EASY COFFEE GROWING.

The Plant Flourishss With Little or
No Attention In Haiti.
Coffee, the great staple product Of
Haiti, the West Indian island, grows
with little attention. 1t supplies the
bulk Of the revenues of the govern.
ment together with the meager de-
mands Of the simple peasantry Of the
mountains and valleys whose business
it is. especially the women and chill.
dren, to gather it and bring it to the
seaport towns on their heads and on
the backs Of donkeys and horses.
This plant is seen on nearly all the
uplands and mountain sides Of the coun.
try, and as the product is easily port
able it is brought to market from far
and near in oil conceivable quantities,
from one or two pounds up to 200
pounds, accordingly as it is carried on
the head Of a child, the back of a
horse or in sacks in OK carts.
Notwithstanding that the coffee plant
is scarcely cultivated at all it goes on
reproducing itself from fallen berries
SO successfully that the crop only va
ries from year to year through ex-
traneous influences like variation in
the rainfall-the lack of or too album
dant rain near or during the towering
season.-London Telegraph.

NAVAL SIGNALING.
Il Began In Ancient Days BY Raising
and Lowering Sails.

Il Began In Ancient Days BY Raising
and Lowering Sails.
The origin Of the idea of using flags
By day and lanterns by night for sig
mailing in the navy came into being
az far back as the middle ages.
In those ancient days some one
thought out a method Of raising and
lowering sails, the number Of times
they were raised or lowered indicating
the letter that was to be sent. That
proved very wearisome work and was
superseded in the seventeenth century
by the use Of balls and cones hoisted
In various positions on the masts and
booms. At night different colored Ian
terms were used. "
In the following century twelve flags
were used, either singly or in combina-
ton, and these flags supplied all the
signaling that was necessary in fight
ing, as Make all SAIL" Engage the
enemy" "Chase the enemy" or "An-
Choir"
When the battle Of Trafalgar was
fought the signals were sent by light,
guns and flares and flags, and it was
not till after that battle that the sys-
tenn, invented by Sir Home Popham.
was used and on which are based the
present day methods Of signaling.
The system of signaling from ship to
ship by semaphore was due to a
Frenchman named Chappe in 1904 and
adopted in the British navy few
years later.-London Telegraph.

rhsy Wsrs AAsrs ekirmishss Whsn
COMPARED With Modern War "

They Wsrs More ekirmishss When
Compared With Modern Wan \
In the light of modern warfare tho
old time battles shrink ito the proper
lions Of ordinary street brawls. The
opposing armies were usually arrayed
in lines within hearing of one another.
Frequently the actual combat was pre-
luded by an exchange OF sopprobrious
profanity in order to get up the proper
sentiment Of holy wrath, !" which was
considered an Indispensable element n
a soldiers efficiency.
Alexander the Great conquered tho
orient with only $4,000 men. Onga sttll
smaller scale the great battles Of T.
rael appear to have been conducted, 40
told in the Bible accounts. For In
stance, In the fight against Gideon the
1sraelites are said to have suffered &c
we're losses-to wit, thirty men.
The Egyptian army which invaded
Palestine and subjugated the whole
country counted barely 5000 soldiers.
Saul confronted his Palestine adverse
ries with an ':army" of GOO, which in
the course Of time was increased to
1000 after the "militarists" Of those
days had persuaded the authorities to
provide reserve force, sort Of ''land-
sturm," Of 400 warriors brave and bold.
King David's military establishment
did not exceed his predecessors in
numbers. According to the first book
of Kings. however, King Ahab must
have been pretty much of a war lord,
Judging by the standard of olden times.
In his army were 1000 soldiers and q
