The call for American sugar stock
was so heavy Saturday at New York
that it advanced l03.7.s This WAS due
to the covering of short contracts put
out by firms with Washington connect
ions. In other terms. the demand was
50 large from Washington buyers some
time ago that dealers with Washington
Offices sold more stock than, they could
deliver without entering the market
Themselves to buy it. This heavy
business in sugar trust stock WAS made
about the time the sugar schedule rs
prescribed by IIavemeynr, president of
the uusf, and Secretary Carlisle was
adopted by the senate finance committee
If the tariff bill passes with the sugd1
schedule i; means $4,000. 900 extra
profits to the sugar tru>t aud stock
holders.

Proposed Ship Canals.

Surveys are to be made for ship
canal from the lakes to the Ohio river,
probably by way of the Erie and
Pittsburg; the agitation in favor of
the Chesapeake and Delaware ship
canal is growing, and the revival of
the project OF the Philadelphia and
New York canal has revived interest
in the Cape Cod canal project, which
would greatly shorten the waterway
between New York and Boston.
There are no physical difficulties in
the way that could not be surmounted
by engineering skill; the question as
to each canal turns mainly on the
cost and possible revenue. II is con-
ceded that such a chain OF canals
would be OF great advantage to the
Government i'm case OF war, and that
the canals would repay in value, di-
rectly or indirectly, all that might be
expended upon them, provided they
should be carried to completion. -

Trees Close to Buildings.

While it is very desirable to have
both fruit and ornamental trees about
the house and farm buildings, yet
their too close proximity is positively
detrimental as with trees that ex-
tend their branches against n build
ing or overhang the roof. In the lat
ter case, if OF shingles, the shade
from leaves and branches prevents
rapid evaporation, the portion thus
affected will need replacing years be-
fore the remainder. Not only this,
but the leaves and litter stop up the
cutters, rendering the cistern water
filthy. Thick foliage also renders
the rooms under its influence dark
and damp. OF course no one plants
trees with the above detrimental OBJ
jects in view, yet it is always best to
look generation or more ahead in
setting trees in any locality, and inn
agine how well-developed specimen
of the same species would look in
both height and expanse, for If the
little slip now being planted should
live, it may develop wonderfully.
Neaer set trees about BUILDING ex-
pecting to remove u certain number
OF them in ten or fifteen years, for
you will not do so, or will remove
them very reluctantly. You may
crowd some trees on the lawn, but
give the buildings n wide space for
air and sunlight. t. American Agri-

WHAT is EATEN.


At the department of agriculture
in Washington, hidden away in an
obscure corner, is an odd sort Of ex-
hibit of queer foods eaten by out-of-
the-way people. There is loaf OF
bread made from the roasted leaves
Of plant allied to the century plant.
Another kind of bread is dough OF
juniper berries. These are relished
by some tribes of Indians, while
others manufacture cakes out of diff
ferent kinds of bulbs. The prairie
Indians relish dish of wild turnips,
which civilized people would not be
likely to enjoy at all. In the great
American desert the "screw BEANS"
which grow on mesquite bushes, are
utilized for food. Soap berries fur
nish an agreeable diet for some saw
ages in this country, while in Cali
tornia the copper-colored aborigines
do not disdain the seeds Of salt grass.
Also in California the Digger Indians
collect pinenuts, which are seeds Of
a certain species of pine sometimes
called ''pinons"), by kindling fires
against the trees, thus causing the
nuts to fall out CT the cones. At the
same time a sweet gum exudes from
the bark, serving the purpose of
sugar. The seeds of gourds are con-
sumed in the shape of mush by In
dians in Arizona.
In addition to all these things the
exhibit referred TO includes a jar of
pulverized crickets, which are eaten
in that form by the Indians of Oregon.
They are roasted, as are likewise
grasshoppers and even slugs. These
delicacies are cooked in pit, being
arranged in alternate layers with hot
stones. After being thus prepared
they are dried and ground to powder.
They are mixed with pounded acorns
or berries. the -four made in this way
being kneaded into cakes and dried
in the sun. The Assiniboines used
a kind Of seed to stop bleeding at the
nose. Among other curious things
used for food are acorns, sunhower
seeds, grape seeds, flowers of cattails,
moss from the spruce-fr tree, and
the blossoms OF wild clover. The ex-
hibit embraces a number of models
representing grape seeds enormously
enlarged. Ii is actually possible TO
tell the species of grape by the
shape Of the seed. There is Jar of
red willow bark, which Indians mix
with tobacco for the sake of econ
omy. This, however, is only one Of
thousand plants that are utilized in
a similar fashion.

TO-DAY

Il not this day enough for all our powers
II it's exactions were but fairly met
II not one unpaid debt
Were left to haunt the peace Of futur
hours,
And sting us with regret'
Unbounded blessing lieth in To-day,
If we but seek we find IL hidden there
II is the golden stair,
Leading, it may be, by an unknown way
To all we hope or dare.
From sun to sun let us this lesson learn;
Upon To-day our fairest chances wait,
And, whether soon or late,
Our destiny upon its hinge may turn
To-day, sweet friends, is Fate.

Twenty years ago Joseph Brown,
then lad Of twelve years, ran away
from his home in Larimer. near
Greensburg, and slowed himself away

ship was wrecked. and he was sold
in Africa as n slave. He escaped two
years ago, and on Monday returned
to Greensburg, where he made him

flung away without q word, and she
never saw him again. That was all. I"
Il begin 10 see," said Melrose.
"He must have heard or imagined
that the girl was going TO marry the
Daimio. This drove him half mad,
and when he found that she could
not give him that dance he asked her
point blank il she were engaged to
the Daimio, meaning to marry him,
and she replied, Yes, meaning for
the dance. They were at cross-pur-
poses all through, and that little
mistake killed poor Tradegar."
And nearly killed the poor girl, "
cried Lady Sciva, with passionate in
tcnsity. when he went off in that
sudden and heartless fashion, people
said the cruellest possible things
about her. Oh, it was a sin and
a shame! Because the poor girl had
no brother or father to protect her,
and man had treated her badly,
and every one seemed TO think they
might do the same. Oh, the agonies
she suffered And that was why she
married-literall y TO get protector,
one who could really take her part,
and hold her head up again TO the
world"
1t seems to me terrible" said
Melrose. This happiness of two
lives wrecked by one little mistake
and that mistake due, no doubt,
to some envious woman's tongue"
At that moment the opening bars
OF a brilliant waltz came pealing
through the tall windows.
Perhaps so, replied Lady Sciva
hastily, and she rose to her feet.
" And now you must take me back
to the ballroom quick. am engaged
for the next dance"
Gordon Melrose gazed at her in
astonishment. There was IA Joyous
note in her voice which confounded
him. Silence he was prepared for
the silence Of sorrow which is too
deeep for words, or the passionate
complaint OF a deeply injured woman.
But not this.
Come, Mr.. Mclrose. | can't 90
back to the ballroom alone - she
cried impatiently, and she moved to-
ward the open windows.
Melrose sprang TO his feet at once
and escorted her back t. the ballroom.
At the window IA tall, handsome man
claimed her.
IL am sorry" Melrose heard her
say as she went Off on the strangers
arm. II got up the moment the mu-
sic began, but my partner dawdled
and / couldn't fly in alone"
As they whirled off i'm the crowd
OF dancers Melrose caught mo-
mentary glimpse Of her face. 1t was
radiant as if transfgured. The man
was bending over her, whispering in
her ear, and his lips approached her
hair.
"Who is that dancing with Lady
Sciva?" inquired Melrose of another
man.
"Oh, that's Jack Harkness, of the
Rifles, He's lucky dog When
old Lord Sciva died he left his widow
all his property absolutely. She
must be worth some twenty thous-
and year ut least, and has a house
in Grosvenor place and fine place in
Derbyshire.
But what has Lord Selves will

had been having great deal of
trouble with diamond smugglers.
Dead loads of fine new stones were
being offered by Maiden Lane brokers,
and the service knew they had never
paid a cent of duty. Every boat
coming over was closely watched and
suspects were put through course
OF sprouts in the searching line such
as they had never imagined possible.
Boot heels were bored to find hidden
gems trunks searched for secret
drawers; clothing examined in every
portion and cakes of soap in the pos
session Of suspected passengers cut
up and mashed fiat, but to no appar-
ent use, although several cakes of
soap were found to contain liberal
supplies Of the sparklers. One day, in
my walks up town, / saw q good
looking woman talking with apparent
familiarity to a well-known diamond
broker at the 23d street entrance Of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and as / ap-
preached i heard her tell him
TO be sure and be home to din

that she was the brokers' wife,
and then it suddenly struck
me that l had seen her face before.

membered that she had recently

mind to search her baggage pretty

living, that she had smuggled dia-
monds somewhere in her possession,

them. She was about to leave the
Office when l suddenly noticed that
the hat she wore was trimmed with
grapes. There were several compact
punches Of them on her bonnet, and
with a sudden impulse | politely
asked her to let me examine her hat.
She gave me one look of malignant
ferocity-I can describe it in no other
words-and then tainted dead away.
While the ladies were bringing her
to, / broke open one Of the grapes
and found a diamond imbedaed in it's
interior. This is the stone. Every
grape had diamond for seed, and
the gems altogether were worth $l7,-

paid, and her husband sold me this
gem in admiration of my gall, as he
