RARE OLD PLANTS
Some That Have Disappeared for
Centuries Have Been Revived
by Chance.

Some IS years ago, when the scoriae
Cor slag) produced by the ancient
Greeks in working the silver mines of
Lawimur, near Athens, was removed, in
order to be reworked by more efficient
modern appliances, the seeds of kind
of poppy of the genus Glancinon, which
bad lain underneath the Stag in dor
mant condition for at least,1, 500 years,
sprang up again all over the uncovered
ground. Unknown in modern times,
this plant was described in the first cen
fury of our era by Dioscorides and
Pliny, and had disappeared from the
face of the globe for Is or 20 centuries.
The fact that these seeds should have
retained their vitality so long seems
very extraordinary, but there are other
instances quite as remarkable. For in
stance, raspberry seeds found in 1885
in an ancient tumulus in coffin buried
30 feet below the surface, and believed
to have been there since the second CEN
fury, were successfully planted. And
in another case seeds of the Poly
gonum Convolvulus, dug up from the
bottom of sand pit, where they were
believed to have been buried for 1900
years, were still vigorous and produced
healthy plants.

WHY HE WEPT.
His Mother Told the Chubby Urch1n
Where and How He Had
Been Hurt.

A very fat little boy with chubby legs
that stuck out at right angles from his
watermelon-shaped body sat in a
Georgetown car one day. His fond
mamma was engrossed in ''says She
ing" and "says heing" with her COM
panion, and Master Chunk made up
his mind that he'd like to look out of
the window. He rolled over and
climbed up on the seat, says the Wash
ington Post.
Nov, don't do that" said mamma.
''You know you've had one awful fall
to-day doing that, so sit right down.
"Where did I fall, map" he piped,
shrilly.
I'm the street car"
odd I hurt MYSELF" he asked.
eyes," she answered.
"Where?" and he looked anxious.
ION the hand" his mother replied.
Master Chunk raised one cushion of a
hand to his head. and then, without the
slightest warning, he let up a roar that
would have made the bull of Bashan
green with envy. All the way up to
High street mamma was busy comfort
ing him. She had recalled a painful
circumstance to him and he wept-
wept the more loudly since there was no
present pain to distract his attention.
And the woman across the car said
it he was her child he'd: stop yelling or
she'd know the reason

remained in the active work of the

which he was appointed, until the
year 1888, when, at his own request.
he was placed upon what, in Metho-

work we'll done. Few men have en-
joyed the honor of participation in two

as the effort to civiliZe the Indian pop

the youth of the country in Christian
civilization. The labors of SUCH men
never receive the recognition they de-
serve, yet it is through the efforts of
the fathers that the sons enjoy high
er measure of comfort and even of
luxury. The civilization of every age
rests upon the tolls and sufferings of
those who went before and prepared
the way, and the State of Missouri to-
day owes not little of it's greatness,
its wealth, its influence to the lives of
such men as Rev. Jerome C. Berry

sumo WOrk--Relief Bureau is
Doing Everything it Can.

New York, Sept. 1S.-Wm. Willis How
ard, general manager of the Cuban In
dustrial Relief fund and who has recent
~ returned from Cuba, says:
Cuba is in a pitiful state. Instead of a
rainy season, Cuba has had a drought.
Not since 1914 has there been such long
continued dry weather during the sum-
mer. The result has been disastrous. The
United States weather bureau reports
that all small crops have been ruined.
Sugar cane has been SO damaged that the
crop next year will he less thar the crop
ground this year. The most distressing
feature Of the drought is the d%estruc-
ton of the corn crop. Even under favor
observation-disclosures the corn crop would
have been small, for it vas planted in
driblets, here n there. The weather
bureau reports now that the corn crop
will yield not more than Is per cent. On
our relief farms we lave better corn than
any [ have seen in Cuba, due no doubt to
the fact tina we put more labor on the
growing crop than anyone else was able
to do. Business in the cities is desperate

ants are lifeless. Large business con-
Germs are scraping along as best they may

would serve as well.
"Anyone who denounces the Cubans as

Cuban will not work speaks without
knowledge of the subject. Cubans come

CAMEL RACES.

Camel races are held regularly in the
south of Algeria, where valuable prizes
are offered for the encouragement of the
breed of racers, and as much interest is
taken in their preparation and perform
ances is in that of race horses at La
tonla. The racing camels are the result
of very careful breeding through IA
generations. and in size, temper and APP
p%earance they are so different from the
ordinary beast of burden that they might
almost be considered a different race of
animals. Perhaps the most conspicuous
characteristic of the ordinary camel is
its extreme slowness. Nothing on earth
will ever induce it to hurry. A 500 note
will buy a very fair specimen, but for a
mehari, or racing camel, five or ten times
that sum is required to effect a purchase.
The racer. however, can be depended on
for nine or ten miles an hour, and kept
up for sixteen or seventeen hours almost
without a stop. The pace of a camel race
is generally fast and furious at the be-
ginning, when ali the animals are to-
gether and seem to realize that a contest
is in progress.

ed States. Instead the authorities I'M
derstand that the desire among the pam

make closer the friendliness existing be-
tween themselves and the great republic
of the north. 1t is no secret that some
time ago the representatives of the re-
publics of Brazil and Argentine held a
conference for the purpose of reaching an
agreement upon an appeal to other pam
American countries for the holding of a
second pan-American congress-, the OBJ
iect of which was to make closer their re-
lations with this government. Uunfor-
%tunately internal dissensions in Brazil
prevented the adoption of the suggestion.
