HOLLAND BULB TRADE IMMENSE.
Over 10000 Acres Devoted to Raising
Tulips and Hyacinths.

An industry characteristic OF the
Netherlands is the raising of tulip
and hyacnth bulbs. Attempts have
been made in several parts of the
world to grow these, but nowhere can
the experiment be said to have been
successful, as the proper kind of soil
for propagation of perfect bulbs seems
only to exist in the small space of ter
ritory between tie cities of Leyden
and Harlem.
This stretch of country is in reality
the bottom of the old Haariem sea,
which was laid dry about the year
1852. and this sea-bottom dirt, COM
bination Of sand and decomposed vege-
tables and plants, appears to be the
only soil capable of producing the
flower bulbs mentioned.
These bulbs are exported to all parts
of the world; the demand is constantly
increasing, and an increased area is
from year to year set apart TO the cui-
tivation of bulbs. The statistics for
1906, the latest available, give this
area as 4,05S hectares, equal to 1O,O2I
acres.

USE LEAF AS A srlMuLHNr.
How Coca Is CuItivated-Prevent
Of Sleep and Fatigue.

Coca is the South American invig-
GRANT. The shrub from which the coca
leaves are obtained grows under ia
vorable conditions to a height of about
four meters. 1t Is cultivated in Peru
and Bolivia.
At the time the crop is gathered
the seeds are sown in beds. when they
terminate and grow, and in two
months the growing plants reach a
height OF about a foot. The leaves,
grown in the proper sunlight and
shade, are yellowish, small and thick.
This is the kind of leaf that is pre-
ferred for chewing by persons using
the leaf as a stimulant, fortifier and
preventive of sleep and fatigue in the
performance of arduous work, mas
much as they prevent rheumatism,
from which miners suffer when work
ing in mines that contain much water.
Indians who masticate the leaves of
this plant can work "a hours without
eating or sleeping.
Coca leaves are used by the natives
when engaged in long and fatiguing
Journeys and by soldiers when subject
TO hardships and privations. They
may be used with all kinds of food and
are said to cure dyspepsia, either
taken as an infusion in the shape of
tea or by masticating the leaves. The
life of the plant when perfect is so
years.

MADE THE p.ss-.a.ns SMILE
Absent-Minded Man Clinss to Strap,
Though Seats Were Vacant.

A lean passenger with newspaper
climbed aboard car, looking as pre-
occupied as a man who is trying to
think where he put the receipt for that
bill that the mans dunning him for
over again.
He hitched himself up to strap,
put his paper in front of his face and
started to peruse the news of busy
aud vexatious world without saying
"nothin' to nobody" He did not even
look around.
BY and by he had skinned through
the tidings chronicled in the paper and
he showed the sheet into his overcoat
pocket.
Then he made discovery. The dis
covery was as follows, viz: There
were only eight other passengers on
the car. OF course there were plenty Of
seats and had been ever since he got
on. He looked sort of foolish when he
noticed that everybody was smiling
quietly about something. You see 1t
looked funny to see man YEARLY
holding on to strap when there were
seats to be had at the same price as
S. r. o. space.
Shows what habit'll do for a fell
low" the lean preoccupied passenger
muttered. I'm used to getting on the
car here along about six o'clock at
night and / never look for Seats

Jessie COe Victim of Cousins
BETRAYAL.

Jesse Coe, the negro desperate,
was killed by Sheriff j. E. Bryant,
of Monroe county, within few
hundred yards of his mothers
home, near Glasgow, Ky.
A later report of the killing has
developed the fact that Coe was
betrayed into the hands of the of
ficers by his cousin, Claude An
drews, in whom he trusted. An
agreement had been made with the
officers by Andrews to decoy Jesse
Coe away from home the first fa-
vorable opportunity and that by
doing so he would get a part of the
reward.
1t was learned that most all the
male members in the Coe settle
ment were to be away from home.
The officers rode to within few
hundred yards of the house and
hitched their horses. They had
hardly reached the spot when they
came upon Andrews and his vic
tim, whom he had begged to
90 squirrel hunting with him.
After killing Coe the officers put
the body across their shoulder and
run several hundred yards to their
horses. They then put the body
on two horses and rode five miles.
Detective Tom Pedigo, of Louis
vile, said that Andrews made the
same deal with him as he also did
with United States Marshal Jeff
Cundiff to deliver Coe into their
hands, but after all arrangements
had been made Andrews failed to
carry out his contract, giving as
his excuse that his heart had failed
him and that Jesse COe had saved
his life more than one time.

TAXPAYER FEELS HIS DIGNITY,
Effect Of Ownership Of Property Is to
Make Better Citizen.

MANY time" said policeman in
the southern part of the city, when
srresting men, especially intoxicated
men. / have been told by my prisoner
that he was a taxpayer and that he
helped pay my wages.
Il always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely drunken insolence, and
never paid much attention to 1t until
about a year ago. when | bought q
house and lot and became myself a
taxpayer. | had always rented be-
fore and never gave a thought TO
taxes. but as soon as / moved into my
own house l began TO appreciate the
feelings of the men who resented ar
rest because they paid taxes. There
is certainly a considerable addition &c
the dignity of the man who helps sup
port the government. He feels de
gree of responsibility that renter or
roomer never understands, and my
idea is that every man in the country
ought to become a taxpayer as soon
as he can, and the mere fact that he
does help to support the government
and bears his share of the expense,
makes him a better citizen. Habitu-
al criminals, excepting, of course, high
financiers, are rarely taxpayers. They
know they may have to run any day
and perhaps never come back, so
they do not buy real estate, but are
roomers and dodgers all their lives

ACTOR WAS BOWED WITH GRIEF.

Death of His Wife.

A certain well-known actor was
curiously enough-very much attached

a friend went 10 the actors dressing
room and found him in tears. He was
making up, and having a hard time

brokenly. This is weakness, of
course but I was just thinking of my

HEAVY EXPENSE
By Candidates In a County Dem.
OCratiC Primary.

San Antonio, Texas, August
Especially Publicity of campaign
expenses enforced by state law in
Texas develops the fact that the
candidates for Office in BeXar
county in the recent Democratic
primary spent S20,723. This
money was expended for various
purposes from assessments for
getting names on the ballots to
drinks and cigars. The bulk of it
however went for newspaper adj
vertising, for the recent primary
instead of being conducted on the
time honored stump was waged
almost entirely in the newspapers.
The contest was a very bitter one
and was filled with personalities,
indeed speeches were resorted to
only when the newspapers refused
the advertisement as dangerously
near libel.

Women inclined

Women, owing to their peculiar func-

many of their other ills are due to this
congestion in the bowels which fills the
blood with impure matter that permeates
the entire system. In most cases foul
breath, bad complexion, sick headache
and such like ills are primarily caused
by constipation or indigestion.

Converted by Medicine.

A woman missionary, who was also
a doctor, had a curious experience in
Burmah, where, upon her arrival, she
found a village community dying off
like flies with cholera.
She made a house-to-house inspec-
ton, administered a specific, and, hav-
ing broken the back Of the malady,
left behind her several bottles of the
medicine to be used during her alb
sence. Upon her return the head man
cheered her heart by the greeting:
Teacher, we have come over TO
your side; the medicine did us so much
good that we have accepted your God"
He led her to his house and into the
apartment sacred to his worship.
There, arrayed upon the shelf, were
the medicine bottles and he, with all
his household, instantly bowed down
and prayed to them with thankful and
contrite hearts.

Sad, But True.

A precocious son of five years
looked very philosophically at his
mother one day and remarked: Isn't
it wonderful how ones skin is put on?
Is it sewed together or pasted with
glue?"

logical explanations she replied: NO,
dear, it is all in one piece"
Still a quizzical expression DER

ers forehead, he raised his finger and
exclaimed: well, mother, | really

After the humor of the remark had
passed it awakened a note of pathos,
for that mother, with the aid of the
mirror, discovered that the hitherto
unobserved seam was there, her first
wrinkle.

FUN IS A VITAL NECESSITY.
Can by No Means Be Regarded as an
Incidental of Life.

Most people have the impression
that fun and humor are life inciden-
tails. not necessities; that they are
luxuries and have no great bearing
upon ones career.
Many think of fun as frivolous, in
dicating lack of serious purpose in
life. There are parents who rebuke
their children because they want to
have fun and go in for good time.
These parents have yet to learn the
great part which fun and humor play
in the physical economy, and their
influence on the life.

whole physical and mental being

Human Flreflies.

Purveyors of Chinese incense sticks
may rejoice in the fad which has de-
veloped over on Riverside drive, says
the New York Press. 1t is the fashion
for the young people who throng
along the park wall and saunter up
and down from the Schwab mansion
to Grants tomb to carry handful of
burning joss sticks. These they wave
gently back and forth, the glowing
red tips rivaing the fairy lamps of the
fireflies, which sparkle among the
trees. Groups of merry girls thus IL
lumine the night and the soft sum-
mer air is perfumed with this rich
oriental odor. The fad started, of
course, out of a crusade against the
mosquitoes, which at times frequent
the park. But now the mosquito Is
not considered. The girls carry the
Joss sticks because the sparkling ia
pers add to the picturesqueness of the
scene and because it has become a
fad.

yet moved his residence only once.
That seems a puzzle, but it is quite

himself in Harnett. Afterward he

the county of Lee was formed a few
months ago he found that he was re-

MINERS LOSE LIVES.
Flames In Hosting Shaft Cut Off
the Air.

More than thirty miners We're
suffocated Wednesday morning in
Haley coal mine at HaiIeyville,
east of McAlester, Ok, when fire
destroyed the hosting shaft and
air shaft and cut off air from the
men below.
Twenty-Five dead bodies were re-
moved from the mine. 1t is be-
lieved that six or eight more will
be brought out. Twenty-Five
mules were suffocated and some of
their bodies were burned.
Explorations in the channels re-
vealed that none of the men met
death by burning, but that all of
them were suffocated.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, w. f.
Parker, mine oiler, accidentally
applied a torch to barrel of oil
and almost instantly an explosion
followed which threw flames in
every direction, and in a few sec
onds the mine was a seething fur
mace.
The property loss cannot be es-
timated at present but may reach
$4,000. The mine is one of the
most valuable in the Southwest.
