Loves Tribute
TO ROBERTA LOUISE JORDAN.

The tireless reaper has plucked
another sweet lovely flower,
whose unfolding petals sparkled
with life's early dew. Pure and
fair as ain opening lilly, she was
borne by guardian angels to a
heavenly cline where chilling
blasts, nor sorrows blight cannot
retard the completeness of her
unfading beauty. Medical skill,
untiring attention, nor agonizing
prayer could hold back the spirit
who came on a special mission OF
love. Only six short years she
was lent us 10 gladden. and bright
en- our lives, entwining herself
around our hearts by indissoluble
chords of love and affection.
Knowing only the "dawning OF
life's unclouded morn" she never
realized the shadows, bat lived in
glorious sunlight, her little feet
pressing only a path of roses,
"without the touch Of thorns."
Having by her peculiar brightness
and winning ways drawn all hearts
toward her, she gathered in her
little hands the most harmonious
hearts attuned to love, and then
flew with the garnered treasures
to the great white throne, where
seraphic skill bound them in q
framework Of celestial beauty,
thus forming for the angel q harp
which will thrill praise to Hin
who said "Suffer little children to

When the earth was envelOped in
midnight darkness, and the home

plumed for a heavenward flight

awake in the loving, protecting

Uncle Sam as a Fruit Fancjer.

Have you ever eaten a crosne, a
stachys or vegetable marrow?
These are some of the new fruits and
vegetables which the Agricultural De-
partment is about to introduce into the
United States
Some time ago Congress appropriated
$4,000 to collect valuable fruits and
vegetables in foreign countries. An ex-
pedition was sent to Italy and other
Mediterranean countries in search of
new foods.
The vegetable marrow is the most
familiar of the lot 1t is a sort of sum-
mer squash and looks like a large green
cucumber. 1t is eaten before it is fully
ripe, and is digestible. The department
suggests that it should be served with
meat. The finest marrows come from
Algeria
One of the most important finds was
the crosne. little-known French vege-
table: 1t comes originally from Japan
and looks like string of large beads.
These beads or t,,bers are two or four
inches long and about as large as ones
finger. The plant is boiled or fried and
served with meat. 1t is extremely
hardy and will grow in any ground.
A new variety of strawberry was also
found. 1t is known as the large -fruited
ever-bearing strawberry Ordinary ber-
ries will yield only few weeks, while
the new variety will produce for months
from the same stems.
A new muskmelon has been brought
from Smyrna which is said to be SUI
perior in sweetness and flavor to any
thing in this country.
An attempt is also to be made to in
troduce the pistache MT into general
use. In Italy this nut is more popular
than the walnut.
Several superior varieties of aspara-
gus. lettuce and onions were also brought
back from Europe-Nrav York World.

Too Truthful.

There is a little girl in Detroit whose
passion for the Truth under all circum-
stances embarrassed her father very
much the other day. Not long ago he
lost high-salaricd place in business
house because of its absorption by a
trust, and in the evening denounced all
persons connected with trusts as thieves
and robbers. But the trust found that it
needed him, and he was soon holding his
old place, in addition to good block of
stock. 1t was noticed that the little girl
was deeply impressed with the incident
and looked at her father doubtingly when
he was home. One evening there was
company at the house and the host be-
came involved in heated political de-
bate with perpery guest. The former
made a statement which the latter fatty
denied.
why, my dear man. laughed the
host, you don't meant to call me a
liar?'

Rare Old Bible Found.

A wonderful old Bible has just been
discovered in Venice, the fortunate
finder being Leo S. Olschki, a well
known antiquarian of Florence. 1t is in
FIVE large volumes, and was printed in
ROME in the printing house of Don
Pietro Massimo, in I47I and I472. Soon
after it came from the press it was pur-
chased by a patrician family of Venice,
and it was in the archives of this family
that Olschki discovered it.
The edition of which it forms a part
is exceedingly rare, and very large sums
have been paid for imperfect copies of
this Bible. Olschki paid 5000 lire ten
wears ago for copy of which two
volumes were missing, and library in
Berlin recently asked 1900 lire for a
mutilated copy. The copy just discov
cred is probably the finest in the world,
and 10000 lire was readily paid for it
by buyer, who is supposed to repre-
sent a wealthy American.

Severa! sepoys were suffering from
that AFRICAN pest, the "jigger,' whose
scientific name of Pulex penetrans de-

well. He is an exact reproduction in
miniature of the common flea, but in
stead of merely inhicting comparative,

skin, close to the toe nails for prefer

species. Unless he is very carefully re-

QUEER SITES FOR BIRDS NESTS,
Some Odd Places Chosen as Homes by
Feathered Families.

l ne peculiar nesting sites of the birds
IN the vicinity of Baltimore is a most
interesting study. Several days ago on
the old Liberty Road the completed nest
OF bluebird was found in letter box,
winch was in constant use. When found
letter was lying beside the nest and
one of the birds was in the box
In Dulaney's valley a sparrowhawk
appeared at barn and drove from a
box in which it had made its home a
wren. The hawk threw out the wren S
nest and soon completed one of its own.
and there reared its young.
Upon level tops of city houses bull
bats or nighthawks frequently lay their
eggs.
The COW bird deposits its eggs in
nests of other and weaker birds for them
deposited in the nest. The discovery of
ago, in which four COW bird eggs re-
posed besides one of the proprietors, s,
was considered a most unusual case by
ornithongists.
In the telegraph poles about the sub
vrbS of the city two members of the
woodpecker family. the flicker aud the
redhead. frequently make their homes.
burrowing into the wood In the masts
of abandoned vessels they also rear their
young.
English sparrows frequently build in
freight trains and their nests and in
habitan,s are sometimes taken across the
continent Mr. Frank c. Kirkwood,
secretary Of the Game and Fish Asso-
citation, tells of find he made in large
tree on Kent Island. In the top was
the nest of a fish-crow; farther down
was fshhawk's, in the sticks of which
were five purple grackles, with young
ones, and tlickcr's nest and three more
grackles and the nest of one wren.
Mr.. William II. Fisher, a well known
ornithologist of Baltimore, has in his
collection a double nest of chipping
sparrow 1t was found near Baltimore
and contained one egg in one apartment
and three in the other.
In the glass globes of the arc electric
lights Of the city English sparrows and
purple grackles sometimes build. .
Barn-owls. despite the noise around
the grain elevators. have been known
to rear their young in the buildings. Mr..
kirkwood last year found very intimate
relations existing between the families
of red-tail hawk and a gray squirrel.
The hawks nest was built upon the
squirrels, and both of them were in
habited In the sails of boats which
have been laid by for the summer, tree
swallows have been known to build their
