DOWN ON THE BABOON.
The Ape Sadly Demoralized with tho Ad-
 vance of Civilization.

vance of Civilization.
 The baboon, writes tho Graaff-Reinet Advertiser, a South African paper, seems to be changing it's nature with the changing climatic conditions. In former years he was 3 vegetarian, his worst offensc being stealing mcalies in the gardens whom he got the chance. Now he has taken to other ways of get ting livelihood. Some say he has joined the carnivora. Any way, it is certain that ho makes it a food busi- ness to get hold of lambs, tear then, open and drink their mothers milk in their stomachs. Said a farmer tho other day to brother farmer: ''Havc you lots of honey on your farm?' Answer: "No, the baboons rob all the nests." "How do they do 1t? the bees would sting them to dcath." The answer was that probably the baboons did the work in the night when the bees were drowsy, sle-py and dull. Any way, he believed the baboons got off with the swag of honey wherever they could get at nest.
 Then MT. Peter Booysen, of Moorfon- tein, has his story to tell of tho new de- velopment of the baboon: 1t attacks tho wild aloe, pulls it down and tears out the pith for food. MT. Booysen, ST., does not object to this, as he would be glad if all the wild aloes on his farm were cleaned out by any means whatso- ever. The special wish of the father and son is that baboons would take some food-providing operations which would get rid of the prickly pear. But, as the substance of the leaf and of tho trunk of tho prickly pear is nothing but water, the wish is not likely to be grati- fled. Any way, tho poisoning clubs have classed the baboon with tho wild carniv- ora, and the rife and arsenic arc now busy destroying him.
 Farmers give interesting instances of the difficulty of roisoning the baboon, the fellow being about as ''slim" as human being. One farmer believes tho fellow tastes the poison as prepared and disguised for him, and, if he finds it is not good thing for tho stomach, spits it out. The farmer, however, has sue- cceded in giving the arsenic such pal atablc surroundings that tho shrewdness of the baboon is not proof against the palatable temptation, and he dies.

CHIEF ENGINEER sNAGG.

Our compliments to Chief Samuel C. Snagg, of the fire department. After fifty or more ballots and months of "suspense" he was last night reelected. by the vote of Miles F. Connolly, dem ocratic fire commissioner. As a fireman we have no fault to find with Chief Snagg and believe he will successfully manage the volunteer department in the future as he has in the past. What the DEMOCRAT most objected to was the methods employed by Chief Snagg and his friends, aided by Connolly, to secure the former an increase of salary. The whole thing was cut and dried and it was understood a month ago that when the proper time came Mir Snagg would be reelected chief. In return for his treachery Connolly expects to be re- elected fire commissioner by republican votes. Whether he will or not remains to be seen.

Cotton Stalk Fiber.

It is said to have been demonstrated that the cotton stalk, which has hitherto been regarded as waste, contains valu- able fiber A lot of the stalks were re- gently sent from Arkansas to a factory in New York to be operated on in the same manner as flax and hemp. There were returned about twenty different grades of fibrous material, from coarse strands of tho stalk to the glossy fiber as soft as silk. Persons are now engaged in perfecting machine that will spin he material. The fiber is sufficiently strong to mako the best of bsgging, as we'll as cloth as fine as linen.

A Taste of Luxury Once a Year.

A hoary-headed old tramp, rich with the experience of years, reaped rich harvest on election day. Lea2ing heav- fly upon his staff, he would approach a polling place. An embassy would hurry forward to receive him. He would re- mark that his old limbs were chilled, and he would warm up bit before cast ing his vote. Borne into saloon he would then he treated to the warmest and best potions in the house. By and by he would say: "What district is this?" and being answered would exclaim: "Ah, am in such district" and then march slowly away to work other places in tho same manner.

 how to Read It.
 One afternoon a number of us were sitting on the verandah of the town tav- ern in town in Indiana, when a farmer drove up with some bags of apples to sell. It was plain enough to all that he was drinking man, and after looking him over the Major said:
 Human nature, when under the in- fuence of liquor is a queer thing"
 ''Yes," replied two or three, as in duty bound.
 'Some men, as they come under the influence, break down and weep, while others become ugly and want to fight. can read that mans character like book. Get him half drunk and he would fall to weeping.'
 ''I don't know about that" replied one of the crowd. 'I think he would be in- clined to raise row.
 Beg pardon, but I never yet made a mistake" said the Major.
 ''I think you have in this case," pro tested the other. II will prove, sir, that have not" The farmer was already in the bar-room Major entered, had little talk on agri-
 
 drink again.
 Thanks. Don't keer fl do," was the answer, as he poured out and swal- lowed four fingers of old rye.
 He began to feel it right off, and com menced bragging and boasting. He for got his errand entirely, and after wrang- ling with the landlord for quarter of an hour, getting drunker all the while, hn hn dol a1yiv no ugly as bear with sore feet.
 "Where in blazes is that red-headed, lop-shouldered old scarecrow who was asking me about corn?" he demanded. 'I'm the individual" replied the Major.
 "Oh, you arc! Then kin lick you with my ears pinned back! Say, you in- suited mel" | "Oh, no, sir"
 "Yes, you did, and I'm going to lick | you for it' With that he grabbed the Major, chair and all, and flung both over the railing to the ground, and was going after them to drive our man into the ground when | prevented. It took a constable and two citizens to arrest him, and when he had sobered up little he tore out one wall of the town lookup and went home whoopiny like an Indian.
 ''llow is it, Major?' was asked of the character reader as we got him to bed and rubbed liniment on his back and shoulders.
 Well, boys," he faintly replied, q don't believe I was mistaken in the man, but the landlord must have given him the wrong stuff. thought at the time that it smcllcd like chain light. ming playing circus in an old haymow and I now believe it was.

Do not wait for the first symptoms of the disease before securing the remedy, but get bottle and keep it on hand for use the moment it is needed. If neglected the ir luenza has a tendency to bring on pneumonia. All drd. ,ists sell the Ralsam.

MAYOR BALDwlN's MESSAGE.

First let us congratulate Mayor Bald win upon the brcvity of his maiden message. In this respect it is model document. Not an ounce of superHuoua fat was left upon it, to tire the council members in reading and make the hur- ried printers swear when the foreman shouted for all hands to pull in,' just before press hour, as is too often the case. The sentences are short. crisp and directly to the point, and the ''lfs are few and far between.
 The course laid out by the DEMOCRAT in the form of after election sugges- tions, has been followed in the main by Mayor Baldwin, and his recommenda- tions are deserving of careful considera- ton. His suggestion that committee be appointed to push the matter of a union railway station, is timely. EX- perience teaches that railroad companies must be prodded and prodded before they will act in matter of this kind. The recommendation that committee be appointed to prepare a new charter Is also in order.
 
 city and town governments recommend ed by the mayor, is not thoroughly un- derstood by the majority of people. and any movement in this direction at pres ent would probably meet with defeat. The advantages of such a radical change must first be thoroughly understood be- fore it can be successfully carried out.
 The position taken by Mayor Baldwin Tn regard 70 the fire del art ment is a crusher to the hjgh-handed methods of the borad of fire commissioners. The new mayor believes, with the DEM oCRAr, that the present system is good enough for Waterbury and hat it will be many years before we can afford to have a paid depar.ment.
 The mayors remarks in regard to the assessors, and taxation, are also of in- terest to every taxpayer and should be carefully considered.
 The last recommendation of the mayor in which he advises the city boards to live within their appropriations indicates that the administration is to be an cco- nomical one. We hope so, and if Mayor Baldwin can do away with these ''extra" appropriations for which Waterbury has become notorious, his labors will not have been in vain.
