Arguing for a Deduction.

In Mrs. Lapham's family circle he
powers of reasoning were accounted
most remarkable and convincing. Out
side the family her ability to convince
was not so marked.
"See here,' she said, without releas
ing the ten-cent piece for which tn,
conductor of the trolley car had gon,
to her side, 1--WE only brought Will,
with me. He's eight, so I've got to pa,
his fare. I've left Myra, that's four
and Neddy, that's two, at home. Nov
you wouldn't have charged me fo
them, would your"
mo, madam" said the conductor
"Your fare, please"
well, they'd have taken one seat,
persisted Mrs. Lapham, still retaining
her hold on the ten-cent piece. "
couldn't have held 'em both. though
of bringing them, only twas. too far
Now, why can't you take off somethins
from Willie, under the circumstances? p

Law Made Him a Pauper.

A young man was telling his troub
les to some friends in restaurant.
Talk about bad luck" said he. "The
law certainly played mean trick on
me when was two years DID,"
The friends showed interest and the
young man continued:
When / was that age my father
and mother were divorced; went
with father and my sister went with
mother. Father and I have been hard
workers since was a mere child.
Mother married another man a few
years later, and with my sister they
went to the Klondike. Mothers new
husband struck it rich. They are said
to be worth over million" Then he
sighed:
If the law had but given me te
mother!"

CEYLON HAVING A BOOM.
Trade Outlook the Best Ever Known
in the History of the Island.

1T InS 0IStOFy OI tnS BSfdHos '
Ceylon as a whole is experiencing
a period of exceptional prosperity and
the trade outlook is the best ever
known in the history of the island.
Tea, cocoanuts, cacao, cardamoms and
citronella are paying WELL and rubber
and camphor are still more profitable.
There has been continued boom
in rubber planting, which now occu-
pies about lie, 900 acres, while tea has
had a revival and high prices are now
being realized. Camphor prices are
very high and the cultivation has ,ex-
tended so that there are now some
900 acres under this product.
A transportation question that has
been agitated in Ceylon for a long
while, and that is now being brought
actively to the front again, is that of
connecting Ceylon to India by rail-
road across Adams Bridge and the
shallow bodies of water lying between
Rameswarm and Tallaimannar, at the
northern end of the island.
The South Indian Railway company
is bringing its line to the extreme
point of the small island of Rames-
waram so that only small gap of
water will intervene between the ter.
mini of the Indian and Ceylon rail-
ways.
If the connection is made at all it
will make Colombo the port for South
ern India, and will greatly benefit the
tea and rubber industries by facilitat-
ing the transportation of laborers from
India.

Discovering Mexican Towns.

o.
The federal government, in view OF
the fact that there is not a single map
of the republic containing all the towns
and ranches of the different districts,
has decided on the creation of the So
ciedad Geografica Exploradora, whose
members are travelling throughout the
republic drawing up plans of the diff.
ferent districts visited by them.
Very curious occurrences are re
ported. 1t is said that members of the
commission when exploring woods
and valleys, have discovered towns OF
from 100 to 5000 inhabitants, the ex
istence Of which were unknown, these
people living completely isolated from
the rest Of the world.-Mexican Her.
