I Utaahable Tactles Employe* by the r Natives to Disperse the Belll*ereat Paeke—Little Chai.ee For Mol* Mm [ keya at Birth. ’ Monkeys in India are an unmitigated ’ nuisance, especially in the country. I have of tea come arrow in the jungles , adjoining the villages of northern Ben gal whole troops of them, whose depre- * dations in fields and orchards were the despair of the unfortunate villagers. These troops always consisted of one rbugs male and about 100 female* The I fact is, when a little monkey is born in the pack, it is suffered to live if a fe male, but instantly killed by the father if it happens to be a male. The mother, however, sometimes manages to hide the little one until he is able to get about and then sends him away before the big male catches sight of him. In thia way it often happens that indi vidual males are to be found living by themselves in single blessedness. Now, getting tired of solitude after a time and perhaps believing in union as a source of strength, these bachelors often join together and form a pack of their own—as a sort of club. Then the fun begins. They want wives—very naturally. But how are they to get them? All the female monkeys of the country belong to the harem of some big brute or other. Clearly, the only solution is to attack such a harem, kill the gotha (the afore said big brute), and then divide the spoils. So an ultimatum is sent—and rejected. War is declared. The battle is a fierce one and often lasts several days. The party attacked always tries to retreat and often traverses several jungles, fields and even villages. But the purspit is hot and vigorous, and at last a stand has to be made—sometimes in a village green or even an orchard of some country mansion. In the actual fight the females generally remain faithful to their lord and master and help him fiercely against his numerous assailants. But the result is a foregone conclusion, and the several widows, after a very short period of mourning— usually manifested by a show of ill temper—are consoled by the victorious males. Now, these battles cause sad havoc to the fields and orchards of the country and often prove a positive danger to the people, for, though monkeys seldom at- i tack men, woe to the luckless one who ventures to come near them in their deadly struggle. Moreover, when pressed by hunger, these packs are not to be trifled with. You may not mind even the damage don* to your orchard by hundreds of monkeys gobbling up every thing they can lay their hands on, .but it is quite a different matter when you have to shut your doors and windows and stay in for days ata time because es the army outside. Consequently the object of the natives is to break np these packs by capturing their leaders. Killing is against the dic tates of conscience, but capture is not, especially as. the monkey is liberated in a short time, as will appear presently. So, when a pack is about, the natives em ploy the following method: Close to an orchard a bit of level space is selected and a hole dug in it, about 2 feet deep and 6or 8 inches in diameter. A noose is made at one end of a long, stout cord and placed over the mouth of the hole. The cord is then passed through a pulley or ring attached to a tree close to the house and the other end held some dis tance away by a concealed person. The noose and about 10 or 15 feet of the cord are covered with sand. Then a nice, tempt: ng banana is placed in the hole, and a number of rotten ones—covered, however, with fresh skins—are strewn all over the ground near the hole. When the pack comes, the females are too shy to venture out into the open spaco near the house, but the big gotha is a brave fellow. He sees the bananas on the ground, leaps down, takesup one, throws it away in disgust, then another, with the same result. Suddenly he no tices the nice, tempting one in the hole, and plunges his arm in. Immediately the cord is pulled, the noose fastened on the arm close to the shoulder and the monkey dragged willy nilly to the tree where the pulley or ring is attached. Then the hiding shikari comes forth, and, circling round and round the tree with the cord held tight in his hand, binds the unfortunate monkey safe and fast, all but the head. The pulley or ring is introduced not merely to bind the monkey to the tree, but also because it would be highly dangerous to drag the infuriated brute right up to a per son. The monkey, however, is not killed. Instead they lather his head and face, no special care being taken in selecting the finest soap or the purest water. The operation is an interesting one and a source of great amusement—to the by standers. The monkey, however, dodges his head about, only to get a good dose of soap in his eyes and mouth. Then he has enough of it, especially as he feels dreadfully achy all over and the cords cutting into his .body every inch—to say nothing of the personal remarks and the highly adjectival language of the bystanders. He submits to his fate with eastern atoicism. His head is shaved clean as a billiard ball, and then the face as well, nice and smooth, like a baby’s. Then they let him go. But alas, such is the vanity of life, his wives will not have him now that his beauty is gone. They disown him completely, cut him dead. Nay, they drive him away from the pack with contumely, with the ends of their tails—in the ab sence of domestic broomsticks. And thus, being without a leader, the pack is soon broken up.—Strand Magazine.

It ia always with a vague regret tint we read the sagas, and are thrilled by the viking’s exploits. It seems as if the deeds of daring had gone by forever, and as if the heroes of the deep were a myth of the past Absorbed in the Norse romance, w« forget that the vik ings were only pirates, and that they dared for slaughter and for booty. If the Gloucester of today had only existed then, what heroic saga would it not have inspired! For to risk life for glory or riches or rescue or love is in the heart of every man to do, but to risk life for a bare existence, for other peo ple’s profit and for an anonymous end partakes of that commonplace sublimity which does not form the favorite plot of poets, although once in awhile it is the subject of a daily paragraph. For the vikings are not dead. From Portland to New Orleans, our harbors are full of them. They lounge upon our wharfs, and we do not recognize them. They loiter on our streets, and we know them not But if there is a more mod est, unconscious, or braver fellow than Jack the Fisherman, our eyes have yet to rest upon his face. He is the hardiest and most daring, the best sailor in the world today. Any continental kingdom would give its wealth to possess him for its defense. He is the envy of every maritime nation. Has he no value for us, beyond the halibut and the cod, the haddock and the cask?—Herbert D. Ward in Century. The glebut of the Bowie Kalfe. To the publio mind duels were really a necessity. The man who would not fight "at the drop of a hat and drop it himself,’* was soon made to feel that he had very much better not have been born. There were progressive duels, too, from which the popular mind no more revolted than it does In this era from progressive whist or etichre. It was one of them which gave Bowie and his knife to fame. In sonte way there had come to be bad blood, wack and bitter, between him and a Sartain Colonel Norris Wright After nng bickering, it was agreed to meet upon the levee opposite Natchez, Mis*,ea*h with half a dozen friends, duly armed, and there shoot the matter out There were a doz en on each side when it came to fight ing. The battle was arranged to begin with threes, the rest standing by, and coming in only when those of the first fight were dead or disabled. But they had miscalculated their own self con trol. After the first fire there was a general melee—the reserves to a man gripped pistols- hard, drew knife belts to a handy clutch and went into the combat to do or-die.—Martha McCul loch-Williams in Harper’s Magazine.

It is doubtful if any office 4n the navy, aside from an absolute command, involves so vast a responsibility as that of navigator of a man-of-war. The du ties of this important station in former yean fell to officers of the rank of mas ter, but with the abolition of that grade its affaire devolved upon the lieutenants holding the highest num bers on the list Upon the navigator of a warship depends the task of shaping the vessel s wirarae for any point across the seas to which her des tinies may direct her, but also the re sponsibility of piloting her in and out of harbor and of selecting a safeunchor age for her in every port visited during the period of her cruise. Hence, it fol lows that, combined with a thorough nautioal training, the competent navi gator must be possessed of a vast fund of geographical, meteorological and hy drographical knowledge. While at les, he must know the vessel’s position to a degree, which necessitates his taking frequent observations of the celestial bodies and making solutions of intricate problems in geometry and trigonometry, such as constantly arise through devia tions, brought about by innumerable causes, from her given course. Unquestionably the most important element in -navigation, because of its infallibility under ordinary condition*, in determining the latitude, longitude and error in the ship’s compass, ia what is known ,in maritime phraseology aa "nautical astronomy. ” With the aid of a sextant or quadrant for measuring the altitude of the heavenly bodies above the horizon or their distance from each other, a timepiece to mark the Instant of an observation, a chronometer to show the time at the first meridian, a nautioal almanac and an azimuth oom pass, the navigator can readily deter mine his position with the utmost ex actitude. The average voyage is more or less characterized by erroneous estimates in distances sailed, in varying currents, careless steering, deviation in the oom pass and numerous other obstacles, and upon the navigator rests the responsi bility of adjusting such errors. In long passages across the open aea the navi gator is governed by a rather complex combination of motives, which may be summed up as follows: To cover the re quired distance in the shortest space of time with the smallest expenditure of fuel and the least wear and tear of the vessel that is possible. With these objects In view the navi gator must prior to sailing superintend personally the stowing of the hold, th* arrangement of ballast, water, provi sions, stores, etc., and the inspection and adjustment of the motive appliances of the ship, all of Which features, sever ally and collectively, greatly affect her speed and seaworthiness. If his vessel possesses the facilities for making sail, he must while at sea exercise the keenest judgment and fore sight as to utilizing the same, for sail used to good advantage is a groat saver of coal, while otherwise, if used indis criminately, it mag entail much loss of time. The expert navigator draws the line with exceeding fineness between a high fair wind and a gale, making the most of the former as long as his vessel is not jeopardized, heaving her to at just the proper period and getting under way again at the first sign of moderation in the weather. The commander of a warehip reposes the utmost confidence in a skilled and careful navigator and rarely interferes with his plans. Anoth er of the numerous details coming under the navigator’s supervision is the keep ing of the ship's log. This iscommenoed by him at the time the Vessel is placed in commission, and its pages record the events of each succeeding day. There is absolutely nothing which transpires of ficially on board of a man-of-war that is not written in the log, and each day the navigator must carry it to the com manding officer for his inspection. At the expiration of every six months the ship’s log must be closed and forwarded to the navy department at Washington, where if is placed among the records. The navigator is provided with a large and yaried assortment of instru ments and appliances designed to facili tate his wbrk. While in port he is often detailed to make surveys of portions of the ooast line which may be defective upon the charts or to determine the ex act location of rocks or shoals which hitherto have not been marked with sufficient accuracy. The navigator has charge of all th* various weather indicators of the vessel and must render quarterly reports of all meteorological observation* These are taken at regular intervals by th* quartarmaster of the watch and fully entered upon the ship’s log. The navi gator must regularly inspect the steer ing gear, compasses, anchor* and chain cables of the ship and daily report their condition to the commanding officer. He must also keep a separate bookin which are recorded all calculations re lating to the navigation of the vessel and in which no erasures are permitted to be made. At the expiration of th* cruise this book is forwarded to tha bureau of navigation. The duties of a navigating officer are more than sufficient to fully occupy his time, but, notwithstanding this fact, he frequently stands his watch at sea. While in port he is ex officio the execu tive officer during the latter’s sbsanee from tfje vessel.
