An English writer who recently Wis
tied the West Indies found business
and financial conditions so greatly i'm
proved over the state of affairs that
existed on a former visit thai he con-
hdently declares that the islands are
destined to again become as rich as
they were before the abolition of the
slave trade and the introduction of free
trade In sugar
Fruit and timber and tobacco, as
well as sugar and a hundred other
things, will bring back the wealth and
power which, truth to tell, has only
been lost to the Caribbean group by
the inertia Of the planters and the
want OF enterprise in the commercial
men. The islands have never lacked
natural wealth and an abundance of
raw material. Only the genius of
trade has been lacking Until very re-
Gently West Indians displayed no signs
of being able to help themselves. But
the influence of traders from more
prosperous countries, American as well
as British, has stirred the people out
Of their lethargy; and nowadays the

diers Of the king. They have parlia-
ment houses also, and politicians both
black and white. Yes, it is a wonder
full corner of the world, this group of
little isles so finely set in the golden
Caribbean. 1t may be that it is a
pity that places so beautiful should
have to be concerned with trade at all.
yet the packages of merchandise which
line the dock quays and fill the ware
houses of the white-built cities, and
the plantations Of wavy banana trees
and sugar cane, are not unlovely: and
it is always pleasant to hear the noises
Of labor and to witness the industry of
the husbandman.
Just as it was in the days of old,
when the wealth of the Indies fascin-
ated the whole of England and laid
the foundations of the fortunes of fam
lilies who have long ceased to remem-
Der the origin of their riches, so it
will be again in the near future. when
strong young men go out to the west
to find new homes and new work and
new wealth. The Jamaicas of to-mor-
row will be as rich as were the ia
maicas of yesterday, and we shall find
that the Caribbean islands are capable
Of doing more than supplying the
world with sugar and rum.
For the rest, the islands are good
20 look upon and worth seeing, even
though our thoughts are not on trade
or money. The fairy islands, all green
and yellow in the midst of a sea of
the richest blue, are fascinating to all
who love beauty for its own sake, or
who like to look at places which still
reminds one of times before cities were
filed with factories and before the

SOME AMERICAN CHURCHES OF NOTE.

The sick, the lame anG the afflicted
from all parts of the country have long
made pilgrimages to a plain little
church in the village of Carey, o., to
a healing shrine" where many people
claim to have been cured Of their in
firmities. This church, known as Our
Lady of Consolation Church, is one
OF several church in the Buckeye
State which have become famous
throughout the Nation. The late Pope
Leo recognized it as a pilgrimage
church, and better still he sent to it
an ante-pendium and altar outfit
The interesting history OF this
church dates back to the arrival in
this country OF band of people from
the European province of Luxem-
bourg-the province in which pestil-
ence wrought most dire distress in the
Sixteenth century. 1t will be recalled
that the few who survived this
scourge erected in Luxembourg a
church to the memory of the Holy yir-
gin. At the dedication of this church,
it is claimed, statue of the Holy
Virgin and her child was found upon
the altar whereupon its origin was
generally accepted as divine. Many

wANTED-A NEW CHICKEN.
Restaurant Man Looking for One That

Restaurant Man Looking for One That
Shall Be All White Meat.
Luther Burbank is doing great
things in the cultivation OF flowers"
said the contemplative restaurant
man. He is making purple flowers
grow red, and red flowers blue, do
ing all manner of wonderful things
with plants, and all fine and beauti-
full, but what the country really needs
is a chicken raiser VINO can make
chickens grow all white meat.
"As 1t stands to-day, in my business
we are always in a Quandary. 1t is
familiar fact that the wing part Of
chicken yields white, the leg part
dark meat We cut a roast chicken
white meat and two are dark, and that
is the best we can do.
"Wc can do things with some meats,
but you can't make the dark meat of
the leg and second joint of a chicken
white meat. And here comes the trou-
BILE.
Mine. out of ten of a restaurants
customers, when they order roast
chicken, call for white meat; and to
supply these demands with chickens
growing as they do is of course, sim
ply impossible. We would like to do
it, but we can't.
1--WE have to give some dark meat,
and that disturbs the people who get
it. They see white meat served to
other folks and they wonder why they
can't have it. We explain to them
about how chickens are made and
why we can't always serve everybody
with white meat, but that doesn't in
terest them much; they ordered white
meat, and that's what they want, and
really all that we can do is to trust
that they will get white meat the
next time they order.
LAS a matter of fact we serve white
meat as far as we can; but what we
want in our business is chicken that
Is all white meat; and the man that
can produce it would not only confer
a boundless benefit upon us, but for
himself he would become rich beyond
the dreams of avarice, wealthy be-
yond the veriest nightmare of greed.
That's what the country needs,
chicken raiser who can make chick
ems grow all white meat."-Kansas

INFLUENCE OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
An Opuient Citizen Tells How He
Came to Take Up the Livery
Business.

How'd 1 come to go into the livery
business? Why" said the genial and
opulent livery stable proprietor, as
he rolled the big black cigar to a
slightly different angle between his
teeth, ''it was kind o. funny.
'You see, I had a large family, all
girls, nice girls, all of them, and nat
urally they all had a good deal of
company, and used to go out a good
deal, and to good many places they
went to they had to have carriages;
and my carriage bill WIS something
frightful, for me.
Il was doing a fair sort of bust
ness, very fair in fact, but 1 couldn't
by any means afford to keep a car
riage myself, and every month that
carriage bill for my daughters used
to bite a frightful hole into my in
come. And finally that set me to
thinking.
I'm not the only man in the world,
| says to myself, with a bunch of fine
daughters. The world is full of fine
daughters, says to myself, belong
ing to fine families that want 'em to
make as good show as anybody and
all hiring carriages for 'em.
why shouldn't | make, myself, the
profit on the business that my daugh-
ters would bring to stable, a pretty
fair sort of a business in itself, or
at least a sure starter, and do bust
ness for other peoples daughters,
too?
That's all there was to it. I was
certain of some business and I was
willing to take chance on the rest.
"And everything went all right.
My daughters gave me all their pat
ronage, and they used more carriages
now than they ever had before-they
said they wanted to see their father
do well, and got my full share of
the patronage of other peoples
daughters, and the volume of it was
great
I'm the course of time my daugh.
ters all married and they all did
well; very comfortably, to say the
least Evey one of them now keeps
a carriage of her own, and keeps it in
my stable; and so the girls, nice
girls, every one, that once cost me
so much, though I never begrudged
'em a cent of it, now send me money,
every one.
Their business alone is something
tidy, but they are really only few
Of many profitable customers, and
have never regretted taking up the
livery business.
But it was sort of funny, now, how
I came to go into it, wasn't it?"-

Views and Notions.

President Hadley, of Yale, and a
yourg man whose appearance was
that of a student once met, says the
Searchlight, in Yellowstone Park, in
the midst Of the wonders of nature.
President Hadley turned to the
young man for sympathetic comment.
"This Is a wonderful scene, isn't
it?' he said.
The young man smiled and nodded,
and turned without speaking to gaze
at the prospect spread before them.

great upheaval of nature, or is 1t the

Told in Pantomine.

Theodore Thomas, in conducting an
orchestra, seemed impressive, imper-
turbable. A writer in the Outlook,
commenting upon this, says that he
was apparently without passion or
feeling. Yet the appearance was not
reality, and at one of Mr.. Thomas
rehearsals it was fully contradicted.
At a certain point in the symphony
the orchestra was playing in perfect
time and tune, but with a certain
mechanical effect which no enc had
noticed until Mr.. Thomas suddenly
raped the music-stand before him
The orchestra stopped. Then with
his hand he initiated the action of al
organ-grinder.
With only word to indicate the
bar at which the orchestra was to
take up the music, he struck the rack
before him for attention, and with a
movement of his baton gave the
signal.
The orchestra repeated the passage
he had criticized by dumb shew, and
this time they played with spirit and
fire.

and prospered. The first church of the
new settlement was erected in 1903,
the second and third church in 1920
and 1852, respectively, and the new
memorial church in 1908. The pastor
of this church today is the Rev. w. H.
Heckewelder
st. Matthews church in Madison
township, Muskingum county, Ohio, is
of some national interest because of
its size, especially if it is the smallest
Protestant Episcopal church building
in the United States, as it is believed
to be. This church is but 4Sx24 feet
in dimensions, the nave is 30X24 feet
and the chancel is 1Sx16 feet The
style of the church is also unique, ii
being claimed that there is none
like 1t in the United States, unless pos
sibly it be one in Virginia. The walls
are OF rubble work, built from glacial
granite boulders brought from the
farms in the surrounding territory, and
the buttresses are capped with dressed
blocks of red sandstone quarried in the
locality. The windows are of stained
glass. The timbers used in the con-
struction were of giant proportions and
the entire structure is built to stand
the test Of ages-a memorial to the lit
tie congregation of some % earnest
farmers who worship there. The en-
tire cost of the church was $1,000.
Another rural church building of ma
tional reputation in the Buckeye State
is the temple at Kirkland. Ohio, the
first Mormon temple in the United
States, and to-day used by the Reor-
ganized Church Of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter-day Saints. 1t was in 1881 that
the early Mormons came to this spot
from Manchester, n. Y.

BURGLARS in Paris catacombs.

Part of the catacombs Of Paris be
vond the Luxembourg have also been
invaded by burglars, who were on the

The thieves, four in number, did not
venture far into the subterranean
place of the dead, as they were evil
IDENTIFY afraid of the labyrinths of the
catacombs. They attacked the first
pile of bones which they saw, after
having effected an entrance, and car
ried away several skulls. The four
catacomb burglars were arrested and
tried. They stated in the police
court that they wanted the skulls to
decorate the rooms of their lodgings
In reality they proposed to sell them
to medical students. The four were
condemned to fines of Psf each, and
to terms of imprisonment-London

looks abroad for fortune thinks only
of AfrlcS Australasia, Canada or
America; ard usually 1t is in one or
settle; though 1t is doubtful whether
the Islands do not offer him chances Of
prizes greater than any to be found in
the other colonies. 1t can be said Of no
country In the world that 1t Is more
beautiful than Jamaica; it can be said
of few, If any, that they are richer.
True, there is no gold, no great min
eral wealth; but there are the soil and
climate, the rich forests and richer
valleys. There are the sugar planta-
tons, the fruit gardens, the tobacco
fields and the cattle pens. There are
the cities also which, even to-day, are
not too well stocked with merchants.
Alert men make money quickly in
these islands; not so quickly as those
lucky Adventures who find potato
sized diamonds and rich gold 'pock-
cts" perhaps, but quickly enough; and
hunger is a thing almost unknown
even TO the poorest West Indian ne
gro. The fields and the hedges pro-
vide rich fruits-the banana, the or
ange and the mango, and In the towns,
fruit enough to last a man whole
day can be purchased for a copper coin.
In Jamaica the life of the white man
Is almost ideal If he is a planter. he
lives in a substantial house, built in
the center of lovely garden which is
always aflame with the most brilliant
flowers in the world. He has saddle
horse and buggy, and he will find a
club in the nearest town (Which can
not be many miles distantO and all
the English sports at hand. Though
be may not be rich man. though he
may never make money enough out
OF his plantation to return to the old
country or purchase a landed estate,
he will never want for comforts or
ordinary luXurIes.

to be true. that in these islands man
with capital of FIVE thousand dollars
can. when he has gained a thorough
knowledge of practical planting. make
an income of from $500 to $1,000 8
year.
Indeed. Jamaica is a happy little
place. The sun is always there, and
the thousand rivers which dance along
the mountain slopes and flow swiftly
through the valleys toward the sea
always suggest pleasant music and
healthfulness. The negro workers are
merry people; they laugh at theil
work and on their way TO work; they
laugh when they go home to bed and
when they rise in the morning. The
men laugh and the women laugh, and
the children are as merry as birds in
summer time. 1t is almost impossible
to be unhappy in the place.
