Trappino Baboons.

into the huts. and once the babeons 80

Outside baboons make great to do
and urge the prisoners to escape.
When the traprers come the captured
balloons are terror stricken and try to
force their heads through the walls OF
the huts. One baboon was caught
three times in the same trap. ard scv
eral when turned loose got back into
the same trap a second time When
the baboons are carried away all their

Mutual satisfaction resulted from
the agreement. Schulenberg's patrons
now knew what the food they ate was

puzzled them. And Sarah had food

the main thing with her.

Alud;erous Experiment,

Holmes was one of the many emi-
nent men who have attempted to solve
the riddle of the universe. In his case
the result was ludicrous. From the
sublime thoughts that came to him
while under the influence Of chloro-
form he thought he might arrive mt
some solution. Placing himself in his
armchair, with pen, ink and paper at
hand. he inhaled the anaesthetic. AS
drowsiness stole over him the nature
Of things seemed revealed. BY Wig
orous effort he seized his pen and
wrote-he knew not what. for before
he had finished he fell back uncon-
scious When he recovered he turned
with trembling anxiety to the sheet OF
paper, OF which. written in arawling
characters, but quite legible, he found

Old Time 0uackery.

The eighteenth century was the gold
en- harvest time OF the quack, against
whom some Of the fercest shafts OF
Hogarth's satire were directed. The
uuack loved to surround himself with
an atmosphere Of mystery, which was
calculated to impose upon the creduli-
ty Of his victims. His room was be-
decked with skulls and skeletons. A
brisk trade in quackery was carried
on by women. J. G. Wright In his
book. ''The Good Old Times" records
the fact that in the year 1850 "A Mrs.
Joanna Stephens was awarded $1,000
by the English government for
