Most of the higher anlmals--as
monkeys, elephants, bears. horses, and
dogs-have natural fondness for fer
mented liquors, and suffer from the
abuse of these liquors as men do.
From the book of Maccabees it is EVIL
dent that war-elephants We're mad
dened Of old with new wine, as they
have been and are with arrack down to
the present time. Managers of mem
ageries and employees ut the various
geological gardens know that the ele-
plants under thr care are prepared
to go on a Wild drunk whenever OPP
porltunity offers: Whisky Is officially
given them when they are i'll or low
the quantity varying from five to ten
gallons, according to the requirements
OF the case. This IL put into their
drinking water. Bears and monkeys
drink beer like German students. and
love whisky equally well. In Africa
the natives make use of this evil trait
to capture their poor relations. The
monkeys there are extremely fond OF a
beer brewed by the natives. So the
latter place quantities of the liquor
within easy reach of the monkeys. and
wait until their victims are thoroughly
befuddled. In this state they are I'M
able to recognize the difference between
negro and ape. When the negro takes
the hand of one of them to lead him
OFF, second monkey takes the hand
OF the first. third that Of the second,
and so on. A single negro may some
times be seen carrying off string of
staggering monkeys. Fresh doses of
beer In decreasing quantities are ad-
ministered to the captives, so that they
may only gradually awaken to the sad
results of their spree.--William S.
Walsh, in May Lippincotts.
