Some of the most striking individu-
ais one will see in the West Indies are
the coolies. There are a great many
of these swarthy-skinned people with
jet-black eyes and hair on the island
of Jamaica. One will meet them in the
market place or on the highways
tricked out in the most gorgeous col
ors with tinkling ornaments on neck
and arms. Some of them will have all
of their earthly possessions represent
ed in the heavy necklace of coins
around their necks. Some will have

Mr.. Carl Lumholtz, the noted ex.

Growing of sugar reefs.

One of the hardest things about the
growing of sugar beets is to get uni
form stand. 1t is evident that if there
are spaces in the field not covered by
the beets the losses will be consider
able. The irregularity comes often
from poor preparation of the land and
also from putting in the seed too deep
so that it does not terminate at all, or
if it does terminate it does so at Pc
Rod so far anterior to the other beets
that the new plants have little encour-
agement to develop. Lack of moisture
at planting time is also responsible for
much of this unevenness in stand
When fertilizers are used it would seem
quite necessary to be sure that their
admixture with the soil is perfect, to
make an even feeding ground for the
plants and thus insure uniform de-
elopment.-Farmers Review.

Hints on Baking Cakes.

Light cakes require a rather brisk
oven to raise and set them. Cakes
raised with baking powder also need
a quick oven. Much sugar in cake
will cause it to burn quickly. There
fore the oven must not be so hot for
them. Large, rich cakes require long
and careful baking. Small sugar
cakes need a slow oven. Ginger
bread, too, should be gently baked.
The oven door should be kept closed
until the dough sets, and all the
time the cake is baking the door of
the oven should be opened as little
as possible and the door very gently
closed, as slamming the door, even
to shut it. will make a cake heavy.

three or four of these necklaces, and
bracelet after bracelet on their dusky
arms. They are fond of fiery red in
their garments and the women are
much addicted to the wearing of cheap
lace. Little can be said of the house
keeping abilities of the coolie women.
1t is without order, system or cleanli-
ness. But as the coolie families are
hardly ever in their houses excepting
to sleep or in stormy weather, they
may feel that it is not worth while to
bother" with the ordinary duties of
housekeeping. The coolies are lean
aTal 1.-THE, with far greater swiftness
of motion than the negroes of Jamai-
ca. They are also more industrious
than the negro and are in greater de-
mand on the planta lions. There are
many thousands of coolies in the West
Indian islands. After their emancipa-
tion many of the negroes of the is
land, with the Unborn love of idleness
of their race, declined to do any more
manual labor than was absolutely nee
essary to provide the scanty clothing
required in a tropical climate and such
food as nature did not supply in the
abundant fruits of the island. When
a negro has earned shilling in the
West Indies his work for that day is
done, no matter if the sun has not vet
reached the meridian. Not so with
the coolie. He will work all day and
in most cases will do better work than
the negro. The laziness of the negro
after his emancipation made it neces-
sary to import more Industrious labor
ers, and thus it was that so many
coolies found their way to the West
Indies.-Detroit Free Press.

sound. That Cannot BE Heard.

A stone thrown into the water pro-
duces ripples. In the same way II you
strike something, as drum, there are
ripples in the air, and the disturbed at
mosphere reaches the ear as a sound.
The slower the ripples or vibrations
the deeper the sound.
The deepest audible sound in mu-
steal instrument is that of the great
thirty-two foot pipe Of the organ of st.
Paups, which gives sixteen vibrations
a second. That is probably the deepest
sound that the human ear can catch.
You listen to it, rolling through the sa-
cred edifice like distant thunder, and a
little thought will enable you to realize
that there may be sounds inaudible to
you, but which you can feel. The deep
tone pervades your entire being until
you have some doubt whether you real
ly hear or feel it.
ara produces note with exactly half
the number of the big organ pipe-that
is, eight vibrations. You cannot hear
the note, but it can be recorded by deli
cate instruments and you can feel each
of the eight waves beat against your
ear drum. The great volcanic eruption
of Krakatoa produced a musical note
of four vibrations a second. 1t was
registered by meteorological instru-
ments in different parts of the world.

Cling sometimes for land and at others

black spot was observed on its snowy

astonished to find was a living rat, and
1t Is probable it had been borne from
its dwelling in some hay rick and, see

poor, Newt, and you're getting oIu--

But Newt would only abuse old Har-
bine for his pains and turn the talk
into a string of 'joshing." The senator
however, was so serious in his deter
mination to do something for Newt
that the dispute between them grew
acute and almost bitter. Newt was
getting old. Nobody knew whether he
had saved anything, but everybody
knew that the time for his retirement
was at hand. AS months went by and
old Harbine's solicitude about reward
ing him waxed more earnest and per
sistent poor Nevis powers of resist
ance began to wane. The senator saw
it and was glad. The two old friends
became inseparable. Terrapin suppers
and bouts with innumerable mint
juleps became continuous. Spring was
merging into summer when the old
correspondent yielded finally to the
tempter.

they sat on the hotel balcony, I've

'I'm going to retire at the end O the

going to work any more. p

"In fact, l expect to pass the rest o.
my life in ease fishing, in fact"
"Thats the stuff! How much'n il

"Never mind what it'll cost" Here

II half what we dream, dear
Should come to me and you;
Or just suppose a single one
We're granted US some day,

We'd dream our lives away.
II all the dreams we dream, dear,
Should vanish In day;

GIRLS WHO POSE.

The army Of models in New York
girls who pose for their living -
is growing larger day by day. The
average price that the painter pays
his model is SO cents an hour. But,
of course there are exceptions When
a particular girl is needed for a
particular piece of work she receives
a special price,. For example,
Clara Betz, a we'll known New York
model, who has been pronounced
a perfect woman with the exception
that one foot is ne-thirty second
of an inch too short, has received as
much as 1925 a sitting.
Within the past few years a new
field has opended for the girl who
poses. She no longer acts exclusive
]y as inspiration for the painter or
sculptor. She is a camera subject
as we'll. Now that the big newspa-
pers and magazines are so profusely
illustrated with half tone pictures,
the clever model finds much work
to do in posing TO the photographer.
She pictorially displays the new
est fashions. She shows, by pictur-
es, the fat woman how to get thin
and the thin woman how to get fat.
She poses for photographers to i'll
ustrate a serial story; she gives
picture lessons in etiquette, and
she helps to make more emphatic
and attractive the words of the adj
veltising writer. In fact, there is
no limit to work of this sort that
she can get if her face and form are
pleasing, and she has at least a pre-
liminary knowledge Of the art of
posing.
