In showing that the wealth . ot Great Britain Is Increasing at the rate of $7,000,000 weekly, while that ot the United States Ib Increasing at the rate ot 110,000,000 dally, the Ex press declares that the British must cast oft a worn-out commercial sys tem. A "yegg" or "yeggman" might be defined as a cross between a tramp and a burglar. "Yeggmen" travel about the country always by stealing or begging rides on freight trains, and their operations are generally confined to banks or postofflces in the smaller towns. Eventually "yegg men" are likely to come to grief through the loss ot a leg or an arm, when they take to begging, and be come known as "ex-yeggmen." The maintenance ot order in Ja maica is intrusted to the constabu lary, modeled on the system ot the Royal Irish Constabulary, and "par tially under military organization and discipline." This force consists ot sixteen officers (Inspectors and sub inspectors) under an Inspector-general, 758 sub-officers and men and 812 district constables, distributed throughout the Island. A number of the sub-officers formerly belonged to the Royal Irish Constabulary. The cattle raising districts ot Ja maica are in St. Ann's, Hanover and Westmoreland, and the western part of. St. James. The uplands of Man chester parish are rich in coffee and fruit, and St. Elizabeth parish grows a large quantity ot logwood and oth er dye woods, as well as corn, and furnishes fine pasture for horses. The cultivation of cotton has recently been undertaken In Jamaica. There are now about twenty-two acres un der cultivation, and the exports for 1904-5 reached about 15,000 pounds. MOST MODERN SALT TLANT. Ready For the Table Without Ever Uclng Touched by Human Hands. Thirteen hundred barrels every twenty-four hours of fine salt mined, purified and crystallized, packed ready for the table without the touch of a hand this is the last achievement in salt making, the final round in reduced cost of production, says the Technical World. In the city of Saginaw there has Just been completed and put in opera tion the most modern salt plant in America. The rock salt is mined and brought to the surface in the form of brine, through wells nearly 800 feet deep. This brine is pumped into a tank and filtered and run into set tling tanks. From there it Is drawn off into grainers, where the salt crys tallizes. These grainers are made of solid concrete and are much better than the old wooden tanks. Steam exhaust pipes pass through the grainers, which heat the brine to such a tem perature that crystallization begins. This is a most Interesting action. Watching the steaming surface of the brine, a pellicle of salt forms, which soon breaks and sinks down, to be followed by another, and the crystal ization then proceeds rapidly. It is a fact that the estimated capacity of each grainer, of 100 barrels every twenty-four hours, is being greatly exceeded, and more than 130 barrels are being made. "No such fast salt-making was ever known before," said Salt Maker Mason. "It beats all how the crystals form on the bottom and sides of the grainer. I never saw anything like it, and I havo been making salt and good salt, too for twenty-five years." Washing Gold Out of Alaskan Soil. "I have lived in Alaska for the last eight yearsau am therefore classed as a 'sour dough,' the name g'iven to all old timers in the Territory," said J. G. Eechtol, ot Fairbanks. "To be a sour dough one must have seen the ice come and go and have been frozen in during the long winter season.' The newcomers, or tenderteet, as we say in the States, are designated as 'chechakos,' which is Indloji for greenhorn. At this time of the year the miners are busy build ing the winter dumps on which the water will be turned in the spring when the washing for the precious metal starts up. The dumps are pyramids ot soil from forty to sixty feet high and about seventy-five feet thick at the base. They look a good dt;al like circus tents with poles stuck in the middle, and a row of them makes one think of a big show. The sluice boxes are placed at the bottom of the dumps, ready tor holding the gold which the water frees from to mud." Washington Herald.

King Leopold's denials cf the story that he has accumulated a colossal for- . tune through those rubber farming enterprises which have brought down such a storm of obloquy upon his head, are probably quite Justified. It la true that be has derived great revenue trom his African ventures; but it la equally true that he has spent most of the money thus received, and that little or none of It remains in his colters. It is ridiculous, however, to assert that he has squandered It all in shame ful profligacies, although, of course, his private life, even in his old age, Is very far from being above re proach. Part of the money has gone in unsuccessful, speculations, and the remainder in building operations of such extravagances as to convey the idea that the king, in this respect at least, is slightly unbalanced. Some of tho cleverest men on rec ord have shown signs of a similar lack of mental ballast where, brick and mortar were concerned. Wash ington Post. A Hint for Congressmen. The Saint Regis Indians on the northern boundary of this state have a form of duel which seems to satis fy everybody concerned, including the spectators, yet evades all bloodshed. When two members of the little com munity are at loggerheads all the In diana gather outside the village limits, leaving a clear space in the center of the field. The contestants, with coats off, are brought out, each in the grasp of two strong men, who place and hold them 20 feet apart. At a signal the foes begin to abuse each other. They grow louder and atlll louder as they proceed and apparent ly tax the strength of their holders. They keep this up, spurred by their respective partisans until one drops from exhaustion or his tongue Is swol len beyond further use. Then they shake hands, embrace and become great friends. Tho crowd delights In the duel and it is an exciting sub ject for discussion for days. GVIDES CIIILDREX Experience and a Mother's Love Make Advice Valuable. An Ills, mother writes about feed ing children: "If mothers would use Grape-Nuts more tor their little ones there would be less need for medicines and fewer doctor bills. "It those suffering from Indiges tion and stomach troubles wonld live on Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a short period thoy would exper ience more than they otherwise would believe. "Our children have all learned to know the benefit ot Grape-Nuts as an appetizing, strengthening food. It la every evening, with tew variation!, like this: 'Mama, let'a have toast and Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let's have eggs and Grape-Nuts' never forgetting the latter. "One ot our boys In school and IS years of age repeatedly tells me hi mind Is so much brighter and In every way he feels so much better after having Grape-Nuts as a part If not all his breakfast."
