The extraordinarily large cot

PATHETIC MONKEY STORY.
A pathetic monkey story is
told liy the “Naturalist on the
Prowl” in the Tillies of Indiana,
lie says:
“Ono morning on a rocky hill,
sparsely covered with small trees,
I disturbed u troop of monkeys,
which made n holt over open
ground to some thicker forests
in the valley below. Three, how
ever, disregarded me, remained
one tree, making horrible
noises at. something underneath.
T soon discovered that the object
of their indignation was a brutal-
looking, black dog, which was
busily devouring something at
tho root of the tree. When the
dog saw me, it made oil', carry
ing in its mouth a black thing,
like a little animal, with legs and
a long tail. 1 guessed it was a
baby monkey, and gave , chase as
hard as I could,, but the clog made
good its escape without dropping
his prey.
“Coming hack to tho tree, I
searched 1 lie ground, and found
the body of another little infant,
still warm, llow did the poor
littlo thing fall into the jaws ot
that brute? I have often,seen an
infant of the same size clinging to
its mother’s breast in perfect rest
and security while she took most I taste llieu^ierself
daring bounds from tree to tree.
Perhaps the dog surprised liio
monkeys on tho open ground, ancl
pressed tho mother so hard ihat
she dropped her offspring to save
her OvWii life. Or perhaps they
were enjoying a pie nic in fancied
security, and had laid down their
little ones when the Zulu rushed
upon them. While I was exam
ining the limp little body to see
whether life was extinct, a pitiful
wail told mo that its mother was
watching me. Him had retired
to another tree some distance off,
and was wistfully gazing at me,
wandering wind I was doing with
her precious bubo. I saw that
there was no hope, but I retired
and hid myself to see what she
would do. She came down at
once and tippsioached cautiously,
distrusting me and lumping me in
her mind, no doubt, with the
brutal black dog. Then she stood
upon a stone, and standing erect,
looked all round, ancl gave a
plaintive scream. ’Where was
her darling? At last she found
it and caught it up, and pressed
it to her bosom. But it could not
lay hold of her; it fell. Again
and again she raised it, and en
couraged it to clasp her in its
arms, as it laid always done.
“She did not seem to under
stand that it was dead. At
length she laid it to her bosom
with one hand and tried to run
on three, lest the black dog might
return. When she got to a safe
tree she clambered up as best she
could, hugging her precious
charge with one arm, and there
she gave way to her grief, and
cried piteously, while a kite sail
ed grimly round the tree, as if
claiming his own. I have often
wondered what she did in the end
with tho little lifeless body; I
cannot believe that she left it to
llm kite. It would not surprise
me to know that she buried it,
or laid it in some hollow and cov
ered it with leaves and stones.”

IN THE SOUTH DURING THE
WAR.
To most people. Virgin ill cook
ing bits been il synonym for u de
lightfully prepared meal. And
no doubt Ibis universal opinion
is a correct one. But Virginia
cooking, when there wasn’t any
thing to cook, is quite n different
mat ter from ivlmt it is with a pan
try to which the whole country
supplies every delicacy in and out
of season.
Those upon whom developed'
the cure "of the larder during the
days of the cival war toll a piti
ful hut ludicrous tale of the straits
to which dire want and necessity
often reduced them. Tho coun
try was of course then torn up by
excitement, and tho marching
Hoops’ foraging kept it pretty
well clear of o very Mini gin the ed
ible line. Of coureo the north
ern soldiers appropriated all they
could get for themselves mid their
hoi’ses, and tho southerners ex
pected nothing but liberality at
the hands of those for whom (hoy
fought. ()ccusion.i.dly a . woman
V’ho was hard pressed for money
(Confederate notefj being almost
worthless) would concoct rare
dishes and sell them to the pass
ing Union troops at exhorbitant
prices.
A lady, who is famed for her
sluewdand keen business wit,
told u funny story of some such
dealing-. She found some old
Norway raisins and mixed with
them some stale, dusty honey
that had been kept for years for
poison niixing purposes. Those
ingredients she compounded Into
pie-, and though she failed to
he sold every
one of these pics to the passing
troops. .Uncle Sam had many
foes to face, hut it is safe to say
none ever laid a deadlier effect
than those same pies.
Coffee, being an imported, ar
ticle, was impossible to obtain.
Tea, mustard and a thousand oth-
ci seeming necessities grew to
lie strangers at southern tables.
Sometimes sweet potatoes were
roasted, cut into several pieces
and boiled as coffee, hut rye was
the usual substitute.
Corn bread was of course tho
usual dish, and chicken or turkey
often served as meat when the
soldiers left any such dainty.
Salt was a scarce article, and a
famine was staring the people in
the face when salt works were
started in West Virginia. Pork
was the usual meat, mid such veg
etables as tins dangerous times
enabled the, slaves who staid at
the farms to raise, were the prin
cipal fare. Cattle wore driven
off by soldiers of either army, so
beef was scarce. “Hurd tack”
biscuit were often the only bread
to he gotten, and many poor sol
diers lived on it for days at a
time. “Hard tack,” which is
about as difficult to chew as a
piece of marble tombstone, was
soaked in water over night, then
fried in milk in the morning.
In the matter of clothing, too,
the south was nearly as had off us
it was for food. Most of the
mills for making goods woro at
the north, so Miss Dixie found
herself hard pushed to get tho
goods and ribbons for her frills
and furbelows. Still fashion
reigned in spite of war’s alarms,
and the rough homespun and
cheap calico drosses wore turned
and made over and looked ujjon
with truely feminine pride.
When Confederate money had so
much depreciated, fabulous pric’s
were paid for tho simplest thing
—calico selling at $10.00 per
yard, soap at $6 per pound, lawn
$10 a yard and a barrel of tlour
Iicing worth $100 in greenbacks.
Of fbur.se llie.ir value in gold was
only the selling price at tho
north, but southern paper was al
most wort bless Yet in spile of
tin - depressions in the pantry, tho
scarcity of raiment in the war
drobe and the terrors of the rag
ing war the Dixie girls amused
themselves much in the manner
of to-day.
