Mr.. Cheyis on the MOn-
keys.

We have been deeply disappointed
ia our esteemed confrere, Mr. ".
C. Chevis editor Of the Baton Rouge
advocate. We have been accus-
toned to credit our friend with all
the virtues that adorn q vigorous
manhood. But, alas! this world is
made up OF dreams and disapoint-
raents. We no sooner think we have
found a model man and set hum up
as an idol, than the unfalthful vision
tumbles over into tue ditch and the
illusion vanishes. Mr.. Cheyis has
gone back on the monkey family;
be laughs to scorn Mr. Mangum's
nroposition to solve the four-cent
cotton problem by importing mon
keys to pick the ''tleecy staple"
He not only laughs this splendid
conception OF philosopher and =
philanthroplst to scorn, but ne
treats i. with contempt; makes sac
religious fun of monkeys and as
sumes that il these ''am0osin little
cusses" are trained to pick cotton.

between our two-legged coons,
donkies and the Simians. Miscege-
nations will Of course ensue and the
product Of this improper alliance
may be sent to Congress to control
our destlnies Or perhaps find . place
on the Supreme bench. Well. and
suppose such should be the case

BENEFIT OF TEMPLE FUND
Three Nights of Gaiety- The Booths and the Appointed 0e-
 cupants.

From present indications the Far to be given at the Bluff City Club, April 1, 5 and 6, by the Jewish peo- pie of this clty, will be one of the grandest affairs of like nature that ever took place in the eity.
 The merchants of this city and abroad have responded most gener- ously with donations of every dc scription.
 The proceeds ofathe Fair will go to new Temple fund which is swell ing in it's amount each day, and the new Temple is a certainty.
 The work op the Fair has been going on for the past three weeks and its success is already assured.
 Special features Of sainment will be glYen each evening, closing with a graud ball. Amorg the en- tertainments to be given is a per formance by the Bluff City Minstrel Company, for which no extra admis- sion fee will be charged.
 Mrs. A. S. Honnet is to superin- tend the erection of each booth and they will doubtless be exquisite af. fairs.
 At meeting of the members of the Ladies Temple Society and the Ladies Auxiliary Club the following ladies were assigned to the cores. bonding booths,

HENS AND HEN FRUIT.

But few people have any idea of the enormous amount of money re- alized every year in the United States from the production of eggs and chickens, says the Greensboro Messenger. Mr. P. H. Sprague, 8 Chicago poultry dealer, in a paper which he read last week before the farmers institute at Princeton, H., states that the production of chick ems in the United States last year reached 3, 350, ,O00, GOO in number and of eggs 5000, 900, ,00a. The total value of eggs and chickens produced was $200, 900, ,0OO, Accepting these figures as approximately correct, we must conclude that the hen plays an important part in our American life. But we will better understand the relative importance of that part wien we come to make some com parisons.
 The value of our tobacco crop has rarely been as much as $43, 900, 900. The value of our potato crop is less than 8O,O90, GOO on the average. The value of our barley crop is not often as much as $30, 900, 900. An oat crop worth $200, 900, 900 is un- usual. Our annual output of pig iron has rarely yexeeeded $130, 900, 900 In value. Coal, by far the most val uable of our mineral products, gives a total annual output If some $2OO, : OOO,OOO
 Raw cotton, wheat, hay and corn are thesonly four products of our country that exceeds in value hens and hens eggs, according to the above estimrte, and cotton some times follows the latter in the order of importance, the crop having exceeded $290, 900, 900 in value orly three times and the highest having been not quite $31O, 900, ,OOO The wheat crop has ranged in produc- tion from $213, ,000,0 900 to $513, 0O0,- 900 and the corn crop from about $40, ,OOO,O 900 to $783, GOO, 900. The average value of the hay crop may be stated at about $390, 900, 900. From this comparison the import ance of the hen, especially in our agricultural economy, will be appre- ciated
 If MT. Sprague stated the value of the egg product separately the fact is not reported. It would be inter esting to know the value of the egg output. Probably it exceeds any mineral output except coal, but not excepting pig iron. Proudly 1t ex- ceeds the value of any farm crop ex- cept corn, wheat, hay, cotton and oats, and it may even exceed oats. The hen is by no means to be de- spised.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
 INCREASE or HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not se Alarmed, Int Look for the
 Cause

Heart troubles, 1t least among the Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of Ameri- can business life, it is more often the result of weak stomaehs, of poor di- gestion.
 Real organic disease is incurable; but not one case id hundred Of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way, also the heart is effected by the form aof poor diges- tlpn, which causes gas ana fermenta- ton from half digested food. There is feeling of oppression and heavi- ness m the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood, making 1t thin and watery, which initiates and weakens the hearts
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the di- gestion and to insure the prompt as- similation of food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleas ant and effective digestive prepara- tion, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug r,H hfah IT. harmless digestive elements in a pleasant, convenient form.
 1t is safe to < ay that the regular persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except can cer of the stomach.
 Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents, Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, Mar shall, Mich.
