st. Paul Congressman Rid
cuIes Threats Of Taking
Duty Off Wheat
INSURGENTS ARE FIRM
Senator Nelson Reassures Members
of the House That the Tariff
Issue VIII Not Be Opened
Up in General.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. c.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 23.-Repre-
sentative Fred Stevens says there is no
need for alarm over the talk of allowing
wheat to come in free from Canada. This,
he declares is idle threat which certain
sugar trust senators are making to scare
the beet sugar contingent into abandon
ing its sugar differential amendment to
the Cuban reciprocity bill.
The Morris amendment was put on the
Cuban reciprocity bill to kill it, and it
seems in a fair way to accomplish the
purpose. influential senators are begin
ming to talk in a hysterical fashion about
what they will do if they cannot have
their way, but Senator Nelson is not dis
turbed.
He paid visit to the house this after
noon and had talk with some of the
more prominent insurgents from the
Northwest, and assured them that the
battle was to be taken up in the senate
and Waged as vigorously as it had been
in the house.
Nelson believes that the people of the
Northwest are in sympathy with the dele
cation in standing against the sugar trust
and in favor of protecting the beet sugar
industry. He says the people may be GER
tain that there is no danger Of free Can
adam wheat any more than there is of
free lumber, free iron ore, free salt or
free fruit from the West Indies
The senators who are threatening to re-
move the duties from these articles are
the ones who are least DESTROYS of having
the tariff revised; and this would lead to
general revision. including duties on
steel tin, leather and all the other trust
products.
For the present the Cuban reciprocity
bill will have to slumber in committee.
The absence of Spooner from yesterday
conference was an embarrassment to
Cuban reciprocity senators, as they want
ed to find just how and where the Wis
conSin man stood.

ANCIENT SEEDS GROW.
After Lying Dormant for Years They
terminate Freely

JnSt how long seeds will live is a Ques-
ton that it attracting much attention
among the scientists, gardeners and hor-
ticulturists of Europe at this time The
discussion was started by the publication
of story that a handful of peas found
in sacrophagus of the Pharaoahso, who
died 5000 years ago, had been planted and
had grown. The vine of these peas grew
to height of six feet; the blossoms, in
stead of being white, were red, with Il
narrow yellow border The pods We're
little longer than the pea at present
raised and the peas were a little larger
and Sweeter to the taste
Hundreds of well authenticated stories
have been published of seeds that had
lain dormant for years, and when, by
accident, the proper conditions for their
growth had been brought about, had
sprung into life
In 1S45 a preacher of Fiarlight Eng,
had his old church, which had stood for
500 years, torn down, and a new church
was to be built on its site. For some
reason the building of the new edifice
was delayed. Soon thick bed of hen
bane sprang up where the church had
stood. Henbane was rare plant in the
neighborhood, and an old man who
lived in the town for nearly 100 years said
that it had been very rare, even when
he was boy.

TEACH ART OF CONVERSATION.

College I'm New York Where Stu

New York has one establishment in
which, among other things, they teach
the art of conversation.
How do you go about it," was asked.
eve discover at the outset" was the
replay, Tin what particular subject the
pupil is interested-and there are few per-
sons who are not interested in or who
have not latent talent for something
and develop him at first along that line.
By showing to him that he has a talent
we give him confidence in himself to be-
gin with, and then by education and
practice we give him facility.
AT the beginning we have the pupil
read some book bearing upon the subject
in which he is particularly interested,
whatever that may be. In a week say,
he comes back to report on the book and
we engage him in conversation about it,
this being the first lesson.
Il seek his opinion concerning specific
points in the book and he begins in these
talks to gain readiness of expression. AS
we go on we give him other books or
other subjects. and in the course of these
earlier practice lessons we begin to teach
him voice meditation and other refine
ments in the manner Of speech.
I'm due time the candidate is introduced
to our conversation class, which is COM
posed Of men, and of women, too for we
instruct here women we'll as men in
this art. The women are taught by an
instructor of their own sex.
1.-The subjects for conversation in the
classes, where the students meet as in a
social gathering. are selected sometimes
by myself, more often by the students.
BY observation of the several students
at these gatherings / am enabled to cor
rect defects in. bearing and manner ana
speech and to make to them suggestions
for their further Improvement.
1.-The subjects considered in the classes
have of course, a much wider range than
those considered in the earlier instruc-
ton. In the classes we talk OF the new
books and of the magazines Of the day
and of current topics Of Importance and
of popular interest; Of the things that
would most likely be the subjects of con-
versation In any gathering.
These, to be sure would not cover the
whole field, which might, indeed, include
all history and science and art, too much
to teach in one short course; but what
we do teach the pupil would at least
enable him to acquit himself cpeditably
in general conversation"
about how long would 1t take to equip
man in need Of such instruction so
that he could thus acquit himself?''
THAT would depend, Of course, upon
the person, but the answer would be, in
a general way, from three to six
months. IN. Y. Sun.

the church, were torn down, and almost
at once henbane sprang up. These seeds
had eyidently~lain dormant in the ground
for hundreds of years, waiting for the
proper conditions for their growth.
At another place in England some
pheasant covers were cut down for hoop
poles The space thus freed of shade
and thick underground was almost at
once carpeted with primrose seedlings,
although there had been no plants Of this
variety in the neighborhood for many
years. In another instance an oak that
was known to be over 100 years old was
grubbed UP, and in a short time wild
strawberry vines sprang up where the
oak had stood.
One Of the most remarkable cases was
the finding of some small seed in an old
chest in an English castle. The chest
contained papers that now rest in the
British museum. These papers were let
ters and the diary of an owner Of the
castle who had gone to the Holy Land
with the Crusaders led by Richard
These seeds had evidently lain in the
old chest since about the year 1885. No
one knew just what seeds they were 50
some Of them were planted in a hot
house and carefully watched. They
sprouted and bloomed and proved to De
peoples.
But England is not the only country
that can tell tales Of tits kind Many
instances of the curious tenacity of life
shown by seeds have happened in the
United States. A Kentucky colonel Just
before the battle Of Chattanooga, pulled
an ear of corn from shock as he passed.
Smelling it, he ate some grains, placing
a handful in his pocket. He was wounded
ut Chattanooga and sent home He saw
nc more service and his soldier clothes
were packed away AS matter Of senti-
ment he kept them until about three
years ago. when they had become so
moth-eaten that he decided to throw them
away.
In searching through the pockets Of
the coat he felt i small lump and drew
forth from the lining two grains Of corn
that had been there since the Battle
of the Clouds" Curious to see if there
was still life in them. he planted them,
and they grew. The next year, as the
corn they produced was unusually fine,
he saved every grain and planted it the
following year, when he again saved the
grains. Last year he planted twelve acres
of corn with what one might call the
grandchildren of those two veterans of
the Civil war.
Just cut of Indianapolis, near Broad
Ripple, is peach tree growing that has
a remarkable history. 1t was planted,
or rather the seed from which it grew
was planted, about six years ago. For two
years it has borne fruit that Is not very
large, but which is unusually sweet
The seed from which the tree was pro-
duced was carried in the pockets of three
men for 103 years. When the grandson
of the man who first placed it in his pock-
ct as lucky piece planted it, it had been
worn so smooth that no one could tell
