Perhaps I might speak of Joe Mendez, whom I took at Cape Mount. showed that he associated oratory with the chief exponent of fundamentalism. Another, extraordinarily able chim- panzee named James I sold to the Zoological Gardens at Chicago. Three years after we had said good-bye at Camden I visited the ape quarters. Suddenly there was a scurrying and a stampeding from a far comer o(f the park. Then an older James, now grown nearly to my shoulder, came rushing upon me, crying, "Goâ€" Go â€" Go" â€" the chimpanzee cry of emotion. He thrust his arms about my neck. He lavished his love upon me. After three years! You may keep your pet cat or bird or pony or rabbit or raccoon. You may even keep your pet dog. And I say this slowly, for I have loved more than one noble dog in my day. But when my African voyages are over and I settle down at home I will find me a teachable young cbimpanxee for pet and companion. Of the animals I have handled they interest me most. They may be our cousins, or again they n»y not be. But they are to me unquenchably fascinating.

Amery and Immigration Quebec Evenement (Cons.): Once again we see this strange pheno- menon occurring among some of our confreres, of a British sympathy so pronounced as to overwhelm Cana- dian national feeling. It may be -that certain British problems are so serious In character that. In the In- terests of the British Commonwealth of Natons. they considered It an urgent matter to offer the assistance of the daughter nations to the mother nation of the Empire. This agrument is regularly abused for the purpose of persuading us to take a greater share In the naval defence of the Em- pire. believod, our outlaw cr.me out of the i He was a wild, scratching, spitting, wood-j. I s'-t watchers in a hut within fighting little brute when brought to sig.it. And soon, I found that idea, hatched in iivroninia. as a last resort had !iucrfcd<-d where all the old meth- ods failed. The same afternoon I had hardly laid down when my boy Hec- tor stood over inc. He pointed toward camp. But I knew him on the spot for an unusual chimpanzee. The mon- key who will bito is tho monkey that learns tricks. So it is with chimpan- zees. I kept Joe Mendez without food for the peep hole cut in the mud side of 1 several days and then I approached our hut. 1 und'jrstood his gestures, which are always expressive in the moment when a coveted animal is yielding. I made for tho peephole. What 1 l-sriold in tlie drone of the hot afternc-on waa epic in its elemental drama. Tiie old outlaw, a big chap, heavy haired and solemn faced, was stretch- ing oi.e arm out to our little captive, as his morose countenance expressed what to me seemed like an alnrast human tragedy. His attitude, his quiet glocm, his stark sup])lication were as if he were rayifig: "Hei-e wo are. you and I. You are a captive on a chain. I am an outlaw ooorncd by all other chintpanzees.- Oomc. let us comfort each other!" The stern scientists of the textbooks may say that I am seirUmentaliizing. But I am merely trying to put the Interpretation that appealed to me upon the acts of this murdering exile. As I watche<l I was fascinated. But At last reality brought me back. I â- tepped to the door. I raised my wea- pon. In two seconds the great chim- panzee had passed out of the land where ^-illage8 are terroriied by such as he. BattUng bands of chimpanzees have always filled roe with Interest, but I hav« never once wen a band battle T«ar enough to watch its minute hap- panings. I hava heard such battling, niyra than one*, and my boys hav« told BM marveloua tales of such enoount- mn. The great males of on* band, they aajr, fall upon the great males of an- otitar, while the females wait neari>y quits passively. Though it is neces- sary to taks all stories the natives tell iKth some riDspticism, I still believe ^tmg k«vs dasoribed the attituds of him, eating a banana. Finally I smeared the banana on my bare fore- arm and held it out. He ate It off, not offering to bite me. So had hunger reduced him. It wasn't long before I let him out of his caga Soon he did not need to be tethered. He merely dragged a rather heavy chain, to pre- vent distant explorations. At the risk of seeming vanity, I must confees that Joe grew fond of me, as he showed those cool evenings in Cape Mount, when he took his courage in both hands and scrambled up upon my cot. Joe dearly loved to cover himself with a blanket, and soon the little rascal indicated that he pre- ferred to have me to peel his pineapple rather than to prick his fingers by peeling it himself. He quickly developed many of the taete« of civilization, including a marked liking for canned cherries. It did not take me two months to teach Joe to wear clothes. Some chimpan- /.ees I have never been able to pep- siiade into a re,ia'.a. Five months after nU capture Joe was the pet of my family at Camden, N.J. He could hammer a nail, when I commanded. Hs couM shoulder a stick which I called "gun" and march lllBs a sokUer. After some coaxing; I taught him to stand with one thumb in his waiMcoat, in an oratorical pose. And hs did this when I ordered: "Now, make your stand like William Jennings Bryan bpeaking against evolution." I finally sold him to some peopie in Dayton, who used him as a mascot at ths famoiu opera'bouffe trial that happsnad there three years ago. 1 do not claim that Joe understood tho significance of his position at the famous litigation, but hs plainly Seeing Canada First Boston Transcript: The allure of the woods and fields and atreams in the Canadian scene, the fascination of Quebec, the city, and the Quebec countryside, suggestive of a bit of the Old World, the appeal of north- ern latitudes in .summer months, have a compelling influence with a great may people. - So year by year the tide of travel increases. An Interna- tional boundary Is no barrier to the motor car. It Is well that It Is so. Oood neighbors should be on visiting terms. And If some of us see Can- ada first, there will be enougb of us left on this side of the line to crowd the roads to the acenic wonders of the United States. A Requisite. A line that most every salesman carries. Candy Recipes Successful candy making depends to a large extent on accurate measur- ing and cooking to a correct tempera- ture. There are other tests which an experienced cook can use to guide her, but the only sure way to deter^nlne temperature Is to use a candy ther- mometer and watch It closely. Candy should be cooked In a deep saucepan, where the mixture will be several Inches thick, which prevents too rapid and too great evaporation. Fudge contains more sugar than It can hold in solution, so It will ciystal- ize out when the solution is stirred or beaten. If this crysUlUzation takes place when the fudge Is cooled suffl- clently so that the bottom ot the pan Is Just warm to the hand, the crystals will form rapidly and be very fine and velvety. This aids In eliminating the coarse, sugary fudge. The first secret In making fudge is to remember to wait until the fudge has cooled suffi- ciently before beating It Chocolate Pudge. 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 squares bitter chocolate, 1 cup cream. Orate o rshave the chocolate p '1 put It in a saucepan with the sugar and cream. Put the Ingredients over a moderate flame and stir slowly until the sugar Is dissolved and the mixture com- mences to boll. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the candy thermometer registers 236 degrees Fahrenheit Remove from the fire. Let stand until cool; then beat until thick, enough to turn into a buttered tin. A teaspoon of' T^UIa may be added. ^ Orange Marmalade Fudge a cups granulated sugar, Iv^up thin cream, H teaspoon cream ot tartar, % cup orange marmalade, ^A tea- spoon orange flavoring. Put the sugar, cream and cream of tartar into a saucepan, stir until the sugar Is dts>' solved, and then let the mixture boll until 238 degrees Is reached or it forms a soft ball when tested In cold water. Remove from the fire, let cool and then beat until thick and creamy. Toward the last of the beating add the orange marmalade and the flavor- ing. Pour intoo a buttered pan. '' Pecan Creams. 2 cups light bra\vn sugar, % tea- spoon salt, % cup hot water, % cup melted butter, 1 cup pecan meats. Put the first three Ingredients into a saucepan and stir until the sugar Is dissolved. Let boll until 238 degrees Is reached or It forms a soft ball when tested in sold water.

Walnut Panoche IVi cups granulated sugar, m cups light brown sugar, 1 cup milk, H tea- spoon salt, 1 cup chopped walnuts, 8 drops almond extract. Put the sogar and milk in a large saucepan and stir until the sugar la dissolved. Then boll without stirring until the tbs^ mometer registers 38S degress or a soft ball is formed when ths mixtnrs is tested In cold water. Lst stand un- til cool and then beat TlaoMttaly; when It begins to get creamy add the nuts and extract. Pour Into a butter- ed pan and when hard cut into squares with a knife which has beaa dipped In boiling water. Persian Creams 3 cups brown sugar, 1 cup strong coffee, 3 squares chocolate, melted, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 cup nut meats. Boll together, without stirring, the first four Ingredients until 2S8 de- grees Is reached or the mixture forms a soft ball when tested in cold water. Remove from the flre, let cool, add the nut meats and beat until it be- comes thick and creamy. Pour into a buttered pan and mark in diamonds before it becomes quite hard. Cocoanut Cream Candy 2 cups granulated sugar, % cup s#eet cream. 1 teaspoon butter, 1 cup fresh cocoanut Mix the sugar, cream and butter In- a saucepan and let boil until It reaches 238 degrees or forms a soft ball when tested in cold water. Remove from the flre, let cool, add the cocoanut and beat until creamy. Pour Into buttered pan and cut in ob- long strips wb^ partly cool or drop by spoonfuls on buttered paper. A different candy may be nxade from the same ingredients by letting them boil for fifteen minutes, adding ths cocoanut and pouring Into the pan. This win have a somewhat sugary texture. Dlslccated cocoanut can be substi- tuted for the fresh If it la allowed to stand In milk tor a few minutes be- fore using and the milk is drained oft. Marquiss 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 cups milk, \ eup butter, 2 cups blanched almonds, 1 cap English walnut meats, 1 teaspoon almond extract Boll the sugar, butter and milk together until a little of the mixture tested in cold water will form a soft ball or 888 de- grees Is reached.

Mr. Spalding Black, ot ths BAlMa Tm Co.. giTss ths following taforaMOloai on the subject : "At one tims China prodnesd prMll> eaUy all ths tsa ussd la ths worM.

Thsss tig leaves were caUsd by ths Ohlnsss "pak-ho" (meaning' silver hair). la the latter part ot the ninstssath csop tury, when tea growing had sprsad sx- tenslrely to Ceylon and India, tas growers discovered that ths colour ot the tip. leaves on the Ceylon and India tea bushes was changed by the cU^ mate to a slightly more orange shads, so ths Ceylon and Indian tip leaves came to be called "Orange Pak-ho." This was soon Anglicized to ths term we now have â€" "Orange Pekoe," whlck should be pronounced "Peck-o." The ordinary buyer of tea, when asking tor "Orange Pekoe" expects ts receive a Ceylon or Indian Black "fta. However, there are so many qualltlM of "Orange Pekoe" offered to the pub- lic, and frequently at bargain pricaik that a word of warning is necessary. Everyone Is familiar with the msi* chant who has perishable fruit and who sells for very low prices the last of the shipment which has lost its freshness, which the merchant wants, to be rid of to avoid loss. The same thing applies to tea, which also la very perishable if exposed to the air. When you see cheap tea. It is either very poor quality or else It has lost Its freshness and most ot its strength, whether this tea Is called "Oraugs Ppkoe" or not. In this age of well-edited news* papers, radios, automobiles a^d fast trains,, accurate knowledge on a great host of subjects Is transmitted rapid- lyf The advance of science has no- where been more valuable to man- kind,, except perhaps In preventive medicine, than in the means of pro- tecting the purity and goodness ot food stuffs. To-day, in accord with enlightened knowledge, the best tea Is always sold in sealed alr-tlght packages, preserv- ing it from deterioration In flavour and contamination from any outside source. Canadian tea-drlnkcrs are to- day getting better and purer tea thaa ever before. The sales of weli-blend- ed and carefully packed package teas are constantly increasing as a result ot the purity and superiority of these teas being advertised to. the public."

A Far Cry From the Old Balloon Daya A Gorilla Haven New York Zoological Society Asks Co-ofwration of France New York. â€" Co-operation of ths French Colonial Government in pro- tecting the gorillas ot West Africa was urged by the New York Zoologi- cal Society at Its thirty-fourth meet^ Ing Just held at the Waldorf. A resolution cited the establishment of the gorilla sanctuary in the Belgian Congo, with the result that the French Congo Is being Invaded by hunters to the extent that tho species there Is la danger of extermination. Refusal to purchase young gorillas tor exhibition purposes was provided for In the re- solution because the animals rarely survive in captivity. Increased attendance at both the Zoological Park and the Aquarium during 1927 was reported. A total ot 5.000,000 persons visited the two in- stitutions, which is the largest num- ber on record. Among tho acquisitions of the zoo- logical party during the last year were an African cape buffalo, a baby In- dian elephant a black jaguar, a wart hog, several African antelopes, a Grevy zebra, a very rare hyaclnthlne macaw and harpy eagle from Soutb America and a great black cockatoo from New Oulnfta.
