They Talk With Monkeys.

That the natives Of darkest Africa
are able to understand and almost to
speak monkey language" is the be-
lief of James Stewart, who has lust
returned from that continent with q
party of surveyors. Stewart explor-
ed the marshes Of the upper Congo
and Liberia, facing frightful perils.
He found that the natives were very
fond Of monkey flesh, and would i'm
itate the monkey talk to attract the
animals and then shoot them.
1T was on the rivers that we
found the monkey tribes" he said.
"An the monkeys chartered with hu-
man-like cries Of anguish, joy and
wrath, and all these cries were imi-
tated by the natives. The black usu-
ally held conversations with the mon
keys, o the latters' confidence and
then slaughtered them"

Richardson by the boafd, of which

More Valuable than Gold.

la 1911, according to the United
States Geological Survey, 1890
ounces Of palladium were produced,
800 ounces from crude foreign and
domestic sands and the rest from the
refining Of copper ores and copper
bullion.
Palladium finds Il fairly large use
in technology. Circles OF astronom'
cal instruments are made Of it, and
it is also employed in Matchmaking.
Its most extensive use is probably
for certain alloys in dental work. 1t
is also employed for soldering plati-
mum metals. AS it is not altered or
discolored by exposure to air it is
often used for plating metal ware.
The demand for this metal is greater
than the supply.
According to the bureau Of statis-
tics, l,21S troy ounces Of palladium
were imported into the United
States in 1911, the value assigned
being $56,307, or $46.22 an ounce.

duct a Farmers Union department.

prices that must inevitably follow a
careful marketing. and took steps to
have the national officials secure
concerted action throughout the cot
ton belt. The committee, regardless

Tho Church and tho Young Farmer
(Churchman.)

What does the church offer the
young man or the young woman of
the farm to-day? In days gone by,
before the coming of automobiles on
the farm, Of telephone, of rural free
delivery. the mules were hitched to
the big wagon" straw was laid in
the bottom for the youngsters and
seats placed for the grown-ups, and
the entire family went to church on
Sunday. Inviting discussion of the
matter, the Northwestern Christian
Advocate, Of Chicago, says: Chang
Ing social conditions and the innoya-
tons Of improved farm machinery,
the introduction Of the automobile,
rural free delivery of mail, the tele-
phone and other important innova-
tons have gradually forced the
church to ask, What must we do to
save ourselves from d~eath?'"
A writer in the United Presbyte-
rian states that from 25 to 70 per
cent OF the farming population in
the prairie States neither belong to a
church nor attend one. He is not so
much concerned in the decline in
the number Of churches as in the
proportion Of the population that is
being reached. Another clergyman,
in the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate, advances the argument that the

the greatest need Of rural life to-day
is play. 1t would seem that the solu-
ton or this problem would be in the
establishing OF what are known in
the cities as Constitutional" or ode
partmental' embellishments pro-
viding not only the usual audito-
RUNS for religious worship, burt with
sufficient room and facilities for in
door recreation.
The Northwestern Christian Adyo-
cate states further: Boys don't
cave the farm because they want to
escape hard work. They are equal
to that, but because there is nothing
but wOrk-hard work and no fun.
Farm life is strenuous now; there
are fewer workers, larger RESPONSE
bilitics and more skill is required.
All this eXhaustS energy, which must
be restored by recreation"
To make the use Of the recreation
facilities effective. the work should
have the direct personal supervision
OF h clergyman and picked layman,
and should be a ministry to the in
tcllectual, physical, spiritual and So
