CAPTURING U>nkeyS,

The monkeys are frequently captured
IN nooses and 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, skirmiShing around,
disturb the trigger, and the trap shuts
them in.-s.. The third method for catch
ing them is a most ludicrous one. An
old, hard cocoanut is taken, and very
small hole made in the shell. Furnished
with this and pocketful of boiled rice,
the sportsman sallies into the forest,
and stops beneath a tree tenanted by
monkeys. Within full sight of these in
quisitive spectators he first eats a httlo
rice ano then puts quantity into the
cocoanut with all the ostentation posi-
bic. The nut is then laid upon the
ground, and the hunter retires to con-
venieRt ambush. The reader may be
sure that no sooner is the man out of
sight than the monkeys race helter-skel-
ter for the cocoanut. 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 viii
obtain the feast is overpowering The
sportsman soon appears upon the scene;
the unincumbered monkeys fly in all di-
rections, but the unfortunate brute, who
still will not let the rice 90, is thereby
handicapped beyond hope with a cocoa
nut as large as himself state Of affairs
quite fatal to rapid locomotion, either
terrestrial or arboreal. The sequel is
that he falls an easy capture to the hunt
sr, victim to his own greed. Even
when caught he reads in the actions of
his captor a design to rob him of his
rice, and he clutches it all the harder
and the very first thing he does when
the nut is cracked and the hand released
is to cram its contents into his mouth.
Thoughts of escape come afterward.-
London Field.

ThOreau.

Thoreau was, probably, the widest
eiviiized man this country has produced,
adding to the shyness of the hermit and
woodsman the wildness of the poet, and
to the wildness of the poet the greater
ferity and elusiveness of the mystic. An
extreme product of civilization and of
modern culture, he was yet as untouched
| by the worldly and commercial spirit Of
his age and country as any red man that
ever haunted the shores of his native
stream. He put the whole of nature be-
tween himself and his fellows. A man
of the strongest local attachments-not
the least nomadic, seldom wandering be-
yond his native township, yet his spirit
was as restless and as impatient of re-
straint as any nomad or Tartar that ever
/ lived. He cultivated an extreme wild
ness, not only in his pursuits and tastes,
but in his hopes and imaginings. He
says to his friend, "Hold fast your most
indefinite waking dream" Emerson says
his life was an attempt to pluck the
Swiss edelweiss from the all but inaces-
sible cliffs. The higher and the wilder,
the more the fascination for him. In
deed, the loon, the moose, the beaver
were but faint types and symbols of the
wildness he coveted and would have re-
appear III his life and books not the
cosmical, the un1versal-he asnot great
enough for that-but simply the wild as
distinguished from the domestic and the
familiar, the remote and the surprising
as contrasted with the hackneyed and
the commonplace, arrow-heads as dis
tinguished from whetstones or jack
knives.
Thoreau was French on one side and
Puritan on the other. It was the wild,
untamable French core in him-a dash
of the gray wolf that stalks through his
ancestral folklore, as in Audubon and
the Canadian UoYdgeurs-that made him
turn with such zest and such genius to
aboriginal nature and it was the Puri-
tan element in him-strong, grim, IN
compromising, almost heartless-tEat
held him to such high, austere, moral
and ideal ends. His genius was Saxon in
its LONELINESS and sincerity, in its direct
ness and scorn of rhetoric but that wild
revolutionary cry Of his and that sort OF
restrained ferocity and hirsuteness are
more French. John Burroughs, in Cent.
ury Magazine.

Holland,

Sunset Cox says: Amid the advancing
elements of our electric and steam civil
cation Holland changes less than any
other nation. She preserves Ill many
places most distinctly her old customs
and habits, and the individuality and
simplicity of her people. The steam
engine may be disturbing many old and
picturesque Esages-such as the wind
mill as motor to pump out the meadows
and keep back the sea-but upon her
roads and canals, at her fishing isles,
and in her cities and cafes, the spirit OF
the elder times prevails, so that he
who runs through Holland may read its
history.

Margaret. the Mother of Criminals.

In an article in the Century Maya
zine, by E. Y. Smalley, the influence of
heredity in crime is forcibly illustrated,
as follows:
At one of the meetings of the New
York Charities Aid Association, when the
subject OF preventing pauperism by Civ
ing proper training to children of
paupers was under consideration, DR..
Elisha Harris related the terrible story
of Margaret, the Mother of Crini-
nails" 1t has been published in the
newspapers, but can proftably be read
again to illustrate the great Importance
of one branch of the associations work
Margaret was pauper child, left adrift
in one of the villages of the Upper Hud-
son, about ninety years ago. There was
no almshouse In the place, and she was
made subject of outdoor relief, receiv-
ing occasionally food and clothing from
the town officials, but was never edu-
Gated or sheltered in q proper home
She became the mother of long race Of
criminals and paupers, which has cursed
the county ever since. The county rec
ords shows 200 of her descendants who
have been criminals. In one generation
of her unhappy line there were twenty
children, of whom seventeen lived to
maturity. Nine served terms sggregat-
ing fifty years in the State prison for
high crimes, and all the others were fire.
quent inmates of iails and almshouses.
1t is said that of the 623 descendants o.
this outcast girl, 300 committed crimes
which brought them upon the court
records, and most of the others were
idiots, drunkards, lunatics, paupers or
prostitutes. The cost to the county of
this race OF criminals and paupers is es-
timated as at least 100000, taking NJ
account Of the damage they inflicted
upon property, and the suffering and de
graduation they causedin others. Who can
gay that all this loss and wretchedness
might not have Leen spared the com
munity if the poor pauper girl Margaret
had been provided with good moral
home life while she was growing up to
womanhood?

And she gently pressed his coat-sleeve,

While she charmed him with her looks;
Then she called him very naughty,
Not at all well up in books.

"equees' Memoir? wish you would"

GEORGE was good boy. He wa,
always willing to take good advice. The
teacher told him one DAY that he should
avoid the appearance of evil. Georg,
remembered this. When he stole Farme,
Clover's apples that night, he saved al
the cores and dropped them in front o.
Dick Blatherskite's yard. Dick was a
bad boy and got punished for stealing
Farmer Clover's apples, but George
avoided the appearance of evil. He ate
the apples. The good are always re-
warded in this world and the bad pun.

In answer to question as to whether or not he
