and womanhood.
Her devoted adopted daughter, Miss
Flora A. sherman, was the daughter of
clergyman and his wife who were in
innate friends, and she was taken from
her dying mothers arms when babe
and given to Mrs. Sherman.
To her own brothers and sisters who
were younger, she has ever been a
faithful friend and counsellor, filling in
part the place Of the mother, who long
ago laid down to sleep using her bur-
dens for pillow.
Only as time goes on can those who
were dear to her, and to whom she was
so dear, realize their loss. The va
cant chair, the familiar places bereft of
her gracious presence, are mute re-
minders of the invisible Presence
which leads away our loved ones.
AS Easter was to her the sign and
symbol of her risen Lord, so to her it
became reality, and on that glad
morning she joined the loved ones gone
before, and the flowers that surrounded
her:
Spoke of sweet immortal bloom
Across the silent mystic sea,
OF hope beyond the darkened tomb
OF resurrection sure and free.
So in our hearts may flowers be born
And blossoms sweet, and lilies tall,
So may our souls some Easter morn
Unfold to meet the Masters call.

MONKEYS OF ABYSSINlA.
Large Numbers Frequent the Hills
and Move About in Or
ganized Bands.

Very similar reports are made from
different parts of North Africa in re-
regard to the monkey tribes that oc-
| cupy that continent from Morocco u
! Abyssinia. Just how far tribal rela-
tions may have tended to vary the
! species is a question quite as impor-
tant as that of language. to which
Prof. Garner has given so much study.
Some points OF interest arc found il
an English book, "A Visit to Abys-
sinia."
Il have mentioned that large num-
bers of monkeys frequent these hills.
They move about in organized bands,
and their proceedings are arranged in
the most orderly and tactical manner
They are difficult to approach, unless
il is gradually and cautiously done.

getting within few yards of them
when they we're crossing the path
of me. about 50 in single file following
their leader. and looking with their
names like small lions.
Their movements arc full of inter
est. and well repay observation; they
have chiefs. sentries. and advanced
and rear guards on the march. Tho
mothers carry their children on their
backs exactly like the larger human
creatures in these countries. They talk
and chatter. the females being espe-
cially lOquacious. quarrelsome and
combative. These are clearly under
the command OF the elder males. whose
gesture alone is sufficient to reduce
them TO obedience. They live in small
caverns among the hills, but will mos.
certainly avoid direct return to their
haunts If followed. They are less
timid of men when these are mount
ed on eamels than when on foot, ex-
perience having doubtless taught them
that the former is usually travelling
to a destination, and that his steady.
Jogging pace is rarely interrupted By
his curiosity
"On one occasion | saw a whole
family tribe on the road home after
a foraging excursion, and successfully
tempted some Of the younger ones to
leave their ranks by quietly rollins
