rfcuitural Department to Star man this

Common garden peas are hardy and may
be grown in an ordinary tumbler FIJI the
tumbler with water and tie over the top
OF 1t q piece of coarse netting such as is
used BY milliners. Cover this net with
peas and stand in a dark place for three
days. Then take the tumbler to the win
dow where the sun can reach it and in q
short while roots will be seen working
their way down into the water, and in a
short while the vine will be ready for train
ing. Morning glortes grow rapidly and
are the simplest kind of vines for the

them in should be obtained from a florist,

WON HEAVILY FOR A WHILE.
Then Luck Turned and the Pencilers
Got EVERYTHING.

THE government printing office produced
one OF the most successful hitters Of the
race bookies ever knew" said local
Dookmaker to a Star man. 1--WE were then
doing business out at 7th street and
Florida avenue, and I have known that
Fellow to come out there and clean us out.
He didn't have any system-nearly all
players have-but no seemed to go it blind,
and he made US hit the ceiling more than
once. 1t looked to me as though he
couldn't pick out loser II he had tried.
To him it was just like finding money
and for months I do not think he lost
single dollar he placed. I noticed that he
always came alone: had little or nothing
TO say: never drank. and no matter how
many hundreds he pulled in from us he
kept his nerve. Thp3i fact is, Berry got to
be a regular hoodoo for some Of our best
customers. and they refused to put up
money on their pibknSs when that lucky
printer was around ffg:- =
we generally find tout all we can about
such lucky fellows. and we got man in
the big printery to look up George and
make report. We found that he was
saving wood and saying MISUNDERSTANDING
his tremendous run OF luck to himself. He
put in every hour he could setting type
and only left the ONCE time enough to get
out to the pool rooms. Naturally we knew
he would get to the eiid of his row. and
he did. too. in great shape. One day he
placed fifty to win 3 couple Of centuries
and his nag failed to- land. He was just
the least bit nervous. and in the next race
he made very heaVy bet. and 1t went our
way. too. To make al long story short.
Berry lost his winniAgsin a gallop and was
soon down to dollar plays. Nothing came
his way, and in a few weeks the poor fell
low had every cent out of bank and it ali
went. When his money was gone he COM
pletely lost his nerve, lost his job, and
remember reading in The Star about his
disappearance: He turned up after manv
months. but I am told by parties that he
has never recovered the terrible back-set
he got at the pool rooms on 7th street.
Georges big and long run of successful
betting Is often referred to by men in the
office who play the ponies. In all my ex-
perience have never known anything to
equal 1t. nor have ever seen money won
back more rapidly

FEW TO BE SEEN NOW
THE AMERICAN WILD PIGEON
HAS ALMOST BECOME EXTINCT.
Curator Ridgeway Of the Smithsonian
Says That Many Inquiries Are Re-
ceived Concerning the Bird.

What has become Of the millions of wild
pigeons which once infested the country"
repeated Curator of Birds Ridgeway of the
Smithsonian Institution today in reply to a
query from a reporter of The Star on the
subject. "The question Is not only impor-
tant to sportsmen. but ornithologists have
of late years become greatly interested in
the subject A short answer to the Ques-
ton is that the wild pigeon has become al
most extinct In this country. Thirty years
ago. or more. wild pigeons were so plenty
and committed so much damage to newly
sown wheat that they became great nui-
sance. The air. at times. was darkened
with their flight, and once heard my
father say that at one time he had known
them to be so numerous in certain parts of
Ohio as to shut out the sunlight for three
DAYS at a time.

INDIAN HUNT IN WASHINGTON.
It Was Conducted by Experts Of the
Census Office.

Ever hear about the chase after seven
Indians we had here in Washington about
a year ago?'' asked a census clerk Of
Star reporter? Didn't? Well. it was a
lively skirmieh with no bloodshed but con-
siderable outlay OF money. Goodness knows
how much actual cash 1t did cost before
the red DEVILS SO called. were safely
landed.
ut was this way: The population divls-
ion had everything in shdpshape for the
publication of tables showing the number
OF Indians and their reservations. The
copy was in the hands Of the printers, and.
as the boys say. they were just eating 1t
up when a courier was sent post-haste to
the printing office to give orders to saw of
on the work at once. When such orders
reach the printing office they are carried
out without any questions being asked. All
that Is wanted Is to know that the orders
are from the executive head, and that Is
sufficient. Some keen clerk, after the copy
had been sent to the printers, discovered
that in the grand total of Indians seven Of
them could not be accounted for-they had
got lost. misplaced or showed under in the
great mass OF figures and tabular work.
The fact was reported to the chief of the
division. and as soon as he could satisfy
himself that 1t was true he ordered work
on the printing to cease, and at the same
time announced that the seven Indians had
to be accounted for. Experts were called
in, and the work Of revising and verifying
the immense and complicated reports be-
gan The Indians were chased from one
state and one reservation to another. when
they would suddenly disappear and get
mixed up with the other Indians In such a
manner that they could not be identified
Day In and day out the work OF chasing
these seven Indians continued In the Office,
and while effort was made to keep quiet
the Indian shortage the facts leaked out.
and a good deal Of fun was poked at the
population division about its losing seven
Indians. It was announced that the work
would not proceed until the red men were
safely landed In some reservation. and the
tabulating and calculating machines kept
up merry clicking. while deft fingers ran
over columns OF figures. Those most deeply
interested-the clerks responsible for the
shortage-worked before hours and after
hours, and 1t was long time before the
missing Indians were accounted for.
1T was an expensive chase, but the GEN.
sus official having charge Of the work said
1t was accuracy which was to be consid-
cred. and not cost Even now some Of the
population people turn red when anything
Is said about the poor lost Indians"

The Spread Of Base Bali.

There is hardly a part Of the world in
which base ball is not popular today and
from one side Of the globe to the other
base hits in true American style are made
every day." said one Of the clan to Star
man at the Raleigh American sportsmen
have introduced the game wherever they
have Travelled. The game has recently
taken root in old Mexico. where there is a
league of four clubs composed of Mexican
and American players. Two games are
played every Sunday and the attendance
Is always large. In Manila base ball is all
the rage. while in PARKWAY South Africa
the residents leave of picking diamonds
long enough each day to engage in the
Great American pastime Take, up the
Honolulu papers and you will see as much
space devoted to the game as is found In
the average American daily"

Profit in Peanuts.

1.-THE peanut has been found to be very
profitable crop and many Virginia farmers
have made fortunes out of it," said G. H.
Haines Of Norfolk to Star man at the
Metropolitan. THE market Is sure and the
expense of planting. harvesting and ship
ping Is by no means great. Peanut vines
yield abundantly as rule. but If each
vine on an acre yields only a pint the yield
of the acre is seventy-five bushels. Often
a vine will yield quart, SO you can see
what the profit Is.
You would be surprised at the many
names given this popular little vegetable
In the south 1t Is frequently called the pin
DER some times spelled 'pinda.' In Georgia
it is known as the 'goober.' while in our
section many call 1t the ground pea"

Output Of the Maine Forests.

Nearly one billion feet Of logs will be
the output of the forests Of Maine ere this
season ends" said T. B. Gravely Of Port
land to a Star man at the Riggs House.
More logs will be RATED this spring than
in any one year since 1872. OF these logs
over half are spruce. a large number of
which will be used by the pulp mills. the
remainder going into lumber. The snow
is fast disappearing. making plenty of
water in the rivers for rafting and the
roads are in fairly good condition for haul
ing The cost Of harvesting this vast
quantity of timber was in the neighborhood
of four million dollars, and nearly
twenty thousand men have been en-
gagged, while in the neighborhood Of five
thousand horses have been used in the
work. Good prices are all the lumbermen
want now to make 1t one Of the most pros
porous years known in Maine for a long
time"

In everyday life. in matters where mental

that woman is mentally inferior to man7

The Essential Feather.

From the London Ladys Magazine.
Not woman, whatever her station,
would consider herself sufficiently bedecked
who carried no feather in her adjoining. At
court it Is law, and in the lowest of al
leys and siums 1t is paramount to every
thing. In mean streets 1t Is even more
worshiped than elsewhere.

rACLEY OF VAL 3.
He Upho!ds College Men Who Become
Scabs and Strike Breakers.

Some Yale students took the place
Of strikers in New Haven. and Presi-
dent IiadIey when asked by the work
ingmen to eXp0stulate with the youths
replied that every man has a cOnsti-
ulional right to work for what ne
can get.
So has every man including any
student at Yale. the constitutional
right to get out on the campus and
express his opinion Of the president
OF that seat Of learning. Suppose a
student really should stand before
the institution and make a speech TO
his fellow undergraduates saying
that the head of the university is a
person Of small caliber and narrow
sympathies. subject to all the preju-
dices of the eminently respectable
but not very human Mugwump, what
would President Hadley be apt to do
to him? Would he accept as all suffi-
cient the disturbers plea that the
constitution guarantees the right of
free speech or would he hold that a
boy Of so critical a mind and rebel
liOus a temper ought to be expelled
for the good of the university.
President Hadley no doubt regards
with severe disapprOval all persons
who encourage the poor to be discon-
tented with their lot, to contrast it
with that of the more Fortunate ana
so fOment class jealousy and class
hatred.
But what can be more certain to
do that than to spread the belief
among the poor that the colleges are
| hostile to them in telling and inte-
rest?
When the anthracite coal miners
began their long strike last summer
| the news dispatches recorded that
not a few young men from various
universities had volunteered 10
serve as strike breakers in q number
Of capacities. If they were rebuked
or even advised against this course
| by their preceptOrs are fact was not
made public
| President HALEY has no legal right
Of course, to forbid any student from
working where or at what he pleases
but President Hadley's position does
give him the right to counsel the
young men under his charge that
| they do i'll when they take sides with
capital against labor and thus cult
vate among the wOrkingmen anG
among themselves the notion that
college men are an aristOcratic class
The sure tendency of the notion is
| TO make snObs of students and tC
breed enmity toward the colleges
among the wage earners, who, al
though President Hadley may no.
hold them in high esteem, constitute
the great body of the American PEG
