crous-looking teams. The wagons are
the most rickety things imaginable.
The one horse ones will carry three or
four persons on a seat. The tops when
new are of canvas, but generally are
nothing but rags. Tapping in the wind.
The harnesses are composed chiefly Of
ropes, and give one the impression that
they have been arranged in order to
present as ludicrous an appearance as
possible.
But the horses! How shall l describe
them? The owners must have got into
as desperate mood before buying as
did the Boston fruit-vender who, after
several unsuccessful investments in
horse bones, vowed that he would have
n good horse, If it cost him five dollars.
Really the sight of some of these poor
bfutes will almost bring tears to ones
eyes. Some time ago. foreigners put in
plea to the Government, asking that
such brutes be not allowed to be used.
So the Government required every
driver to have his horse examined, and
if he was considered decently fair
license was issued allowing him to be
used. But presently it was discovered
that the drivers would bring a good
horse for inspection, and then substitute
| q miserable brute in his place on the
road. Then each horse when licensed
had the license put ON O wooden tag,
which is hung somewhere ON the bride,
and is another ornament to these highly
decorated equipages. Although the
horses now are trifle better than for
merly, still one wonders what the stand
ard of inspection is. No worse beasts
can be seen at Brighton market. These
horses go tearing along the street, for

simply horse-banket used as robe;

A "Smart" Landlady.

Mrs. John. Jay Bernstein, of Chicago,
and her mother were much startled the
other day on receipt of telegram from
Mr.. Bernstein directing her to meet him
with her mother at the Palmer House on
business of importance. In great furry
and hurry the two women arrived at the
hotel, but sought in vain for Mr.. Bern
stein. They hurried to his office, but
he was absent. Then they posted back
home. AS they approached the house a
startling scene met their gaze. On the
sidewalk and in the mud of the street
lay their carpets and furniture, their pict-
ures and clothes, the house door locked
and the house deserted. At last Mr..
Bernstein heaved in sight equally aston
ished. He first procured another tene-
ment and had his household goods re-
moved thereto. Then he began an in
vestigation and found that his landlady,
with whom he had some dispute about
rent. unable to eject him, and asked the
telegraphic operator to write the message
and sign it "Jay." AS soon as the wom-
en- had left the house she entered with
five men and emptied the contents into
the street. She has been arrested for
violating State law which forbids the
transmitting by telegraph of any known
falsehood, under penalty of heavy fine.

Cocoa and Chocolate.


Probably few Of our renders, while
drinking these favorito beverages, have
ever thought TO ask how the plant pro-
duoing them grows. Yet It's culture
forms a large part OF the industry, not
onlyof the great Amazonian valley, but
Of other portions Of tropical South
America.
The cocoa (7heobroma cacao)-the
name signifying flood Of the gods"-is
small tree, or rather large bush, sell
dom exceeding fifteen feet in height, al
though we have seen very old trees
which were thirty feet high. 1t has
large, oblong, taper-pointed leaves,
which, when young, are rosy and very
beautiful. The flowers are small, fra
grant, yellowish, and are borne in cus-
ters on the trunk and larger branches.
The fruit is about twelve inches long,
varying, however, greatly in size, and
about five broad; it is oblong, blunt and
is marked with ten elevated ribs run
ming lengthways, and is, when ripe, of a
bright orange yellow, with hard shell.
Although authorities state that the fruit
contains from fifty to one hundred seeds,
we have never been able to find one con-
tanning fifty; the average is from thirty
to forty-five. These seeds are imbedded
in white, semi-acid pulp, and in size
and shape somewhat resembles almonds;
it is from these seeds that the cocoa and
chocolate of commerce are prepared.
The fruit is. when ripe, gathered by
hand, and broken transversely by alarge
knife; the mass of pulp and seed is taken
out, and is eitherleft for day to slightly

and pressed almost dry; it is then dried
for from one to three days in the sun,
and is then ready for market. A "tipici'
is tube of wickerwork, about eight
feet long, with diameter of about ten
inches; the top is open, and at each end
there is loop; the tube is filed with any
substance to be PRESSED, hung upon q
peg or branch by the upper loop, while
lever, upon which woman sits, is in
serted in the lower loop, the tube con-
tracts, and the juice runs out through
the interstices.
The juice running from the "tipici"
is called "vinho da cacao," or "wine of
cocoa" and is a most refreshing and de-
licious drink; it is slightly acid, aromatic,
and possesses flavor especially its own
Unfortunately, itsoon ferments, and can
be preserved in its freshness for only a
single day; by boiling, however, fer
mentation is checked, but all the delicate
aroma of the wine is lost. II is almost
worth a voyage across the Atlantic to
drink the wine of cocoa in its freshness.
This drink is very healthy, and one can
consume an immense quantity. A SUI
perb white vinegar is also prepared from
the cocoa. The juice is also boiled
down into sauce which in color and
taste much resembles Shaker apple
sauce; and most delicious amber-col-
ored jelly, far superior to guava jelly, is
made from the wine, from which also a
strong and very high-havored brandy is
distilled. The husks contain large
amount of potash, and are burned to
yield a lye which is used in making soap.
Great quantities of the cocoa fruit are
annually destroyed by monkeys and
parrots. which are very fond of the
