A Monkey's Revenge. A monkey tied to a ntako was robbed by tho crows (in tho West Indies) of his food, and ho conceived tho following plan of punishing tho thieves : lie feigned death and lay perfectly motionless motion-less on tho ground near to the stake. The birds approached by degrees, and got near enough to steal his food, which ho allowed them to do. This ho repeated several times, till they became be-came so bold as to come within reach of his claws. Ho calculated his distance, dis-tance, and laid hold of one of them. Death was not his plan of punishment. He was more refined in his cruelty; he plucked every feather out of the bird, and then let him go and show himself to his companions. He made a man of him, according to the ancient definition of "a biped without feathers."
