A BABOON HERO.
An a Monkey
In Africa.
The German naturalist, Herr
tells this story of his ad-
venture with baboons in
dogs, beautiful, slender
greyhounds, accustomed to fight
successfully with hyenas and other
beasts of prey, rushed toward the
baboons, which from a distance
looked more like beasts of prey than
like monkeys, and drove them
up the precipices to right and
left. But only the females took
flight. The males turned to face
the growled, beat the ground
with their hands, opened their
mouths wide, showed their glitter-
teeth and looked at their ad-
so furiously and malicious-
that the hounds, battle hardened
and usually bold, shrank back dis-
and almost timidly sought
safety beside us.
we had succeeded in stir-
ring them up to show tight the
of the monkeys had changed
considerably, and when the dogs
charged a second time nearly all the
herd were in safety.
one little monkey, about
half a year old. had been left be-
hind. It shrieked loudly as the dogs
rushed toward it, but succeeded in
gaining the top of a rock before
they had arrived. Our dogs placed
themselves cleverly, so as to cut off
its retreat, and then we thought
that they would catch it.
was not to be. Proudly
and with dignity, without hurrying
in the least or paying any heed to
us, an old male stepped down from
the security of the rocks toward the
hard pressed little one, walked to-
ward the dogs without betraying the
slightest fear, held them in check
with glances, gestures and sounds
that seemed almost like intelligible
speech, slowly climbed the rock,
picked up the baby monkey and re-
treated with it before we could
reach the spot and without the
slightest attempt to prevent him on
the part of the dogs.
the patriarch of the troop
this brave and unselfish
the other members, densely
crowded on the uttered sounds
which I had never before heard from
baboons. Old and young, males and
females, roared, screeched, marled
and bellowed all together, so that
would have thought that they
were struggling with leopards or
other dangerous beasts.
learned later that this was the
battle cry. It was intend-
ed to intimidate us and the dogs;
possibly also to encourage the brave
old giant who was running into such
evident danger before their
Youth's Companion.
Acid, and Water.
Acids have a strong affinity for
water, which they will even extract
from any substance containing it
with they are brought in con-
tact ; hence when an id comes in
contact with the mucous membrane
of the mouth and throat the watery
secretion which keeps these parts
moist and flexible is so far absorbed
as to give rise to that dry, harsh and
stringent sensation which is com-
spoken of as the
mouth, and so as a result a copious
supply of fresh saliva is produced.
Mineral acids, by their chemical
action, not only draw the mouth
and set the teeth on edge as they
are taken, but also injure the
el of the unless the
is taken to sink them in
through a glass tube or quill.

A Strange Threat
Policy holders in one of the
life insurance companies are
receiving with their notices of
due a little pamphlet sighed by
the president, which he warns
that any insurance that
may be passed and any statement
may lie uttered reflecting against
the management or of the
company will affect the interest of
every policy holder
Evidently he is perfectly serious
about it. but in view of the unsavory
secrets which he and the other
of have been
compelled to before the in-
committee in New York,
his suggestion that the policy balder
lie still and let the go on
unchecked is rather curious.
To those who pay his a
year salary and furnish him with
campaign contributions, lobby funds
and other little luxuries, be imputes
such a low order of intelligence that
after going on the stand and admit
ting that he has been deceiving them
for years, he coolly addresses to
them the threat that if they don't
keep quiet they may be hurt worse
than they have been.
If there is anybody who wants the
companies reformed, it is the policy
holders. They are the investors,
the owners. They are the ones whose
welfare and the welfare of whose
wives and children depend upon the
wisdom and economy with which the
affairs of the companies are
They know, as well as the
dent knows, that there will have to
be a tooth pulling in the companies,
and that it is going to hurt all over;
but they also know that they will be
vastly better off when the tooth is
