told that the people far north who bought the beans no longer cared for them as much as formerly; and, be- sides, the high prices that had long been paid for the beans had induced many persons in South America to go into the business with the result that more beans were being gathered than could be sold The natives knew little about the law of supply and demand and they understood little except that they were working as hard as ever but every year were receiving a little less money for their toll,
 The price finally dropped so low that it dawned upon their minds that it was not worth while to pick tonka beans any longer. They had reached a point where they were beginning to feel very uncomfortable because they had so lit- tie money to spend. But what could they do? What could they raise to sell that would bring them the money they needed?
 The problem was fairly we'll solved at last, though the profits of the set tiers are still much below what they formerly were. Rice had been one of their crops for home consumption and they found. by inquiring at Ciudad Bolivar, that rice could be sold in that town. So the settlers began to raise several times as much rice as they had ever done before, and as it would not nay to carry it so far in their small boats they engaged a small fiat-bottom steamer to come up for the crop. Ev- cry year the steamer goes up the Caura for the rice and the relations of the settlers with the outside world are again improving.-From the New York Sun.

thousand dollars, and there are fully six thousand boats in use. Twice that number of men and boys are engaged directly In the industry, to say nothing of several hundred women who make fair wages at the factories where hard shell crab meat is picked and prepared for shipment to market. Owing to the immense amount of phosphorous in crab meat 1t has been found difficult to can it so that 1t will keep we'll, and on this ac- count the larger part of the crab meat is shipped in buckets and tubs to the larger cities. Hardshell crabs are not troublesome or expensive to ship, it be- ing found that they can be dumped into sacks or boxes like potatoes or corn. It takes great deal of knocking aroundt to kill hardshell. The average gross price a hundred for hardshells is sixty cents. .s 5~,s s..e-.s,.4f. ss 53s5
 The crabbers are a rough and hardy set of people, but are scrupulously hon. est in their dealings. They believe in acting on the square, and whenever they receive any other treatment from a packer or commission man they do not hesitate to tell him so, and then the fact that the dealer or commission man has acted in bad faith Is passed down the line, and more than one man has been put out of business here by a boycott on the part of the crabbers, they refusing to sell to him. In his canoe the crabber lis entirely at home, and earns from twelve to twenty dollars a week during the grabbing season, and as soon as this is over they go into the business of oys- ter dredging, thus losing little time. A majority of the boats employed are small open sailboats, but there are a large number of flat bottomed, board built bateaux and skiffs, and a consid- erable number of small sloop rigged deckboats.
 From two o'clock in the morning until after the sun is up is 8 busy and inter- esting time around the wharves, for 1t is in these hours of the early morning that the crabbers start on their crab bling trips. They. begin returning in the early afternoon and selltheir catch to the shippers. Few of the crabbers ship their catch themselves. Dredges, scrapes and dipnets are extensively used, but many crabbers prefer the trotline, which is baited with tripe, tons of this being used every season. Sub- stantially the same mode of grabbing is used for both soft and hard crabs.
 The sounds, rivers, creeks and marsh Ees in the vicinity of Criefeld may be said to team with crabs; so great is the supply that it seems almost inexhaustf- ble. The fishery will probably never re- suit in serious diminution of the species, for, as it is now prosecuted, only those are taken which come up in shallow wa- ter.-New York Tribune.

A NEW TEXT.
Southern Preacher Gives Food for
 Thought.

Coffee works in many different and unsuspected ways. MT. F. L. Wesson, pastor of Baptist Church of Sardis, Miss, writes:
 q loved coffee from my infancy, and never knew of it hurting me until I was B years old. I suffered with headaches if forced to do without it, and some times used 1t three times day, but headache had been one of the ills of our family. and therefore I thought it was an inherited evil for which coffee was a special remedy, but about nine years ago, began to suffer from sleepless- ness, which continued until it seemed as if my nerves would wreck for want of sleep, and yet could not sleep.
 A friend suggested that quit coffee except for breakfast which I did, and so found that I could sleep little better. but my headaches continued, and my nervous system would sometimes seem as if the very flores of my flesh were moving within me. It went on until three years ago I began to suffer at night with an itching sensation on my limbs below my knees and on my arms below the elbows, and sometimes all over my body, but there was no erup- tion on the skin; the flesh was smooth and white. I consulted several good physicians, but with no avail.
 I had no idea that the coffee I drank in themorning caused it, but finally de- cided to stop coffee for @ while, and try Postum Food Coffee. Wife made it according to directions so that liked it equally as we'll as coffee. I had no idea that it would relieve the awful itching deep down in my flesh. but was any virtue in 1t. I had used it only a few days, when I discovered that the itching was not so severe. When I had used it ten days, my wife said, What is the matter with you? You do not seem to be troubled with that itching sensation I told her that I did not know what was the cause, but knew that was not troubled with the itching any more and was thankful for it.
 I then went over to preach in another town, and while there drank some strong coffee, and the itching returned. When I came back home, commenced using Postum again, and the itching ceased Then I decided that coffee in some way produced the itching. drink Postum three times 8 day, and rest as we'll as I ever rested, and never have headaches any more. I believe that hundreds of preachers who suffer from indigestion, nervousness and worry, would find rest and health if they would gut coffee and use Postum.''

What their next step will be can not say, but they understand that we cannot be moved. I repeat we will not meet them again. It is frivolous and is bound to result in further ill-feeli,Ig."
 Another operator said: It Is not for us to consider more matters of political expediency. Had so-called statesmen kept their hands off, the strike would have been settled long ago. We have taken a stand for principle, and no amount of argument will budge us,'
 J. P. Morgan, who conferred with several of the operators during the day, would not discuss latest developments, but it is known that he has not swerved from his purpose not to become a party to the controversy.

Mr.. Ferguson is studying for some way
to take care of the boys who are sent
10 the penitentiary from Oklahoma. H
declares that at times ne is tempted to
pardon all those under a certain age be-
cause the penitentiary is no pi<ce for
them, and Yet there is no other place
they can be confined. The territory has
no reformatory. The governors study
os this matter will probably mature into
something very material before long.

BURGLARS At 81 RENO
They Made Raid But Results Were
Not Good.

Guthrie, o. T. Dec. 1.-The busy bur
glar is giving unrest to EI Reno citizens.
The American tells this story OF a raid
Tuesday night: The burglar has begun
work for the winter and the first raids
were made last night. No great amount
was secured at any one place. although
it IS net definitely known just how much
is gone from any one place. They went
g. the Peach Bros grocery store on the
corner CT Bickford and Wade streets and
gained entrance at the back door. broke
some boards which had been nailed over
the door and crawied in. Inside they
broke the boards OF the bottom Of the
money drawer and secured 50 or 81 which
h2d Eecn left there for the early morning
use. They then went TO the cigar case.
took several boxes OF cigars. some chew
ing tobacco and other little things. Some
few groceries were also taken. but none
Of any consequence.
At the store of Cody & Fowler, for
rneriy owned by Conville < Son. or North
Bickford. they made another raid The
glass had been broken out of the rear
door and boards nailed over. The bot
tom board was pried Of by the burglars
ana lhey ieacAed thTOuSh ana raised th@
transom and then climbed up and cut the
screen and crawled through The money
drawer was opened and 81 in pennies was
taken. At another drawer they got a sill
yer dollar which had been bent and
battered. At the cigar case they filled
their pockets took some coffee and a few
other articles. In getting out they lower
ed the back window and cut the screen.
It looked at this place as if the work
had been done by someone who was
thoroughly acquainted with the interior
