cordingly he made a trip into the far
southwest to prospect for gold. While
there he found wild melon of unusual
flavor and sweetness, although 1t was not
large. He did not find any gold, but he
came home with his melon. planted the
seeds and in a few years he was supplying
nearly the entire Chicago market with the
product of this New Mexican seed.
The New Russian Melon.
Mr.. Taylor told me of a new discovery
just made by the Agricultural Department
"a melon that will keep well into the win
ter like a squash. Some time ago Prof.
Hanson was sent to Russia to gather the
seeds of fruits and valuable agricultural
plants unknown to this country. Among
others he found at Khiva, Turkistan, the
seed of melon which was picked green
and kept to ripen in a root house or cellar.
The fruit often reached the size of thirty
pounds, and it bore some resemblance when
ripe both to the canteloupe and to the wa
termelon; it seemed, indeed, to be In some
way a hybrid between the two. These
seeds planted in this country have grown
with great success, and the Agricultural
Department Is confident that 1t has made
a genuine discovery which will later yield
substantial money returns to the fruit
growers of the entire country. = In the
course Of two or three years we may ex-
pect to see delicious ripe melons on sale
during the Christmas holidays, and even
later in the winter
Watermelons, unlike the canteloupes.
have not yet begun to be designated by
variety names, except perhaps by the more
advanced dealers. There is the round wa
termelon and the long green watermelon,
and that is about as far it goes. But
it Is only a question Of time when the pur-
chaser himself will he able to distinguish
the triumph melon from Kolb's gem and
Dixey from mountain sweet. One of the
greatest educators Of the public in this re-
spect have been the fruit shows held of
late years in many important cities. Peo-
pie are beginning to know that the best
looking melon is not always the sweetest
and best, and planters are beginning to
learn that 1t pays to advertise and push
varieties (which are particularly excellent.
For this reason there has been growing
during the past few years a tendency on
the part of advanced growers to ship In
peculiar kinds of crates and boxes with
special labels, so that their fruit can be
anywhere in the market. l
know one grower whose fruit comes largely
to the. Chicago market who has this sign
on every one of his baskets

one gets luxury. comfort, and even splen-
dor. but never ones cards or notes There
is fatal gulf for these. One Is a number,
not an individuality. The table is, how
ever, very luxurious. 1t is clean and
weil-ordered caravansary AS for the com
fort of warmth in winter they do not know
the meaning of the word. We are justly
accused of exaggerating the heat OF our
rooms in America; the furnace is de-
nounced, but after freezing to death in
Paris one of the coolest of cities, very far
north, cursed with abomna BILE winter
climate, one returns willingly to the heated
rooms of America.
We eXaggerate the excellence of the
French bed There is no such thing in
France as that comfortable, broad low
thing which we call a French bed. high
narrow shelf is the apology for it.
We eXaggerate our comforts by having
gas in our sleeping rooms, and hot and cold
water in our stationary wash bowls and
bath rooms They never eXaggerate COM
fort in France. You have as many candles
as you will pay for, and no bath, unless you
order ii, when men laboriously bring YOU a
tub filled with hot or cold water, and take
it away after you have bathed
we exaggerate very much the supposed
good living in France To go to q hotel in
Paris to live we must expect out of the
season very little good food, very little that
is sustaining and nourshng. 1t is 'all
sauce There are no good joints of NUT
ton. no good American desserts. There is
an especial discomfort to the sick, who
never get good toast, good custard good
tapioca pudding, nor oysters that they like.
