The Kieffer Pear.

Apparently the most valuable pears
for general culture that have been in
troduced for years are the lie Conte
and Kieffer. The lie Conte is the
money producing pear of the South,
but the Kieffer. which is steadily gain
ing favor in the central and northern
markets, succeeds even north of the
cotton belt. AS a late fall pear there
is no variety which gives such general
satisfaction, or such profitable and sure
returns, in the Southern States. 1t owl
IDENTIFY ranks with the Concord grape
in point of popularity. 1t does very well
for preserving purposes, and its at
tractive yellow appearance has great
ly aided in creating an unprecedented
demand for it. The trees are early
bearers and produce from two to three
bushels of fruit the fourth year after
setting them in the orchard.-W. NJ.

Making . Success In Texas and May Run
For Governor.
The one idol which Hetty Green, the
richest woman in America, worships be-
sides her gold is ner son, Edward Green.
She believes that some day he will be a
great man in this country. Edward has

he was a boy in New York his rich
mother used to allow him the sum Of
SO cents day for his meals and pocket

Several years ago Mrs. Green sent Ed
ward to Texas to take charge of couple
of little roads that she owned there.
The roads didn't amount to much, and
Edward was allowed to. run them to
suit himself. The first thing that he did
was to consolidate them. increase their
general efficiency, and put them on a
paying basis. This pleased his mother

DISCOVERED BY MRS. OLNE>

How Her Correspondence Abroad "as
Much Facilitated.
Mrs. Olney, wife of the secretary Of
state, recently put her Yankee wits to
work and evolved All invention which
has been a revelation to the postoffice
department. That institution never I'M
derstood the full value Of the s. ecial de-
livery stamp until it's powers were de-
veloped by down east wit. Mrs. Olney's
discovery may prove Of value to other
people who find themselves face to face
with the situation which reused that la
dy's shrewdness.
She had a daughter living abroad.
Letters from her were always received
just too late to be answered by return
steamer Of the same date. After puz-
cling over it some time Mrs. Olney, who
was living in Boston at the time, queried
the postofflce authorities as to wheth-
or a special delivery stamp, placed on a
letter, mailed in a foreign country, would
be delivered any quicker for it on this
side. The answer finally came that IN
less the special delivery stamp was can
celed before it landed here it ought to
be delivered as any other letter similar
~ stamped. Accordingly one of the
United States special delivery stamps
was placed on the next letter mailed in,
Germany to Mrs. Olney. Under it in
German was the direction, "This stamp
is not to be Cancelled in Germany"
The scheme worked perfectly. Tho
letter arrived ehead~of the time Of pre-
vious7 ones and ain answer was sent back
bysteamer sailing the same day. Many
letters have since been sent in the same
manner and the special stamp always
does it's work as desired. -Chicago
