The Cocoa Plantation.

A traveller in South America, where
the cocoa tree is largely cultivated,
speaks of the great care with which
the young plants have to be protected
from the sun, which. if very strong, is
fatal to them. TO secure this protec-
ton the planters shield them by ba-
mana trees and plantain trees the
broad leaves of which give them the
needed shade. And even when they
are fully grown they need protection,
which is given by trees known as "im-
morteIs." or. as the planters call them.

A WINNING TRICK.
He lost All Ills Bets and Made
Money by Doing So.


The captain of one rather old and
slow steamer of years ago, finding that
he would have to lee Il long time in
China before he received Il full cargo
of tea and would have probably to re-
turn in ballast. began, to every ones
establishment. to say that owing to the
repairs that had been done to his en-
gincS. he hoped to make a racing pas
sage back to England. Then. still more
to the establishment of the captains of
the fast steamers and the world at
large. he commenced to back himself to
make the fastest passage home.
In such very considerable sums of
money did he wager that people began
to think there was something in it, and
the merchants sent their tea almost en-
tircly to his ship, arguing that as the
captain stood to lose $500 the repairs to
his steamers engines had probably put
him in position to bet almost on
certainty.
OF course the steamer, whose great
est speed was eight knots an hour, ar
rived in England weeks after the 9th
Crs. and the captain lost ZOO, but III
stead of having to lie in China waiting
his chance Of cargo coming in from the
interior. Il probable delay of weeks, he
had cleared in few days after his
bets became known to the public with
