WHAT SEEMS AND IS.
This Little Dialogue May Serve to Make
the Stranger Less Dimdent.

The palaces of America are the New
York hotels. The visitor from the back
district enters New York hotel Office
in the same spirit that he would invade
st. Peters, in Rome. There is some
thing in the architectural grandeur, in
the richness and extravaganza of form
and color. in the mellow light coming
from vaulted ceilings and colored glass
that touches the spirit with sense of
calm. And the man behind the rose
wood and onyx counter! What dignity
of mien! What austerity of counte-
nance! What Jove-like front! And the
gentleman coming yonder across the
mosaic floor. He may be the head of a
great educational institution, or q
statesman, high in the councils of the
nations. He is followed by black
servant in livery, carrying his personal
effects.
But, ah! Human nature is the same
in the midst of all its impressiveness as
1t is in Princeyille or Jackson's corners.
The misunderstanding gentleman
seizes by the hand the dignitary on the
other side of the counter and says:
Hello! old stockin', how are you? You
look fit to run four miles,"
Bully! bully! Charley, old man!
Amt seen you for coon's age. How
are they comm with your
"Full-handed, never better, feelin'
like yearlin'. Wow! Amt it cold!
Got good, hot room for me?'
Fix you proper, my boy. Have to
put you up pretty high this morning,
but'n get you down on the second floor
by noon. How'll that do you?"
''Have to stand it, suppose. Can't
you give me that hot room YOU gave me
last summer? Zip! but that was a
scorcher!"
'Have fire built up there now?"
mo, guess not--what's that? Num-
Der All? Can't you add A. to it? I'll

COULDN'T ENJOY THE COUNTRY
One Gsmin Who Missed the Daily Visit
Of the Patrol Wagon.

One Gamin Who Missed the Daily visits
Of the Patrol Wagon.
That most city children thoroughly
appreciate an outing in the country ia
we'll attested by the popularity of fresh
air parties and the efforts made by chill
dren to be numbered among those taken
on the trips. But there are always ex-
ceptions, says the Philadelphia Record.
One exception was a member of q fresh
air party which had been sent out into
the country. He sat by himself, quiet,
unmoved by all the glories of the place
-disconsolate, discontinued, miserable.
Elliston Perot, one of Germantown's
kind citizens, who was with those in
charge, determined that the street
arabs should have a good time. He no.
ticed the little fellow and asked him
why he didn't go with the rest of them
and have good time. Good time
nuthin'," blurted out the hoy. Then
Frightening up as If Mr.. Perot's kind
ness merited at least the graciousness
OF an explanation, he said: "You
oughter live down in our alley. Why,
Their patrol wagon sometimes comes five
times day." There was a volume in
that speech. That day could no more
enjoy a day way from the narrow
courts and brick walls than we could
the Garden of Eden if Father Adams
heirs were put in possession again. But
he was an exception. Life in the coun-
try is unalloyed delight to most city
children.

Facts About the Yucca Tree of southe
CALIFORNIA;.

California.
The yuccas, or Spanish bayonets, as
they are most commonl called, are
among the most characteristic plants OF
desert and semi-desert zones of Cali
fornia, being found in nearly all the
hot, dry parts of the state where little
rain falls. Strange as it may seem,
these tough, wiry-leaved plants be-
long to the same order in botany as do
our beautiful hyacinths, lily of the
valley, tulips, and gorgeously colored
Mariposa lilies or butterfly flowers, 50
Enthusiastically represented in all
parts Of the state. And yet these yuccas
are tough and hard in texture with
sharp pointed leaves, often terminate
ing in a tough thread, which hangs
loosely from the end. Others grow to
the size of large, but not graceful trees,
often reaching fully 80 feet above the
ground. as is the case with the tree
yucca Of the Mojave desert, groves of
which may be seen at any time near the
railroad between Mojave and Los
Angeles.
These, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle, are about the only trees Of any size
found on the deserts Of California until
one gets high enough ON the barren
ranges to find the pirion pine, which
grows here and there on the mountains,
usually far below the rest of the pine
trees. The flowers of the yuccas usual
ly grow in immense punches, often as
much as four or five feet long, some
times being borne straight at the apex
OF long, leafless stem, as in the tree
yuccas, bending downward with the
weight of the great bunch of flowers,
which usually open in the evening.

Herr Notbe, German scientist, Is
said to have discovered means of cul-
tivating the nitrogen absorbing bac-
teria which are the cause of the assimi-
lation by leguminous plants to the at
mospheric nitrogen, and he believes
that the productiveness of certain soils
can be increased by sowing these bac-
terra. As the experiment would cost
the farmer $3.50 an acre, he is not likely
to try it on an extensive scale.
