Coffee In Jamaica.

You see all those bushes with red
berries strung among their branches?
That is coffee, and the taller trees
among which 1t is growing are pimen-
tos, from which the world gets Its all
spice. 1t looks like jungle, does 1t not?
Yet many thousands Of dollars would
not buy that one hill slope. Among the
lovely flowers humming birds sparkle
as they fly and hover; butterflies as
large as the birds dispute the honey
with them. AS you turn round the cor
ner you surprise parties of tiny ground
doves, and every now and again the
larger pea doves fit across the road.
Up from the valley below the sounds
Of voices and laughter. Stop your car
riage and look down. Those are the
works on coffee estate, and those fiat
terraces partitioned off into squares
are the "barbecues" upon which the ber-
res are dried. You can see that some of
the squares are different color to the
rest. The dark ones are those that are
covered with coffee; the others are
those which have not yet been filled

RESTING Their Muscles.

When n man Is tired he stretches
his arms and legs and yawns. Birds
and animals, SO far as possible, fol-
low his example. Birds spread their
feathers and also yawn, or cape.
Fowls often do this. Fish yawn. They
open their mouths slowly until they
are round, the bones Of the head seem
to loosen and the gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless
they have cold. Cats are always
stretching their bodies, legs and claws,
as every one knows who has had cat
for Il pet.
Horses stretch violently when and
after indulging in roll but not as a
rule on all fours, as stays do. A stag
when stretching sticks out his head,
stretches his fore feet out and hol-
lows his back and neck as though try
ing to creep under bar.
Most ruminant animals stretch when
they rise up after lying down. Deer
do It regularly; so do cattle. This fact
Is 80 we'll known that If COW when
arising from lying down does not
stretch herself 1t is sign she is Ill.
| The reason for this is plain-the
stretch moves every muscle Of the
body, and If there is an injury any
where 1t hurts.

Carneais's First lnuestment.

1t was due to Thomas 4. Scott that
Andrew Carnegie made his first invest,
ment, ten shares of stock in the Adams
Express company, valued at $500. This
he did with considerable trepidation.
He had labored hard for the money he
had saved up while he had worked as
telegrapher. 1t is part of railroad
history how he later fell in with the
inventor of the sleeping car, saw the
enormous advantages which that man
ner of travel held out to passengers
and promoters and how he interested
others in the invention of Mr. Wood
ruff. This occurred shortly after his
return from Washington, when the
problems of transportation were still
uppermost in his mind. He was now
on the road to success and wealth as
he then pictured earthly possessions.
The Pennsylvania oil fields yielded
large returns when Carnegie and 9TH
ers turned their energies in the direc-
tion of the newly discovered territory.
In one year land purchased for $40, 900
increased in value so that 1t paid div.
ldend of $1,000 0.-Exchange.

He sat at his desk ON which lay

looked up at Margaret, however. witt
a smile.
Here's the strangest mixup, Miss
Van Amburgh. | wonder II you can

to me as if that incorrigible Tommy
had been playing one Of his practical
jokes again. See here"
But Margaret would not look.
I'm to blame, not Tommy" she con-
fessed, and then somehow she got
through her explanation. 1t was n
Illuminating experience.
When she had finished and with pa
thetic humility begged Mason's for
giveness he looked at her with n ten
derness she knew she did not deserve,
but which perversely she felt was
worth the having blundered to win.
There's only one thing I'm sorry
about" he said kindly. you should
have directed these little scraps Of
sentiment to yourself, Margaret. They
were written with the thought Of you
in my heart. They are my first love
letters"
At this Margaret Unexpectedly burst
into tears. The strain Of confession
had unnerved her. Mason blessed her
for 1t. 1t gave him the opportunity
he longed for-of holding her In his
arms and Of comforting and loving
her.
"But what will you tell Miss
Greene" asked Margaret, dismay and
amusement taking turns in possession
Of her big brown eyes and adorable
mouth.
"Oh, I'll make 1t all right with Cous-
In Elizabeth" Mason assured her,
laughing "She's a dandy girl, but has
just had falling out with her fiance,
and I've been trying to help her patch
It up"
"Ohw said Margaret comprehend

son, lingering the scraps of paper on
his desk, 'I'm insufferably proud to

It."
Just here Tommy burst In upon the
lovers. He explained that he had
knocked several times, but got no an

the doorway, grinning.
