TROPICS AT OUR DOORS
Americans are Large Consumers
OF Products of Warmer
Climates.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Americans live better, perhaps,
than the people of any other
part of the world. They are not
content with the products of
their own country, but draw
largely upon the tropics for con-
diments and delicacles that add
to the pleasures of the table.
The increase in the contributions,
of the tropics to the daily life of
man has been general through
out the contries where prosperity
or an activity in manufactures
and commerce is the rule, but
it seems to be especially marked
in the United States, which now
imports more than 100000
worth of tropical and subtropi-
cal foodstuffs and raw materials
every day in the year.
The increased reliance upon
the tropics is probably greater,
proportionately, in the United
States than in most other coun-
tries, since much larger share
of our sugar Is drawn from the
tropics thanis the case witt other,
and especially the European,
countries, which in mos cases
now produce their cwr eu&ar
from beete.
The United States have during
recent years consumed nearly
one half of the cane sugar or the
world which enters into }rterua-
tional commerce, and mo. tl.N

naye for chopping off felons'
heads. Halifax law was that the
criminal should be condemned
first and inquired upon after.
Coventry had a queer law in old
times, by which none but free
men of the city could practice a
trade there. Strangers were
starved out, Hence the phrase
for shutting a man out Of human
company-"sent to Coventry. y"
"Spick and span" comes from

The Multiplication of w eeds.

To give some idea of how weeds
multiply it may be stated that a
single plant of pepper grass will
produce $4,000 seeds ; dandeHons,
1900; shepherds purse, $1,000 ,
wheat thief, 1000; common this
tie, $500; chamomile, $1,000 ;
ragweed, 5000; purslalnc, 3d.
COG; pIalntain, $4,000, and bur
dock, 43,0O0 The importance of
not allowing a single weed to
produce seed cannot be alluded
to too frequently. a single hours
work in destroying weeds may
save weeks Of labor the next
season.

WORDS CAME BY ACCIDENT.
Origin of Many Expressive
Terms Used In the English
Language.

"Hurrah !" 1t seems to be
Hurray I" and the cry is as old
as England, says the Phlladel-
phia Inquirer. 1t is the battle
cry of the old Morse Vikings as
they swept down to burn and
murder among the peaceful Eng
lish. "Tur ale ~ was their war
cry, which means "Thor aid r'-
an appeal for help to Thor, the
God of battles.
"It's all humbugl" Perhaps it
is. Humbug is the irish "uIm
bog" pronounced humbug, mean
ing bogus money. King James
II coined worthless money from
his mint at Dublin, his 2O-shil-
ling piece being worth two.pence.
The people called 1T "uim bog"
1t was a Roman gentleman of
1000 years ago who first ask ed
whore the shoe pinches." He
had just divorced his wife and
his friends wanted to know what
was the matter with the woman.
They declared she was good and
pretty. "Now," said the husband,
taking off his shoe, "isn't that a
nice shoe9 It's good shoe, eh?
A pretty shoe, eh2 A new shoe,
eh? And none of you can tell
where it pinches me-"

CARED FOR DOG
AND PET CANARY
After Putting Them Beyond Reach of
Gas, Pastry Cook Commits
Suicide.

NEW YORK, June 22.-"My Darling
Wife: 1t is now o'clock. will die
at 1885. The weather is grand. 1t is
raining very hard. Nice time to depart
from this sad world. / bid good-by to
every one. / have carried Little Beauty
and Teeteet to safe place. They must
not die. IAOUL."
So wrote Iaoul Grossard, a pastry cook,
before committing suicide yesterday at
his home, 246 West Sixteenth Street.
Grossard had been out of work for about
two years and had been despondent.
His wife has charge of the linen in the
Brevoort House, and on her little income
they lived. Yesterday, before she went
to work, Grossard told her that he had
got a position in the country, and tina;
his troubles would soon be over.
About 2:30 O'Clock Grossard set me-
chanically to work to prepare for his
end. He played for a few moments with
his little Scotch terrier, Little Beauty.
and carried the canary, Teeteet, into
the parlor. Then he called the dog into
the room and shut the door. Going TO
the kitchen, Grossard fastened piece
of gas tubing to the gascock, and. cut
ting a hole in the door leading to the
bedroom, trained 1t through. He closed
up the window and stuffed the cracks
and keyhole in the door with paper.
Then he wrote the letter to his wife and
one to a friend.
He was found by his wife about 6
o'clock, when she returned from work.

RAILWAY EARNINGS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
A Gain of 3.o Per Cent
Over 1901.
Anthracite Coal Roads Alone Show a
Falling Of-Decrease in Bank Ex-
changes Due to Mine Strike.

The railway gross earnings statistics
for the first two weeks of June are a
fine showing. with the single exception
of the anthracite coal roads, whose
business has been affected already by
the coal miners strike.
All the railways reporting to Dun &
Co. for these weeks show total of s10,-
6SG,s34 gross, gain Of 3.9 per cent over
1901, and of 20 per cent over 1900.
Trunk lines reporting include only the
Western connections of the large East
ern systems. and the loss in earnings re-
ported is wholly on big Four" Cen
trail Western and Southern roads re-
port small gain. In May the in
crease was quite large. especially on
Southern roads. A number of important
roads in both sections report loss in
earnings for June compared with last
year, and the loss is due wholly to the
light coal tonnage.
Granger roads still report an increase
in earnings, in spite of the enormous re-
duction in grain traffic, which is rather
remarkable. and on Southwestern roads
there is still a small gain. Earnings
of roads reporting for the month to
date are compared with last year:
