Away From Home.

1t breaks parents to have their boys
leave home, but 1t Is the best thing that
can ever happen to them. A man gets
a training when away from home that
he needs in after life, and which he
can never receive at home. 1t is a
grandmotherly notion that a man
should be tucked in his bed at home
every night until the day he marries
and goes to home of his own; suCh
dollhouse treatment puts him In poCi
condition for the. cold blasts he IS
bound to encounter later in life.-At-

CONSUMPTION OF ALMONDS.
Twenty-one Million Pounds Eaten In the
 United States Each Year.

There are, roughly speaking, 21 ,000,- 900 pounds of almonds consumed in the United States each year. some eaten with raisins, some used ia the manu- facture of candy. some ground for cream and fayoring extracts, and some, of an inferior quality, used for perfumery and soap. The state of Cal ifornia produces about 14000000 pounds of almonds in year, or two- thirds of the amount required for do- mestic consumption. and the other all monds are imported from European countries, from which, until fe~ years ago, all the almonds were sent The figures of almond importations for the fiscal year 1898 show lmportations of about 100000 pounds. Of this amount 4,500,000 came from Spain, 1,500, 900 from Italy, chiefly Sicily, and the balance from Greece and Portugal. Cocoanuts to the value of about $600.- GOO year are imported into the UniEd States from foreign countries or from countries which were under foreign jurisdiction at the time of the last an nual treasury report. Before the be- ginning of the Cuban war for inde- pendence the importation of cocoanuts from Cuba into the United States was to the value of about $200,000 year. With the beginning of the war 1t de- clined, and under the present tariff the duty on cocoanuts further reduced the importation from Cuba. though a large increase in the shipments of cocoanuts Is expected this year under American jurisdiction in Cuba and Porto Rico. The competition of American with for eign cocoanuts, the latter from the West Indies and South American states, has been more active than in the case of almonds, for the reason that the chief source of supply of American eoeoanuts is Florida, which is in closer proximity to the New York market. The annual report of Florida coeoanuts amounts to about 7,000.00e pounds, of the value of about $300,000 a year, and the conditions as to all monds and coeoanuts are in this par ticular reversed. California produces just twice as many almonds as are i'm ported into the United States, whereas Florida produces just one-half as many cocoanuts as are mported.-Boston Transcript.

The Term of Life.

Recent inquiries in England have led to the preparation of tables showing the full term of life" for man, and other mammals, based upon the theory that there is fixed ratio between the period required to reach maturity and the total length of life. Accident, dis ease and so forth, have to be eliminat- ed from the calculation. According to these tables, only one animal exceeds man in it's full life term, namely, the elephant. For man the theory makes the average term about 90 years, and for the elephant something over 100 years. Next to man. in longevity, come the camel and the Arabian horse, whose term of life is about 42 years.

FIRST PATENT IN AMERICA.
Was Granted In Is4s by the General

ehe Boston Transcript: To the g. court of Massachusetts belongs the honor of granting the first Amer iean patent; this was in f648, and was then designated as monopoly. It was confined to the region controlled by Massachusetts. and the one issue ap- parently included all the inventions of the inventor connected with engines that depended upon water for their mo- tive power. The limit of the monopoly was fourteen years, and the court not only retained power to forbid exporta- ton, but to prevent exorbitant charges upon the public for their use The patent was issued in this form;
 'Jenkes Monopolye a general Courte at Boston the 9th of the 9th Mo 1648.

He was a black smith and machinist, made the dies for the coining of the "pine-tree" money and built the first fire engine in this country altogether man of great inventive genius and the ances- tor of large number of descendants.

Had Many L.S

General Sir Arthur Cott6tl, whose death at the age of 95 was recently an- nounced, was so illiin Persia sixty-four years ago that his grave was dug in readiness for his death At the age of IS he went through the Burmese war, caught the jungle fever many times, and was, as the old man him. self expressed it, obliged to quit India three times under sentence of death" by the doctors. Twice he had sunstroke and once the skin of half his body was torn off by boiler explosion. After forty-fye years of battling with saw ages and microbes the old man gave in and returned to England to die-ac- cording to the doctors. It was the aged generals firm conviction that by ab. stinence from drink and tobacco he had placed his lifelong enemy, death, un- der a tremendous disadvantage.

Midsummer Lingerie.

The silk skirt has been pressed de, cidedly out of service this summer, for the dainty, fluffy gowns will have noth, ing but lingerie to match. Only the finest nainsook and sheer linen under skirts are worn, and these are made tight at the hips with many elaborate ly-trimmed ruffies at the bottom. The newest chemise has no sleeve at all; it is held in place by ribbons that tie in bow over the shoulder.

RAsslN-MAKINo IN CALIFORNIA
Process of Getting the Fruit In shape
 for Shipment.

TOT Snlpmenbs
 The gang moves in a bunch, clip. ping off the translucent clusters of museatels, arranging them ufon the trays to shrink and shrive1 under the rays of the sun into the concentrated delicaey we know. Behind them the lines of trays lie, a baslxing array of shimmering fruit, and some one inter- ested is showing the clusters together, that the tray shall be honestly filled. for the workers are paid by the tray. After two weeks exposure i'll the dry heat the Il. ed trays are ready to be turned so that the grape may be cured evenly. This is accomplished by two men, one on either side, placing an empty tray over the full one, dexter ously reversing it, then. carrying the upper one with them, repeating the process on down the row. It is at this most deleetable. The amber is chang ing through ruddy stages to amethyst, and the sun-warmed balls are drops of honey-double distilled, so sweet they make you long with a great thirst for the red water tank shimmering in the sunlight fc ty acres away; but you must eat and eat, and go on eating even while your palate is cloying with the sweetness. In another week the dried grapes are ready for the sweat boxes. These wide, open boxes con- tain from 150 to 160 pounds, and as the raisins become sufficiently cured they are sorted from the others and placed therein. the large, perfect clusters and the inferior, broken pieces in separate boxes. They are usually carried to a westinghouse, a closed structure, in which they soften and moisten evenly, the drying having made the stems ex- eeedingly brittle; or simply stacked in one corner of the packing house to await the grading and packing-Land of Sunshine.

CHEAP THINGS IN MANILA.
Rosewood and Mahogany Much Used
 Low Prices for Duck Suits.

Paymaster Eugene Coffin. writing from Manila, Philippine islands. to a friend in Washington, says: ''I am liv- ing at the Hotel del Orient. The floors of the hotel are of hardwood, and all sawed out by hand. These people have never seen a sawmill The staircases of the first three floors of the hotel are of rosewood. They use solid mahog- any here for the cheapest things. ! took out my rule the other day and measured some of the boards in the floor, and, to my surprise, they were g feet long and 301a inches wide. You can hardly realize how wide 30h inches is. Take tape measure and mark it off, and you will understand how amazed I was. There's fortune here for the man who will come in and start a saw and blaming mill. They saw all their lumber here by hand, a chino at each end of the saw. These boards have been in use for twenty years. and not a ehink or crack in them. I had nine duck suits made to order for me here. and paid $25.50 in gold for the entire lot. l pay eight cents a suit for washing 1t. They never saw a washboard here. They wet and soap the clothes and then thrash them on the stones, swinging them over their heads as you would a fail. There is not a cook stove in Manila save those brought here by our boys. But they have plenty of sewing machines. There is not aatiron on the whole island. When our boys first got here they got 54 Mexican dollars for a United States twenty-dollar piece, but the rate Of exchange has fallen now until it is only two for one. We are paying off the boys in paper money now, and the natives take our currency very kindly. They have never seen so much money in all their lives as our boys are spend ing now"

With shriek Miss Quick sprang from the hammock, when the snake loosened its hold. Securing club, the young lady returned and killed the snake. which was nearly five feet in length and had eleven rattles.
