What with canaigre, coffee
and sugar plantations and rice
as an issue the demand for
plantation tools is growing
apace. The clearing of coffee
land requires more tools, or as
many, at least as preparing
land for cane. Every first
class store should carry a
stock Of them but not all of
them do. Ours is as complete
in these lines as others, and
there is nothing in the line Of
Plantation Tools as everything
else-you know what that
means.
Then there's the price. Our
method of buying means low
price in selling. We have a
small profit that satisfies us
and you. For Hoes, Of every
description, Cane Knives,
Axes, Picks and Handles
ours is the place. We are
prepared to fill any order from
a single article to a hundred

A CHAMPION OF ANIMALS.

Little Hazel Fairchild is one of the
-b,nest.eyed, tenderest hearted wee
lassies in the world, and very ardent
member of the Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals. The other
dry Hazel had sad experience. She
had been down town with her grand
mamma, and as they alightcd from the
electric car in front OF the house, there
on the track, just that instant
killed, lay poor, little mite of kit
ten. Hazel gave cry as she saw it,
and then with all the fiery Indignation
and dignity of her four shortsummers'
she turned quickly to the conductor.
"oh, you bad, bad man, you'll" she
cried, bravely winking back the weak
tears in her eyes. "Ain't you'shamed?
I belong to the society, and 1 have the
wight tell you 1 have tho wight
to have you awested, "and she pounded
her little clenchcd fist in evidence
upon the shining silver badge pinned
on her frock. Could anything have
been sweeter than to see such baby
fighting for the pitiful, mangled kitten
ut her feet? And is it any wonder
that such a small, pretty angel OF
mercy was applauded by all the pas
sengers in the car?
There is another story of Hazel
which shows the philosophical side of
her young character.
Mr.. Sanger, of Buy st. Louis, built
the Fairchild wharf in front of their
pretty home at that resort, and little
Hazel loves to spend her time out
there over the water, listening to the
secrets that the waves whisper to her,
and thinking those long, long thoughts
of youth.
The other evening she and her
mother were sitting at the end of the
bathhouse looking over the water.
Suddenly Hazel remarked: Mamma,
God made the water, didn't He ?"
Eyes DEAR" her mother answered.
.But Sanger made the wharf," added
the little maid quickly, and then she
wondered what made her mother
shake 50. New Orleans Times-Demo-

TEST OF FRIENDSHIP.

The hardest test of the friendship OF
pet animal is to call it away from
its food while it is yet hungry-not
order it from its meal, but merely call
it. A real friend of O dog, for in-
stance, will not have to call dog; it
will. come without calling, whether
eating or not. If q gentle master has
been away for week the demonstra-
tions of Joy will be of most lively
character. But the approach OF a
cruel master makes q dumb creature
finch and shrink away in fear and
trembling, and caresses are received
with bowed head and quivering body.

onp Rusr1Es IN s1EEYEs.

Wires play an important part in the
makeup Of the modern b.lle. She
has worn them in different items of
her attire from time to time, and
one neyes knows where the wires are
to be found next Now We have them
in the great sleeves of shirt waists!
That bouffant effect SO dear to the soul
of the dressmaker, and accepted by
the American woman as the latest edict
of Dame Fashion, cannot be obtained
except with the aid of machinery.
Starched sleeves will not stick out of
themselves. So the wires are dexter
ously spread inside, and when you
look through q woman's sleeve in the
sunlight it looks like an immense bird
cage.
It is said that some women have
utilized old bustles to spread their
sleeves. This may be m exaggera-
tion, but certainly the wire shapes are
as much like the bustles of other
days as anything can be.-New York

sculptured Stones in Guiana.

The most interesting relic of pnst
aees that one encounters in the Guiana
country are immense stones containing
hieroglyphic inscriptions. These are
to be found on the sides of the noun
tains and upon many of the rocks in
the rivers throughout British and
Venezuelan Guiana, and have evoked
a great deal of discussion among eth
nologists. No theory regarding their
origin has yet been accepted, though
they are said to be similar 70 those
found in the exploration of Phenicia.
DR.. Maracano of Paris, after careful
study of the skulls found in an old
Indian burial ground of the upper
Orinoco, says that they are similar to
those discovered in the Egyptian
tombs, from which is deduced the the
ory of Phenician origin, and confr-
nation of the existence, in former
times, of the Atlantis Archipelago,
by which one could cross from the
African coast to South America i'll

STORY OF AN OLD OWL.

Kept in captivity the owl used to
get out of sorts ut times, jnst Us little
children will; but instead of giving it
jam wrapped around powder, its
owner sent it for trip on the water
to cure it. 1t was fastened to the back
of duck, which was then driven into
q horse pond. The owl was no sailor
and as often as it stuck its claws into
the duck, as it frequently did in its
terror, the duck dived and gave it o
good drcnching. This made tho owl
more alarmed than ever, and caused
it to dig its claws oil tho frmer into
the duck, and this, of course, only
led to its being ducked again and
again. Every time the owl came ont
of its bath it expressed its surprise by
loud hootings Then in case of ncci-
dent to one or other bird, or perhaps
both, the owl WAS unbound. After
shaking it's feathers as dog shakes
its coat, it slowly fell into its usual
state of solemnity. But it was always
the better for these excursions on the
pond. Folks.

WOMEN TO VOTE FOR yEsrRYMEy.

Hereafter in the Protestant Episco-
pal church in the diocese OF Michigan
women may vote for vestrymen. So
it has been determined in the recent
diocesan convention, tho decision
being reached after investigation OF
the working of woman suffrage in
other dioceses. The decision may not
make much practical difference, for
women are great power in every
Protestant church in this country, and
their desires commonly receive the
most respectful consideration whether
they vote or not. Nevertheless, they
ought to vote. They do most of the
church work, and pay their share at
least of the church moneys. and they
ought certainly to have voice in de-
termining to whom the management
or the church business shall be en-
trusted. The experiment is not new,
but has long been in successful and
approved operation in Ohio, Virginia,
Kentucky, and other dioceses in the
United States s-Harper's Weekly.

CoBardice Of Alligators.

"The cowardice of alligators is well
known by the people who reside along
the bayous which were at one time fre-
quented by the saurians," said gen
tleman from Southwestern Louisiana
"A great many persons who only
know of the alligator by reputation
swallow without qunlm the stories
which are so often told about the hair
breadth escapes and remarkable adyen-
lures with these reptiles. The truth
is, that they do not possess sufficient
courage-the alligators, I mean,-to
attack mouse, unless it was chained
to the bank and couldn't show fight
I remember crossing stream in the
Vcrmillion country number OF years
before the craze foralligator hides had
struck the country. I entered a akif,
and, when about half way over, my dog,
which had forgotten, came bounding
after me, aud, leaping into tba Wetsi,
began to swim across after the boat.
Almost Immediately several alligators
lying with the tips OF their noses
above the surface, began to move Of
ter the dog, and soon came within
few feet of the animal. He realized
that he was being chased, and pro-
ceeded to turn the tables by chasing
them. He barkcd and turned to make
for the 'gators" but they got out OF
his way. Well, the dog and the sau-
riaps kept up this performance until
the former had crossed the stream.
The alligators seemed to be afraid to
come within biting distance, although
it would have been impossiblefor the
dog to have injured them. They were
simply afraid, that's all, and it is al
ways the way with them. 1 have fre-
quently swan after an alligator my
self, and he would invariably turn tail
and get out of sight in hurry.
Courage /! They have no moro than a
goat. New Orleans Times-Demo.
