Drawing a Baboon's Tooth.

A large baboon in the monkey-house of
the Geological Society at Regents Park
has been suffering for several weeks from
toothache, which has eliminated in a
large abscess. The poor creature must
have suffered intense pain, Judging from
the large swelling on its cheek under the
left eye, and the sense of agony which he
manifested was much the same as hu-
man being would suffer under similar
affection. He was unable to eat his or
binary food, and his spirits were much
affected by the incessant suffering pro-
ceeding from the abscess. 1t was COM
mon sight to see the baboon nursing his
own head and face in the corner of his
cage, apparently anxious to abstract him
self from the notice of every one, his
hand being held over the affected part as
though to soothe it. This circumstance
having been mentioned by Mr.. Colam,
Secretary of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to Mr..
Gurnell Hammond, West End dentist,
that gentleman at once offered to extract
the tooth, under chloroform, at his own
expense. The suffering of the baboon
made him unusually suspicious of stran-
gers, and consequently the operators
could not approach the animal without
considerable danger. 1t was thought
desirable not to pinion Peter, as the ami
NAL is called, and to secure him only
with a short chain, in order that no un-
necessary alarm might be caused. The
baboon evidently liked the odor of the
chloroform, and permitted the operators
to place the linen which was saturated
with the spirit near his nose, but not
closely enough for it to produce insen-
sibility. Peter for nearly half an hour
successfully bafied the skill of the opera
tors by licking the chloroform off the
linen instead of inhaling it. But it was
apparent that gradually he was becoming
more and more drowsy. At length the |
perseverance of the dentists (who were
assisted by the keepers) was rewarded,
and in about 40 minutes Peter dropped |
in his cage, being well under the influence
of the an@sthetic Mr.. Hammond then |
endeavored to remove the first molar
tooth in the upper jaw, which he failed |
to accomplish until he had made several
attempts. The tooth seemed to resist all |
his muscular strength, but, fortunately, |
he succeeded before the sensibility of the |
animal returned. The tooth was found |
to be badly deeayed, the nerve being
dead, which led too the formation of the
abscess. Two minutes later Peter sat on
his launches perfectly recovered, free
from pain, and at once commenced to eat,
apparently thankful for the performance
OF this act of mercy.-London Standard.

Then she added in whisper:
And | love God, who made US all so
happy. Sisters, wish could give Him
something"
Mother says if we love Him that
is what He likes best of all" replied
Leila
Yes, but 1 do want to do something
for Him-something that would give
me trouble. Cant you think of any
thing?"
Leila thought little and said;
Perhaps you could print text for

Suffer little children to come unto Me,
and forbid them not. "
But Tiny was only six years old, and
it was very difficult for her to hold a
pen, so she only did two letters every
day until it was finished. Then she
went alone to her room and knelt down.
Please God" she said, 4" did this text
for you. Please take it from Tiny, for
Jesus Christ's sake" And God heard
the prayer, for he always listens when
little children truly pray.
So Tlny's text was sent up to London,
and lady put very pretty flower into
the card and took it to hospital, She
stopped beside a bed where little boy
was lying. His face was almost as white
as the pillow on which he lay, and his
dark eyes were filled with tears.
Is the pain very bad to-day, Willie T.
Yes, miss, it's dreadful. But it's not
so much the pain as mind I'm used to
that, yer know. Father beat me every
day almost when he was drunk. But
the doctor says I'm too i'll for m to ave
any hopes for me, and I'm mighty afeared
to die"
"Ifyou had friend who loved you
very much, and you were well, should
you be afraid to go and stay with him,
Willie? ?"
why no, I'd like to go, in course.
1 have brought you message from a
Friend who has loved you all your life
long. He wants you to trust Him, and
to go and live with Him. He will love
you always, and you will always be hap
py."
Then the lady read Tinya text, Suffer
little children to come unto Me-" She
told him how Jesus lad died, and then
rose again and went to heaven to prepare
a place for him, and many other children
too. She told him how Jesus is still say
ing, Come, and his hand is still held
out to bless"
So Willie turned to the Good Shep-
herd, and was no longer afraid.
A few days afterwards he whispered,
" Lord Jesus, am coming" and died
