TO THE HONOR OF ROANOKE.

Roanoke is singuiarly honored by
the election OF General Fitzhugh Lee
as president of the Southern League Of
Building and Loan Associations, at
Huntsville, Alabama, yesterday. His
pesiittior>as president Of the Iron Belt
Building aud Loan Association, pc
culiarly Roanoke institution, is well
known.
That this association, one Of the
youngest, yet one of the most flourish
ing, enterprising aad prosperous of its
kind, should thus, through its presl-
dent, be put before many older orsaui-
cations, is emphatic testimony that
the whole Southis aware that Roanoke,
Roanoke business men and Roanoke
business methods are three models of
excellence, and standards which set
the gauge for other cities, other men
aud other methods.
Nor is this recognition confined to
Huntsville, to single line of invest
ment or to the South. There is no city
in America of the size of Roanoke
which is as extensively known, adver
tised or talked about. There is no city
of its population whose marvellous
growth has been tn, subject of such
general comment.
1t is to be expected. No city of its
re fneAs.eriea has such marvellous
opportunities.

GROWING VANILLA.
An Industry Carried On for the Most Pal
by Women and Children.

An Industry Carried On for the Most Part
J by Women and Children.
| The vanilla plant of Mexico is a
climber, having numerous adventitious
air rootlets, in which it fastens to it's
chosen support. 1t is an ugly, ungain-
( ~ vine, with all the grotesqueness and
none of the grace usually found in MEM
bers of the orchid family. The flowers
are very abundant, but they prove
mostly abortive unless artificial fecunda-
ton is resorted to, which largely in
creases the yield OF pods
The flowers open in March and April,
and artificial fertiliza. lion begins at once,
as each blossom remains open but
twenty-four hours. The buds do not open
simultaneously, hence the ground must
be gone over daily.
The work is done for the most part by
women and children, each of whom is
provided with sharp stick and short
ladder, for convenience in reaching the
flowers. The flower is grasped with the
fingers of the left hand, while the right
displaces the anthers with their pollen
by means of the stick, and conveys them
to the pistil.
If this operation is dexterously per-
formed the flower dries upon the
ovary in forty-eight hours; if it falls in
less time the manipulations have been
unsuccessful. The fallen blossoms are
used for practice in the art of fertiliza-
ton by beginners, who at the end of
few days become able to fertilize thou
sand blossoms in day. If the plants
were not thus treated the yield would be
hardly nno-fonfh M 10
The harvest begins properly in De-
cember, when the capsules assume the
yellow hue which indicates that they
have reached their maturity.
The process of curing vanilla is del
icate one. The pods must not merely
be dried, but this must be done in a way
to secure several results; the pods must
retain certain softness, they must lose
little in weight, they must develop all
possible fragrance, and the active prin-
ciple must be brought out to coat the
surface in the form of crystals, produc-
ing the effect Familiarity known as the
''silvering of the vanilla"
In order to effect these several re-
suits the pods are spread in layers upon
gratings Of sticks, arranged in tiers for
convenience of inspection, in dry and
well-ventilated room. After twenty
four hours the pods are picked over and
the poor ones rejected. The next day
they are placed in the sun. Before SUM-
set they are again collected and CARE
fully arranged In layers upon dry
blankets.
This process is repeated for twenty
or thirty days, the time necessary for
the capitalization to become complete
Then the vanilla is assorted, tied up in
bundles of fifty pods each, and packed
for shipping In tin cans.-Youth's Com
panion.

respectable man stopped the way in
front of the ticket Office at an uptown
elevated railroad station the other day
and asked some question of the ticket
seller. The latter shook his head de-
cidedly. The man seemed to protest.
and said something like:
"But you know me?"
The agent shook his head again, and
the man repeated:
''You must know me. 90 through
here every day"
The ticket agent showed up the little
glass window in front of him and said,
with cruel distinctness:
"No, don't know you from a side Of
sole leather, and l won't give you
ticket"
The man seemed embarrassed, but he
got out of the way and let others that
were waiting have chance at the win
dow, When the rush was over the agent
began to growl;
That's the second one to-day; let
woman have one last night and she
hain't shown up yet; darned if I give
away another ticket till she ponies up
Tor that one."
"Do lou ever trust for tickets?"

exclaimed, impatiently. ''C:::@'t help 1t,

me up, or they tell such pitiful tale
about being caught with no money in
their pocket that 1 have to do it. Ever

they'll pay next day, but they very often
don't. I'll bet I've got as much as FIVE

was sent to this station, she came along
and gave me quarter to paw for her

kind of queer and said: Is that rights?
Yes, madam, it is says /, and then she

and said: oh, yes, remember; / owed

day she came again. and she gave me
her old story about not having the

the morning. said no and stuck to it,
and she went away disappointed like.
She came back in minute or two and
handed in dime, with remark some

Upper Niger and soudan Mission

Mr. Graham Wilmot- Brooke, whose
attempts to establish an independent
mission in the Soudan are we'll known,
has now become fully connected with
the Church Missionary Society, which
has assumed the responsibility for the
mission, under the name of the upper
Niger and Soudan Mission" Three
gentlemen have been associated with
Mr.. Brooke, who will also be accom-
panied by his wife. The mission is to
be supported by a special fund, made up
of voluntary offerings for the mission.
All the missionaries will adopt the
dress of Mohammedans of the Soudans,
and will not avail themselves of their
rights as British subjects, but will GO
among the people conforming to their
manner of living as closely as possible.
There are no Christian missionaries vet
in the Soudan, and this attempt to reach
the far interior will be watched with
great interest The people are intelli-
gent, well clothed and partly civilized;
the climate is healthfuI; transportation
up the Niger is easy; and the prospects
for success are exceptionally favorable,
if the prejudices of the Mohammedans
can be oyercoms.-Baptist Missionary
Magazine

A Copy OF Mrs. Havisham.

A statement is going the rounds that
Mrs. Sarah Helen Whitman, the last
love of Edgar A Poe, was woman of
exquisite beauty, ''whose face was a
poem, whose life was romance" For
thirty years, it is said, she mourned her
poet lover after his early death, and de-
fended him from first to last with all a
woman's deep faith and undying love.
In her latter years she always dressed
in white, with veil of the same color
thrown over the back of her head, and
she sat in room lighted by alabaster
lamps, whose shades were lined with
rose color" Now any one who will take
the pains to run through the pages of
Charles Dickens "Great Expectations
will at once see the original idea of this
palpable fake" concerning the last
years of the unhappy Mrs. Whitman
