COMPANY AT BREAKFAST.
Amusing Experience in lIonsetthese
leg in India.
"1 was married in India," FayE;
writer in the Centre Costa, Gazette,
"and rented a little house fourteen
miles ar so from any ether habita-
tion of white men. The morning
my wife and I arrived, the servants
laid breakfast en the veranda, over-
looking the river. Ab the clatter of
the plates there began to come
down from the big tree that over-
shadowed the house, and up the
tree that grew in the raving behind
it, from the house -roof itself, from
evesywhere, a multitude of solemn
monkeys.
"They came up singly and in cou-
ples and families, and ,Isok their
places without noise or fuss en the
veranda, and sat there, like an au-
dience waiting fur an entertainment
to begin. And when the breakfast
was all laid and the monkeys were
all ,thated, I went in to call my
wife.
" 'Breakfast is ready, and they
are all waiting -I' I said.
are waiting]' she asked,
in dismay, thought we were go-
ing to be alone, and I was just com-
ing out in my dressing -gown.'
'Never mind,' I said. 'The
people about here are nob fashion-
ably dressed. They wear pretty
much the same things all the year
round.'
"And so my wife came ant. Ima-
gine her astonishment. In the mid-
dle ef the veranda stood our break-
fast -table; and all the rest of the
space, as well as the railings and
the steps, was covered with an im-
mense 'company of monkeys, as
grave as possible, and as motion-
less and silent as if they were stuff-
ed. Only their eyes kept blinking
and their little round ears kept
twitching. eey wife laug-hed heart-

looked all the graver -and sat
down.

" 'Try them.' 1 said.
"So she picked up a biseeit and
threw it among the company. Three
hundred monkeys jumped into the
air like one, and for an instant
thee was a riot that defies descrip-
tion. The next moment every mon-
key was Fitting in its place as sol-
emn as if it had never,moved. Only
their eyes winked and their ears
twitched.
"My wife threw them another bis -
cult, and the riot broke out again.
Then she threw them another and
another and another. But atslast
we had given away all that we had
to give, and got up to go. The mon-

TITCASE FOR TIIE COOK.
Scott Nearing Says She Has a Hard
• Tillie for Her Money.
Scott Nearing in his new book
"Woman and Social Progress" pre-
sents a pretty good ca,so for the
girl who hesitates to go intodomes-
tic service. He considers the cook's
duties herd.
"First," Ise says, "ehe muse be
able to cook a wide variety of dish-
es, perhaps seventy-fiye or a hun-
dred; second, she must be neat and
clean; third, she must work from
7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Out of this she has
Limo off, but ib is eearcely her own
time; and fourth, she must eook
dinner on Saturday evening and
two or three meals on Sunday.
"Now," he says, turning to the
other side of the controversy, "sup-
! pose that same girl were to secure
employment in a factory, what
would the superintendent require
of b&ni She must know how to do
one thing well, she must be punc-
tual and neat, her hours are frain
7 .a.m. to 5 p.m., with half an hour
fer lunch ; he has Saturday after-
noon and Sunday for her vary own.
"You are ddmanding," he con -
ole -dos, "therefore, that a skilled
woman -for smoking is -an art which
it takes years to master -shall work
eighty-five or ninety hours a week
.0,11 week long, and in return receive
$5 a week with bed and board. A
girl with an equal amount of skill
working fifty hours a week in a fac-
tory could cern $12 a week and find
her own bed ane) board.
"But these fads," Mr, Nearing
goes en to say, 'fare only one little
element in the problems. I have
not yet sot down the phase of the
subject which transcends and
clinches the entire argument. The
girl in your kitchen is a eervane
subject to the, dictates of the young-
est child in the house. The girl in
the fadory is a lady, subject to her
fovelady and no other.
"Domestic service," Mr. leearing
offers in solution, "presents four
possibilities. First, it may become
a profession performed by & trained
group; second, it may be taken
oyes by a menial class; third, peo-
ple may live in epertmente, and
feurth, they may have their work
done co-opertstively,"

call a woman & little goose, It

WHAT TOADS ARE WORTH.
They Are the Greatest of All Iles
terminatore of Inserts.
Seienee offers a. new solution for
the bug problem. It is theempley in
its professional capacity, so to
speak, the toad -the ordinary hop -
:eel of the field and garden -es an
insect destroyer.
In this 1;11,13111cm the humble toad
is unequalled by any other living
animal. He is the greatest bug ex,-
terminetor in the world, It is en-
tirely predicable to utilize his Ser-
vices on an extensive settle, em-
ploying him systematically as an
ally to keep in check the insects
which levy an annual tax of mere
than $8,000,000 upon our agrieuls
tune resources.
There is ne reason why the farm-
ers of the, country should. not hatch
anti rear their own supply toads
for local service. With a pond or
even a small pool insures' against
drying up during late epring, the
creatures will breed of their awn
accord in any desired numbers lip to
the. limit of the food supply avail-
able in the shape of inseets. But
one thing absolutely essential is
that they shall he protected against
their natural enemies, and by no
means the least destructive of their
enemies are small boys, who
through mere thoughtlessness kill
toads whenever they get a. Chance .
It is estimated that an average
toad is worth to the farmer $5 a
year for the cutworms alone which
it destroys. But this is only one
item. The amount a toad will eat
is astonishing. A large specimen
h
as been known to devour a hun-
dred rose beetles at a single, meal.
One toad needed eneenty-seve
myriapods-the common hou seb al
centipede -to satisfy his appetite
another fifty-five army worms, an
yet another sixty-five gypsy mat
eaterpillaxs. Still another toa
was seen te eat thiety-five large
fall-grewn celery worms in thre
hours, while another athepte
eighty-six flies fed to him in les
than ten minutes.
It is a common thing when th
occupants of .an ants' ne.st ar

trance of the burrow and snap u

THE WATER OP TUE SEA.
Blue and Green—Are Not the Only
Colors Observed in the. Sea.
Why the color of the different
ocea,ns varies, from the emexaki
green of arctic waters to the azure,
yellow and dull red of °thee seas,
is thu,s explained in an article in
the Marine, Journal:
The blueness of sea -water is in
constant ratio rto its saltness. In
the tropics the tremendous evapora-
tion induced by the blazing sun
.cause.s the water to be much salter
than it is in higher latitudes. For
about thirty degrees north and
south of the equator the waterssare
of an exquisite azure. Beyond
these latitudes the blue changes to
green, and in the Arctic and Ant-
arctic oceans the greens are almost
as vivid a.s the tropical blues.
The extraordinary blueness of
the Mediterranean has tsvo MOWS.
Few ]arge rivers of fresh water run
