The World’s Clove Caddies.

TwS little islands furnish four-fifths of the doves consumed by the world. The islands are Zanzibar and Pemba, and a little while ago Arabs found it very profitable to bring slaves from the African lake region to the ooast and smuggle them in the night over to Pemba to work on the clove plantations. These farms were very remunerative once, but the market has been overstocked and the price has fallen so low that the cloveraisers hare deoided to diversify their crops.—[New Orleans Picayune.
