An Abbreviation
A colonel of a British regiment In
South Africa whowas repairing a rail
road after one of General Dc Wets
many breakages discovered a fine emp
ty house which he proceeded to occu
py as headquarters
When the news of the colonels com
fortable quarters reached Blocmfon
tein he received a telegram which
read
G T M wants house
The colonel was unable to make out
what G T M meant and inquired
of officers who translated It general
traffic manager
All right said the colonel If he
can use hieroglyphics so can I
So he wired back
G T M can G T H
Two days later he received a dis
patch from Bloemfontein ordering him
to attend a board of inquiry On ap
pearing in due course he was asked
what he meant by sending such an in
sulting message to a superior officer
Insulting1 repeated the colonel in
nocently It was nothing of the kind
But what do you mean demanded
his superior by telling me I can G
T H
It was simply an abbreviation re
plied the colonel G T M general
traffic manager can G T II get the

The Tobacco Tante
Even the best judges of tobacco
cant always be depended on remark
ed a dealer to a reporter recently
Sometimes their taste goes back on
them so to speak and remains blunt
ed for a week at a stretch One of my
customers for instance is a well to do
merchant who Is very particular about
his cigars and ono of the few real con
noisseurs in town When he Is in
good form he can tell more about to
bacco on a superficial examination
than anybody I know with the single
exception of a dealer who has a big
reputation as an expert About a
month ago this gentleman began to
complain about a favorite brand of
very high class cigars I knew the
goods were all right and advised him
to buy something else for awhile He
finally began smoking a pipe and used
a cheap cut plug that he declared was
the best smoke he ever tried One
day all of a sudden his taste return
ed and he went back to the cigars
At present the bare smell of cut plug
will make him sick Strange isnt it
They tell me that the professional sam
plers of tobacco take a week off every
few months and never look at the
weed until they return to duty In
that way they keep in condition

This elegant and delicate starch is
the product of a plant that is culti
vated very extensively in the Malay
peninsula where its culture is almost
entirely in the hands of the Chinese
The tubers of the plant Manihot util
lsima which weigh on an average
from 10 to 23 pounds are first scraped
and then carefully washed after which
they are reduced to a pulp by being
passed between rollers This pulp is
carefully washed and shaken up with
abundance of water until the felcula
separates and passes through a very
fine sieve into a tub placed beneath
The flour so obtained is repeatedly
washed and then placed on mats and
bleached by exposure to the sun and
air It is finally converted into the
pearl tapioca of commerce by being
placed in a crude shaped frame cov
ered with canvas It is slightly moist
ened and subjected to a rotary motion
by which means it is granulated It is
next dried in the sun and finally over
the fire in an iron pan greased with
vegetable tallow and is then ready for
the market

That Tired Feeling
When you hear a man complaining
of that tired feeling you may be sure
that he spends more of his day talking
and lounging than working said a
well known physician A truly hard
worker never suffers from this disease
for such it is It arises from not
working off by either mental or man
ual exercise or work the superfluous
energy given to every man This en
ergy if left turns itself so to speak to
forming poisoning juices which sap the
vitality Just as a thoroughly trained
athlete waits with certainty his sec
ond wind so every really hard work
ing business man knows that he does
his best work after he has shaken off
that tired feeling In fact you will
find that a really hard worker never
complains of it after he has passed his
25th or 27th year because he has then
trained this energy to do its proper
work that is keep his mind and body

wild caoutchouc trees found in the re

were exported in 1896 and 2812 kilos
in 1897 The most serious efforts in
this line have been made however
during the past two years in Porto
Novo and Ouidah where small rubber
