milinr Article of Food.
Most of the beans consumed in this
country are raised in this state, in
Canada and in Michigan. Some beans
are coming now from California. and
the California output is increasing. We
import some beans from Europe, the
imports varying. being some years
more and some less. We are not i'm
porting many this year. The ordinary
white bean, such as we use for bak-
ing, grows OH 4 bush about two feet
high, in a pod somewhat similar to a
pea pod. The bean is at first soft and
of greenish tinge, or greenish white,
but it ripens white and hard in the
pod, as we see it in the stores. When
it is in just the right condition the
bushes are pulled up. or they are some
times cut down with "a machine some
thing like moving machine. and piled
up in the field to dry. Then tho bushes
are carried to the barns and threshed,
and the beans are gathered up and
famed and screened. They are sepa-
rated into sizes by screening, and
branded accordingly.
There are marrow, medium and pea
or small beans. In screening beans the
smaller marrow beans from the ends
of the pods might be branded medium
and the smaller mediums might be
branded peas, but the genuine beans
of these names are of as distinct varie-
ties as, for instance. the several varie-
ties of peas are. Most Of the beans
raised in this country are sent to the
market in barrels; the foreign beans
are imported in bags.
In this country New England is prob
ably the largest consumer Of beans in
proportion to the population, but the
consumption Of beans is general every
where throughout the country, and it
has increased with the growth of popu-
lation. Beans can be easily transport
ed. and if properly cured they are not
affected by hot climates. New beans
begin to be received in September. In
quantity the bean crop Of the current
year is not up to the usual produc-
ton. The actual consumption of beans
is much greater in winter than in
summer. We export some beans to the
West Indies and to South American
countries in some years when there
is more or less of failure of their OWL
crops.
AS common an article of food as
beans are in this country, we don't
begin to eat as many as the people of
Europe do. The production there is
enormous. Beans are cheaper there
than here and the consumption is i'm

A poe nnd bad Misunder.tanalng.

From the Washington Evening Star.l
 Tommy Kirby Is a cat. His habitat lis on Capitol Hill. Among his many
 friends and admirers Tommy Kirby numbers a large Newfoundland dog called Jack, who lives at the same house with Tommy Kirby. The two are often seen in each others company and on hot afternoons take their siestas on the same back porch in the most aniable, friendly fashion They have most thorough understanding, and on meet l ing after 8 brief separation will express their mutual satisfaction in short cries and ejaculations in their own language
 which they seem to understand per ! fectly.
 | The other afternoon Newfoundland Jack lay wrapped in slumber in the yard. Tommy Kirby came out, and, af- ] ter looking up and down the causeway, 1 concluded to go over and visit friend named Billy, who was himself cat of worth, and belonged to Tommy Kirby's set. He was picking his way across the street with that dignity and composure | that some cats assume. when he ent I countered a strange dog. The dog was disposed to make 1t case of assault
 and battery. Now Tommy Kirby is cat of great valor, and the neighbor- hood has night after night rung with his war whoops. Instead of flying from his assailant he came to a full stop made green his eyes, enlarged his tall
 until it looked as if it was meant to
 clean lamp chimneys, and gave his
 back an arch of much hanteur. Then
 he spat with exceeding emphasis and
 as one who announced himself ready for the worst. When Tommy Kirby had
 thus fixed himself, what they would in
 St. Louis call his tout ensemble very much daunted the strange dog.
 Instead of rushing wildly. in and rend- ing Tommy Kirby as he had at first proposed, he gave way to clamorous barkings. This uproar aroused New foundland Jack, who came tearing to the scene. Never having beheld his friend Tommy Kirby in this heroic guise, Newfoundland Jack utterlyfailed to recognize him. Being a dog of wig orous methods he unhesitatingly as- sailed Tommy Kirby out of hand. Such base behavior on the part of his friend and ally was too much for the compo- sure of Tommy Kirby. He strengthened the arch out of his spinal column, low cred his tail, and fled with screech of pained surprise
 Then 1t was that Newfoundland Jack recognized him. He looked after Tom my Kirby, while grief and remorse 1 shone in his eyes. He was full of apol- 1 ogy to the brim. This lasted fo7sa mo- | ment, and then the meditations or 4Tew- Jack took a new turn. He abruptly fell upon the strange dog, 1 whose caitiff uproar had gotten him 1 into this mess, and gave him such a trouncing as few dogs get. and which | sent the strange dog bowling from the | scene at a faster pace even than that of l Tommy Kirby. The next day New | Jack and Tommy Kirby were seen sedately walking the yard togeth- CT; so they must have made mutual ex-
