A scrofulous condition is oitoi

shine and nourishing food will in
duce it. SOTIO people nro trouble (
with scrofulous swelling of the

which may caiuo very little pain

sow.A large packing house presents n very
different scene from that of two months
ago , Then , at the door one found line.1) of
fifteen catty boxes nnd waiting to bo sol

fat bags stacked up eight or ten feel , burst
illg with Pchliug tea that bad escaped hero
and there through holes temporarily ntop-
pcd with bamboo leaves ; the bottom of
the hags mostly stained from contact with
wet flichla of mountain stairs upon which
the exhausted cooly had set them down on

A Shlp-Ioiiil of Jlonl.-cjs ,
An American consular officer relates n
very futiuy occurrence , which came under
his observation during his official residence
In Liverpool. A wealthy ship-owner , who
was better at making money limn nt spell *
Ing , seta an order to Ilombay , nnd among
stiicr things wrote for two monkeys , whicl
lie wanted to present to friends ; but de
parting from tlio usual mode of spelling the
word two , ho put it loo. 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. When the cabin boy
wept : the deck ho had to lock up the
room , for if ho hid it ever so securely , his
lack would bo
scarcely turned before nn

Was with great difficulty that the officers
ouli keep the men from shooting their
ormcutors , and when the ship touched nt
idci half of the crew deserted , prcfering
o take their chances at this inhoMpitablo of
lace than to cnduro further persecution.
Finally the ship reached home. Sholmd t
xscn signaled at Landta End , and the own-
r wasnt the dock when she arrived , Bhip-
wncrs generally pri < n themselves on Iho
rim appearance of their ships , nnd our of
ricti was weak iu this respect , if in no
the . What then was his astonishment
see ( the ship's rigging crowded with
cnots or bunches , with hero nnd Ihcre a
estoou where several monkeys had suspend-
themselves from a spar in a string , hold-
ng each other by the tail I Everybody
bout the docks viewed with wonder the
pproaching spectacle. The ship moved
lowly to lier berth , nnd presently her
nrd arras nearcd those of several other
cssels lying nt dock. Innn instant the
nonkoys leaped from ono to the other , and > v
icgan a tour among the forests of masts
mt fringed the harbor of Liverpool. All
10 boys and idlers around the dock were
engaged , nud a grand hunt ensued , tip and
own the rigging from ship to ship , until
dlw captured.
The owner was furious , but was , after a
while , mollified by an explnualion , and the nd
difficulty Batisfactorally adjusted. The
monkeys ! wcro gradually sold off , realizing
profit of about fifty dollars above- what n
had coat.

One of the discomforts of a winter In Con
inenlnl Europe is tbo Inck of such fires for
icattng ns M-O think essential In American
louses. If ono ban A long purse , and does
lot mind the expense , they can bo Itad
, hcro as here , but were ono in Paris or
ionic to hidukja in Mich roaring fires as
Wo keep constantly going in furnaces nnd
; ratcs , it would bo regarded oven by the
wealthy as an cxtrnvngwicc surpassing thai
> f Iho Konian EmpwoB. 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. Tlio
walls nnd partitions nro thicker , the win-
lows nnd doors closer fitted , and they ro-
ain the heat longer. 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. '
Ho learns with mirprlso In Paris that the
vood with which his dinner is cooked or
ils shins wanned is sold by the pound , and
s weighed out to the purchaser ns care-
iilly as butter , sugar , or coffee. A hand
ful of twigs , such as in America would bo
nl lowed to rot , costs five cents , nnd better
vood nt proportlounto prices. 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. A
oed comfortable fire , such ns our people
nust have to keep them warm , would cost
ovcral dollars a day.
But our extravagance in fuel diminishes
vith the years and the increasing cost of
ucl. Wo will travel n good ways , nnd
lave then to seek communities remote
rein railroads , to find such wood fires ns
ccpt tbo log cabins and thin frame houses
the pioneers warm. The great fire plac
, with their wide fronts and immense
himncys , their great andirons , back-logs ,
fore-logs , and sections of seasoned split
vood four or five feet long , piled high , are
mrdly known save in reiuolo sctllemcnls.
Jut wo make almost ns extravagant use
coal ns our fathers did of wood , and will
irobnbly continue to do so till the cost of
compels a study of ccouomy in the
ncthods of heating houses , nnd servants
are instructed how lo manage fires so ns to
ccnro the most heat with the least amount

ality of the blood depend the vigor and

arious kinds is often only the sign that

KNOMSH INFANTRY. Tlio standard of
icight for the Infantry of the line is now
70 feet six inches , and for chest mcasuro-
jout it iffthirty-four inches ; no recruit is
ccoptcd , who does not fulfill these require
ments , which nro in excess of those in all ,
considerably higher than those in most'
Continental armies. Some , indeed , are in
Hvor of lowering thcso standards , because
consequence of them wo are forced to
eject so many recruits whoso chest
rement is only thirty-three inches , but
7hom. in every othsr respect , it would bo
cdrablo to enlist. Without 'in , any Tray

yc of long service , wo would at nny
rucoicnt increosp the number of our ro-
ruit very considerably by reducing our
tandard to.that of Germany or of Franco.
1073 there was in every 1,000 men in the
rmy 412 under five feet seven inches , and
over that same height ; in 1880 the
umbers were 308 nnd 002 respectively.
urely these facts show a decided improve
in the physical strength of our sol-
iers , &ud affords n positive denial to all the
statements which nro so commonly
