Beans.

The ordinary white beafi, such as we use for baking, grows on a bush about two feet high m a pod somewhat simi lar to a pea pod. The bean is at first soft and of a greenish tinge or greenißh white, but it ripens white and hard m the pod, as we see it m the stores. When it is m just the right condition, 1 the bushes are pulled up, or they are 1 sometimes out down with a machine something like a mowing machine, and piled up m the field to dry. Then the bushes are carted to the barns and thrashed, and the beans are gathered up and fanned and screened. They are sep arated into sizes by screening and branded aooordingly. There are marrow, medium and pea, or email, beans. In screening beans the smaller marrow beans from the ends of the pods might be branded mediums and the smaller mediums might be branded peas, but the geniune beans of these names are of as distinot varieties as, for instance, the several varieties of peas are. Most of the beans raised m this country are sent to market m barrels. The foreign beans are imported m baga —New York Sun.

Ships and Railways.

It ia estimated by Mr. Mulhall In a recent article m The Contemporary Re view that the shipping of all nations is of the approximate value of $1,100,000, - 000, while the 110,000 locomotives at work represent a value of $1,000,000, ---000. The railways give employment to 8,894,000 people, while shipping em ploys only 705,000. The life of a loco motive is 15 years. It willjun 270,000 miles, carry 600,000 tons, or 1,000,000 passengers, and earn $800,000. Its first cost is $10,000, and its general vrw age is 800 horsepower. The average lif« of a ship and its earning oapacity, com* pared with its cost, is not given and ia perhaps sot yet computed, but it is not likely to equal or approach that of the locomotive, which may fairly rank at the most potent instrument of civiliza tion ever devised by man.

Women and Paradise.

(Sod has promised to believers, meat and women, gardens beneath which riv ers flow, to dwell therein forever, and goodly places m the garden of Eden. Verily, men resigned and women re signed, and believing men and believ ing women* and devout men and de vout women, and truthful men and truthful women, and patient men and patient women, and humble men and humble women, and almsgiving men and almsgiving women, and fasting men and fasting women, and men who remember, God much and women who remember', him, God has prepared lor such lor-! giveaess and a mighty hira , Entei y» into jpwa^iMb W and you* wftii \P~

middle compartment, hoping to hear what your partner might say to yon. I failed in this, as the boxes are too well made to permit sound to pass from one to the other, but imagine my gratifica tion to see Mr. Mitohel himself go into the box." I'And why?" asked Mr. Mitohel. "Why, as soon as I saw yon'l com prehended the whole soheme. It was yon who had concocted the little diver sion to test my ability, Thus at last I understood the reason for the pretended loss of identity. With the knowledge that yon were in it, I was more than, ever determined to get at the faots, Knowing that you were out, I hastened to your house, hoping for a chat with little Miss Rose as the most likely member of your family to get informa tion from." l "Oh, fie, Mr. Barnes!" said Mr. ! Mitohel, "to play upon the innocenoe of childhood. I am ashamed of youl" "All's fair, etc. Well, I succeeded. I found Mr. Goldie's bioyole in your hall* way. I took the number and name and hurried to the agency, where I readily' discovered that wheel—No, 6086—is ridden by G. J. Mortimer, one of their regular racing team. I also learned that Mortimer's private name is Mortimer _f. Goldie. I was much pleased at this,, be* oause it showed how good my reasoning bad been about the alias, for yon oh- . serve that the racing name is merely a transposition of the family name, The watoh, of course, is a prize, and the in scription would have proved that yon were imposing upon me, Mr. Goldie, had you permitted me to see it." "Of course. That was why I put iT back in my pocket. ,r "I said just now," said Mr. Barnes, "that without the stolen handkerchief I would have done better. Having it, when I looied over the L. A. W. list, I went through the 'GV only. With out it I should have looked through the i 'G,' 'J's" and 'M's, * not knowing how the letters may have been transposed. In that oase I should have found 'G. J. Mortimer,' and the initials would have proved that I was on the right track." "You have done well, Mr. Barnes,*' said Mr. Mitohel. "I asked Goldie to play the part of a nameless man for a few days, to have some fun with yon. But you have had the fun with us, it seems, though I am conceited enough to say that had it been possible for me to play the principal part you would not have pierced my identity so soon. *' "Oh, I don't know, "said Mr.Barnes. "We are both of us a little egotistical, I fear." "Undoubtedly. Still, if I ever set an ether trap for you, I will assign myself the chief role." "Nothing would please me better," said Mr. Barnes. "But, gentlemen, as you have lost in this little game, it seems to me that some one owes me a dinner at least." "I'll stand the expense, with pleas ure," said Mr. Mitchel. "Not at all," interrupted Mr. Goldie. "It was through my blundering that we lost, and I'll pay the piper." "Settle it between you,"oried Mr. Barnes. "But let us walk on. lam getting hungry." Whereupon they adjourned to Delxnao* ico'a THE END.

Had no idea Vitadatio could do for her what it has done. i •' 10th April, 1899. " For a number of years I was troubled with indigestion, and what those of our ccx know as general weaknesß m various form* and ways, accompanied by the usual gloomj i forebodings and, of course, us I find now, unnecessary cares of mind, producing all kinds if discouraging untici fat ione, m which ' the common impression would constantly intrude itself that lifs was not the fl>wery i bed of eaae that one used to read and sing about m one's childhood's hours, My food did not nourish the body, and I parried about with me, much to my discomfort, an . emaciated form, and the common remark of my friends was, ' How ill you always look.' Although I would not admit the truth of their opinion, yet my own conscious feeling assured me.of the truth of their observation, There were many other ailments which kept m chtck my former vitality and buoyancy of spirits, which need only be hiDted at iv> a note such as this. In this state of general <i«bilhy 1 was advised to take a course of Webber's Vitadatio. I took it regularly for about six weeks, and took, m all, the contents of six large bottles. These were from the first a great source of help and | relief, and I began to put on flesh at the rate, I of ]£!b per week, and I now enjoy the vary | best of health. To any of my own tex, especially those who are troubled with en uui, from whatever cause arising, I verily believe a course of Vibadatio will give them beck the blessing of good health, such a> I or joy, and for which I desire to be truly fchatTkfui. VitacUUo shall always have my stroug recommendation,— Yours gratefully, M. Sergeant, Kadfern, Sydney, J>'ew South Wales. Price 5s 6d and 3s 6d per bottle. E. W.
