How Indians Catch Monkeys.

In South America the Indians take a
cocoanut and cut a hole in each end
just large enough for the monkeys
paws. Then they fill the middle Of the
nut with sugar. When a monkey
comes across the shell he thrusts In
one paw and, finding sugar, he pushes
In the other. He closes both paws on
the sugar and then will not remove
either for fear he shall lose the sugar.
Then, while he cannot use either paw,
he is easily caught.

very active, absolutely fearless, and
inflict most formidable bite, it would
usually be safest to have two men 60
atone together. Peccaries are not diff
wind and their pugnacity make them
come to bay before hounds SO quickly.
Two or three good dogs can bring to
a halt herd Of considerable size.
They then all stand in a bunch, or
else with their sterns against bank,
chattering their teeth at their antag-
onists. When angry and at bay, they
get their legs close together. their
shoulders high. and their bristles all
ruff1ed and look the very incarnation
of anger, and they fight with reckless
Indifference to the very last. Hunters
usually treat them with a certain
amount of caution: but, as a matter of
fact, I know OF but one case where a
man was hurt by them. He had shot
at and wounded one, was charged
both by it and by its two companions,
and started to climb tree; but as he
drew himself from the ground, one
sprang at him and bit him through the
calf, inaicting a very severe wound.
/ have known OF several cases of
horses being cut, however, and dogs
are very commonly killed. Indeed, a
dog new to the business is almost GER
tain to get very badly SCARED. and no
dog that hunts steadily can escape
without some injury. If it runs in
right at the heads of the animals. the
probabilities are that it will get killed:
and, as a rule, even two good-sized
hounds cannot kfll a peccary, though
1T is No larger than either Of them.
However, wary, resolute. hard-biting
dog of good size speedily gets accus-
TONED to the chase, and can kill
peeeary single-handed, selling 1t from
behind and worrying it to death. or
watching its chance and grabbing it by
the back of the neck where it joins the
head.
Peccaries have deficately moulded
short legs. and their feet are small.
the tracks looking peculiarly dainty in
consequence. Hence, they do not swim
well. though they take to the water If
necessary. They feed on roots, prick
" pears, nuts, insects, lizards, etc.
They usually keep entirely separate
from the droves Of half-wild swine
that are so often found in the same
neighborhoods; but in one case, on this
very ranch where l was staying, a pee
cary deliberately joined a party Of
nine pigs and associated with them.
When the owner Of the pigs came up
to them one day the peccary mani
tested great suspicion at his presence,
and finally sided close up and threat
ened to attack him, so that he had to
shoot it.
The ranchman's son told me that
he had never but once had a pee
cary assail him unprovoked, and even
in this case it was his dog that was the
object Of attack, the peccary rushin
ont as it followed him home one eve
ing through the chaparral. Ev
around this ranch the peccaries ha
very greatly decreased in numbers, and
the survivors were learning some eau
ton. In the old days 1t had been no
uncommon thing for big band to at
tack entirely Of their own accord, and
keep hunter up tree for hours at
= time.

has been ono in which there has been
much making of financial history II
VIII go down with 1857, 1873 and 1893
as one of tho panic years in American
finance. but despite the remarkable
stress and strain to which the financial
structure has been subjected, the wear
closes with conditions stronger and
safer than they were when the year
began
The year opened with the feeling in
conservative quarters that speculation
had already been carried to an unwar-
ranted height and that prudence was
imposed by conditions upon bankers
and capitalists. That this feeling op-
Grated to some extent throughout the
year and that there was n scarcity Of
capital for absorbing new securities
was indicated Ivy the diminished trans
actions In stocks and bonds on the New
York stock exchange. The number Of
shares dealt in in 1907 fell to 1875 169-
1a2. Bonds sales were s5G1 ,G51 500.
THE number Of stocks dealt in in 1906
was 2SS,42423i and the bond sales for
1906 were 500. .333

GREAT INCREASE IN EXPORTS AND
CURRENCY

Accompanying the increase Of bank
note circulation in order to meet the
prcssue for currency was the dramatic
movement Of nearly s1o6.00OO00 in
gold from Europe within a period Of
about six weeks. This inward move
mcnt of gold was facilitated by the
sharp arrest of imports of luxuries
and n combined effort by producers
railways and bankers to ship prompt
lY to Europe our farm products of the
autumn season. Imports of merchan-
disc. which had been sl25.SO6.O43 in
August fell to s11O.Sos.109 for Novem-
her. Exports which had been s127,-
