Monkeys who Mixed Their Drinks.

AS well as the apes in general our
balloons were passionately fond of
strong liquors, and had peculiar pro-
pensity for merisa, a kind of beer made
of the grains of durrah by the inhabit-
ants of the Soudan. Brandy was not
to their taste, but unfortunately they
made an exception one day. After
having swallowed copious quantities OF
merisa each one of the troop was
offered big glass of date brandy,
which he drank. AS consequence
they became completely intoxicated, in
solent, passionate, bestial, and grinned
and Qamboled in fearful manner; In
a word, they offered the hideous carl
cature of drunken men. The next day
thirteen of the drunkards were suffer-
ing from the consequences of the spree,
and looked sick unto death. All food
gave them nausea; they turned away
with disgust from merisa, and even
from wine, favorite beverage In ordi-
nary times; the only things they ac-
cepted were lemons, of which each one
ate an average of twenty pieces. In
this wretcbed state they comforted
Themselves like men, and would doubt
less have enjoyed sour herring If had
been possible TO secure this antidote in
the country OF the Mahdi. In the
evening they felt better, and We're all
right the next morning. 1 hoped this
hard lesson would teach my pupils the
advantage of abstinence, but, alas
was mistaken once more in my life
They drank and reveled all they same
and from that day drank brandy with
prediction. Popular Science.
