March

Are the best months in which to purify your
blood. During the long, cold winter, the
blood becomes thin and impure, the body be-
comes weak and tired, the appetite may be
lost, and just now the system Graves the aid of
a reliable medicine. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
peculiarly adapted to purify and enrich the
blood, to create good appetite and to over
come that tired feeling. 1t is the ideal
Spring Medicine.
1t rs a Sure Thing.
So says Mine Host" Pollard, keeper of the
hotel at Ludlow, VT Read his letter:
My wife has used Hoods Sarsaparilla for
several years and always found it an ex-
cellent remedy. AS a blood purifier and gem
eral tonic it is a thing. We take to it
as duck does to water. Other mem berS OF
our family have used it with good effect"

SOME MAORI TRAITS.

A dusky worshipper, whose re-
quests for blankets had at last elicit
ed decided refusal from the mission
airy, replied: "Kapai'' (good); mo
more blankets, no more halleluj abs"
and thereupon returned to the faith
of his fathers No less humorous,
though in another way, was the
remark of a Maori who had claimed
a piece of land, and had been asked
to tell the court on what proof he
relied for his title Pointing to the
rival claimant, he said, Il ate his
father"
On one occasion the late Sir
Donald Mclean was commissioned
by the colonial government to pur-
chase a large tract of land from
Maori chief For three days Sir
Donald remained the chiefs guest.
They rode, talked, ate, and smoked
together. Each night the bags of
gold containing part of the purchase
money were solemnlv handed over
to the chief for safe keeping, and
restored again to the commissioner
attendant in the morning. But not
a word was said about the purchase
of the land. On the third morning
Sir Donald prepared TO return. The
horses were led round and farewellS
were exchanged.
Go on your way in peace" said
the chief
Dwell in safety in your village"
replied the commissioner.
Then at last the Maori, beaten at
his own game, gave in.
In I
wish to sell the land Why does he
not speak about it.
After that, of course the business
was soon settled.
story like this prepares US for
the information that the MaOris
have taken very kindly to the game
of chess, and that they make ex-
cellent players. Like all primitive
peoples, the Maoris are very in
quisitive, and, in the manner of chill
dren, are inclined to bring every thing
to their mouths to test its qualities.
In the early days party OF MaOris
came across some bars of soap which
had been washed ashore from a
wreck. Finding that the stuff was
too sticky to be eaten raw, they
resolved to cook it. Accordingly
they cut it up into small pieces and
sprinkled these pieces over the sweet
potatoes and fish which formed their
evening meal. Finally, they covered
the whole mass over with tern leaves
and mats, and, putting earth on the
top, left everything to bake quietly
in the ovens till the evening. The
scene at that evening meal must have
been very Jimmy. Not only did the
tribe have to go supperless to bed,
but the whole set of ovens were
spoiled, and new ones had to be con-
structed before any further cooking
could be done.-[All the Year Round.

A MONKEYS LING UISTIC A CHIEVE-
MENT.

In the room where the monkeys
are kept by a dealer in Washington
there is a cage containing a young
white-faced cebus of more than
average intelligence. On the same
shelf and in an adjacent cage is the
little capuchin Puck. They can
easily see and hear each other
through the open wire partition
which separates them, there being no
other obstruction. l have visited
Puck for many weeks almost daily,
and always supply him with food at
ter requiring him to ask me for it in
his own language. Having but lit
tie interest In the white-face, who is
very shy of me, l rarely showed him
the slightest attention until within
the past few weeks, when | observed
him trying to utter the capuchin
sound for food, which always secured
for Puck a banana or some nuts.
Seeing that Puck was always re-
warded for uttering this sound, the
little white-face began to try it, and
as soon as l discovered his purpose
l began to reward him in the same
way, and have thus seen one step
taken by monkey in the mastery of
another tongue. At first his effort
was quite poor and l could not
Al once decide what he meant; but
practice has developed in him great
proficiency, and now he speaks it al
most as plainly as the capuchin him
self. This was doubly interesting to
me in view of the fact that had long
believed that no monkey ever acquired
the sounds of another species. 1
frankly admit that this one instance
is alone sufficient to cause me to
recede from a conclusion rendered

untenable by such certain proof, the
cogency of which is emphasized by
the short time in which it has been
accomplished; but l still regard it as
a rule that monkeys do not do So
