fact that Mrs. Sarah Grand's now noted
novel; THE Heavenly Twins" was only &C
cepted by publisher after it had worn out
a large amount of literary shoe leather in
its three years travels from one book CON
Germ to another. The Twins, it will thus
be seen, were getting we'll along in years
before n publisher finally thought there
was something in them that would sell, but
thereafter they speedily got into print, and
the book is now the reigning sensation in
Great Britain and America.
Sarah Grand is a nom de plume. What
the authors real name Is has not become
known yet. but as she has allowed her pic
ture TO be published her identity will prob
ably not long remain concealed. She was
born in Ireland of English-Quaker parent
age, received a desuloory education and
was married at l6 Her choice was a wild
over with two boys, one and the other 10
years old. After several years of travel in
Ceylon, China aud Japan she returned TO
England. and when about % years of age
she wrote Ideals" her first novel, and
published il at her own expense The book
created no furore, and when The Heaven
ly Twins came into existence, after two
years Of hard work, three more were neces-
sary before IL was accepted by publisher.
One objection urged against the book was
that il was about twice as long as the ordi-
nary novel of today. IL was finally pub
lished in three volumes, however, and made
an instantaneous hit. Every person who
keeps posted on the literature of the day
has either read the book or determined to
do SO at the first available opportunity
and il has probably caused more talk than
any novel since the publication OF Mrs
Humphry Wards Robert Elsmere" and
Thomas Hardy's Tess Of the d'Urber-
villes.n
Mrs. Grand lives in London with her son
and two stepsons and is said TO possess a
charming personality. She is firm be-

The caper Is the flower bud of a low shrub,
Cnpparis spiuosa, which grows on walls aud
ruins or on rocks and Accommodations of
rubbish. in the south OF Europe and at the
eastern end OF the Mediterranean. 1t is
very common in Italy and the southern
parts Of France. IL grows wild upon the
walls of Rome and Florence and il Guilt
waited ON large scale between Marseilles
and roulon and also in many parts of Italy.
IL begins To flower In the early part Of the
summer and flowers continuously until the
commencement of winter.
The buds are picked every morning be
fore the petals are expanded and are put
into vinegar as they are gathered. They
are distributed, according to their size, into
different vessels and prepared for the mar
ket. The youngest and the smallest, being
the most tender, are the first in quality,
and hence the different sizes are placed In
separate vinegar jars. denoting differences
Ina quality and value. The stems of the ca
per bush are trailing and or feet long.
The leaves are alternate. ovate. veined aud
of light green color The flowers are
white. large aud beautiful. with a tinge OF
red. They are divided into four petals. and
from the center of each flower springs a
long tassel of deep lilac stamens. The bril-.

John Smith was a clerk who had to
work the telephone which had been new
ly fitted at his Office. He will never for
get his first experience with the instrC-
ment. On hearing the chatter of the
bell he took down the receiver and heard
his employers voice asking for informa-
ton concerning business. John was I'M
der the impression that as his employer
was two miles away he ought to put his
hand to his mouth like an ancient mar
liner on the stage, who is paid sixpence
a night to do ship, ahoyr business.
He accordingly Numbered his answer
INTO the transmitter. The answer came,
Il don't understand you at ALL"
Smith essayed again and again, but
with no better result. A happy thought
struck him when he had recovered his
wind after the tenth blast, and he softly
whispered to himself, Il wonder if the
old idiot is deaf" His hair rose slowly
ON end as he heard the sound of his gov
ernor's voice coming softly from the re-
ceiver, mo, John, the old idiot is not
deaf, and you can take a fortnight's mo-
ice. John now declares that telephones
are frauds.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

annually. The industry is over 40 years old
there and the sugar beet Is considered the
most valuable Of agricultural products Its
cultivation requires great deal OF hard
manual labor, but the Poles have become
accustomed TO that and do not mind it If
they can be assured Of adequate profits

thing to organize colony Of Poles for the
specific purpose Of cultivating the sugar
beet and after the fair was over he made
trip to Nebraska to see il suitable land
could be procured. He found just what he
wanted. The soil OF eastern Nebraska, he
says, is ideal sugar beet land. and all the re
quirements as 70 temperature and humid

VALLEY railroad, and thither in the spring
families. His settlers were all accustomed
to beet cultivation In Poland and under
stand it thoroughly. Most Of them have
been living in the cor gested Sixteenth ward
OF Chicago, and the change cannot but prove
grateful to them. The president and treas
urer of the Polish National Alliance of the
United States have become interested in the
scheme though the alliance as an organiza-
ton has nothing to do with IL.
The plan is to divide the 1000 acres into
100 farms of 40 acres each-one for each fam
lily. The colonists will pay $50 an acre for
their land and will be given six years in
which to pay the $500 No interest will be
charged, and they will not have to pay cash,
it being expressly stipulated that they may
pay in sugar beets. There is sugar re
finery at Norfolk. only 30 miles from the
site OF the colony, so that the colonists will
have no difficulty in disposing Of all the
beets they can raise.
