MONKEY MEAT NOT BAD.

Former Philippine officer Says 1t L.
Quite Delicscy.
81 see: q great hullabaloo is made
over the sad plight of the Fourteenth
cavalry scouts who were obliged to
subsist for nineteen days on monkey
meat while out In the Moro country"
said an army officer at the war depart
ment, according to a Washington dis
patch to the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"Why, do you know that monkey
steak when properly cooked is one Of
the most succulent of dishes? I have
tasted it myself while out in the Phil
ippines. And I know whereof I speak
when 1 say it is not great deprivation
to have to substitute that kind of meat
for the soldiers regular menu.
"How does it taste? Well, of course
1t all depends on the size and age Of
the monkey obtained for the repast.
The age is most important. Some Of
those Philippine apes are reputed to be
antediiuvians, and piece of brOiled
century old monkey is, Of course, not
quite as tender as spring lamb, for in
stance.
However, have no DOUBT the chefs
In those scouting parties Of the Four
teenth knew quite we'll how to select
their game and never cooked anything
but the young ones. The meat Of
young monkey, I should say, tastes
very much like that of rabbit
1.-THE best steak is taken from the
launches. When done to crisp before
an open fire with the proper amount Of
salt, it is quite delicacy.
after all, most of the natural preju-
dice which we have against eating
monkey meat is the fact that the beasts
look so much like man. One feels al
most like cannibal when he knows
that the meat which Is served up to
him is that of such a human looking
brute as the Philippine monkey.
II am told that the natives in the
Philippine Islands have sort of super
stitious awe of the monkey tribe. For
that reason they don't like to kill them.
The Moros, many Of whom are canni-
balls, are not SO particular and regard
a monkey steak as very choice NOR

DR.. OSL-ER,S ADVICE.


old Age Th.orist Says Professors
Should Have More Time to Think.
DR.. William Osler Of Baltimore, who
Is to be regius professor at Oxford uni
versity, speaking at the annual dinner
Of the McGill University Alumni asSo-
citation at the Hotel Imperial in New
York the other night, recalled the time
when he held his first professorship in
the Montreal Medical college, says the
New York Herald. He told about go
ing to McGill in 1870, where he was
when he was twenty-four years old.
For what l have accomplished in
medicine" said DR.. Osler, II have to
thank the old Montreal General hos
pital, with its unclean wards. Some Of
the best work of the world is done
amid the poorest surroundings. McGill
has improved since those days, and the
Royal Victoria hospital, which now af-
fords clinical facilities, is one of the
finest hospitals on this continent.
I'm this country we are inclined to
work our professors too hard. They
do not have time to think. 1t is bet
ter plan to follow the German method
and that followed in some English uni
versities and give the professors time
to think
Dr. Osler said that one trouble with
McGill and other Canadian colleges is
that their graduates all come to the
United States.
"Why don't some Of you stay at
home?" said he. "Why all this talk
about annexation Of Canada when we
are annexing so much in this country?
Above all things, stop bringing Cana
dian girls over here. I am told that
there are towns in Canada without a
manageable girl in them. The birth
rate of the province of Ontario has pro-
gressively decreased for years"
How about QuebecY' asked one of
the diners.
Quebec is different" said DR.. Osler.
''You couldn't diminish the birth rate
there if you wanted to-"
Dr. II. n. Vinepurg, president of the
New York McGill Alumni society, pre-
sided.
A farewell ode to DR.. Osler was sung
by his classmates, ending with these
lines:
AT duty's call you leave US
To be an Oxford don;
IT'S honor to us ALL Will,
To see our boy ''get on"
No maiden is more modest,
And we love you for that, too,
Knowing all your great achievement
And your heart so stanch and true;
But we know you'll fight for right there,
So when the time shall come,
Though, Willie, we shall miss you,
Well welcome you home!

The Real ShfIlaIaln.

The shillalah, accounted Ireland's ma
donal weapon of defense, was original
~ common blackthorn stick, but in
modern times it has been replaced by
the more wiry ash sapling. The real
shillalah is young shoot of the sloe
shrub or blackthorn pulled by the root
from the crevice of some rock. After
being trimmed it is placed in the smoke
of turf peat which softens the hard
fiber, and when it has reached a con.
dition as plant as rubber it is straight
ened. When cooled in the air it be-
comes as strong and firm as IRON The
trimming process is then continued.

Pasteboard Boxes For strawberrie,

John Koopman, strawberry grower
OF two miles west Of Carthage, Mo-,
has received 10000 parafined paste
board strawberry boxes, which he will
use for his crop this year instead Of
the usual wooden boxes, says the Kan

are cheaper, tougher and will not alb

They thus look heater than the ordi-

TAKING USELESS RISKS.
The Folly Of Leaving Farm Machin.
cry and Tools by the
Roadside.

s Just why 8 farmer should be con-
tent to take unnecessary risks in leav-
ing farm tools and other implements
by the roadside for passing teams to
take fright at Is one of the things that
many people cannot understand. While
1t is true that man figures into his
holding every foot to the middle~o Of the
road, and controls the sides OF the
highways. 1t is, also, fact that IL an
implement is left by the roadside, and
Q passing team becomes frightened
end runs away, the offending farmer is
liable for damages. More than this, IL
the matter is carried to a court of law.
and the defendant is found to have
been negligent, goodly retribution may
be exacted.
During the summer months 1t is q
great temptation for some farmers to
leave implements used in neighboring
fields by the roadside. There Is always
some trouble, and the wonder is that
there is not more trouble than there
really is.
II there is any one thing that q
farmer should avoid, says the Prairie
Farmer, 1t is damage suit, or q law
suit of any kind, for that matter. An
ounce of preventive is worth pound
of cure, and in the end it is good
deal less expensive.

than novadays..s Before trepanning
surgeons must have known Of other
operations, the t1aoes Of which have

skill than certain openings in skulls
