The well-known habit of monkeys to
initiate the actions of man is ~cleverly
utilized by wild-animal catchers in TAX
ing the agile, climbing creatures cap

about for some time within sight of

Then the boots are taken off and gum
is placed in their bottoms, after which
the men withdraw from the scene. Be

they discover that the footwear cannot

: In connection with experiments in
the drying of squid as an article Of
food, the United States bureau of fish
cries has made several determinations
Of the water, nitrogen, ash and fat, and
ascertained the time of artificial diges-
ton. Squid meat consists of about II
per cent water. OF the solids, about
s per cent is fat, TN per cent ash and
81 per cent protein. The last figure is
exceptionally high. Squid meat di-
gests more slowly than herring, mack

Mexicans as Travellers.

The Mexicans of the poorer classes
are great travellers. In American
states, like New Mexico and Arizona
they are to be found in the day coaches
In numbers out Of all proportion to
their part of total population, and they
are similarly inclined to railway jour-
neys in their own land. They are a
restless people with little thought for
the morrow, writes a correspondent,
and when they get a little money
through some stroke of fortune, they
are as likely to spend it on railway
fares to some neighboring city as any
thing else. A Mexican family boards
the train with it's belongings tied up in
raricolored bundles. The old days of
overland travel, not SO very far away
still show their influence in the way
the bundles are tied and roped, with
bitches fit for the pack saddle. Food
is always carried along, and the cars
are soon full of the odor of it, mingled
with cigarette smoke. There Is not
much talk; the lower class Mexican
has too much Indian blood in his veins
to be loquacious. Men, women and
children sit in stolid silence, except
for an occasional outburst of shrill
scolding descending on the head of
some child, or a bit of violent bargain

RECRUIT HAD OWN METHOD
Showed He Could DO Some Shooting
When Sergeant Let Him Do 1t
as He Wanted.

Among q batch of recruits sent up
from the recruiting office was a tall:
lanky, tow-headed East Tennesseean,
He took to the training all right
enough until the company went to the
target range for rife practice.
The sergeant in charge of the prac-
tice showed the recruits the regulation
position for fring-left elbow resting
against the side and all that. But to
his disappointment the Tennesseean
could not hit the target at a range of
100 yards. Finally in disgust the SER
geant blurted out:
"Say, Jim, I thought you told me
you used to go out in the mornings
and shoot the head off a squirrel for
your breakfast, and now you can't even
hit that target"
To which came the drawing re-
Spouse: "Wal, sergeant, we all do do
that, an If you'll let me shoot the way
I'm used to 1 can knock all hi outen
that target"
The amused sergeant agreed and the
ictl III pIONccucu W SpIcdu Ills legs
wide apart, extended his left arm to
its full length-grasping the rifle near
the muzzle-and put ten shots through
the center of the bulls eye.
"Jim's performance with the rifle
was spectacular" added the narrator,
"and put an abrupt end to the SER
geant's efforts to teach him how to
shoot. In after years he carried off
the highest shooting honors three
years In succession-won the Buffalo
medal"

Just as we came to the conclusion
that there would be no new departure
in styles for the midwinter coat, the
trench coat" breezed in and made IN
instantaneous success with the young
err set. Its name bespoke an interest
In it and the coat repays this interest.
1t is only in details of finishing that
it differs from many other of the win
ter's successful models. 1t is the sort
of comfortable, practical affair that
commends itself for general wear, TO
the active young oma who goes
everywhere. But it has a style of its
W with a snappy military flavor.
Even though it reaches to the shoe
tops, the trench coat contrives to be
trim looking with its wide fiat box
plait down the front. The belt, of the
material, slips through upturned flaps
at each side, which are fastened down
with big bone buttons. The deep cuffs,
that are of uneven width, overlap at
the edges and an important button
stands guard on each of these. The
collar Is of the smuggling variety that
has won the devotion of the fashion
able. 1t Is immensely becoming and
comfortable. This garment may be de-
veloped in any Of the plain, soft coat
ings that have made this a most sue
cessful coat season.

Hands and Feet.

At a busy crossing in Edinburgh a

on point duty In order to allow the

The cabman began to proceed, al

presents itself in the picture. It also
has several interesting points to be
considered with yoke and sleeves cut
in one, double collar and huge but
tons. The collar of cloth amounts to a
small cape and the collar of fur is
planned so that it may be brought up
about the throat and chin in the ap-
proved manne when it's wearer de-
cides to cuddle down into it. The deep
cuffs and belt are of cloth like the
coat, the latter fastened with two of
the large buttons, making assurance
doubly sure. These two very sensible
models probably finish the story of
coats for this winter-in a season of
excellent styles they play a creditable
part.
