One author says: “Uneasy lies the head that wears no crown in fly time.” We don't doubt this for one minute.

Nowadays the captain is the host of the ship. He is no longer the gruff, rough seatiog in a pea jacket of year* gone by. He must observe some of the social amenities; he must talk to the passengers now and then when th* weather is hue; he must take his seat at table when lie may; lie must be 8 kind of diplomat also and possess wit and tact and a patience sublime; h< must see that no jealousies develoj among the passengers. I have lieei told of the very obliging captain who to please the lady who asked to lx shown the equator while the ship was in southern seas, pasted a hair acres: the large end of a spyglass and told th« lady to look. And the lady through th* glass declared she could see the equa tor "as plainly as A I!

A Korean Prison. The gate was wide open, and th* courtyard was full of prisoners, and th* surrounding buildings were old and tottering.

Now they will get out soon.” But ns I looked at them I saw they did not run because they could not The life was beaten out of them. Th* keepers brought the heavy red core with a brass hook al the end am! trussed up a man with It to show how the beat mg was done and then brought us the stiff rods with which victim: were pounded over the shins and thighs until the beaten spots were aim ply masses of festering rottenness There was a room, black, font, leprous in which the men were fastened In th* stocks.

There Is very little difference between a pound and a guinea; only a shilling, and yet the keen business tnnn Insists that the shilling shall be considered. After Thackeray’s series of lectures on the four Georges had been delivered in London, Wlllert Beale «ays that he called upon the novelist In Onslow square with a check for £250. “What's Fhla. W. B.?” cried Thackeray, rending the check. "Pounds? Our agreement says guineas, and guineas It must be.” You are aware that the lectures so far have Involved very heavy losses," said Beale nistlogetlcnlly. "That’s not tuy affair," said Thackeray. “I don’t know what occult means you have to protect yourself from loss. Guineas, W. Rd Guineas i it must lie, and nothing else. I must have the shillings.” | And the shillings were sent him im- , mediately.

Chocolate. Id South America the retail price for the better grades of chocolate average* aliout #1 a pound, while In Italy. France. England and in the Unit**! States the better grades sell nt tt much lower price. In America the ordinary chocolate of trade sells for a I tout onethird of the price that is charged for where it is produced. The cause of thia, the producers say, 1* that the original product is adulterated greatly before reaching Its final market, a cheaper article than the cocoa bean constituting the large proportion of per cent of the chocolates of commerce. The cocoa bean from which chocolate Is manufactured Is produced in its Anest form In Venezuela, though various other parts of Central aud South An>* r lea grow and export large quantitiesTwo crops of the bean are gutherei each year, aud the manuftic'ti r e >ou sists simply in grinding up the beau* into a meal and then adding sugar an arrowroot, with the necessary tin'"" usually vanilla or cinnamon.
