The month OF September, which
closed lis third year, witnessed d
the high water mark in its business
career, as its receipts were greater

Queen Alexander.

Love for children is a prominent
trait of the character of the queen con-
sort. She was passionately devoted tn
her own children, and she has never
wholly recovered from the death of
her eldest born, the Duke of Clarence.
Several months after her bereavement
she was walking in the lanes near her
home, when she met an old woman
staggering under the weight Of bur-
dens too heavy for her. The princess
stopped her to speak a few words of
sympathy, and learned that she per-
formed the duties of a carrier, eXecut-
ing commissions between two villages.
'"The bundles are too heavy for mel"
she lamented, bursting into tears. II
never carried them when Jack was
here" "Who is Jack and where is he
now?" kindly inquired the princess.
"Jack's my boy, and he's dead-dead!"
wildly exclaimed the old woman. With
another sympathetic word Alexandra
turned away, hurriedly lowering her
veil to hide her emotion. She could
understand the sorrow of a mother who
had lost her boy. The next day there
was sent to the woman a cart drawn
by a stout donkey. In this cart the
old carrier made her journeys in com.
fort for the rest of her life. ~

A Plant Esteemed for Its Flavor and
Aroma.
The vanilla is an orchidaceous,
climbing vine, which often reaches
over 80 feet in height, and Is usually
about the thickness Of ones little fin
ger. The vine is round, knotted at in
tervals. and covered with dark green
spear-shaped leaves. 1t throws out
number of thin arms or aerial roots as
it rises, which, attaching themselves to
neighboring trees, appear to derive
therefrom such nutriment that the
vines are little dependent on the soil
in fact, often when all other modes OF
supply are cut off these holdfasts will
entirely nour.sh the plant. Occasional

branches of the tree, and, running

agencies on which they depend Is

The pods vary from 5 to II inches In

Spanish word vainilla-a small scab-

A COOPERATIVE COLONY.
An Example In the Settlement Of Cosms
IS In Paraguay.

An Example II the settlement OF Cosms
In Paraguay.
Comparatively few persons ard
aware Of the existence in Paraguay OF
little English-speaking colony
named Cosme, and of it's attempt to
organize community on the highest
cooperative lines. Beginning in 1894
as the result of a secession from the
New Australia colony, the founders OF
Cosme seem to have steered clear OF
the shoals and auicksands which
wrecked the parent movement. One
of the fathers" of the colony, al.
though he is quite a young man, is
John Lane, who says of the colony:
I'VE are running now ON the lines on
which New Australia started; we are
our earnings equally, irrespective OF
the capacity Of the individual. The
present outlook is highly satisfactory.
but we want more adult members. Our
present population is sixteen women,
all married, and twenty-six men; for
ty-two all told, exclusive of the chill
dren We have $4,000 acres Of land,
half forest and half pasture, but only
the forest land is good for cultivation.
In the matter of finance our assets ex-
coed our liabilities, and that is gener-
ally considered to be sound position.
We can easily raise our own food sup
ply Every family lives in it's own
house, and the bachelors have houses
of their own, but take their meals at
the cooperative dining-room, their
cooking being done for them by col
ony labor This cooperative COM
monwealth is governed by what il
called parliament, although it is on
ly a committee of three, with a chair
man or director of the colony. The
ballot is taken by casting papers into
a hat. Speaking of the industrial con-
ditions in Cosme, Mr.. Lane said re-
Gently: eve have forty-five hours
week, eight hours day for five
days and five hours on Sat
urday. Work starts just after
sunrise and the men are en-
ployed in sugar-making and timber
work. The married women are not on
the organized working staff. They look
after the homes and any work they
do outside is voluntary. Single wom-

A Lesson on HOLSTERS.

The methods Of public school in
structioE, as applied in New York city,
do not always meet the appreciation OF
the parents of the pupils, as was evil
denced the other day when a German
woman of commanding figure strobe
into the school, and, approaching the
principal, demanded: What it is,
lobster?" The principal politely ex-
planned that a lobster was species OF
shellfish. well, how many legs has it
dis lobster?" The number of legs
was stated. "Vell, I work me for a
hurry, and if your teacher cannot f1no
better dings than to ask my boy Jakey
how many legs has it, lobster, and
