HAITI THE LAND OF COFFEE
Plant Requires Comparatively No At
tention, and Is Extraordinarily
Productive.

Coffee, the great staple product OF
Haiti, grows with little attention It
supplies the bulk of the revenues OF
the government, and 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 1t 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 country, and
as the product is easily portable 1t is
brought to market from far and near
in all conceivable quantities, from one
OF two pounds up to 200 pounds, ac-
cordingly as it is carried on the head
of child, the back of horse, or in
sacks in OK carts. Notwithstanding
that the coffee plant is scarcely culu-
waited at all, except in small patches
earound the cottages, it goes on repro
ducing itself from fallen berries so
successfully that the crop only varies
from year to year through extraneous
influences like a variation in the rain
fall-the lack Of or too abundant rain
near or during the Towering season.

seaweed Pie.

According to some French scientists
seaweed will become one of the popu-
lar foods of the future. Already Japan
uses it in a number Of dainty table
dishes, and also cultivates it extensive

In Brittany, too, the lower classes
gather as much as twenty to thirty
tons a year. and call It by the name or
Iceland moss. The peasants 1 north
ern France are beginning to follow the
example and number II among their
articles Of diet.
In other localities the weed is looked
upon as possessing great medicinal
value, and in Corsica it is prescribed
by the doctors as sure cure for all

pIsasant Word Helps.

A pleasant word is real force in
lettering society. It helps religion,
business. education, politics and all
the other activities Of life. If the
pleasant word we're universal. man
kind would be so per cent happier than
il is. A pleasant word is like a streak
OF sunshine on dark day. It puts a
smile on everything around And then
there is a reflex action in a pleasant
word. for Il Immediately returns in
the form of a new joy to the heart
that inspired IT, Try the pleasant
word and see how happy it makes you
right of. Experience will tell you,
that's the thing; do it more"
