z Growers Of stone fruits can count up
on q new source Of revenue. The pits
of peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums
and prunes, heretofore thrown away or
used for fuel, have a market value. Es-
pecially is this true Of peach and apri-
cot pits. This year there is a strong de-
mand for them at from eight to ten dol
lars a ton, delivered in San francisco.
The kernel is the product sought. From
the apricot kernel that delicious French
nut candy" is made, displacing the
almond. Cinnamon, allspice and nut
meg are adu1terated with this same pit,
ground and highly prepared for the
purpose. Prussic acid and essence and
oil Of almonds are made from the peach
and prune pits, and these fayors are
used in 9 thousand different ways. The
pits are cracked in San Francisco and
the kernels are then sent: east.

/ Crocodile. Eat Big stones.

Crocodiles, like ostriches, swallow
pebbles and small stones, which serve
the purpose of grinding their food. The
natives assert that it is possible to tell
the age Of a crocodile by the number Of
stones in its stomach, for they swallow
one each year. In point Of fact Is stones
have been found in the stomach Of
a crocodile 10 feet long, whereas
the average number for younger ones
varies between four and eight. So says
Mr.. Voltzkow, who has been study ing
this matter for several years.

And with these and the other
usual messages the train carrying the
big excursion to Mexico pulled out Of
the station.
It was common, everyday sight to
the station hands, and they gave it
only a passing glance. But to mostof
the travellers it was novel expert
ence, and they looked on it as only the
beginning of the days of sightseeing in
the land of the Montezumas.
There were two passengers in one of
the sleepers who attracted some atten-
ton. One was a woman of 60, tall and
straight, with carriage like a queen
and who seemed as young and gay as
the youngest. The other called her
mother" and was about 25, beautiful
girl. Their son and brother had come
to the station to bid them good-by, a
man of 80, well groomed and well made,
the typical American man of that age.
He had provided them with every
thing that his affection could suggest,
and told them to be sure and let him
I, know day by day where they were and
if they were well.

AS he spoke two young ladies turned
and looked at him-his sister and a
younger woman, about %. She turned
involuntarily, and the pretty blush
that covered her cheek showed that her
name was Alice, too.
Robert Duncan glanced at her and
was struck by her beauty. But she
saw his look and turned away and
busted herself with her baggage. His
mother and sister both noticed the CO.
incidence also and smiled.
$50 we will have two Alices along,'
said his mother. Il hope we shall be-
come acquainted with the young lady.
She looks very pleasant and very NICE"
just then the porter shouted "All
aboard" and Robert jumped from the
train. AS the car passed him he
looked in vain for the faces of his moth
er and sister. But he did see the face
of the other Alice looking at him with
some curiosity.
Then he returned to his office. He

afternoon of work before him. There
was brief in case that had puzzled
both himself and his partner. But try
as he would to concentrate his mind on
his work, he could see nothing but the
beautiful face at the car window and
hear nothing but the droning of the car
wheels.
At last he became so nervous that he
threw down his pen, and, telling the
boy he would not be back till morning,
he walked up across the common and
the public garden to his home.
The evening at the theater did not
help him, and he was rather horror
struck to find himself no better in the
morning. This was a new experience
for him. No woman had ever before
come between him and his work. This
was silly. He never saw the girl before
and he never would see her again, of
course. He must have dyspepsia.
So on his way to his Office he made a
call on his old college chum, now a
promising young physician. He did not
tell the doctor what the most promi-
nent symptom was, but was sure he
needed medicine for dyspepsia. Ac-
cordingly he felt rather foolish when
he was obliged to say no to all the doc
tors questions as to whether he had
certain symptoms inseparable from
gastric trouble.
The doctor laughed and gave him
some harmless powder and he went to
the office strong in his resolve to finish
the brief. He made fairly good head
way, but still the image offthe beauti-
full girl would come back to him, and an

he did not admit to himself that he

That afternoon one Of the firms best
clients came in. He said he contem-
plated purchasing some thousand acres
in Mexico with the idea Of establishing
a coffee plantation there. He5was not
satisfied with the title to the land, !, and
felt that some one ought to go down

AN OPEN LETTER.
The Carnival Committees Last Ap-
peal to the Citizens of FL Pasv.

The Carnival committee has ISSUED
the following open letter, which ex
| plains itself:
To the people of Ell Paso:
The finance committee, appoi nted &c
| solicit funds for the proposed Interna
| tional Mid winter Carnival, have made
| a thorough canvass of the subject and a
partial solicitation for Subscriptions
| with the result that no doubt Is enter
tanned of ability to secure sufficient
| funds to make the Carnival success:
but there is serious uncertainty whether
the people of Ell Paso really desire to
have the Carnival at all. This COM nit
tee in q circular previously distributed,
have set forth the reasons why they
think the carnival desirable; but they
have no more interest in the matter
than have any other equal number OF
Ell Pasoans. Nor is it their wish or in
tention to force the festival on the city
against the desires of the people. 1t
must be remembered. also, that the
committee is composed OF busl-
ness men, whose time and attention
are demanded by their several occupa-
tions and pursuits, as much so as Is the
case with you to whom they must come
soliciting. Hence. that they may
have the Carnival if they wish 1t, or
not have it If they do NOT go desire, the
committee has concluded to send its
secretary, DR.. Geo. T. Gould, to make
q thorough canvass of the city, that 1t
may be definitely known who favor
tsving the festival, who are opposed,
and how much each may be inclined to
contribute to that purpose. We have
provided him with q carefully prepar-
ed list of the business men and firms OF
the city, and we hope that his work
will be so facilitated by all upon whom
he shall call that it can be definitely
determined by the middle of the week
whether the Carnival is to be held or
not.
