Farming In Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is a mountainous country,
and consequently some portions are
not naturally adapted to machinery. In
the level parts the land needs to be
cleared of rocks and the roots of trees,
which in this tropical climate grow to
a great length and make it necessary to
use great care in breaking up the soil to
avoid running the pillow.

The cavern rat, found in the Nam

blush color, with white neck and feet.

and when the experiment has been
made of catching a cavern rat and turn
ing it loose in bright sunlight 1t blum
ders about, striking itself against every
thing, IS unable to provide itself with
food and finally falls down and dies.
In it's native depths, however, it is able
TO lead a comfortable enough existence,
as its enormously long whiskers are So
extremely sensitive that they enable il
to, find It's way rapidly through the dark,

rat consists of a kind OF large cricket of
a pale yellow color, and, like most other
cave dwellers, itself perfectly blind.

KING EDWARDS PRESCIENCB.
High Com Iinent Paid England's
Ruler by n Leading French
journal.

The recent change in the tone of the
French press in regard to Great Britain
is well exhibited in an article which ap-
peared lately in Gil Bias, one of the most
Partisan OF all the Paris papers, says
the New York Times.
Gil Bias, in commenting on the ap-
preaching visit of President Loubet to
England, dwelt upon the deep impress
sion made on British public opinion by
the French sympathy manifested last
year at the time of King Edwards Ill
ness. 1t went on to assure the French
people hat the feeling with which the
British nation would welcome President
Loubet would be something more sin
cere and durable than that usually ex-
cited on such occasions. A powerful
current Of opinion in favor of a good IN
~derstanding between the two nations
had, it said, arisen on both sides Of the
channel. Gil Bias added:
There is no European statesman or
diplomatist who has q sounder and
clearer conception of international re-
lations than King Edward. During a
period Of 80 years while prince Of Wales
. he took advantage of his leisure
to study the institutions and the devel-
opment of parties in the different coun-
tries he visited. His personal relations
with sovereigns, statesmen, politicians,
and even party leaders, which inter-
course was by no means precluded by
his position, have given him an eXcep-
tional knowledge Of European poll
tics. Endowed with extraordinary sa-
gacity and acuteness, he has thus ac-
ouired an unparalleled experience.
king Edward recognized the move
ment tending to bring together the
French and English peoples, which there
is reason to believe corresponds to his
own desire. He did so in advance Of his
| advisers, and even before it was realized
in Paris or London. He resolved to take
advantage of this movement and in a
| certain sense to reveal it to the Eng
lish as we'll as the French people, in or
der that they should benefit thereby"

Two Stories by n Preacher.

Rev. DIR. Parkin, in his address be-
fore the Ministerial union at Wither-
spoon hall one Monday, told two good
stories. The first was of a young min
lister in the coal regions who had an
impeachment in his speech. He tried
many remedies without avail, till at
last, after saving goodly proportion
of his salary by denying himself the
comforts of life, he came to Philadel-
phia to be cured, because he had
heard there were so many speak
easies" here. The other was min
lister whose educatiot in business
matters had been sadly neglected. He
had q small charge also, and eked out
a living by writing for tho papers.
One day he received check for SIS,
made payable to his order. He>took
it to the local bank, and, handing it
In, was told to indorse it. He hesi-
tated a moment, and then, taking up
the precious document. wrote on the
back: 81 heartily indorse this check"
