Market All Winter.
A local market man declares
that in the present artificial de-
vel0pment of the delicacies, yege-
tables and fruit, which adorn the
table of the Weather people,
there is nothing "Out of season,
says the Boston Advertiser. The
application of the hot house prln-
ciple, all the way from the raising
of chickens to the growing OF
Strawberries, has made this pos
sible. There is neither winter nor

irons is concerned. This situa-
ton did not exist % years ago,
but the demand has made the sup

About Christmas time all the
fruits and vegetables which arc
out of season to the poor man, and
therefore beyond the reach of his

In many homes here Strawberries,
fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and
garden truck in general have been
as plentiful as though summer
were here. Around this city there
are several hundred acres of beds,
altogether, under glass, where
vegetables are raised.
Coils of steam pipes, the sun b.
day and the electric lights by
night, stimulate the growth. Of
course, the practical market gar
dener will declare that the best
fruit and vegetables of artificial
growth do not possess the flavor Of
those ripened slowly in the sun.

Bentonville to Get Main Line.

1t is reported that Bentonyille is
to have the new main line of the
Frisco railroad. The new main line
will leave the old one at some point
in Missouri south of Monet and
will bear southwest, passing west
of the Elkhorn mountains, going
through BentonvilIe and crossing
Benton county near its center and
Washington county through its cen
tral western portion, thus entirely
escaping Devils Eyebrow country
and the Winslon Tunnel and its adj
jaccnt mountains and leaving Rog-
ers several miles to the eastward.
This is the most feasible and practi-
cal route and presents no difficulties
as compared with the old route.

Low BelIing.

What used to be known as "low bell
ing" was formerly a common sport in
England and an effective method Of
capturing all sorts of birds which roost
on the ground, from larks to partridges.
Boys still sometimes amuse themselves
with it in the rural districts of Eng
land, and the peasants Of Spain and
the south of Europe make business
of 1t. The only necessary apparatus is
n large bell, like cowbell or dinner
bell, and lantern with a reflector to
cast bright ray Of light on the ground.
The fowler turns out on dark nights
and walks the fields ringing the bell
steadily and searching the ground in
front with the lantern. The noise or
the light. or the two combined, have
such an effect in dazzling or terrifying
the birds that they may be picked up
In the hand.

JOHN RusKN.
tome Characteristics of Ono of the
Most Interesting OF Men.

Ruskins kindness had its roots in
The essential sweetness of his nature.
Everything In life had conspired to
spoil him. He was often willful and
wayward aud extravagant, but the bet
ter elements of his being prevailed over
those which, to his harm, were to gain
power when he was released from the
controlling influence of his fathers
good sense and his mothers authority.
The extraordinary keenness of his per-
ceptlons of external things, the vivacl-
~ of his intelligence, the ardor of his
temperament, the immense variety of
his interests and occupations and the
restless energy and industry with
which he pursued them, made him one
of the most interesting of men. And
combined as they were with deep po-
etic and deeper moral sentiment as
well as with born desire TO give
pleasure, they gave to intercourse with
him charm which increased as ac-
quaintance grew into affectionate
friendship. His mind was indeed at
this time in a state of ferment. He
was still mainly busy with those topics
of art and nature to which his writings
had hitherto been devoted. But his
work in the field had led him into 9TH
er fields of inquiry, which stretched
wide and dark before him, through
which no clear paths were visible and
into which he was entering not with
out hope of opening way. Hence
forth his chief mission was that not
of the guide In matters of art, but of
the social reformer.-Charles Eliot Nor

Trees nnd Rainfall,

Some persons ask If trees affect rain

foresters differ but the large majority
are satisfied they do induce rainfall.

induce rainfall. 1t is certain they re-

that alone would affect the rainfall;
but the point on which all agree Is the
value of forests for the conservation
of water preventing floods or drought,

Why Popcorn Pops.

Why does popcorn pop? The depart
ment of agriculture answers the ques-
ton, which was propounded to 1t by
small boy. Popcorn pops by reason of
the volatilzation of the oil contained
In the kernal by heat. Field corn does
not pop because the outer portion of
the kernel is more porous, permitting
the escape OF the oil as 1t volatlzes.
while in the case of popcorn great
pressure is developed in the kernel by
the confined oil and the kernel is sud
denly exploded and turned wrong side
