our people live.

Then the stoves in iso there for heating nro constructed so hat a comparatively small part of the icat is wasted. But even with all these irccautions nn American , accustomed o 'cncrout and blazing coal and wood fires , inds the apartments wanned sufficient for ho comfort of the native cold , nnd ehivcrs is ho recalls the fires blazing ou his native icarth.

So fires on ho continent nro n luxury , nnd in innuy louses nrc. except for cooking , not seeii the 'car round. But if fires are expensive nnd fuel scarce and high in Continental Europe , what hall wo Bay of Jnpau , where charcoal , split vood , brush nnd dried grass nro used for cooking nnd heating booths nnd is hardly iver used outside the cities for purely heat- ng purposes. Tlio charcoal is mnd cin wooded regions , nnd carried to the settlements in straw sacks on thobacksofir.cn nnd horses.
