W. J. Arkell, formerly publisher OF
Judge and Leslie's Weekly, tells this
story apropos Of Mr.. Joseph Pulitzers
gift to Columbia university:
when Joseph Pulitzer came to New
York to take the World out Of the
hands Of William Hurlbert and Manton
Marble he invited notable company to
dinner on the evening after the first
paper was issued under his manage
ment. The party included, as nearly as
! can remember, John A. Cockerill, who
afterward died In Alexandria, Egypt,
while in the service Of the New York
Herald; Ballard Smith, who was for a
time managing editor Of the Sun;
Charles Brooks, the criminal lawyer;
John r. Fellows, the talented district
attorney, and others whose names
cannot now recall. Instead Of taking
them to Delmonico's, where they all
expected to go, Mr.. Pulitzer conducted
them to Hitchcock's famous beanery,
then occupying a cellar on the spot
where the Pulitzer building now stands
Said he as he ordered beef and beans
and 'sinkers' and coffee for the whole
party:
Gentlemen, when the Princeton
or Harvard graduate coNes to New
York to enter journalism he dimes first
at Delmonico's and ends up at Hitch
cocks. We will begin, with your per-
mission, at Hitchcock's, and we hope
/ to end at Delmonicos.'

when describing the work done by him.
self and his colleagues Of the British
New Guinea mission on the north
coast. This part Of the world was
twelve years ago inhabited by race of
dangerous cannibals.
Stirring times were the lot of the
first missionaries who went out and
often the bishop or one of his assistant
clergy, landing on lonely part of the
beach, was Immediately surrounded
by hundreds Of chocolate colored saw
ages whose barred teeth cleaned no less
omnously than the huge spears which
they carried.
On one occasion the bishop Of New
Guinea had his whaleboat wrecked or
the coast and lost everything. He and
another clergyman laid their wet clothe:
on the beach to dry in the sun. Pres
emily they saw q crowd Of savages
watching them, and, fearing mischief
they dressed and wal ed boldly toward
the crowd, which slowly dispersed. II
was afterward learned that the boat
had been watched and a great feast
planned, in which the bishop and cler
gyman were to be eaten.

than a march.

Several medical men were discussing
queer phases Of their profession when
the subject Of twins came up. ut La
generally believed by both the lsity

B. A. Hoover Of Wrightsville, who was
one Of the party, that where twins or
triplets are born they have unequal
chances to survive in the race OF life
on account Of having been unequally
endowed by nature with physical
strength. A notable exception to this
was proved the other day near York,
when the last one Of triplets died at the
age of eighty-six years. the two others
having died two and six years ago.

married to Henry Quickle. This nota-

ORIGIN OF THE TOMATO.
There Is No Record OF a Time When
1t Grew Wild.


The tomato is native Of South
America and more particularly Of Peru
and the Andean region. The Indian
name for it is "tumatp and the Spanish
name tomato" When the Spaniards
arrived in the sixteenth century they
considered nothing of much Importance
except silver. But in 1888 they took
some tomatoes home with them as
matter Of curiosity, little dreaming
that there would some day be more
silver in them than there was In all
the Peruvian mines. There is a gen.
eral impression that until sixty or
seventy years ago the tomato plant
was universally regarded as poisonous
weed and that its handsome fruit was
called the love apple" and never cul-
tivated except as something pleasant
to look upon. But this story Is incon-
sistent with itself. The tomato was
called the "love apple" for the reason
that 1t was believed to be an aphrodis-
lac. or excitant of amorous feelings.
But it could not even be suspected of
such a property unless 1t had been
habitually eaten. The truth is that
there is no record Of time when in
South America the tomato was not
an article Of food. There Is indeed no
record of a time when 1t grew wild.
When the Spaniards reached Peru they
found nothing but the cultivated to-
mato, which was cultivated for food.
They took a fancy to 1t and took it to
Spain, from which place it found Its
way in 1896 to England.
