How a Monkey Blnsbes, Mr. i)arwin remarks the fact noticed by Mr. Sutton, that the face of the Macacua rhe^ua when much enraged, grows red. Mr. Darwin himself saw the face of this monkey redden when attacked by another monkey, and he also adds that the "seat pads" also seemed to redden under the influence of anger, although he cosld not "positively as- sert that this was the case." My monkey Jenny, when in a rage, blushed must dis- tinctly. A red hue shot over and obectired the normal yellow tint of the skin of the face, and I noticed that the "seat- pads" /oc- casionally also grew redder. Another curi- ous fact concerning this monkey's behavior when enraged consisted in the variations she exhibited when she was irritated by myself and by another persoit If Irfitated by an- other person she behaved as already de- scribed she shook the cage and chattered while her face flushed like that ot a human being in anger. If, on the other hand, I had occasion to reprove her, stie darted down to the bottom of the cage, lay down on her belly, and, as often as not,coac3aled her face in the straw. The analogy between that in- efiective or suppressed rage in a human be- ing, which is shown by the person throw- ing himself down oa the ground â€" a feature seen familiarly in some childrenâ€" and the behavior of Jenny, under my reprjof, ap- pears to me to be too exact to escape no- tice. Paddy, the Capuchin, or the con- trary, when enraged or frightened, used to retire to a corner of the cage and stand on his head, uttering, meanwhile, the most plaintive cries m the well-known shrill but musical voice of the race. On one occasion, when a servant had allowed Paddy to im- bibe nearly half a glassful of champagne, he showed hi^^cphoiic dissipation by standing inanely on his -head and vaifily ' endetkvoring to emit his familiar cry. Mr. Darwin men- tions the case of a young female chimpantee who, when enraged, "presented a curious example to a child in the same state. She screamed loudly with widely open mouth, the lips being retracted, so that the teeth were fully exposed. She threw her arms wildly about, sometimes clasping them ov:r her head. She rolled on the ground, some- times on her back, sometimes on her belly, and jerei^hing wl thtn reach " â€" The Gentleman's Magazine.

Of all the snake varieties of which we have yet any knowledge the diamond snake, as it is called, seems to be the most deadly. It grows to a length of 6 feet or 7 feet, and is somewhat thicker than a man's wrist. It is armed with the whitest and sharpest of fangs, nearly an inch i.i length, with cist- erns of liquid poison at their base. A ter- ror to man and beast, he turns aside from no one, although he wiU not go out of his way to attack any unless pressed by hunger. A description of his movements by a traveJ- ler who has encountered him states that he moves quietly along, his gleammg eyes seeming to emit a greenish light, and to shine with as much brUliancy as the jewels of a finished coquette. Nothing s^nas to escape his observation, and on the 8li«"f movement near him he swings into hisfaght- ine attitude, raising his upper jaw and erecting his fangs, which in a state of repose lie closely packed in the soft muscles of his mouth. This snake is not so active as the famous copper-head of North Amen nor so quick t^ strike, but one blow » f ^o^* always fatal His fangs are so long that they uenetrate deep into the muscles and veins of ^8 victim, who has little time for more t^ a ringle good bye before clos"g his eves for ever.

GEMS OF THOUGHT. Never let your zeal outrun your charity. Whoever has a contented mind has always riches. Ungratefulness is the very poison of man- hood. No thoroughly occupied man was ever et miserable. If you would create something, you must be something. Judge all men from the presumption of their innocence. To indulgea conec'.ousne'S of goodness is the way to lose it. Knavery is supple, and can bend, but honesty is firm and upright and yields not. In things of the mind we look for no com- pulsion but that of light and reason. Be discreet in all things, and so render it unnecessary to be mysterious about any. No principle is more noble, as there is none more holy, than that of true obedi- ence. " One soweth, and another reapeth,." is a verity that applies to evil as well as good. He who is the most slow in making a promise is the most laithful in the periorm- anoe of it. Everything without tells the individual that he is nothing everything within per- suades him that he is everything. Nothing makes the world seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance they make the latitudes and the longtitudes. When the golden rule is employed in gov- ernmental matters, then, and not till then, the future of nations will be sure. Being less annoyed at the defects of others, is one of the best proofs that we are Kppeoaching freedom from the defects our- selvea. There is no better ruler than judgment no safer (mardian than justice no strong- er sword than rij^t no surer ally thui tratii. Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning but give me the man tJMt has pluck to fight when he's sure of los- ing. A Few Don'ts. Don't be cross as a bear. Don't drive the domestic ma J. ,. Don't cry when you break tilings. Don't slop too much water around. Don't roll the piano over j'our corns. Don't give the baby the benzine bottle. Don't run your head through the window. Don't make a vow never to clean houie again. Don't set your husban I's dinner on the bottom of a wash tub. Don't make a fuss if you find the baby having a breal and molasses party on your white satin pillow. You can't help the sofa pillow.and the baby won't understand what you're going mad about. Don't try to make ends meet, when the carpet you bought at the auction won't go within two feet of a wall. Buy a border to match it, or move into a smaller bouse, or get a mason, to move the walls to fit it. A Bnmored Wedding. A. good deal is said about the probable marriage of Princess Clementine of Belgium and Prince Albert Victor of Wales. The talked of union, says the London Truth, would have its advantages and drawbacks. Among the former is the wealth accumulat- ed by the first and second Leopold. Under the Belgian law the Princess Clementine must inherit a third of the very important dowry which the archduke Joseph gave her mother, and the same share of the paternal fortune, uid of that of her Aunt Charlotte. Her great monetary expectations should re- lieve the House of Commons of the necessity of voting her ' 'a suitable provision. " Here- tofore the different princes and princesses who arrived from Germany to enter the royal family were unprovided for unless by the British Parliament. A Strange Story of Real Life. William Leverich, the driver of Thirty- eight's engine, made the most singular dis- covery that he had been living in the same town with his sister for three years, but all the time unknown to him, and the accident- al occurrence of his name in a newspaper was the means of his making the discovery. Leverich left home about thi,rteen years ago, and like 30 many other young men iu obey- ing Horace Greeley's precept to go West, he drifted West and finally to California. He became careless in his correspondence, and for several years his folks did not know where he was. During this time his sister married a gentleman named J. S. Hunt, and three years age they came to Los An geles. As Mrs. Hunt did not know of her brotiier's whereabouts, uid be did not know she was married or in California, they did not meet until recently, when Mrs. Hunt accidently saw her lnxther's name in the Herald.â€" Lot Amieles {CaL) Time$.
