CLOVE CULTIVATION.
■Mplbar Furnishes the larger Fart ef
the Supply ot the Aromatlo Spice.
Zanzibar and the neighboring Island
of Pemba famish the world with tho
balk of tho supply, about 18.000,000
pounds a year. Consul Pratt, In a re
port just received at tho state depart
ment, says the clove tree was first intro
duced into Zanzibar hy Sultan Seycd
Said bin Sultan about the year 1880,
since which time its cultivation has
gradually extended, until it is now tho
chief industry of the Islands.
The indnstry received a check in 1878,

Another careful examination of the

“It may be raining and It may not. You

“Um—likely enough. Likely enough. It
may appear that way to some folk*. But

"May appear that wayf Why, good

“All I know Is that there’s nothing certain

"I certainly do.”
“Just so. 1 was certain of it yesterday

peculiarity of tho clove tree Is that every
part Is aromatic, hut the greatest
strength is found In tho bud, which Is
tho “clovo” of commerce. The finest
quality of cloves aro dark brown In color,
with full, perfect heads, free from moist
ure.
In tho cultivation of tho clovo the first
thing to be dono Is the starting of the
shoot. Tho seeds aro placed in long
trenches and are well watered until after
sprouting. In tho courso of forty days
the shoots appear abovo ground. They
aro carefully watered and looked after
for tho spaco of two years, when they
should ho about three feet in height.
They ore then transplanted, being set
about thirty feet apart, and ore kept
watered till they become well rooted.
From this time on the young trees re
quire only ordinary care, though tho best
results are obtained when tho ground
about tho trees is well watchod over and
kept freo from weeds.
The growth of the tree Is very slow,
and five or cix years aro required for it
to come into bearing, at which time it is
about tho size of an ordinary pear tree,
and is usually very shapely. Xt is a pretty
sight to see a youugplantai’ on just com
ing into bearing.

4 Canadian Criticism of the Unltad States.
The triumph of democracy as repro-
rosentod In tho republio Is not yet com
plete; in fact, little more has yet been
done than to fix attention upon the more
serlons problems of democracy. You—
if I may presume an American audience
—have the stagnant sonth to direct into
channels of industry and prosperity.
Yon havo the labor giant awaking fit
fully from his dragged slumber and
mattering socialism. He will be the
, ■ life of the nation when onco awake, but
The leaves, of van. us it will tax tho keenest faculties of your
shades of green tinged with rod, serve to
set off tho clusters of doll red clovo buds.
As soon as the buds are fully formed and
assume this reddish color the harvesting
commences, and is proeoented for folly
six months at intervals, slnoe tho bads
do not form simultaneously, but at odd
times throughout the period. Tho limbs
of tho trees being very brlttlo a peculiar
four sldod ladder is brought Into requisi
tion and the harvesting proceeds apace.
As fsst os collected tho bnds aro spread
out in the sun until they assume a brown
ish color, when they aro pnt in the store
honso and aro ready for market. A 10-
yeor-old plantation Bhonld produce an
average of twenty pounds of cloves to a
treo. Trees of 20 yoars frequently pro
duce upward of ono hundred pounds
each, worth ton cents a pound. Tho sul
tan derives no inconsiderable portion of
his revenue from this sonreo, tho duty
levied placing to tho sultan’s credit for
tho presont year nearly if not quite
1400,000.
Besides tho clove bnds the stems ore
also gathered, and form an article or
commerce commanding abont one-fifth
the prico of cloves and having abont the
same percentage of strength. To this
circumstance is due the fact that the
ground clove can frequently be purchas
ed in the homo market at a lower price
than whole cloves. For the past fifteen
years the cultivation of cloves has been
tho chief occupation of the Arab plant
ers and his always netted good returns.
It seems probablo that it will continue
to be a profitable crop, since tho con
sumption of the article appears to keep
pace with the inevitable increase of pro
duction.—St Louis Globe-Democrat

The Kaiser's Love of Adventure.
In one particular at least the young
emperor of Germany seeks to emulate
the example of the famous Caliph of
Bagdad. He makes a practice of prowl
ing around incognito, as if he were de
termined to find out hy means of his
own eyes and ears the will and wants of
his people. Tho military people do not
fancy this sort of thing, for thsy are (in
Germany, of all countries) severe stick
lers st etiquette, and they regard H as
Shockingly infra dig. that their sovereign
should snoop oronnd barracks In the
darkness of night in the disguise some
times of a patrolman and sometimes of
an officer. Another practice of Will
iam's is to call informally upon his ac
quaintances in Berlin. At any hour of
tho day ot evening ha is likely to make
bis appearance In ths house of a Mend,
and, oi ! course, being the kaiser, ha has
to be made welcome. Herbert Bismarck
wis entertaining a party of Mends in
his bachelor quarters when, all of a rad-
den, the emperor walked in. A seat
was put for Ms majesty at the table, and
for on hour or so the emperor chatted
gaylv with tho guests, then, apologizing
graciously for his intrusion, the kaiser
bade tho company good evening and
went his way.—Eugene Field In Chicago
