this account Of somewhat simiIar IN

woman had managed to get along
somehow, but there came day when
her patience became exhausted It
was In harvest, and she expected to
have several extra men to dinner. Be-
fore her husband went to work she

When the men came to dinner they

It was set in the usual way, but moth

a big pan of biscuit dough, and at the
other was a platter Of freshly-cut ham

things on the table, such as raw pota-

the woman explained that since she
had no wood she had been unable to

Books of Ancient Roman
Writers Not Protected

No law Of copyright protected the
interests Of authors; and when the
works Of Cicero, produced by expert
enced copyists whom Atticus had pur-
chased, were circulated In Italy and
Greece, there was nothing to prevent
an enterprising tradesman from en-
ploying his own slaves to pirate, with
gross blunders. the authorized edition.
The booksellers shops were situated
mainly In street called the Argyle
tum, which abutted on the north of
the Forum. not far from the Rostra.
The books were written on papyrus
imported from Alexandria, and were
mounted on wooden rollers. The titles
Of new publications were posted upon
pillars outside the shops; but their
best advertisement, apart from the
reputation Of the writer, was the
praise Of his friends, when their judg-
ment was known to be sound. Their
prices, considering that they were pro-
duced by hand, seem remarkably low !;
handsome copies Of the first book Of
Martial's epigrams were sold for five

cessive.-T. Rice Holmes, In 1.-THE Ro-

Countess Introduced
Quinine Into Spain

Quinine is obtained from the pow
dered bark of the cinchona tree.
Early In the Seventeenth century the
countess Of Cinchon and her husband
went to live at Lima, in Peru, the
count having been appointed viceroy.
In one of the provinces grew a tree
the bark Of which was said to cure
fever. The governor of the province,
hearing some years later that the
countess had contracted the dread dis
ease, sent her parcel of the bark.
1t cured her and later, on returning
to Spain. she took with her quantities
Of the drug. In spite of prejudice, its
use became popular. The trees from
which 1t was obtained were gradually
being used up and the drug became
expensive.
In 1890 Sir Clement Markham Or
ganized an expedition to Peru to col
lect plants of the cinchona with the
idea Of introducing their culture into
India. where 1t was thought they
would grow well and where the use of
the drug would be beneficial In view
Of the climatic conditions being so con-
ducive to fever.
Although the plants died on the way
to India. the seeds survived and now
there are dourishing plantations In
Burma and Ceylon; while more re

Wall Street Coffee Center

Wall street" is regarded the world
over as a synonym of ''high finance" /;
yet 1t has been quite as permanently
associated in its history with coffee.
The lower part Of the street toward
the East river. and the neighborhood
adjoining to the north and south, bus
principally to the south, is still redo
lently given over to the offices and
warehouses Of coffee merchants and
brokers.
William n Ukers, in his book, "All
About Cofree." recently published by
the Tea and Coffee Trade Journal, de-
votes an interesting chapter to the his
tory Of coffee trade in the United
States. much Of which centers in this
small but influential locality. 1t is
surprising to find how many Of the
best-known merchants Of the city en-
gagged at one time or another In the
coffee trade.-Detrott News.

After running little way the
Dwarf came waddling back to his
cave, and Young Weasel ran nimbly
up to him and said: "If you please.
sir. l can help you to be rid of the
rats. You need not get the black
cat. l am very spry and nimble;
watch me jump"
Young Weasel leaped into the air,
then he ran like a streak Of light
under the bushes and, while the Dwarf
was peeking from under the black hood
which he wore over his head to see
where he had gone. Young Weasel ap-
peared again at his side.

Dwarf, pulling his long black cape
over his bumped shoulders and back.
Il believe you can catch those rascals
and will pay you well II you will rid
me Of their visits, for they are spoil
ing my work. Soon shall not have
enough colors left to make the trees
beautiful In the fall"
1t did not take Young Weasel long
to prove TO the Dwarf that he had
not promised something he could not
do, for as soon as the rats discovered
he was living in the Dwarfs cave, as
some Of them did to their sorrow, all
the others ran of to another part Of
the country and never came back.
"As soon as the Dwarf was satisfied
he was rid of his enemies for good he
asked Young Weasel what he could
do to repay him for his good work.
Give me a white coat to wear with
my white vest in the winter time"
said Young Weasel. "Then can run
over the snow without being seen 50
easily by my enemies"
1t took some time before the Dwarf
could make the brown coat white but
after covering the brown part with
something he made from boiling roots
and twigs and then making Young
Weasel sit in the doorway of the cave
in the sun, the longed-for coat was
his.
The weasels were satisfied to have
their brown coats In summer and their
white coats in winter, and from that
day all the northern weaseis have
worn the coats for which their an
cestor, Young Weasel. set the style
long, long ago.
