The Discovery of Urn Valuable Prop erties Antedates Recorded History. Something of Itm U e aad tieVay InWhich It I * Produced. Cinnamon is in itself unquestionably the most delicious of all spices , being sugary as well as aromatic and pun gent. Many thousands of pounds are consumed annually In every civilized country , and it is also highly appreci ated by even semicivilized and bar barous nations where culinary art and medicine have as yet made little prog ress. Its uses in sweet cookery are innu merable. There are very few fruits which are not improved in preserves , pickles and pastries by the addition of more or less of this delicate bark. It is an essential flavoring in all spice cakes and in many varieties of pies and pud dings. In chocolate , confectionery , candies , cordials and liqueurs cinnamon contributes an incomparable flavor. Its medicinal value is well known as an antispnsmodic and carminative and tonic. Its use is recommended as a preventive and remedy for cholera , and in seasons when stomach troubles prevail cinnamon drops are recomt mended as the most wholesome form of candy for children. The discovery of the valuable prop erties of cinnamon antedates recorded history , as it is mentioned in the Bible , in the book of Exodus , as one of the Ingredients of the sacred oil with which the priests were anointed. So highly was the sweet bark esteemed by the ancients that even a small piece was considered n lit gift for a king. It is alwaysmentioned as an especially choice substance by Greek writers pre vious to the Christian era. It Is said thnt the Arab traders , who first brought it to Egypt and western Asia , surrounded its history aud production with special tales of mystery and magic. The cimmamon tree is a member or the Inure ! family , which in the tropics is represented by a large number of aromatic and medicinal trees and shrubs. There are several closely allied cin namon trees , but the finest bark is pro cured from -species native to the is land of Ceylon , distinguished by bota nists as Cittuamonimn xeylunicum. In a state of nature this grows to be a tree from twenty to thirty feet in height , with rather large , oval , entire margined leaves nnd yellowish flowers succeeded by small , brown drupes re ? sembling acorns in shape. The grnylrfi brown bark is internally of an orange color , which changes upon drying to the characteristic brown which is the recognized name of a particular shado. Almost every part of the tree yields some choice substance and is especial ly rich in oil. The roots yield camphor and the lonvcs an oil resembling the oil of cloves and often substituted for it. while from the fruit a substance called cinnamon suet is manufactured , which is highly fragrant and from which in former times candles for the exclusive use of tlie king were made. In the latter part of the eighteenth century , while England was for a time in possession of the spice islands , cin namon plants were among the choice products that were imported into vari ous other tropical regions , including the West Indies , where in Cuba and several other islands it has become a considerable article of commerce. Un der cultivation It is not allowed to grow into n tree , as the richest bark is taken from shoots of from two to four years' growth. The young tree is , therefore , cut and shoots from the root are encouraged to grow. The majority of these are cut when about ten feet in height and the bark is detached In ten or twelve inch lengths. After lying in bundles for a few days the bark is scraped by hand , both outside and in. until reduced to a thin sheet. These sheets are then made up Into compos ite "quills" by placing the narrower nnd shorter pieces inside and rolling .tfghtly , forming firmrods , which after Author drying are made into bundles roughing about eighty pounds and wra PP'd for shipping. Grocers divide. assoi t and very neatly combine por tions c tf these quills Into small packets for the convenience of their customers. The c U of cinnamon is made by Tfndlng , Jie coarser pieces of the bark and soaking them for two or throe days in sc water , followed by the process of Oistilling. Two oils , one heavier and t lie other lighter than wa ter , are the product , both possessing similar properties. The color varies from cherry red to pale yellow , the latter being pritferrod by most pur chasers. Tho work of distilling is light , and an oil equal to the best Ceylonese is now produced iir Trinidad and various other localities iw Cuba and other West India islands. As cinnamon cowmands : a good price and its uses are continually multiply * inducement for ex ing , there is even tending the area of its cultivation , both in the eastern and western hemi- spheres.-St. Louis Republic. A Crisi * Met Half AVny. There were strict orders in the Phil ippines regarding looting , and one day a lieutenant's suspicions were aroused by a private whom he "saw peering ea gerly under the .piazza of a house on the'outskirts of Manila , writes Dixie "Wolcott in Harper's Magazine. f "What are you doing there ? " te de- 7iTamU d in his gruffest tones. "Why , sir. " said the soldier , saluting. Tm only trying to catch a chicken which Tve Just bought. " Lieutenant K. stooped and caught wight of a fine pair of fowls. "There are two chickens under there. " he exclaimed excitedly. " 1 other one. Catch 'em both , " A FEAST THAT FAILED. The Story of a Raccoon That Was Not Served For Breakfast. It is within the memory of many that the custom of schoolteach ers "boarding around" was the usual thing in country districts. Although a custom which teachers seldom liked , it is doubtful if many of them had as hard a time as a young schoolmaster who described his experience in the New England Galaxy for 1817. The article was written by Leonard Ap- thorp , then an undergraduate of Bow- doin college. The young schoolmaster was "to receive $ lo n month and his board. From the first day I perceived that I was at board on speculation and at the mercy of a close calculation , he writes. One day the whole dinner con sisted of a single dumpling , which they called a pudding , andfive sau sages , which in cooking shrunk to the size of pipcstems. There were five of us at table. A few days afterward , on my return from school , my eyes were delighted by the sight of an animal I had never seen before. It was a raccoon , which the young man , Jonathan , had killed and brought home in triumph. When skinned , he seemed to be one entire mass of fat and of a most delicate whiteness. I was overjoyed and went to bed early to dream of delicious steaks which the morrow would bring. Long before daylight I heard the family stirring , and the alacrity of quick footsteps and the repeated open ing and shutting of doors all gave as surance of the coming holiday. I was soon ready for breakfast , and when seated at table I observed that the place of Jonathan was vacant "Where is Jonathan ? " I asked. "Gone to market , " said they. "Market ! What market , pray ? I did not know there was any market In these parts. " "Oh. yes. " they said , "he Is gone to . about thirty miles to the south ward of us. " "And what has called him up KO early to go to market ? " "Ho Is gone. " said they , "to sell hla raccoon. " PICKINGS FROM FICTION. The fool's ear was made for the ' ' "Indian knave's tongue.

" A woman is like unto a volcano , which , even when inactive , is palpitat ing to spit forth its fire and which , when it does vent its fury , bursts the bounds of its late enforced suppres sion. "The Wooing of Wistaria. " Girls Help Walter * to Client. Among hotel employees sex does not appear to make any difference so far as honesty is concerned , says the Brooklyn Eagle. Certain young women who act : : s checkers in hotels work with certain waiters. Whenever one of the girls obtains a position the men soon follow her. and the hotel proprie tor is victimized accordingly. The wait er who is in league with the dieeker makes a small private mnrk on the check with which hedesires to cheat. She sees it. nnd Instead of stamping the priees ngni'.ist the articles ordered she puts her finder * over the figures on the die so that a slight blotch is all thnt Is re < vnl"il in the place for figures. The waiter does the rest. She keeps her necount against her confederates , and they settle up later on the outside. Toneli TTmt Holds Memory. Once upon a time there wns n mnn who was n chronic borrower of money , and he wns lievef knoWii to slight nn actinnintnnce through neglect. He was extremely well known by ft law circle which ho .

You hi ve a deposit of nervous energy placed to your account In the bank of yourbody. . It may be large , in which happy case you arc a millionaire In trength and accomplishing power , ° It may be so Microscopic as to need careful husbanding and little eip ndl- ture to keep it from dwindling out al- together. But many millionaires become pau pers , and some "dime savings" swell Into millions. It depends upon th way the capital is managed. You may think you have so much that there Is no need to be economical. You get up in the morning and feel the blood bounding through your veins like moun- tain cataracts , and you think you can turn the mill wheels of the world. You work day and night or you piny day and night , which Is sometimes more exhausting , nnd go at the limit of your speed all the time. You arc over drawing your bank account of energy. and that needlessly , for you probably have enough lo last n long and useful lifetime. It pays to sit down and sharp- en your tools , nnd It adds cent per cent to your body bank deposit. Another with not half your brains or bustle will pet ahead of you in the end , for he makes every act. every thought , go straight to the mark. He wastes no effort. Everything he does means something. It helps toward some given end. 1'ou spend n great deal of ammunition on your quarry because you are overanxious. He keeps cool , takes steady aim and wings his bird. You get wrinkles and frost tipped temples and become a bankrupt in vi- tality when you should be in your prime. You have overdrawn the best nnd most valuable bank account the Lord ever placed on the books of llfe- the ability "to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. " A MONTE CARLO LEGEND. The Story the Cronplcr * Tell of the Wandering Jew. All gamblers arc superstitious , nnd some of their pet superstitions are now go old as to have acquired the respec- tability of venerable traditions. The croupiers of Monte Carlo have an in teresting set of traditional supersti tions of their own , most of which are | entirely unknown to the many Ihouj j sands of visitors who toy with the "tiger" In thnt gilded court of chance. The most striking of these Is the story of the Wandering Jew , which the croupiers believe as fervently as they do that the bank will down any "sys tem" thnt ever was invented. There Is one day , nnd one day only. In the year on which the rooms of the casino at Monte Carlo are closed thnt Is on Good Friday. When the rooms are opened on the following day. they say. the first person to enter the "Grand Nouvellc Sulle de Jeur * ' is an old man of venerable appearance. He wastes no time : but , walking straight to one of the tables , he places with the trem bling fingers of extreme old age a piece of money upon a certain number. The wheel Is turned , the croupier's na sal cry falls upon the car. announcing that the number selected by the old man has won. With a bitterly savage exclamation the aged man seizes his winnings , throws them about him and hurries from the room to disappear , lio one knows where. He Is the Wandering Jew , nnd until ho can lose a bet at Monte Carlo he must continue his wanderings. Get on the "blind side" of any of the old crou piers of Monte Carlo , and they will tr-11 you this leccnd. Have they sr-on him ? Of course they have and are fully per suaded that the aged and mysterious stranger is none other than the man condemned to perpetual earthly wan derings nearly 2.000 years ago. An Obstacle to Piety. A story told by a western congress man Is ftbout two brothers , Ed nnd Jim , who dealt in wool nt their home In Iowa. Jim went to a revival moot- lug ( unthinkingly , the congressman says ) nnd "got religion. " In his first burst of enthusiasm he told his brother of how much better he felt since his conversion and urged Ed to come into the fold. The latter pondered gravely for a time and then said : "Ain't any doubt but what religion's a good thing , and I'm glad you've got it. Jim. but I gUess you bettor let mo alone just now. " he continued reficrtively. "You see , Jim , one of us has got to weigh the wool. " Chane That Frown. Learn to laugh. A good laugh is bet ter than medicine. Learn how to tell n story.

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP. A German Hotel Keeper' * Opinion * on Hatheaded Feaple * . "I think that the Americans are alto gether too quick to pick a qurfrrel. " snid n. German hotel keeper in Uarleni who had just had n petty tussle in put ting out nil unwelcome customer. "They are not to be compared with the French , " said nn American lawyer who happened to drop In. "Why , you know nbout those French apprentice * , how they arc nlways ready to fight nnd often lose their lives over a few fords. ' ' "I've heard about these apprentice * , " snid the Gcnnn""We have them In our country. They ronm around thft country. , But what "of that ? " "Yes , " ' was the answer. "A party of : them , with n lender nnd representing some craft , will , for instance , meet an other pnrty of apprentices. They are organized into different societies , each Intensely Jealous of the other , and if two such bands are different societies there is a fight in nn instant. First the leaders come to blows , nnd then the melee becomes general. They flght with fists nnd sticks until the road is * littered with the wounded and some times the dead. " The German , not to be outdone by the French , said before he had thought twice : "That's nothing. Why , our stu dents in the universities have fight ? . They belong to different societies and fight with sabers. Because of some lit tle-insult often one will hnve his head fairly cut open. " "And yet you complain about the Amer'-ans' " 'said the lawyer as he laughed to see how the German had stepped into his own trap. New York Tribune , A Tr e Friend. It takes a great soul to be a true friend a large , catholic , steadfast and loving spirit. One must forgive much , forget much , forbear much. It coats t i be a friend or to have a friend. There is nothing else in life except mother hood that costs so much. It not only costs time , affection , strength , patience , love sometimes a man must even lay down his life for'his friends. There is no true friendship without self abnega * lion , self sacrifice. Bflrn IVltfc Them.
