One of the daintiest of wild flowers of
June is the blossom of that ume-honored
c-oncomitant of roast turkey. the cram
berry. While. however, everybody knows
the berry. few are acquainted with the
flower, for the peat bogs where it blows
in the choice fellowship of the stately
pitcher plant and the golden club. and of
many a rare orchid. are quite remote
from. the beaten paths of travel. The
cranberry plant is a small, slender.
somewhat trailing shrub, with the neat
est of evergreen leaves. from amid which a
few thread-like stalks lift their nOdding
flowers. When fully expanded the pink
lobes of each cOrOlla are curled back like a
lily's, and from the heart of them the COM
pressed stamens protrude in the shape of a
spear-point or a beak. The imaginative may
see i'm this long-beaked little blossom. a
resemblance 10 a tiny cranes head. whence
some hard-pressed etynOlogist has thought
to derive the word cr~anberry-that is.
CRANBERRY. Those who like q. make a
place on the home table for oddities and
rarities Of the plant world may well in
clude in their list for June a few sprays Of

NickeI-in-the-SIOt Cafe.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Horn & Hardart have solved the rapid
transit luncheon problem by opening a res
taurant called the Automat at S1S-S20 Chest
nut street. 1t is a mammoth nickel-in-the-
slot scheme and the only one of its kind in
the United States.
Heretofore, the man with one minute and
thirty-seven seconds for lunch has fumed
while a waiter has been getting his order.
In the Automat all this is changed. If a
patrons lunch is not forthcoming speedily
IL will only be because he is unable to de-
eide, off hand. whether he wants one of a
large assortment of sandwiches, pies,
coffee, soup, ice cream and the unusual
variety Of quick lunch fare. The moment
he knows, or thinks he knows, what he
wants, all he has to do is to walk up TO one
Of the machines, which have a glass door
through which are seen the various viandS,
drop his nickel in the slot. and the sand
witch, or pastry, drops down on a plate
with three times the 0ispatch the best-reg-
ulated Of walters could boast of.
If it is coffee he wishes, a cup is at hand.
He places it under a spigot. He drops his
nickel in the slot. Out pours the coffee and
just as the cup is filled the flow ceases. AS
for soup and the like, it drops down on
shelves done up in Immaculate bowls. Ice
cream alone calls for the veriest tri1e of
complication. The patron does the nickel
trick and gets a check. Then he waits a
moment and up shoots the plate desired.
Then in goes the coin and out comes the
ice cream.
There was a great rush at the Automat
yesterday, and its success will doubtless
continue as the service is as neat as it is
rand.

The Howard Trial.

The trial of Eugene Howard for bur-
glary is still occupying the time Of
Judge Bonniield and a jury in the Dis
trict Court. The State closed it's d.
rect evidence yesterday and the taking
of evidence for the defense was begun
this morning. The defendant was the
first witness placed on the stand. He
told his story, claiming the goods he
had in his possession, and which are
alleged to have peer stolen at Cane
Springs station, were given to him by
a man named Johnson. This Johnson
is a man who was somewhere in the
neighborhood about the time the crime
was committed, and the defense is evil
IDENTIFY trying to create the impression
that he is the real robber, and that he
turned the goods over to Howard and
Harrison. The later, whose trial will
come next, was also placed on the
stand this forenoon, and he told a
story similar to that of Howard. The
defense scored a point In preventing
the confessions which Howard and Har-
rison are said to have made when ar
rested by Constable English from being
admitted in evidence on the ground
that they were not made voluntarily.
The Ease may possibly be given to
the jury this afternoon, but is more
likely to be continued until Monday.
