ANSLEY, THE FANCY GROCER 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, "Uro—aeeo,” replied the lank party^fter taking a leisurely surrey of the sky. -If the wind keeps blowing in this direc tion tor twenty-four hours longer there will be rain,” ventured the first speaker. “Urn—I’m net so sure about that.” said the other cautiously. "The wind, at least, Is dead south now. 1 “Um- perhaps.” "It certainly Isn’t north.” The lean individual pursed up hts Ups as It about to whistle, looked at the sky again, shook his head slowly and said: “Pm not so blamed certain it isn’t. “At any rate, sir, It lan’t raining now. is itf Heyt” Another careful examination of the firmament and the cautloua remark: “It may be raining and It may not. You can’t alwaya tell about these things.’ 1 “Great Jehoshnphatl Can’t you aee there lan’t a cloud In the skyf” “Um—likely enough. Likely enough. It may appear that way to some folk*. But lt’a beat not to be too sure.” "May appear that wayf Why, good gracious, monl Haven’t you got any eyes?" "Maybe I have and maybe 1 haven’t," retorted the attenuated Individual, passing his hand over bis face as If to And out. “All I know Is that there’s nothing certain In this world. You think there la a fair ground out at the end of this street, per haps.” "I certainly do.” “Just so. 1 was certain of it yesterday myself. I was certain then was a man out then with two or three walnut shells he was moving about on the head of a bar rel. I was certain I could tell which shell the little black ball was under. I was just as certain of It as you an that It Isn’t rain ing. It cost me every darned cent I had to tho dato of tho great hurricane.

A | again sa Jong as I live.” 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. took a plug 6f tobacco from his pock et, looked at it as if he were not sure whether It was tobacco or not, put it back into his pocket, sighed a long, heavy, dismal sigh and looked straight through the other man Into the far off depths of space.—Chi cago Tribune.

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 -Ulde Tommy Sometimes.

Carman in Forum. 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.
