from Nagasaki. She was wearing a
white silk waist and silk skirt, and
was carrying a silk parasol,

marked. III you will take a plunge

Longworth. who was arrayed In q
blue. coat, flannel trousers and white
duokshoes, shrugged his shoulders
well. II you don't dare, I do" said
Miss Roosevelt. and before a dozen
members of the Taft party could pro-
test. Miss Roosevelt had tossed her
paTasol aside, and, dressed as she was,
lcaped into the tank.
Don't you take dare?" she shout
ca To Longworth as she arose to the
surface, and started TO swim as grace
fully as her bedraggled clothing would
allow. This bantering was too much
for the Cincinnati man. and he
plunged into the tank to help Miss
Roosevelt to steps. where they both
climbed up and out Of the water.

The snake had come upon a flock Of

that the snake, owing TO the bulge

less. He had but two witnesses; one
was large motherly woman who told
how she had cared for the little woman
when she was motherless orphan. The
other witness was the defendants pastor
who said he had "ministered to her
spiritual wants" on one or two occa-
sions.
After all the witnesses had been heard
the prosecutor made his appeal to the
Jury, heaping up the damning evidence,
it seemed almost needlessly high, and
wound up by warning the jury not to be
swayed by the innocent appearance OF
the defendant. ITS all sham," he
cried. "She is brazen and wanton
malefactor."
AS he shouted the last words, standing
almost directly over the small defendant
and shaking his big finger almost in her
face, she looked up at him for just the
fraction of a moment, while two big
tears started down her cheeks. Then
her eyes sought the floor again.
Her own attorney never mentioned
the evidence except in a general and
deprecatory way. His half hour was oc-

AS GEOGRAPHY is LEARNED
illustrated in the Lesson Answers Of
a Young Expert in the
Study.

Little Rob was the prize geographer
Of his class; that is. he could locate
cities and bound countries with great
glibness, says Success Magazine He
could draw the most realistic maps,
printing in the rivers, mountain ranges
and cities from memory. Rob consid-
cred geography purely in the light OF q
game, in which he always beat, but
he never associated it with the great
world ABOUT him. Rivers, to him, were
no more than black, wiggly lines;
cities were dots, and states were blots.
New York was green, Pennsylvania
was red and California was yellow. OF
course Rob had never travelled. He
was born in canyon near the coun-
try school he attended. One day the
teacher made the discovery of Rob's
idea Of geography through the follow
ing incident. After vainly inquiring
of several of the children where Brit
tsh Columbia is located, she called on
Rob, who, as usual, was waving his
hand excitedly, wild with the enthu-
siasm Of pent-up knowledge.
ut is on page 68," he declared.
After the roar had subsided. the
teacher explained that that was only

she asked Rob to bound British CO.

NEW YORK CABBAGE HEADS
Seed from the Empire State Produce
the Most Of Those Grown
Abroad.

Cabbage heads are mostly New York
ers-at least the vegetable variety in
seed form. From the summer land OF
California come the flower seeds.
There are more than 600 seed farms
In the United States devoted to the
production of vegetable, field crop and
flower seeds, some as large as 1000
acres. To scientific methods in seed
growing is credited much of the i'm
provement accomplished in many eco
nomic and ornamental plants, the most
careful selections being made from
year to year to the mother plants for
the next year. Immense quantities Of
farm and garden seeds are sent to
Europe, and extremely few, such as
fancy grass seeds, are imported there
from. OF clover and grass seeds hun
dreds of tons are annually exported,
Yankee clover being in especial de-
mand abroad. In most European coun-
tries are seed control stations, where
seeds are tested by simple, interesting
methods, much of it done by young
girls. There are 40 stations in Ger
many, which have created such SEN
timent for pure seeds instead Of adul-
terated that the best dealers gladly
submit samples of their merchandise
for proof of quality and guarantees.

Defects of the Census.

Undoubtedly the feeling was wide
spread among agents that the object
OF the census was not to ascertain the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, but rather to prove a
thesis. The moral tone of the agents
suffered depreciation even in a few
days, writes w. H. Allen, in Atlantic.
The sliding scale reigned supreme,
while the slowest and most ignorant
and most venal man on the staff was
permitted to set the standard of q
days work for Uncle Sam. The epi-
curean cynicism and abandon OF the
staff seemed to justify the warning Of
noted statistician to the writer: II
you ever expect to work with statis-
tics, the less you know of their origin
the better" The difficulties are num-
berless, but the count is in, and must
be used as effectively as possible.
Luckily, too, the original material is
in charge of skilled statistical experts.
BY minute and candid classification
the Inaccuracies may be weighted.
The priori reliable statistics may yet
be ssifted more carefully from the a
priori unreliable, and the possibility Of
building upon the inaccuracies of this
census in all future statistical compu-
tations may be minimized. A little
more time and expense in connection
with the analysis of statistics of man.
ufactures for 1900 will save much out
lay for the next census, and many mis-
takes in legislation and administra-
ton. It is manifestly poor economy
for congress to spend millions in col
lecting less complete statements than
circumstances permit. Perhaps 1t
might pay for congress to demand con-
fessions from various special agents,
to be used as hints to the experts and
stimuli to the permanent census bu-
