Two sEccARs OF PARIS.
An Old Woman Who Died of Starva.
tion Had Over 10000 Francs.

An Old Woman Who Died Of starv.-
tion Had Over 10000 Francs.
People in Paris have been deceived
recently by two remarkable beggars.
One was an old widow of over SO. She
had been living in house in the Rue
du Texel, upon the charity of the other
dodgers. She was an object Of pity, this
distressed, yet ladylike and gentle old
woman, and the little purse made up
for her each week was contributed to
gladly by those who were under the
same roof with her. Her room re-
NAMED locked for over forty-eight
hours and the police were called in.
The old woman lay upon her bed. A
doctor was called. He said she was
dead, and an examination indicated
that the cause was starvation. There
seemed to be nothing worth making ai
inventory of, but the police investigated
perfunctorily and under a heap OF rub
bish they found $500 francs in large
bank notes. A more careful search re-
vealed in the straw of her bed heap
Of bonds and other securities to the
value of 10000 francs. The poor" old
woman's heirs are being sought for, but
there is not the faintest clue to them.
A clever swindler presented himself
in Paris under the guise of deaf mute.
He was first noticed by the police while
conducting an energetic begging cam
paign from house to house. Upon being
arrested he went into an energetic pam
tomime, to which the officers paid little
attention In the police station he sud-
denly lost his infirmity and uttered
torrent Of invective against the police.
It was afterwards found out that,
speaking FIVE languages, he had piled
his trade in all the countries of Europe
and with remarkable success. HIS
method of operation was TO visit only
the houses of the wealthy and to strike
for large sums. In Paris his operations
netted him not less than fifty francs
day. He would first write to the FAM
lilies he intended to visit. They were
always of the foreign colony. The let
tiers would detail his pitiable state.
They were we'll written and seemed to
have the impress of truth upon them. A
few days later he would call, and, con-
irving to be seen by master or mis-
tress, would show host of certificates
Of physicians, mayors of cities and COM
missaries of police in proof Of what he
had written. The interviews with these
wealthy people were naturally had upon
paper, and the answers to the questions
put to him would be so beautifully and
carefully written that they would sell
dom fail to win the sum sought. This
young man-Gustav Remshager-is
now held by the police, and his convic-
ton is practically assured.

twelve inches. This variety also fow-
erS in June, bearing berries from one
fourth to one inch in diameter; these
growing, but when fully ripe, are of a
bright crimson, or carmine color. 1t
is a native of North America and is
found growing naturally in the peat
boys of Virginia and westward to Min
nesota. 1t grows also in the British
possessions to the north Of that state.
Its favorite resorts are swamps and
morasses containing rich bottoms of
decomposed vegetable matter. muck or
peat. Such swamps only as become
fairly dry in summer will grow these
vines, as the development of the vines
and berries requires certain amount
of dryness On this point an authority
says: This is not apparent at first
sight, as the vines appear to be grow
ing in the water; but upon closely ex-
aiming plants growing in a wet
swamp, the roots will be found not
penetrating the muck, as was at first
supposed, but entwining themselves
among the sphagnum moss above it.
The water settling away at certain sea-
sons of the year, leaves the moss COM
paratively dry, although it possesses
the property of retaining sufficient
moisture to support the plants, even in
the dryest times" In fact, the cram
berry seems to grow largely upon air
and water, and for this reason will
grow upon land where nothing else will.

cranberry into three groups: The bell

rieties can be distinguished only by the
fruit, the vines showing no differences.
There are numerous varieties Of cram
berries partaking of some of the ap-
pearances Of these three and evidently
merging from one variety into an
other. The largest cranberries are
said to be Of the bell variety and attain
diameter Of one inch.

Meat Supply of France.

A report upon food preparation and
distribution in France has been sent
to the State Department by Consul
Chancellor of Havre. In this report
he says that the recent alleged scarcity
of meat in the United States, together
with a very general suspicion of Amer
lean food supplies, have co-operated to
bring before the minds of the people
of France the necessity of looking to
home production for supplies, and much
has already been done to consolidate
and increase this disposition by inter-
dieting the importations of American
cattle, and by attempting to supply an
other deficiency by substituting horse
flesh, or by such means as political
Onstrate as practical under the follow
ing propositions: 1. That an abun-
dant supply of homegrown meat and
foods can be obtained at low prices.
2. That they are capable of being pre-
pared for consumption so as to yield
much better results than have been
hitherto obtained. 3. That they can
be effectively cooked in a much more
economical manner than heretofore.
4. That they may be distributed so as
to be promptly delivered in any and
every direction to satisfy the wide and
varied requirements of every class of
consumers. 1t is said that the stats
tics show that all the food required by
the people of France can be produced
in that country, and thus put into the
pockets Of the French peasants many
millions Of francs hitherto sent abroad,
while the price of meat at the same
time can be so reduced as to bring it
within the reach of the poorer classes
in increased quantities. The consul
says that this doubtless involves the
use of horseflesh and certain refuse
matter Of the slaughter houses, such
as bones and offal, which have before
been thrown away.
Vegetables from Florida.-Advices
are received to the effect that the com,
least twice as large as last years and
the melons ten times as large. The
main cause of this is the necessity of
farmers turning their attention to other
crops, when the freeze of last December
and January practically destroyed the
orange crop and shut OF the receipts
from this usual profitable production.
The effect Of this large increase in the
output in melons and vegetables will be
to cheaper these articles in the various
of the north, but at the same
time it will open a profitable channel
to the Florida farmer and enable him
to recuperate from the losses Of the
severe winter. If the recent disaster
to the orange crop leads them to greater
diversity in farming and shows them
how to take advantage Of their op-
portunities. the freeze win Be woeth 70

includes a seed testing and propagat-
ing house and a conservatory. Be
sides this central station, there are
eleven experimental farms in other
parts Of Canada, and these carry on ex-
periments in agriculture, horticulture
and arboriculture with much profit
The several farms are situated so as
to render them as helpful as possible
to the most thickly populated districts
and in their equipments and general
methods they resemble closely the CEN
trail station. The staff of workers at
the central experimental farm includes
a director. an agriculturist, botanist,
an entomologiSt and chemist. There
are also poultry manager, fore
man of forestry" and several assist
ants to assist the members of the staff.
The work is varied in nature and has
to do with practically everything
which relates to farming in Canada.
The adaptability and merits of various
varieties of wheat are, for example,
the subject of careful inquiry.
Experiments are carried on to deter
mine the vitality and purity Of various
agricultural seeds, and to investigate
the nature Of the diseases Of plants and
trees, and the cure for the ravages of
insects. Various varieties Of fertiliz-
ers are tested to determine their COM
-parative value with different soils and
crops. The study Of the care Of ami
mails is very important interest, and
the value of different breeds Of stock
and their adaptability to various eli
mates and other conditions are care
fully investigated. These stations ex-
anime the scientific and economic sides
of butter and cheese making. Ex-
periments are carried on to determine
the best methods of planting and prun-
ing trees for fruit raising or for shell
ter or timber. The information gained
in all this work is carefully recorded
and published for general distribution.

THE SEVEN BIBLES OF THE WORLD.

1.-THE seven Bibles of the world are
the Koran of the Mohammedans, the
Tri Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five
Kings of the Chinese, the three Vedas
OF the Hindus, the Zendavesta of the
Persians, the Eddas Of the Scandinay-
ians, and the Scriptures of the Christ
ians.
"The Koran is the most recent of all,
dating from about the seventh century
after Christ. 1t is a compound of
quotations from both the Old and New
Testaments and from the Talmud.
"The Fri Pitikes contain sublime
morals and pure aspirations. Their
author lived and died in the sixth cen
fury before Christ.
"rhe sacred writings of the Chinese
are called the Five Kings, the word
kings meaning web of cloth. From
this it is presumed they were originally
written OIL five rolls of cloth. They
contain wise sayings from the sages on
the duties of life, but they conmot be
traced further beck than the eleventh
century before our era.
The Zendavesta of the Persians,
next to our bible, is reckoned among
scholars as being the greatest and most
learned of the sacred writings. Forecast
er, whose sayings it contains, lived and
worked in the twelfth century before
Christ.
"MOses lived and wrote the Penta-
touch fifteen hundred years before the
birth of Christ; therefore, that portion
of our bible is at least three hundred
years older than the most ancient of
other sacred writings.
"The Eddas, a semi-sacred work of
the Scandinavians, was given to the
world in the fourteenth century"
