Mscaroni wheat.

THE product of macaroni wfea6 has
increased in three years from $4,000
to- 10OO0,0a0 bushels. The important
feature of the gram is that it is all
made in ahe dry regions of the coun-
hrv where other wheats do not thrive.
Macarons wheat has hard kernel
and is difficult to grind,. but whep
properly handled makes excellent
bread -four. It sells in some foreign
markets for about tho price OF other
wheat. Its popularity in the arid dis
tricts will enormously increase the
wheat crop there, and it's introductionz
is regarded as triumph for the de-
partment of agriculture. which brought
the seed fom Algeria few years ago

The Pygmies of Africa.

A German scientist has recently
brought out some interesting conclu-
sions in regard to the pygmy. race, of
which specimens are still met with in
the central part of Africa. 1t is prob
able that the pygmy races have exist
ed also in Europe. This conclusion Isl
arrived at from the examination of nu-
merous skeletons which have been
found in the region of Breslau, in ST.
Iesia Their height is considerably be-
low the ordinary average, being about
feet 8 inches, which represents the
mean figure for whole group of skel-
etons. HOLMAN describes the remains
of pygmies which have been found in
Switzerland. In this case the average
height reaches as low as A feet inches
Gutmann has described the pygmy re-
mains which were found in lower Al
SAGE. near Colmar. These are still
smaller and the height of many of the
specimens is but A feet. The pygmy
race must be considered as composed
of we'll formed specimens and not in
any way degenerate or patholog1c.
They seem to have persisted In Europe
until a comparatively recent epoch.
The pygmies of Silesia appear to have
been the contemporaries of the Ro-
mans and to have existed until the
year 1000 A. Indianapolis News.

When she got to the boarding house
that night late, hungry, tired, she was
ushered into the dim parlor; and there
she saw a manly figure standing very
stiff and quiet She knew it well. She
had more than once stamped her foot
at this same manly figure, and said
mo! No! MOI" to its soft and gentle
pleading. Now she stood silent before
him. The mans eyes were stern and
his lips were drawn into straight,
hard line. He put his hand on her arm
and placed her firmly in chair. Then
he said:
go to your room. You will please
go to your room and wash your face.
Pour the water from the bowl, and do
not throw the towel on the floor. Put
another hat on. Get q wrap Do not
forget clean handkerchief. Be sure
to lock your trunk. Be back here with

Meekly she obeyed. In the big hotel
dining-room the severe-looking man
opposite her ordered dinner without
word Of consultation. He ordered as
for child, and very humbly she ate
what he served to her Then he called

was not the kind of play she cared for
and she had seen it before. She was
pretty tired, too But she glanced at
him and decided not to speak. After
the play he led the way to a supper
room. He made light conversation,
and now and then smiled; but he or
dered things without parley. She won

lobster always made her very ILL.,; but
she did not tell him.
1t was very late when he left her in

He turned and looked back at her. She
seemed very small and wan; and he
came back and put his hands on her
shoulders, and when she looked up he
was smiling, but he tried to frown.

give the fortune teller a hint that he
is on the right track.
Many of the highest priced fortune
tellers uptown are men, and many of
their customers are men also. Men
sitters usually want business tips, the
masculine sex apparently having en-
! tire confidence In itself in it's love af-
! fairs.
One male fortune teller who is hay
ing considerable vogue at present is in
a side street just off Fifth avenue,
near the shipping district. He is %
Hindoo, and exceedingly handsome
and picturesque in his East Indian Co.'S
tune. He is evidently well educated,
for he speaks the best of English with
a most enticing accent. Rumor has it
that he was educated at Oxford uni
versity.
His manner is perfection; sympa-
thetic and friendly, without familiar
ity, and conveying to each sitter the
subtle suggestion that her case inter.
ests him particularly and profoundly.
His waiting room is carpeted with
Oriental rugs, draped walls and cell
ings, with East Indian stuffs, adorned
with quantity hideous images.
Daylight is excluded, and the place
is lit with one softly shaded Oriental
lamp; and a hint of some dangerous
Eastern odor hangs about the place.
The properties can all be obtained at
small cost within a few blocks Of the
studio, but they are skilfully arranged
and impart a sense of the unusual
Fortune tellers sometimes employ
impressive mind reading apparatus.
There is one, for instance, whom the
sitter finds sitting behind a machine
something like a telegraph instru-
ment.
He tells the sitter to write on a
slip of paper the question she wants
answered. This slip she rolls into q
little ball and holds in her hand.
The fortune teller places one of his
hands On hers and the other on the
machine. The machine Immediately
begins to click, though his hand re!
mains quiet, and sends out a little
strip of paper like ticker tape. On
this strip will be found the answer to
the question.
A sitter in pursuit of knowledge
tried this three times recently, and
in each case the answer was peril
nent, though not true. That is, it was
a reasonable answer to, the unrevealed
question. but in no case was it true
answer
For instance, the sitter placing the
paper on her lap under the table,
wrote: Twill Mary Gomez" Mary be-
ing a relative, visit from whom was
impending, but not certain. The ma
chine instantly licked out the re-
spGnse, Eyes, Mary will come" This
was certainly curious, but after all,
Mary did not come.
This is a good example of the start
ling things revealed by the high class
seeEs. All the remarkable revelations
are things which the sitter knows,
though he may not have told them.
AS soon as he asks something which
he does not know himself, the answers
are wild.

 THE BOXERS.
Joe Cans Beat Fitzgerald, Dave Sullivan Whipped Briggs and Austin Rice Was Beaten.

Detroit, Jan 13.-Joe Cans of Bal timore successfully defended the lightweight title against Willie Fitz- gerald of Brooklyn at the Metropolitan A. C., this city, last night. Tie bout was at 135 pounds for ten rounds, and Cans received the decision, the affair going. the limit Tim Hurst Of New York was the referee, and his verdict met with approval, The fight was live ly and punctuated with telling blows on each side.
 During eight rounds of the mill the negro had matters entirely his own way. He put Fitzgerald down twice and had his antagonist on the 90 re- peatedly But somehow he lacked the necessary steam to get home q. f. nal punch. which led the large crowd of sports present to believe tllat Cans had lost soae Of his former hitting powers
 In the fillal two rounds Fitzgerald showed to advantage. He staggered Cans in the ninth but his earlier ef- forts deprived him Of the required stamina to l;ly his adversary low and win. But ITitzgeralds work in these rounds gave rise to the impression that had the affair proceeded further he might have been victorious with q clean knockout as Cans was fast growing weak
