hard TIMES IN HONDURAS.
Commercial Paralysis Expected to
Result When Panama Canal
IL Built.

British Honduras is sometimes called
the Ireland of America. Blessed with a
soil of unsurpassed fertility, mild and
equable climate and a variety of natural
productions but rarely found within so
restricted an area, the colony is yet af-
fiicted with hard times. Although one
of the most thinly populated of the hab-
liable regions of the globe, the number
of it's inhabitants Is constantly decreas-
ing; the labor market is overstocked,
agricultural industries are declining,
trade and commerce languish and the
pinch Of depression is felt by all classes,
according to the Brooklyn Eagle.
The reason for this state of affairs is
not hard to discover. 1t is the same
curse that has crushed Ireland-ab-
sentee landlordism-in little different
but not less fatal form. The area of the
colony is only 1896 square miles. OF
this $500 square miles, or one-third, is
owned by one London land company.
In all more than four-fifths of the COL
ony is the property of handful OF
English proprietors who will not sell
nor lease nor permit settlement nor cul-
tivation. They derive sure, steady
and perpetual income by working the
mahogany, rosewood, cedar, logwood
and other natural products of the for
ests, and for this reason desire to keep
their domains forever 2 wilderness.

odor was completely removed In half a
minute with three ounces Of fresh
roasted coffee, while other parts of the
house were cleared of the smell simply
by passing through the rooms with a
roaster containing coffee The best
method for using coffee as a disinfectant
is to dry the raw bean. pound it In q
mortar and then roast the powder on

IMITATION GEMS.
8o Perfectly Made That Customs Om-
cials Find Difficulty in Telling
Them from True Gems.

Customs officials of the government
are learning something every day about
artificial gems and how they are made.
An expert knowledge is required to be
able to tell the difference between the
artificial and the genuine. The board
of general appraisers in New York has
recently had before it the question OF
what rate Of duty should be assessed on
artificial rubies, which now take the
place of the genuine SO often that none
but experts can tell the difference, says
a report from that city. General Ap-
praiser De Vries rendered an opinion
that the artificial rubies are properly
dutiable at ten per cent. ad valorem
as precious stones cut, but not set, either
directly or by similitude, under the pro-
visions of section Z, paragraph 435, OF the
Dingley act The decision of Mr.. De
Vries has been forwarded to the treas
ury department..
The rubies in question were invoiced
as reconstructed rubies." They were
consigned to a firm in st. Louis, which
took an appeal from the decision of the
surveyor of the port in that city that
they were dutiable at 20 per cent. ad
valorem. At the hearing OF the case
a member of the importing firm testified
that the artificial rubies we're made of
little chips of rubies that come from
the rough ruby in the cutting of the lat
ter, united together with glass and put
into kiln. They are subjected to such
a high degree of heat, he said. that they
are assembled and combined together.
These articles are known as "doublets." Z"
The board of appraisers, however, came
to the conclusion that the articles in
dispute were not made that way, and
that they are really artificial rubies.
The process of manufacture of arti-
ficial rubies has been known for quar-
ter of century to certain scientists in
Europe. and for many years was pre-
served as a secret by the French Acad-
emy Of Sciences. Within recent years,
however, defections on the part of the
workmen. necessarily intrusted with the
secret of manufacture, have impaired
this information to others, and the
process of manufacture has become
known and the subject of scientific
treatises and publications.

A BROTHERS SONG.
Uphill the burden must you bear7
O brother, sing, as on you fare!

Uphill the burden must you bear7
q brother, sing, as on you fare!
sNay, nay, the road is rough and steep
The narrow path 1 hardly keep
Already in the noontide heat
1 faint, and see, my faltering feet
And trembling hands are SCARED and torn
With thistle's whip and sword of thorn.
Too soon shall pass my mete of time
As up the toilsome height climb,
Where crags defy. and winds deride,
And foes assail on every side
The day Is short. the night is long,
No voice, no heart have for song!"
Aye, brother, sing; there's one behind
Who lists your voice, the path to find.
Sing loud and with his answering song
Your fainting courage shall grow strong!
Then rose a voice SO brave, so clear
The laggard pilgrim joyed to hear.
Light burst upon his darkened sense,
Hope quickened thought, once dull and
dense.
The sulen stream and threat ming rock,
That seemed his craven soul to mock.
Took up the blitheful, buoyant strain
And sang It Ger and Ger again,
Speeding the tardy footsteps on
Until, at last, the goal was won.
And 10! glad, victorious throng.
Brought hither by brothers song!

SHORTCAKE AND DISCIPLINE,
petites, But the Outcome Was
Very Satisfactory.

The sternness of the Roman father re-
sembles that which must be exercised
sometimes by trainer of athletes. The
coach of the Cornell university boat
crews is as strict as any such discipli-
marian, as he demonstrated on a certain
occasion when he had an eight-oared
crew "at the pink of perfection" The
squad had been moved to Poughkeepsie.
says the New York Telegraph, and upon
Its first trial spin was conceded by ex-
perts to have the race as good as won.
Nothing remained but to keep the men
In condition.
Sad to say, it was the strawberry
shortcake season. Exactly three days be-
fore the race against the picked crews Of
the eastern universities, five members Of
the Cornell crew encountered in a
Poughkeepsie restaurant strawberry
shortcake like those that mother used
to make" Possessed of appetites that
months of steady exercise had built up,
they devoured the shortcake even to the
last crumb.
The news of that breach Of discipline
came speedily to the ears of Coach Court
ney. The next morning five shamefaced
young athletes stood before him, and by
their humility acknowledged that they
had strayed from the narrow path.
Out you go!" said Mr. Courtney
But the five believed that in numbers
lay their strength. "You can't row a
boat race with only crew of three!"
they exclaimed in unison.
1t would be quite the same If the
whole boat load of you had done this
thing" replied Courtney. "Go!"
That afternoon new crew represented
the red and white in the practice spins
up and down the Hudson Newspaper
reporters Immediately rushed to the
telegraph Offices and wired to their
chiefs: Cornell practically out Of the
race! Five substitutes will row in the
race day after tomorrow" Mr.. Court
ney said nothing.
Gray-haired alumni who were begin
ming to reach Poughkeepsie in order to
cheer their college crew to victory called
upon the coach and begged him to re-
scind his order. Still he maintained sill
ence. A formal protest from the under
graduate body was placed before him.
His eyes merely looked away into space.
The five deposed men waited upon him
again. admitted they had erred, but de-
clared that the one shortcake had
wrought no evil.
Then and only then Courtney thun-
dered: Obedience to discipline is
fundamental rule of this navy! Col"
Many readers will remember the out
come Of that race-how the five substi-
tutes proved to be as good as, or better
than. the regulars, and how they simply
romped over the course in record time.
winners by several lengths. "Shortcake
did IT," was the Cornell slogan that
night
Il really didn't expect my boys to win
after that shake-up," explained Mr..
Courtney after the race, "but knew that
never should have to contend with
shortcake again."
