PROVED ABILITY TO REASON
HeartIess Old Baboon Leader Had
Qualities That Might Be Con-
sidered Almost Human.

Apes are so human that even when
they display traits that in man would
be simply abominable one cannot help
laughing. A correspondent in South
Africa writes that certain large apes
are so much in the habit of raiding
the coffee plantations that they have
to be guarded
Among the coffee trees grows a
shrub the fruit of which the apes
particularly enjoy. But as wasps
fasten their nests to the shrubs, the
apes, fearful of being Stung, usually
keep away from them. One morning
the people in a certain plantation
heard the apes making fearful out
cries and, rushing out, saw this
singular scene. A large baboOn, the
leader of a band, was throwing some
young apes at the wasp nests just as
boy might have thrown stones at
them.
The poor Victims stung by the in
furiated insects, were crying piteous-
ly, but the old baboon paid no heed
to them whatever While they were
suffering from the anger of the
wasps he quietly proceeded to regale
himself with the fruit, which he
could now pluck without danger. Oc-
casionally he would turn round and
graciously throw a handful to some
females and young standing a little
way off.

THREE WAYS OF EMBALMING
Methods Followed in Ancient Egypt
Differed According to the Rank
of the Deceased.

There were three different ways Of
embalming in old Egypt. The most
magnificent was bestowed only upon
persons of distinguished rank. When
a person of distinction died the body
was put into a coffin, the upper ex-
terror of which represented the de-
ceased, with suitable establishment.
The coffin itself was usually made of
sycamore wood which is said to be
almost incOrruptible Sometimes deal
was used, in which case it was brought
from abroad. The embalming of
the body occupied 40 to 20 days It
consisted mainly of the introduction
of astringent drugs and spices into
the body, amounting it with oils of
cedar, myrrh and cinnamon, and sat
urating it with inter- 1t was then
washed and wrapped in linen bands
dipped in myrrh and gum-these
bands in some instances being 1000
yards long-cOmmencing at the head
and terminating at the feet, avoiding
the face. The body was then re-
stored by the embalmers to the rela-
tiveS, who placed it in the coffin.
A less expensive method of embalm-
ing was simply to inject into the bow
els a liquid extract of cedar, and
wrapping up the body in salt and
inter; others were soaked, or as some
think, boiled in a kind of bitumen
made of mixed resinous substances.
They were then placed, without any
other covering than the bandages sat
urated with these substances in sep.
ulchres, and there deposited in rows
by thousands.

tions, namely: that of determining the
amount of money to be raised by spe-
cial levy, and the bonding of the dis
trict to pay off existing bonds. I'm
der the county unit system the bud
gets are made out by the local trus-
tees and sent to the county board.
These budgets must show that provis-
ion is being made for the education
of all children in isolated sections.
The local trustees may give school ad-
vantages to such children by furnish
ing teachers in the isolated sections,
by transportation, by renting a house
or by %furnihsing board to the children
near such school.
At the July meeting Of the county
board all budgets of the local board
are examined and from these budgets
a complete budget is made. The coun-
ty board has the power to raise the
budget of an individual district if it
seems too low to provide for an ade-
quate school term. 1t also has the
power to check off any items from
the budget which seem extravagant.
However, if such items were consid-
cred a necessity by the local boards
who wrote them into the budgets, then
the trustees of the local districts have
the right to put a levy on their own
districts above the uniform levy put
on the rural school district County
UNITY for such item as seemed extrav-
agant to the county board.
After making a complete budget the
county board certifies to the county
commissioners the amount of money
needed to maintain the schools in third
class districts of the county. The
county commissioners then put on q
uniform levy on all the third class dis
tricts of the county.
At the December meeting Of the
county board the special tax is APP
portioned to the local districts in ac.
cordance with the amount certified
in the budgets. The local trustees
issue their own warrants as before
