The English Walnut.

Possibly few trees in the old world
are more profitable than the English
walnut, which thrives in England and
oil over the northern part Of the CONT
nent of Europe. The wood is especially
used for gun stocks and for many articles
of furniture and is found profitable from
trees of 10 years of age and upward
There is always good demand for the
nuts, SO that there are two distinct lines
of profit-by the timber and by the fruit
In our country they thrive in any por-
ton of the eastern states, although as
they progress northwardly the tips OF
the last years shoots are destroyed by
winter. The living portions push out
again, however, and generally bear as
abundantly as before
In the vicinity of Philadelphia there
are numerous trees, planted by the early
German settlers, which bear every year
Single or isolated trees sometimes fail
60 bear fruit ON account of the pollen
bearing flower maturing and scattering
pollen before the nut bearing flower Is
in condition to receive it, and for this
reason crops are more assured when
number of trees are planted together. In
this way some of the pollen bearing cat
kins are conditioned so as to be in bloom
before the time that the nut bearing
flowers make their appearance. Nee

Suicide Among the Germans.

Another social phenomi nCn has been
laid mt the door of the Teutonic race OF
northern Europe, one which even more
than divorce is directly the concomitant
of modern intellectual and economic prog
ress. We refer to suicide. Morselli devotes
q chapter of his interesting treatise upon
this subject to proving that "the purer tho
German race-that is to say, the stronger
the Gormansm 10. e., Teutonism) OF
Countrywide more it reveals In its psych-
icai character an extraordinary propensity
to self destruction" On the other hand,
the Slavic peoples seem to him to be rcla'
lively immune These conclusions be
draws from detailed comparison OF tho
distribution of suicide in tho various coun-
tries of western Europe. and 1t must be
confessed that he has collected data for n
very plausible case There can be no doubt
that In Germany the phenomenon culmi-
mates in frequency for all Europe, and that
1t tends to disappear In almost direct pro
portion TO the attenuation of the Teutonic
racial characteristics elsewhere William

CHICAGO CHAPERONS.

Society Editors Instruct Youths as to
Their Uses.
The society editor was humming
line that ran something like this:
"Oh, the queer things we do and the
queer things we say. i"
"What are some of them?" demand
ed the man who does little of every
thing.
"Well," replied the society editor,
to-day young man came in to get
society item in the paper. 1t was about
theater party or something of that
sort, and he had 1t all nicely written
out, and down at the bottom of the page
was the statement that the party would
be chaperoned by Miss Blank. p"
"Well?" said the man who does lit
tie of everything, but who is neverthe-
less not posted on society matters.
"Well," explained the society edi-
tor, "of course there is no law, written
or unwritten, that says party Of young
people may not be chaperoned by an
unmarried woman, although it is not
usual, for she is supposed under such
circumstances to be of mature age and
considerable experience.
"'This Miss Blank is not a young
lady,, suggested, and he was angry in
q minute.
"'Who says she isn't he demanded.
Then he added, Il happen to know that
she is just 10 years old
"'She can't very we'll chaperon the
party, then, said.
"Who says she can't?' he demanded
again. She's just as good as any of the
swells on the Lake Shore drive, and
don't you forget it..
81 explained to him very carefully
that chaperon should be matron or
woman of mature years, and he quiet
ed down.
"'Well he said, of course we've got
TO have chaperon SOS to be in style.
The girls are all set ON doing the thing
rigst and proper, and we boys have I'M
dcrtaken to see it through. Maybe Miss
Jonc5 won,l do for ohaperon. She's
90 years Id.
"Hardly,'I replied. If you feel
that you must have chaperon. the
thing for you to do is to invite some
matron to accompany you.
"'Well guess not, he answered,
with emphasis. why, that would spoil
half the fun, aud besides we'd have to
put up for her ticket. If one Of the Girls
can't be the chaperon, you can just cross
that part of it out

b. w. Mcclure of Bardwell, KY,
tells of a marvellous discovery of old
coins about mile and half from
Laketon, KY, recently. One of the Mil
Ter brothers and another man, whose
name he could not remember, were pros
pecting in the hills with metal rod,
which he said could detect metal 22 feet
beneath the surface. The rod pointed
down over a spot, and digging down
nearly 20 feet they discovered almost
bushel of curiously shaped coins Some
were square, others octagonal, and still
others round.
The coins bore strange inscriptions,
which they could not decipher, and
were of copper, silver and gold. They
appeared to be very old. The finders re-
fuse to tell just where they found the
coins, believing there are others hidden
there. Much treasure is believed to be
hidden in that neighborhood. and the
people have been digging in the hills

MENTALLY AN INFANT.
The Strange Case Of Strongly Built Man
at Cleveland.


In bed in the Cleveland General
hospital is strong man reduced to the
mental condition of an infant months
old. He is William Murray OF Erie,
Pa, who says he was "hurt on the
head and is unable to give any otser
account of himself.
Murray's body trembles constantly,
and when he attempts to speak his chin
quivers as if he were about to cry. He
frequently leaps out of bed and sits
playing on the floor, exactly like child
when it is not yet strong enough to
walk. He has fancy for toys and plays
with them for hours at time.
When watch was handed to Muir
ray, he laughed and crowed in an &C.
stasy of baby joy and shook the watch
like rattle box. The next minute he
placed the watch in his mouth. A rat
tie box is one of his prime favorites.-
One of the pastimes in which Murray in
dulges oftenest is to sit on the floor and
play with his toes. He eats and drinks
like baby and tries to put everything
he gets hold of in his mouth. Every
phase of infant life is depicted in his
acts.
Murray is fine looking man and evil
IDENTIFY has been person Of refinement.
He is strongly built, weighs about 200
pounds and has dark hair and q dark
brown mustache. He evidently has been
a shorthand writer. The attendants at
various times have given him pencil and
paper with which to amuse himself, and
he invariably makes shorthand oharac-
tiers instead of the meaningless marks
of child.
Some of the physicians who have seen
Murray have theory that he was con-
fined in a hospital as the result of en-
injury to his head, and that he escaped
while slightly convalescent. The motion
of the train, they think, agitated tho
brain and brought on Murray's strange
condition. His return to infancy is an
unprecedented mental phenomenon
