Monkey* Cleverly Trapped.
Monkey hunters walk about In hoots
which they take off in sight of tlu
monkeys nnd plaster the insoles witl
ruin. The imitative animals, wheu the

trees nnd put on the boots. Thus
they are trapped, for they can no
longer climb.

One who has white spots on the
nails should not become alarmed.
These do not point to an early death,
but are rather due to inferior nutrition
and may be regarded as a warning
that poor health, mental or physical,
may be expected unless it be guarded
agtitnst.

Holy Land. In Isaiah It states: “Tlion*
hast bought me no sweet cane with
money, neither hast thou filled mo with
the fnt of thy sacrifices; hut thru bast
made me to serve with thy sin.1 time
hast wearied me with tldne iniquitix ■."
