duces the cocoanut,a fruit too well
known to everyone 10 need de-
scription.
Cacao is the fruit Of another
tree, which grows in tropical
America and in some parts of
Asia and Africa. 1t is from this
tree that we obtain chocolate.
Coca is the name given to a
shrub of South Africa, the leave S
of which are used by the natives to
allay hunger and deaden pain.
From these we get cocaine.
Having once tasted the thick de
licious chocolate grown, made aud
brewed in Central America you
cease to wonder at the early enthu-
siasts who named the plant "theo-
dromO" 1.-THE nectar of the gods
One reason why our chocolate is
inferior to that ours is adulterated
with pipe clay. Pipe clay is cheap
and heavy, weighing five times as
much as the cacao, aud Yankee
manufacturers are not above using
as much of it as they can without
being discovered.
The finest cacao bean in the
world comes from LnzOn, in the
Philippine Islands. These beans
grow in very odd fashion, in
large, pear shaped pods from ) to
10 inches in length. They are at.
tached to the trunk of the tree by
short stems. Ripeness is indicat-
ed by a delicious aroma of chocO-
late that pervades the orchard. The
pods are cut off with a keen edged
hooked knife, fastened on the end
of bamboo pole. They are thrown
into heaps and within twenty-four
hours are opened. Each fruit is
cut in half to remove the mass of
pulp and seed. The beans are
separated according to size, the
largest bringing the best price in
the chocolate markets of the
world.
Monkeys, rats and parrots are
the enemies of the cacao farmers.
All three of these animals cut open
the pods aud eat the beans, being
quite as fond of chocolate as boys
and girls.
