Many Toys Made.
For their special Christmas work they
have made any number of things which
are on sale and with which they hope to
prove that such industrial work can be

HOW POET QUIETED HORSE
Incident Proved British Laureate Had
Something More Than a Modicum
of Common Sense.

Tennyson once arrived at Haslemore
station carrying a heavy parcel of
books; and as his own carriage had
not arrived to meet him, he was glad
to accept the offer of a lift home.
Going up the steep hills to Black
down, Tennyson, with his characterize
ic consideration for animals, suggested
that they and the books were too
heavy for the pony to drag.
The two men therefore got out and
walked for some distance in front of
the trap, until they discovered that
the books had dropped out.
The owner of the pony asked Tenny-
son to stand at the animals head
while he went back for the books.
These he found a hundred yards or
more down the hill, and on his return
he found the pony had been FESTIVE,
but had quickly become quiet.
Knowing that it disliked strangers,
he wondered how Tennyson had kept
it quiet. What was his surprise to
learn that the poet had managed the
affair by holding a watch close to the
animals ear.-London Times.

GROWING OF COCA LEAVES
Maintenance of an Extensive PIanta.
ton Demands Much Care
and Work.

The cultivation of coca leaves is very
similar to that Of tea. The bushes are
kept at height of four to six feet by
severe pruning. Under the most IA
vorable conditions of growth, such as
the island of Java affords, it is possi-
bic to collect the leaves at short in
tervals throughout the entire year.
Nevertheless the maintenance of an
extensive coca plantation demands
much care and work keeping out
weeds and pests, thereby raising the
production price of the leaves consid-
erably.
The general view of one of these
plantations is especially pleasing. The
light-green luxuriant foliage of the
coca bushes, that carpet the rolling
hillsides for miles around, contrasting
with the dark green foliage of the trees
of adjoining rubber estates. while all
is surrounded by dark depths of virgin
forests, makes a landscape that is
beautiful indeed.

tainS. Macuto, q bathing resort several
miles eastward, is connected by cleo
trio line. There is a good hotel and
many aristocratic VeneZuelanS and
foreigners frequent the resort. If the
tourist is fond of climbing he may fol-
low the course taken from this point
in 1880, when the buccaneers scaled
the mountains and descended on Car
acas.
Through the Islands.
Steaming out of the. harbor of La
Guaira on one of the larger east-bOund
vessels, we pass along the Venezuelan
coast for several hundred miles, Occa-
sionally catching a glimpse of the TO-
liage-bedecked shore, but without
stop until Port of Spain, Trinidad, is
reached.
The island of Trinidad lies only 16
miles off the coast of Venezuela and
almost opposite the delta of Orinoco.
1t is British possession and, together
with Tabago, near by, forms joint
colony. Port of Spain is the chief
shipping center and has a population
of 10000; in recent years there have
been many immigrants from India and
other oriental lands.
About 20 miles northeast of Trini-
dad lies the island of Barbados, an
other English possession and one also
offering the tourist, in addition to in
| tereSting sightseeing, pleasant hotel ac-
commodationS. Excellent highways
lead from Bridgetown, the capital, to
all parts of the island. The old-fash-
toned windmills to be seen in every di-
rection are some of the picturesque
features in connection with sugar pro-
duction. COdrington university, the
Oldest college of the West Indies, is
IA miles away; Boiling Spring, another
sight visited by tourists, is Is miles
from the capital. During our winter
months there is usually a large quota
of tourists from the United States to
be found at Barbados, the climate be-
ing especially inviting and salubrious.
A number of the northbound vessels
after calling at Bridgetown pass east
ward of the group known as Leeward
islands. Frequently the ship is near
enough for good birdseye view of
the towns and settlements. The first
island passed is st. Lucia; an hour or
two later the ship passes Martinique
in full view of the remains of st.
Pierre, the town destroyed by the vol
cano Mount Pelee a few years ago;
the next island is Dominica, with it's
quaint little capital, Roseau; Guade-
loupe, st. Kits, and other islands are
passed in turn. In order to stop over
at the various islands the traveller
maintained, which has regular sailings
of steamers from Bridgetown.

Earle Terry looked after her, stand
ing still in his perplexity. His face
was white, and set with the agony
Juggling at his heart. For year he
had loved Elizabeth with all the in
tensity of a deep, earnest nature. Six
months they had been engaged, and
now this cloud threatened to burst in
to storm wrecking his hope of hap
pineSS.
Elizabeth was only a trifle over
eighteen, but her parents being in mod
crate circumstances, she had felt on
leaving school, she must do something
to earn her living. But an indulgent
father and mother. had wished her to
first enjoy her release from studies,
and when Earle Terry, teller in the
one bank of the little town, began to
pay her marked attentions, his suit
was regarded with favor by Elizabeth's
father, who knew the steady, indus
trious character of the young man.
The charity benefit brought Eliza
beth out in new light. She did fair
ly well in her small role, and in
judicious friends exaggerated her sue
cess. Her mind was made up to go
on the stage, and the mild opposition
of her parents was. soon overcome.
Fernleigh had one theater, and was
