In Johore do tea crop was picked until five years old, but this was doe to difficulties in starting a new indus try in a foreign country.

Coolies in these gardens receive 18 cents in Mexican silver per diem for every day they work (or, at pres ent exchange, say 12 cents in Ameri can money). The whole garden has to be dug over three times a year, and with manure once in three year is capable of producing an all round average of 500 pounds per acre. Every morning, witb the exception of Friday (the Mohammedan Sun day), men. women and children are called out at daybreak by a horn to pluck the young leaves. At 11 a. m. the horn is again the signal for theii return to the factory to have theii morning pi tickings weighed in by the manager. Plnckers are paid at a fixed rate per pound of green leaf. Each basket of leaf as it is handed in is weighed by the mandore. the weight of the basket deducted, and a ticket for the balance handed over. At I p. in. the horn calls them out again, and a trim Oar weighing operation takes place at 5 p.m., excepting only that the morning tickets are called in and the total pluckings for tbe day put against the name of each plucker in the check roll. With a good flush of leaf on the bushes a smart plucker can pi: k 00 pounds of leaf in a day. Washing ton Star. . . " A "Soft Sac?' "When I was living in Birming ham. Ala., in 186?, said Richard P.

"Of course there were accidents, and the accidents oftentimes brought death. J got on tbe coroners jury every case, and when 1 served my fees were $3.50. Sometimes there were as many as 20 cases a day and never less than two; au you see that I lived on the sunny side of Easy street while the Kjap" lasted. But it didn't take long for the hangers on around the courthouse to get envious, and when they began to howl the coroner had to change his jury and that let me out.

What is txepang i Trepan g. or tripang, is a collective name by which a considerable num ber of species of most curious sea animals are designated ; they are also known as sea rollers, sea cucumbers, in French as cornichons de mer, and scientifically as bolothurians. They are among the most sluagisb of ani mals. Only the fixed or stationary1 animals are slower than the hold thurians. They lie like gray, brown or black leather pities or cylinders on the bottom of the sea. One might watch them half a day long, if he had nothing better to do. and hardly see them change their position, and they rarely move more than a foot or two in several hours. Their class relatives, the other spiny skinned animals or ec-liinoderras, are much more active. William Mar shall in Popular Scieuee Monthly. Tb Kvf 1 or Cmt Wealth.
