The nIayhower,

1t is the Mayhower season. The sue.
cessful finder of a patch will forget
that there has been talk about the
growing scarcity Of these essentially
Massachusetts flowers. But it is a fact
that places that have known them
know them no more, and that it would
not be a difficult matter to exterminate
them altogether. So just a word about
how to pick them in the language of a
magazine writer who is a nature lover.

A London Bakesh op in 14aa.

Previous to 1413 there were no bal-
ers' shops in London. Before that date
tie inhabitants Of Stratford were bak-
ers for the whole city. They sold their
bread every day except on Sundays
and great festivals, which was brought
in carts, and they were ordered TO
stand, three in Cheapside, two in Corn
hill and one in Grace Church street.
The Stratford baking finally ceased in
1868.
In the year 1912, there being a great
scarcity, the Stratford bakers were Sc
verely handled by the famishing popu-
lace. In the latter part Of Henry VI. s
reign the citizens purchased the ancient
fabric called Leadenhall, and under the
direction Of Sir Simon Eye it was con.
yerted into public granary.-Bakers'

"T HE winter term OF school al
Rocky Hill began hopefully
The new master, Professor
Spring as he was somewhat
grandiloquently called by the little
community, seemed to have excellent
control over his scholars, who worked
at their studies cheerfully and earnest
ly. The misgiyings concerning the
maintenance Of discipline which Super.
visor Griffin had entertained on ac-
count of the professors small size,
weak muscles and pale, spectacled
face, were apparently groundless.
The big boys, several Of whom
could easily have whipped the master,
were too good-natured to undertake the
task But the complexion Of affairs
was completely changed one crisp
morning in December, when Jotham
Horatio Negley came to school.
Negley was the bully Of the settle
ment. He was a big, raw-boned, dis
agreeable fellow, whose meanness
took the form Of coarse wit and cheap
practical jokes. He rode up to the
schoolhouse on the morning in ques-
ton, tied his "hoss-beast" to a limb,
and roared out at the top Of his voice:
Hold on, perfessorl I'll be with
ye in a minute! Don't We learn them
kids nothin' more till 1 git in tharr'
As he tramped noisily in at the door,
the dove Of peace which had brooded
over the Rocky Hill school may be i'm
agined as flying hastily out at the win.
dow.
Negley began making trouble at
once. He teased the girls, tormented
the boys, and was uniformly impudent
TO the master. Every form Of annoy.
ance which his clumsy wits could de-
wise he practised upon the school, un.
til it became as disorderly as a bear
garden.
The master found no sense of de-.
cency or love Of learning in Negley to
which he could appeal and he knew
well that an attempt to restore disci-
pline by physical force could only re-
suit in his own humiliation. He com.
planned to the supervisor but that Of
fetal was evidently unwilling to face
the town bully.
II caPlate yell have TO get along s

can't forbid Jotham to attend school
If he wants to go, and beln' there,
you'll have to do what disciplinin'
there is done. It's my business to hire
teachers, not to vhop scholars"
Matters therefore went from bad to
worse. One afternoon, some three
weeks after Jotham's first appearance,
as school was about to be dismissed,
the bully arose in his seat, and grin
ming cheerfully about him, said in an
absurdly squeaky imitation of Mr..
Springs shrill voice:

The number of Stock Exchange tick.
ers Is restricted and many ingenious
devices are used to repeat the official
figures witt. the least possible loss OF
time. To be sure, the figures may be
repeated over other tickers, and there
are several such services for sale
But this, however nimbly done, en-,
tails the loss of two or three minutes
at least.
By the time the belated figures ar.
rive an active stock is likely TO have
fiuctuated a dangerous distance. The
best substitute for an official ticker
is to repeat the figures by word Of
mouth over telephone, the circuit
being kept open throughout the entire
financial day.
The Wall Street man, during the
financial rush hours, requires more
waiting upon than royalty. AS the
general action moves more rapidly the
number Of employees increases in di.
rect ratio.
There are, for example, more mes.
senger boys to the acre throughout the
financial district than on any other
spot OF equal size in the world. Each
active trader on the floor Of the Stock
Exchange has from two to five assist
ants or messengers. In. every Office a
similar wealth in the number Of as
sistants is to be found, while the mum.
Der Of messenger boys OH call is also
unusual.
1t is estimated that there are from
eighty to one hundred special mes.
sengers available upon each acre of the
Wall Street district. The boy popula.
tion Of the Office buildings is rather
more than twice this. For every acre,
therefore. there are some $50 mes.
sengers. Imagine an acre lot filed with
250 boys. They would pretty com.
fortably crowd it.
1t is difficult to realize the extent
of the enormous daytime population of
the Wall Street district. 1t is crowd.
ed with great, intricate hives Of office
buildings, all Of which are densely
populated The largest Office buildings
in the world are to be found within
stones throw Of the Exchange, and
many of them have long waiting lists
of would-be tenants.
The natural congestion on the sur.
face is increased by the unusual mar.
rowness Of the streets thereabouts.
Many Of them, though lined with
twenty-story structures, are little
more than alleyways.
Should all the inhabitants Of the
great buildings on Wall Street. near
Broadway. chance, for instance, to
leave their offices at the same instant
there would only be standing room for
about one-fourth of them. In other
words, the population of Wall Street,
between Broadway and Broad street.
would be sufficient to fill the street
four times over. The fatal crowdlng Of
the famous Black Hole of Calcutta
seems trlfing by comparison.-New
York Sun.

There is a general belief that large
head means special ability. In a paper
read before the Royal Society of Great
Britain Professor Pearson gives the re-
suits of some statistical investigations
of Cambridge undergraduates and pub
lie school children which does NOT
support this popular notion. Among
both the Cambridge students and the
public school children there was no
observable connection between large
headedness and special ability, nor the
converse. OF course, where the yaria-
ton from normal size is excessive in
either direction, so as to constitute a
deformity, the intelligence is usually
extremely primitive.

The notion has long been held that
the mushroom presented the compost.
ton Of animal flesh, which led to it
being called the vegetable beefsteak." ;"
1t appears, however, that this conclu-
sion has been based on some analyses
made many years ago when analytical
methods were not so exact as they are
now, and when the chemistry of food
was not so we'll understood. In the
light of modern inquiry, there seems to
be no reason for believing that mush-
rooms possess any greater food value
than other ordinary fresh vegetable
foods, and in many respects they COM
pare unfavorably with them.

One Of the curiosities that the Agrl.
cultural Department has lately intro
duced in California is the tree tomato
which was brought from Peru. The
fruit is almost identical with the or.
dinary tomato, except that it grows on
trees. The sea-grape is another new.
conner lately introduced into Florida
from the West Indies. 1t grows in
barren sand, the fruit coming in large
clusters, pink in color and resembling
the apricot in taste. The jujube plant
OF the Orient is being grown more
and more extensively in Florida and
California. The fruit is excellent for
1ellies and promises to become a
staple.
