only joking, but when he failed to reappear
they became alarmed and some Of the more
venturesome entered the water, and after a
short time succeeded in recovering the
body.

Cocoa inportations into the United
States are now averaging more than
100000 a month. against an average OF
s25oo0o per month a decade ago. Mean
time importations Of both coffee and tea
show a decline. especially during the last
two years
Whether the taste Of the people Of the
United States IN the use Of this class Of
the requirements Of the table is actually
changing can perhaps scarcely. be deter
mined by the record OF q single year or
brief term OF years: but II is at least an
interesting fact that the value Of cocoa
imported into-t the United States has more
than quadrupled in the last decade. while
that Of coffee has actually decreased dur
ing that time. and that Of tea increased
but about 10 per cent In quantity, how
ever. the change has been less strongly
marked
The figures Of the Bureau OF Statistics
show that the quantity of cocoa imported
in the eight months ending with Febru-
ary is about three times as much as that
Of the corresponding months CT 1888,
decade ago; that the quantity Of coffee
imported in eight months OF 1875 is more
than one-third greater than that Of the
corresponding months Of 1S9S. and that
the quantity Of tea imported in the eight
months Of I90S IS about II per cent less
than the corresponding mcnths OF 1SsS-

Bombay and Ahmedabah co-operated ef-
