Then' was a servant problem when I liMin Swift was alive Just as there is today, and be died In 17 -l In his "Rules and Directions For Servants" he wrote: "When you have broken all your earthen vessels below stairs, which Is usually done In a week, the copper pot will do as well. It can boll milk, heat porridge, hold small beer. Apply it indifferently to all these uses, but never wasli or scour it." And again: "If you want paper to singe a fowl, tear the lirst book you see about the house. Wipe your shoes, for wunt of ft clout, on the bottom of a curtain or a danmsk napkin." "In roasting and boiling." he goes on, "use none but the large coals and save the small ones for the fires above stairs." Another touch that might have been written today is the following: "When a butler cleans the plate leave the whiting plainly to be seeu in all the chinks, for fear your lady should not believe you had cleaned it." Once more: "There are several ways of putting out a candle.

You may run the candle end against the waiuscot, which puts the snuff out lmmedfntety; you may lay it on the ground and tread the snuff out with your foot; you may hold it up side down until it is choked in its own grease or cram it into the socket of the candlestick; you may whirl it round in your hand till it goes out." almost absorbs the output.

A BABOON HUNT. Horribly SoBcntlve of Slaughter of II man He In KM. A traveler writing from South Africa describes a baboon hunt as follows: Very slowly we spread out round about the base of the kopje and began crawling ascent through the thick scrub. Kaffirs and farmers together, we formed something of a loose circle around the kopje. Daylight found us drawing near tbe higher spurs of the kopje and the Kaffirs were busy beating.

"Then the sport began, nnd pretty uncanny it was. A good many baboons broke through our circle, for we only mustered seven guns, but as we neared the top of the kopje I could tell by the noises all about me that some execution was being done. My first kill gave me a most uncomfortable thrill. It was horribly like picking off nanan. "The baboons were great big, human looking brutes, quite capable of picking up a lamb In their hands and running off with it.

As a fact, they generally content themselves with ripping tbe beast open to get at the curdled milk within. Bat their cries were the most horribly human tiling about them and tbe gestures of their waving arms. When we all met a careful count was made. Thirty baboons bad been bagged. Seven had fallen to my gun." A Frlajbfeaed Rabbit.

"I was walking across a field with my dog at my sldo when a young rub- bit emerged from a' wood close by," says a writer. "Huddenly It fell to tbe ground and was to all intents dead. Tho dog sniffed it. and I watched It for about ten inluutcH. thinking it absolutely dead.

I walked away about fifty yards, when I looked back and tbe rabbit rise and run rapidly into tbe wood whence It came. It evident that It saw tho dog and dropped down out of fright." to Claru, I bet heavily on the last game. I thought It rlgbt to tell yon-Mrs. you bet on tbe game and lost all your uiouoy.
