The globe artichoke is no food tc
set before hungry person, but it is
still a delicious morsel on the table
of an epicure. 1t is rarely seen, how
ever. among the numerous articles
which arc at the command of an Eng
lish cook. In California, however, they
can be readily enjoyed, being rather
common in the markets of their larger
cities. Their rarity in the east is prob
ably owing To the fact that they are
not very hardy and are easily killed
by our severe winters. The part used is
the flower head and il is the art of the
gardener in the old world to get these
heads as large as possible. For this
purpose they are planted in particu-
larly rich earth; nothing is considered
TOO good for the artichoke. They are
frequently raised in the old world six
inches in diameter. They belong TO the
thistle family, and it is the outer scales
of these thistle-like heads that are used.
The lower portions of the scale are
the edible parts. The scales are torn
apart and the lower portions eaten

cIal census Of 1890 there were 600 900
native-born inhabitants of North Caro-
lima and only 3.7OO born out of the
state. North CarOlina's percentage, ia
fact, is so much lower than that of all
the other states that it appears almost
insignificant. North Dakota, at the
top of the list, has so per cent. foreign
born population; Minnesota, SO; Wis
consin, ~; Rhode Island, A; New York,
%: Connecticut. 80; New Jersey, 20;
Illinois. 2S; New Hampshire, %; Ohio,
u; Maryland. 10; Indiana, :, and Louis
lana, 1. North Carolina's percentage is
oue-fifth of one per cent, and it has
at no time been much larger.
This fact being undisputed, the ques-
ton naturally arises, what is the cause
Some say that it is due TO the fact that
North Carolina is practically a state
without cities. and that as the foreign
born population of every state is to be
found chiefly in the large cities, the case
is easily explained, but such an eXplana-
ton, unfortunately, does not cover the
case. North Carolina has one city, Will
mington, with population in excess
of 10000, and Raleigh, Charlotte and
Asheville have more than 10000 popula-
ton each. Moreover, it is not always
large cities that count in the United
States for foreign-born population. The
state of Iowa, for instance. with only
one city in excess of $4,000 inhabitants.
contains 90 per cent. of fOreign-b born
population. North Dakota. too, which
was at the head of the list of states
in respect to foreign-bOrn population
by the last census, did not at that time
have city with population as large
as Asheville, y. c. Some other explana-
tion must, therefore. be found. and per-
haps the most plausible is the fact that
Virginia being the arena of the
hardest fighting between the hos
tile armies during the civil war.
the tide of immigration which fol-
lowed strongly while it lasted was
diverted from North Carolina, which
lies Immediately south of Virginia, and
thus practically the state was cut oil
from this supply. Before the war, Of
course. when slave labor ruled the in
dustrial market, there was no large
foreign immigration into any Of the
southern states. with the exception Of
Louisiana and Texas. Oddly enough,
while there are Ony 3.700 fcreign-born
inhabitants returned by the last fed
erll census. there were 1.5l4 Indians,

LONELY SPOT IN THE ATLANTIC.
Tristan da Cunha Might Almost BE
CIasscd ns Out of the world.

CIassed as Out of the World.
Anybody who feels an inclination to
lead a really quiet life should emigrate
TO Tristan da Cunha. an island, or, to be
quite accurate, three islands close to-
gether, in the South Atlantic, so far
away from anywhere that really they
are quite out of the world. The group
was discovered and named by the Por-
tuguese away back in the time when
Portugal was something more than a
name on the map, but now, of course, it
belongs TO England, having been ap-
propriated by her in 1916 one day when
she didn't happen to be busy grabbing
stray bits of land more valuable than
this one. For awhile some soldiers
were kept there, because of a vague
suspicion that Tristan da Cunha might
be made the base of operations in the
interest of ST. Helena's terrible guest.
After Napoleon's death the whole gar
rison departed, except a corporal and
two companions, who had taste for
solitude and asked TO be left behind.
Slowly the population grew, at first
from wrecks and afterward in the or
binary way. and now there are "a peo-
pie on the island, divided into 16 fam
lilies.
According TO n recently published
blue book the colony is an abode of
complete peace and moderate happi-
ness. The people have no money and
no private property. There are no doc
tors, lawyers or clergymen on the
island, and yet health, safety and piety
prevail. and such few needs as the soil
does not supply are met by trafficking

an English warship visits the island,

serious calamity that ever overlook the
islanders was when, during our civil
war, the Shenandoah landed 40 federal

or starved. as the inhabitants saw fit

A DUElING PEOPLE.
Four Thousand Encounters n Year in
Germany

| four IhOuSand Encounters n Year in
Germany.
More duels are fought in Germany
than in any other country. Most of
them, however, are student duels, which
culminate in nothing more serious than
siashed cheeks or torn scalps. OF all
German university towns little Jena
and Goettingen are most devoted to the
code. In Goettingen the number of
duels averages one day, year In and
year out. On one day several years ago
IL duels were fought in Goettingen in
"a hours. In Jena the record for one
day in recent times is 81. Fully 1000
student duels are fought every year in
the German empire. In addition to
these there are the more serious duels
between officers and civilians. Among
Germans of mature years the annual
number of duels is about 100.
Next to Germany France is most
given 10 the dueling habit. She has
every year uncounted meetings, "mere-
ly TO satisfy honor" that is, merely to
give two men the opportunity TO wipe
out insults by crossing swords or firing
pistols in such a way as to preclude the
slightest chance of injury. In the duel
statistics these meetings are not reck-
oned, as they are far less perilous than
even the German student duels. OF the
serious duels France can boast fully
1000 from New Years to New Years.
The majority of these are among army
officers. More than half Of these result
wounds; nearly 20 per cent. in serious
wounds.
Italy has had 2,759 duels in the last
ten years and has lost so citizens by
death on the field of honor. Some 2,4O0
OF these meetings were consummsted
with sabers, 179 with pistols, 90 with
rapiers and one with revolvers. In e74
cases the insult was given in newspaper
articles or in public letters regarding
literary quarrels. More than 700 prin-
cipals were insulted by word of mouth.
Political discussions led to $50; re-
hgious discussions TO 90. Women were
the cause of 1s9. Quarrels at the gam
bling table were responsible for lsS.
A summary shows that, as regards
numbers, the sequence of dueling coun-
tries is: Germany, France, Italy, Aus
tria, Russia. AS regards deadliness of
duels Italy comes first. Then come
Germany, France, Russia and Austria
in the order named. For the most seri-
Gus duels the pistol is the fayorite
weapon in all five countries.-N. Y. Sun.

Home Duties of Indian Children,

There are home duties as well as pleas
ures for the children. Boys are re-
quired TO look after the ponies, to lend
n hand in planting, to help in the
harvest; and they are often made to do
active duty as scarecrows in the newly
planted field, where, like little Bopecp,
they fall fast asleep. The girls help to
gather wood, bring water, and look
after the younger ones. AS they grow
older they are taught to cut, sew, and
make garments. In former days. the
old Omahas say, no girl was considered
gnarriageable until she had learned TO
ran skins. make tents and clothing, pre-
pare meat for drying. and could cul-
tivate corn and beans; while a young
man who had not learned to make his
own weapons and to he skillful hunter
was not considered fitted to take upon
himself the responsibilities of the pro-
wider of a family.-Alice c. Fletcher, in
Century.
