euINlNE a srAsLE FOOD.
Our Growing Appetite For 1T May Make
IT as Popular as Pie.

Quinine has become one of our staple
forms of food, 1t is more widely
and ardently eaten than garlic, and it
may soon approach the popularity of
pie.
According to a report recently issued,
considerably more than 10000 pounds
of qunine were manufactured in India
in 1902. the greater part in Madras,
while Java manufactured nearly A.
900 pounds. In addition to this. over
100000 pounds of cinchona bark
were produced chiefly i'll Java and III
dia, and this was reckOned to be equiv
alent to another 100000 pounds Of
quinine so that the total product of
the food for the year was nearly mil
lion pounds.
There are twenty manufactures of
quinine in existence. Of which FIVE are
in France, three in England, two each
in Germany and Italy, one in Holland,
four i'll America, two in India and one
in Java. The two principal markets
for quinine arc Amsterdam and Lon
don, and the latter has greatly di-
minished in Importance since the Gull
tivation of cinchona in Java has as
sumed such large proportions. In fact,
nearly three times as much bark was
sold at Amsterdam in 1902 so that, al
though we probably use more quinine
than any other nation, the Dutch are
taking the trade away from all the rest
of us. India has already taken the
hint and is stimulating her growth of
cinchona.- Boston Transcript.

WISE WORDS.

"You cannot prove that yeu are good
by proving that somebody else is bad"
Let man learn that every thing in
nature goes by law, and not by luck,
and that what he sows he reaps.-
Emerson.
Language is a solemn thing; it grows
out Of life-out Of its asonies and costa
cies, its wants and it's WEAKNESS. Ev-
cry language is a temple in which the
soul of those who speak it is en-
shrined.
The poorest outward condition will
do nothing to oblterate the solemnity
from life. Nay, Of nothing may we be
more sure than this: that. if we cannot
sanctify our present lot, we could sane
tify no other.
There is no external politeness which
has not a root in the moral nature of
man. Forms of politeness, therefore,
should never be inculcated on young
persons without letting them under
stand the moral ground Oh which all
such forms rest.-Goethe.
There is no harm in being respected
in this world as | have found out;
and if you don't brag a little for your
self. depend on it there is no person OF
your acquaintance who will tell the
world Of your merits. and take the
trouble off your hands.
Why. it is asked, are there so many
snares? That we may not fly low,
but may seek the things which are
above. For just as birds, so long as
they cleave the upper air, are not easily
caught, so thou also, as long as thou
lookest at things above, wilt not easily
be captured. whether by snare or by
any other device of evil-Chry session..
1t is Just as athletic a performance
to wrestle with the princes of the dark
ness OF this world as to wreStle with
Il champion. 1t needs just as rigorous
training to pull against circum.
stances as to pull against time. 1t APP
pears not unreasonable that the SUI

should have from a man as much atten-
ton and development as a man gives

FOG AT vLADIvosTok.
Lighthouse Keeper Who lS the Butt
Of Sailors Jokes.

OF odIlOTS JOKES
A few miles north of Vladivostok,
says the Washington Post, is a noun
tain that descends abruptly into the
sea. On it. about 200 feet above the
water, the Russian government has
established lighthouse for the guild
ance of the ships that steer south
along the coast, bound for the port OF
Vladivostok from the Gulf Of Tartary
and the Okhotsk Sea.
This lighthouse is the subject of an
international practical joke. The sail
ors of all nations play it regularly on
the lighthouse keeper, and the latter
although he knows it, cannot help
himself on account of the nature OF
the joke.
Owing to certain peculiar natural
conditions, the mountain on which the
lighthouse stands is wreathed in
dense fogs often when the ocean be-
low is perfectly clear. Thus, it hap
pens that the sailors can see the base
of the mountain, but not the light
house, while the lighthouse keeper
can see nothing.
Naturally, when he sees the fog all
around him, he sets his fog signal
going by ringing great bell at fire.
quent intervals. So for a long while
the crews of assing ships used to
laugh when they steamed by the hid
den lighthouse and heard the lonely
keeper patiently ringing his fog bell
while they sailed over q clear, mist
less sea.
Then they began to play prank
en- him. 1t is his duty, when he hears
vessels sounding their fog signals, to
reply with a great steam siren that is
maintained in the lighthouse as a fog
horn. So the captains of passing
ships, hearing the bell ringing high up
on the mountainside, tCot their steam
whistles as if they, too, were in the
fog. Then the poor lighthouse keep
er gets busy Immediately and begins
to work his siren furiously, keeping it
up till the ship has passed from hear
ing.
There is hardly ship that enters
Vladivostok that has not been put urs
to this joke; and as opportunities for
jest are not common in the Siberian
seas, it is likely that the lighthouse
keeper on the mountain will continue
to have the trick played on him as
long as the fogS wreathe his lonely
eyrie.
