HOW MoNNEYs are CAUGHT.

Almost all monkeys which one sees
in the United States, come from Cor
gona, q little village which is situated
a short distance from the Panama Rail-
road. The Inhabitants of this district
are mostly native negroes for no white
man could bear the climate without
drinking plenty of whisky and almost
constantly swallowing -quinine.The
whole region is marshy and covered
with extremely profuse tropical vegeta-
ton. At night there arises q thick va
por, laden with fever, which hangs
over the woods like a cloud.
The region of wood is the paradise of
the monkeys. They travel in troops
around the woods, led by an older
monkey. When the people receive the
information that the travelling monkey
troops" are near the village, they re-
pair to the woods in crowds to
chase them. Their plan is very simple.
They cut q hole in a c%ocoanut large
enough for q monkeys paw. The nut
is then followed out, and q piece OF
sugar is placed in it. A piece of string
is then fastened to it and it is placed in
it. A piece of string is then fastenedto
it and it is placed in the road of the mp
preaching monkeys. 1t is known that
monkeys are very inquisitiye animals.
Sure enough they see the lonesome"
%cocoHnut in the grass, and hurry to ex-
anime it Thoroughly. 1t is a curious sight
to see how they climb from the trees,
ch~attering, to take a good view Of the
concern.
It does not take them long to find out
that the inner part contains a piece of
sugar. One of the boldest and greed
-iest sticks a paw into the nut to get tie
sugar and grasps it as tightly as he
can. But his fist is So large that he
cannot draw it out of the hole again
with the sugar, which he holds fast to
cost what it may. The negroes now
pull the string until nut and monkey
arrive in the vicinity of their ambus-
cade. In the meantime the other mon
keys wonder what is the matter with
their comrade. They hurry to see
where he is being pulled to with his
paw in the cocoanut. They crowd
around him, chatteringg and g%esticulat-
ing to their hearts content.
Now tie great moment has come. The
negroes have q large ~netready and they
spread it out oyer the unsuspecting
monkeys and before they know it they
are prisoners. They are sold to the en-
ployes of the Panama railroad and reach
the North American market through
commercial dealers.-Brooklyn Eagle.

An UNFoRTUNA1E POSTCARD.

The Siam papers contain ar account
of the Imprisonment in Bangkok of a
Turkish subject, named Belitski, for
seven months without being brought to
trial by the Siamese authorities. His
offense was that, having lately arrived
in Bangkok from Hong Kong, he had
addressed to his wife, Madame Char
lotte Belitski, Tornovie Seimen, Rou-
melia, Turkey, q postcard, on which
the following was written in the Ger
man language:
Bangkok, December Z, 1868.-Here
everything is wild and uncultiyated;
the women go about half naked. All
vices flourish here-a paradise for prob.
lematic existences. What o contrast to
the highly civilized natives Of China
and Japan, where I have lately been!
Siam is a genuine Wallachian country.
It is the widest country I have ever
seen in my travels.
"RoBERT BELITsKI."
On the sixteenth of December, Belit-
ski was arrested on a charge, as he I'M
derstood it, of libeling the Siamese
government. He was never brought to
trial. and was liberated on the repre-
sentation of certain British subjects.
He made his way to Batavia to lay his
complaint before the Turkish consul
there, Turkey having no treaty with
Siam.

An Arkansas Miner Kills Five Other People,

Fort SMITH. Ark, Dec. H. Charles
Joplin shot and killed five persons to-day,
at the Jenny lead mine, twelve miles from
here, and then committed suicide by shoot
ing himself. Those he killed were John
Miller, his wife. his grown daughter, Lou
Miller, Dr. Stewart, prominent pbysi-
clan, and q man whose name is not known.
The shooting occurred late in the day, and
details are meager- The only clew to the
cause Of the killing lies in q report that
DR.. Stewart intimated that Joplin was the
cause of Miss Miller's trouble.
Another dispatch says: At about O'clock
this morning r. G. Caldwell. . prominent
farmer. was driving home from this
city, and when about four miles out
was intercepted by q footman. armed
with shotgun, who asked him If
either of his mules would ride" Cald-
well told him no. About this time an old
man came along riding a pony. The
footman ordered him to get
off, but he did not comply prompt
ly and the man shot him twice.
then mounted the old mans pony and rode
him about three miles, when the animal
gave out and he abandoned him.
He then caught q young man driv-
ing an empty wagon and jumped in 1T.
He told the young fellow to drive for
his life or he would kill him. TAX
ing the whip from the driver ne
whipped up the team and ran the
mules to Jenn Linn, a distance of three
or four miles. Arriving there he went
to the store of DR.. l.. ID. Stewart, and see-
ing several men about the place drove them
away with his .un, entered the store and
shot Stewart down. He then walked out,
but returned and shot Stewart again.
From Stewards he went to the house of

been summoned, came mp to him.;
Miller is dead and it is said Mrs. Miller
cannot recover. While in the wagon with

name was Bill Joplin. He gave

The Wage-Earner's Wrongs.

Eere, then, is the wage-earners' in
dictment of the wages system.
Every man has right, because he
has duty, to earn his daily bread by
the sweat of his brow. The wage
system denies this right to myriads of
willing workers. In America, the
working mans Eldorado, nearly ], ,OOO,-
600 willing workers were thrown out
of employment in 1885. Enforced
ldlencss," says Carlyle, ''is the Eng
lishman's hell" That system cannot
be right which turns 100000 Of will
ling workers in rich America into
this hell and locks the door against
them. Every man has right to the
product of his own industry; under
the wage system the greater part Of
the products Of industry goes into the
hands of the few tOol-owners. The
wealth Of this country has increased
during the past quarter-century from
fourteen billion to forty-four billion.
A careful statistician estimates that
the wages of 100000 of unskilled la
borers were in 1884 less than 5000 a
year, while the average wages Of
workmen engaged in manufactures,
including skilled laborers, was but
$346 year. That system cannot be
right which gives the profits of indus
try to the few and compels the many
to live always praying. Give us this
day our daily bread.-ReU. Lyman
Abbot IN the July Forum.
