THE latest boy evangelist is youth
ST twenty named C. Z. Pilgrim, who
has just closed successful revival in
Baltimore in which three hundred
souls were saved. He began the re-
vival work when a lad of fourteen, and
is said to have been singularly sue
cessful. He is not flippant Or slangy.
He tells the gospel story in simply
eloquent style, and sings very sweetly.
He is handsome youth, graceful in
gesture, affectionate in spirit, intense
in expression, original in thought and
tireless as worker. Cor particulars
see small bills.) There is something
theatrical in the way in which these
boy preachers so about the country
working up revivals, and it seems
that the notoriety they attain must be
more or less harmful to them. Doubt
less they do some good, but their i'm
maturity and cocksureness must make
their appeals seem simply grotesque
to those who have seen much of life.

A NEW substitute for coffee may turn

The British Consul at Reunion SAYS

tiers from merchants in England ask.
ing for information respecting shrub
then called "mussaenda," the discovery
of which, it had been said in some
commercial journals, would deal q Sc
we're blow to the coffee and chicory
trade. About two years ago rumor
was spread that the berry of this
shrub could be advantageously en-
ployed as substitute for coffee and
chicory. 1t grows to about ten feet
high, has very few leaves, and its
branches are wide apart. The berries
do not grow all along the branches, as
is the case with coffee, but in punches
at their extremities. At present it is
only met with in the mountains, where
it grows wild. 1t might be produced
on an extensive scale, but with its in
feriority in fragrance and color it could
hardly compete with coffee.

neat red, white, and blue rugs of a
small check pattern, bound with red.
The initials V. II. are on the quarters,
and the quarter cloths have the same
initials, with no display. The price of
the horses varies from ESQ to 925O
apiece. They must be young and pass
rigorous veterinary examination.
After being purchased they are thor
oughly trained. The chargers have a
special drill in the riding school over
timber, walls, and hurdles, and are
also taught to stand fire.
"The coachmen have four iveries
apiece-the state livery, which is a
mass of gold; the eraulet livery, which
is but little less costly; the ordinary
scarlet livery, and the plain black liv-
cry with white waistcoats, that is used
on all ordinary occasions. All the
men live in the rooms above the
stables, and almost n military dis
cipline is maintained"

The mementos of an old love at
fair are always interesting. Romance
never dies. The flavor of it clings tt
the materials which aided in carry ing
it on. And so the finding of a be
grimed and badly battered metallic
box containing a locket, bundle o.
parchment letters, and faded ribbor
on the revolutionary battlefield O.
Stone Arabia sets TIE imaginativ.
mind at work to weaving a romance o.
the days of 76. One side of the locket
was engraved with monogram. The
letters wero evidently written by Q
titled woman living in London in
1883 to her betrothed, who was
Capt. Lowe. probably with the En-.
gIish forces in America. The last let.
ter told of the failing health of the
writer and of her wish to see her love,
again. 1t was received just before the
battle of Stone Arabia. Did the lover
return to England, leaving the case be,
hind, or was he killed in battle, and il
the package of letters SO carefully pre-.
served the abiding proof that his true
loves love was returned?

Why Are Hotel Cooks So Often Fatl

did you ever wonder why most
cooks are feshy?" asked the chef of
well-known hotel. "Well, I have a
theory that is held by many people to
be correct. Their unusual amount Of
flesh is undoubtedly due to the ali
sorption through the nostrils, mouth,
and pores of the skin of the aroma, OF
whatever you call it, of food which is
being cooked. The man or womaL
who, day after day, lives in an atmos-
phere permeated with savory odors OF
cooking food soon begins TO get fleshy.
Think this over and you'll agree With
me. ".-Philadelphia Press.

IT is sometimes said that the branches
of very old trees are, properly speak
ing, roots, and that if planted upside
down the trees would flourish. Herr
Kny, German botanist, has recently
Investigated the matter by planting
vines and ivy with both ends in the
ground, and subsequently cutting them
at the arch. The experiments were
fairly successful, though not in every
instance, and Kerr Kny intends to con-
tinue them with other plants and
trees, such as willows, poplars, and

"The main entrance to the stable ID
through the handsome gateway that
opens upon Buckingham Palace road.
In the quadrangle formed by these
gates and the archway leading to the
main courtyard are the Offices of Will
liam Norton, Superintendent of the
ROYAL News, with those of the Duke OF
Portland and his lieutenant, Sir
George Maudc. The main part of the
work of arrangement and management
falls upon Sir George Maude and Mr..
Norton. The former selects all the
horses. arranges the professions, and
has the general ordering of affairs,
while Mr.. Norton looks after the minor
details. Some idea of the work OF
managing such large affair as the
Queen stables can be inferred from the
fact that there are ITO horses in the
stables and eighty men employed as
coachmen, grooms, and outriders.
The head coachman, G.. Paine, has
been for fifteen years in his present
position and for fifty years In the
Queens employ. He always drives

You want to make money, of course.
Well, go to Oregon and raise apples
Listen to an Oregon farmer: In my
orchard I have q few trees of green
ings, from which I gathered thirty
eight boxes of apples, which Melted me
at the orchard 70 cents per box, or
$3.50 each for the four trees. Taking
seventy trees to the aero, which is the
usual number planted, this gives a
nice little return of $525 per acre. Now
to find out what can be accomplished
on ten acres, it is only necessary to
multiply little, and it will be seen
that apples pay bigger and better re-
turns with less labor than any other
produce, not excepting walnuts O.
