THE IMPORTATION OF MONKEYS.
-Grinders DO Not Carry Them Here
Nowadays.

Organ Grinders DO Not Carry Them Here
Nowadays.
A man who had missed the monkeys
formerly carried about by organ grind
ers in the city streets, and who had
attributed their disappearance to the
changed conditions of the organ
grinding business, to the substitution
of the big pinno-organ ON wheels, man
aged by two persons, for the oldfash-
ioned smaller hand-organ, that was
carried about by the player, found,
upon inquiry, that, whatever influence
the changed conditions might have
had, the carrying of monkeys by
organ grinders is now prohibited here
by city ordinance. There are, how
ever, places in which the monkey still
forms valuable part of the organ
grinders outfit, and where tile nimble
little animal clad in an embroidered
jacket, and wearing fancy hat, which
it doifs for the pennies, still climbs
fences and rainwater conductors, and
hops up on porches quite in the old
familiar way, in search Of contribu-
tions. While monkeys are not per-
mitted here, there are men who buy
monkeys and train them to sell to
organ grinders, who can use them else
where, and well-trained monkey
sometimes brings as much as SO.
1t had seemed, with fewer monkeys
in sight, as though there must be
fewer monkeys now imported, but the
fact appears to be that, il anything,
the importation is just now rather
greater than usual, due to the in
creased demand from the show people,
who are, after all, the greatest pur-
chasers of monkeys in this country.
The organ-grinders use n considera-
BILE number; a few comparatively are
sold for geological collections, and in
recent years few have been sold for
pets; but the largest buyers of mon
keys are the travelling shows, OF which
there are, besides the great, modern,
consolidated shows, many smaller es,
showing in smaller towns throughout
the country. Take them all together
and these shows use up good many
monkeys. The life of monkey on
the road is usually but single sea-
son. The show renews its stock OF
monkeys every year. New York Sun.

Hats In Endless ProfusiOn.

Hats for the season now at its
height present bewildering display.
They are weighted with fruits and ber-
ries, leaves and blossoms which have
been turned by the sun and frost in
the workrooms. Straws the like of
which never have been seen in field
are presented in combinations which
require great courage to wear.
A toque of several shades Of violet
velvet in bands, interlaced with black
Paradise feather, fastened by jew eled
rosette, is among tina recent styles,
and is suitable for evening wear.
For visiting there is broad d-brimmed
straw, lifted at the sides underneath
by velvet bows and bands. 1t has
three waving ostrich plumes, and
pendant from the back are black NOUS
seline de sole strings, which are tied
under the chin little to the side.
Most becoming to a young face is
another broad hat in green fancy
straw. Swathed around its crown is
mousseline, the lightest shade OF
green. Clusters of cherries and their
leaves finish the combination.
Brims are all wide in the new hats.
0ne, loaded with autumn flowers, with
loops of wired black velvet ribbon
wreathed over them, is a charming
creation, but this, too, is fastened by
velvet ties.

Some figures have recently been

Germany, 1922 pounds; Austria,

Since sugar is one of the Injuries of

countries where wealth most abounds
sugar is consumed in greatest quanti-
ties. In the United States 4, 400, 900,
900 pounds of sugar are consumed an

The fact that Missouri is building
up big trade in poultry in Hawaii,
having lately contracted to send
200, 900 live chickens there, is full OF
suggestion to small farmers. Chickens
thrive in Hawaii, but the people there
do not care enough about bothering
with them to go into the business on
large scale. As n result both eggs
and poultry are dear. The opening
in all the islands for chicken ranches
is one that is bound to attract atten-
tion among the class that wants to
find use in Hawaii for small capital
