no new cases until otherwise directed.
Considerations of moment not confined
to Porto Rico or individuals involved
have moved administration, after full
Invest ton and elaboration, TO course

But If the judge calls upon you or the

The fact that the government may not

that the treasury department approved

PRESIDENT PARRY.

1t beyond any doubt. If the Manufac-
turers' association in convention at
New Orleans indorses Mr.. Parry's un-
justified, undigested and malicious
antagonism to the effort of the work

provement they simply write them
selves down to his low level and stand
committed with him for all the injury
which must follow from his rabid ut
terances, his venomous and ignorant
antagonism, which must provoke only
resentment and retaliation.

Ever since the Indians in the section
of Vermont now known as Fletcher
discovered "honey" in the maple trees
that district has been known far and
wide as the heart Of the Vermont sug-
ar country. The way the red men eX-
tracted the delicious compound was
somewhat slow as compared with the
present process. He used to cut a
slanting cash in the bark and insert
in the lower end a gauge shaped piece
pf wood. from which the sap ran and
Cropped into a poplar or Eastwood
trough. At the end Of the season
these troughs would be set up against
the trees and left until the following
season. by which time the troughs
woLld be thoroughly widowed.
This materially added to the flavor
of the aboriginal sugar, but can hardly
be said to have improved it. The
]evaporator of those times consisted of
an iron kettle swung from a sapling
bent over a stump. BY a slow and
tedious process the sap was first heat
ed and then boiled in this kettle, often
taking two or three days boiling be-
fore it could be sugared off. This was
the way in which the redskins and the
early Vermonters eked out a sweet
nin' of their tea and johnnycake.

How Green Turtle. Feed.

The green turtles of southern Flor
ida live in deep water and feed on sea
plants. mostly the kind called turtle
grass" which they cut off near the
roots, eating the lower parts and leav-
ing the tops floating so that it collects
in great fields and marks the spots
where the animals are to be hunted
for by the fishermen. After browsing
on such ocean pastures the green tur-
ties go to the mouths of rivers for
baths of fresh water, which they seem
to need from time to time. The Flor
ida fishermen say the reptiles enter the
creeks and roll together masses OF
grass. cementing them into balls with
clay. When the turn Of the tide takes
the balls out to sea they follow them.
The fishermen watch for such balls
floating down the creeks, and when
they see them they stretch nets across
the mouths of the streams and always
catch the turtles.

A clever French Captive.

A person who was supposed to be the
French General Mouton. count de 10
bau, was once captured by an English
vessel, but after a time the captain dis
covered that his prisoner was the
Count de Montrond. "Why did you de-
ceive me?" he demanded angrily of the
count. II did not deceive YOU" replied
Montrond; not at all. You thought
was General Mouton. You told me so.
You have a fifty gun frigate. Was it
for me, who have only a pocket pistol.
to contradict you?"
The captain did not forgive Montrond
and took every opportunity to treat
him rudely. One evening at dinner
some one proposed the health Of the
French. AS Montrond rose to acknowl-
edge it the captain cried: "They are all
cowards! l make no ex~ceptions!'
When Montrond's turn came he gave
this sentiment: 1.-The E~nglish-they are
all gentlemen. but l make exceptions"

I, rnere an American Face,

The English face, the Jewish face.
the Irish face, the Italian face, the
Chinese face, the Japanese face, the
French face, the Indian face, even the
negro facial these have something
about them which calls up a definite
picture in ones mind. But the Amer
lean face has no strong characteristic
to di%fferentiate it from other faces of
superior races, remarks London Health.
1t is international, for here and there
n may find the traces which suggest
q relation to this, that or the other face.
1t may be a line or a ligament be-
queathed by an early English ancestry.
or something suggestive of Teutonic
origin. or a sharp suggestion Of the
Frenchman's face or the 1rishman's or
the Italians or the S%cotchman's. But
when one must deal with the American
abstractly one can scarcely call up the
American face.
Uncle Sam, with his striped trousers,
his sharply cut coat, his plug hat, his
whiskers and his bland, good natured
co%untenance, is a happy conception,
yet he may never hope to portray the
matchless and indescribable cosmopoli-
tanism of the American face.

AIuftt and Gold Lace.

Officers Of the army on duty in the
war department wear uniforms the
same as if they were on duty at mill
tary posts. The practice has resulted
in making nearly every occupied
by officers a dressing room, where
wardrobes are kept. Most officers dis
like very much to appear on the street
in uniform; it makes them too con-
%spicuous. Uniforms for use in the de-
partment are kept in a wardrobe, and
the officers put them on when they
arrive in the morning, take them off
and don civilian dress to go to lunch
con, and upon their return in the
afternoon and departure for home
later go through the same process.
They don't like it, but it is an order.
For. people doing business Mt the de-
partment it is much better, for a
stranger knows whether he is talking
with an officer or a clerk, and If ia
miliar with the emblems can tell the
rank Of the Observation-Disclosures Post.

Precious Seeds.

The c~alceolaria seed is so minute
that the actual cost Of producing the
finest strain exceeds ten times the
weight Of the seed in pure gold! The
outlay in growing double begonia
seed is so great that a liberal allow
ance for a five shilling packet is meas
ured in a tiny spoon with an outside
diameter of three-sixteenths Of an
inch. And yet in. that tiny spoonful
there would be enough seed to pro-
duce more than a hundred stately be-
gonia plants! Naturally such very
minute and precious seed has to be
handled with extreme care, and as a
sudden draft from an open door would
scatter perhaps f100 worth. the coun-
tiers where the seeds are packeted
are closed to traffic and SO arranged
that not a puff of wind ever enter.

Timber hooks.

There is at Cassel a library probably
unique IN the world. 1t is bound in
timber, printed on timber ~pages-pos-
sibly from wood blocks-and deals ex-
clusively with timber. The library in
question is the Holzbiblistek, which
compiled at the end of the last CEN
fury by Karl Schieldbach and IS COM
posed of about 500 volumes made from
trees in the park at Wilhelmshohe.
Every volume bears on a tab-not in
timber. but, queerly enough, in moroc-
co-the name Of the tree from which it
was obtained. There are plates of the
tree in all stages of its growth, and the
letterpress is a treatise on the forest
ing and natural history of the tree.

How Pausaniu. Died.

Pausanius. the Greek general, died
by self administered poison. When
hotly pursued by those sent to appre-
bend him on a charge Of treason and
sacrilege he took refuge in the sane
tuary Of a temple. Unable to remove
him by force and also unwilling to
violate the sanctuary. the officers
walled up the entrance and began to
unroof the building. When he could
be seer they noticed that he was chew
ing something which proved to be a
quill filed with poison. By the time
the work had sufficiently advanced to
admit of their entrance he was In a
dying condition.

The Panama SILK Tree.

One of the greatest curiosities of the
Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk
tree. 1t is a plant that grows from
fifteen to twenty feet high, and in ap-
pearance does not differ greatly from
other trees, but the inner bark is a per-
feet silky fiber, long, smooth and
strong. The natives separate it by
some method best known to them
selves, the process somewhat resem-
bling that of beating fax. When once
It is separated and spun into threads,
1t can be woven into a fabric so closely
resembling silk that it is difficult for
any one not familiar with it to dis
unguish between the two.
