Fierce Wars Over Cinnamon.

For over 200 years wars ragged and
nation succeeded nation in possession
of the island of Ceylon, in their greed
to obtain the fragrant cinnamon.
Finally the land fell to the lot of the
Portuguese, who so cruelty treated
the natives that they appealed to the
Dutch, with whom they were on.
friendly terms, to come to their aid.
This nation for seven months laid
siege to the island, carrying on q
fierce warfare IN which many persons
persisted.
Finally in possession, the Dutch
were hardly less cruel to the natives
than their former rulers. They tried
to keep the monopoly of the trade Of
the world; not a single cinnamon
plant was allowed to leave the island.
If the crop was larger than that de-
manded by trade and the price in dam
ger of being lowered, all that re-
manned was burned or Thrown into
the sea.
Cinnamon is now grown in many
tropical countries, and much im-
proved by cultivation.
