ourio.itie. of tn. cac.o Tree.

The cultivation of cacao, says writer
IN The Scientific American, Is an invit-
ing agricultural pursuit In Trinidad
and parts Of Venezuela. The cacao tree
cannot Withstand strong sunshine, aud
she young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plantain trees and later,
when they attain their growth, by tall
trees known as ''lmmortelles," or the
mother of the cacao." These make a
kind of canopy over the entire planta-
tiop. The fruit of the cacao tree Is pod
resembling cucumber and growing on
the trunk or large branches, where Ii
"looks as though II 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.

How to Learn to Like p.o.ur...

The following suggestions, II you
please, are not from an artist nor even
from a connoisseur, the writer being
nothing more than an ordinary picture
lover, In general the principle to be
followed is to get as much In an atmos-
phere Of pictures as possible. Always
so to the museums when you are trav-

make occasional picture visits to Bos'
ton. Chicago or New York. Do not
make the mistake Of staying too long
in a gallery. You only tire yourself.
Half an hour Is quite long enough. But
do not endeavor TO look at every pic
ture In the gallery In that time. Look
long at a few good ones and let those
YOU look at be those you like or at least
those which you prefer above the 9th
ers, Also ask yourself why you prefer
them. Always get catalogue. Some
times the pictures are not marked. ana

pass. being talked to death by Senator
Carter, of Montana. This feat, which
signalized his retirement from the
Senate after six years of brilliant SER

notable occurrences in the history Of

a. m. amid a demonstration from its
members following the delivery of an

ing hour, Mr. Richardson, of Tennes-
see, the minority leader, presented res
olutions testifying the high regard Of
the House for the manner in which
Speaker Henderson had administered
the duties of presiding officer. The
resolutions were adopted unanimously
by a rising vote. Then the Speaker, in
slow and impressive tones, delivered
his closing words to the House, thank
ing the members for their cooperation
through busy and eventful Congress.
In retiring as the President pro TEN.
Of the Senate, Mr.. Frye in response to
O resolution of thanks for his courtesy
and impartiality delivered brief but
feeling address to the Senate.

Pageant Washington Has Ever Seen.
Washington, D. Civilian McKin-

of New York, were inaugurated Presi-

States, Mr.. Roosevelt first taking the
oath of Office in the Senate Chamber,
and President Mckinley being sworn
into office again on the main portico of
the Capitol. The ceremony Of admin
istering the oath of office to the Presi-
dent was marred by slight fall
of rain, which afterward turned
for an hour or more into a steady
downpour. The success Of the inaugu-
raj programme was not seriously
clouded, however, by this disagreeable
incident. The shower was an April
one, and soon gave way to clearing
skies, which assured the uninterrupted
continuance of the outdoor celebra-
ton.
The Presidents drive from the
White House to the Capitol was the
occasion for unbounded enthusiasm.
