Monkeys as Cotton Pick
GrS.

Perhaps it is not generally known
that monkeys in large numbers have
been successfully taught to pick
cotton. The idea was first sux-
gested by Prof. Tracey 1t the
yicksburc Fair in '96, and after
ward carried into effect by Mr..
Mangum. In regard to the result.
we quote from Mr.. Mangun's own
remarks, IS they appear in Cotton
Planters Journal fer January.
I consider the day that Prof.
Tracy suggested to me the training
OF monkeys as cotton pickeis, Is
the most fortunate day the South
has seen IN MANY years. It means
more to the South than . cott0n
picking machine. for the monkeys
are q success as pickers, while the
machines have been failures. The
monkeys are in every way superior
to negroes IS cotton pickers. In
the first place the cost OF picking
is only about one-thlrd. Then they
are more careful than negroes, and
pick cleaner grade Of cotton.
Even in this rainy fall, when Ill
other cotton WAS Ut . low grade.
that picked by the monkeys was all
middllng, and sold for ut least one
half cent more than that picked by
:he negroes Then they ~ill pick
in weather in which you can't get ,
ni2ger in the field. In fact, I be
lieve that it is the greatest discovery
that has been made for the cOttOn
planter since Whitney discovered
the cotton gin. People laughed At
me at first when l tried this thing.
~ they always do when . man tries
anything new, but now that it has
proved . success all nv heighbors
are wild about it. The negroes
have made several repeated threats
10 kill the monkeys, but as yet they
have not done so. anG l apprehenG
no great danger in this direction.

asvy To Prevent PnesasnWnla =.
You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from . cold or
from an attack OF Ia grippe. Dur
ing the epidemic Of Iagrippe . few
years ago when 80 many cases re-
suited in pneumonia, it was OBJ
served that the attack was
never followed by that disease wien
Chainberiain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency
Of > cold or l. grippe to result in
that dangerous disease. It is the
best remedy il tine w0lld for bad
colds and Il grippe. Every bot:le
warranted.

Crowding to the Cities.

The tendency Of young men es-
peclally to leave the farms and to
overcrowd the cities has become =
crying evil in this country. Each
census for a number of decades has
shown that an increased per cent of
the population is living in the cities.
The Baltimore Sun in commenting
on this subject says that The chief
causes Of this concentration Of
incubation IN the Eastern States
are easily accounted for, but that
such complaint should come from
purely agricultural States with no
large cities to attract people from
the fertile farms cannot fail to
cause surprise.
If young men desert the farms
to avoid hard work they are making
i grleyous mistake, because, COM
pared with the work Of the railroad
brakeman, the street car mortorman
or conductor, and Of many of the
clerks and laborers in the cities,
the occupation Of the farmer is one
of ease and leisure. True, there are
times when he must work hard,
and the. work in the field under July
sun is not along the primrose path
of dalliauce; but his vocation is
UNNECESSARILY more manly and in
dependent. He IS not forced to
submit to the, perhaps, rude and
brutal treatment Of an employer or
his subordinates. Of the continued
and unremitting labor of the city
man for at least three hundred days
in the year he knows nothing
Neither, as a rule, does he under
stand the struggle for existence, the
fight for food. which is the lot of
so many even Industrious men in
the cities. Yet the life upon the
farm, unfortunately, does not sat
isfy the aspirations Of ambitious,
energetic young men with health
and brains. They hear of men
who started poor in the city, who
went there from the country with
out money or friends and became
rich and gained high positions,
while among the farmers around
them they see few if any who have
acquired either riches or fame, and
they leave the old home To take
part in the struggle, the life and
excitement Of the city, little wot.
ting that for every one who has
gained fame or fortune there arr
thousands and tens of thousands
who have fallen By the wayside Of
whose fate no record is kept.
There is another class, and by
far the larger class. who 60 to ths
city not with any ambition to graft
~, but simply because country life
| is dull and lonesome. In the winter
time when there is leisure the roads
are bad and it is perhaps q long
ride or drive to the nearest neigh
Dor Il may be that good road'
and bicycles will make country life
more attractive BY promoting socla
intercourse.-Daily States.

What our Presidents Cost

It costs the I,eople OF the United

executive. His salary il $50, 900
and "f0und" as our western neigh
bors say. The presidents findings
is rather comprehensive, covering
about every possible requirement
Of . family. His private secretary,
the clerks. doorkeepers, messengers,
and steward. and three other ser.
wants, cost rs $3.50 . year. Then
there is contingent fund Of $4,000
= year which the president msy use
according to his discretion.
In furniture and repairs to the
White House the sum OF $4,000
more to be used by the direction OF
the president, il provided BY the
nation, and is always expended.
For fuel alone $4,000 Is allowed and
for necessary repairs 70 the green
house there ID 500.
Altogether the presidential "iind-
ing" annually amounts to tie snug
snm Of 1884, 65, nearly $4,000 >
year more than hia salary. The
