With increased transportation facili-
ties market gardening is making rapid
growth in the Texas coast country.
This spring that section enters the field
as a large producer of cantaloupes, and
its climatic conditions, it is claimed,
enable it to be first in the market, to
the great profit of the gardeners, who
have sold their ungathered crop of
breakfast fruit at prices that will net
them from 800 to s125 per acre. This
price is expected to awaken an interest
that will largely increase next year this
seasons acreage of seven hundred. The
entire crop has been bought by a st.
Louis firm, which has also cornered the
late cantaloupe crop OF Rocky Ford
valley in Colorado. The early and the
late crops are the desirable ones, as the
middle crop is extensive and must be
sold at low prices.

4 "A fine club has been started in Roch-
ester, New York. 1t is for women, it
rests on an assumption of ignorance,
and its motto is, I've know nothing,
but seek knowledge 1t is called the
Fortnightly Ignorance club. Each MEM
Der of the Ignorance club is privileged
to display all the ignorance at her COM
mand. A paper is read. questions fol-
low, and the subject chosen for the
next meeting is one of which the mem
bers know little. There are now sew
eral hundred members and the presi-
dent. is DR.. Sarah r. A. Dolley, one Of
the first women in the country to study
medicine. Miss Susan B. Anthony is
an honorary member and often adorns
the meetings. At present, however, a
difference exists between Miss Anthony
and some members of the club over the
suffrage question.

The annual report Of the italian State
lotteries shows total revenue of near
" sc, 1000 lire, which, after the deduc-
ton CT SS,5OO,OO lire for prizes and ex-
penses, leaves total gain to 4the ex-
chequer of nearly 27.5OO,OoO lire, or an
increase Of 175,71S lire as compared
with last year. 1t is fully recognized
by many enlightened italians that this
form Of revenue is pernicious, but the
impossibility of replacing the money
thus obtained by any equally popular
source Of income makes them despair
of ever being able to abolish it.

4 We shall have a real navy sometime.
Three first class battleships, four big
monitors, sixteen torpedo boat destroy
ers and twelve torpedo boats, thirty
five boats in all, are included in the lot
for which plans have just been made
the naval bill. This is the largest num-
Der and represents the greatest expen-
diture for war ships at one time since
the new navy was begun. 1t doubles
the number of the big monitors, and
almost doubles the number Of battle
ships in actual service, not counting
unfinished ships.
