Monkey Mimics.
Chambers' journal tells of~a mon
key that was the property of a re
tired admiral and his wife. One day
the lady heard a strange noise in
the dining room and looked in to
see a ludicrous sight. Seated in the
armchair, with the admiral's smok-.
ing cap on hi* head and the admi
ral's spectacles on his nose, was the
monkey. In his hand he held the
open newspaper, which he shook
and patted while, he jabbered and
gesticulated with great emphasis at'
the cat that lay blinking on the
hearth rag.
No one who. had ever observed
the testy olcPadmiral's tone and
manner when reading to his wife
some passage from the newspaper
which excited his wrath or indigna
tion could have failed to be struck
by.the impersonation. 'It showed
such careful study and full appre
ciation of detail that the admiral
himself might have learned some
thing from it.
Scarcely less observant must have
been a monkey that was one of the
inmates of a Suffolk vicarage. He
could not go to church with the rest
on Sunday, but on theiT return from
service one day they found that in
other respects he had a mind to be
their equal. He had removed the
tableoloth which had been laid for
dinner and spread it smoothly upon
the floor, arranging upon it all the
table appurtenances with a preci
sion-that showed how well the les
son had been learned.
It must have been difficult for a
late Royal academician to appre
ciate the subtle flattery that under
lay the action of his pet monkey
when it took advantage of his ab
sence to seat itself on a stool in his
Btudio, and, choosing a newly.fin
ished canvas, proceeded to lay on
the oolors with a reckless hand and
a dash worthy of a latter day im
pressionist The monkey succeeded
In making a sensation and possibly
in experiencing one.
Je M. Barrio's First Speech*
One of the speeches that J. M.
Barrie delivered here was a surprise
to his friends in London, who had
never heard him attempt a speech
of any kind and were not prepared
for the way in. whioh' he acquitted
himself at one of the dinners given
in his honor by a literary club. One
of his friends in London said that
Mr. Barrie had under no ciroum
•stances ever ventured to speak more
than a few words, and Zangwill told
a story of a dinner in London at
which Barrie was the principal
guest. Somebody had asked the
proper way to pronounce the title of
one of Mr. Barrie's books, and when
Mr. Barrie arose to make a speech
he confined himself to a solitary
sentence commenoing, "It is pro
nounced," and ending with the cor
rect pronunciation of the name. As
this had been the most that Mr.
Barrie had ever attempted in his
own country his London friends
were astonished to hear that be had
not only delfrered an after, dinner
speech here,but had also gpt through
'the effort with great credit.—New
