Chocolate.

In South America the retail price for
the better grades of chocolate averages
about 81 a pound, while In Italy,
France, England and In the United
States the better grades sell at a much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate of trade sells for about one
third of the price that Is charged for 1t
where 1t Is produced. The cause of
this, the producers say, is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching Its final market,
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion of 80
per cent of the chocolates of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
Is manufactured is produced In its fin
est form In Venezuela, though various
other parts of Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops of the bean are gathered
each year, and the manufacture con-
slsts simply In grinding up the beans
into a meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary flavor,
usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass
Is moistened until 1t Is In a semihuid
state, after which 1t is run into molds

Some time ago two hulking hoboes
who had Just dismounted from a Gen.
trail freight train asked Yonkers man
food. He took them to a restaurant
and promised to provide them with
work as soon as they had finished eat
ing. When they reported for work, he
said; Boys, my cellars full of water,
and want you to pump 1t out. I've
fixed these hand pumps right here on
the sidewalk. Never mind the people.
When they come along and ask ques-
lions, just you say nothing, but pump
till the waters out of the cellar. Keep
cool. Don't hurry. but pump, and l
will pay you WELL
Now. a tributary to the Nepperhan
river ran through this mans store cell
Anmps reached down into the river.
The water pumped out by the hoboes
ran into the sewer and back into the
Nepperhan, but as the sidewalk was
tightly tagged the bumpers didn't
know the size of their job.
The street became damned with spec
tators, who roared with merriment as
they watched the hoboes. All but the
men at the pumps knew what was up.
When the sun went down, 1t descended
on the wrath of two Weary Willies.
armed with coupling pins. They hunt
ed all night for their kind employer,
but he was In New York telling his
friends.

year to make 1t convenient and not to
expensive for people Of moderate means
to spend their vacation In Colorado

world like Colorado for invalids and
others in search Of rest and pleasure.
The pure, dry climate has the most
astonishing permanent effect on the
health and spirits of visitors, and
especially is this so In the case of those
from that part of the country near the
level Of the sea.

People who only know the gayer side
of Dleppe would be surprised to hear
of the existence of the cave dwellers
there. One Is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within stones
throw Of the casino, and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the shelissh from the rocks outside
their habitations. They have certain
marked characteristics one being a Pc
.culiar complexion of their own that
can be traced largely to a dlsincllna-
ton on the part Of the cave dweller to
avail himself of the water that washes
so close to his door. Their language
also Is peculiar, but whether 1t really
belongs to the stone age no one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold
a license from the municipality. though,
which savors OF no age but the present.

years In the brazilian capital, went
with his wife and S-year-old daughter

fruits and vegetables of the temperate

At the first dinner after their arrival
the visitors were treated to some fresh
asparagus. The little 8-year-old daugh-
ter was likewise served with the as
paragus. but she evidently did not
think much Of 1t as an article of food.
Her mother tried for some time to
coax her 10 eat It. Finally the little
girl, taken between the rudeness of
whispering at the table and the rude

Entertaining SQUIRRELS.

Alive In his native woods the squirrel
is an amusing little fellow, and he Will
entertain you by the hour If you will
let him.
You probably become first aware Of
his presence by his dropping things on
your head. Then he plays hide and
seek with you as he zlgzags up a'tree.
While he pauses for thought, or pos
slbly to wash his face, another squirrel
comes scudding along the branches Of
neighboring tree, and away they go,
one chasing the other, jumping from
branch tip ia branch tip racing up and
down the truBk and making the bark
fly. Sometimes one loses his footing
and falls headlong 20 or 80 feet to the
ground, landing there with a force that
makes him bounce. You think every
grain Of sense must be knocked out Of
the small body, but he only blinks
bit, and, after moment spent perhaps
in letting the stars set that must have
suddenly risen before his eyes. he
streaks 1t up the nearest tree after the
other fellow Long after they have
disappeared from sight you hear them
chattering together up among the
leaves like two watchmen's rattles.-
