. Strange Children. George Bancroft, the historian, used to relate with gusto a joke that he caught while trotting to school along u Massachusetts country road. It was about old Levi Lincoln, says Percy H. Epler in "Master Minds at the Com monwealth's Heart." The old gentleman was nearly blind. A flock of geese was being driven gobbling up Lincoln street Leaning far out of the carriage, the fine old aristocrat, thinking they were . children, threw out a handful of pen nies, graciously exclaiming: "God bless you. my children!" .THREE CURED OF ECZEMA "When a child, I suffered eight years with eczema. I could not sleep at night, and had sores all over my chest. We had doctors and none could do any good, until my mother saw the advertisement of the Cuti cura Remedies In the paper. We used the Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and they cured me of eczema. I also used them on my five children. Two of them had eczema very badly. When my children had eczema, I was not worried at all, as I knew the Cutlcura Remedies would do their work. They had sores all over their heads, their hair would fall out, and they would scratch all night and day. They had it on their heads, face, and in back of the ears so that I thought their ears would drop off. I washed their heads and bodita with Cutlcura Soap and they are as clean as the driven snow. Cutlcura Soap and Ointment also cured my children of ringworm. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies. They are wonderful." (Signed) Mrs. Violet Cole. 26 S.

CtMRMra CMM) M SKOT® ©omiot® SS b I Hi- £ P/cAmi ALTHOUGH the cultivation of cacao was introduced into the Island of Santo Domingo from Venezuela by Spanish settlers more than two hundred years ago, and the crop now produced and exported is of such magnitude as to give the Dominican Republic one of | the leading positions in the cacao world, yet the cultivation continues to be largely a matter of chance, no systematic attention being paid to the several details so necessary to insure the best returns. Soil and climate are not met halfway, and the result Is only nature's unaided contribution to the world's supply of an Important article of diet. The contrast in this respect with other cacao countries must be noticeable. As a rule cacao Is grown by the small planter. There ere a few large plantations, but even on them tbe requisite care Is not taken. Trees are allowed to grow with but little attention to the proper dis tance that should be between them, so that there Is often the aspect of un dergrowth Instead of an orderly or chard; selection of the best soli Is not made to give the greatest yield, nor are the frees pruned In order to avoid that waste in substance that should be retained for the develop ment of the fruit itself. An apprecia tion of the foregoing statements will convey an Idea of what the future may be for cacao In the Dominican Repub lic when the essential efforts are put forth in its cultivation. Unquestion ably, cacao is destined to be the main stay of the country, pnd the income ffom the sale of this natural product creates wealth more widely distribu ted among the people than Is true of the other principal product, sugar. A great advantage enjoyed by Dominican cacao is that Santo Domin go occupies a geographical position nearest to New York of any of the leading producing countries, and New York Is the metropolis of the country of greatest cacao consumption. This geographical feature should exert an Influence on freight rates, and espe cially so when with the completion of the Panama canal all of the West In dies will reap commercial benefits pro portionally greater than other sec tions. Cacao cultivation Is confined prin cipally to the Clbao section, in the northern part of the island. Here there (s an abundant rainfall, so nec essary for tbe growth and maturing of tbe cacao bean. Tbe best quality cacao comes from the Province of Setbo, In th vicinity of Hlguey, and from around Sabana de la Mar on the south coast of Samana bay. The plantations in the two sections par ticularly named are controlled by for eigners, Swiss and French, who are doing and have already accomplished something definite toward improving the quality of Dominican cacao, with the very natural commercial conse quence that the cacao marketed by them commands a much better price than obtained in the other district, from whence comes the bulk of the product, These efforts of the Indi viduals mentioned, with the tangible reward accrued, will do nrtich toward encouraging tbe native growers to adopt similar methods If they would increase their income. , On either side of the Yuna river, which flows Into Samana bay close to the port of Sanchez, there Is available land open to settlement by purchase. The soil is said to be splendidly adapted to cacao and the annual rain fall meets the requirement in that re respect. There are cacao trees still bearing in Santo Domingo claimed to be all of 100 years old, and an average tree will continue to yield until it is CO years old. The arerage Dominican cacao bears favorable comparison with that pro duced on the island of Sao Thome, Africa; and the best quality—that which is given special care at time of fermentation —is to he claseed with the beat Rahla product. Dominican labor is Inexpensive, and perhaps can be employed to better advantage on a cacao plantation than where heavier work is the rule. To start a cacao plantation the Initial and principal Investment would be confined to the land Itself. Then would be the Item for fencing. No expensive machinery Is required nor Is any elaborate plant necessary. Of course there will come off years, as In all pursuits, but If they do the loss will not be heavy, as would be the case If It were necessary to maintain a costly establishment during a dis astrous year. The world's consumption of cacao Is Increasing at a greater rate than the recorded gain In production. It la unlikely that the latter will overtake the former. The demand for choco late, cocoa, and the many confections In which cacao Is used expands year by year. Sections of the world's area where cacao can successfully be grown are necessarily limited, owing to climatic requirements. The com parative facility with which this crop can be produced, harvested and trans ported gives It advantages not en- Joyed by other tropical products. The principal markets for Domini can cacao are the United States, o>r many and France, In the order named. During the current year the prevailing price obtained In the Re public has been around eight dollair per quintal of 60 kilos. W. E. PULLIAM. ENTERED IN LONG CONTEST Farmer's Explanation of Matter* Proved That He Had a Strong Sense of Humor. A farmer was chasing an escaped pig along the highroad. The animal was putting him far to tho rear. A neighbor, passing In a buggy, camo to a stop, turned to watch the pur cult, roaring with laughter. "Don't you want to borrow my hers® and bus gy?" lie cried. The farmer seemed Incensed by thlj pleasantry and drew himEelf up as If to make an angry reply. But h» thought better of It. Over his face crept a look of stolid good nature. Ik perched on the fence and kicked th« dust from his boots. "It's a powerful tiring race," he be gan in a tone that invited friendly conversation. "Well. I guess It Is. You'd better wait and take a train and head him ofl at some way station during the night." "He's still falling farther behind me." drawled the farmer. "But I'm r.frald he's bogun to get his second wind. Still I don't think he can catch me, do you?" "Behind you! Catch you? Well, hardly, going that way." "That's what I think. You see, this ( is one of them round-the-world raeos that automobiles talk about. He's a whole lap behind me, except for f.fce few rods that he seems to be ahead i of me. All that surprises me is the way he can keep up the trail, being so ! far behind. "Oh, there. I see he's losing It now —going through that gap into a pot i- j to patch. I want to be fair, so If you'll excuse me. I'll run down and lap him. and steer him right."— ! Youth's Companion.

Visitor —And you always did your daring robberies single handed ? Why didn't you have a pal? Prisoner- Well, sir, I wttz afraid he might turn out to be diahoneat Rim TRAP NEST IS EASILY MADE One Shown In Illustration Has Been 'Jsed at Several Stations * ith Much Success. The trap nest shown in the Illustra Hon herewith has been used with sat isfaction at a number of poultry sta tions. It Is very simple, inexpensive, easy to attend and certain In Its ac tion. It is a box-like structure, 28 inches long, 13 Inches wide, and 10 inches deep, inside measurements. A divi sion board with a circular opening Inches in diameter Is placed across the box, 12 inches from the rear and Nest Set Ready for Use. 15 Inches from the front. The rear lection is the nest proper. Instead of i tight door at the entrance, a light frame of lxlH-lnch stuff Is covered with wire netting of a one-inch mesh. The door is ten Inches square and does not fill the entire entrance, a space of two inches being left at the bottom and one inch at the top, with a good margin at each side to avoid friction. It is hinged at the top and swings Into the box. The hinges are placed on the front of the top of the loor rather than at the center or rear, the better to secure complete clos ing action. The trap consists of one piece of stiff wire about three-six teenths of an Inch In diameter and 22 inches long. This piece of wire Is shaped so that a section of It 11 Inches long rests directly across the circular opening In the division board and Is held In place by two clamps, Dne on either side of the circular ripening. The clamps fit loosely and the slots are long enough to allow the wire to work up and down about six Inches, without much friction. The next section of wire Is eight inches lung, and Is bent so that It is at right angles with the 11-inch section, an I impses along the side of the box 11 Incheh above the floor toward the en trance door, and is fastened strongly to the wall by staples, but yet loosely enough that the wire can roll easily. The remaining section of the wire, which Is three Inches long, Is bent toward the center of the box, with an upward Inclination, so that it sup ports the door when the latter is open. The end of the wire Is turned over smoothly, forming a notch Into which the door may be slipped when opened. As the hen passes under the open door and then through the circular opening to the nest, she raises herself so that her keel may pass over the lower part of the division board. In doing so, her back presses against the horizontal wire and lifts It enough that the end supporting the door slldeg from under It. The door swings down and passes a wire spring (neat the bottom of the box at the entrance), which locks It and prevents the hen from escaping and the others from entering. A strong button can be at t ached to the center of the box at the bottom of the outside to hold the door I Frame Work of Nest. In position when closed. By turning the button, the door can then bf swung outward to release the bird. Selecting Eggs for Setting. A selected lot of one dozen hene will lay as many eggs as the aver age farmer will care to have hatched and If the hens are re-mated to a pure-bred cock he will be the sire ol all the chickens hatched on the farm, thus securing uniformity in color and general characteristics, instead ol having chicks of all shapes, sizes and colors and not of a characteristic merit. The hens not In company will lay Just as many eggs as If with them, and the eggs will aossess bet ter keeping qualities than those tha" xre fertile. Care of Chicks. As soon as the young chicks arc hatched it is a good p'un to remove them to the garden or out under the trees, If the weather is favorable, where they can get plenty of insect* to l eat and catch all they Ilk*.
