of a robbery case in which a number OF
people, part of whom had confessed, were

Chestnut Cultivation.

The supply of chestnuts never equals
the demand in this country, and many dis
tricts in which the trees are abundant de-
rive very respectable income from the
sale of the nuts. This industry might
be made far more productive and profit
able than it now is by some little effort
toward cultivation The chestnut cannot
be grown successfully on heavy cays,
wet soils or limestone land. 1t prefers
loose, sandy soils, or such as has been
derived from the decomposition of states
and shales. 1t is grown readily from the
seed but the greatest care must be taken
not to let the nuts become dry. They
should be planted as soon as gathered or
kept in moist sand until ready to plant.
The nut should be planted where the tree
is to stand, as the long tap root makes
transplanting difficult. The European
chestnut is not only much larger and
finer than the American, but has pro-
duced, under cultivation, n number of
varieties, some of which are highly es-
teemed for the superior quality of their
fruit. The trees do not grow so large
as tho American, but come into bearing
more quickly; the latter does not gener-
ally fruit until ten or twelve years old.
A japanese variety has been lately in
troduced into the states, which, though
not very hardy, is quite dwarf in habit,
and, while beginning to fruit at four or
five years, produces nuts larger even
than the European. These two charac-
ters-small size and early fruitfulness-
give them special value, and if they can
be worked upon stocks of the Ameri-
can species trees can be secured which
will bear earlier and produce larger
nuts than our native species Chicago

Barnum's White Elephant.

You probably have not heard how
Barnum secured the Endorsement of the
New York press on his alleged white ele-
phant," said Bert Davis, to Mexico,
(Mo.) Intelligence man. Upon the day
of the white elephants arrival in New
York Barnum entertained all the press
gang at dinner and after that he was to
conduct them down to the wharf to see
the elephant scheme to obtain little
free advertising. In the meantime some
of the boys had visited the wharf and saw
the elephant was not white, but rather of
mouse color, and they had agreed
among themselves to give Mr. Barnum a
genuine roast A few minutes before
the start Mr.. Barnum had story to tell
the boys in order to put them in good
humor. He said that there was once q
big social gathering given in honor of a
great beauty. When the beauty arrived
with the usual flourish of trumpets all
eyes were turned upon her and the gen
eral remarks were, Isn't she lovely ?"
and How beautifully she is painted i
1t is true, she was painted, not by hand,
however, but by God. Now, gentle
men, said Mr.. Barnum, the color of
this animal | am about to show you is
just as God painted it. Had the work
been left to me, | assure you he would
have been perfectly white The young
men appreciated the little story, which
resulted in the entire press of the city
ndorsing the great humbugger's white
lephant."

An Extraordinary Boat.

One of the most extraordinary boats
on the great lakes is not a whaleback,
but is passenger Car transfer operated
in the Straits of Mackinac by the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic Railroad. 1t has
an enormous capacity for carrying cars,
but its peculiarties are its strength, its
shape and the number of its steam en-
gines. 1t carries twenty four steam en-
gines for the performance of the various
requirements of the business it is in.
The hull of the boat is as solid as the
walls of an oldtime blockhouse. The
bow rises up and away from the water so
as to hang or slant over it us if it were
hammer, and that is what it was built to
be. This is because the boat is an ice
breaker, intended to keep channel
open in the straits all winter, or to make
one whenever she is pushed into the
massive ice that forms in that cold re-
gon. The big boat advances toward the
ice, and showing her nose upon its edge,
lifts herself upon it. Then screw pro-
peller under the overhanging bow per-
form5 the work of sucking tho water
from under the ice to enable the boats
weight to crush it down the more easily.
Thus the destructive monster makes her
way steadily through the worst ice of
the semi-polar winters of that region,
climbing up OH the ice, crushing it down,
scattering it on either side, and making
no more of it than if it were 80 much
jslush. II Boston Transcript.

The National Beverage.

The United States ranks high among
the cotfee-drinking nations, being sur
passed by Belgium and Holland alone.
The average consumption of coffee per
inhabitant in this country last year was
eight and quarter pounds, while that of
tea was but one and two-tenths pounds.
Coffee is the national beverage of the
United States.
During the last ten years the annual
consumption of coffee per head has in
creased two or three ounces. This is due
in part to the fact that the people are
better off and can afford to spend more in

TESTING A TERROR.
He Found out that he had Mistaken
His OccupatiOn.


When we opened the old -Four Y mine
in Nevada, says NJ. Quad in the New York
w World, it was no time at all before a live
ly town was founded and hundreds of
people came pouring in. lu those days
every community had its terror. He was
supposed to be able to out-drink, out-yell,
out-shoot and Outright everything on
legs in his jurisdiction. Some times he
was free-lance, and again he was en-
ployed as a sort of policeman. We
wanted man to protect company prop
erty, and one day a giant of IA chap,
weighing 205 pounds and 6 feet tall,
applied for the place.

asked of him.
81 am, he replied. GIVE had seventy
nine fights in seven weeks"
Afraid of anything mortal?"
Nothing mortal or immortal"
"Shoot both handedw

"Use the bowie knife?"
"Perfectly at home with it, sir"
How many men have you killed this
last year,"
"Well, this has been an off year with
me, as l was sick abed for six weeks,
and so | haven't got but 'leven."
Suppose, now that terror from some
other camp should come over here to clean
you out? Have you ever met any other
terror and downed him-a genuine, first
class terror from the headwaterS of Fight
ing Creek"
81 can't say that | ever have, sir-not
a regular terror"
"Then you can't tell how you would
act?"
"Why, should probably fight him."
But you can't say for sure. How
ever, come back at 4 o'clock this after
noon"
We sent over to Cedar Flats, five miles
away, for their terror We knew him to
be the genuine stuff, and when he arrived
we posted him as to what was wanted.
At 4 o'clock, when our alleged terror re-
turned to the shaft, the Cedar Flats terror
suddenly waltzed out on him with hair
raising whoop and called out:
"Whar's the bloody, bloomin hyena
who has been passin' hisself off around
here as fighter? Whoop Waug
Ugh! Somebody pint him out to me and
then tie my hands and legs while l bite
his ears off !"
Our alleged terror turned pale and
looked nervous, and the Cedar Flats maj
pranced around, cracking his heels to
gether and crowed.
Cock -doodle-doo Whoop! Pin
him out. Let him stand before me
Whoop! Tie me all up in knots, hea,
me up in that bar'l, and then I'll licl
him or go over the cliff! Great snakes
but won't somebody show me the fellow
who-w
| pointed to our terror, and the Cedai
Flats man uttered scream and rushe,
for him. The chap who had only killet
'leven men just fell right down in heap
and it was five minutes before we coul,
bring him to. He was winter than howe
and as limpsy as a rag, and it was all o
half an hour before he could walk away
81 How do you account for it ?" l asked
as he was ready to go.

business" he gloomily replied.
How do you mean?"

tea drunk has not increased in last de-
cade So it is evident that the United
States is becoming more and more adj
dicted to the Arabian or Brazilian berry.
In 1920 the consumption per head was
about seven ounces of tea and nineteen
ounces of coffee. Ten years later it was
about nine ounces of tea and forty-four
of coffee. In 1910 it was nearly fifteen
ounces of tea and five pounds of coffee.
Sixty years ago the value of tea imported
was about half to a third of that of the
coffee. 1t is now about n sixth. The

o dainty daughters of the dawn-most deli
cate of flowersl
How ftly do ye come to deck days most
delicious hours
Evoked by mornings earliest breath, you
fragile cups unfold
Before the light has cleft the sky, OF edged
the world with gold.
Before the luxurious butterflies and moths
are yet astir,
Before the careless breeze has snapped tn
leaf-hung gossamer-
While sphered dewdrops yet unquaffed by
thirsty insec.-thieves,
Broider with rows of diamonds the edges of
the leaves.
Ye drink from days o'erfowing brim, nor
ever dream of noon;
With bashful nod We greet the sun, whose
fattery scorches soon,
Your trumpets trembling to the touch OF
hummng bird and bee,
In tender trepidation sweet, and fair
timidity.
No flower in all the garden hath so wide a
choice of hue;
The deepest purple dyes are yours-the ten
derest tints of blue;
While some are colorless as light-some
flushed incarnadine,
And some are clouded crimson, like goblet
stained with wiue.
Ye hold not in your calm cool hearts the pas
sion of the rose,
Ye do not own the naughty pride the regal
lily knows;
But ah! what blossom has the charm the
purity of this,
Which shrinks before the tenderest love, and
dies beneath a kiss?
In this wide garden of the world, where he is
wise who knows
The bramble from the sweet-brier, the nettle
from the rose,
Some lives there are which seem like these,
as sensitive and fair,
As far from thought of sin or shame, as free
from stain of care.
We find sometimes these splendid souls,
when all our world is young,
Where life is crisp with freshness, with un-
shaken dew-drops hung.
They blossom in the cool dim hours, ere sun
shine dries the air
But cease and vanish long before the noon
days heat and glare.
And if in manhood's dusty time, fatiGued
with toll and glow,
We crave the fresh, young morning heart
which charmed us long ago,
We seek in vain the olden ways, the shadows
moist and fair
The heart-shaped leaves may linger, but the
blossoms are not there.
