HIS USEFUL. STRONG HEAD.
Negro Proved Himself Just the Right
 Man in the Right Place.

Ever take notice how much strength negro has in his head?" said man who is always looking out for unusual things. Well, l had am pie opportunity to test certain negro's head carrying capacity while l was in charge of large printing es- tablishment in Texas. We had re- ceived large shipment of paper of extra heavy weight, and none of the men employed by the firm seemed able to handle the bundles. Of course We should have had freight elevator, but we had none Well, about the time I had given up hopes of getting the paper up to the third floor a negro came shutfiing down the street playing harmonica. He inquired if l wanted any one to do days work, and said he was hodcarrier, but was willing to do anything for a dlolar thought of the paper and the third floor proposition and engaged him. We'll, sir, he took to it like children to candy. Maybe he didn't shame the rest of the negroes around the plant. In less than no time he had the paper stored away, and the work didn't seem to affect him in the least. The result was he got a steady place and was dubbed the Heavyweight Niger. The fellow toted every ounce of it on his head"

"Sensible to the Last"

An old Scotch lady used to be at. tended by a doctor to whom she in variably gave a guinea when he went to see her. He had told the friends with whom she lived that her death would probably be sudden, and one day he was hurriedly sent for, as she appeared to have become unconscious. On his arrival he saw at once that the old lady was dead, and, taking hold of her right hand, which was closed. but not rigid, he calmly ex- tracted from it the fee which she had provided for him, and as he did so he murmured: Sensible to the last"

South American oiI.Rirds-

One of the animal curiosities of South America is the "oil.bird." or guacharo. It breeds in rocky caves on the mainland. and one of it's fav- orite haunts is the Island of Trinidad. It lays it's eggs in a nest of mud. and the young birds are prodigiously fat. The natives melt the fat down in clay pots and produce from it a kind of butter. The caves inhabited by the birds are usually accessible only from the sea. and the hunting of them is sometimes an exciting sport

NO SENTIMENT IN BUSINESS.
Some oId-Fashioned Ideas of Trading
 Have Passed On.

"Times have changed" said an old grocer on Kansas avenue, the West side. Buyers get their groceries, meats and merchandise where they believe they can get the most for their money. Of course, quality as well as quantity is considered. Twen- ty years ago 1t was different. Mer- chants often were patronized because they were of particular nationality or creed. Sometimes it was on ac- count of. their political belief. Then there were those who had the notion that store they had patronized sev- eral years gave the most for the money. I remember a man who had just moved into the neighborhood. came into my place of business sev- eral years ago. He asked me about my nationality. I told him. He walked out of the store and never re- turned. But it's different now. Re- ligion. nationality and politics are for gotten. Honest bargains and honest methods are sought And it is bet ter for the buyer and merchant Kansas City Star.

His Finqer imprints.

Of Count Julius Andrassy, whose monument was recently unveiled at Buda-Pesth, the Neue Presse gives the following incident; Count Andras- sy had habit of smoothing with his hand his richly oiled hair. One day an important document had passed the Austrian council of ministers, in the contents of which Count Andras- sy was interested. Shortly afterward the Austrian president of the minis try said to one of the ministers: Count Andrassy has read the latest document" How do, you know?"

ONE DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE.
Boston Business Man Wanted to Take
Time to Catch Up.

Several years ago, when the Univer.
sity of Chicago held it's deceanial
celebration, John D. Rockefeller was
its guest for several days. A bewild.
erlng succession of functions followed
n another in such quick succession
that each affair was from one to four
hours late.
At the great banquet on the closing
day, Mr.. Rockefeller, in his after.
dinner speech, told the following
story:
Il have felt for the past "A hours
k the Boston business mar who
lived in the suburbs and came in to
his office every day. One winter after.
noon he took the train for his home,
but a terrific snowstorm was raging,
and about half way to his suburb the
train was showed in. All night the
passengers were imprisoned, but early
in the morning they managed to reach
a nearby telegraph station, and the
Boston man sent the following dis.
patch to his Office:

which all men will appreciate. The

China's Tea Trade DECLINING.

Ch'na's Tea Trade Declining.
- Some interesting statistics have
been collected by Vice-Consul Arnold.
at foo-Chow, concerning the great
decline in China's tea trade. From
1878, when tea was first introduced
into England, until 1887 China held ex.
clusively the tea trade of the world.
Then India began to enter the tea
market. The Chinese trade reached
high tide in 1885, with a total export
SbS %30,OOO,OO0 pounds. In 1884 China
furnished about u per cent of the
worlds total, India and Ceylon IS per
cent and Japan and Formosa 10 per
cent. But in 1904, when the total con.
sumption had increased to GA, DOC, 900
pounds, China contributed only 30 per
Nont, India and Ceylon 60 per cent,
Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. The
decline in China is ascribed to care
less methods of cultivation and pre-
paration of the leaf.

Wonder of Plant Memory.

Plant memory is a problem for the
inquisitive botanist, says the Dundee
Advertiser. In 1901 a plant allied to
the squash and pumpkin was taken to
New York from the desert of Sonora.
IN Mexico, and since then it has been
kept--without watering-in a strange
climate 5000 miles from home. Dur.
ing the six weeks of rain In the des.
1T the plant grows it's leaves and
flowers and perfects it's seed. Then
1t dries up and leaves only a water
filled gourd, which a thick, hard shell
seals against animals and evaporation.
The transplanted specimen still re-
members the rainy season of six
weeks. 1t wakes, sends out rootlets,
stems and leaves, and then dries up
again until the following year.
