A BABOON SWITCHMAN.
Animal That Does the Work of a Human
Being in South Africa.

Animal That Does the Work of a Human
Being in South Africa.
South Africa boasts a baboon that
does the work of a signalman at
Uitenhage Station in the Boer coun-
try.
He has forsaken his monkey
friends for the companionship of
human beings.
Wylde, the official signalman, is the
trainer of the baboon, and so well did
he accomplish his training that he is
able to sit in his cabin while the bah
DON, chained up outside, pulls all the
levers and points.
He is guided by certain signs made
by Wylde, and is %unerring in his per-
Torrance Of duty.
When the last train goes at night
Wylde, who has lost both his legs,
fixes a trolley car on the rails and sits
upon it while the monkey pulls it
homeward.
The baboon never starts the troll
ley pulling with its collar, but grips
its chain and runs on three legs until
the trolley gets into a good swing.
He is very fond of Boer brandy and
tobacco, and never associates with
other baboons.- Philadelphia Press

TattoOing in Japan.

Several parties have recently been
arrested for violating the law against
tatooing. In Japan tatooing has
been prohibited by the government
since the introduction OF western
civilization into this country, so that
the custom is entirelyout Of datewith
the enlightened, law-abiding section
of the people. There has, however,
always been a class among the fair
sex which, regularly keeping the law
at defiance in this matter as well as
in other things, have rejoiced in dis
playing the splendid work Of great
tatooers on their bodies-work so
splendid that timid people feel their
skin creep at thinking what an
amount ofbodily painmust have been
endured while the work was being
done. --Chicago Daily News.

She was thin and weak and

GEOLOGICAL PIANO.
A Musical Instrument OF Fiints the
S~traagsst in Existence.

StraRgsst in Existence.
Sermons in stones have become
common enough since biologists
learned to interpret the secrets OF fOs-
sis. 10 awake melodies and har-
monies in pebbles and rocks would
seem a much more difficult, if not im-
possible, achievement.
1t has been accomplished, howey-
er, according to Lillustration, for
there is in existence a wonderful pi-
ano, the notes of which are given
forth by aints, arranged in regular
scale. The tones Of this geological
piano are Of remarkable quality. Mo

stones for the Magic Flute" 1.-THE
patience and skill Of the pianos ere
ator and owner, Mr.. Honore Baudre,
could be carried on to further
lengths, it is not impossible that
such an orchestra could be forthcom-
ing.
1t was the work Of years for NJ.
Baudre to make the collection of
fints which constitute his geological
piano. They are now to be seen at
an exhibition which is being held at
Brest. The stones do not belong to
the class Of resonant rocks known as
"phonolytes," such as are found in
Auvergne, not far from Mont-Dore,
but are Aints collected by NJ. Baudre
with infinite toll and research, each
giving when struck a true musical
note.
BY accident while taking country
walk one day he picked up a flint and
CHANGING to strike it heard a faint
: note respond to the blow. The idea
took hold Of him to gather, if posi-
bic, enough fints to form a complete
chromatic scale. Difficulties in the
search for such stones only increased
his ardor. For more than 30 years
S he pursued the quest, making it the
principal aim of his life to form Out

A POEM BY MRS. HOXIE

Mrs. E. M. La Penotiere president of the
state federation, at the annual breakfast Lin
coins birthday, made strong plea for the
cultivation OF the muses. and the inclusion, of
at least one original poem each year in the
program of after dinner speeches.. There was
present in her audience clever woman, one
of whose many talents is writing poetry who
had written poem which on account of its
special appropriateness it was pity had not
been included in the program. The poem, by
Mrs. Winnie Ream Hoxie of st. Paul, was
written specially for the Loyal Legion ban
quet Tuesday and was printed in the program
with a reproduction of Mrs. Hoxie's statue
of Lincoln. The poem is as follows:
Lincoln.
In times which tried the souls of men,
When our fair land was wrenched in two,
What did you not for us and ours,
Most glorious Lincoln, grand and true?
Can we forget how midst the storm,
The cyclone of an angry past,
You held aloft our sacred flag,
And set it's trembling standard fast?
And when our country, drelched in blood,
Lay, ~swooning after wars embrace, il
Y on. bade the troubled water peace"
And kept each starry gem in place?
o, Lincoln, Prophet, Hero, Friend!
You clasped the hands so long estranged,
You healed the Wounds-you broke the chains
You honored all our silent slain.
