Guiana is bounded on the north by the great river Orinoco and on th& south by the still greater river Ama zon. These two grand rivers are con nected with one another, tbe Cisiqui- ure, a branch from the Orinoco, falling Into the Rio Negro, a tributary of thi Amazon. Within Guiana Itself are many rivers of very considerable size. The kingdom of El Dorado was re puted to exist somewhere between the Rio Bi'anco and the Essequibo, called by the Indians the Brother of the Ori noco. Manoa, the capital, was said to be somewhere between the Rio Branco and the Rupununi, a tributary of the Essequibo. From the thirties of tbe sixteenth century some eighteen expe ditions had been sent by the Spaniards to Guiana In search of the golden king dom, Diego de Ordas, oue of the cap tains of Cortes at the conquest of Mex ico, led the first attempt in 1531. After Mm followed many a brave cavalier, but all was in vain, and disasters as well as failure attended nearly all the expeditions. From a state paper in the public >^c- ord office, London, it appears that in 1580 persons who traveled in America had reported that there was a place where the women wore great plates of gold, covering their whole bodies like armor. In every cottage pearls were to be found; in some houses a peck. Ban. queting liouses were built of crystal, with pillars of massive silver, some of gold. Pieces of gold as big as a man’s fist were to be found in the heads of some of the rivers. Raleigh read ac counts of these expeditions, but tht'ir want of success did not deter him from attempting to find the golden region.— Blackwood’s Magazine. WHAT DOES $5.00 A WEEK MEAN TO YOU?

Use One of the Spark Plugs When You Have No Matches. Did you ever while making an auto mobile tour find yourself on a lonely country road, perhaps miles from the nearest house, and suddenly discover that you had no matches? If you were anxious to light the lamps or ea ger for a smoke such a discovery would not prove at all conducive to the smoothness of your temper. There is a simple way In which any one may secure a light without the aid of matches. You may be anxious for a smoke or It may be getting dark and you want to light your lamp, but in any event, you can secure the neces sary light If you will follow these di rections: Unscrew one of the spark plugs and let it lie on the cylinder head. Wrap a small wisp of waste around the end of any small stick of wood or If there Is none handy wrap It around the end of a screwdriver or any other tool. Dip the waste in the gasoline until it is thoroughly soaked. Of course you should have only a very small piece of waste; otherwise the blaze will be too big for you to handle. After dipping this In the gasoline lay it close to the spark plug and turn the engine over im- tll this plug sparks. This will ignite the waste and you will have a little torch sufficient for lighting your lamp Even if there is a heavy rain or snow, you can secure a light in this manner sufficient for your needs.—Detroit Free Press. Seeking Tenant*. A fellow was telling us that when he got the job as a renting man he was so green he started seeking tenants in quite an original way. He called on j the fire stations covering localities where his buildings were situated and a box of cigars to the firemen gained a promise to phone him every time a fire occurred. Day or night he covered the fires. It wasn’t very difficult to get tenants, as he arrived at the psycho logical moment when a man’s store or office was in flames and anything in the way of floor of this kind was ap preciated and many of these tenant® became permanent, for naturally, after being secured under these excep tional circumstances, a strenuous ef fort is made to give them better serv ice than they had previously.—Fiuild- ing Management.
