Cook Without Pans.

A missionary in an account Of life
in the South Pacific says: "The prob

is already proved. The natives of the
South Pacific cook their food in hole
IN the ground, wood fire being made
at the bottom and covered with stones
On these the food is placed. wrapped
in leaves, and the whole covered with
earth. The result is delicious. When
cooked the food is served on leaves.

me purpose, and to construct duplicates at the south would be like sending two men to blow one furrow or two boys to plant one grain.
 Let me tell you a true story and alto sether apt for my purposes herein. Many years ago there lived in old KentucIxv David l.. Graves. native and to the man ner Lorn. He was almost an exaggerated Feverl, of the Peak, fiery, impetuous honest obstinate, dogmatic and some ether things. He leased the Mammoth Cave property and in those days his tav- e,n was famous for it's table, and tour itsts Of every tongue and people nocked there from all quarters of the globe
 The railway station was five miles to the cast and the stage line was owned by Andy Mccoy, n Highland Scotchman about as volcanic and vehement A man as Graves himself. The year round the s.age line brought travellers to the cave and they were the guests of Graves tavern. Sometimes they numbered as many as 100 a day. all of whom paid toll to Graves for trip through the cave, anl all of whom slept under his roof, sat at his table, and drank at his bar.
 As Was inevitable, Graves and Mccoy fell crt. and 1t was a bitter feud, result ing in the stage coachman's planting a pistol ball in the cave managers leg. Before that rencounter, however, Graves, to Hague Mccoy, constructed an impas- .abe fence a quarter of mile from the tavern, and his purpose was to prevent the stage coach full of guests for his own Eotel from driving up to his door, The result was the tourists were necessi- ta,ed to walk a quarter of a mile before they could register as guests. Graves thought he was punishing Mccoy, when he was only iniuring himself.
 And that is the way with those chaps down south who clamor for duties on raw materials. They pretend to punish the IT aol,ts cturers. but they only make 1t the more difficult to establish manufac-
