How MONKEYS are Caught.

The monkeys are frequently captured
in nooses, and In traps built in the shape
Of houses The only entrance is a trap
door in the roof, which communicates
with trigger set upon the ground.
Food is spread about inside, the mon
keys enter, and, skirmisl1ing around
disturb the trigger, and the trap shuts
themin The third method for catching
them is most ludicrous one. An old,
hard cocoanut is taken, and very small
hole is made in the shell. Furnished
with this and a pocketful of boiled rice,
the sportsman sallies into the forest,
and stops beneath tree tenanted by
monkeys. Within sight Of these inquis-
tive spectators, he first eats little rice,
and then puts quantity into the cocoa
nut, with all the ostentation possible.
The nut is then laid upon the ground,
and the hunter retires to convenient
ambush. The reader may be sure that
the man is no more than out of sight
than the monkeys race helter-skelter
for thecoeoanut. The first arrival peeps
into it, and, seeing the plentiful store of
rice inside, squeezes his hand in through
the tiny hole, and clutches a handful.
Now, SO paramount is greed over every
other feeling connected with monkey
nature, that nothing will induce the
creature to relinquish his hold. With
his hand thus clasped he cannot possibly
extract it.; but the thought that if he
leaves go, one of his brethren will OBJ
tain the feast, is over powering. The
sportsman soon appears upon the scene;
the unincumbered monkeys fly in all
directions, but the unfortunate brute,
who still will not let the rice go, is
thereby handicapped beyond hope with
a eocoanut as large as himself state
Of affairs quite fatal to rapid locomotion.
either terrestrial or arboreal. The Sc
quel is that he falls an easy capture to
the hunter, a victim to mis- own greed.
Even when caught, he reads in the &C.
tions of his captor design to rob him
Of his rice, and he clutches it all the
harder and theyery first thing hedoes
when the nat is cracked and the hand
released, is to cram it's contents into his
mouth. Thoughts of escape come after
ward
