The Prince of Wales cannot be sued
personally for debt. If the debt is not
paid the creditor may take out sum-
mons, but he must summon the treas
urer, not the prince If the case goes
against the treasurer the money is paid
out Of the princes assets.
No child of the king who Is under
twenty-five can marry without the
kings consent. Surprising, however, d
prince over twenty-five desired to marry
and the king refused his consent, then
the prince could give notice of his in
tention to the privy council. After that
he would have to Restrain his patience
for Il whole year. II during that time
either the house of lords or the house
OF commons disapproved of the mar
riage it could not take place. But II

In this way the monkeys are conccn-

Is strewn on the ground near this
drinking place, and after the monkeys
have grown partial to that spot an
enormous cage, similar to the matched
huts used by the native Sudanese, is
carried to it in the dead of night. One
side Of the cage is propped mp on Il
stake.
The daily allowance of corn is then
strewn inside the cage. This is re-

monkeys have no hesitation in enter

cord is attached to the stake. The
cord is covered with the desert sand

hunters. Presently n troop of monkeys
appears, confidently enters the cage
and begins to eat the corn there. The
hunters then pull the cord, the stake
falls, and the monkeys are prisoners.
Natives force them to the ground by
means of long sticks. enter the cage
and bind the prisoners ana then take
them to the place OF shipment. There

the mere act of making the monkeys
