.Japan'S Grand Old Man.

Marquis Ito. who was recently
stoned by a Japanese mob, is of com.
paratively humble birth. His father
Juzo Ito. was a rustic gardener. Mar
quis Ito first went to Europe, stow.
ing himself away in a bale of silk on
board a ship bound for Liverpool. He
was concealed in this bale for 36
hours, until he was discovered by one
of the ships officers. The reason for
his leaving Japan was that he desired
to escape the vengeance of the Con
sentative party of that country, which
resented his more advanced views and
attempts to adopt Western manners
and customs in Japan. He is now
said to be the most Western japanese
in the O%ccident, and spends probably
five hours a day reading European
newspapers and magazines. Yet, with
all. he is said to be the poorest Prime
Minister in this worlds goods, either
actual or retired in the world.

this is accomplished, she will indeed
fee that her success is complete.
A little more than n ear ago some
interested friend of Miss Alexander
sem her on her journey to London,
armed with letters to prominent mem
bers of the social world there. one
of these was to the famous Mrs. John
Mackay, who became her social spon-
sor, and practically made the clever
little girl from Tennessee h toast or
London drawingrooms.
Miss Alexander has never been on
the stage, hut from her old nanny
in the south, and n score of servants
who had once been in her family, she
learned the real plantation melodies,
learned to sing them as only a girl
who spent her early life in the e a
south could sing them. She learned TO
initiate the old darky in all his quaint
characteristics and her triumph was
declared complete when h moved a
fashionable audience to tears by her
touching recital of a little negro poem.
W. S. Gilbert, author of "Pinafore,"
advised her strongly to go in for
emotional acting. and Lady Bancroft,
one of the shining lights of the Lon
don social world, and herself q talent
ed actress, offered to coach the young
American girl in the role of Juliet If
she would study for the stage.
Lady Ludlow recently lent her
splendid mansion in Portland Place
for a recital by this talented American
girl for which the social world of
London cheerfully paid So a ticket.
Her services are constantly in demand
and with Mrs. Mackay and other in
fluential women to sand sponsor for
her, his little girl from Tennessee is
adding fresh laurels to her crown.
And now she is to appear before the
King and Queen! The command"
which has been sent to Miss Alex
ander is the same as that which goes
to every artist whom King Edward
and Queen Alexandra wish to hear.
II is in reality an invitation, but is
called a Command for the reason
hat an invitation from the King or
Queen brooks no declination and is
therefore,. in a sense, obligatory.
Miss Alexander breathes the life of
the south in all her work and no
amount of persuasion will induce her
to give it up for a stage career. She
is taking into London drawing rooms

Texas Sulphur Deposits.

Texas, a State which claimed the at.
tention OF the whole country as a cat
tie State. and as a petroleum State,
will probably soon become remarkable
as a sulphur State. In the trans-Pecos
country in Ell Paso county, north of the
Texas Pacific Railroad, biologists com
pute that there are ten million tons of
40 per cent. native sulphur ore avail
able and almost in sight. The sulphur
area which has been explored and sur
yeyed covers about ten thousand acres
and the deposit has an average thick.
ness of nine and one-half feet. 1t has
been recently reported that this sui.
phur field has been bought by Illinois
capitalists, who have associated with
them in the enterprise a number OF
European capitalists. At present nc
railroad is near the deposits, the near
est station being Toyah, twenty miles
to the northwest. The intervening
country presents no obstacles in the
way of railroad construction, the
grades being low.
1t Is calculated that the United States
annually consumes 500,0 900 tons of sui
phur. Much of the sulphur used in
the United States is imported from
Italy, the tonnage brought in from that
country varying from 100, 900 to $50, 900
tons a year. The American State which
leads in the production of sulphur is
Louisiana, but a vast amount of sui
phur is obtained from the pyrites
mines in Louisa county, Virginia. 1t
is said that the visible supply of sui
phur is sufficient for the requirements
of trade for the next twenty years.
The sulphur trade of the world is prac-
tically monopolized by the Anglo-Sicil-
ian Sulphur Company, Limited, of Lon.

IT PAYS TO DRESS IN STYLE.
Stirring Adventure of the Hon.Augus-

Things went very hard the other
day with the Hon. Augustus Browne,
of Cleveland, Cnio. AS MIR. Browne
stepped off a street a during the
busiest hour of the day and at one of
the most crowded localities in Cleve-
land. his well-made trousers caught
on the lower step-it seems that some
of the iron work was loose. Stimuli
t~aneously, the conductor started the
car, and the Hon. Augustus Browne
at once sat down upon the Belgian
blocks in a shocking manner. More
over, the Hon. Augustus kept
right along with the vehicle, towed
by the left leg of his expensive trous-
ers, and presenting Il picture of unus-
ual distress and CONSERVATION. What
made it worse was the fact that the
spectators on the sidewalk were dis
posed to be disrespectful. Mr..
Browne expostulated against the treat

course, in a perfectly dignifed way,

4 NEW EASTER LILY.
Crossing the Bermuda Flower with a
Philippine Species Is Successful.

If the expectations of the Depart
ment of Agriculture are realized with
experiments now going on, the price
of Easter Lilies will be much lower
next year. This will enable persons
who have been obliged TO deny them
selves the luxury of an Easter Lilly, to
purchase this beautiful flower with
out laying themselves open to the
charge of being extrayagant. The
high price of this spring flower is
caused through the long growing
season of the bulb before it bursts i'll
to bloom. From the time the bulb
of the Bermuda lily is planted until
it is i'll full bloom Is Il period of live
to seven months. Florists usually
plant the bulbs in September in order
that they may be ready for the com
ing Easter. They have always been
studying the flower with a hope of
shortening the time of growing, for,
i'll greenhouses, time and space are al
Il premium, and any shortening there
of represents Il decided gain.
The Bureau of Plant Industry OF
the Department of Agriculture early
last year took up this problem and
imported from the Philippines a lily
resembling the commo Easter lily III
size and color, though it bears usually
only one, but at times two flowers td
the plant. Its chief virtue, however
lies in the fact that its growing sea
son is but two to three months. This
lily the department has crossed witt
the common Easter lily, and the re
suit has been a hybrid, bearing rs
many flowers as the old Bermuda lily,
with no difference in appearance from
this plant, except that the hybrid will
develop in four or five months, rep

Starting in Early.

One year the gardener told me that
the rose bugs threatened to work de-
struction among my choice roses. So
| hit upon the idea of hiring my two
youngsters to pick them off and de-
stroy them ten cents a. hundred
bugs. This worked beautifully for a
short time, until suddenly there came
a devastating horde of the pests. Dick
grasped the situation at once and sal
lying forth invited his friends to as
sist, at five cents per hundred, sub
contracting, as it were, while he did
the bossing and pocketed the profits.

Land Law.

Land Law.
Two pieces of public land legisla-
ton which engaged the attention of
Congress last winter were the 64O-
acre, or square-mile homestead bill,
and the lieu land timber bill.
The former was defeated the latter
was passed, both properly. Under
the 6i0-acre bill it vas sought to in
crease the 160-acre homestead entry,
covering some twenty million or more
acres of land in South Dakota and
Colorado, to $40 acres, the claims be
ing that the land was not sufficiently
productive to support a family on 16O
acres, and that $40 acres would be Il
proper unit. A similar bill was also
introduced TO include the lands of the
entire state of Montana.
These measures were vigorously
opposed on the ground that 6I0 acres
were either too much for a farm OF
else not large enough for. stock graz
ing exclusively, and also on the
ground that the agricultural Capable
ties of this, or in fact, any part of
the west are not thoroughly under

last, Mr.. Brownies suspenders gave
way with a mighty snap, and their
owner was left sitting in the street,
with the al vanishing into the dis
lance, and the trousers flying wildly
from the lower step.
Naturally, the Hon. Augustus
Browne couldn't sit there in the mid
die of the street indefinitely. Already
he a narrowly escaped a garbage
cart and two short-haired ladies on BIZ
cycles. So he arose and took q look
around. Excepting the loss of a pair
of beautifully-creased trousers and a
large assortment of abrasions, which
would perhaps cause him to take his
meals at the mantelpiece for a week
or SO, Mr.. Browne was in pretty fair

whole lot in a silk hat, frock coat

the gentleman's rapid transit over the

and otherwise.
On the whole it is a question in
Cleveland whether Mr.. Browne should
attempt to collect excessive damages
from Hon. Thomas Johnson, the inno-
cent owner of the car line.

dagger bayonets. Officers carried
sword, revolver and field glass. The
