TORTURE OF PRISONER. -
Terrible Cruelty inflicted on Cap-
tives by Gemasnens.
Hideous in the extreme, and only
equal in awfulness to the • frightful
horrors oY the Inquisition. of the
dark ages, is, the story told in a
semi-official French -communique of
the tortures inflicted upon French,-
. Mau, and English prisoners in
erran. prison camps.

Preacher Monkeys.
The author- of the "History of
Brazil" tells of a species of monkey
called "preachers." Every morning
and evening these monkeys assemble
in the woods. One takes ' a higher
position. than the rest and makes a •
signal with his forepaw. At this
signal the others sit round him and •
listen. When. they are all seated he
begins -to utter a series of sounds.
When he stops these cries he makes
another signal with his paw, and the
others cry out until he makes a third
signal, on which they . become anent
again. • This author, Mr. Margrove,
asserts that he was a witness to
these pr�hings.

William Wilberforce, the aloe
-
liberator, had a sister •who --was a •
hustler, She hustled for William at
the hustings and succeeded in get-
ting
id
ting him elected to Parliament. - On
one occasion, when she had conclud-
ed her stump speech, some enthus-
iasts in the crowd shouted: -
"Miss Wilberforce forever!"
The lady stepped forward.
"Gentlemen, I thank you," she
said, "but, -believe me, I do not wish
to be Miss Wilberforce forever.

Plough Tip Grass Lends,
The Scottish Departinent Com-
mittee on Food Supplies report that
there are about 1,600,000 acres of
permanent pasture in Scotl&nd,
and 1,500,000 acres in. temporary
pasture. Much of the permanent
pasture is only suited for grazing
stock and certain areas also of graz-
ing land are unsuitable to break up,
but, it is added, in the hands of both
farmers and occupying owners there
are many acres which, in present cir-
cums3taneess, should be brought under
the plough. The report considers
that steps should be taken to find out
what land now in gram is suitable
for growing grain and other crops,
and to secure that it - be cultivated.
Also that steps should be taken to
cultivate lands now let ass grass
parks and home. policies, where the .
ordinary organization of a farm does
not exist, it- also recommends that
when deemed advisable, the Board of
Agriculture for Scotland, by them-
selves or their nominees, :should
enter, occupy, - and cultivate such
lands.
