ports to the board by Capt. g. L. Car

ship chambers, repair men and others

seemed to be in a general agreement
to mulct the shipping board vessels
to the limit.
I'm receiving my orders I was told
that while the board appreciated the
fact that expenses of all sorts were
high in Buenos Aires and Montevideo,
still 1t felt that there must be some
thing wrong when their vessels paid
such prices, for instance, as 81 a
pound for butter.
1T seems that the practice was when
a shipping board vessel appeared In
the roads and signaled its desire to
enter for those who had hopes Of SELL
ing the vessels supplies to prepare for
a plucking of the golden goose.

Monuoose In Trinidad.

The mOngpOse was originally intro
duced into Trinidad from st. Lucia for
the purpose Of Kidding the island of
both rats and snakes, but at the pres
ent time 1t Is itself considered very
serious pest. Moreover the sugar pro-
duetion Of Trinidad has diminished
somewhat during the last few years,
chiefly because of the ravages of frog
hoppers. since the lizards, which for
merly kept them in check, are being
exterminated by the mongoose. In fact,
many estate owners in Trinidad pay
shilling head for every mongo0se
destroyed on their estates, and many
thousands are destroyed every year
without any attempt being made to
save the skins. Consul Baker, there
fore, suggests that possibly these mon
goose skins might have considerable
economic utility in the United States,
and has forwarded sample of such
a skin to the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce, where it may be
examined by interested persons.

SPOON IN FAVOR WITH TURKS


According to figures compiled by the
American Cutlery bureau Of informa-
ton, the average yearly requirements
Of Constantinople before the war In
the way Of cutlery were $1,000 dozens
Of table knives. $1,000 dozens Of
spoons, 10000 dozens of forks, 5000
dozens Of scissors. 25.O0O dozens of
razors Of all kinds and 5000 dozens If
hair clippers.
As will be seen. much more spoons
are sold than forks, which is contrary
to the experiesce in other countries
where. as rule. more forks are re
quired than spoons. This is explained
by the fact that Constantinople sup
plies great quantities Of cutlery to
Asia Minor and other outlying regions
of the former Turkish empire. where
table manners still have not been de-
veloped up to the standard Of Paris.
The Arab is fond of the spoon, be-
cause II is handy in eating his cereals,
but he prefers to deal with chops by
way of the fingers, which is more
simple procedure than piercing ones
eye with a fork.
So II is the spoon that stands on the
top Of the list of the cutlery orders
coming from Turkey to Uncle Sam.
II Is conceded in all foreign countries
today that American table cutlery
holds the center of the stage in point
of quality.
