CAPTURING MONKEYS.
Negro Takes Advantage Of
JOcko's Appetite.

Once, while was a cabin boy on a
merchant ship, we stopped for several
days at Rio Janeiro, which gave me a
splendid chance to look around that
very interesting South American city.
But, being true American boy, l
didn't think anything there was as
good as my home in New York. ex-
cept the monkeys and the parrots.
About a dozen peddlers swarmed
about the wharfs selling monkeys and
parrots to the many travellers who
came and went from that port. They
had so many young monkeys and sold
them SO cheaply Il paid rs cents for
a little monkey and five cents for a
young parrot) that my curiosity made
me ask: do they raise them?"
which question greatly amused a
dark-skinned old Brazilian who spoke
very good English. He then told me
how these people got the immense
number of monkeys they brought to
the wharfs.
The natives make fermented liquid,
one of the ingredients of which is
sour milk from cocoanuts. of which
the monkeys are very fond. They
take this beer to parts of the forest
frequented by monkeys and set it on
the ground in big calabashes. as the
vessels are called, and then hide. AS
soon as the monkey sees and tastes
this enticing liquid he utters loud
cries of joy, calling his companions.
Then they begin q ''jamboree," the
