which have whitened the hair of his head.
exhibited roll OF notes and laid upon
the desk SII7o. the amount OF the fine
and costs imposed by Justice Loden. at
the Western Police Station. Baltimore,
for swearing vociferously on an Annap-
oils Short Line train which got into Balti-
more about after p. m. yesterday.
Mr.. Wright had not gone to Baltimore
because he wanted TO, but because he
had to. according to the conductor of the
train, MIR. John H. Flynn. Mr. Wright
boarded the train in Annapolis to ride to
a station few miles beyond. MIR. Flynn
testified. When they got within a few
miles of Mr.. Wright's station Mr.. Flynn
demanded a dime in addition to Mr..
Wrights ticket. which he said was short
TO carry him on.
"You won't get no dime from me, .
the farmer said
"But must. said the conductor.
"But Ill be - If you dol" again
responded the farmer.
The conductor did not, and he says the
farmer thereafter gave utterance TO such
continuous and violent flow of profanity
that, at Jones Station, it became neces-
sary to put him in the custody Of Special
Officer George Campbell. Patrolman Har-
rison took charge of Wright when the
train reached Camden Station.
"Me swear! Me swear !" he exclaim-
ed to the Justice, "Why, was never
known to swear. and do you think L d
begin it now, with my gray hairs I'm
going to have Flynn discharged. -
And he stalked out.

With their little red wrappers deco

and get most of their living by preying
on the destructive soft-bodied plant
lice, the most common of which
is the green aphis, which can commonly
be found on house plants and rose
bushes. The most striking example of
the usefulness of the lady-bug to the
horticulturists is seen in the case of
Vedalia cardinals, the bug which was
imported from Australia and which
saved the citrus trees of California by
destroying the cottony-cushioned scale
which was devastating the orange and
lemon groves. In the study of the
grain aphis it was found that a species
OF lady-bug preyed upon this pest. The
former were observed to go down among
the roots of the grain in the field In
search of the aphides, and to pass the
winter along with them in that situa-
ton. The larvae of the lady-bug also
live principally upon insects which are
destructive to garden and field crops.
The dainty lady-bug should never be
destroyed-Scientific American.

inflated by Arrest, 1t Is
Hard to Reform.

There is something terribly pathetic
in the statement made by Matron
Schmedding, at the Wayne county Jail,
Detroit, the other day. Speaking of
woman drunkards, she said:
when a woman hears the cell door
clang behind her because of drunken
ness, the chances are overwhelming
that she will come back rather than
reform.
The unhappy woman who comes
here through other causes may weep
softly, vow to live better, and on her
release go away to a life thereafter
free from sin, but for her enslaved
through drink there is little hope.
''She may spend her durance behind
iron bars in cursing the demon that
mastered her and vowing to shake off
its hold, but, once free, her troubles
lead her to the bottle again and again,
and we become familiar with her face
as regular time-server, until one day
the ambulance instead of the patrol
wagon answers the officers summons,
and she goes to fill pauper's grave"

POTATOMATO PLANT,
~ Bears Tomatoes Above and Pota-
toes Below and Is "A Triumph of
Grating Art

An anomaly in grating, being a plant
which is growing first-class potatoes at
the roots and bearing fully developed
tomatoes at the stalk, was brought
about by Prof Green, of the Minnesota
state school of agriculture, when he cut
off the young shoots of a potato vine
making V-shaped slit in the ton into
which he inserted a freshly clinned
young tomato plant, bound the Joint
with straw and supported it by long
rods. Nature did the rest.
The tomato drew sustenance from the
earth through the roots of the potato
and in return furnished what was re-
quired in the way of the action of light
and air upon it's own leaves to its adopt-
ed roots
The plant is now three months old
On pushing aside the earth several fair.
ly developed potatoes are shown each
a trifie larger than a large hens egg
From the vines a half-dozen tomatoes
are hanging, in different stages of ma
turity. Several have ripened and the
others promise to do so, as we'll.
The tomato vine loses its identity at
the place where the graft was made
There are no leaves at all suggestive
of the potato. The vine is fully three
feet high.-N. Y. Herald
