A white baboon has recently arrived
in England and is located at Bedford.
His photograph was secured after the
expenditure of much time and patti
ence, owing to his particularly savage
and restless nature, but at last under
the soothing influence Of a bottle OF
milk, negative was obtained. This
full grown male baboon, standing be.
tween three and four feet high, was
captured from his mother after an
exciting chase by some Trek Beers
in the Murchisa range, district of
johannesburg, South Africa, some two
years ago, and after being reared in
that country has been brought to En-
gland by his present owner. During
the voyage he suffered severely from
seasickness, but since his arrival he
has quite regained his activity and
health. His skin and hair are per.
fectly white, and it is claimed that he
is the only white baboon of which
there is any authentic record.

"Why not be polite ?" was the in
cisive initial question put by the late
Bishop D. w. Clark in practical pa
per on the above subject written long
before he was Bishop of his Church.
How much does it cost to say, II
thank you?" Why not practice it at
home ?-to your husband, your chill
dren, YOUR dOmestics If q stranger
does you $little act of courtesy, how
sweet the smiling acknowledgment
If your husband-ah it's matter OF
course; don't say: mo need OF
thanks"
Should an acquaintance tread on
your dress-your very, very best-and
by accident tear it, how profuse you
would be with your Never mind"
Don't think Of it," If your hus-
bandidoes it, perhaps he gets frown ;
if child, perhaps you think he ought
to be chastised.
All! "These are little things" you
say. But they tell nightly upon the
heart, little as they are.

and finds it in confusion. He doesn't
see anything that requires an apology
doesn't even think al apology is call.
ed for; accepts everything as right, the
cold supper, the cold room. etc. but
he goes home, where the wife has been
caring for the sick ones all day, and
working her life almost out. Hear
him: "Don't see why things can't be
kept in better order; never were such
cross children before" No apologies
waited for or accepted at home
Why not be polite at home? Why
not use freely that golden coin of
courtesy? How sweet they sound
those little words, II thank you," ""You
are very kind" Doubly, yes, thrice,
sweet from the lips we love; when the
heart swells may the eye sparkle. with
the clear light of affection
Be polite to your children. Do you
expect them to be mindful of your
Welfare?-to be happy at your coming?
to bound away to do your pleasure be-
fore the request is half spoken Then
speak with all your dignity and min
gled politeness, and with the utmost
Kindness both in manner and spirit.
Let politeness and kindness have a
niche in your household temple. Only
then will you have learned the true Sc
cret of sending out into the world ad-
ditions to its working forces of real
gentlemen and ladies.
In order to be polite in your home, be
sure to cultivate politeness and kind
ness in your business, and especially
in your business office. How can we
expect to bear with US to the homes Of
our loved ones the politeness and
kindness here commeded if we suffer
ourselves to be unsympathetic, severe,
discourteous, and boorish in our busi-
ness offices and circles? Washing.
ton, though of aristocratic origin as to
family and associations, observed
everywhere, in army, state, and fam,
lily life, the most faultless politeness and
the greatest kindness, both in manner
and spirit, doffing his hat and kindly
recognizing the salutations of even the
humblest servant in the shop or street.
And such were the manner and spirit
of a greater than Washington-the
Great Master, whose followers we pro-
fess to BEN. Y. Advocate.
