CROPS IN NORTHERN SYRIA
Cotton Product Runs to 40,000 Bales This Year-Pistachio Nuts Will
 Be Few,

The estimated cotton crop Of the province of Aleppo Syria, Is consid cred to be very large this year-40. 900 bales against only 10000 bales in 1912, of which 2,100 bales were ship ped to Constantinople, and 7,500 to Europe.
 The se9same seed output is estimat ed at LIDO tons of 2,000 pounds each. against one-third of that amount for 1912.
 The olive trees are overloaded, and with favorable weather an abundant crop is expected
 The pistachio nut crop is practical ly failure this year, the production of the entire province promising only about $50 tons. as compared with g. 100 tons in 1912. The prices for pis- tachios in Aleppo occasionally depend on the Persian crop, which is pre-. ferred because the kernel is darker green than that of the pistachio of Aleppo or Aintab. In 1912 local prices were about nine Aleppo market pias- ters per oke, or 11.07 cents per pound, put because of the short crop this year the price has advanced to IT piasters the oke, or 21.07 cents per pound (the local plaster at $0.O35 and the oke at 2.S pounds) and is still ris, ing. The greater portion of the ex. portation goes to Germany and Aus tria for confectionery purposes, but the United States takes an important quantity and increases the amount an- | nually.

Annals of the fiji kinos.

Tanoa, CacObau's father and great grandfather of the present Ratu, was one of the most villainous of all the kings who ruled in Bau. The history of his atrocities makes professional ogres like Nero and Catherine de Medici appear like martyred saints At bis death his son, Cacobau, whG succeeded him. strangled his fathers five wives, his own mother among them, in accordance with the custom of the land. Later in life, Cacobau embraced the new lotu-Christianit From the date of his conversion he committed no more outrages and dis carded all of his wives save one, whom he married with the church ceremony when both were baptized. His son Ratu Abel did not look very favorably upon the new religion, and mixed very little with foreigners, yet no charges of cannibalism or other cruelties were laid at his door. The present Ratu Kadavu Is a well-educated man, and with his cousin, Ratu Pope, attended the University of Sydney-Christia Herald.

WAS SERVED BY ROYALTY
English Prince, Now King, Not Above Doing an Obigins Thing for the
 Professor.

When Professor Vambery, the fa- cured recently, arrived at Sandring- ham on a visit he received a message that Queen Alexandra wanted to see him.,
 He decided to wash his hands first, so he went to his room and rang the bell to ask for hot water. No one came, though he rang the bell repeat edly.
 Then there came a knock at the door aid a youth entered. Do you want anything, professor" he asked.
 "Yes," replied the professor, "I have been ringing for some hot water
 Wait a moment and I'll get you some,' was the oblit'ng reply. The boy disappeared, returning in few minutes with large jug of bot water which he placed on the washstand. The professor thanked him and he withdrew
 After he had washed the professor descended to pay his respects to his royal hostess, but after few minutes conversation he was surprised to see his hot water" boy come up to the group.
 "Ah, professor" Queen Alexandra remarked, introducing the boy, this is my son!"
 After that the professor nicknamed the boy, who is now King George w.. The Royal Jug Bearer"

Community Co-Operation


hl.~ stopping at a small Texas town not long ago 1 overheard a remark. the significance of which impressed me very much. A prosperous-o looking, middle-aged man casually stated to a local merchant: "No I am not in the market this year for any farm imple- ments, as l am preparing to lease or sell my place and move to the city. My children are getting along, you know, and l feel that l should locate where educational facilities are better than here" To the ordinary person this incident would seem most com monplace; in fact, similar conditions no doubt, exist in many Southern small-town communities, but the cause for same should not be allowed to exist, and the remedy is to large extent in the hands of those people re- siding in and around the towns.
 1t stands to reason that the town whose merchants are prosperous will afford a good market for the products of its vicinity, and the town whose buying and selling activities will nat urally afford ample educational faci- lities, thereby not only holding its old residents, but offering strong in ducements to contemplative new com CTS.
 The number of stores (and the f. nancial condition of same) in a town depends entirely on the amount of patronage accorded the local mer- chant, and where all wants are SUD- piled by these local mercantile estab lishments, the condition is governed by the law of supply and demand. Every dollar spent in your local stores benefits you as we'll as every other in dividual residing in your community. as portion of that dollar will find its way to some municipal develop ment. It sshould require no argument to convince the most skeptical persons that they are doing their community

a serious injury every time they ma@ a purchase elsewhere.
 If resident in some distant city should ask you for a donation to 2 fund to be used for the development of his city, you would, no doubt, re fuse to comply with his request, with the explanation that you are inter ested only in the upbuilding of your own town and community and that ne should confine his solicitations to ms particular locality alone. You would be absolutely right in doing so, and your action in the matter would re ceive the endorsement of every rlghl thinking person in your neighborno0a' In the very face of these facts, cer' tain per cent of small-town people ac' cede to identically the same requeS' above mentioned, but a little differ ently put; in fact, they make doAa' tions of this kind every time they make purchase away from homs' and when the articles wanted can uT had to as good advantage in then local markets, there is absolutely n0 plausible excuse for sending or gong away for them.
 Every small-town merchant ean' and should, offer merchandise m HIS particular line as good as can be Ou, tained elsewhere, and his prices shoulu be the same.
 There are many people living Tn oul smaller cities and towns who prei.' to shop in the larger city stores lns' impression seems to be that theif " cal stores, being less pretentlous' 'aA not give them as good values, s'yiss etc. If this class of buyers rea''A,' the fact that standard or trade-mai' ed-advertised lines of goods offer a' same style and quality, and sell " the same prices in their local S'u's as in the largest city stores' 'l, would patronize their home mefch'" in every instance.

immense Timber BuIIdino.

The high cost and the difficulty of securing lumber in large sizes lung ago eliminated wood as a structural material except In falsework, temper ary construction and structures of small size. Machinery hall. now be- ing built for the Panama Pacific ex. position is. therefore, of more than usual interest. since its frame Is en- tirely of wood. It has a floor area Uf over eight acres and an extreme height of 135 feet. Using as it does about 7,500.000 feet (board measure) of lumber, it is fairly safe to venture the prediction that 1t will be the last great monumental structure to be built of native timber, and we may even hazard the statement that never again will its equal be erected of such material in this ountry-Engineer- ing Record

 Some of the bought silver polishes are very destructive. A harmless and effective homemade preparation con- sists of half pound of whiting sifted into a bowl, to which are added two ounces of spirits of turpentine, one ounce of spirits of wine, half an ounce of spirits of camphor, with one table spoonful of household ammonia. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and bottle. In polishing apply liberally to the sill yer with soft cloth or brush and then allow 1t to dry, after which rub off with soft cloth and polish with chamois.

Celebrating Christmas

But to return to that Christmas cele- bration through which M. Carolus Barbe- muche became memner of the Bohe- mians
 The Bohemians had invited some of the women friends to dine with them that night--not to dine, but to take bite and glass"
 There were Musette. the particular friend of Marcel; Mimi the good friend of Rodolph--a lovely creature with a voice like a pair of cymbals; Schaunard's idol, Phemie-with her bonnet on.
 But~no Madame Conine. She was at home correcting and punctuating her hus- bands manuscripts-an unknown quantity to this gay assembly.
 At the bottom of the room sat a stran- ger who observed with great interest the gay scene before him. The joyous com pany was abandoning itself to sport and laughter. Suddenly Marcel-who had very good eyes-said, 'The glasses are empty"
 What shall we have?' said Rodolph.
 Colline bowed and answered. Tt is the business of the ladies to order"
 T." said Musette. should not be afraid of champagne"
 "I," said Mimi, would not be afraid of some Beaune-it looks 50 tempting in its little basket"
 Phemie paused and said, Well, would rather have Parfait damour"

IAnp List of Grievances

Marcel used to bring his easel there and do some painting in tho intervals between discussion and backgammon, and Schaunard talked of bringing his piano-the only real piece of furniture he possessed.
 He could not have executed his threat, however, for his landlord would never have let the instrument go out of his garrett
 The proprietor made out a long list or grievance, among which was that. now and then, M Schaunard had come there with a young lady calling herself Mile Phenie, "who always forgot to bring her bennett And the fifth speclflca- ton of his indictment was this:
 Not content with being very poor cus- toners. these gentlemen have tried to carry their economy still farther and. under the pretence of having caught the mocha of the establishment in an im- proper alliance with chicory, have brought spirit lamp and make their own cof- fee, sweetening it with their own suear. which is an insult to the Cafe Momus.

 Indian Love for Spade" SOvereigns
 Whether the sovereign Is really popuiar in India is d subject of much arguments Some witnesses before the commission held that it was because notes kept in se- cret places might moulder or be eaten by- rats or white ants. Others maintained that the peasant feels safer from attack when he goes home from the market with crisp 1O-rupee notes leach worth 13s. 4d) tied up in corner or his loln- cloth, instead of jingling gold coins. Al curious fancy of the Indian is his pref erence for the old shield" or spade sovereigns for melting purposes. So great is the demand for "shield sovereigns that they are sold at a premium. and the banks make special arrangements to 1m1 port them from England.
 The facts about hoarding in India ard strange and endless, and although the educated and mercantile classes are now investing more freely in government paper and industrial enterprises, it is to ba feared that the recent widespread failures of native banks in western India, tha Punjab, and elsewhere, will produce an increase in the tendency to hoard. The real extent or the SndSneS laSt autumn in India has never been fully disclosed: but the losses amounted to many millions and carried misery into innumerablo homes. During the height of the craze for 'Swadeshi'' undertakings, in which none but Indians were allowed to partic- ipate the maddest banking institutions were started. Clever rogues soon realized that the populace did not perceive the diff ference between nominal capital and paid-~ up capital. and would put deposits into any bank, with a resonant name if at1 tractive interest were offered. MT. Keyned tells of one ''bank which advertised 920, 000000 as it's nominal capital, and had nd paid-up capital at all.
 Legislation will soon stop these eccen7 tricties. but the Indian agricuturist, whdl is the chief hoarder, will certainly not be tempted from his ways by the impossible expedient of a huge state bank. which the commission tentatively advances. Why the commissions shousd have suggested further inquiries into a project which is unsuited to the varied needs of tho country is the chief puzzle of an other wise able document.
