South Africn's Curse.

Tho South Africa colonists have got
rid Of their lions and elephants, but
they have not yet been able to get the
better of the balloons. A baboon, al
though somewhat like 4 dog, has all
the mischievousness of a man. II is the
uSliest animal in all creation The
Beers call him Adonis and never des-
lxnate 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 impudent
tomcat that ventures too far away
from home Is sure to be captured and
strangled for fun by a baboon. Near
" all the Angoras, the choicest and
most costly animals imported by the
colonIsts, have been destroyed by these
huge monkeys. Even the dogs share
the same fate. The bravest and most
Ipugnacious of the English canine
breeds are unable to cope with adver-
saries armed with just as powerful
laws and with the immense advantage
Of having four hands instead Of four
paws. With a dexterity that conspic
ously exhibits its 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 tame ostriches
Just to terrify them. The panic among
them is SO great that they often breai
their legs in their wild rushes. Thi:
Is a pastims which the monkey seems

Ice Sailint on SkatG0.

Sailing on skates is very popular IN
rome localities. The skater crosses
two sticks, binds them and covers them
with canvas, making the whole aoou'
six feet by one or two in extent. lie
places this sail against his back ana
runs his arms through the sticks SO as
to hold it. With a good wind he can
90 twenty miles an hour over smooth
ice. and he can tack and beat against
the wind. just as in sailing boat. 1t
is very exciting, but 1t requires some
daring to start in, as the rapidity OF
the skater is apt to terrify the man
who has never tried it. In skating with
the wind ones eyes water, but one can
see quite well enough to avoid holes.
There would be little chance of being
saved If you did blow in. However, II
is an easy thing to blow across a three
foot hole in going at high rate OF
speed. 1t is very exciting sport. and
very little practice is reQuired-though
It demands comparatively smooth ice
for good skating. If an obstruction Is
met your fall is pretty hard.

Midwinter in the Northwest.

And winters chilling gusts make suller
moan;
Their outstretched arms the tall pine,

A II 10 silence that deep monotone.
No clear bird-voices thrill the solemn

And save the wailing wind there Is ns

Where once the lilies in white beauty
The rotting leaves now robe the solder

Seem bony fingers pointing to the sky;
The maple-trees what q woefu

Mere skeletons that ever strive to die.

At evening watch the dark blot out th'

And greet, mayhnp, the old moon, pail
A cropping ghost half seen through fold

HISTORY OF HoRsEsHoElNo.
Antiquity of the Craft and the In
portance of Its Followers.

Antiquity of tho Craft and the Inn
portance Of Its Followers.
The recent strike of horseshoers in
London, which was happily Of short
duration, may serve to call to memory
some facts and traditions that 20 ia
prove the high antiquity Of the craft
and it's immense influence on the prog.
ress Of civilization, as far as the ser.
vices Of the horses are concerned In ad.
vancing the interests Of mankind.
Though the horseshoer is very often
If not generally, designated. "farrier."
yet this term Is misleading nowadays
II 1t ever was correct /, indicating hi,
special function.
The faber ferrarius. from which tht
term ''farrier'' Is doubtless derived,
was a worker in iron Of any kind OF
fashion. and though In the earliest
periods Of his history he shod horses
and forged various weapons and othel
articles. yet the designation Of smith"
was usually applied to him in this coun
try. and when he began to be called
farrier his vocation was more thai
Of a shoer Of horses. and later theil
physician and surgeon In addition.
The antiquity Of the horseshoer Is
states George Fleming. writing in tina
the origin of the art, which is lost in the
mist Of 1000 years. In Western Eu.
rope 1t was probably known to the
Celtic tribes at very remote time, and
1t may be that the Druid priests were
the teachers Of horseshoeing in those
days. as they were the men who were
best acquainted With the primitive art,
and sciences, q knowledge of which
they contrived to surround with a veil
Of mystery that clung to these for cen,
turtles. The horseshoer was, in the
early centuries Of our era, evidently
conaidersd q mysterious kind Of work
man. who pursued his calling in
weird-like manner In a place where no
one was allowed to enter until the steed
was shod.
It - certain that for hundreds OF
years the shoer was an important per.
sonage, as he held a high social posi-.
don and enjoyed certain special priv.
ileges in this country long before the
Norman invasion. This Is shown In
the Welsh triad of laws, which were
revised by Howell the Good in A. ID.

long before that date. In these lava

I was not present at the first interview

his hand, expressed his delight at finding
his son such a credit to his race. He
spoke most affectionately, and expressed
bitter regret that cruel misfortune
should have compelled them to remain
strangers for so long. The future should
make up for the past. His words we're
sweet and kind, but yet were invested
with a certain dignity which forbade his
