Almonds come from Morocco and the Mediterranean countries general-ly, although Spain makes a considera-ble contribution. They are gathered at various minor points through the African country and brought by camel to Mogardo, which is the export cen-ter. Here they are weighed and a rec-ord made of the quantity and quality for reference when the settlement is made. They are tested for the per-centage of bitter almonds by an in- - supports. "No one can look a goat Id the eyes and refrain from revtbrant cachlnatlons. Those eyes are so Bert- - ous so cynical they blend profound wisdom with profound Ignorance, and the mixture Is utterly ridiculous. Tod never know whether a goat is laugh-ing at you or gaping In bewildered awe. Perhaps this mystery Is part of the enchantment the goat exercises over children. But the whiskers appear to be the better explanation. GOAT BELOVED BY CHILDREN Writer Endeavors to Explain Rea-sons for Animal's Popularity, and May Have Hit It What Is there about the goat that fascinates children! The animal li not particularly intelligent, performs no tricks, admits of no close compan-ionship and yet neither dog nor cat nor monkey, nor donkey, nor feathered fowl nor finned fish can compete with It for popularity among the very young. The goat gives milk, but this is scarcely a consideration to the Juve-nile mind; and, besides the blllygoat Is notoriously preferred to the nanny-goa-t The answer appears to lurk in the whiskers.

Near the town of Zunl, In New Mex-ico, there Is a stone shrine, erected on the plain, which In the Zunl con-ception, marks the center of the world, for the unreconstructed Zunl believes, naturally enough, that the earth is flat .Hither In the days of long ago a guardian divinity of the Zunls brought them as to the safest place in the world the farthest from the edge preceding them In the form of a water strlder.

If we compute the average cost at $1,000 each, we have the stupendous total of $12,000,-00- 0, which ' collosal sum has been withdrawn from every other interest in the country, and invested in this one single industry. Our savings banks report deposits were nearly in excess of those of any other year,' with an in-crease of about 600,000 new de-positors. We spent the hitherto un-heard of sums of $3,5000,000,-00-0, for tobacco, $2,000,000,-00- 0 for cosmetics, $4,000,000,-00- 0 for amusements and how much for booze God only knows.. With these authentic statis-tics facing us, which has been supplied by the U. S. Govern-ment, this can't be such a bad country after all, despite the pessimists. In fact, we are in-clined to believe that "Uncle Joe" Cannon knew what he was talking about when on one oc-casion of his recent retirement from publici life he said "This country is a hell of a success."

During his sojourn he caused the earth to yield ten-fol- d productions, without the necessity of human labor. Every-wher- e corn, fruit and flowers delight-ed the eye; the cotton-plan- t pro-duced Its woof already dyed by na-ture with various hues, aromatic odors pervaded the air, and on all sides resounded the melodious notes of singing birds. Quetzaleoatl embarked In his boat of rattle skins, on the Qulf of Mex-ico, and as he was seen to steer to the eastward, his arrival was conse-quently looked for from that quar-ter. When the Spaniards arrived from the east, as they resembled the god in the color of their skin, they were at first generally supposed to be the messengers from, or descend-ants of, the god of the air. Odd Experience. One evening while entertaining com-Van- y, our automobile was parked in front of the house, during which time our blanket was taken from the car. We were much grieved at the loss and you may imagine our surprise when, a few days later, the blanket was found on our front porch, neatly folded, with a note attached : "Dear folks," It read, "I took your blanket from the car one evening because It was very cold and I was forced to sleep out in the open. I am an honest man and do not steal, and trust you win pardon me under the circumstances."; Chicago Journal. A Native. In Homer's time and long thereafter cities had a habit of claiming that Il-lustrious persons were born in them. Possibly It la a more modern tendency for persons to claim that they were born, in Illustrious localities. Two youths were reading the society news in the dally paper, wherein Southamp-ton, L. I., figured prominently. One of them observed casually that he had been born In Southampton. The other looked up quickly, "I bet it was out of season," said he.
