How the Natives Treat GOrillas.
Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always as hui
man beings of inferior types, and it is
for this, reason that for a long time it
was found impossible to get hold Of
an entire gorilla skin, because the saw
ages considered it religiously neces-
sary to cut off the hands and feet OF
the animals when they killed them,
Just as they do with their enemies, pos
sibly for the purpose of rendering them
harmless in case they should by any
chance come to life again.

a habit of interlarding all his remarks
with the phrase, "You understand"

ITALIAN VlOLINS.
The First "strad" Sent to Londc

The First "strad" Sent to London
Could Find No Purchaser.
Italian violins have not always held
the supremacy they now enjoy. 1t was
not indeed till the beginning Of the
nineteenth century that they came into
vogue to any extent outside their ma
tive land. Previously Jacob Steiner
Q621-S3) was the favorite maker, and
his high model had been almost exclu-
sively copied by his fellow Germans
and the different makers in France and
England. When the elder Corvette,
who had been a merchant before enter
ing the musical profession, came to
London, in 1873, he brought with him
some instruments by Stradivari. The
result of this endeavor to introduce
Italian work into England fills one with
pathetic wonder. 1t is almost beyond
belief. AS he could not get as much as
f5 ($20 for a violoncello he was obliged
to send the instrument back to Italy
for bad speculation. Five pounds for
"Strad," and not a single purchaser
to be found
This incident in itself furnishes suffi-
Gent testimony to the slavish following
Of the great German maker and the
strong prejudice of the violinists of
that period in favor Of the high model.
1t is indeed the players who are most
to blame for the slow adoption of the
fiat model, for the creator must make
what is necessitated by the demand;
but the eighteenth century fddlers, at
any rate in England, France and Ger
many, seem for the most part to have
been content that their violins should
possess small sweet tone, never real
izing the lack of power and sorority

CATTLE FOR BEEF.
The Various Breeds and Conditions
Best Suited to Each.

The Various Breeds and Conditions
Best Suited to Each.
At the Minnesota Live Stock Breed
ers' association meeting Professor
Shaw in the paper that he read upon
the subject said that on given area
Of farming land it will be found that
when the prices of beef are relatively
high a greater profit can be obtained
from cattle kept for milk or for milk
and meat than for meat only. But the
fact remains, says Prairie Farmer,
that even on some farms, if cattle are
to be grown at all, they must be grown
for meat production only. The condi-
tons that relate to labor are such that
cows cannot be MIXED nor can the
milk be cared for in the best fashion.
Some Of these have large pastures, and
on others the pasture is limited, al
though other food is grown in great
abundance. Under these conditions
which bred should be kept? Four
breeds will fill the bill reasonably well,
but not equally well. These are the
Shorthorn, Hereford, Aberdeen-Angus
and Galloway. Under the conditions
first named-that is, when the areas of
pasture are large and Of cultivated
land-small Galloways will probably
fill the bill better than the others.
Especially will this be true where the
animals are considerably exposed in
rough weather. The dams may be of
mixed breeding, the sires being Gallo
way. The young animals would suck
their dams, and at eighteen months or
at thirty months would be sold for
fattening on farms where the neces-
sary foods can be grown. High grade
Galloways fatten well and produce
meat that is eagerly sought in good
markets. On the second class Of farms
named the Aberdeen-Angus would
probably prove the most satisfactory
because Of the excellence Of the meat
produced. But when grown under
such conditions the aim should be to
grow meat of the best quality. The
young animals should be pushed along
from birth and put upon the market
at from twenty-four to thirty months.
They should never be allowed to stand
still in growth or to become lean in
flesh. This means that they must get
all the food they want and varied in
kind and whenever they need it.. The
profit comes through the excellence of
the meat product and the good price
it brings because of high finish.

UNIONTOWN A CITY OF
 WEALTH AND CULTURE
BY HOMER GEORGE.

Uniontown, January 31.-(Special )-To the investor anxiously looking for an at tractive community where he can place his capital so as to best secure safe and sure4returns. Uniontown and the farm ing section whereabouts offer inducements rare even in this great Southland State. The attractions offered for investment in manufacturing plants of any kind where cotton Is used or in farm lands are sur passed. in few instances only
 The city has a population numbering from two to three thousand It has an excellent system of water works, a first class electric light plant, and has streets well cared for bordered by good plank sidewalks. It is situated on the highest ridge between the Alabama and the Tom bigbee rivers not many miles from either. It Is almost level and is laid off after carefully-engineere plans.
 It is said that rain water falling upon one of the main streets runs from one side to the Alabama river and from the other to the Tombigbee. Yet to an or dinary observer the fall in each way is so slight that one has to be told of this Idcl DeIore II IS thought Of
 The Southern Railroad line running from York through Selma Is the only line touching the town now but efforts are being made to interest capitalists in the construction of another road running at right angles with this line. How suc- cessful these efforts have been to date cannot be told. but the prediction is ao I,a+ a line will be constructed. This predic- tion is based on information secured from private individuals upon pledges not to divulge it.
 The advantages offered to such a line are of a nature apparent to any one wno will only glance at a map of this section advantages to both railroad and the To- cal citizen One of the finest sections of the South would be traversed and many progressive cities passed through. It is a section filled with farmers of ability and woodland rich to a remarkable degree.
 contton Manufacturing Pays.
 It Is to the investor interested in the manufacture of cotton goods of any class that Uniontown's attractions most strong ly appeals; or to the owner of a compress or oil plant or warehouse. It Is this class of capitalists that the town offers more than to any other one cIass of business men, though attractions are offered to men in other lines of endeavor.
 From farms surrounding the city about 2O,O0O bales of the fieecy staple are brought to market annually. All of this comes on wagons and Is sent elsewhere for manu- facture At least the greater quantity is so disposed of. This cotton Is of a staple unexcelled in the south. and especially valuable to the factory owner. It IS strong and easily made into finIsned products. The superintendent of a local mill assert
 Governor Taft referred to the federal party in the island and said he had been given a petition from this party to be presented to the American congress, but had not decided as to how to present It. The committee decided to adjourn till Il o'clock tomorrow.
 Governor Taft said as he left the uom- mittee room that he desired to return to
The age-herald., 1902-02-01

ed to me that none in the south eoualed it.
 In cultivating and raising this superior grade of cotton no fertilizers are used As a result the cost to the farmers is much less than to the same man in so many other parts of the oountry where an enormous quantity of fertilizers is used Some claim this fact is prominent in the causes making the grade of yield so far above that in other portions Of the south
 Thus the farmer who has no money has no excuse for his condition. The oppor- tunities for making and saving are such that he should easily place himself in comfortable position.
 Though stress is laid upon the cultva- ton of cotton, 1t must be added that the crop is not the only one which may be planted with profit. Corn grows in quan- titles by no means small. Hay is sold in enormous lots, the acres yielding from two to five different rich harvests each season. Oats grow well, and other pro- ducts are produced successfully by those farmers who believe in living at home and varying their crops. It is a great country for hogs and cattle; and I may add for cocks. The fighting of chickens proves a great sport to many hereabouts. and many championships are claimed by the experts.
 Social Life Noted.
 Nothing about the city offers more in- ducements for residences than the excel lent school facilities and the social life The town affords an opera house, where good attractions are booked, and also has a superb school and college system which Is proving most attractive.
 The social life is surpassed In the mat ter of charm and pleasure by no other city its size in the United States. For beauty no Southern, Eastern or Western oity has claim superior. whether or not the climate is responsible, there is no city the size of Uniontown in the world where more really beautiful women live. This reputation has been borne for many years and Is a question of pride to every person in the county.
 The city is old. It has a cotton fac- tory and many other business and indus tries about which I wish to write of later.
 City's Municipality.
 The city is now under the leadership of Mir L. A. Morgan as Mayor. This is the fourth successive year MT. Morgan has handled the Mayorality reins. Dur ing the time he has done much to add to the prosperity of the place and make it more and more modern.
 Mayor Morgan is a native of Morgan County, having been born near Marion. In 1856 he moved to Uniontown and has virtually lived here since. He WIS in the Confederate army under Captain Clark and rose from a private to a mem- bership of General Perry's staff, surren- dering with him. After the war he was in business here, staying until the great panic of 73.
 Since 1874 he has been buying cotton. He has been several times a member of the City Council and Mayor.
