Chocolate Falls in Price as Distance
 from Factories Increases.
 Chocolate is one of the mysteries of trade" explained a well-known gentle man who has spent much time in South America, to reporter, "for the reason that it is one of the few things in trade that grows cheaper in price the farth- CT you are removed from where it is prOduced-that is, from where the coca bean, from which it is made, is grown. The finest grade of chocolate is produc- ed in Venezuela, though there are good forms of coca beans grown in many parts of South and Central America. Indeed, much chocolate was produced in Central America even before Colum- bus discovered America. In South America the retail price for the better grades of chocolates averages about $1 per pound, while'in Italy, France, Eng land and in America the better grades sell at much lower price. Indeed, the ordinary grade of chocolate sells here often for one-third of the price that is charged for it where it is produced in its best form. There are two crops of the coca bean in each year, one being gathered on St. Johns day and the win ter crop, so-called, at Christmas. happened to be in Venezuela during Christmas week and learned more about chocolate than I ever knew be fore, though I have been interested in the trade in financial way for some years. The manufacture is simple enough. It consists of grinding the beans up into meal and then adding sugar and arrow root, with the neces- sary flavor, generally vanilla or cinna- mon. The mass is then moistened un- til it is ill a semifiuid condition, when it is run into molds of the proper shape. "As I stated before, any first class grade of chocolate in the country where it is produced sell at about $1 per pound at retail. To explain the mystery why similar goods sell in this country and in Europe for much less the South Americans say is the result of adulteration. They claim that 90 per cent of the chocolates of commerce are 'heavied by the use of pipe clay or | u lo hOllSCu IAol the chocolates which are made in South America and which bring the higher price right where they are made leave no residue in the cups from which the liquid chocolate is drunk, while the chocolates generally found in this coun. try and in Europe always leave resi- due in the cups.

 "She sprang at me again, seized my injured arm between her jaws, and the pain increased so intensely that I was almost bewildered for the time. Then she fell on the floor unconscious. I thought I was through with the strug- gle, and started again to leave the cage.
 "Dan, the male wolf, in a spirit of revenge, then attacked me, and strange as it may seem, after biting me on the thumb of the right hand, made fright ful growing noise, and to my amuse- ment seized my already badly lacerated arm, and crunched down upon it.

How fn Cure A Cold.

To cure cold first stop eating. The system is overloaded with impurities and they must be eliminated. Fast un- til these poisons can be disposed of in a natural way. Take long walks, draw ing in many deep. full breaths; exercise every muscle of the body, that the cir. culation may be quickened and every part of the body thoroughly cleansed by this accelerated circulation. Bathe at least once day, rubbing the surface of the body briskly all over for five or ten minutes. After missing from two to three meals if a ravenous appetite is acquired 1t Is, of course, desirable to indulge this appetite, but in modera- tion. Under no circumstances should the stomach be gorged, and those foods which are unwholesome or but moder. ately nutritious should be avoided

A boy or 1Z years -Ol age TeCeAlly committed suicide in Connecticut be cause he had had disagreement:with his school teacher about the studies it was best for him to pursue. There have been two or three cases of children who have killed themselves because they failed to pass their school exam nations. Not long ago a little girl took poison because she was not allow ed by her mother to go out and play with other children. There have been tender years have killed themselves because they fancied they were cross ed in love by cruel parents. A census of children who have committed sui eide for trivial reasons would show that child suicide is increasing at an this? Why is 1t that those who should be most in love with life are so willing to part with it? Undoubtedly one cause is to be found in the abnormal sensitiveness of these youthful self murderers- sensitiveness which is al
 
 cure it until it becomes an overmas- tering passion which in these days when life is held of so little value easily leads them to part with it when ever they are not allowed to have their own way. Undoubtedly also another all, is to be found either in the neglect of children by their parents or in faulty methods of bringing them up. A con- temporary, discussing this subject, is of opinion that children were much better off when they were allowed to develop by simple growth, like Topsy. In the evolution of domestic govern ment the child has passed through many stages. A century ago it was a little monster of depravity whose in- iQuities must be cured by religious training of the severest kind. Then be overcome by the spiritual nature, and finally the theory enunciated by Frederic Harrison the other day that the child is incapable of sin by nature. Between all these theories somehow the child falls to the ground. Adyanc- ed civilization with Its scientific dog mas and theoretical schemes of train ing is doing it's best to make children normal, but somehow it fails, as the multitude of wayward children, youth full criminals and youthful suicides tes- tifies. Are we not applying too much science to child rearing in some in- stances? Would it not be better to go back to natures processes and let them grow up as natural children with a strong love of life, a healthy fear of punishment, and an enjoyment of nat, ural instincts, like little animals, and not try to make little men and women of them before their time? The pro cesses of modern civilization have something radically defective in them when boys and girls between and r. years of age so frequently commit sui eide.

One of the noticeable results of the recent war with China is the establish ment in New York of a weekly news paper printed in Chinese. Heretofore the Chinese have relied upon educated Chinamen who every evening would translate for them the leading news of the day. The fact that the colony has become wide-awake enough to want tc read the news of the world. for itself, and above all else that 1t Is willing tc pay for the reading, promises a great step forward in the near future China's misfortune has been that owing to her seclusion she has never learned of the other great powers ol the world.

CHARMED BY WILD BEASTS.
PeriIous Experience of Keeper in the

PeriIous Experience of a Keeper in the
 Philadelphia Zoo.
 There is something in the angry glint of a wild animals eye that fascinates John Lover, one of the keepers at the geological gardens, and his fOndness for literally 'bearding the lion in his den" some day may cost him his life. No one knows this better than Lover him. self, and yet he feels that his Hines are cast in pleasant places" and would be envious of any man foolhardy enough to apply for his position.
 At least half of the time this man with .. the daredevil recklessness of spirit goes about with bandaged limbs, the results of encounters with his Friends" the animals. When his hands, arms, or legs are torn by the claws of the maddened beastsshe makes dash for bottle of cauterizing fluid, pours it into the ragged wound, and then goes back to subdue by kindness or punishment, as the case may require, the animal that attacked him.
 q wouldn't leave my position for any other one that could be offered to me- he said to-day. q love wild animals and know it is their nature to attack men. No; don't care much for tame animals. The fierceness and splendid courage is beaten out of them, and T regard them as I would a cowardly man."

When I had finished I started to leave by way of rear door, but had no sooner turned my back than Nellie sprang upon me.
 "She weighs about 150 pounds, and when she struck me I fell to the floor with thud.

Queen Alexandra's capacity for self control was shown when she was talk ing one of her incognito excursions about Copenhagen. A nobleman saw her entering a "bus;" and as she was doing so a stout man and two women forced their way in front of her. Not a sign of disapproval was on her fea- lures; merely sort of naive surprise. There was absolutely no comment. As she was unknown, she was free to make an angry protest, but she ruled her spirit, and was thus a model of self-restraint in that hardest of all places to avoid impatience-a public vehicle.

DOGS THAT LOVE MUSIC.

Maryland Farmer Satisfied that Their
 Howls and Whines Mean Approval.
 Robert Wickes, one of the most ar dent lovers of dogs in Maryland, who constantly keeps large kennel of fox hounds, water dogs and diminutive pets, several years ago entertained visitors to his home with what he term ed his "canine orchestry." Provided with an accordion, violin, and several other instruments, the members of MT. Wicks' household commenced an en- liyening air in the dining-room of his home. Immediately the dogs crowded to the door of the kitchen and set up their whines of approval, or even de- light. When admitted into the room they crowd around the players and in dulge in a most novel performance un- til either they are tired out or the musi- clans are forced to suspend playing from sheer exhaustion. Their Whin- ing is solemn when some dragging air is played, but a veritable bedlam is reached when the quick strains of the s"Fisher's HOrnpipe" are played. That 
 and not of discomfort is unmistakably shown by the fact that they can scarce ly be forced from the room so long as the music continues.
 In the old high-ceiling country kitch- en the writer has seen mice steal out and become quite tame in response to the performance of some old negro fid dler, who, apart from his perfect time, succeeded. in drawing but little music from the dilapidated violin, though, of course, the sounds are musical.
 There is no reason, too, to believe that dogs, like human beings, are not all ap- pealed to by exactly the same sounds. What will attract the notice of and call forth the deep bass solo of the mastiff or the Chesapeake Bay water dog may not appeal to the household pet or the farmyard cur or fox hound, and vice versa.

A railroad is actually building from Sault Sainte Marie to Hudson Bay. It has long been a dream of the Cana dians to have a water route for Winni- peg wheat through this great bay; and although that may not be feasible on account of the obstructive tactics of Jack Frost, the railway line is certain to bring down to the Lake region great stores of lumber, and-it is said-of iron, copper and gypsum. A modern seaside hotel on Hudson Bay is also proposed.
