Culture of Pecans in Texas.

1t is expected that sixty car loads of
Texas pecans will be shipped this year
from San Antonio. The 1900, 600 pounds
of nuts, at &c pound, will bring $45, 900.
The cash proceeds from the pecan indus
try are not always as heavy as they will be
this season. This years crop is the
heaviest known since the gathering of the
nuts became one of the distinct industries
of the State, except in the fall of 1895,
when the output was so great that the
price slumped as low as 1 12c. and the
average output is much less than l, 600, 600
pounds. The fact remains, however,
that the Texas pecan industry is of far
greater Importance than is generally re-
allied, and that it is constantly increasing
in magnitude. [Southern States Farm

Only a Hen.

Tenderly she laid the white, inanimate
form beside the ones that had gone before.
Around her was the silence of the tomb,
disturbed only by the plaintive chirp of
the cricket, the soughing of the wind
through the overhanging branches.
For time she repressed the strong,
contending emotions of her heart, but at
last she cried aloud in the frenzy of her
feelings.
Others answered, and the cry was tax
en- up and echoed back and forth until
the air was laden with the all-pervading
sound. Gradually it ceased. 1t was
useless and out of place.
She was only hen, and tomorrow she
will lay another egg.

that "these We're testals chansons for en-
livening the merriment of the Christmas
celebrity" Indeed there is scarsely
custom of any importance relating to
Christmas which was not ancient when
Christ was born. The evergreens, mistle-
toe, Examinations, cakes, carols, feasting
dancing, and diversion of various sorts,
point to the same pagan source, as do
many others of our social and religious
customs. Even the Bishop Crosier is the
old Litnus or chief ensign OF the Roman
Augurs. Mosheim informs us that Greg
ory Thaumaturgus ''allowed the Chris
tians to dance, sport and feast at the
tombs of the martyrs upon their respec-
tive festivals, and to do everything that
the pagans were accustomed to do in
their temples during the feasts.'
1t was not until the fourth century that
Christ's Mass was instituted, and the
Eastern Christians celebrated it then, as
now, on the sixth of January, and called
it the Epiphany, while the Westerns
pitched on the 25th of December.

and growing on the edge Of a gulch

stopped a few seconds to sniff at the
rifle and then, c0ntemptuously tossing
it aside, continued the chase. The hunt
er reached the tree and had climbed
to the lower limbs when his pursuer
reached it and without any hesitation
commenced the ascent. This was some
thing that the amateur huntsman had
not calculated upon, and he at once
proceeded to climb higher, in the hope
that his antagonist might get tired
and give UP. The tree leaned somewhat
over the ravine, making the climbing
easy, but the fact favored the bear as
well, and when near the upper branches
the young fellow found to his dismay
that the bear was entirely too close for
comfort At that moment, however,
his friend, who had recovered from his
fright and reloaded, shot the animal

nothing between him and death or ser

The International Studio Is a magazine
that VIII unquestionably gain for itself a wide
circulation in America. 1t will be its own
best advertisement; to study it is to realize
with fresh force the need that we have always
felt for magazine OF this character-a need
which has now remedy. The Studio, as
IS doubtless known to our readers, is an Eng
lish magazine of fine and applied art Of es-
tablished success. 1t easily leads the art
periodicals Of Great Britain and has had a
strong influence for the past four years on
~ matters pertaining to decoration. 1t is
thoroughly in sympathy with the vital art
work of the various schools and represents
the continent rather than England alone. The
name has been changed to the International
Studio, and 1t is to be issued in this coun-
try with a supplement devoted to American
art news The March number fully realizes
