Pea Culture in Indiana.

The culture of peas is gradually be-
coming a very important industry in
Indiana. AT Franklin, Greenwood end
many other places the canning factories
have taken up pea canning, and the
markets of the world are always ready
for Indiana canned goods Of my de-
scription. AT Franklin there is a plant
that adds $4,000 cans daily to the In
diana supply. 1t is said that the daily
canning done In Indiana does not fall
short Of a ~half-million cans, and more
than a thousand people, not including
the growers, are given employment.
While the pea canning industry has not
yet reached the extent of the tomato
canning industry, there is every indi-
cation that within a few years it will
rival it in point of shipments.
Indiana o stands second in the list
of States as a canning center, and fur
nishes 20 per cent of the canned goods
put up annually in the United States.
Maryland stands first, having a slight
margin over Indiana, and New Jersey
Is third.

Same Old story,

They had just got married and were
starting on their honeymoon. The bride
had got the man she loved, and she
didn't care who saw her put her head
on his shoulder. The bridegroom had
got a farm with his wife, and If he
wanted to squeeze her hand or feed her
with sweets, whose business was it? A
little old man sat opposite the couple,
and he looked at them SO often that the
young husband finally explained.
"We've just got married" :
81 knOwed it all the time" chuckled
the other.
"And we can't help 1t you.know."

What It

In n OF the suburbs OF Philadel-
phia there is a school principal who is
a very kindly man. He is noted par
ticularly for his love of animals, and
he never negleots an opportunity to
lecture his young charges on his pet
hobby.
The other day he told them all about
vivisection and how. in the name OF
science, it entailed untold suffering
upon dumb animals. At the end of his
discussion, in order to make sure that
his words had been fully understood,
he asked:
Now tell me what vivisection

You notice." said a liveryman, that
There Is still to be seen about the streets
now and then a horse? l understand
that there is, in fact, still a consider
able demand for h~orseshoes, that in
dustry not having yet been entirely
wiped out. And / venture to predict
that 1t will be quite a spell yet before
the horse disappears entirely. And
when he does go it may be that he will
not be displaced solely by the auto
mobile vehicle; there may be such a
thing as a power horse as his successor.
had a man in here only to-day with
the plans and drawings of a steam
horse, one intended not for draft, but
for livery purposes. This animal was
In fact designed for saddle use; and the
inventor said that he would guarantee
that, what with the chances of its blow
Ing up or breaking down, the rider
would get fully as much exercise out
Of 1t as he would with a natural horse,
and that the pleasure to be derived Il ON
managing it would be far greater.
1T steers with a wheel like a ship,
the tfller ropes being carried forward
On either side to a small wheel set cross
wise over the horses shoulders In front
of the rider. AS the rudder of the ship
throws Its stern to starboard OF to port,
SO the steering contrivance on the
steam horse throws his hind legs to
right or to left and SO changes his di-
rection. Steam gauges handy on the
side of the neck, brake there, too, and
backing lever, and the gait controllers,
also. This horse gated to walk, trot,
canter, and gallop; inventor says he'll
have a horse with all these gaits, and
single foot besides, out in the spring.
For some reason, which he tried to tell
me, but which l didn't clearly under
stand, the single-foot mechanism has
presented more difficulty than was
found in any of the others.
THE inventor says that while the
first cost of the steam horse may at
present be a little greater than that of
the ordinary horse, yet when its greater
durability as compared with the life of
the flesh and blood horse is taken into
account, it will be found to be really
cheaper; and as to the amount of fun
to be got out of them there is really no
ground for comparison between them
ut all, the steam horse being so far
ahead. Think, he said, for instance,
of a race with, say, ten steam horses
entered, driven by ten hardy engineers.
Would there, or would there not, be
likely to ensue a scene of animation?
And l vas obliged to confess that such
a race would certainly contain at least
the ingredients of a lively time.

1t appears from the Cincinnati papers
that an entirely new and successful

SO well in the background that the po-
lice have not even a description Of him.
The scheme is this:
The man first obtains the name and
address OF some workman employed in
a large establishment. He generally
selects one who lives quite a distance
from his place of employment. The
next step is to go to a telephone, call
up the establishment and ask the party
answering the telephone to either call
the workman or take u message to him.
In either case the message is that some
member of the family has been serious
ly injured or taken i'll suddenly and
that the workman is wanted at his
home Immediately. The result is that
the workman hurries home.
During his absence another telephone
call Is sent to the place. The party
working the swindle represents him.

to the serious danger of the wife, moth

injured, he must remain home several
days. He adds that he must have
money and requests his employer to
give what is due him on the weeks

Of course the firm agrees, thinking it's

senger boy calls no question is asked,
but the wages due are handed over in
an envelope.
Instead of the workman sending for

the man returns to the establishment
that the boy was seen by some man he

downtown store. The swindler gets the

message and is well away before the
workman has returned from his home,
where, of course, the supposed accident
OF sudden illness has not been heard of.
