The woman had her arms In the tub
and was fercely scrubbing one dirty
garment after another. Book agents
don't often penetrate to that part Of
Chicago, but this one did. He knocked
on the front door until he was tired.
and then he went around to the back
door. The woman was bobbing up. and
down over the washboard.
"Good morning, madam" said the
book agent pleasantly.
"Good mornin," said the woman
shortly.
Pleasant day." observed the book
agent, sparring for an opening.
"Good enough" answered the wo-
man.
Excuse me, madam" said the book
agent, "but have here a work that
would like to show you"
Have you" answered the woman.
"WelL I've got lot of work that I'd
Hike to show you" She took one soapy
hand out Of the tub and waved it at q
great pile Of dirty clothes.
That's my work, +" went on the wo-
man. IF your work can beat that, all

curio.ities Of the c.c.o rr...

The cultivation Of cacao, says writer
In The Scientific American. is an invft.
Ing agricultural pursuit In Trinidad
and parts Of Venezuela. The cacao tree
canhot Withstand strong sunshine, and
the young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plantain trees and later,
when they attain their growth, by tall
trees known as 'immortelles," or the
mother of the cacao." These make q
kind Of canopy over the entire planta-
ton. The fruit of the cacao tree Is q pod
resembling q cucumber and growingGon
the trunk or large branches, where 1t
"looks as though it were artificially at
tached." The seeds are like large, thick
lima beans imbedded In pulp. These
form the cacao beans OF commerce. The
processes Of curing and drying require
much attention.

Our Last Cargo of Slaves.

Captain Foster was the commander
Of the slave ship Clotilda that brought
the last cargo OF slaves to the United
States. The trip was made only after
many thrilling scenes requiring. weeks
Of skillful maneuvering and dangerous
exploits. Just before the north and
south engaged in war Captain Foster
built the Clotilda and announced that
he would make a trip to the gulf of
Guinea despite the fact that United
States war vessels had burned and
sunk the ships Of many who tried the
voyage. He was warned repeatedly of
the dangers attached to such an under.
taking, but he equipped his ship and
sailed away. + - F'-
He reached the African coast after
going out Of his course many times and
remained along the coast for a month.
He succeeded In getting 100 negroes on
board before he was detected by the
watchful vessels Of the United States.
He was pursued, but easily outdis-
tanced his pursuers, and two months
later arrived in Mobile bay with his
human cargo. A steamboat met the
sIaveship during the night, and the
negroes were transferred in order to
avoid the custom house officials. Cap
tain Foster set his vessel on fire and
passed through Mobile without being
detected. The government authorities
hunted for him for months, but he
eluded them until the close Of the war,
when he retired from the sea. 3 g..

AS to our mannerisms, says writer
In the Baltimore Sun, at first they are
accidents, and afterward they become
habits. 1t is singular how easy It Is
to- convince a credulous public that d
misfortune is a gift, just ais an eccen-
tricity is a mark Of genius. Your
correspondent knows a lady who was
asked in marriage by several gentle
men (for. where one pastures others
will follow, although she was neither
beautiful nor clever nor rich, but
because she was affected with a trem-
bling Of the lids. In her inmost heart
she who addresses you believes the
trembling began with nervousness, but
it was universal, and after a little
what was curious began to be regarded
as fascinating. At any rate I know a
we'll established, portly lady, married
to a man who secured her, not without
difficulty, whose only sorrow is the
necessity of keeping up the girlish
habit which procured her a spouse. He
is not a sentimentalist, but he wants
what he paid for. He married her
because her eyelids trembled, and not
unnaturally he wishes to be possessed
Of the same treasure. "

As to the merits Of the pen shown, the
most important is the large hinged door
on the south side that admits sun to
the whole OF the pen and keeps 1T sweet
and warm We never have wet o i'll
smelling pens. Have the roof slanting
at least As degrees. This makes the
north side SO high that the north winds
do not blow ID the pens when doors are
open. Then, again, when the roof is
higha at the center you can get into the
pen without humping your head. A
farmer gets enough bumps in life with
out going to q pigpen for them. The

and each SOW has seven feet I'M length.
