Hat ami All.

"Ohl by the way" he said, as he
suddenly halted and wheeled about on a
tall, slim, sidewhiskered man with q
melancholy look, ''haye you got a match
about you?"
The other fumbied in one pocket and
another and finally admitted in a re-
gretful voice that he hadn't carried
such thing about him for the last ten
years.
"Oh, WELL" said the other as he
returned the stub of cigar to his
pocket, "you can lend NE a chew of
fiue-cut."
The melancholy man removed hand
kerchief, gloves, keys, knife and a lot
OF silver change, and after a hunt of
five minutes acknowledged that he had
never used the weed in his life.
Don't happen to have cigar handy,
eh?" qUeried the other.
The melancholy man felt in his coa:-
tail pockets-Lip pOckets-pantaloons
pockets, and got one hand down to his
boot leg when he remembered that he
didn't smoke.
Don't, Ell? Sorry 1 stopped you.
Beg pardon AMI hope you won't take
any offense, bat-that ls-ahem-
you might lend me your knife and lead
pencil and half dollar until see you
again"
The melancholy man did not hesitate
an instant. He passed over the articles
mentioned, or, rather, placed them in
his straw hat and handed the whole
business over.
''Thanks-a thousand thanks. See
You later-goo1 morning."
And he tossed his hat into the gutter,
placed that OF the melancholy man on
his head, and marched of with the
bearing of man who could ride six
blocks on street car and then have
money enough left to pay his way across
the ferry.

Or. Berenger- Ferdnd has described
curious people-the itinerant musi-
clans who travel in every part Of Central
Africa, from the Atlantic to the Indian
Ocean. They are known as Grlots, and
constitute a distinct confederation,
under the authority of chief, whose
influences is very powerful among its
scattered members, and who levies
heavy tax from their general receipts.
They are regarded with fear and repug-
nance by the negro natives Of the lands
which they traverse. and are looked
upon as members of an impure caste.
whose dead are capable of bringing ster-
ility and perpetual drouth to the ground
in which they are buried. They are
ski!ful in improving aud recIting; some
play the violin and guitar, whilst Others
beat the tam-tam, or play on various
discordant wind Instruments. Their
confederation Is undoubtedly OF long
standing. They maintain some degree
of intercOmmunication among the Afri-
can races, but frequently.make mischie'
vous nse OF the extraordinary hcence
granted them of going where they will
by fomenting qua,rels among the vari-
Gus tribes.

1t seems that the proposed Jordan
canal, the plans for which have ap-
peared in the foreign scientific journals,
is not to be. III any proper sense, a
canal, but rather large inland sea,
some three hundred miles long, with an
average of ten to fifteen miles in
breadth. The waters of the Dead Sea
would be raised from their present level
about l, 300 feet, and its area, of course,
be largely increased. The river Jordan,
the Dead Sea and Lake Tiberias would
all disappear with some square miles of
land. principally on the western side of
the Jordan valley as now existing, and IN
their place would be vast inland sheet
of water, fertilizing the neighboring
desert with the rainfall produced by
the evaporation from its surface. Accord
ing to this plan, therefore, there would
be, instead of simple canal, a wide
open channel. traversing Palestine from
north to south, navIga5le in every sense
of the term, with safe harbors here and
there on either side.

The stem of genuine mushroom Is
short thick and white, marked under
the head with a prominent ring. The
head is white and regularly convex,
the edges are bent inward, the flesh Is
white and firm, the under leaves are
deep pink, and separate as they ap-
proach but do not touch the stem.
When the mushroom grows old the
net-like shape changes; it becomes
brown, fiat and scaly. The under
leaves also turn brown. 1t is better
when eaten young. Spurious mush-
rooms have their heads covered with
warts and other membrsnaceous sub
stances, which adhere to the upper
surface; they are heavy and spring

THOSE who breed poultry are often
perplexed to know why the late Matched
chicks do not thrive as well as those
Matched early in the season. In nearly
all the cases the difficulty may be traced
to lice, which prey so greedily upon the
chicks hatched IN warm weather as to
make them feeble aud subject to disease.

The curculio presents 'tthe chief diff
Guilty in growing plums. one of the most
profitable fruits that the farmer can
cultivate. The insect never lays but
one egg in plum; in the cases where
two eggs are found in the same fruit
they are laid by different insects. 1t
takes 8 curcullo fully fifteen minutes to
deposit her egg. First, with the beak
a small piece of skin Is raised, Just
10 allow the ovipositor TO be inserted.
After the egg is laid the skin is doubled
back over the egg so as to wrap ii up.
Last of all, the perculiar cresent-shaped
mark is made around where the egg IS
laid. The object of this TO deaden the
skin so that the growth of the fruit will
not prevent the egg from Matching.
The process is a very interesting one,
and is best witnessed IN the cool OF the
morning, when the insect Is not SO shy
as at midday"
