How MONKEYS ARE CAUGHT.-We were
much amused at reading the following extract
from a letter in Africa, which recited how mon
keys are caught there:
In Dafour and Sanaar the natives make fer
paented beer of which the monkeys are passion
ately fond. Aware of this, the natives 60 to
parts of the forest frequented BY the monkeys,
and set on the ground calabashes full OF the
LIQUOR. AS soon as the monkey sees 1t and
tastes it, he utters loud cries of JOY that soon
attracts his comrades. chen the orgle begins,
and, in, a short time they show all degrees OF
intoxication. Then the negroes appear. The
few monkeys that come ZOO late to get fuddled,
escape. The drinkers are too far gone to dis
trust the negroes, but apparently take them Tor
larger specimens of their own species. When
a negro takes one by the hand to lead him of,
the nearest monkey will cling to the one that
thus finds support, and endeavor to 60 OH
also. Another will grasp at him, and 50 on,
anti the negro leads staggering line OF ten
or fifteen tipsy monkeys. When fnally'brought
to the village, they are securely Gagged and
gradually sobered down; but for two or three
days gradually diminishing supply is given
them, 20 as to reconcile them by degrees to their
state of captivity.
DIR. Darwin has for sometime been teaching
the scientific world that men are on4y improve
ment on wcll-grown monkey. From the
above, which was clipped from Flakes Bulletin,
and sent us by friend, we have something to
strengthen the monkey origin doctrine! But
strong as the conduct of the monkeys resemble
drunken men, the conduct Of the negroes re-
sesnbles that of the lquor-selers still stronger:
The negroes take advantage Of the fondness of
the poor monkeys for the beer, and use it to
deceive and capture them. Once drunk, and
the poor monkey is no longer free. So the
kquor-seller sets out his beer and liquors,
knowing the weakness of some of his fellow
men, that when once they have gotten taste
of the poison, they will be no longer able to o
take care of themselves, but may be easily led
off into captivity, to answer the purposes of the
Who is monkey enough to taste the accursed
stuff, and be a Gagged victim the balance OF his

"A correspondent of the Scientific Aneri,
can says Let any one who has an attack of
lock- Jaw take small quantity of turpentine,
warm it and pour it on the wound, no matter
where the wound is, and relief will follow in
less than one minute. Nothing better can be
applied to a severe cut than cold turpentihe; it
will give certain relief almost instantly. Tur-
pentine is also sovereign remedy for Group.
Saturaie piece of flannel with it and place
the flannel on the throat and chest, and in

: The watch trade is cited as as ILLUSTRATION

- The watch trade is cited as as illustration
of the reason why women cannot earn the same
wages as men, although possessing equal me-
chanical ability. In England it is stated that
many of the workmen had tried to Instruct their
wives, sisters and daughters to follow the busi-
ness, but that the nervous power of women vas
inadequate for work requiring such strict acca-
racy as matchmaking. The watch tradej it
was asserted, had gone to Switzerland because
many persons were not particular as to the va
ration in the rate of their watches, and there
fore purchased cheap and inferior article, the
product of the labor of the Swiss women.
