In various part* ?>f India monkeys
are regarded as objects of worship.

po<|. that visitors m?.v not entet the
court of the temple without remoTlnlt
their shoe*.
On ono oeeaaion an Kngli*h officer.
In jmwlns np the <-ountry near Nnd
den. chanced to stroll Into a bamboo
jungle when hi* boat had "pit to" for
the night, lie hail not advat?<-ed far
before ho heard a terrific uproar all
about him. ami he was not a little
alarmed to behold a whole annv of the
largest monkeya ho had ever wn
itimK 'nc towanl him from all quarter*.
Sonic JvmpM on I ho gronnd liefore
him. others swung by the bamboo*
over hi* head, and many closed ?P the
path In his rear. Several female* had
young ones clinging to them, but thi*
fact did not seem to render them less
agile than the others.
The Kngilshtnan knew not what to
do. He .veiled at the top of hi* vol'*
for assistant To his Intense relief,
each time that he yelled the mankeys
retreated a Wt. This encouraged him |
to ^tersevere In his sbonting, but he
observed that when he himself began
to retreat the monkey* would again
begin to rV?e in n[>on him.
Then he sb>od still and (rave one
tremendous shout, whereat the mon
kevs went baek attain. Tills time the
man had gnlnod fully twenty yards
and was about to repeat the rail when
there apj?eared a new figure upon the
acene In Ibe person of an aged. de
ereplt woman hobbling through the
nihlst of the animal*.
This aged \ier*on shook two or Ihree
of the monkey* by the paw* a* *'<o
pn?*??d. No sooner had she come with
in heirlng J>f 1l?e ltritlsher than slie
opened upon htm the vials of her
wrath for disturbing the sacred ?nl
mats In their retirement. She bade the
intruder drioirt. and that qulekly. an
ofder which he lost no time In exeont
Inc. The monkeys all seemed Implicit- I
ly to ohey the old woman's bidding,
making way for lite man's retreat.
The old woman. It appeared, was
employed by the Kmhmans tr? supply
the monkey* with their food each day.
They were wor*hl|ied by all the peo
pie In the country ronnd. w ho brought
offering* of rtoe and sweetmeat* to
them continually Harper's Weekly.

to notice new si?ectr"*eop?c binaries,
which are simply double star* that
cannot be seen separately either be
cause of their extreme closeness or

postman snkl to her. "Well, tomorrow

"That's right; do It." replied the old

There Is no structure Just like St
Mark's In Venice iu the world. Its
bnlb shaped domes nnd mlnnret like
belfries remind the visitor of the ori
ent It seems more like a Mobnmme
dan than a Christian temple in the
facade it scores of variously colored
marble columns. each one a raonollte
?nd all possessing an eTentful history.
Some are (mm fCphcnun. others from
Smyrua. others fr<>m Constantinople
and more than one even from Jerusa
lem. Si Mark's la the treasure boose
of Venice, a place of pride as well as
prayer. The work of beautifying tbla
old church was carried on for (Ire cen
turies. and each generation tried to
outdo all that had preceded It Tbe
walls and roof are so profusely cover
?d with mosaics and prerloss marble*
that It Is easy to underataod why it
Mark's baa been called the "Church of
Gold."
The Lion and tbe Lamb.
The hardest thing to train ? wlM
bea?t to do Is to perform with a weak,
defenseless animal. In one of the big i
rlrcuses some years ago an effort was
made to persuade a very docile old
lion to lie down with a lamb. Tbe
Idea whs certainly a good one, bat It ;
took several lambs and alao several
months before the Hon. which waa
willing to do any kind of trick, wonld
allow n lamb to enter bis ?len with
impunity. Twice he killed a lamb In
the proaence of his trainer, and once
he nearly killed the trainer, wbo tried :
to pull away the carraaa Finally tbe
lion would tolerate the lamb In tbe den
Just so long as the keeper stood over
It with an Iron Iwr. Hut the perform
ance was to evidently forced and so
