JAMAICA'S MYSTERY. ONE FINGER OF FATE IN THE FALL OF HER CAPITALS. Tragedies That Are Written In the History of Her Ruined Cities—Two of Them Vanished Utterly From Off the Face of the Earth. There exists in Jamaica, in the West Indies, a universal superstition that a curse rests upon any town chosen to be its capital. Since 1509; when the first chief city was founded, no fewer than three capitals have been ruined in mysterious and tragic ways. Two have vanished utterly from the face of the earth. Some of the more superstitious of the colonists, brooding over the strange history of their country, fear that Kingston, the present capital, a city of 70,000 inhabitants, will share the fate of its predecessors. The first capital was Sevilla Nueva (New Seville), otherwise called Seville d'Oro (the Golden Seville), on account of its marvelous wealth. It was founded by Don Juan d'Esquivel and Diego, a son of Christopher Columbus. In a few years it became the greatest Spanish city in the new world. Thither flocked the blue blooded but impecunious nobles of Castile, eager to rebuild their family fortunes at the expense of the poor Arawak. Cathedrals, palaces and monasteries, rivaling those of Spain in splendor, were erected. The marble streets were crowded with gayly clad courtiers and Indian slaves, who toiled for them and brought them tribute from mine and jungle. Then, in a night, the city vanished, and no one can tell today what happened to it. No survivors and no records were left behind to tell the tale. Today one can see, buried in tropical jungle, a mile of marble pavement and a few broken columns and arches. Nothing else remains of the Golden Seville, once so prosperous and splendid, except a few contradictory native traditions. These traditions variously ascribe the destruction of the city and its inhabitants to a mutiny of the oppressed Indians, an earthquake, a sudden visitation of millions of red ants and an attack by French buccaneers. The very memory of what was once the greatest city of the new world has almost perished. Even in Jamaica few people know anything about the Golden Seville. The Spaniards made Saint Jago de la EFFECT OF A FIRE. The Way Two Women Were Changed From Enemies to Friends. "It is curious how a fire will make people forget the conventionalities," said an M street woman. "For two years I've lived where I live now, and I've never made the acquaintance of my next door neighbor. Indeed, what with the birds she keeps and my pet cat, we've gone beyond being mere strangers and have become almost open enemies. "The night of the fire at the church near us I flew to the window at the first sound of the engines. I couldn't persuade my husband to put on his coat and go with me. So as fires have a perfectly irresistible fascination for me I dashed out alone. Almost the first person I saw was an intoxicated negro, and I simply reached out and took hold of a strange woman's arm. She was alone in the crowd, as I was, and we clung together for support for a half hour or so. We talked as if we'd known each other always, and it wasn't until I was going home that I really looked at the woman's face. It was my next door neighbor, and we both laughed when each recognized the other. "We went off home like old cronies and had a cup of hot coffee together before we parted. I like her immensely, and I hope she likes me. We've been marketing together twice and once to the matinee. We're going to be chums, and if there hadn't been a fire in the neighborhood I suppose we'd have gone on forever detesting each other."—Washington Post. ABILITY TO DRINK MILK. It Is a Test of Perfect Digestion In Nearly All Cases. Milk is known to be one of the few complete foods. It contains the bone, muscle and fat producing elements and sustains the heat of the body. The milk of different classes of animals (mammals) varies in composition to suit the different requirements, thus mare's milk is richer in sugar, but lacking in protein compared with cow's milk. Another fact of interest connected with milk is found in the difficulty with which some persons digest plain milk. It is safe to say that should any organ, secretion or digestive juice fail to perform its free duty the milk consumed will not be properly digested. MAKING MATCHES Hand Labor and Slow Method in the Industry Was New. The first really efficient luciifer must be put to the credit of Mr Walker of Stockton-on-Tees; the year 1827 placed them on the ket under the name of "Congress compliment to Sir William Coyne" the inventor of the war rocket matches were sold for a shilling which contained, besides a feather of the matches, a little piece of sandpaper, through which each of wood had to be drawn back could be made to inflame. An tin box, stamped with the royalty and bearing the word "Congress preserved as a curiosity in one London museums. As in the case of all other insects this one was initiated by hand alone. The splints of wood doubt originally dipped in the composition one by one, but frequently they were tied up inside and dipped en bloc, the working each bundle a twist with him so that the end of each spline be free to move to a certain amount than it would if kept quiet. The next advance was to fix them in a frame so that each was seated from its neighbor, and this frightening about 1,500 matches, brought down on a marble surface which the composition was tested. The tipped matches, still intact would then be dried in a few hours and afterward placed in a heated chamber to complete desiccation. Manual labor is most wholly dispensed with manufacture of matches. The ment of yellow phosphorus charging of matches made them try a very unhealthy one, workpeople, if not in their health, ran the risk of contagious disease known as norwalk or jawbone, the vulgar rash which was "phossy jaw." Improvements in manufacture has now been eliminated.-CYOTH AND AGED The Thoughts That Filled the Old Lady. It was 9 o'clock in the evening night of the great dance in this room. She was almost ready. A touches, a little readjustment. The ground opening in Several Places at once,” wrote an eyewitness in 1692, a few days after the catastrophe, “swallowed up Multitudes of People together, whole Streets sinking under water with Men, Women and Children in them; and those Houses which but just now appeared the Fairest and Loffiest in these Parts and might vie with the Finest Buildings in the World were in a moment Sunk in the Earth, and nothing to be seen of them; such Crying, such Shrieking and Mourning I never heard, nor could anything in my Opinion appear more Terrible to the Eye of Man. Here a Company of People Swallowed up at once; there a whole Street tumbling down, and in Another Place the Trembling Earth opening her Ravenous Jaws, let in the Merciless Sea, so that this Town is become a Heap of Ruins. Several People were Swallowed up of the Earth, when, the Sea breaking in before the Earth could Close, they were washed up again and Miraculously saved from Perishing. Others the Earth received up to their Necks, and then Closed upon them and squeezed them to Death, with their Heads above Ground, many of which the Dogs Eat; Multitudes of People Floating up and down, having no Burial. The Burying Place at the Palisades is quite Destroyed, the Dead Bodies being washed out of their Graves, their Tombs beat to Pieces and they floating up and down; it is sad to think how we have Suffered. “The Earth hath still fits of Shaking, with very much Thunder and Lighting, and dreadful Weather; yet this had so little effect upon some People here that the very same Night they were at their Old Trade of Drinking and Swearing; breaking up Warehouses; Pillaging and Stealing from their Neighbors, even while the Earthquake lasted, and several of them were destroyed in the very Act; and indeed Milk is known to be one of the few complete foods. It contains the bone, muscle and fat producing elements and sustains the heat of the body. The milk of different classes of animals (mammals) varies in composition to suit the different requirements, thus mare’s milk is richer in sugar, but lacking in protein compared with cow’s milk. Another fact of interest connected with milk is found in the difficulty with which some persons digest plain milk. It is safe to say that should any organ, secretion or digestive juice fail to perform its free duty the milk consumed will not be properly digested. The reason for this is simple. Milk contains such a variety of compounds that all portions of the digestive system are called into activity for the digestion of these varied elements. The gastric juice attacks the cheesy matter; the pancreatic and intestinal juices digest the sugars and fats. This takes the milk through the stomach, the small intestines into the large intestine. The lower intestine digests wood fiber also. This alone of all the forms of food nutrients is not found in milk. Because of the facts above stated the ability to drink milk is a test of perfect digestion in nearly all cases. QUEER ILLUSIONS. Morbid Minds That Associate Names and Numbers With Colors. “Numerals have no colors to you and to me,” said a psychologist. “Three, for instance, doesn’t seem to us to be pink, and eight doesn’t seem to us to be brown, but there are certain slightly diseased minds to which almost every word in the language appears to have color. “The odd part of this matter is that when you study the minds that attribute colors to figures you find them almost unanimous in attributing to each figure a particular hue. Thus, they will say that one is black, two is cream, three is pale brown, four is red brown, five is blue, six is tan, seven is green, and so on. Finding among the morbid so uniform a belief in the blackness of one, the blueness of five and the greenness of seven, you almost persuade yourself that these figures actually have colors. “Some morbid minds hold that names have colors. A New Orleans glyptologist says that to him John is blue, Atlanta is steel gray, Peter is brown, and so on. “Mankind harbors an incredible number of illusions. Each one of us, perhaps, has an illusion of some sort. Mine is that if I count getting a thing I desire I will be surely disappointed. My wife’s is that her brother appears to her in dreams. “I know a nervous, pallid woman who attributes certain perfumes to certain sounds. A soprano voice to her is like lilies of the valley. A tenor voice is like roses. A contralto voice is like heliotrope. A bass voice like violeta.” Animal Oils In Medicine. The number of animal oils and fats used in medicine are extremely numerous. Large quantities of oil are obtained in Tasmania from the mutton bird and used as a liniment for rheumatism, while the fat of the fritule is said to be an excellent workpeople, if not in the health, ran the risk of contagious disease known as new jawbone, the vulgar mast which was “phossey jaw.” provements in manufacture has now been eliminated.-CYOUTH AND AGES The Thoughts That Filled the and the Old Lady. It was 9 o’clock in the evening night of the great dance in thily room. She was almost ready. All touches, a little readjustment the mirror, and then, beautifully, she stepped out into and slowly descended the stair. She was very young, but serious face, her ease and perseverity in herself indicated that was not new at the business evening. Somehow there was of sadness to her face. As she passed down the paused in front of the library party wrap over her arm, brary, her face half shaded evening lamp, sat an old worn silver hair was smoothed back forehead that time had no from wrinkles. She looked up from the book reading with a bright smile. “Off again, my dear?” she said. “Yes, grandma. It’s another I had to go. But it’s so tired She sat down wearily and a moment absently into the fire on the hearth. There was silence; then the old woman. “My dear, you do not see tonight. Of what are you told Her granddaughter looked.” Of the past,” she said, w And then she said as she gathered up her wraps: “But, granny, you seem cheerful tonight. Of what you thinking?” And the old woman replied, I was thinking of the Twentieth Century Home. The Tomato. The tomato has a curiously England, it was looked upon picton and its specific name cum, derived from lykos persikon (a peach), referr beautiful but deceptive app its fruit, intimates pretty kind of estimation in wh held.

That poets often need food Is something everybody knows But what they need all else Is a few more words that “love.” at the Palisades is quite Destroyed, the Dead Bodies being washed out of their Graves, their Tombs beat to Pieces and they floating up and down; it is sad to think how we have Suffered. "The Earth hath still fits of Shaking, with very much Thunder and Lightning, and dreadful Weather; yet this had so little effect upon some People here that the very same Night they were at their Old Trade of Drinking and Swearing; breaking up Warehouses; Pillaging and Stealing from their Neighbors, even while the Earthquake lasted, and several of them were destroyed in the very Act; and indeed this Place has been one of the Ludest in the Christian World, a sink of all filthiness, and a mere Sodom." Old Port Royal lies buried beneath the sea. The present town of Port Royal, a place of no importance except as a coaling station, was built after the earthquake, a fire and a landslide having destroyed the few houses left standing. Kingston was not founded until the early part of the eighteenth century, out it has already been thrice destroyed by fire and several times ravaged by hurricanes. The inhabitants naturally wonder what catastrophe will happen next. John Bright's Speeches. John Bright had a curious method of guarding against any failure of memory or language in his public speeches. When he had to deliver a speech of importance he wrote a sort of essay on the subject and tore it up. He then wrote another and treated it in the same way, and finally a third. In this way he considered that he had not only exhausted his own thoughts upon the matter in hand, but had gained such a command over the language in which it could be expressed that he could never be at a loss for the right word. The Escapes He Wanted. "Is there danger from fire here?" "Oh, no," replied the hotel clerk. "We are well provided with fire escapes." "I don't care a hang about that. How are you fixed for man escapes?"—Chicago Post. Not In Practice. "That man has studied political economy." "Maybe so," said Senator Sorghum, "but the injudicious way he spends his money at an election looks to me like political extravagance."—Washington Animal Oils In Medicine. The number of animal oils and fats used in medicine are extremely numerous. Large quantities of oil are obtained in Tasmania from the mutton bird and used as a liniment for rheumatism, while the fat of the frigate bird is said to be an excellent specific for sciatica. Cod liver oil is too well known to bear more than mention, and the oil got from the dugong, an aquatic monster related to the whale tribe, has a high reputation as a substitute for that obtained from the smaller fry of the cod. From six to fourteen gallons of this medicinal oil can be taken out of a single animal. JINGLES AND JESTS. The Fall.

The first really efficient lucifer match must be put to the credit of Mr. John Walker of Stockton-on-Tees; who in the year 1827 placed them on the market under the name of "Congreves," in compliment to Sir William Congreve, the inventor of the war rocket. These matches were sold for a shilling a box, which contained, besides a few dozen of the matches, a little piece of folded handpaper, through which each splint of wood had to be drawn before it would be made to inflame. An original tin box, stamped with the royal arms and bearing the word "Congreve," is preserved as a curiosity in one of the London museums. As in the case of all other industries, this one was initiated by hand labor alone. The splints of wood were no doubt originally dipped in the igniting composition one by one, but subsequently they were tied up in bundles and dipped en bloc, the workman giving each bundle a twist with his hands so that the end of each splint would be free to move to a certain extent and absorb a little more of the compound than it would if kept quite still. The next advance was to fix the splints in a frame so that each was separated from its neighbor, and this frame, containing about 1,500 matches, would be brought down on a marble slab upon which the composition was spread. The tipped matches, still in their frame, would then be dried in air for a few hours and afterward placed in a heated chamber to complete their dissolution. Manual labor is now almost wholly dispensed with in the manufacture of matches. The employment of yellow phosphorus for the charging of matches made the industry a very unhealthy one, and the workpeople, if not in the best of health, ran the risk of contracting a terrible disease known as necrosis of the jawbone, the vulgar name for which was "phossy jaw." With improvements in manufacture this evil has now been eliminated—Chambers'. YOUTH AND AGE. The Thoughts That Filled the Maiden and the Old Lady.

It Is Confined to Lyrical Effusions of the Utmost Brevity. Japanese poetry is absolutely confined to lyrical effusions of the utmost brevity. The Japanese poem is generally limited to three, four or five lines and seldom exceeds a few dozen. One would look in vain for a poem of the length of Bryant's "Thanatopsis." Japanese literature has never invaded the epic field and knows no metrical form which even remotely resembles an ode, a ballad or a long poetic narrative like "The Ancient Mariner." Also minor metrical arrangements like the rodel, trilet, villanelle, etc., are absent. Of what, then, does Japanese poetry consist? If one discusses its apparent lack of scope and resources with a Japanese, he is sure to point to the "Manyoshiu Kogi" (Collection of Myriad Leaves). True enough, its bulkiness is most alarming, as it extends to 122 volumes. But it FACTS ABOUT ANIMALS Sketch of the industries and Rivers Most Beautiful Part of California The City of Anaheim, vulation of 2500, is situated northern part of Oranges Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from hills, and 148½ feet above it.

It was 9 o'clock in the evening, the night of the great dance in the assembly room. She was almost ready. A few final touches, a little readjustment before the mirror, and then, beautiful and stately, she stepped out into the hall and slowly descended the stairs. She was very young, but her calm, serious face, her ease and perfect poise and other certain little gestures of surety in herself indicated that she was not new at the business of the evening. Somehow there was a touch of sadness to her face. As she passed down the stairs she paused in front of the library, with her party wrap over her arm. In the library, her face half shaded from the evening lamp, sat an old woman. Her silver hair was smoothed back from a forehead that time had not spared from wrinkles. She looked up from the book she was reading with a bright smile. "Off again, my dear?" she said. "Yes, grandma. It's another dance. I had to go. But it's so tiresome." She sat down wearily and gazed for a moment absently into the flickering fire on the hearth. There was a brief silence; then the old woman spoke: "My dear, you do not seem yourself tonight. Of what are you thinking?" Her granddaughter looked up. "Of the past," she said, with a sigh. And then she said as she rose and gathered up her wraps: "But, granny, you seem unusually cheerful tonight. Of what, pray, are you thinking?" And the old woman replied, "My dear, I was thinking of the future."—Twentleth Century Home. The Tomato. The tomato has a curious history. After the revolution of Santo Domingo many French families came from there to Philadelphia, where they introduced their favorite "pomme d'amour." Although introduced from South America as early as 1590 into England, it was looked upon with suspicion and its specific name, lycopersicum, derived from lykos (wolf) and persikon (a peach), referring to the beautiful but deceptive appearance of its fruit, intimates pretty closely the kind of estimation in which it was held. It is now, however, almost universally used. The Extreme of Elegance. "Quite an elegant wedding, wasn't it?" "Elegant!

Does it pay to escape being a rich ignoramus? Does it pay to fit oneself for a superior position? Does it pay to open a little wider the door of a narrow life? Does it pay to learn to make life a glory instead of a grind? Does it pay to add power to the lens of the microscope or telescope? Does it pay to taste the exhilaration of feeling one's powers unfold? Does it pay to know how to take the dry, dreary drudgery out of life? Does it pay a rosebud to open its petals and fling out its beauty to the world? Does it pay to push one's horizon farther out in order to get a wider outlook, a clearer vision? Does it pay to learn how to center thought with power, how to marshal one's mental force effectively? Two Differently Translated Brethren The development of names under the influence of foreign environment is shown in the experience of a lawyer who was endeavoring to locate the heirs of a German family named Kline, who had been over here scarce more than a generation. Two brothers were supposed to be the sole descendants, and he finally found one in San Francisco under the name of Little and the other in Boston known as Mr. Small.-Boston Record. Be Ready For the Emergency. Good luck is desirable even when you have done your best to succeed, but remember that the most favorable circumstances or strokes of fortune are of little value unless you have prepared yourself to take advantage of them. Of what advantage would Hayne's fiery speech have been to Daniel Webster if he had not, with the instinct of genius, long before equipped himself for the assault which he repelled with such crushing energy? Had he not previously weighed and refuted in his own mind the charges of his opponent his reply, instead of ranking among the greatest masterpieces of oratory, might have only revealed his own weakness. Thousands of men had seen the prints of a horse's hoofs in the soil before Faust discovered by them the art of printing. Judging from what they have to show for it, some people's time must be counterfeit money.-Judge.

FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources on the Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. tarms. Acres. Los Angeles 6577 895,063 Orange 2288 599,436 Riverside 2340 427,067 San Bernardino 2350 219,132 San Diego 2098 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles 85,644 Orange 41,549 Riverside 32,947 San Bernardino 37,877 San Diego 16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres. or a fourth more than the belaued county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State.
