years. But such crabs arc frequently
found In Virginia oyster shells and are
considered great delicacles when you
get enough Of them. Last summer I
was shocking while on q visit In vir-

In oyster shells to fill an ordinary size

Monkeys are developing intelligence
rapidly along some lines OF human en-
deavor and soon may become such a
factor that labor unions will have to
recognize In them q formidable element
IL the sphere OF manual labor. The tan
gled forests OF Darkest Africa, which,
in the early days of the nation. supplied
the Southern planter with slaves to cul-
tivate his cotton fields and to gather his
crops, have again been drawn upon by
the farmer, whose ingenuity is equally
great. whether he devotes hts energies
to the manufacture of wooden nutmegs
In Northern States or Of liquid moon
shine In the South. '~
This time the demand Is for monkeys
good. able bodied monkeys, who shall
be equal to heavy days work In the
cotton fields. For that is the scheme
which the willy Southerner has planned,
and which he has found to be practical
BILE. He will set monkeys at work pick
ing his cotton crop, according to our
veraclous correspondent In yicksburg.
And why not? Monkeys have been
used in some parts of Asia to fetch and
carry, and they learn rapidly all that is
required of them.
Scores of them have been working on
the plantation Of w. w. Mangum in
Mississippi since the fall of 1897. Man.
gum attended the Vicksburg fair in
1896 with Prof. S. NJ. Tracey, and
watched the antics of number of
trained monkeys who were performing
various tricks under the supervision of
their trainer.
"As sure as you're alive. Mangum,"
said Prof. Tracey. "those monkeys can
be taught to pick cotton better and far
more cheaply than our negroes do. and
perpetual fame will be the part of the
man who tries the experiment and finds
It a success" .....-.
Magnum laughed at the suggestion,
but the more his friend talked to him
about the matter the more inclined he
was to try the experiment. In Septem-
Der. 1897. he hunted up the owner and
trainer of twenty trained monkeys in
New York City and made arrangements
both to buy the monkeys and to get the
services of their trainer. who assured
him that 1t would be the simplest thing

A Pleasant Evening.

The monthly meeting OF the
Oceanic Athletic Club last even
ing was well attended and was a
brilliant success. The Hall was
filed by members of the club and
visitors and the program rendered
was excellent.
That Decker boy is a peach and
the manner in which he met his
opponents was admired by all the
old timers who felt their props"
itching while looking at the
youngsters boxing.
The event of the evening was
the boxing match between Char
lie Lambert and Martin Denny.
Lambert did some beautiful work
and showed what he can do If in
proper training. Denny is a
mechanic" of course and natu-
rally had the best of Lambert, but
if both men were in equal and
proper training Denny would have
his hands full inbout with the pO-
pular polio eOfficer.
The management of the Club is
entitled to the greatest praise for
the manner in which the meetings
are conducted. 1t was like a
gathering of chums and every
thing went on orderly and pleas
antly and every one present was
hail-well met with the other fell
low.
AT the next meeting Mr.. Arm
strong of the Orpheum will have
boxing match with Martin Den
NY and there will be some fine
sparring done.
We advise our friends with a
"corporosity" to train with Denny.
Boxing is not alone manly sport
but it is very healthy exercise.
Anybody running against Denny
will probably find that he has
met a "reducer."
We hope that friends of clean
sport will join the Club. 1t is
worth the money to see Denny
boxing and the handsome referee
lodging among the boxers and
looking for Shamrock coin.
