Something In Addition,

a German grocer, newly arrived In
New Orleans, opened up a downtown
establishment. lie got along fairly
well for awhile. but soon all his Gus
toners ccascd coming.
Meeting one of them on the street one
day he inquired the cause:
because you don't give %lagniappe,"
was the curt reply.
but what is dot lagniappe?" he per
sisted.
"Oh, simply n custom here. When
ono buys anything ut a grocery store
the clerk or proprietor usually gives
lagniappc-that is, n little something in
addition"
"Och, dot is 1t, chT' replied the grocer
reilcctively and went his way.
The next customer who came in was
served by him In person.
After the package was tied and hand
ed over the counter the grocer said
suddenly:
"What Is der sum Of sixteen hundert
unit ~forty-seven unit eighteen hundert
unit miner"
"Why, whatever do you meanY cried
the astonished purchaser.
"Why, dots your lagniappe-a leetle
something in addition, aindt idY"
The grocer shop closed the following
week.-New Orleans Times-D Democrat.

Library Book Thieves.

"No public library Is safe from book
thieves. In the big libraries they have
spoilers to watch men who ask for
rare editions, but In the small libraries
we must depend ON the girls employed
who happen to detect q thief by
chance. If possible we catch the book
thief before he reaches the door and
ask him If he has not forgotten to have
the volume checked Off at the registry
desk. If he is IN Old hand he says:
81 have forgotten my card, but /
will bring 1t around tomorrow
'IIe hands back the book and disap-
pears to reappear in that particular Ii
brary no more for many months. The
majority OF book thieves do not steal
novels. They go after works Of refer
encc, almanacs, year books and such
things, that most Of them probably
need In their business, but cannot af-
ford to buy. That Is why such vol
umes are nailed down In many libra
ries. l have actually known q woman
to get away with a city directory I'M

Natives Of the San BIAS Coast.
The natives Of the San Bias coast,
part Of the western coast Of South
America, have many peculiar customs.
The Indian boy after his marriage be-
comes the slave Of his father-in-law
and must submit in all things to his
will until emancipated by his own
daughters marriage, when he sets
up his own home and becomes thence
forth master of his son-in-law. The
men are very Jealous Of their women,
and In case of war or other grave
danger their first step Is to kill their
wives and children. They believe
dreams and insanity to be the work Of
evil spirits, and the dreamer upon tell
ing his dream Is killed. The insane
are burned alive. They allow no for
eigner to sleep in n of their villages.

Plant n Tree.

When eating a good pear or apple
save the seeds and plant them either in
a flower pot, where they will germi-
nate before long, or else directly in the
garden, when they will come up next
spring. To prevent their loss the place
must be covered as a mark. 1t takes
a number of years before they bear
fruit, but to see the progress of growth
from year to year Is always interest
ing. People often think 1t Is not worth
while for them to plant trees. They
will not live to have fruit of them and
80 neglect 1t entirely. But some n
Will enjoy the harvest. 1t Is just the
individual egotism which cause so
much unhappiness and affects all
classes Of society in many ways

 Immfgranfs.

Birmingham. Aug. 24.-(SpeciaL)- The full committee or executive board of the Alabama State Immigration So- ciety has been announced, twenty-five men from various parts of the State being on the committee, as follows: F' M. Jackson. Birmingham. Chairman; F. Y. Anderson, Birmingham: Frank Nel- son. Birmingham; c. L. Stickney, Bir- mingham; F. H. Lathrop. Riverside; R A. Mitchell. Alabama City; W. T. Brown, Ragland; A. A.

This committee will meet from time to time to discuss the plans of the Society and will also en- deavor to secure options on as much land as possible throughout the State.
 An official address has been issued by the Society. After setting forth the objects of the Society. which 1t Is de-
 
 poses and that desirable immigrants will be sought and an agent employed in this direction to be placed at Chi icago and New York and that no charge will be made for the services rendered beyond the cost of the same. The So- ciety Is not a money-making institu- tion. Ii was not organized and will not be conducted in the interest of any particular section or industry. It is not now opposed nor will 1t assume q position of hostility or pealousy tow ards any other immigration society al ready organized or which may hereaf- ter be organzed. It was not organic ed because those societies and organi- zations already In existence were not covering the field or because any branch of our State government was not do- ing valuable work in it's line. but It's purpose was and is to cooperate and work in harmony with all other men or societies having for their object. the supplying of our State with worthy in1- mgrants, each one of whom shall come within the restrictions of the law as to character, health, pecuniary conditions, etc.
 The address further states that immi- grants will be sought mostly from America and from Northern Europe, not that there are not good citizens to be found In Southern Europe. but be- cause the people from Northern Europe are quicker to assimilate our institu- tions and are more adaptable to our customs.
 Colonization of immigrants is also proposed.
