LOOK HERE, BoYs Here is q good
chance for lads who would like to serve
their country and at the same time sail
the bonnie blue sea-. Next September
twenty-five cadet engineers for service in
the navy will be appointed, by competi.
tion examination, held at Annapolis, snd
any American boy: between Is and 70
years of age has the right 70 contest for
one of the cadetships. No candidate
should present himself at Annapolis,
however, unless he is we'll versed in the
elementary English ches-grammar,
geography, arithmetic, algebra, geometry
and natural philosophy. The successful
candidates rank with the midshipman and
their pay is, the same, $500 ayear. Hav-
ing thought very seriously over this matter
and decided to become candidate, a boy
should write to the Secretary of the Navy
for a pamphlet of particulars and then he
should spend the Summer in earnest
study of the necessary branches.-PH''.

Wool Cotton.

Under this head the Athens Watch
man says: "Mr. w. T. Patman, highly
respected citizens Of Oglethorpe County
brought to this.ofice Saturday sample
of cotton which very closely resembles
wool, and which he says vas grown in
that county by Mr.. Burnett Salmon. A
daughter Of MIR. Salmon, some two years
ago, while in Charleston, went aboard a
vessel which hasjust arrived from Zan-
zibar, on the coast of Africa, and while
on the boat picked up some singular
looking seeds from the floor and brought
them home, where they were planted, and
produced this wonderful imitation Of
wool. The seeds we're all saved and
planted again last year, when a consider
able quantity was ginned by Mr.. Patmap,
who says it will yield one pound of lint
to every pound and a half Of raw cotton.
It is believed to be equally as valuable
as wool, and Pr produces as well as 05di, =; i,

Capturing Monkeys.

Il The monkeys are frequently captured
in nooses and in traps built in the shape
Of houses. The only entrance rs trap
door in the roof; which communicate with
q trigger set upen the ground. Food 1s
spread about inside, the monkeys enter,
and skirmishing around, disturb the trig-
ger. and the trap shuts them cin. The
third method for catching them is most
ludicrous one. IAN old fhard cocoanut
is taken and very small hole made IN
the shell. Furniahed with this and .
pockesfalTof boiled Iice, the :sportsman
sallies into the forest and stops beneath
a tree tenanted by monkeys. Within
full sight of these inquisitive spectators
he first eats little rice and then puts
quantity into the cocoanut with all the
iostentation possible. The nut is then
laid upon the ground, and the hunter re-
tires to a convenient ambush. The read.
er may be sure that no sooner is the man
out of sight than the monkeys race the!-
terskelter rforthe cocoanut:: The first arri.:
val peeps into it, and, seeing the plentiful!
store of rice inside, squeezes his hands in
through the tiny hole and clutches q
handful Now, So paramount is greed
over every other feeling connected with
monkey nature that nothing will induce
the creature to relinquish his hold.
With his hand thus clasped he can not
possibly extract it T; but the thought that
if he leaves 60 one of his brethren will
obtain the feast is overpowering. The
sportsman soon appears upon the scene;
the unipcumbered monkeys fly in all diree,
.tions, butthe unfortunate brute who will
not let the9rice go thereby handicapped
beyond hope with q cocoanut as large
ais himselfAa state Of affairs quite fatal
to rapid .locomotion, either terrestrial or
arboreal. The sequel is that he falls an
easy capture to the hunter, victim to
his own greed. Even when caught hs
reads in the actions of his captors de-
sign to rob him of rice, and he clutches
it all the harder, aud the very first
thing he does when the nut is cracked
and the hand released is to cram its con-
tents into his mouth. Thoughts of es.
cape come afterwads.-London fseld. - :
