 Trade of $2o,ooo,ooo
 During my stay l have had talk with Mr Hoffman Philip ,our consul general, as to the trade of Morocco He has rep resented our country here very efficiently for the past four years. and has done what he could to p4sh American trade. He has been hampered, however, by the ignorance of our exporters concerning the country and people and the disadvantage of the United States having no direct steamship connection with this part of the continent. We have several vessels week which call at Gibraltar, over the way but none of these stop at Tangicr. We are buying a large amount of goat skins of Morocco, but about the only thing which she is using directly from us Is coal oil Her people dress largely nj cottons, and their goods are made of our raw materials, which are shipped in the bale to England and there manufactured for this trade.
 During some years we pay as much as a half million dollars to Morocco. In 1905 we bought from her about four hum dred and fifty thousand dollars worth of goat skins. and We take some of her wool and fruits, which go via Eng land
 "The total trade of Morocco" says our consul general, now amounts to some- thing like twenty million dollars a year, and of this England gets more than half, France comes next and then Spain and Germany. The German trade Is still small. but it is rapidly gaining
 Corn Meal and Cocktails.
 I made a hunt through the bazaars here today for American goods, and amongst other places visited the largest fancy grocery store in Tangier. l told the Jek clerk to show me samples of all the American articles he had and he brought out coal oil corned beef corn meal and cocktails. The bottles of cock tails came from New York, the corn meal was in a. pasteboard package labeled Chi cago. and the coal oil in a square can from Philadelphia, while the corn beef was in a fiat tin box from a packing house in Kansas City. At another store 1 saw canned salmon from Seattle and

Wonders of New York by Night.


 By whatever route you reach or leave Manhattan Island in the evening the river lights are beautiful On the North river the spectacle varies according to the hour and the season, for the down. town lights in Manhattan are more nu- merous when the days are short and the tenants of the great office buildings have to light up to finish their days work. Across from the lower Jersey ferries late in the afternoon of win ter day glow and sparkle the great company of tall shafts grouped against the sky, each one pierced to the top with regular rows of shining windows A memorable sight they make, these shafts and huge blocks of gleaming holes, reaching far above their neigh bors that come between them and the river. There is much in that spectacle to recompense tired man for being commuter, and nowhere else on earth is there the like of it.
 And besides the tall shafts and the intervening lower lights, and the glow of the streets that run to the river and border 1t, there are all the river lights the ferryboats, with their long rows of bright windows, hurrying on their various courses; the sound steamers going out: other steamers coming in; all manner of lights more sober on all manner of shipping; the street glare and the ferry house and wharf lights ashore: and higher up, here and there. the obtrusive and commercial, but none the less radiant, advertising signs.
 The downtown office building lights go out early-most of them-but up the river some of the tall uptown hotels continue, all the evening and in spite of curtained windows, to be light houses.
 On the East river, besides the city lights and the river lights, are the high. curving bridges, very striking and beautiful, with their unobstructed out lines marked by the glow of the elec- tric bulbs.
 There is poetry in these river lights, bordered and framed by the dark shin- ing water and reflected in it.

it to the nearest bakery to be cooked.
 Often a baker will have his regular cus-
 toners and will send out his boys, little
 long gowned dark-faced urchins, to bring
 in the dough. They usually carry it up-
 on boards which rest upon their heads,
 and A few hours later take pback the
 hs ked article The baker gets ten per
 cents of the amount of dough sent and a
 loaf of that proportion Is always put in
 for his pay.
 These bake ovens look like caves.
 They are found. here and there along
 the main streets of the cities. One steps
 first into dark cellar-like room, where
 the proprietor, a white-gowned, turbaned
 Moor, sitting cross-legged, watches the
 count and bosses the laborer who has
 charge of the oven.
 This man is none too clean. He has long paddle upon which he puts the loves
 of dough and places them upon the oven
 floor This Is on about the level of the floor of the room, an dthe baker stands in a pit at the front of 1t. The ovens are long. They have fire of twigs in
 one side of them, so arranged that by means of draughts the smoke Is carried away. The loayes are usually of the size of tea plate and about two inches
 thick They taste good The baker
 sells the extra loaves, which he takes in
 trade and there are bread peddlers in every market. They are usually women, shrouded in white blankets, who hide
 their faces from the men as they sell, but nevertheless keep sharp watch with one eye through hole in their head shawls for their change.
 The Morocco of today offers but few opportunities for the sale of American machinery. As to farm implements, the people are too poor to buy anything that costs much. The country is divided up into an infinite number of small holdings, and all outside the officials and chiefs and merchants live from hand to mouth. The tax gatherers also attempt to collect one-tenth of all crops.
 Labor here Is backward as in the days of the middle ages. All over Morocco

ToothbIacks.

"As we have boOtblacks SO they've
got toothblacks in the Sunda islands,"
said a travelling man.
"What is q toothblack?'
Don't you know? A toothblack Is
an old woman with a pot Of black
paint, gold leaf book and a set of
vegetable brushes. From hut to hut
she passes, and for small fee-a yam,
bunch Of bananas, three cocoanuts-
she paints the Sunda islanders teeth
glistening black-all but the two
front teeth. These she gilds. And the
Sunda islander thereafter goes about
with self conscious smile revealing
a truly knock-me-down dental display,
black and gold symphony. 1t is a
common trick among the semicivilized
to color the teeth. In Macassar dark
brown is the popular hue, and in Japan
among the unenlightened classes the
teeth Of wives are always painted
black. In such countries the tooth
black is an institution. She goes from
house to house as full Of gossip as a
barber" - New Orleans Times-Demo-

How a Flea Jumps.

It is said that flea leaps 200 times
its height, and. while it usually does
land on it's feet, it often falls, especial
~ when it falls on perfectly smooth
surface where the claws can get only
a slight hold. A flea has six legs,
whose great length and bulk make
them 50 heavy that they must be a
great help in keeping their owner right
side up when it makes one of these
gigantic jumps, and when it lands up
side down or In some other way its
ability to kick is so great that not
more than one wriggle is needed to
set things right. A fea's wings are
mere scales and of no use; but. small
and worthless as they are.e they tell
the entomologist something about the
proper classification Of the insect. To
the flea itself they have no value.
