Monkeys Caught by stratasem.

Ring-tall monkeys, one of the most
valuable and expensive of the smaller
animals, are caught in an interest
ing way A cocoanut is split in two
and a banana with a piece CT wood
running through it placed lengthwise
through the nut, the two halves of
which are drawn together by wires.
Then hole is cut large enough for
the monkeys paw 10 enter The mon
key spies the tempting nut from mis-
tree. He hops down, looks it over,
sees the hole and smells the banana
inside. He is fond of bananas. Put
ting his paw in, he grasps it, but the
wood prevents it from coming out
Then the catchers appear and the mon
kew runs for a tree: But he cannot
climb because of the cocoanut on his
paw, and he will not let go OF that,
so he is captured, paving wildly at the
tree trunk.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS
CREDTTABLE DEGREE OF AC-
 TIVITY IS NOTED.
Building of New Mills and the Enlarge ment of old Plants in the Cotton Manufacturing
 Industry.

Baltimore. Oct S-(Special.)- )-In con- sldering the progress of the Southern cotton manufacturing industry as re- lated to the building of new mills and the enlargement of old plants during the past three months, a creditable de- gree of activity is noted in this weeks issue of The Manufacturers Record, which says:
 The third quarter of the year com prising July August and September, has resulted in announcements showing total of 119,So4 new spindles. This is 12.O0O less than the number reported during the third quarter of 1903. In previous references to quarterly mill progress The Manufacturers Record has remarked upon the significant fact that the greater part of the spindIes be- ing added to the Souths quota are those being installed by established and successful cotton manufacturing com panies, rather than by new corpora tions During the past quarter this tendency has been especially marked as only about 29.00o out of the 119.s04 spindles are credited to new companies, and of this number some 5000 are to be installed in one plant in North Caro- lima. Although this plant Is a new one it's protector is one of the experi- enced manufacturersso the South, hav- ing for years managed an important plant.
 The total of 11s.sO4 spindles for the quarter will require an investment of

and asked that the cause be removed to

and asked that the cause be removed to the Federal Court for trial
 Judge Jones heard the petition and dismissed it. remanding the cause back to the State court for trial. From this order Etheredge appealed to the United States Supreme Court and his appeal was there dismissed for want of prose- cution and the cause again remanded to the State courts for trial.
 Then began the final scene in the drama. When the case was called for trial at the July term of the Circuit Court of Lawrence County, 1t was found that the indictment against Etheredge for burglary, together with the record book of indictments-a book of more than 300 pages-was gone from the vault of the clerks office. The grand jury was in session and another indictment was quickly returned. The defendant was placed on trial against his protest, his attorneys holding that the indictment and all action under 1t was void on account of the unconsti- nationality of the Lusk bill"
 Though represented by some of the best lawyers in the State, the defendant was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of two years. Here it was thought that the end of the trail had been reached. but the fight ing blood of the Etheredge race had net yet turned cold. An appeal was prayed and granted to the Supreme Court of Alabama. and while pending there, the famous decision on the Lusk bill was rendered. As the defendants last indictment and trial were had un- der this law. as soon as 1t was declared void writ of habeas corpus was sued out and upon a hearing yesterday, Cir cult Judge Speake ordered the defen- dant discharged upon giving a bond in the sum of $750, which he, promptly gave.
 The statute of limitations appears to be complete and it Is doubtful if the defendant will ever again be placed on trial for this offense. If guilty, his pun ishment seems to have been full. If innocent, he has suffered more 8than enough. No matter what one may believe about the guilt or innocence of the defendant. the fighting blood of the Etheredge family commands his atten- tion. Through all of the trials and tribulations of this man, none of his friends deserted him once. Wife, chill dren. father and brothers were with him to the end and the motto of the Corsican Brothers, "one for all and all for one" might well have been theirs

1t Is in Paraguay, Where the
Demand for Husbands Is Great.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-While in Asun-
eon, the capital Of Paraguay. no longer a 90
than last April, I received no intimation
OF an impending revolution. Through
out Paraguay one is 30 impressed with the
excess Of women over men that he wonders
where the revolutionists come from.
There are two causes for the scarcity
Of men. The first dates back to the time
when the dictator Gen. Lopez forcad
biz country into four years war with
the oonfederated armies of Brazil. Argen-
tina and Uruguay. SO long Il struggle
against such odds proved very destructive,
and at It's expiration the proportion CT
men to women was as one to twenty.
Although this long war closed thirty
i've years ago the excess Of women is still
noticeable. / was told that as recently
as twenty years ago it was with great re-
1uotance that any male visitor W as allowed to
depart.
II the women could not through their
hospitality induce him to stay they would
forcibly detain him, so much were hus-
bands in demand. Paraguay thus became
the lazy mans paradise.
The climate and the fertility Of the soil
assure this condition. 1t Is possible to
live without labor aside from such as may
be involved in the gathering Of foods pro-
v,ded by nature.
When lazy man can have some one to
do this for him. and perhaps SOW little
tobacco, what more can he ask? This
tendency to life OF ease is the second
reason why one sees so few people save
women either about the streets and markets
Of the capital city or about the railroad
stations In tho country.
At the market any morning perhaps a
thousand women may be seen engaged in
trade. Not salesman is to be seen. kven
the beeves, which hang in halves, are handled
entirely by women.
AL are barefooted. They come to market
from the suburbs on little burros which
bear panniers Of fruit or vegetables, and
they sit between the panniers with their
hare feet hanging out in front.
Looking from the balcony of my hotel
at an early morning, / saw women emerge
from the houses with baskets on their heads,
all going to market to purchase the days
provisions. Frequently one sees a bare
footed woman with a child in her arms,
a basket on her head and large cigar in
her mouth. The cigar smoking habit is
very common among them, but there is
evidently some diffidence on the subject.

material of which the human skeleton Is
would be unknown. One could even fall
from fourth story window without SUI
fering an injury.
Mrs. La Croix here told OF an incident
which, she thought, went to prove In a
remarkable manner that there was some
thing in this theory. At one period. she
said, she had become an out and out frugi-
vor- had eaten not a thing but nuts and
raw fruits for nine months while away
on a theatrical tour.
On returning home she went to her
dentist to have a tooth repaired. a cavity
having started some months before. When
the dentist tried to cut away little OF the
enamel of the tooth from around the cavity
be found to his amazement that his instru-
ment could make no impression upon it.
1t was only after long effort that he sue
ceeded in removing even the small portion
necessary. He said that he had never
before encountered such hard enamel.
and as Mrs La Croix' teeth had not been
remarkable for their strength in the past,
he was naturally astounded.
When she explained to him what her diet
had been he did not hesitate to declare that
the improved condition OF her teeth was un-
douhtedly due to the refined salts which are
found in abundance in fruit and nuts.
at is these refined salts which not only
harden the bones. but make body we'll

special inquiry. She produced a salts
factory list Of relatives in New York: but,
being a truthful woman. she spoiled her
chance by confessing that she had husband
in prison in the old country. Upon this
she was excluded
Her relatives in New York thereupon
got writ OF habeas corpus. 1t was served
at the moment OF sailing, but through some
misunderstanding the steamer went of
with Carmelita in 1t.
When she reached Naples II was to find
an order from the United States Govern.
ment instructing the steamship COMPANY
to bring her back again. Her friends
gathered around her in vast surprise. Had
she committed a homicide in America2
Had she hoen guilty OF some crime during
her stay that the United States Government
demanded her return?
But, no, said poor Carmelita, In tears;
she had been in prison all the time she was
in America; how. then. could abe commit
a crime' Poor Carmelita thought the
detention room was a prison, and won.

Of New Workers who are interested in New

Mr. and Mrs. Emile La Crois, who have

In the matter Of food reform. They might
be described as vegetarians who eat no
vegetables or grains of any sort. They
call themselves frugivors.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. La Croix are actors
by profession, and the pretty little cottage
ut Coytesville is their temporary summer
residence while new house is being erected
for them short distance beyond, just

and rosy cheeks. His wife is also the pict-

color.

La Croix has made them her principal diet
during the same period, though she some
times partakes Of fresh cooked vegetables.
Neither has touched meat for eight years.
