PROVED ABILITY TO REASON '
Heartiess Oid Baboon Leader md!
! Qualities That Might Be Con
-1 sidered Almost Human.
' Apes are 0 human that even when
they display traits that in man would 1
be simply abominable one cannot help
laughing. A correspondent in South
Africa writes that certaln large upes
are 80 much in the habit of ralding
the coffee plantations that they have
to be guarded,
Among the coffee trees grows #
shrub the fruit of which the apes
particularly enjoy. But as wasps
fasten thelr nests to the shrubs, the
apes, fearful of being stung, usually
keep away from them. One morning
the people In a certaln 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
turiated insects, were crylng plteous
-Iy, 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 frult, 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,
WED ONLY CLOSE RELATIONS
Custom of Burmese Tribe Leads to
| Marrlages Between Extreme Old
‘ Age and Youth. |
’ i ‘
| The only occasions on which lads
and lassies of the Red Karen tribe In
‘Burma meet are at marrlage feasts
and at wakes, according to the Na
tional Geographic Magazine, These
festivals last over three nights, and
are veritable orgles, with great ex
cess of eating and drinking. Both
sexer are well-seasoned vessels, since
they begin drinking strong drink be
fore they are weaned. Marriages are
limited to near relations and result
quite often in unions where husband
‘and wife are of very unequal age, the
‘husband fifteen, the wife seventy, or
the other way about.
Punishment for marriage out of the
clansg was formerly very severe. A large
hole was dug in the ground and a
Jog placed across it, to which two
ropes were attached. The ends of
these were noosed round the necks
of the offending pair. They were
made to jump Into the pit, and so hang
‘themselves.
Now they are excommunicated in
stead, and never allowed to enter a
Karen village again. The two vil
lages of Kara in the Nan-kwo circle
are sald to be Inhabited entirely by
such eloping couples,
Eyes That Always Stare.
~ Continental Kurope boasts of an
owl of such stature and habit that it
bhas been named the eagle-owl. The
bird has an eye llke an eagle and a
look like an owl. The owl look is em
phasized by the fact that the eyes of
this natural fleld-pest destroyer have
pever been known to move during
life. They cannot be moved after
death,
The immovable eyeball of this glant
owl has cansed two German anatomists
to examine the musculature of the
organ with a view toward ascertaln.
ing the why of the steady scrutiny.
But the vacant stare of the wise old
owl still remains a secret except to
the sophisticated bird. The anatomlsts
found the usual slx muscles that con
trol the movements of the eyes of ani
mals. The surmise is that from con
tinned staring and resulting non-use
the muscles have become functionless.
The three pairs of muscles of the
eagle-owl's eye, all In balance and
fmmovable, suggest a locomotive's
driving wheel on dead center.
Gold Teeth as Ornaments.
In a village street (China) sat a

600 D ROADS
MEAN BETTER
MARKETS
Georgians are beginning to realllot
that one of the surest ways to bring a
return of prosperity to this state is to I
establish the system of good roads laid i
out by the State Highway Department, |
which will assure them better market
ing facilitics for their diversified crops.
So long as bad roads make the near
est market a day’s journey away, our
farmers will be slaves to the one crop |
system. With good roads, good mar- |
kets will be brought within a few houra |
of every farmer and will enable him to k
produce and market crops that will |
bring him money all the year round, |
and free him from the credit system |
which impoverishes hinm. ;
Georgia can only hope to quit paying :
tribute to the north and west when she I
wakes up, as those sections have done, I
0 the value of good rcads and good |
schools to the rural community. Mil'i
lions of dollars go out of this state
each year to purchase food stuffs that ;
can be grown right here in super-abun- |
dance, but our farmers lack the incen |
tive for producing these crops becausel
marketing conditions in the past have
been so poor. Good roads will change |
all this and keep at home the money

ern producer of hay, grain, meat pred
ucts and canned goods. |
If the farmer could realize what good
yoads mean to his welfare, he would
enthusiastically support the proposed
bond issue for good roads, for by this
means he will Lave his highways built
for him by the automobile owners of
the country without having to pay out
one cent in additional taxes. The bond
plan eimply takes the income from the
automobile license fees and gasoline
tax and converts it into a fund to re
tire the bonds, thus making it de in
ten years what otherwise it would take
thirty to accomplish.
Thinking citizens all over the state
are turning to the bond issue as the
means for helping the farmers whe
have been stricken by the bLoll weevil
pest back to presperity, and they are
supporting the measure with enthw
siasm.
Practically every civic organizatior
in the state has endorsed the good
roads bond issue. The Farm Bureav
Federation president, Hon. J. W. Mor.
ton, of Athens, is enthusiastically for
it, as are the majority of the Chambert
of Commerce in the state. The imter.
esting thing about all this enthusiasm
for the bonds, however, is the fact that
the people who will have to pay for
the romrs under the plan, the automo
bile owners, are the énes most heartily
supporting it. They regard it as 3
measure of economy. Thea say tho les

CRAVES THINGS OF BEAUTY
Cook’s Esthetic Sense Must Be Grati
fled—lnartistic Surroundings
Prodyce Depression.
Housewives have wondered why
Bridget, the ceok, packed up and left
without giving reason for her action.
Now the secret is out. It was, in all
probability, Dudley Crafts Whtson,
interior decorator, says, because her
esthetic sense was not gratified in ber
Inartistic surroundings.
Perhaps the coloring and design on
the wallpaper did not strike a har
monious cord in her spiritual makeup.
“Many a cook has left because of
the pictures in her room,” Watson said
in a recent lecture in Milwaukee, the
Milwaukee Journal reports. “No old,
Inartistic pieture should be hung in
her room. The wallpaper should be
warm, rosy, full of jolly coler and of
graceful design. She needs beauty.”
In order to keep the cook from be
coming dissatisfled and leaving he of
fers the following advice:
“If your cook enjoys your finest
painting or rarest print hang it in her
room."”
Or, in case one is fortunate enough
to support a gallery, the problem, no
doubt, could be simplified by moving
in a bed and turning the gallery over
to the cook.

HAS TWO CLAIMS TO FAME
Daniel Defoe Was Great Editor nl
Well as Writer of Fiction That
is Immortal,
Daniel Defoe is thought of by most
present-day people only for having
written “Robinson OCrusoe,” but his
reputation among his own contempo
raries rested on a great variety of ac
complishments, of which producing
that now famous book probably came
very near the last. He was chiefly
noted, In his own day, as a very great
editor, the Detroit News observes. De
foe survived three great political up
heavals, for he wrote and schemed In
the reigns of James 11, Willlam 111 and
Queen Anne., His fortunes were varied
during these troublous times and, as
he said of himself, within six months
he gaw “the difference between the
closet of & king and the dungeon of
Newgate.” :
One of his greatest friends from
boyhood was Samuel Wesley. Wesley
and Defoe married the two daughters
of a certain Doctor Annesley, Defoe’s
pastor. Samuel Wesley’'s two sons
were John and Charles, who after
ward became two of the most cele
brated divines of modern bistory.
Thus Defoe was their uncle by mar
riage. e i RS .
