canes Of the Tropics.
The cocoanut means a great deal
to the West Indian negro, says
Country Life. A dark-skinned man
ran lightly up the tall stem, with
suspiciously prehensile feet, stopping
at the fruit cluster to select and pull
OF a great nut, which he tossed to
the ground. l examined it with Gu
riosity, for it was little enough like
the cocoanut of the stores in the
north. A smooth green covering,
hard, impervious to anything but a
heavy knife-no wonder the cocoa
palm spreads among these islands!
Boat-shaped, in sense; light enough
to float easily, the big seed is always
ready for sea voyage. Cast ashore
on a sandy beach, it quickly germin-
ates and holds fast in the salty soil,
soon growing to it's estate of beauty
and fruitfulness and able to defy the
hurricanes of the tropics.
Restful as were the isolated cocoa
palms, it was not until came upon
a real grove of them that I could
fully appreciate the tropical latitude.
A visit to "Crusoe beach," fringed by
the great palms, hanging full of heavy
nuts. with liberty to wander where
the sandy ground-it was winter.

fallen leaves of oak and beech, but
with great honds eight or ten feet

What Fatigue Really ls.

Tiredness is as natural a condition
Of life as is the ability to perform
work, writes Andrew Wilson in the
Illustrated London News. It is ma
ture's signal that rest and repose are
necessary in order to recuperate the
vital powers. Think for a moment Of
the supply of nourishment (Which
means the giving of energy or "the
power of doing work") to any part.
The healthy frame receives it's due
quota of food materials, and out Of
them builds up its substance and OBJ
tains it's working power. But the
supply Of energy is not constant.
Hence, after a certain exhaustion of
the store it originally possessed, the
human engine demands more coal and
water. Fatigue is tn, sign-manual
which authorizes tho fl ,sh supply.

Why They Were Tramps.

A University professor, wishing to
study the tramp question during a
summer tour through England, inter
viewed 1000 wandering beggars,
whom he questioned as to why they
did not support themselves by work.
Six hundred and fifty-three said they
were willing to work, but could not
obtain employment; AS gave vague,
unsatisfactory answers; 301 expressed
the opinion that no one ought to be
obliged to work, but if some fools did
SO they (the vagrants) considered
they were justified in living on them :

Control of Iron Ore.

The iron ore lease of four to five
hundred million tons of ore by Jas.
J. Hill to the United States Steel
corporation gives that company
control of the worlds iron ore pro
duction with an estimated total of
over sixteen hundred million tons
"in sight"
The American iron ore output is
about forty million tons. Conse-
quently the United States Steel
company has enough ore in sight
to satisfy the average national de-
mand for about forty years. The
annual output of the Minnesota
mines is about twenty million tons;
50 Mr.. Hills lease covers a volume
of ore equal to the aggregate Min
nesota output for about twenty
years.
Comparing the United States
Steel holdings with those of other
holdings and with the holdings of
this country outside of this corpor-
alton, we find: That this single COM
pany has two-thirds more iron ore
in sight than either Great Britain
or Sweden, materially more than
either France or Russia, nearly as
much as the German empire, three
times as much as Spain, and sixty.
five per cent more than all the 9TH
er holdings in the United States.
During the six years of it's organ
ization, closing with this year, the
United States Steel company will
have mined 85OOOOOO tons of iron
ore, or about fourteen million tons
a year. At this rate it's present iron
ore holdings would supply it's re-
quirements for over century. But
its lease with Mr.. Hill calls for a
materially greater production. It
is believed that it will not be many
years before the company will be
turning out annually 100000 tons
OF ore, 100000 tons of pig iron, and
a total iron and steel product val
ued at billion dollars. That is to
say, it's annual output will far ex-
ceed that of any European country
and be several times that of all it's
American competitors combined

How Birds Bull Nests.

Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together PELLETS of pre-
pared road mud. Most Of the material
is obtained from the drying puddles
on the high roads. If aot mixed with
anything else the ten iency of these
pellets would be to crumble when dry.
But the swallow tribe is supplied with
4 mucous secretion which enables it
to gum these particle together. The
swallows nests, from which the Chi
nese "bird's nest Noup" is made, are
constructed OF this mucous matter
only. An Indian swallow which builds
little boat-shaped nests against the
trunks Of lofty trees practically

The Child.

A child's face is the window Of his SOUL
That yet untrammeled by the worlds
control.
Like some still pool upon a summers
day,
Ruffles to every wind that blows that
way.
A child's face is yet wide open door,
That every year Life shuts little more
It stands wide thrown, and to and fro
pass free,
OF his fresh thoughts, the white robed
company
A childs face is harp that stringed
stands
Waiting the touch Of any passing hands
That chance to strike the clear, obedient
strings,
Giving the captive melodies their WINGS
A little pool that ruffles to the winds,
An open door where each one entry finds.
So is a childs face to his every whim.

"BefOre this country became 8,

"Before this country became so
wealthy and business was done with
such great precision, and with such
excellent basic principles as now,
we were overtaken at times with
panics. The conditions may arise
to produce other panics, but they
are not as likely to occur and the
most that can be said for the pros
pective ones, possibly, is that they
will be set-backs, that may last a
period of months, or a year, and
then business will again attain a
