child was few weeks old, "only you
must call him John"
The father had had his own way with
the other four and il was no more than
fair that he should consult his wife'S

husbands thus eonsiderate. The De-
troit Irija1Se records Il similar in

"Oh. something in silk answered
the husband for her.
The clerk took down a roll OF bright
colored patterns.
''How does that please You, madam?
he asked
No, that is too bright" said the
husband.

asked the clerk, displaying another
roll
No, my wife doesn't like that" he
returned. 1T is too dark.
Again and again the clerk displayed

The Hardest Worker in Jamaica.

EVERYWHERE. where the water is quiet
in bays and harbors. one sees the man
grove at its silent, eeaseless work. The
parent trunk, growing from little
pink stem, shoots up into n low shrub
with wide-spreading branches. clothed
perpetually with glossy green leaves.
From these branches long slender roots
drop into the water beneath, where. IN
the muddy soil at the bottom. they
themselves take root and in turn be-
come trunks and trees. And every
where under the snake-like network of
roots which rise out of the muddy soil,
and in a tangle of branches above, life
is pulsing and rustling. Innumerable
crabs, with long red legs and black
bodies peppered with white spots,
scurry and crawl in and out upon the
rank mud beneath the arching roots,
and droll hermit-crabs draw them
selves with click into the burrowed
houses-strange-looking shells with
long spines, curious spirals, mottled
with blue and gray and yellow.
In the days of the Spaniards vessels
used to sail up the Rio Cobra TO
Spanish Town; now it is wellnigh
choked with the wash of centuries. To
enter it you pass around a long spur of
sand that stretches far out into the bay,
a roosting-place for sleepy pelicans
resting from their tishing-''old Joes, y
as the islanders call them The channel,
barely deep enough for the light canoes
of the fishermen, is tortuous and wind
ing, and further up along its course is
nearly rooted in by overarching trees,
and bordered by impenetrable thickets

used to come and 20 between the har-

The front of it is cmb0wercd in

trees are of a beautiful dark green and
the swamp islands, from distance, look
like fairy bowers.
We poIed our dory around to the
south OF the island. but could not get
near. as we were scraping bottom all
the time. We passed over numerous
oyster beds while doing SO. and. with
an ordinary rake which had been
provided, We lau.ed aboard u lot OF
oysters. They were small and flat and
