A B C'S IN JAMAICA.
What Visitors Found Children Re-

what visitors Found Children Re-
citing on That Island.
Away back in the heart of Jamaica
we found tiny schoolhouse, and. hav.
ing desire to visit a native school, we
descended from our open carriage and
raped upon the door.
Just then the loud changing of a deep
toned bell in a tree near by almost
startled us from the steps, and then out
dashed a troop of children of all ages
and colors of complexion from light
shade of tan to a dusky black.
1t was recess, we were told by the
pleasant faced colored man who proved
to be the teacher and who showed us
into the schOolroom and after much
searching found a couple of empty
chairs for us to sit upon. The room
was partly filed with long benches,
with continuous line of desks in front
of them. After a short time the boys
and girls trooped in to take their accus-
toned seats, at the ringing of the great
bell in the tree.
As there was no class which we de-
sired to hear more than another the
smallest children were told to repeat
the alphabet. This they did while sit
ting on their hard seats
Here is their alphabet word for word,
as afterward procured from a native
lawyer, for we could not understand
fully every word as the children pro-
nounced them:
A is fer Assanoo. look how him tan;
B tan fu Buckra. very bad man;
G Is fu Pussy, name Maria;
D is flu Dupee. him eyes shine like fire:
E is fu Eel, him live in the ferry;
+ tan fu Fiddle. him play so sweet and
merry;
G tan fu Gubnor, him live in king house,
H tan for old Harbor. place poor, like
church mouse;
l tan for Gentleman, very well bred;
] tan for John Crow, him have peel head;
K tan for Kalaloo, sweet when him billed;
1. tan for Lizard. him have green tail;
NJ tan for Monkey. look pom him face;
n tan for Mamma, him hat trim with lace:
o tan for Elephant, look on him snout;
tan for Patock (owD, at night him come
out;
Q tan for Quattie (piece of money!. beg

r tan for Rata, him tiptoe pom cheese;
s tan for Snake. him lib in the grass;
T tan for Toadie, him forward and fast;
u tan for Uncle, please tell him "how-dy;"
v tan for Vervine, make very good tea;
w X Y, really forget;
z. old Zebdee mending his net.
This achievement caused the face of
the teacher to shine gloriously.-New

Our Gold Industry.
n the Providence Journal

From the Providence Journal.
The unusually large amount Of gold coin
ed by the United States government last
year is not only measure of the financial
banking and monetary requirements of the
country; it shows also that the American
gold industry is rapidly growing. Part of
the gold coinage was exported; most of it
kept at home, but a still larger stock or
the precious metal in the form of bullion
has been disposed of In the two fields. Cir
cumstances and normal business laws-the
latter in their largest sphere. the world
have combined to render the gold-producing
business. as one may say more profitable,
considering the same modes of production,
than ever, and the United States possesses
such stories of the raw material" placer
gold, gold-bearing quartz and other forms
of the metal in natural state, that Il
responds to the demand for the metal as 1t
would for iron and as 1t certainly does now
for copper. The profits of the business are
large.

Preserve the Wild Flowers.

From the Atlanta journal.
That is an admirable plan of the Wild
Flower Preservation Society of America to
arrange during the winter season for the
active carrying on of it's commendable Ia
bors in the early spring. At the recent
meeting of the society at Philadelphia IL
received a new impulse for the somewhat
difficult yet not impossible task 1t has I'M
dertaken for the quickening Of public senti-
ment In favor of regard for forest ana
field treasures and for the crystallizing of
popular feeling into adequate legislation
The promoters of the movement wisely
recognize that it will take time to educate
public sentiment until 1t Will secure the
essential enactment and enforcement or
laws for the safeguarding of natural
beauty, just as it has taken time to educate
public sentiment up to the point of enforc-

and song birds and the conservation OF
forest areas, movements which are decided
~ akin in spirit and results. The need for
action as regards the wild flowers is equally
urgent, for, 1t is stated on good authority.
that unless something is done soon 1t Will
be too late to save some of the most beau
tiful native plants from extinction In settled
localties-the very place where they Will
do the most good, as is aptly pointed out
This statement has ample demonstration
in the country districts in the vicinity of
great cities, the park areas and in summer
resorts, where thoughtlessness has resulted
in the denuding of beauty spots and in the
leaving of waste places in their stead. 1t
is a well-known fact that owing to the lack
of efficient protection in popular sentiment
many of the wild flowers that were the
glory of Middlesex Fells have disappeared,
and their former haunts are deSoiated. Sew
eral years ago the mayfower grew in COM
parative abundance all around New York

THE TYRANNY OF FASHION.
Stiff Hats, Stiff Collars and Stiff Cor
Gets Cause Discomfort.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
It is strange fact that, independent as
Americans profess to be and on the whole
are they cannot rise above certain arbi-
trary fashions that are ugly, inconvenieEt
and positively injurious to health. 1t would
seem the easiest thing imaginable to sub
stitute something sane and pleasing In an
article of dress for one that Is uncom-
Portable to wear and well-nigh hideous to
be seen, but even the one who follows
fashion only afar of will have to admit
that no small part of his mode OF Dress
Ing Is due to fashion and not to comfort
or utility.
1t is not women alone who are subject
to this tyranny. Men who are rational on
other points, who believe in comfort and
exercise great deal OF common sense In

regard to it. VIII stiil obey custom-under
protest, to be sure but none the less they
obey. The most unconventional will wear
slim hats knowingsythat they are sure to
induce badness. They will wear stiff. high
collars and suffer great inconvenience
rather than adopt a picturesque tie that
is at once easy and becoming. They Will
wear GUNS that are letters, and. though
thew pull them of the first moment they
are alone, conformity to popular usage
leads them to put them on in the presence
of others in spite of discomfort.
Women follow more changes of fashion
than men do and are willing to suffer even
more torture. for women are by nature
more formal and more fond OF convention
more irrational. although they are usually
credited with more unreasonableness IN
respect to fashion,
The laws OF fashion are often as mys-
FERROUS as they are imperative. Occasional
ly the origin OF a certain mode of dress
can be traced to some defect or caprice in
a queen or emperor-the people willingly
aiding in hiding weakness-or from love

to the sovereign they may adopt some
strange fancies. but even an emperor would
not control fashion by an edict. for he
knows that, like language, 1t has way
of Its own and no one can predict what
direction 1t will take
The popularity Of King Edward has tend
ed to bring about certain desirable reforms
in mems dress. The democratic charac-
ter of the man as prince and as king led
him to consult comfort and convenience
in the matter of dress. although he never
defied conventional forms. He Is by uni
versal consent admitted to be the best
dressed man in his dominions. So because
he follows as well as leads In fashion he
has been able to introduce changes that
have been decided improvement by way
of comfort.
Probably the time is remote. II It ever
shall come. when men and women will
dress as they please individually. Origi-
nality in dress is too daring. It invites too
much attention and criticism for any one
to Indulge In 1t to great extent Arbi-
trary as fashion Is and uncomfortable as
her dictates are, It u found to b far
