How Drunkards are Made.
[rrom the New York Herald. j

@Now, you watch those children.
They'll drink half that beer before they
get home, and their mother will scold
me for not giving good pint, and I've
given nearer quart" said the bar
tender Of a downtown saloon yester-
day, referring to two little girls of
and 8, thinly clad, who had come in for
a pint of beer.
The reporter did watch the young
ones. They had scarcely got outside
the saloon door when the one who car
ried the tin pail lifted it to her lips and
took a draught. Then her companion
enjoyed few swallows. A little fur
ther on they entered tenement house
hallway, and both again took sip.
II have lots of such customers said
the bartender when the reporter re-
turned to the saloon to light his cigar.
@Girls and boys and women form half
our trade. We call it family trade. 1t
pays our expenses. Our profits come
from the drinkers at the bar. But I
tell you what-half the children who
come here drink. That's how drunk
ards are made. Their mothers and
fathers send 'em for beer. They see the
old folks tipple and begin to taste the
beer themselves.
Few of the children who come in
here for beer or ale carry full pint
home. Sometimes two or three come
in together, and if you'll watch 'em,
You'll hear one begging the one who
carries the pail for sip. We must
sell it, however, when their parents
send for it. We are bound to do SO.
Business is business. We don't keep q

A Maiden Lady's Heirs.
rEr,n, ,,o c,eve,,rd ,o,,o> ~.

tFrom the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader.l
A conclusion has finally been reached
in the Lucas County common pleas
court in the case of single lady who
died in South Toledo some years since.
She was about tn ree.score years of ago
at the time of her death. She left q
small house and lot, and having no
brothers or sisters living, the property
reverted to the next heirs, who were on
her fathers side. This was the manner
in which the heirship stood, after being
figured with italian fneness: There
were eleven uncles and aunts, ten
cousins, and seven second cousins,
which would make the share of cousins
children one-seventh of one-tenth of
one-eleventh, of one-one hundred and
seventyths OF the whole amount. The
property at sheriff sale brought $500,
from which S121.4O costs had to be
taken, leaving $23S.3O to be divided
among the heirs. This leaves divis-
ion to each of the uncles and aunts or
their descendants of $21.67, to each of
the ten cousins s2.17, and to the seven
children of the third cousin about 80
cents. These heirs are scattered
through Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Virginia, and
California, and one and one-half pages
of legal cap was required to record
them,

Wheat.

The varieties of wheat are almost
numberless, and their characters vary
widely under the influence of cultiva-
ton and climate. There are said to be
1S0 distinct varieties in the Museum of
Cornell University. Isis was supposed
to have introduced wheat into Egypt,
Demeter into Greece, and the Emperor
Of Chin Wong into China about 5000
B. @. In Europe it was cultivated be-
fore the period of history, as samples
have been recovered from the lacus-
trine dwellings of Switzerland. In En-
gland it was probably not cultivated by
the ancient Britons, but the Anglo
Saxons when Bede wrote, early in the
eighth century, sowed their wheat in
the spring, and in the day of Queen
Elizabeth its cultivation was but par
tial. Indeed, wheat was an article of
comparative luxury till nearly the
seventeenth century. In India wheat
seems not to be native, but introduced,
for its Sanscrit name signifies "food of
the barbarian;" yet three varieties are
mentioned in the Bhavaprakosa, one of
which, a large grain, is said to have
come from the West, and another, a
small grained or beardless wheat, is
said to have been indigenous to Middle
India. The first wheat in the New
World was sown by Spaniards on the
Island ofIsabella, in January, M94, and
on March 80 the ears were gathered
The foundation Of the wheat harvest of
Mexico is said to have been three or
sour grains carefully cultivated in 1880,
and preserved by slave of Cortez. The
first crop Of Quito was raised by a
Franciscan monk in front of the con
vent, Garcilasso de la Vega affirms that
in Peru, up to 1857, wheaton bread had
not been sold in Cusco. Wheat was
first sown by Goshnold Cuttyhunk, on
one of the Elizabeth Islands in Buz-
Yards Bay, of Massachusetts,, in 1902,
when he first explored the coast. In
1904 on the Island of st. Croix, near
Calais, Me-, the Sieur de Montz had
some wheat sown which fourished
finely. In 1911 the first wheat appears
to have been sown in Virginia. In 1926
samples of wheat grown in the Dutch
Colony at New Netherlands were shown
in Holland. 1t is probable that wheat
was sown in Plymouth Colony prior to
1929, though we find no record of it,
and in 1929 wheat was ordered from
England to be used as seed. In 171S
wheat was introduced into the valley
of the Mississippi by the "Western
Company" In 1899 it was among the
cultivated crops OF the Pines Indians
of the Gila River, New Mexico.

Making a Railroad.

When the war closed, one of the
Georgia railroads hadn't depot or
freight-house on its line, and its rolling
stock consisted of two old locomotives
and four fiat cars. These couldn't roll
until new ties and rails were laid, and
the outlook was dubious enough. How
ever, the president called meeting of
the board to see what could be done.
When he had stated the condition of
the track and equipments, he added
that the company hadn't dollar
in cash, and no collateral to borrow
money on. He then asked what should
be done.
II move we declare dividend of ten
per cent" boldly replied one Of the
directors.
1t was a thunderclap which knocked
'em all down; but he followed it up by
offering to loan the company $32, 900 to
make the dividend, and dividend was
declared. The stock at once leaped
from thirty-four to ninety cents, and in
year it was held at los and paying
dividend on that.

A Death Warming.
from casse]l,s GreaterTondor

tFrom Casselps Greater London]
Towards the close of November, 1779,
Lord Lyttleton had gone down from
London to Pitt Place for the purpose
of spending week or two in field
sports or other recreation, and he had
taken with him gay party of friends
On the oath of that month he had re-
tired to bed at midnight, after spend
ing the evening at cards with his
guests, when his attention was attracted
by the futtering of a bird, apparently
dove or a pigeon tapping at the win
dow of his bedchamber. He started,
for he had just put out his light, and
he was about to compose himself to
rest, and sat up in bed to listen. he
had gazed and listened for minute or
SO, when he saw, or at all events fancied
that he saw, a female clothed in white
enter-whether by the door or by the
window we are not informed-and
quietly approach the foot OF his bed.
He was somewhat surprised, and not
agreeably surprised, when the figure
opened its pale lips and told him that
three days from that very hour he
should cease to live. In whatever
manner this intimation, real or unreal,
from the other world was conveyed to
him, whether by sound Of the voice or
by any other mode of communication,
one thing is certain, that Lord Lyttle-
ton regarded it as reality and mes
sage from the world of spirits. The
third night came, and everything had
gone on as usual. The guests had sat
down to dinner, played their rubbers
of whist and retired; but none of them
had dared to rally the young Lord
Lyttleton on the depression of spirits
under which he labored. Eleven o'clock
came; the party broke up and went to
their several rooms, wishing each other
good night, and heartily desiring that
the night were past and gone, SO rest
less, anxious and uncomfortable did
they feel without exception. Twelve
o'clock came and Lord Lyttleton was
sitting up in bed, having given his
servent orders to mix him q dose of
rhubarb, though apparently in the best
of health. The dose was poured out
and he was just about to take it when
he found there was no teaspoon. A
little out of patience with the valet for
neglecting to have spoon at hand, he
ordered him to go and fetch one from
the pantry at the foot of the stairs.
The man was not absent from the room
more than minute, or possibly min
ute and hall, but when he returned
he found his master lying back at full
length upon the bed speechless and
motionless. No efforts to restore ami
nation were of any avail, and no symp.
tom of consclousne showed itself.
His lordship was dead, having died on
the third day as the specter had fore

An English Girps Greatest Ambition.
LFrom q London Letter. ]


But there is one aim which the En-
glish girl keeps necessarily in view
a good marriage. To reach it, she
changes her venue with unscrupulous
apostasy, and she hunts down her quar-
~ with relentless persistence. To
propitiate the owner of coronet or
millions, she adjures what she has del
fed, condemns herself to l,ur-
suits she abhors, changes her political
opinions, if she has any, or adopts fresh
convictions with charming spontaneity; /;
wears nothing but primroses or SCOTS
at them, adores the country or worships
the town, extols the army or exalts the
law, dotes on beardless boys or toIerates
none but middle-aged men. Disap-
pointments dc not rebuke her: failures
spur her on to fresh efforts, and when
at last the goal is reached she iastan-
teneously degenerates into the British
matron.

Juggling With Great Names.

FROM the Detroit Free Press
The temptation to juggle with great
names in the market and persuade peo-
pie that certain kind of merchandise
is much enhanced by its association with
a renowned reputation is very common.
The practice is sometimes
made utterly absurd. A distinguished
clergyman will certify to the excellence
of soap or sewing machine; great
actress to the superiority Of clothes
wringer or new ohurn; prominent
senator to the merits of the latest bak-
ing. powder. But they are all off the
same piece. Whether it be general in
Wall Street, prince in gentlemen's
furnishing store, clergyman or an actor
in the advertising columns-the idea is
to rope in customers by the bait of a
big name.

THE TYRANr's FATE.
nY 1osErHIxs POLLARD.


A brewer of Ghent, who had much "gelt,n
And whose name was Jacob van Arteveldt,
Was the very prince of commanders
For nobody ruled with such might as he,
And none could doubt his authority
Throughout the country Of Flanders.
Whenever Jacob van Afteyeldt went
From his dwelling Into the city Of Client,
Right nobly was he attended,
By men on foot-at least forcscore-
Who marched behind and who marched before,
That he might be well defended.
Now France and England were long at strife
And many good man lost his life,
And thrones were badly shaken,
But of all the blows the Frenchman dealt
None troubled Jacob van Arteveldt,
Stnca Flanders Was not taken.
To favor the English king he went
To Bruges and Ypres, then back to Client,
Which act the people offended
That his powerful rule, his despotic sway,
In Flanders alas was ended
The very creatures who'd served him best
Refused to listen to his request,
Or to do his will or pleasure.
..Too long already the yoke we've borne"
They said: "You have robbed us of rents and
And sent to England our treasure"
He spoke them softly; they would not hear.
He clasped his hands-ay, he shed tear
Who for others had no pity.
The tables were turned, and although he knelt
And begged for his life Van Arteyeldt
Was obliged to flee the city.
The spirit of evil he had sown
To dragons teeth and to swords h had grown,
Ready and sharp for slaughter
Aad though he hastened with might and main,
The master Of Flanders was quickly slain
BY those to whom blood was as water.
And thus did the ancient brewer OF Ghent
Meet with righteous punishment;
And the most despotic commanders
May learn from Jacob van Arteveldts fate
That fear may easily turn to hate,
And the slave be the lord of Flanders!
