Their Engerness to Get II.
The tshakama, a monkey of the bab-
oon family which is rather common in
South Africa, has become a perfect
plague of the Transvaal farmers. The
ape, says the Philadelphia Record, has
acquired the habit of killing young
lambs, not in order to eat their meat,
hut simply to tear open their stomachs
and drink the milk contained therein.
Having acquired passionate desire for
milk, and being unable to milk the
sheep themselves, they patiently wait
until they see lamb sucking milk
from its mother, and take it away as they
would take amill1 pailwhichw was thrown
a.way after the contents are consumed
The tshallama then takes to the cacti
thicllets, which are inaccessible to hui
man beings, and furnish at the same
time refuge and source of food in
the fleshy leaves and fruit for the monk
cys. o.
The same ape has also quickly learned
to distinguish men from women. At
the approach of a man they quickly
flee, while they allow u woman to come
quite near, paying no attention to them.
The farmers, however, have adopted
themselves to the circumstances, and
when lambs are missing from their
floclls they don the skirts and bonnets
of their wives, and, taking up gun,
start in pursuit of the mischievous an
finals.

while the financial writer's on that
journal fail to give due consideration
to international debt they will con-
tinue to grope in the dark and meet
disappointments. All of which is to
the point.

to Europe, especially England

people who were in the vicinity that a
boy was drowned. Young Gotimer's
brother, younger than Harry by several
years, was watching diver who was at
work some distance away and he with
other lads hurried to the spot. Although
