South Africans Ape Pest,
From the Paris Figaro.

From the Paris Figaro.
The Sourh African colonists have got rid
of theiI lions and elephants, but they have
not yet been a. lie to get the better of the
balloons. baboon, although somewhat
like dog, has all the mischievousness Of
a man. 1t Is the uglest animal In all ere
alton. TIE Beers call him Adonis, and
never designate him under the official
name that has been given to him by
science.
Now, this creature is the curse of the
Cape Colony. He commits depredations
for the love of the thing. Any imprudent
tomcat that ventures too far away from
home Is sure to be captured and strangled
for fun by baboon. Nearly all the An
goras, the choicest and most costly ami
mails imported by the colonists.. have been
destroyed by these huge monkeys. Even
the dogs share the same fate. The bravest
and most pugnacious of the English canine
breeds are unable to cope with advarsaries
armed with just as powerful jaws, and
with che immense advantage of having
four hands instead of four paws. With a
dexterity that conspicuously exhibits his
surgical aptitude, the baboon bleeds his
enemy in the throat, and in less than a
minute the duel ends in the death of the
dog.
One of the principal amusements of these
big monkeys is to gambol around the wire
fences that protect the tale ostriches Just
to terrify them The panic among them is
so great that they often break their legs
In their wild rushes. This is a pastime
which the monkeys seem to enjoy hugely.
A broken leg for an ostrich means a death
sentence.

A Difference.
From Scribner's.

From Scribner'8
1t is so difficult to imagine a young
American voluntarily choosing a ranch as
a start in life that it Is hardly worth while
trying to do SO. AS a rule he either thinks
of the country as the place where market
vegetables come from and Thanksgiving
turkeys are raised. or else it represents to
him large and expensive establishment at
Lakewood or some such place, with a casino
and bowling alley and polo team attached.
And as for the most part the American
does not play polo nor hunt nor shoot nor
fish with any real, genuine enthusiasm
the latter view he takes is scarcely more
aliuring than the former. Down deep in
his heart he knows that he would much
rather be trying to run an electric railway
or bank. or building bridges or losing
money in Wall street. than to be doing
any Of those things. But the young Eng
lishman is entirely different. He has al
ways known and enjoyed outdoor sports
1t is the life he likes best, and he imagines
that ranch life is first and foremost a
sporting life.

Facts are substantiated by no less per-

tour through New England made a visit
to this mill in 1889. and recorded at length
his impressions. This was year before
