late: the vessel was caught aback by
the lee, which is a dangerous thing to
happen in rough weather. and it is a
wonder she did not capsize. Over she

sea came foaming up over her lee
rail. while the main topgallant mast
carried away and came crashing down
with all its rattle of tangled sails and
gear.
Now. indeed. the z was in evil

his sullen crew. for he ran forward
shouting for all hands to turn out and
save the ship. Hostilities being over
for the time. all hands came on deck
to work for their own safety.
We had a terrible job; vet I must
admit that the skipper and mate
worked harder than anyone and, like

BACHELORS AND BABIES.

If a fad started in Chicago spreads
to other sections of the country. il
will be safe TO predict that the per
centage of happy homes in the United
States will he very largely increased
within the next few years. With the
inspiration of genius. a woman orator
in the windy city suggested not long
e that it was the duty of all bach
elors to adopt n or more homeless
children. The lecturer pointed out
that bachelors. under the present
system, contributed little to c~iviliza-
ton. or. AZ least. contributed little to
elevating mankind. Viewed solely
from the standpoint of cono,ny il
was held that bachelors were a
nuisance and a drug on the market.
a number Of bachelors, responding
to the agitation. agree to take home
less boys into their homes. Gordon
Strong, a millionaire real estate man,
adopted two little waits. one 2 years
old and the other 6, and established
them in his handsome home. After Il
week Of trial step-fatherhood. Strong
gave his verdict to all the other bach
elors of Chicago. saying:
mo bachelor or widower should be
too much alone. The fun I have had
out Of those two kids today has repaid
me for any expense l may ever have
to bear. Every bachelor who has a
good income should devote part Of it
TO acquiring this form Of happiness.
He should adopt at least two home
less children. A half dozen wouldn't
mar his peace Of mind any. intend
to adopt ten more children at the rate
OF two a year"
The Chicago plan may result not
only in increased happiness to many
bachelors. and to many homeless
waits. but may also bring about the
solution of q great economic problem.
Orphan asylums do great work, but
they r expensive institutions. and
can only give the inmates attention
en- masse. Boys and girls who are
forced to spend their youth in such an
environment are unfortunate at best.
II bachelors are bachelors because
they wish to avoid the obligations of
marriage. they cannot be expected to
take ove the obligations with none of

writes:
Banda is a beautiful little village
situated on the equator. in longitude
$50 east, on a small island in the
Banda Island group.
The village is several hundred years
old. being founded by the Portuguese
and subsequently taken by the Span

The village has landmarks of past

1t is here where nutmegs were first
discovered. and which made the Ban
da Islands famous the world over
and great struggles for their posses
sion continued for hundreds Of years,
as the nutmeg industry was at one
time one of great profit. The prod
uct. however. has of late ear ex-
ceeded consumption which has caus-
ed serious declines in the price OF
nutlnegs.
l am greatly indebted to P. NJ.
Kok. agent Of the German Lloyd
Steamship company for information
about the nutmeg industry. He owns
a large plantation opposite the bay to
which we were taken in his splendid
gasoline launch. We were conducted
up the mountain side a distance OF
about 1000 feet. 1t was a beautiful
sight to look down over the planta-
ton into the bay below.

we could see.
From the summit of the mountain
to the bay his grand nutmeg orchard,
laden with fruit in the bud to the ma
tured nutmeg lay. Here and there in
small openings stands a large rugged
canary tree with its gigantic root,
mostly exposed running twenty-five
to fifty feet from the great trunk.
These majestic trees are we'll cared
for as they serve as protectors Of the
more timid nutmeg trees.
Having finished Jul inspection Of
this magnificent plantation we were
invited by MI. Kok to lunch. Hi.
young and pretty daughters looked
after the refreshments which consist.
ed Of tea. cake me liquids Of various
kinds. The treat was highly appre.
ciated as fatigue was apparent among
the mountain climbers.
The repast having been finished
and as h evening drew near we en-.
barked and the launch crossed the
bay to MANILA" our ship. where q
special dinner a awaiting us ar.
ranged by our genial captain.
After dinner U party was taken
to Mr.. Kok's palatial residence where
a musical program was beautifulls
rendered by Misses Josine and Paula
Kok. assisted by Captain Minssner OF
our ship.
During intermissions high grade
champagne was served.
Mr.. kok informed us that there
are thirty-three nutmeg plantations
on the Banda islands and that the
nutmeg industry IL confined to these
| islands. ~
