backed up by the crew. Then the
Suez canal was passed through, and
the bugs continued to multiply. There
was council Of war, and it was de-
cided to ask for advice at Algiers. In
Algiers the commandante, or whatever
that officials title was, came aboard

in pairs and quartets, and visited the
offices on the piers.

Loading Freight by Cards.

Il don't know whether the practice
is still kept up in the far south, but l
remember how tickled l was at seeing
the method used in loading goods into
freight cars down in Mississippi some
while ago." said a railroad man of st.
Louis.
"a lot Of strapping black fellows will
be on the job under the supervision Of
white man, who will be issuing or
ders with great volubility. Put this
aboard the king of diamonds; take this
to the ace Of hearts; load this ON the
ten of spades; this to the jack of clubs,
and so on. and then you'll notice each
one of the long line of freight cars has
tackled on it some one of the fifty-two
cards composing full deck. The Sem
egambian loafers for the most part
were ignorant Of letters and figures,
but every man of them knew the paste
board emblems which he had often
handled in games of seven up. That

Ger. Mr.. Kelso, 1t was pinch all the
way over, and the ship came into this
port yesterday literally on a pinch as
well. The pinching bugs of Bombay
have a habit of biting hard, and for
almost 60 days the sailors on the
Strathairly kept up continuous fight
against the little pests.
Visitors to the Strathairly came of
the ship with one or more of the bugs
clinging to their clothes. If the visitor
did not watch out for them the bugs
would by easy stages reach the face
of their victim and then-the pinch
ing kiss.
Robert van Fossholler, a Transvaa.
sailor on board the ship, thought he
had remedy for the bug plague In a
LIQUID concoctiOn with which he liber-
ally sprinkled the fo'cs'le quarters. He
drove out the bugs and the other men
of the crew as we'll. Then Bazin, a
Frenchman, the ships chef, produced
bug powder that was warranted to
kill any bug alive. 1t blew great mon
soons the day after the powder had
been sprinkled over the ship, and as
a result every particle Of food not down
in the stores was made useless.

Some interesting particulars OF the
toy industry Of Germany have been
published by the British consul ut Ham,
burg. Toys constitute one OF the most
important branches Of German manu-
facture. In the year 1903 the total vol
ume of toys exported from all parts OF
the German Empire was 34,717 tons,
valued at $13,931,37O. Though there Is
hardly any country in the world to
which German toys are not exported,
the most important customer OF Ger
many is Great Britain, which In the
year under review received 1928 tons.
The second most important market for
German toys is this country, the ex-
ports to which amounted in 1903 to H.
O55 tons, valued at $4,O93, 135.
The most important centers for the
manufacture Of toys in Germany are
