What is supposed to be the only frost
less belt in the United States lies be-
tween the city Of Los Angeles and the
Pacific ocean. It traverses the foothills
Of the Cahuenga range and has an ele-
walton of between 200 and 400 feet. In
breadth IL is perhaps three miles. The
waters Of the Pacific are visible from it,
and the proximity OF the ocean has Of
course something 20 do with banishing
frosts. During the winter season this
tract produces tomatoes, poas, beans and
other tender vegetables, and here the
lemon fiourishes, tree that is peculiar
ly susceptible to cold Tropical trees
may also be cultivated with success,
and in connection with this fact it is in
teresting to know that part Of the IA
vorite territory has been acquired by Los
Angeles for park purposes, and it is
only question of time when tho city
will have the unique distinction Of pos
sessing the only tropical park in the
United States. Strange to say, only the
midway region Of the Cahuenga range
is free from frost, the lower part Of the
valley being occasionally visited. New

A well known Italian poet hit on
neat plan for securing the distinction
that comes from death, without tho
pains He published a striking volume
of lyrics, affixed an unknown name to
it, and in a laudatory preface told Of
the bard's wtetched life and early un-
timely taking off, even pointing out for
the benefit Of admirers the position Of
his tomb in certain cemetery. The
book had all the flavor Of genius perish
ed in its young promise, and secured q
big sale, a deluge Of sentimental tears
being shed by countless damsels over the
dead singer. And when the deceased I'M
known was securo in his posthumous
reputation and had raked in shekels
enough to make tho publication good
thing ON the business side the we'll
known poet came out with the confess
sion that no such young writer had ever
existed. The name was a pen name
adopted by himself. Tho bogus death
was device no had invented. The sue
cess Of his peculiar log rolling caused a
sensation, arousing indignation or
amusement, as it happened, but on the
whole vastly helping his own selling
powers. Hartford Courart

The last Official report from Argen-
tina showed that over 100000 acres
had been sown in wheat, and it was es-
timated that the harvesting of this crop
cost S225, 0O0, 009 in paper money, gold
being at a premium of 270 per cent
Many of the farmers, it is said, did not
harvest the wheat. The total yield of
the present crop in Argentina is put at
1,200,000 tons, for which the farmers
would get $4,000, 600 causing a loss of
Sl62,000,000. The average price of
wheat there is 81 for leo kilos or 20
pounds. The export this years crop in
Argentina is put at $4,000 tons. If
Argentina is losing money on wheat, it
may be a sign that the farmers in the
United States have chance to make
little profit on their crop.

the advance the United States have
made in public morals as compared with
EUROPE during the last quarter of a

And good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss of appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the

Marie COrelli'sPersOn

Extraordinary accounts have from
time to time appeared of Miss Corellis
parentage and adoption, writes Ethel
Mackenzie McKerna in the May
Ladies' Home Journal. The truth is
tllat the authoress, who is Italian by
birth, was adopted when quite a baby
by the second wife Of DR.. Charles
Mackay, the author. At his death
she was left in the guardianship of his
son, by his first marriage, w. S. Eric
Mackay, who is known as the author
or many very delightful poems, nota-
bly, The Love Letters of a Violinist."
They are a very harmonious pair,
these two, novelist and poet, and Miss
Corelli is as keenly interested in her
adopted brothers success as poet
as he is wrapped up in her fame as a
novelist. Each is enthusiastic about
the other, beautiful trait in this age
of self-seeking celebrities. Nothing
pleases Miss Corelli more than genu-
Inc admiration of '"The Love Letters"
Tor she is by no means the self-ab-
Sorbed woman that some people
would have us believe. Instead Of
counting notoriety, she shuns it re-
Hgiously, and her life is a quiet one
full of hard work. She is very meth
odlcal, and devotes every morning to
her work, with which nothing is al
lowed to interfere, and it is not till
