Meanest Traders in the World.

There is colony of Syrian mer-
chants in Kingston. the capital Of ia
maica. who could give cards and
spades even to the bland Chinaman
for ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain
They take one match out of every
box they sell until they have enough
matches to fill another box. and so
make an extra cent. They shave tiny
fakes off cakes of soap and boil them
down to make other cakes. They put
q thin layer of molasses on the bot
tom of the scoop with which they serve
rice. so that few grains will stick to
the bottom.
These are only few of their thou
sand tricks to turn dishonest penny.
Without doubt they are the meanest
traders in the world.

The Loon Birds Call.


Have you ever heard the loon birds
call? 1t is the weirdest cry Of all the
feathered tribe, and is only to be heard
on rare occasions OH the great inland
lakes of America. 1t sounds exactly
like the cry of woman in distress.
Like woman wailing for her demon
lover" said one man who had heard
it, quoting Coleridge.
81 heard a faint wall far away up
the lake." he continued, enlarging on
the experience 1T sounded like a
woman crying for succor. 1t was in
describably weird and narrowing. AS
the cry came drifting down the lake,
the very air seemed to be full of sor-
row."

A DISASTER AVERTED.
The Wife's Forgotten Message.

The Wife's Forgotten Message.
The great financier was pacing hast
lily up and down his private office, with
a frown Of perplexity mussing his
brow.

timidly putting his head in at the l:,or.
Get out| roared the great Lnan-

AS the moments fed his step grew

frown deepened until his bald spot al

the door far enough open to falter,

financier.
Another long half hour crawled into
the cavern of the past, and horrid anX-

Again the clerk, his face pallid, his
knees shaking, and his voice quaver-
ing, whispered through the keyhole,

BY this time the news had reached
the street. CONSERVATION reigned,
stocks went down and down, panic
was in the air. The outer Offices Of the
great financier swarmed with excited
magnates, their hearts in their throats.
There were whispered conferences,
grim and strenuous. At length the bold
est brushed the terrorized clerks aside
and strode sternly toward the private
Office AS he thrust the door wide
open he was greeted with a joyous
shout, shout of victory.
"That's it! that's it! knew / could
remember it" exulted the great tinan-
cier.
What is it? What is it?" clamored
the crowd, fighting and showing in its
eagerness to get within hearing.

financier, smiling triumphantly.-New

Here under the pines and hemlocks
glides an amber-brown brook, stained

Monkey and Parrot Work Together
i,;D IT,,

Monkey and Parrot Work Together.
Prairie dogs and rattlesnakes live
together in this country; in Brazil
monkeys and parrots also have inter
ests in common. They not only roost
In the same trees, but work for mutual
benefit.
The monkeys cannot easily pick the
big Brazil nut husks from the trees,
so the parrots giaw them loose, allow
ing them to drop, the fall to the ground
splitting them. Then the monkeys tear
the cracked husks asunder, gather the
nuts and divide them with the parrots.
Sometimes, when the husks fail to
split, the monkeys carry them up to
the highest limbs of the tree and let
them drop again.
Monkey and parrot enjoy their har-
vest side by side.
