I There is an ancient saying, current among sailors. that. monkeys can speak. but refrain from doing so lest they should be compelled to work. Aaron ..Iiowells. who owns :1 cherry farm near ti~sheu, N. Y.. remembered this when, a year agn he began to teach a couple 1 .' int-:e monkeys to pick his fruit. The influx of {‘aiifornia fruit to the eastern trinkets has gradually so seriously r. due «I the profits at the growers on the .‘lstnntic rcnbtmt'tl that it became evident ~ t.‘ at the wages of hired pickers would A eat it nearly all up. Incidentally, Former Howells mentioned this to his cousin, aim is the captain of an East India trader saifing lrom Boston. Cap- lain Iloweiis replied that, on some of the islands near Siam, ho had seen monkeys that had been trained to pick f1 nit and did their work well. He saw no reason uhy the creatures should not be similarly utiliZed in Orange county. Farmer Howells nus Very skeptical. but wlwn. on his cousin's rtturn from his llz'Kt vovagr, he. brought home with him too very big Siamese apes. he began to instruct them at once. They learned v-ry rapidly and now the owner thinks Il.1:_‘,' save him as least fifty Coats :1 day each. They climb better. pick more, and eat less than the boys. Each mon- key has a bag that contains about five ymuuds of fruit slung around his waist They go up a tree like a rocket, said Fdr. Howells. anti, when their bags are full. they come down like a stick. A heap of empty sacks on the grass is ready for them, and they help themselves and return to their work. Moreover, with their toil, the farmer thinks, they have broken their silence. and, though he Cannot yet understand what they say, he. is quite sure that they hold animated conversations with each other. They certainly chatter away. and that there is a spirit of rivalry between them is t-iidcnt. When one plucks more cher- ries than the other he is somewhat offen- sively triumphant and his companion is proportionately dejected. Mr. Howells encnut'nL'L‘S competition by giving the in we successful monkey something extra for his supper. “9+0. An Expensive Pig Pen. Probably the most expensive pig pen ever made was recently completed at tho " Harmonist " Community, at Econ- nmy, Pa. A local paper there describes it. ” The cost of the pen or nursery. up to date, is 33.000. It is constructed not only on sanitary principles, but with special regard to each and every porker which finds a place within its walls. It is heated by two large stoves, and the t‘utll‘t.‘ pen is covered with a glass roof with proper ventilators. The feeding room is separated from the rest of the pen, and everything is kept scrupulously cit-1n by two attendants. whose sole duty is to take care of the pigs, and look after the heating and ventilating of the build- ing. At present the pen contains 300 as fine young porkers as can be seen anywhere. They seem to thrive in their well kept home, and appear to realize their superiority over newcomers, which they eye with disdain." wâ€"~--â€"â€"~>. - .- Max Lituou, who was a Hebrew banker Worth 500,000 roubles in Russia, Is now working tor $7 a week lor 11 Chi- cago firm.

FOR FARMERS .

The London Mutual pays only $60. 3. Porn cow worth $30 killed by light- ning the Royal Canadian pays $30. The . London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the loyal Canadian pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not m-o-e than $5, no matter how valuable. the animal I may be. I 4. In the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at pasture anywhere. In the London Mutual they are insured while posturing on the premises of the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specifically. such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only twothird of the cash value, no matter what the i11â€" surnnec may be. 6. When “ ordinary contents " of out buildings are insured by the loyal Canadian ALL implements are included. In the Lou- dou Mutual only one reaper and one mower are included, no matter how good others may be. 7. When the outbuildings are not joiutd to each other the Royal Canadian insures under one sum the -‘ ordinnry contents " ot all building not cut ofl‘byu distance great- er 111111140 it., the some as it' the contents were all under one roof. The London 1111- tnal requires a Separate sum on the cou- teuts of each building, if the distance is more than 12 ft. This is a very important difference in many cases. 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a part of the contract that standard srnan 'rntuzsnsm- may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stacks or buildings, caretakers, pails of water, kintl of fuel or direction of the wind. Many of the policy holders in the London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, be- cause it was found to be impossiblclo comâ€" ply wilh the conditions of their permit. When a farmcrpnys forinsurance he should secure a policy which will hold him safe when it is 111051. required. 0. The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within sixty days and usually takes much less. The London Mutual need not. pay for ninety days, uutl since it has become so hard up as to be obliged to bor- row mouey largely, it usually takes about the full time allow0d. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against. the policy-holder printed in red ink 011 the back ofthc London Mutual policy. 11. As to security, the inspector of insu- rance reports that the Royal Canadian hurt $202,758, the amount he estimates to be necessary to enable the company to carry out all its engagements with its policy holders. Besides this he reports that it has to the gootl the $100,000 capital paid in cash by the slmreholdcrs, and a net surplus $117,007 making in all a total cash surplus of $517,607 to protect its policy-holders against. unexpected contingencies. 111 ad- dition to these cash items it has a subscrib- ed capital of $100,000 not called up. Ile- garding the security of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount of unearned premium it should have on hand is $200,309. To nmkc up this amount in cash a second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a large amount, leavingn. surplus of only $71,318, even if there were no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly of the unpnitl balance of pr. miunr notes ulreatty heavily assertsed. The Company reports the Itsscs adjusted but unpaid at the close of the year at $0,- 387, but the Inspector of lnstnancc limit that the liability for unpaid losses at the end of the year was $20,286. The ca.~h on hand to pay these losses only amounttd to $13,911. In view of the foregoing facts human will lmvc 11o dillienlty in deciding on to the company in which they should be insured.
