WON BY ORDINARY TALK.
Lack of Arm Gestures and Conversa- tional Tone Wins Heart of
 Doubtful Maiden.


 Congressman William H. Jackson, of Maryland, was engrossed in discussing with number of colleagues the deca- dence of oratory, says the New York Her. aid. Sane people are not emotional 2 declared the congressman, "and the con- yersationai delivery of speech carries as much weight with an intelligent audience as does the effort of declaim- CT who indulges in brilliant periods with an arm-swinging accompaniment"
 You are right" said listener, "and your statement reminds me of young lady who had two suitors. Both men had about the same advantages and prospects, but gossip declared that the girl would decide in favor of the man who was lawyer, for he knew better how to present and win his case. Cos sipe erred; the lawyer was rejected. Later it was learned from a friend in whom the betrothed had confded her reason for her choice.
 Harry is convincing. but John ia just as convincing and does not have to move his arms every time he wants to say something"

BIG PROFIT IN PENTHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort Receives Nearly $2,OOO Day
 for Rooms Alone.

If you doubt that the nickel and quar- ter business doesn't pay, consider the money-making propensities of the aver age seashore bathhouse around New York, and make over your opinion. A representative bathing pavilion has 1,500 bath compartments. It costs 20 cents to rent one. On a medium hot summers day some $500 are derived from renting these rooms, for the com partments are used in the course of the day by about 4,000 persons. Bathing suits rent for 25 cents each. There would be 5000 of them for such pavil- ton. which means 1000 day if half of them are rented once; and it is fair to assume that three-fourths of the 4,000 bathers pay five cents for the use of a comb and brush-s150. A total of near ly $2,000, to say nothing Of the proceeds from restaurant, bar, barber shop and indoor baths.

BIG BEE RANCH IN FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City Harvests Third of Ton
 of Honey Season.

There is bee ranch with more than 100000 bees in the heart of one of the densest residence districts of San Fran cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior, prin- cipal of 8 public school, and is in the little back yard of his home. For ten years he has kept his bees there, has harvested about third of ton of honey each season and has been at no expense for food for his interesting and industrious pets. Although 1t is dis tance of two and one-half miles from the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park, the bees make the trip there, collect loads of honey and get back to the hive in two minutes, making bullet-liks flight at the surprising rate of 150 miles an hour. MT. Prior has demonstrated this by having an observer watch cer- tain bee-favored places in the park and exactly timing the arrival there of bees he purposely sprinkled with flour as they issued from hive. He has also kept time on the absence of the whitened bees.

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Romans Held Vegetable in High Es- teem Many Years Before
 Christ.

Of all food plants there is none which has been so long known or been pos sessed of so distinguished lineage as the asparagus. Its records reach back almost to the beginning of authentic his- tory, and it is mentioned by the comic poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B. c. The Romans held the vegetable in high esteem. The elder Cato wrote work which is still extant, De re Rustica, 2 and it treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, in his natural history, written about 50 A. D., has much to say about it. He feelingly observes "Of all the products Of your garden your chief care should be asparagus" and he devotes several chapters to its many good qualities and the best methods of raising it. He as- serts that the soil about Ravenna was so favorable to its production that three heads grown in that districtshad been known to weigh Roman pound. This pound seems to have been about equal to II ounces in our day, so it would ap- parently have taken four of the stalks to have reached pound of our weight. The asparagus being essentially a southern plant, 1t Is possible that the stock growing in Italy was of more vigorous growth than that of our north ern cline. It is found all around the shores of the Mediterranean and branches off into four or five distinct species besides the one ordinarily used for edible purposes.

health measure and for the benefit OF
the merchants. whose goods suffer great
