MONKEYS TO PICK COTTON.
A Chicagoan Proposes to Utilize
Tropical Beasts.

Peter Kuntz, a native of Chicago,
who says he is cousin Of loom"
Paul Kruger, arrived at Pine Bluff,
Ark, the other day accompanied by a
party of capitalists and lumbermen.
Mr.. Kuntz says he is touring the
state of Arkansas in search of spot
where he proposes to launch scheme
which, if successful, will revolutionize
the cotton picking industry of the
south. He and his companions are
travelling on a special train composed
of three vestibule sleepers.
Kuntz proposes according to Mem
phis (Tenn) dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Press, to colonize large number
of monkeys from Africa and South
America, which, he says, make excel
lent cotton pickers. He is looking for
large tract of land, which will be
bought in and a stock company form
ed from the number of capitalists now
with him. He then proposes to embark
for Africa and bring back two ship
loads of monkeys.

DRUNKENNESS IN HOLY LAND
Palestine Fast Becoming a City
of Saloons.

From the National Temperance Advocate.
Not content with the desolations of
the drink traffic at home, we seem
bound to carry the unmitigated curse
into every corner of the globe. There
is something inexpressibly revolving
in the thought of drunkenness in the
Holy Land. Yet Palestine is fast
becoming a land of drunkenness. Will
Jerusalem become the city of saloons?
We do not often associate the holy
Land with public houses, but it seems
that the drink curse is increasing in
Palestine. In Jerusalem there is a
brewery, so we are Informed by cor
respondent, which turns out l ,500,000
gallons of beer annually, and in Naza-
reth there are So licensed places.
To be sure, these are mostly for the
accommodation of tourists and visitors,
but that fact forms grotesque COM
mentary on the plea of those who just
ify their drinking on the ground OF
the example set in Judea by the found
err of Christianity. Instead of getting
our drinking customs from the east we
are taking them there.

16S. 600 EGGS IN d HOURS.
The Enormous Output of a Little
California Town.

In Petaluma the fowl family have
increased and multiplied TO such an
amazing extent that the town easily
ranks as the most important hennerY
in the world.
Let the citizen who prides himself
upon the possession of few score OF
feathered specimens, and who daily
confdes to his friends the number of
eggs obtained from his miniature cello
nv, compare some of the following fig
ures with those that he is in the habit
of quoting:
There were shipped from Petaluma
last wear no less than 100000 dozen
eggs and 10000 dozen of poultry. As
many as 14,C90 eggs have been shipped
from that town in one day. TO feed a
feathered family of such vast proper
tious as can be seen at Petaluma re-
ouires a supply of pruve1der that in
the last year brought to the merchants
of the town $4,000 for feed alone.
To this sum must be added many,
many thousands of dollars for feedstaff
imported from San Francisco by the
larger poultry raissrs. One OF she
ranch owners will frequently go into
a store in Petaluma and lay down
$500, with the request that feedstuff TO
that value be forwarded to his hen
merry. Money is abundant, and spot
cash is the basis of trade in that vi
entity.
Twenty to thirty coops of poultry
are shipped every dav to the markets
at San Francisco. ells-Fargo shipp-
ed through their Office last year H.
600 cases of eggs, and the Petaluma
Express Company is handling 100 cases
day. Every one in the town 10 in
the poultry business in some form or
other. The hen certainly rules the
rOost in Petaluma.

STEVENS ON COTTON CROP.
Sticks to Estimate of 100000
Bales as GeOrgia'S Crop.

The state department of agriculture
sticks to its estimate of 100000 bales
for the Georgia cotton crop, despite
the assertions in many quarters that
it will reach1 100000 bales or there
abouts.
1t was last August that Commissioner
o. B. Stevens gave out an estimate
that the Georgia crop would go over
1,300,00 bales. The Georgia receipts
up to date are about $4,000 bales
ahead of the same date last year, but
they have already began to fall off
rapidly in comparison with last year.
Last years total receipts were 1885,
600 bales.
"We stand by our estimate of 1,300,-
600 bales" Colonel Stevens said
yesterday. "There may be rs, 900 bales
more, though hardly think so. But
it will not go beyond that amount at
the outside. | have watched the crop
closely and from my observations and
the port receipts [ am SATISFIED this
will prove close to correct. Every
thing has been favorable to the gather
ing of the crop, and 1t came on better
than expected. While the receipts
now are considerably ahead of what
they were last year, they are now be-
ginning to run behind what they were
last year at the rate of about $4,000
bales a week"

Effect of the Repeal of the War
Revenue Act.

The effect of the repeal of the war
revenue act in toto, which is now be-
fore congress, and which has passed
the house unanimously, would amount
to reduction in internal revenue re-
ceipts of the district of Georgia OF
about 100000, it is said.
Following is list of the principal
articles and businesses from which
the tax would be removed by the pass
age of the present measure:
Legacies, bank tax, brokerage, pawn
brokers, custom house brokers, pro-
prietors of theatres, circuses, proprie-
oors and agents of public exhibitions,
bowling alleys and billiard rooms,
bonds and debentures, mixed flour.cer
tificates and contracts, conveyances,
passage tickets, sleeping car tickets
and sparkling and other wines.
