BLACK AND TAN.
Meeting with Man Who Wore Shoe,
 That Cross Matched.
8 Shoe,

Clearly it was not the paying of a freak bet, but freak of fortune that had compelled this man to wear the shoes he had on, which were one black and the other tan. Nor did they match in shape and size much closer than they did in color; but they were a close pair in dilapidation, and (thought the man approached by the wearer of this cross-matched footgear), if that tan shoe could be blacked they'd do; they'd do better, anyhow. There was place in town, he ,,new, where they changed tan shoes to black, and he told the man with the odd shoes where Der, giving him at the same time a sum sufficient to enable him to get the shoes mated up in color; not much was required, because there was here only half pair to be treated. Clearly the man with the shoes was pleased De- spite his seeming lack of peeuniary re- sources, as evidenced not alone by his odd shoes, but by various other cor roborative indications about him, he was not an. uncheerful person, but the receipt of the money made him more cheerful still. As to whether he would actually devote the money thus ob- tained to having that tan shoe made black, however, or whether, more or less careless of his personal appear ance. he would spend it for something else likely to give him greater meas

Sugar in France.

One reason why the French people consume so little sugar is because their ways of living require less of that article. For the great mass of the French people breakfast consists of a bowl of soup, which is also fre- quently part of the other two meals. Their drink is wine, and, as they use but little tea or coffee, especially in the country, there is scarcely any de- mand for sugar. They make neither preserves nor cake in the family The usual dessert is fruit and cheese The high tax of cents per pound on sugar is pretty fully paid = the well-to-do people who live in ti.5 cities and who take coffee or ehoeo5 s;e for breakfast and small cup of black coffee after dinner.

ORINOCO DELTA rIAVIGABLE.
Most Important Highway Between Bo-
 gota and European Ports.

A dispatch from Caracas says Vene- zuela has declared all the mouths of the Orinoco delta open to international navigation. About 50 arms of the river flow directly seaward, but only seven of them are accessible to large vessels. The delta branch which is most frequented by steamers is the Macareo, which flows to the coast op- posite the island of Trinidad, and of fers direct inland navigation from Ciudad Bolivar, far up the Orinoco, to Port of Spain, the fourishing port of Trinidad. The most important branch of le upper Orinoco is the Meta river, which rises on the eastern slope of the lofty plateau on which Bogota stands and is navgable for most of it's course by vessels drawing several feet of water. It presents, with the Orinoco, the shortest route between the great central plateau cf Colombia and the Atlantic seaboard. In other words. it helps to make a navigable waterway from the Andes to Europe and is re- garded as the great coming highway between Bogota and European ports. Among the Orinoco delta streams are the rich Ian conceded by the Vene zuelan government to the Orinoco company, limited, an American con- cern, whose concession, according to reports from Caracas, has been revok- ed on account of it's alleged failure to fulfill it's contract. Some towns in the delta appear to have a fiourishing future. Among them is Santa Cata- lima, where the Orinoco company has it's headquarters, and whence it ship ped a good deal of balata now used as substitute for rubber. Maj. Stanley Paterson of England, who, in 1898, made an extensive journey up the Orinoco valley, says this valley will some day develop into one of the richest commercialregion of the west ern world. Countless herds of cattle and horses may be raised there The forests yield large quantities of nat ural products, such as rubber, quinine, and other d~ugs, and some traces of gold and otLer metals have been dis covered. It remains to be seen how far the act of the Venezuelan govern ment in mafing the Orinoeo more ac- cessible to u ships of all nations will facilitate the development of this great valley.

Weather Forecasts in Gun.

The following plan is said to offer an excellent forecast of the weather by means of cup of coffee. Drop care fully into the middle of your morning cup of coffee, prepared with a little milk, two Jumps of sugar, and, with out stirring the cup, from the results draw your auguries. If the bubbles ascend rapidly, separate quickly, and fly to the side of the cup, there will be much rain within the next twenty four hours. If they gather slowly and gravitate in cluster to the side, on!v possible showers may be expected. But if they remain plaeidly in the center or the cup, you may wear your best nat, and leave your umbrella at home. when you take your walks abroad

A Disappointed Mrsician.

The Manchester City Times tells an amusing story of the eminent com poser, Felie en David When quite young he gave a concert at Cairo, which was much admired, and after it the khediya sent for m and asked if he woi-1' we few sons to the ladies of the harem. Naturally the young composer was charmed with the idea, and visions of oriental beauties floated through his mind. On the day appointed he was shown into a large room, empty, save for a piano, and to him entered a negro eunuch and wait ed in silence until David grown tired of waiting, asked when his pupils would appear, when the eunuch an sWered that David was to give lesson to him. and he would give it to the ladies of the harem.
