The Cocoa Tree.

The cultivation of cocoa is at pres
ent an inviting agricultural pursuit in
Trinidad and parts of Venezuela. The
cocoa tree cannot Withstand strong
sunshine, and the young plants have
TO be shaded by banana or plaintain
trees, and later when they attain their
growth, by tall trees known as I'M

These make q kind Of canopy over the
entire plantation. The fruit OF the
cocoa tree is a ped resembling a Gu
cumber, and growing on the trunk or
large branches, where it looks as
though 1t were artifcially attached.
The seeds are like large, thick lima
beans embedded in pulp. These form
the cocoa beans Of commerce. The

REAL MEANING OF MYSTIC"
One Of the Most Frequently Mlsused
of Words--Its Probable origin
Explained.

A teweler in a small handicrait
shop held out heavy silver ring with
queerly engraved seal, saying: II
can't explain the device to you. 1t is
made for sea captain. He's friend
of mine, and the emblem is just mys-
tic to him" The very fact that a
word becomes SO warped and common
means, at least, that a great many
people are becoming aware of new
matter. Something has swum into
their ken, and the word that stands
for the experience is banded wildly
about the world. When one pauses to
reflect upon the meaning of the word
mystic" 1t is odd TO note the base
uses TO which it has come. All the
minor poets write of mystic CLEANS
and mystic glamours,' mystic
sheens" and mystic clamors;" It's
use in the sense Of magic is very
widespread. But there are also small
railroad stations in out-of-the-way
spots that rejoice in the new word as
a designation. AS matter Of historic
fact, the noisy, ubiquitous word de-
rives from a Greek word which means
shut. A mystic was one who was be-
ing initiated into certain esoteric re-
ligious doctrines about which he must
keep his mouth shut. Some conjec-
ture that the word referred rather to
the keeping Of the eyes shut TO all
sense impressions in order that the
spiritual vision might be seen. Or it
might have referred TO the fact that
until a man was admitted TO the mys-
ieries, his eyes were shut to spiritual
truth. But in all probability the first
explanation Is the true one, and the
word simply refers TO the fact that
the profoundest experiences cannot be
impaired. They dwell in the great
realm of silence, and are truest when
they are stillest.-Harper's Weekly.

n OIFFURES Which show the turpan

the most popular. Hat brims grow

hair TO flll in the wide fiaring brims.
The turban coiffure with the addition
of puffs or curls i'm a little chignon at
the back solves the problem of a
graceful balance between hat and colt

The little fringe OF wavy hair or
loose curls about the face, barbed by
full braid wrapped about the head,
make up the quaint style which is
ideal for the possessor of pretty
face or well shaped head. 1t is, in
fact. almost always becoming. 1t is
only when one aspires to picture hats
or long turbans that 1t falls short.
Sometimes the addition Of a cluster
OF curls is all that is needed.

coil at the crown of the head. This
coiffure is finished with five short
curls pinned in at the top OF the coil
and falling TO the sides and toward

invisible pins to place.
Girls make for themselves many
pretty hair ornaments OF velvet and
spangles or rhinestones. Little June
roses made Of ribbon and finished
with millinery rose foliage Is among
the smartest and most fascinating OF
these decorations. The fashion Of
wearing velvet band across the top
of the head finished with a little
rosette at each side which was in
vogue half century ago is with us
again. The modern girl wears her
rosette less prlmly set and wherever
she finds them, in her opinion, most
becoming.

Ink OF everyday life may be perhaps
described as of mixed animal, vegetable

ever, the Juice of plant can be used
directly for writing. This is the case
with the ink plant, which occurs in
South America and New Zealand
The juice of the plant is red. but it
becomes rapidly black on exposure

In Maine the law is recognized on

destructive agent and menace to

these journals, creates a system of

being fairly treated, he, too, becomes
part and parcel of the low system

other words, is used as club by the
officers to mulct the people.
Under the Maine system, by gener-
al consent, a practical license is fixed
for the sale of liquor, through the
blind tigers, which are nothing more
or less up there than unlawful sa-
looms. 1t is true that in some places
the amount of the fine, instead of a
license, varies according to the greed
of the prosecuting attorneys and the
judges; but as whole the fines
never exceed the total amount that
would be paid If the saloons were
run legally. There is method in this
system. The authorities recognize
the fact that it would never do to

to questions asked him by The Cap
ital Journal While he does snot
come out as fatty and unequivocal-
ly as the more progressive Republi-

he takes constantly more pro-
gresive stand. He VIII probably be
elected by a small majority in this
district, where the insurgent senti-
ment is not as strongly developed as
IL is in the second district. 1t may

this district but we would have liked
to have seen him take more pro-
nounced stand on the side of pro-
gressive Republicanism. He must
know that two voters out of three
