every soul. A strange desire for the
of forest, for an hour
of silence with only the wrestling

that visit it. for company There's
no panacea that will put to flight
chronic ennui so soon as a season of
silent communion nature. There
is something radically wrong with
the person who can't enjoy a silent

Most of the monkeys that travel
with shows and organ grinders come
from the isthmus of Panama. These
animals are captured by the natives
in rather a way. They take
a and cut a hole in it large
enough to admit a monkey's paw.
A string is then attached to the nut.
The monkey is a very inquisitive
little and when he sees one
of these nuts he inserts his paw
through the hole to find out what is
inside. When the paw is closed it
cannot be withdrawn, and as the
monkey has not sense enough to
open his paw the nut is dragged by
the string the monkey with it
to within reach of the captors, who
throw a net over the monkey and
in that secure him.

To what extremes physical de-

with certain fashions or as the
fulfillment of ascetic vows, can be
carried is explained by Dr. I.
of Germany in his anatomical
entitled He
demonstrates that in all lands
forms of malpractice have been
indulged in. In old Peru, for in-
stance, little children were placed
under a bead press and their scalp
were shaped oblong. This was
the case with the daughters of
the nobles and with the members of
the royal families. The climax is
reached, however, in the case of the
Chinese ascetic who is set apart as
a holy man to serve in the joss
house, who does not perform any
manual labor and permits his finger
nails, with the exception of those on
his index finger, to grow several
inches long. Finally they become
entangled and resemble somewhat
the claws of an old bird.

Tattooing.
It is quite common in and
Samoa for a man to bear upon his
arm or body a certificate of his birth
winch is practically indelible. Tat-
is carried on in these islands
to an absurd extent, and it is the
practice to tattoo on the hand of a
mother the date of her children's
births. Sometimes an enthusiastic
father will tattoo the date of the
birth on the child itself, and no
how lung it lives the certificate
will remain easily decipherable. In
some adjoining islands every child
is tattooed almost from head to foot
on its completing its twelfth year.
The result is very remarkable,
if the child is growing rapidly,
so that the spaces between the tat-
too murks increase in size year by
year.

Strange Farm.
Perhaps the most extraordinary
reptile farm that was ever instituted
was one which existed for a time in
Bengal. The government, wishing
to keep down the breed of that dead-
snake, the cobra, offered a reward
for every dead cobra which should
be brought in to a police station.
The wily saw an opportunity
of making money. Therefore a small
syndicate was formed and a nursery
for cobras was established.
