THE CONSIDERABLE CUSTOMER.
He Arose to the Occasion and Gave
the. Inconsidernte Groceryman
Hard One.

The customer would have paid the
grocer's bill promptly, but didn't have
the money by him just at that mo-
ment, and how could he? 4 good many
of us know just how it is under those
circumstances. Of course, if we all
kept grocery stores it would be differ
ent, but we don't. says the New York
Herald.
The grocer in very unfeeling man
ner was telling the unfortunately inn
pecunious customer what he thought
of people who bought things and did
not have the money to pay for them,
and the customer was thinking of
something to say back at him.
II don't think" he said feebly, 'tthat
you have any right to talk to me that
way. It is positively cruel"
'sWell,' retorted the grocer, "you
ought to be talked to in that way It
is my style. Some people are so ten
der hearted that they wouldn't hurt
a fly, but I'm not"
This reference to fly suggested to
the customer that he, too, had a griev-
ance, and it gave him a tip also as to
saying something sarcastic.
EYES," he responded, with quite a
sniffy air, 'sand some of the fly paper
we buy in the same grocery stores is
just as considerate."
This brilliant retort so strengthened
the Gust toner that he was able to walk
right out of the store, leaving the gro

In Other Countries Than Our Own
DoINGs THE PEOPLE OF MANY LANDS -CHRoN-
ICLED SHORT CORRESPONDENCE.

The Ivory Coast OF Africa is a
French colony lying on the west of
. the Gold ceast. The boundaries be-
tween the two colonies were defined
In 1898, as the result of a convention
which was drawn by an Anglo
French commission. Since. then
both colonies have shown the usual
tendency to push into the hinterland,
with the inevitable result that more
delimitation has had to be done. An
Anglo-French commission according
~ landed at AKIN, in the Gold Coast
colony, last autumn, and is proceed
ing inland as far as the ninth paral-
lel-that is to say, about SOC miles
inland. The Ivory Coast became a
separate French colony in 1898, it
having previously been under the ju-
risdiction of the governor of Sene-s
gal. Towards the interior it in
cluded, as a protectorate, the Kong
territory, and has, like all other
French colonies \ this region, joins
with the French ;'oudan, and row in
cludes the districts of Odienneh,
Kong and Donna, which formed part
of that territory. The two principal
French towns are ASSUME and Grand
Bassam. The latter town is on the
coast, and was, unth lately, the seat
of government. Owing to the I'M
healthiness of Grand Bassam, the
governor now resides at BingervilIe,
in the Bay of Abidjeau, an inlet on a
lagoon communicating with the Com
oe river. As there is no direct COM
munication with the sea from here
except through the lagoon to Grand
Bassam, a short canal to be cut
through she strip of land i'm
mediately opposite which shuts out
the waters of the lagoon from the
ocean-that is to say, at Little Bas-
sam. This will enable seagoing
steamers to come straight into the
lagoon from Bingerville. There is
also scheme afoot to run light
railway from Bingerville northward
into the Kong district. Roads are
being rapidly constructed in the col
ony. The one leading to Bonduku, it
is said. taps the Gold Coast Hinter-
land, and there is the beginning of
the matter to be settled. Bondul1u is
fast becoming the center of trade be-

Fish Not a Brain Food.

Some people think that to eat an
enormous quantity of fish will give
them an enormous quantity of brains,
but, according to medical paper, this
is a great mistake. The jewellers by
the seattle Eskimo and the fisher
men of Labrador have not shown any
preponderance of brains. And because
stale fish shine with hosphorescent
light in the dark we must not think it
particularly rich in phosphorus. AS
matter of fact there is more water
than phosphorus in fish.

tween the French Soudan and the
coast. 800
The. last British consular report
draws attention to the trade of
Bondul1u, and goes on to say that
Trench firms appear to be taking the
place of those of other nationalities
on the Ivory coast. Recent visitors
to the Ivory coast describe the col
ony as one huge gold mine. The
Ivory Coast colony possesses the pc
culiarity of being one of the few
French colonies which receive no as
distance from the home government,
but, on the other hand, pays small
contribution to the mother country.
Foreirn Comm cree of German South
west Africa.
The foreign commerce OF German
Southwest Africa made favorable
progress in 1901 The exports in
creased from $214.20o in 1900 to $297,-
500. This increase consisted chiefly
of guano, which is almost exclusive
ly in the hands of a large English es-
tablishment in Cape Town. Ostrich
feathers are rapidly becoming an ar
ticle of export. In. former years the
natives were in the unrestricted pos
session of firearms, and it was their
chief delight Il shoot these profit
able birds. To-Day, the natives are
permitted to haze arms only in linn
tied quantities, therefore the ostrich
culture is begiF Ring to revive. The
imports into &c Southwest Aft
RIGA increased from S1,666.o00 in 1900

ported are railway materials, bridges,
cement. lumber, beer and coal.

Industrial Conditions In Liege, Bell

The industrial outlook here has

industries. Three steel plants here
are working on 5o,ooo-ton order of

has just been closed for $4,000 tons
for a road in Maryland; many small
er orders for structural steel and
rails have also been received.
During the. past quarter, there
was shipped through Liege $22,s74.56
worth of structural steel and ST.
367.56 worth of steel rails and access
sories. There was also decided in
crease in the value of glassware
shipped, amounting to $57,171.74 for
the quarter. A party from the Unit
ed States is in the market for $4,000
