Hes Going to Introduce Monkeys as
Farm Hands In the South.
Paul Kuntz, a Chicago man, who has
extensive interests in the south. is
now in Arkansas with a party of
northern capitalists, has a plan for the
solution Of the labor problem in the
south. The remedy, says Mr.. Kuntz,
lies in the substitution Of monkeys
for the negro.
Thus far Mr.. Kuntz's plans only look
to the replacing Of the negro by a
monkey in the contemplating season.
He says he knows monkeys and their
capacities, and is confident that they
can be so trained as to make the
most efficient kind Of cotton-pickers.
They can not only pick as well as the
negro, but they can pick twice as much
In a given time. There are other ad-
vantages attendant upon their en-
ployment. One is that they will not
demand wages, and this item will be
an immense advantage to the planter.
Neither will they form labor unions,
and the union principle that is gaining
a footbold among the negroes is not
encouraged on the big plantations.
Mr.. Kuntz derives his knowledge of
monkeys from observation of them in
Africa, Of which country he is a ma
tive. He is so well satisfied that they
can be trdned to do the work in the
cotton fields that he now has a large
consignment of them on the way from
that country, which he proposes to
employ on a cotton plantation which
he owns. He says that his experience
has demonstrated to his satisfaction
that the monkey can be trained 10
perform any kind of manual labor re-
quiring skill and application. The
work must not be too %laborious, as the
monkey has not the strength requisite
for heavy labor.

DR.. Edward King, the v%enerated and
sanity Bishop of Lincoln, in England,
is now much advanced in years and
somewhat infrm. Recently he has
been visiting Bournemouth for his
health, and 7. P. O'Connor, in his IN.
A. p" tells the following story of the
venerable prelate's visit to hat sea-
side health resort: After resting for
some time one afternoon OF a seat on
the Parade the Bishop desired to
move, but, owing to his age and in
trinity, found some difficulty in rising.
A kind hearted little girl of the town
noticed his trouble and ran mp, saying:
ooh, let me help you"
The good bishop beamed upon the
child with one of his sweetest smiles,
and the smile of the bishop is very
sweet, indeed. "You are a dear little
maiden" he said, but l do not think
you are strong enough"
why bless you, sir" was the re-
ply. I've often helped up daddy
when he was a sight worse drunk than
you are"
O'Connor says the truth of this story

Among the patents which have been
recently granted in the United States
may be mentioned one issued to John
w. Jenkins, New York City, for an in
teresting system whereby passengers
are to be discharged from a train with
out the necessity of stopping at sta
tions. The characteristic feature of the
invention resides in the employment
Of a number Of Saddle cars" which
are excessively taken up n dropped
from the moving train. and through
the medium Of which passengers may
enter or leave a train without inter-
rupting its movement.

NEW CHURCH AT NOME.

CongregatIonaiists Build and Run the
only One in Gold Town.
The congregation having o%utgrown
the first building, it became necessary
to erect another at once An appeal
made on Feb. %, 1900, to the miners
Of the camp for volunteer labor
brought out twenty-five men the first
morning. They came with picks and
shovels and began to clear off the four
feet of snow that covered the ground.
Some days as many as seventy men
worked upon the building, nearly all
giving their services. Through wealth
er often below zero they worked on
and by March II, inside of the twenty
one days, the new church was COM
pleted. 1t is one of the best buildings
in the city and will seat 500.
Chairs are used for seating and the
American flag is prominent in the
decorations. The church was dedi-
Gated on the first Sunday of September,
free Of debt. After a public offering a
balance of $500 remained, but the trus-
tees announced that they would as
sumo the debt, Upon this an ex-
saloonkeeper and a Roman Catholic
came forward and asked permission
to contribute the 5000. which was glad
ly granted. The cost of the building
and lot has been about $4,000.
The church through its services and
reading room and library has rendered
splendid service TO the people Of Nome.

small villages of negroes and Indians.
The soil is fertile but the principal oc-
cupation is that at the fisheries. The
largest isle, called Rey, alone embraces
half of the population. San Miguel is
the chief place of the fisheries, and
there is a very fine church. The in
habitants are nearly all blacks. They
are descended from the negro popula-
ton, from whom the S%paniards
learned the advantage they could de-
rive from the island riches. In GER
tain of the islands there must have
been diamond beds. Some fine rough
diamonds were formerly procured.
There are two systems for carrying
on pearl fishing in the bay of Pana-
ma. In certain spots, where the yield
is the most abundant, it is necessary
to pay the government a very high
tax. At other points the tax is small,
but a percentage on the pearls discov-
cred is added to it. Generally, these
pearls are rather small. They usually
bring from 3 to so francs each. Those
which reach $50 to 300 francs are all
ready much less in number.

fore II or 10 o'clock. After breakfast
ing and doing their chores they go to
the reading room, where they can find
companionship, good books. light and
heat. With coal at $50 a ton, a warm
room in that cold northland counts for
something. Those thus served by the
church. when an appeal was made for
help in building a new edihce, gladly
responded.
The first building is now used as
library and reading room. It contains
over l,5OO books and periodicals. It
is supported by the church at a cost
of about SIS per month, There are
three great institutions at Nome-the
stores Of the great trading companies,
the saloons and the congregational
church. 1t costs about $500 per year
to carry Pm the church and its de-
partments, say the New York Mail
and Express. 1t is entirely self-sup-
porting The edifee is crowded both
morning ana evening and is a veri-
table beacon light in that great north
land.

vince; to charm, to win, to arouse, to
calm, to e%nlighten, to persuade-this
is the function Of the orator"
Surely, this is a noble mission. A
youth who undertakes to develop his
powers with a view to fulfilling It's re-
quirements. even if he never attains
eminence as a public speaker, cannot
fail to have a broader mentality, wider
culture, higher ideals, a more vigorous,
well rounded character than if he had
new aspired to be an orator.
Like everything hat is worth hav-
ing, the power of effective speaking can
only be developed by continual effort,
by reading with a purpose, with con
slant study, by Independent thought,
and by frequent practice in debate or
speaking to audiences.
Association with the great thinkers
of the past and present through their
writing, and with the eloquent orators
of to-day through their spoken words,
whether On public platform or in the
pulpit, are powerful aids to the youth
who is ambitious to become a ready
and eloquent speaker.

Growth of the EngIIsh Language.

To give some idea Of the tremendous
growth of the English language it may
be mentioned that the words and
phrases under the letter "A" have in
creased in fifty years from 1000 to
nearly 10000. Intelligent persons, even
those engaged in the learned profess
siOns, do not made use OF more than
5000 to 5000 words, all told, although
there are properly belonging to our
language over 200, 1000.
