Some years since there was no
little excitement throughout the
South. caused by the announcement
that monkeys had been proved to be
wholly capable a. cotton pickers and
Of course much cheaper than native

false, until finally some newer and
later sensation relegated this one to
forgetfulness.

Time Hoeorcd Csc for Ecroscnc.

A FIRE occurred on premises rented by
Jews in London. The circumstances
were somewhat suspicious and an agent
of the Insurance company was sent to
invcstigaAe. He interviewed the senior
partner, and also the junior partner. as
to the probable cause of the fire. This
is his report: Il find that the senior
partner thinks It was caused by an arc
light on the second floor; the junior
partner thinks it was caused by an in
candcseent light on the first floor-but
my opinion is that it was caused by an
Israeiite in the bascment!'
