An Irish fisherman's cabin is hardly q
palace. but it often holds love and con-
tent, and the one TO which my new found
friend led me with rapid, home-nearing
strides seemed one of this pleasant, rest
fal sort. Most of the habitations of the
fishing village were wretched novels in
deed. This one was not only clean, but
from corrag to thatch it disclosed the
touch of loving hands.
As we neared it l could see that white
founced curtains showed behind the tiny
panes Of cabin and loft; some pretty vines
were trained about the windows them
selves, and the little curl of smoke above
the thatch, which told of the humble
hearthside within. escaped through a
sturdy chimney instead of the usual hole
in the root.
AS the big fellow bounded into his
cabin remained outside under the nre-
tense Of enjoying the fine coast scenery.
and this seemed wise, for the joyous riot
within fairly signified that for the time
being there was little place for the
stranger.
This shortly subsided, and the giant re-

In comparison, wondrously sweet and
happy as seemed this little home-nest
beside the lovely Kerry shores, within it
already lurled the demon of unrest.
Dumb and voiceless as it might be and
was, a pitiful heart tragedy was en-
acting here within one silent breast.
To me, its recognition saddened every
happy hour; gave frowning seeming to
crag, headland and lonely islet, dark and
bare, lent shudderiug dread to the
magic OF the sea, and swept thrill of
portent through all the whisperiDgs of
the breeZes along the somber coast.
Not until the first evening did I see
Eileen. She was the fisherman's eldest
daughter. She crept into the cabin hesi-
family, demurely, but not without a cer-
tain hint of unconquerable determination
and power in her stature. polse and
movement. and with light of strange in
quiry in her great blue eyes as they rested
upon the stranger diffidently.
Her father greeted her fondly enough,
but more like a rough companion and
sharer OF toll than than loved child,

WILD eEAsTs IN DEMAND.

Just nc Present Menngerics and Geological
Gardens Are Short on Unthmed Animals.
There is n sudden and unprecedented
increase in the demand for wild animals
at present, not only for the continent,
but for the United States. The stocks in
most of the European geological gardens
have decreased of late, ashrinkaee part
ly caused by the closure Of the Sudan
by the dorvishes.
In America the popularity Of tho great
menagerie at the Worlds fair has Gre
ated q sudden demand for wild animals
of all kinds. Circuses and private men
egeries are competing with the zoolog-
ical gardens and scientific societies for
rare and interesting animals, and the
demand for America is far greater than
for the continent Of Europe.
After five or six years of neglect there
il such a boom in the wild beast trade as
is hardly remembered Until the expe-
ditions which Hagenbeck and others
have dispatched into central Africa via
Berbera, and into Borneo and the west
coast of Africa, return, there Is little TO
fall back upon but tho average supply
which arrives without system and in
chance ships. A single purchase by an
agent from the Philadelphia ZoOlog-
ical gardens included a leopard, ahyena,

The sugar cane and its uses have
been knownin India, its native home,
frOrl time immemorial. 1t is perhaps
the earliest source from which suga-
was produced, and all other modes of
manufacture have been borrowed
from or based on it. The early clas-
steal writer's knew sugar vaguely as
''honey of canes" To the Greco-Ro-
man world the sugar cane was the
reed which the swarthy Indians de-
lighted to chew, and from which they
extracted a mysterious sweetmeat.
It was the Arabs-those great car.
riers between the east and west
who introduced the cane in the mid
die ages into Egypt, Sicily and the
south of Spain, where it fiourished
abundantly until West Indian slavery
drove it out of the field for a time
and sent the trade in sugar to Jamai-
ca and Cuba. Naturally you a af-
ford to undersell your neighbors
when you decline to pay any wages
to your laborers. Egyptian sugar
was carried to London in Plantagenet
times by the Venetian feet, where it
was exchanged for wool, the staple
product of medieval England.
Early in the sixteenth century the
cane was taken from Sicily to Ma
deira and the Canaries. Thence it
found its way to Brazil and Mexico,
to Jamaica and Haiti. Cane sugar
was well known in Italy about the
second century and has been com
mon in England since the Tudor pc
Rod. The spacious days of great
Elizabeth had sugar for their sack,
and ginger was hot i the mouth, too,
as VIC all well remember .-Cornhill

The fifteenth century pilgrim, Fe-
lix Fabri, 80 exactly expresses my
sentiments about camels that ! will
quote his remarks. He says:
IA camel has a small head and is
without horns. 1t has big and ter
rible eyes and always seems a 0 L
rowful and troubled animal. It's eyes
+ like fire beacons, and big rehec-
tons shine in them, for whatever a
camel looks at seems great and huge
to it, wherefore it seems to view ev-
erything with wonder and alarm.
When, therefore, a man goes up to
it, the beast begins to tremble, so
that the man ~perceives that the
beast trembles because the man COM
ing toward it seems to it to be four
times bigger than he really is.
Had not God so ordered it this an
imal would not beso tame and order
