The Raising Of vanilla Beans.

"The greatest industry in our neigh
borhood," said Mancos Quedalia Of Pa
pantla, Mexico, ais the cultivation of the
vanilla bean.
"The cultivation of this plant differs
from the general idea Of agricultural care,
for IL consists entirely in cutting away for
ests TO give it room to grow. The vines
are naturally grown from cuttings. Just
as the grapevines, but they can also be
grown from seeds, in which case it is much
longer before they begin to bear. The vine
is very hardy in its native element, and
sometimes takes root, even If thrown care
lessly on the ground, providing only that
1t has shade and moisture. 1t grows best
In virgin soil where streams abound and
where the soil has a slight intermixture OF
sand.
after setting out the plants, II they
thrive, they will begin to bear fruit in
three or four years. The yield Of beans
increases each year after that until about
the fifth, when it begins to dwindle. In
about the tenth year there is little or nc
yield and the plant is cut down. The vines
yield, when they are in their greatest de-
velopment, from So to 200 beans. The
beans are not ripe until they become yel-
low, which occurs in January or February,
but they are cut prematurely on account
of the depredations of thieves and on &c.
count Of the great demand.
"Taking the average for the last ten
years the number of beans gathered in
each years crop has been above Is, 900, 600.
"As rule the planters do not know
how Tn cura the beans This is n matter
which requires much experience, and per.
sons making q profession of 1t buy the
beans from the planter and cure them
themselves. Vanilla beans are also grown
in subtropical climates, but they are much
inferior to the Mexican product. Wash.

SENATOR QUAY'S CRAFT.
How He Got Even With the Boy Rowdy
of Beaver.

How He Got Even With the Boy Rowdy
of Beaver.
Just below Senator Quay's home in
Beaver, Pa, three streets meet At the
point of intersection is small triangular
strip which the boys of the neighborhood
for many years have used for ball ground.
The senator has always looked upon this
spot as an eyesore, as it was destitute Of
grass and usually was covered with sticks,
itones and other impedimenta Recently
he decided to beautify the little triangle
by fountain, which he constructed at his
own expense and presented to the city Of
Beaver.
But the boys resented this invasion Of
their vested rights and Immediately show
ed evidences of their indignation by filling
the fountains basin-a circular inclosure
of cement, q dozen feet in diameter-with
stones and clods of earth.
The senator ordered the basin cleaned,
but the fountain played only one day be-
fore it again became choked and quit.
| From that time forward it became a
| race between the senator and the young
sters. As fast as the fountain was put in
order it was filled up again, and at last a
guard was stationed to frighten away the
| mischief makers.
Even this was only partially successful.
Every boy seemed to think 1t his duty to
saunter close enough to throw stone into
the fountain and dart away before he could
| be caught. In case the watchman gave
chase dozen youngsters would attack the
fountain while he was away.
Finally the senator resorted to strategy
and diplomacy. He sent for one of the
ringleaders of the boys and said:
"Do you want to earn little money!"
The young man did.
"Well," said the senator, "I want you
| to throw q few boys into my fountain
down there. I'll give you 25 cents apiece
| for sousing them into the water. You
may come here every evening, and III pay
you for your days work. Take care,
though, that they don't throw you in. II
they do, you'll have to pay me % cents for
every time you take plunge"
That night the boy presented claim for
IS cents, 1t WAS promptly paid, and the
young business man remarked: I'm get
more of 'em tomorrow. It's cinch. I'm
stronger and bigger than the other kids.
It's just like finding money"
The next night the youngster reported
earlier than usual He was the muddiest
and most bedraggled specimen of human
| ity that could be conceived of. Slowly ap-
preaching Senator Quay, he extended a
| grimy hand and gave him half dollar.
