A cranky mad is n good tleal
like a stubbon mule, deah bred

wen he's inakin people mis'rable
by his continual kickin'.
"Man wan'i: but little here be
low," deah bneddern, but some
men's idea ob what a "little" is
would make die biggist hog in de
world blush at his own abstemi
ousness. De mandat spends de best part
ob his life in "raisin tie devil,"
deah breddieti, '11 ft" e on de las'
day Satan'U play de game ob tit

It's all well to "gib de debbil
his due," deah breddern, but de
safest plan is not to open no ac
counts wid hrm ; den wen de day
for finsl settlement comes dere
won't be nuffin due him.
"Money is de root ob all ebil,"
deah breddern, but dat's no rea
sin why a man should turn his
back on God as soon as he gits
rich enuff to move into a better
house an' keep ahoss 'n carriage.
A homely face am offen a bless

Dere's a good many people in
hell dat ud be in hebben if it hnd

An earnest reformer is a good

with him, but wears him-self out

The Island of Jamaica.
The island of Jamaica was dis
covered bv Columbus upon his
second voyage of discovery in
1494. A landing was effected at
x place known on the old maps
and still known as Oracabassa.
Without regard to many changes
since then in the occupany of the
island, Oracabassa is known to
all steamship men as a great
banana port
In 1889 the entire growth of
bananas, amounting to two
million eignt hundred and seventy-nine
thousand five hundred
and sixtj' bunches, went to the
United States. Of rum manufac
tured, one million two hundred
and sixteen thousand and twelve
gallons were shipped to England
and thirty-seven thousand four
hundred and forty-two gallons
to the United States. A railway
in Jamaica 1 uns between groves
of mangoes, cactus hedges and
banana walks, and along
streams over which great cocoa
nut trees lean and pineapple
bushes grow, then climbing hills

to realize ihe beauty of the
scenery. Confectioners Journal.

Good Roads.
The organisation of the "Na
tional League for good Iioad-."
is a decided step forward in a
movement which is closely asco
ciated with the country's prog
ress and prosperity. The farm
er's interminable dirt loads,
with their annual charges for re
pairs, and admitte to be a
heavy burden upon him; and the
charge is often made that he
plow along in his old furrow, in
different to the benefits that im
proved highways would bring to
him. But the farmer is not alone
culpable in this regard. Mer
chants and manufacturers have
an acknowledged interest in
good roads so far as relates to
the cheap and speedy distribu
tion of goods and the better col
lection of raw materials and
money returns, as also have
banks and bankers in the quick
er movement of cqpital in coun
try business; in short, there is
hardly a trade or business which
would not share in the advan
tages to be derived from this
phase of rural reform. But they,
too, have beer indifferent ; and a
concerted movement such as that
which is now in progress would
undoubtedly help to stir up pub
lic interest and place the matter
in such a li"ht that the whole
community may see the necessi
ty ofcojieration.
The National League, which
was formed in Chicago last
month, is busily engaged in the
work of bringing its aims and
the necessity of its existence be
fore the public; and the favor
with which the announcement of
its projects has been received by
prominent men all over the coun
try is an indication that practi
cal sympathy and substantial
aid will not be wanting. The
Govern rs of various States, in
cluding Pennsylvania, .'ire giving
active support to the movement;
and it is very likely that locd
branches of the League will be
established througout the coun
try. Among the objects sought to
be attained are the establish
ment of a Road Department, an
Institute of Road Engineering
and a permanent road exhibit in
the citv of Washington, as also
a comprehensive exhibit of road
construction and maintenance
at the Columbian Exposition.
The latter should be made an
impressive object lesson to the
hundreds M thousands of people
who will .viiness it. Individual
effort in the way of improvement
of the highways has proved cf-fi-cive
on a small scale in our own
State, ami the public sentiment
that is gradually being aroused
will doubtless eventually compel
the construc'ioti nnif mainte
nance o! improved public high
ways in every State in the Un
ion. Philadelphia Record.
The Camphor Tree.
One of the most beautiful as
well as useful trees is the 'Lain us
camphora' or camphor tree,
says a Cali ornian, I is easily
grown from seed, which has to
be sown shortly after maturing
as the ess ntial oil in the sed
soon becomes rancid and kills the
power of generation. Sown
trcsli the young sprouts come up
in irom nve to six weeks, its
growth is vcrv nearly as rapid
as that of the eucalyptus, whose
properties it shares also, it be
ing claimed to keep away or
counteract inalanal influences
through its pungent exhalations.
In districts in Japan where this
tree is planted largely malaria is
unknown. It attamsea flight of
thirty to forty feet, and, as has
b en proven bv our own ex
perience during the severe lrosts
of February, 1888, is hardier
than the eucalyptus, which froze
to the ground, while the cam
phor tree withstood it. The
wood is valuable. Irunks or
boxes of camphor wood are
known as a preventive from the
attacks of insects on fur or wool
en clothing. The medicinal prop
ertics are too well known to
need any mention. Who has not
at one or other time of theirlives
taken refuge to spirits of cam
phor to assuage some pain ? We
now import annually thousands
of dollars worth of this com
moditv. Whv not have the
home produced articles? Ex.
The cotton crop of Lousianna
is estimated at 4C0.000 bales, a
decrease of 45 per cent.
Use of Old Rat.
Many kinds of waste materi
als of c rfactures are employed
in new forms lor other industries.
Old rags are a familiar instance
of this charge. Woolen rags are
more slowly converted into
final products than those of cot
ton and linen, because they are
valuable for intermediate uses.
Before they are run to earth they
do duty for many forms 01 cheap
clothing. In the United King
dom. Batlev. Dcw.-bury and
Leeds are the grand markets for
woolen rags, though the United
States are running us in close
competition. The greasy, frousy,
C2st off clothes of Europe reap
piar in pilot cloths, Petershams,
beavers, Talmas, Chesterfield
and Mohairs, which modern
dandies wear .vhen thev conult
economy as well a their out
ward uppearanee. vVhen bl ick
coats are too far gone to be
clobbered or revived thev are
sent to various countries to be
made into caps, France, Russia
and Poland requiring them in
large quantity. The wont-out
red tunics of Bntishjsoldicrs al
most exclusively go to Holland
to cover the chests of sturdy
Dutchmen, who conceive them to
be a protection against rheuma
tisni. Uniforms of r. better de
scription, whether military or
liveries, chiefly go to Africa for
the wear of kings and chiefs. It
is only after these transforma
tions that the rags are torn
down into shoddy and mungo
for inferior cloths. When old
woolen rags have reached their
fourth stae of degradation, so
that they are unfit for the shoddy
maker, they arestilleconomical
Iv useful. Thev are then mixed
with other degraded waste such
as sh tvings of hoofs and horns
and the blood of slaughter hous
es, and are melted in an iron pot
with wood ashes and scrap iron.
This process produces the ma
terial out of which the beautiful

The Handkerchief in Public.
It was not until the rein of
the Empress Josephine in France
that the pocket handkerchief
was tolerated at all .'is an article
or public use. No ladv would
lave dared use one in the pres
ence of others. Even the name
was carefully avoidetl in polite
conversation. An acto who
would have ventund to use one
on the stage would have Men
hissed of the boards. It was
only in the beginning of the pres
ent century that Mile. Duchcsnois

)car with a handkerchief in hrr
naud. Having to hpcakofit 1.1

A translation of one of Shakes
marc's plays by Alfred de V'ig-
rev was acted, and tne woro
was used foi the firpt time upon
the stage, and provoked a storm
of indignant hisses from all parts
ol the hcuse.
The Empress Josephine, al
though really a beautiful wo
man, hai very bad teeth, and to
conceal them she was 111 the

which she raised gracefully to
her lips to conceal her teeth. The
