The sleeping car porters are gradu- ates of schools. The Pullman and Wags ner companies have organized tho schools all over the country. The schools are usually located in the de- pots. The equipment is but bare room, in which a complete sleeping car berth Is set up, with curtains, cush. ions and all, just as they are in the cars. After an applicant has been ac- cepted and assigned to duty he reports at the division office and is conducted to the schoolroom. Here, under the tutelage of one of the old 2orters, he is shown tue proper and only method of making up berth. Then how to con- vert 1t back to section, how the cur tains are folded, where the pillows are placed, how the cushions are utilized. and all the mysteries of the craft.

FIRST POTATOES.
Tomatoes and Chincon Trees Were Raised
 In Peru.

Ill.
 Lima Cor. Chicago Record: Peru is the birthplace of the potato, which was hrst used as an article of food by the lncas and exported to Europe by the Spaniards when they took over quinine bark and named 1t in honor of the countess of Chincon, whose husband at that time was vieeroy. The Indians had used the bark for medicinal pur- poses as long as any one could remem. Der, but this noble lady was the first European to test it's efficacy, and it proved so excellent cure for the ma- laria which saturates the atmosphere Of Lima that she induced the Jesuit fathers to recommend it to the medi- cos of the old world. These wise old chaps sent it to Spain and Italy. and It IS said that one Of the first doses of quinine that was ever administered in Europe was swallowed by the pope The unregenerate potato, which is still found in wild state among the noun tains of Peru, is delicate vine, which bears fruit about the size of a plum and as yellow as an orange. Cultiva- tion has increased its size and i'm. proved its flavor. The scientists say that the tomato also originated in Peru. and was known among the Ineas as love apple, possessing peculiar qualities that influenced the affections. For centuries after it's discovery the same superstition prevailed in Europe. Peru also claims to be the mother of cotton, but I think Egypt will dispute that fact.

colossal Monument

The most colossal monument on the continent of Europe and second alone in dimensions to the Liberty statue in New York, is that Of the fabulous Tu- rull bird recently erected on the sum. nit of the Banhida mountain in Coun. ty Komorn, Hungary, in commemora- ton of the Hungarian millennium, which was celebrated with a stupen- dous amount of patriotic influence in 1896 in all portions of the kingdom. The site is well chosen, seeing that the monument occupies the spot where Ar pad slew Swatopluk, the Slavic chief tain, on his invasion of>the Hungary of today. It was mainly due to the exer- tions of the famous Magyar romaneer, Jokal Nor, that the collection for the monument was started. This bird, sa- b1e has it. has played an extraordinary part in the destipies of the nation. so that the poorest moved to enthusiasm by the eloquence of the popular poet, contributed the copper be could Ill af- ford to spare to the general fund. The conception of the monument is that of the Magyar sculptor, DoEath Gyula, the metals used being copper and iron The height from the claw to the tip of the wing is sixty-eight feet, the out spread wings are forty-six feet long, and the sword of Arpad, which the monster bird holds in it's claws, meas. ures forty feet.

CONSUMPTION OF ALMONDS.
rwenty-one Milliop Pounds Eaten In the
 United states Each Year

There are, roughly speaking, 21, 1,000,- 900 pounds of almonds consumed in the United States each year, some eaten with raisins, some used iD the manu- facture of candy, some ground for cream and favoring extracts. and some, Of an inferior quality, used for perfumery and soap. The state of Cal- ifornia produces about 14,000 900 pounds of almonds in year. or two- thirds of the amount required for do- nestle consumption, and the other aI- monds are imported from European countries, from which, until few years ago. all the almonds were sent. The figures of almond importations for the fiscal year 1898 show importations of about 7,000,000 pounds. Of this amount 4.500,00 came from Spain, 100000 from Italy, chiefly Sicily, and the balance from Greece and Portugal. Cocoanuts to the value of about se00.- GOO year are imported into the Uuit.d States from foreign countries or from countries which were under foreign jurisdiction at the time of the fast an nual treasury report. Before the be- ginning of the Cuban war for inde- pendence the importation of coeoanuts 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 eocoanuts, 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 coeoanuts is Florida, which is in closer proximity to the New York market. The annual report of Florida coeoanuts amounts to about 1000 000 pounds, of the value of about $500 000 a year, and the conditions as to al- monds and eoeoanGts are in this par. ticular reversed. California produces just twice as many almonds as are im@ ported into the United States, whereas Florida produces just one-half as many coeoanuts as are mported.-Boston Transcript.

Relic of By-gone Days.

St. Georges church, at the top of Lord street, Liverpool, England, Is undergoing demolition, and the work men have just come upon curious relic of by-gone days. The church stands on the site of a baronial castle said to have been first built by Roger de Poictiers in 1073 After being used for various purposes, the castle was demolished early last century to make room for the church. While at work the demolishers of the church came upon a large slab in the east aisle, in- mediately under the stained glass win- dow facing Lord street. The slab be- ing raised disclosed twelve steps cut in rock and leading to platform, and an arched doorway led to another flight of five steps, at the foot of which was a square chamber about fourteen feet In height, also cut in the rock. From this place there is q passage appar- ently running in the direction of tho river, while marks on the walls sug- gested that the tide flowed in at high water, though the church is on high level and nearly 200 yards from the river. It is supposed that these steps and passages were hewn in the rock to provide an outlet from the castle near the waterside, and that when the castle was removed it was thought easier to cover the entrance than to i'll up the passage, Foul air prevented the workmen from exploring further

 Inhabitants of Louds Island on the
 Maine Coast Pay None.
 Loud's island, on the coast of Maine. near historic Pemaquid, in the Lincoln county town of Bristol, is one of the very few places on earth where there Ire no taxes. This island, otherwise known as Muscongus, was overlooked when Maine became state, and was put into no town or county. It is said that during the war the people cast their votes for time in the town of Bristol until some election officer dis" covered the illegality of the vote. The island was first settled by John Loud, a deserter from British man-of-wars and his great-grandchildren are now prominent inhabitants. By voluntary contributions school is maintained, the parents paying S4 for each child. The school term averages eight months in each year, and there is an average ing bait for the fishermen of Boston. Gloucester and Port is the most profitable business of the people, out when bait is slack in running they turn their attention to lobstering, mackerel fishing and catching porgies for the big oil and fertilizing factory opposite the island in Bristol. After a successful haul of bait a large white flag is hoisted on the high ground In the center of the island. With glass it may be discovered far out at sea, whence come the Grand Bankers and others like buzzards attracted by the casualties of battle. The people have comfortable homes, and are prosper ous and contented. Like the asher- men of 1~~. isle, they are famous for their skill as sailors.-Portland PrasA
