The merchants & Miners Trans- portation Co., expects to get a line of ships running between Baltimore and Jacksonville about the first of June. A big mortgage has been filed at DeLand on the whole Fla. East Coast system to secure a bond issue of 40 millions of dollars. It was recorded May 8th. Mr. Frank Byrd cashier of the new Hastings bank evidently thinks there is money in farming as he has purchased this week the Buckeye* farm at Hastings. K.

The Twenty-Second Annual Meet- ing of the Florida State Horticultu- ral Society will convene at Daytona on May 18, 19, 20, 21. The meetings of the Society have been growing in Importance and Interest from year 'to year, and the twenty-second meet- ing promises to be no exception to this rule. The railroads have granted to the members a rate of one fare plus 25 cents for the round trip, and hotels are making a rate of from $1.00 to $2.00. The people of Daytona are prepariingto entertain the inemnbers with a steamer ride on the famous Halifax River, and also to give then automobile rides through the beauti- ful avenues surrounding the city. Besides the attractions that the Daytona people can give, the mem- bers can enjoy all pleasures that a beautiful beach can furnish where both fishing and bathing can be en- joyed between the meetings. Any person Interested in Florida can become a member by remitting $1.00 to the Secretary, which will entitle them to a certificate of mean- bership and a copy of the proceed- ings when they are published. Send $1.00 to E. 0. Painter, Secretary, Jacksonville, and be sure to send it at least three days before the first day of the meeting. The one fare plus 25cts for round trip as above is also good over the East Coast at least for anyone who wants to visit Daytona regardless whether they are members of the society or not. ErITOit. Three or four carm of California grapefruit arrived and prices were rather low. The fruit is not giving satisfaction and the trade is not taking to it in the usual way. Re- cent arrivals have been thick-skin- ned, overripe and, as a rule, not as Juicy as they should be. Quotations were around $1.50 to $3.00. Seedlings are in moderate supply and range $1.00 to $2.50. Bloods sold $1.76 to to $2.75, and St. Michaels, which have been in moderate supply and demand, ranged $1.66 to $3.20. There are only a few Florida Florida Va- lencia Lates coming. Good stock is selling mostly around $8 to $4.00, with some extra fancy as highly as $6.60. The season isa about over. Grapefruit continues in good de- mand and the market is cleaned up of anything desirable. Fine, reg- ular erop fruit is selling $4.60 to $6A.(4 with a little extra fancy exceeding these figures.-New York Packer. Tl IEM E vIM m LLAB A WSTMIUT. Fruit and Vegetable Market. The New York Packer of Saturday gives following quotations on Flor- ida products on the New York mar- ket: "Late Valencia Florida oranges were in heavy receipt this week,. and price l held steady under a good de- mand. The 9&s and 126s were as a rule of very fine quality and stronig- ly competed with California oranges of the saame siizes. 'Tlie best oranges oil the NNew York market at tlie pres- ent time iin 96. and 126s, are the late Valencla.s from Florida iand some big prices we're realized on t hese SIzes, sollie of whirilh brought, (,on the street, as high as $6. -'Ree ilpts of Florida pineapples showed a decided increase. Twenty fours were especially eanvy, and brought $2(a2.50. Prices on other sites ranged from $1.765a 2 for 81s and about $1.76 for 86s. "r There was a free mnovemnient of old grapefruit, with russets ranging from $5(d-6.50 and brights, fancy, selling up to $7. '"Receipts of Florida tomatoes dropped off, but the trade looks for arrivals from new sections in a few days. The demand for fancy toma- toes was very good and $2.60 was easily obtained. The bulk of the offorings of fancy stock, however, sold at $2, with choice selling at $1.60. "(lreen beans brought $1(a l.A ) and wax $1.60( 1.75. Fancy cucumbers sold at $1.25(d 1.75 and choice $1 per basket. Prices on other Florida products were: Eggplants $2(,c2.50, peppers $1.60(<2, white squash $1.50 a crate, and potatoes $3(a 4. "Florida corn showed up on tihe market this week, but some of the receipts were so worm eaten that they would dot bring enough to pay freight. For good stock prices ranged from $3(i4 per hundred. There will really be no very great demand for corn, until receilpts from Florida show better quality or until North Carolina corn starts to come." The East Florida Savings & Trust Co., at Palatka, has just installed a a fine burglar-alarm system in their vault. Any tampering with the vault will wake up the whole town, as the gongs can be heard for blocks. The Florida delegation who went to California to investigate the Call- fornia methods of handling Citrus fruits have returned. Committees have been appointed and will report at the Tampa meeting June 1st. No doubt much of this Imformation will be given out at the Horticultural Society's meeting at Daytoua next week. J. P. Sauer & Co., of New York, have recently moved to new and larger quarters. Their many New York friends in the commission hus- inies gave theim a roUiinig lhoLie- warmnin g.

Sail For Mignonette. Mignonette is a capricious flower and thrives only under the most proper treatment. Most hardy an- nuals will grow in any ordinary bor- der soil with only quite common care, but the mignonette is not to be treated cavalierly. To make sure that It will succeed you need soil that in the first place has been well dug and afterward made firm, while If some lime and brick rutble have been mixed with the border so much the better. Mg- nonette will thrive only in well drain- ed ground made firm, and It is es- pecially fond of a little lime in the soil.-Throne and Country. 'This year marks the tercentenary of the development of Galileo's tele- scope in practical shape for solentitfl purposes. Osming in from East Liberty on a train were two men who apparently were old friends and who met in a jovial mood Both men were quite gray, but each had a luxuriant head of hair. Near them sat a stout par. ty with a shining dome that was almost destitute of hirsute covering. The two friends exchanged face- tious remarks about slivered locks, then indulged In some pleasantries about the "thinning of the thatch," with casual references to doorknobs and billiard balls, couch to the amuse- ment of the passengers, but to the evident discomfiture of the bald-head- ed man.

There are more suicides among Protestaats than Catholics, more among Roman than Greek Catholics. more among Greek Catholics than Jews. There are more kinds of misery. in ,New York, Dr. Devine declared, than *M4lton Imained in his "Hell." Contrary to the idea tJat misery is a retribution for a man's or his par- ents' misdeeds, Dr. Devine stated that It depended largely on condi- tions which society could control. Dr. Devine discussed at length the ( statement of a probation officer that nine-tehths of the misery in New I York could be traced to the social evil. He pointed out the fact that since the framing of the irodel law In 19i0 by William Baldwin and the Committee of Fifteen to' protect the children In the tenements there hall not been one single conviction. Of 1,004 complaints, 811 were dismissed by the Tenement House Department, 274 were dismissed by the Corpora- tion Counsel, only 9 were brought to trial, and they 'were acquitted. * "The complete uninforcement is a most unfortunate breakdown of mu- nalepal government," Dr. Devine de- clared and he said that the part of the police courts in it was "a miser. able fIasoo."--New York Times. A Footnote to History. The open season is at hand, and no. nla all the angling clubs tall stories are to be heard, said Commissioner George M. Bowers of the Bureau of Fisheries in Washington. "I heard a group of anglers boasting and wriagling the other right. A pale grave man, after listlenin to them for some time, said -pilotly: " swallowed Jonah?' "'What's the use wondering about that? Nothing definite's known,' said a trout Asherman rudely. 'Boy's,' he went om, she Utipped the beam-' "'Look here,' the grave man inter.- rupted, 'I know what became of that "'Humph! What?' said the trout "'For the rest of his life he made a bore of himself telling all the other Waless how the largest mn he ever S emght wriggled loose and got away." -Niew York Times.

It was repted sen weeks ao that seven of the leading hotels of New York cdty, owing ta complaints of guests, had dscontinudd the use of California grown naval oranges sub- stituting therefore the juicy and well flavored oranges so liberally supplied this season from Florids. The Call- fornia fruits were criticized as too dry and tasteless. Patrons of these great land expensive hotels demand the highest quality of viands that can be procured, and buyers are ever on the alert for the best the market affords. An explanation of the poor quality Is thai several considerable quantities of the finest appearing navals were fronted, before picking, reaultUig in the loss of Juice and flavor without other distinguishable defects. There was unusual cold in the California na- val distrlcti about the ripening sea- son and it may the that oranges were shipped east that should not have been put on the market, bu there Is a growing suspicion that the eatin quality of the California naval orantit, even at its best, will not bear compar- ison with the choicer seed-containing varieties from Florida. For the first time since the calamitous freeze ot 1894 that all but annihilated the eas- tern orange Industry, we have had Florida oranges enough 'to supply ful- ly the principal eastern markets. They been so satisfactory that the seedless navals were barely salable, Notwithstanding their great size and fine appearance, and In fact were not offered In quantity until the Florida crop was practically sold out. The commercial qualities of the naval oranges are admirable. It Is an ex- cellent shipper and a goo4 keeper un- der ordinary conditions of handling and exposure for sale. Dealers and peddlers much prefer It to othem, but consumers have grown restless as re- gards its generally Insipid flavor and discriminate in favor of the more palatable kinds when they may be had. As the navels are long keepers they are now held until the Florida-. are cleaned up and only the Mediter- ranean imports remain to be com- peted with. Occasionally navals are Juicy and pleasant enough to be com- pared to the best eastern fruits, but on the whole the variety ase rown In the. pacific coast region is likely to rank with the Klefer pear, the Ben Davis apple, the Klbertfjeach and the Concord grape-all W shippers and cheaply produced, but of ordinary or inferior quality.-The Rural New Yorker.

Hunt Harris of Key West. The resolution sets forth that the enactment of such a law would make it Impossible for the pilot commis- sioners to fix the pilotage fees in their respective ports and would pre- vent the placing of the fees at the most reasonable and lowest rates commensurate with the amount of work to be accomplished by the pilots. This resolution together with a simi- lar one adopted by the Tampa Board of Trade was sent to Tallahassee and the legislators urged to defeat the measure. If the present legislature agrees that a revision of the constitution Is needed. It will still be 1911 before Florida will have a mew constituUlou. If it does not, It will be at least no earlier than 1914 toe the revised luastrumt ea be submitted to the peo le eor aeptan or rejcUoe. I -. 4.. * 2~ SLved "it Y*.

Rowley's. tf Prominent men in Pensacola and in other cities of the south, as well as the north and east, are working to secure executive clemency for Man- ager W. S. Harlan of the Jackson Lumber company at Lockhart, who, unless a pardon is granted him, will have to serve eighteen months in the federal prison at Atlanta, and in ad- di ion pay a fine of $5,000. That every- thing possible will be done to secure a pardon for Mr. Harlan goes without saying, as he is one of the most prominent and wealthy lumbermen of the Eouth, and his family one of the most honored in the country, his un- cle being one of the supreme court justices of the United States. In ad- dition to being manager of the JacK- son Lumber company, which num- bpra among its stockholders men prominent in political and business world, Mr. Harlan is himself a heavy holder of stock in the concern. The fine of $5,000 would be readily paid, if the prison sentence is commuted. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Tep)orts from Hastings are to the effect that the Irish potato crown is fast being harvested and shipped to the northern markets. Up to the pres- ent it is estimated that a trifle less than one-half of the crop has been disposed of. The aggregate of seven- ty thousand barrels have already been sent out of Hastings and it is estimated that another eighty thous- and remains to be shipped, making a total of about one hundred and fifty thousand, or twice the amount of last year's crop. The prices hold up well, most of the growers selling their crops outright for $3.50 a barrel, while others are shipping on consignment. Every one will realize between $3 and $3.50 a barrel for their potatoes and consequently every farmer will make handsome profits.

In fact, the mining subsidence have played strange tricks with hou&e property In the Black Country. It is said the house owes its name to the late Mr. Gladstone and his brother-in-law, Mr. Stephen glynne, who jointly carried on in years gone by an important ironworks in the neighborhood. The house itself is of a very un- pretentious character, and Is built of red brick. One end 13 supported by large stone buttresses. Entering at the front door, the visitor ascends a pair of stone steps into a somewhat wide passage, where the fun begins; for this passage has been rendered so uneven that he who traverses it lurches about from side to side like a landsman on board ship in a storm. After a struggle the coffee-room Is reached, and here the visitor i attill more bewildered. The laws of gravi- tation seems to be an unknown quau- tity. A table stands by the window, apparently at a great slant, yet a marble placed upon it at the lower end runs rapidly up the table and falls over the higher side. A clock upon the table stands at an angle to Its support, but it ticks comfortably, the pendulum swings regularly, and the hands show the correct time. A shelf In the taproom seems to lean at an angle of many degrees toward the kitchen door; but place a marble upon the centre of it, and It stands there quite stationary. There is a legend that relates how a beggar who was laboriously pro- pelling himself along the road with a S par of erutches uttered a loud and dismal shriek upon coming In sight of the house and, throwing away his cruthes, stampeded across the Black Oouatry fast as his good sound e o ea~Md arry him.

A new piece of kitchen furniture has recently been Invented and is be. ing shown, which combines the func- tions of the fruit press and colander, with which ft will be found possible to greatly simplify many of the cul- inary tasks. It is designed for the removal of seeds and skins from grapes, tomatoes and apples, ricing potatoes, extracting juices from fruit, smoothing laundry starch and a hun- dred other uses which will suggest themselves from time to time to the ingenious housekeeper and servant. The device is mounted on a tinned malleable iron standard, which is pro- vided with clamps by which it is firm. ly attached to the table by a single motion of the lock lever. The broken view shows the interior of the recep- tacle, and the spiral blade which operates as a press, the pressure be- ing regulated by the tension spring.

Mor- gan, a lawyer of P"eecott, Arlz. 'It was known as the old Gen. ,Crook house. lnd was owned by the Gov- ernment Gen. Crook occupied the house' for several months, and it was on just a windy day as that of the sale that Gen. Crook rode away from the house in March 1885. "The building was a nondescript style of architecture, constructed of stucco, adobe and frame. It was roomy and comfortable, with lofty ceilings and bsy windows, through whicb could be seen the snow cover- ed peaks of the mountains on one side and Thumb Butte and the city of Prescott on the other. The house eontilned more than 40.000 feet of lumber, and among other modern con- veniences it had two bathtubs. "While Gen. Crook was the ocen- .pant of the house he was engaged In a long and diicult campaign against the lndlans. The old building Is still well preserved. When the auc- tioneer announced the sale the bid- ding started at $50, and this figure was raised from time to time, until it reached $180. at whi.h sum It was knocked down to the proprietor of .- hotel. What the purchaser purposes to do with the house I don't know, but he was told ehat it must *be removed shortly, as the Government would no longer be responsible for its safety. "Ibe house cost probably more than $90,000. Every foot of the lumber in it was freighted from Los Angeles at a cost of 10 cents a pound. It was considerably enlarged after Gen Crook left it. The latter's successor, Gen. Kgutz. lived in itfor a long time, but It has nct been occupied for a number of years. At the time of its construction a guard of soldiers had to patrol the vi-cinity constantly to keep away the Indians. There was not a person at the sale who did not express regret that the Government should not allow thee old house to re- main.-Washington Post. Mr. Barrie's Apology. Jim. Barrie lives in London, in a small, quaint house in Iincaster Gate. Just across the Bayswater Road is Kensington Garden. There in the Kensington ,Broadwalk the play- wright takes his morning troll among the flowers and the flowerlike chil- d ren. One morning in the Broadwalk an American lady twitted Mr. Barrie upon the thrifty way he uses ,jokes and episodes over and over again, ex- ploding in "What Every Woman Knows." for instance, the samr wit- ticism that has already figured in "The Admirable ('rihton." In "My Lady Niootine," and in "Sentimental Tommy." Mr'. Barrie said with a laugh, that his nationality was to blame. "I am a Scot," he said, "and we Scots abhor waste.

A* soon as the lawyer himself picked up the receiver, ,before he could make / . any Inquiries, she began: "Oh, please . tell me, must there not be two copies of a lease?" "Why," he answered. "it is usual to give one to the landlord's agent and one to the lessee. But who are-?" "Yet, the fact that the wife of the lessee had never seen a copy of the lease wouldn't keep it from being legally binding?" "No." slipped from the lawyer, who quickly added: "But before I discuss the matter further may I ask to /. whom?" There was a pretty little laugh- he admits It was pretty even now. "Oh, I'm-Mrs. Brown, and I live- on Broad way. You don't know me," -it was obvious, likewise, that he wouldn't-"but I've always heard your advice was so very valuable, and I wanted a lawyer, and so I just called you up.

Not long ago three priests discov- ered the skull of this progenitor of Adam at Chapelle-aux-Sints. Sci- entists have made a study of it, and declare that this earliest of known humans had a right to think well of himself, although he would hardly fit into a modern drawing room. "Take him for all and all, he was a man." He made a fair use of his opportuni- ties, and did not attack animals that he could not subdue. lie gave his children a good hunting education, and perhaps taught them the rudi- ments of art-how to scratch pictures on stone. Up to the present time seniority among human relics belonged to those found in Neanderthal,. Ger- many, in 1856, and in Spy, Belgium, thirty years later. 'When the wcan- derthal skull was found Darwinisnm was In its infancy, and niuu were rather ashamed to acknowledge th'ir ancestors. To-day they ,rc eager to trace back the relatimonhip am far au possible. The Neaud'-rthal skull has. a capacity of somun 13'0 cubic, centi- metres, and Ihli Is about the capacity of the Chapelle-aux-Saint s peelimen. Modern man averages 1500, with ruvler's and Lord Blyron's expand- ing to 1800, while the Australian aborigine drops down to 1400. The best brain cavity that tho unlike apes can show is 600 cubic centi- metres. The Chapelle-aux-Salunts headpiece was found in one of the numerous limestone caves of the Correso dis- trict, amid flint stones and the bones of deer and bison. Tho geological level was about the same as that in which the Neanderthal and Spy bones were discovered. Together with the skull, some vertebral and hip boned were unearthed, which led M.

"What is more," said Miss Belle- ville, tft woman In question, recently, "my father and mother before me earned a very good income by pro- viding London with the correct time. As a matter of fact, mray curious little bushiese originated some seventy years ago. In those days it was ex- tremely difficult to obtain the exact time fit London. The pricipeal watch- and clock makers 'had nothing to guide them. If they sent to the Greenwleh Observatory there was no outside clock, and the department, of course, did not exist for the purpose of sup- plying watchmakers with the time. "Ultimately Mr. Pond, the astron- omer royal of the period, was ap- proached and asked If anything could' be done. My father, John Heary Belleville, was at that time chef as- sistant of the astronomer royal, and also a ward of his, and Mr. Pond sug- gested to him that on certain days my father should take around the right time to London firms by means of a cotected chronometer. "This my father did, the firms pay- ing him a stipulated amount per an- num, and the Innovation proved so successful that, at the time of his *death, he was drawing an Income from this source of between 400 and 500 a year. After his death my mother was granted the privilege of having her chronometer corrected ait Greenwich whenever she pleased, in order that she might carry on the business of timekeeper, and when she gave it up in 1892 I took her place, and have carried on the business ever since, with the permission of Sir Wil- liam Christie. the present astronoTmer royal." Every Monday morning Miss Belle- ville goes from Maidenhead, where she resides, to the Observatory at Greenwich, and is there given an of- ficial document saying that her chronometer differs from mean time by. so many seconds and tenths of sec. onds. Such a favor is granted to no other person, and, armed with this exclusive credential. -Miss Belleville sallies forth to correct the timepieces of London. She has about forty customers is the city. and to each she repairs in turn and permits them to correct their time in accordance with that of her own chronometer anti the official doc- ument. And from the. forty custom- ers whom Miss Belleville visits for this purpose the rest of Indon gets its time, for the customers include such firms as Dent's-the makers of lig Ben-Benson's, etc. To the "Tit-Bits" man Miss Belle- ville showed the chronometer which enables her to carry on her unique business. It is a watch of the "tur- nip" type, and of very venerable ap- pearance. Its history is decidedly in- teresting. "It was made," said its owner, "iu 1835 by Arnold, one of the most fa- mous watchmakers that ever lived, for the Duke of Sussex, a son of George i1I. After possessing it a short time the noble owner discarded it because it was too clumsy, and my father bought it at a fancy price. At that tiIV the chronometer"ad a gold case, b my father had it replaced by a sil- ver one, as he had to visit many Lon- don slums, and thought it would be safer if It looked less imposing. "Is my business still a success, you ask? Oh, yes. otherwise I should not carry It on. You see, although there are some firms which have had their oloeks electrically synchroaised, there are others who do not earn for the Idea, and are still glad to have the ss.tasMs of my *roaometer, and If I a1eglet to call they ses send for me.

San Mateo has good shelled roads and miles of hard sidewalks. Beauty; ful wateroaks line both qides of streets, and meet overhead In many Twp churches, public and private schools, telegraph, telephone, express, money order postoffice, three mails daily, meat market, two general stores, who take orders and deliver goods at your door, weekly paper. The place is incorporated, ,but np town taxes have been collected for over ten years; the many public im- provements are made by the push and generosity of the citizens and pulling together. The state and county taxes are about 20 mills on about one-third valuation. Good hunting and fishing, deer, tur- key, ducks and quail, black bass uaid other Florida fresh water fish. Good boarding house, Byrlyn Place, open winters; rates eight to ten dol- lars per week; $2.00 day. * Six thousand people went through the San Mateo Fruit Company's grove hero last season. One of the best advantages San Mateo enjoys is transportation; being on both river and rail is an advantage that few Florida points enjoy. The past season, for instaaoe, railroads and terminals at Jacksonville were more than congested and fruit ship- ped from points down the central part of the state was, in some cases, three weeks getting to Jacksonville, on route to northern markets, and did not bring enough to pay freight, while San Mateo shippers, at same time, would ship from here one day and have fruit go out of Jacksonville on the Clyde slip the next. This lit- tle matter this season alone was worth thousands of dollars to the San Mateo growers and the homeseeker will do well tu bear in mind trans- portation and cheap rates that coma with competition, in selecting a Flor- ida locatonU. The population is about $50, who came mostly frum the northern states. As a class they are men of means, progressive and sociable.

Chappelle, a former Tri-State pitcher, is making good with the Boa- tons. The Newark club has bought the release of Pitcher John Flater from the Athletics. Connie Mack is of the opinion that Baker will be the best third base- man he ever has had. Manager Fred Clarke, of the Pitts- burgs, freely admits that Cincinnati has a much improved team. Willie Keeler is a good waiter this year as usual, and has 'been garner- ing not a few bases on balls. "Kitchell will make the best catch- er in the Eastern League before long," says Manager Wolverton. The New York club has turned Roger Bresnahan't younger brother, Phil, over to the Portsmouth club. In New York they say that Schlel is a good catcher, but hasn't the whooping-up spirit of Roger Bresna- han. The Pittsburg club has secured tcher Stratton from New Orleans in exchange for a claim on Catcher Schriver. Young Beck, of the Boston Na- tionals, is a pretty lively person around the first sack.

It was heavier than usual and she was in no l mood for wading through a mass of false sentiment and untutor- ed pleading. She smiled a cynical little smile as she drew the chair up to the desk and reached for the slender blade G: steel that she used as an envelope opener. It seemed funny that the Dally Solar should assign her to advise the lovelorn when she herself was so poorly advised.

She had felt that she could not bear to see Ned struggling along while she forged ahead, and she had told him so when she had Joined the staff of the Dally WEfar. There had been" talk then of great things that' wore to be done for her, and Ned had bluntly demanded that she chose be tween a career and himself. She had ohosB*n the career to re- gret It ever after, for he had flung hinse:f out of tier presence, and she had not seen him since. She hat heard that he had gone west, but they never had had friends in com- mon, and none of her acquaintances could tell her anything of his where- abouts. bhe pondered over the letter until the striking of the clock warned her that she must get to work, so laying the letter aside, she reluctantly rals- ed the cover of -her desk and slipped a sheet of paper Into the machine. Rapidly she answered the more prom- ising of the other letters, then she stopped and again took up the case that was so like her own. She.waq still looking at it when one of the copy boys stopped at her desk. "Mr. Velt says he'd like to (have your copy if it is ready, Miss Patton," hlie announced. "He wants to get the department stuff In ear'y to leave the machines free for the murder trial." "In just a moment," she promised with a guilty glance at the clock andl then witb an abrupt little gesture of determination she faced the machine again and wrote rapidly. She turned the copy in and hurrleol uptown to a club meeting to which .he had been assigned, but through the day the letter and her answer haunted her thoughts and she could not put them from her mind. It spoiled her sleep, too, for she -could only toss uncomfortably through half the night and rose -with heavy spirits and leaden head in the anu , Ing. In the hope of gaining some re lief she started to walk down the ave nue to the office. She had scarcely turned the corner nearest her apartment than she came to a dead halt, for coming towar-I her was the man whose image had been revived so strongly by the letter. For an instant she thought that it was all a part of the walking night- mare in whikh she had spent the last 24 hours, but the next moment Ned Darlington "was shaking her hands with a grip that was anything but ghostly. "I've been here a whole week," he cried, jubilantly, '"but there were some things to ,be done before I look- ed you up. I was coming to call this 'morning. I did not suppose that you left for the ogloe before 10 at least." "I was not feeling well and I thought that a walk might do me good." she explained, and Nod turned and suited his pago to hers. "Then by all means let us walk," he agreed gayly. "It's been a long time since we used to walk together, Agnes. I suppose that'you don't mind walking with a man with a hat like this?" Agnes gave a glance at the light., soft Stetson that spoke of the west. "You look Ulike a cowboy; but you're not a cowboy to be ashamed of," she said, with admiration.

"I was afraid that you might guess that I had the question sent tn and chuck It into the waste basket. The girl stepographer at the hotel wrote It for me."' Agnes glanced at the answer that had stirred her so strongly.

Strange to say, the sex that clings so obstinately to the matinee hha.t In civilized lands is not the,4ex that decorates Itself with the. pernmnpnt bat of Galma, the men reserving this distinction to themselves. The enormous rivers watering the rich lands ot Papua are very swift, and even the amphibious native at times finds it hard to cross safely. A curious sight was seen recently by a magistrate on patrol duty. Five men carrying large wooden warrior shields wished to cross a very wide and rapid river in high flood, a stream that no white man would have ven- tured into. The ingenious Papuans put all theft goods on a raft, flung their shields in the stream, and bestriding the shields like mermen riding on dolphins, worked their way across the torrent with powerful strokes of the legs, driving the raft, the goods and the Government official safely in front of them. The Papuan does not stop at de- vices as simple as this. In many parts of the country4ie builds excellent sus- pensioi? bridges of strong fibrous creeper hundreds of feet long and spans great rivers and gorges by their means. White carpenters are now at work in the districts around the capi- tal, Port Moresby. bridging the rivers that lie close to the important rubber and coffee plantations with the or- dinary material of civilization, but the Papuan, lopking on at these new fash- ioned ideas. declines scornfully to learn from them and ia turns content- edly to his ancient engineering of "bush rope" and stick.-,Iondon Stand. ard. TRICK OF BRETON WRECKERS. How They Lured Mariners to Destruc- tion on a Dangerous Coast. Along this dangerous coast the hard hearted "Pagani" or wreckers had their settlements. Many are the vessels that have been lured to de- struction by their false lights; many are the drowned whbo met-their deaths through the treachery of those to whom they looked for help. The Pagani were regarded with great aver- slon by the people of neighboring vll- "ageas, ibut they knew no shame. A favorite device was to fasten a lantern to a Imll's borne and then tio the animal's head to his forefeet and drive him along the cliffs. The stumbling movements of the poor beast agitated the lantern in such a manner that to those at sea It re- sembled the light of a ship pitching and tossing on the waters. Other vessels would feel that they could sail *1 N., S:. -S., 5, / -I, I.

The girls. though bothered with questions, told so =oe 'who the guests of honor were. From newspapers and magazines w n cut pictures of famous men and Women of this day; also well-known peronages of 'other days. The gath- erlag was cosmopolitan and not ex. elusive. Royalty hobnobbed with fa GmnO cutthroats, actresses with prom- S Inent divines and kings of finance. SThe pictures were pinned to cur- tains and portleres. and stood in ev- ery available spot in the room. Each picture was plainly numbered and pasted to a white sheet of paper to bring out the effect better. When the twelve guests, six men -: and six girls, arrived, the hosteas passed small trays on which were six pictures of beautiful actresses. Each picture was cut in two parts, half be- ng put on the men's tray and half on the women's tray. After drawing. those whose cards matched were part- ners for introduction to the celebri- ties. Ri1x places of water color paper W ere artistically gotten up as pro- grammes. "Who's Who?" was letter- ed in gilt across the top and number" to correspond to those on tle pictures were lettered in gilt with spaces for answers. The couples were made to affirm S bat they would not give or receive Help In becoming acquainted with th" guests of honor. They were then formally Introduced to "The Celebrl- ti Ues" in a clever speech by one of the hostesses aind given half an hour to learn who they were. Each name guessed was written beside Its cor- responding number on the programme. At the close of the contest each couple passed their card to the girl' and man next them to check off, while one of the hostesses read the correct list aloud. The couple who had the greatest number of celebrities -ir4gt received each a prize. The man got daintily framed picture of a noted beauty and the girl got a head of a ftanous actor. Next the 'party gathered around a tale on which was spread a collec- tion of caricatures of famous persons. a Jch couple was given a fresh and "numbered programme, across the top of whlah one of the hostesses had drawn clever caricatures in wash of the men guests. In twenty minutes the lists were exchanged and read. Prices for this contest were unique. as the hostess drew a caricature of the girl winner for her partner and one of the man for the girl. 'J he contest of the evening that af- Glrded most fun was that of guessing Ielebuities through questions. Name4 of slx noted persons were pinned in emocealon on the back of each guest, igd he wal made to guess who he wa s by the questlona put to him by *. te others. The man and girl who iaeeMd the most. received each a pocket blographbial dictionary.

And not only do the women of Val- alni wear trousers for conventpnce when working in tlihe fields or tramp- ing after cattle, but also on Sundays and fete days.
