THE PIGEON LARK

Reginald was the recognized wit Of
the Office, and when the new office
boy arrived, it was expected, as a
matter of course, that he would do
something really funny. The boy
was exceptionally green, and Reggie
did not disappoint his admirers.
Here, boy" he called. Run over
to Nibs & Dibs and get cents worth
of pigeons milk, will you. Here's a
dollar; bring the change back to me,
and be quick about itr'
The boy set out, but did not return
for some time, and when he did get
back the chief partner was giving
some orders to Reginald. But the
boy knew nothing Of office etiquette,
so he stepped between Reggie and the
'tboss," and produced a live pigeon.
Here you are" he said. "Mr. Nibs
says you can jolly we'll milk the bird
yourself! And there amt no change!"

Master Percy Muggins reused the

possible that one small boy could pro-
duce so great volume of sound. In
fact, the uproar was such that Mrs.

ally forced to poke her head over
the fence and ask the cause Of it all

The report of the minister of agri.

In tons the worlds consumption of
cacao, the product of the chocolate
tree. In the United States the use of
cacao in confectionery is enormous,
leading that of every country in the
world as the figures for 1911 will show.
United States, $1,000 tons; Germany,
$4,000; England, 25,5OO; France, 2S,.

1890; Jamaica, $500; Haiti, $500, and
Cuba, 1900. The cultivation of cacao
theobromo is now being encouraged in
Cuba, and this is probably as far
north as its cultivation can be profit
ably undertaken.

Tobacco Supports KavaIIa.

A historian, writing less than fifty
years ago. speaks of Kavalla, the Ma
pies or Neapolis of Macedonia, as "a
small Turkish village" When l Wis
tied it in the early days of 1912, says
writer in the Christian Herald,
found it a thriving city, the second
seaport in Macedonia, beautifully stu
ated around the little bay that forms
its harbor, while on one side is a great
citadel crowned with a Turkish fort
ress.
The narrow streets are cleaner than
most Turkish cities can boast, and
there are really fine and imposing
buildings These are mostly tobacco
warehouses, or belong to tobacco mag
mates, for this weed must at least be
given the credit for The present pros
perity of this rising town, which is
the great tobacco port and manufac-
turing center Of Macedonia.
The chief ruins, which date back to
Paul's time, are the remains of a
huge Roman aqueduct. whose magni-
ficent arches until two years before
my visit had brought water TO the
modern city.
