Mr.. HiIIyer's BURGLAR Alarm.

Mr.. Hillyer was a heavy sleeper
He was man, also, with a chronic
fear of burglars. 1t was these two
things that led him to have the win
dow of his sleeping room equipped
with burglar alarm of the latest and
most approved description.
A few mornings after the device had
been installed he came down to
breakfast with a grin on his face.
Il had funny dream last night"
he said. Il dreamed that a burglar
raised my window and the alarm went
off, but he didn't seem to mind it. He
rummaged the bureau drawers, found
my watch and pocket book and Slip
ped out the way he came in. BY the
way" he added, 81 forgot to bring my
watch and pocketbook. I'll go and
get them"
He went upstairs and returned in a
moment with an entirely different look
on his face The watch and pocket
book were gone. 1t had not been a
dream.-Youths' Companion.

ConVicts Who Play Ball.

At this season of the year every
body thinks of base ball. Even the
prisoners in the Massachusetts state
prison at Charlestown, Mass, have
arranged a championship contest,
which is now being played out be-
tween eighteen teams drawn from the
various departments of the prison,
Games will be played regularly by the
convicts until the contest ends in
October.
The 'lifers" have a team of their
own, and SO have the choir and band.
The Colored prisoners boast of what
they call an tall-star aggregation. ="
Tailors, carpenters, shoemakers,
cooks, weavers, harness makers and
other workers in the several depart
ments of the prison have each their
own special team.
There are several men in the prison
who were well-nown base ball players
before they went behind the bars.
They coach the others with the re-
suit that the convicts play ball game
much above the average.

Mldwlnter Salad From Japan.

One of the products of japanese
farms which may become popular and
its cultivation profitable among the
nations of the west, is moyashi udo,
remarkable salad plant, which is
crisper than celery, possesses the COM
bined flavor of pineapple and young
lettuce, is devoid of fibers and comes
into outdoor maturity in midwinter.
1t is predicted by American scientific
agriculturists who have been in Japan
and noted the flavor, popularity, and
growing habits of the udo plant, that
it is destined to become as famous
and as important table delicacy in
Europe and America as asparagus or
celery.
The udo plant has been grown in
the United States purely as a rare Or
namental, as it was not supposed to be
edible. Now that it is known to pos
sess a value which promises to give
it an honorable place with asparagus
and similar dishes, its cultivation by
American truck farmers may prove
decidedly profitable. 1t is to be re-
membered that what gives the udo
distinctive value is that it natures in
the winter time. When served udo
salad is as white as snow, and lustrous
like k.-Booklovers Magazine.

ed long interview with Baron Haya-
shi, the Japanese minister in Lon
don, who is quoted as saying:
Before the war we demanded that

After the fall of Port Arthur our con-
ditions will be still more extreme and

yet more extreme.
THE next battle will be at Tie pass.
We shall continue hostilities through

famine Its fall would free $4,000
men, and enable them to reinforce
our northern army, but we do not need
them just now"
