SQUIRRELS AND PECANs.
Reason for the Short Supply Of the Nut
This Season

Reason for the Short Supply Of the Nut
This Season.
Il was talking to gentleman who
| lives out ip Louisiana about the pecan
CROP said a Camp street merchant
land he said the yield would not be as
good this year as it has been, and he
accounted for it on rather novel
grounds. So far as the market is con-
cerned the effect has not been felt For
the past few years there has been a
greater demand for pecans from the
north. fact largely due TO the do
fnestieation of the nut and the higher
grades resulting from care and cultiva-
ton. There has been a steady increase
in the yield of the better grade of Pc
cans because of the small groves which
have been established in Louisiana and
elsewhere. These are the big pecans
which one may find in the market, and
they generally sell at a much advanced
price, Pecans are higher as a rule
along about Christmas time, because of
the increase in the demand from all Sec
tions of the country, and the tendency
among producers and gatherers to hold
part of the stock. The vast per cent.
of pecans sold in the market represents
the wild yield, and here is where the
scarcity Is according to my informant
1.-THE squirrel family seems to be re-
sponsible for the condition. From the
time the pecans begin to mature the
squirrel begins to feed on them. 1t
seems to be favorite food. and 1t is
estimated by men who ought to know
that the squirrels annually consume
half of the wild pecan yield. Civil
ization has been encroaching upon the
rights Of the squirrel with so much per-
sistence that in many sections of the
pecan producing country he has been
forced to rely altogether upon the pc
can crop for sustenance at certain rea-
sons Of the year. The squirrel will
generally take advantage Of the chance
to lay in a supply of pecans for future
use for windy days, when he does not
care to venture out of his nest for fear
of falling and breaking limb or meet
ing with some other dire calamity.
The result of these influences has tend
ed to shorten the supply of pecans so
far as the forest is concerned, and I
expect there is much wisdom in the ex
PLANTATION given by the Louisiana citi-
zen. We can't blame the squirrel. In
the struggle for existence he has as
much right to pecans as we have, and |

Ohio preparation was analysed by the
New York Agricultural Experiment
Station in Geneva, and found to con-
tain one-tenth of 1 per cent, of albu-
men, the remainder being red paint and
sand, worth altogether one or two cents

cents pound, contains half as much

correspondent suggests as a remedy The
proper training of children at home. If
/ This IS done, when they grow up they
will almost unconsciously act upon lhat
early training. The first and most il,-
portant lesson to be taught to children
is to be polite and deferential to the
other members of the family, and it is
needless to add that the best way to
teach politeness is by example, Grown
up people often complain Of the rude
ness of children, when they invariably
treat the children rudely and with no
consideration for their feelings which
are usually extremely sensitive.
While modern conditions would make
the old time formalities extremely
tedious, yet there are certain couItes.es
which good breeding demands and
which are too often neglected. 1t ~ a
fact that there here in Baltimore as well
as in Northern cities men are less de-

mot unlike this trick. but requiring
even less muscular power, is the feat Of
supporting a lot of people on a board
placed across your body while you are
bent over backward This is certainly
the easiest way for man to support
/ his family know Of Before the ath-
lete bends his body his feet are braced
so strongly that they can't slide. Then
he bends back and a. board is placed
ocross his knee and shoulders, upon
which another board is put crossWise
Tor the men to get upon. In this posi-
ton the bones of the arms and legs
support the weight, and as the bone of
a healthy human being is pretty strong,
a number of men may get upon the
board without causing the slightest in
convenience. The bones will have to be
crushed before anything will give
way.
One of the strong mans greatest ac~
complishments, one that has particu-
lar charm and terror for the small
boy, is the biting in two of nails. This
long-cherished delusion, too, Is a fake.
The men who do this never use the
common steel nails. They use the cast
iron ones, whose grain makes them
break more easily. Nor are the nails
bitten in two by the teeth, as is COM
monty supposed, but they are simply
broken by strength of the fingers. To
bite a nall in two put the thumb of
your right hand under the nail near
the middle, with the index finger on top
of the nail at the right end. Then put
the other end of nail between your
teeth ON the left side of the mouth.
Push down sharply and strongly with
your index finger and upward with your
thumb and crack goes the nail: IL you
do it quickly the crowd will think you
have bitten lead pencil If you have
not a cast-iron nail handy.

RUSSIA rs A RUMSELLER.

1t appears that the Russian govern
| ment has found the sale of rum so prof
liable that temperance movements in
that country run against a rather I'M
common snag. In 1895 Russia began
the experiment of making the sale of
spirits state monopoly. This was
done, so it was claimed, for two rea-
sons: First, in order to have spirits
sold only under certain restrictions,
and, second, as a means of raising rev.
enue for the government The total in
come from the government sale of spir-
it's, together with the tax which is col
lected on all private factories, is esti-
bles, or something like 5000, 900, 600
There is no other item in the Russian
imperial revenue that yields such a
sum, and, in fact, the income from this
source is sufficient to practically pay
the military and naval expenditures of
the country. The system of monopoly
has been constantly increased since
1896, and NJ White announces that next
year the reform will be completed
throughout European Russia
Friends of temperance in Russia as
sert that M, White is giving them no
encouragement, but on the contrary, is
doing all in his power to increase the
consumption of spirits in order that the
government revenue from this source
be enlarged. If this is true and if this
policy is continued it may ultimately
be found that it hasn't really paid Rus
STA to try to make money out of selling
rum,
