SALADS FOR MILLIONAlRES,
Long Island Gardener Who Makes
Business of Supplying
Them.

Somewhere on Long Island there Is a
gardener who has hit on a wonderful
idea. Anybody who has been to fair
and seen the exhibits sent by the mil
lionaires must have been anxious to
taste such vegetables. The gigantic
string beans, the onions, and above all,
the beautiful salads must have appealed
to the taste of the most ascetic spectator.
This gardener, reports the New York
Sun, hit on the idea Of supplying such
things to the tables Of those who could
pay high prices even if they could not af-
ford greenhouses. His specially is salad,
and all that he can raise is bought in an
uptown shop, whose proprietor weeps
that he cannot get more.
Chiccory is not highly popular salad
in this country, as it is likely to be Bit
ter. But chiccory from this garden is
sweet and tender. Every head, more
over, is five or six inches in diameter.
The center is entirely white and crisp,
and the pale green leaves about the edge
of the head make the plant appeal as
strongly to the eye as to the taste.
Equally attractive is the color scheme
of the escarole, from the beautiful white
hearts to the long crumpled leaves that
enclose them. The escarole is usually
six inches long and most Of 1t can be
eaten. which is contrast to the ordinary
escarole of commerce. Most of that must
be thrown away.
The endives, which are beginning to
be we'll liked here, are better from the
garden than from any other available
to the masses.
1t is the inability of this genius to
supply the demand for his products that
distresses the proprietor of this estah,
lishment. His failures In this direction
TALL heavily on those customers who
must depend on an extra large supply.
So many households leave standing
order for the salads that there is rarely
enough for the casual customer More
to be wondered at than the delicious
taste and attractive appearance of these
salads is the fact that they cost only a
few cents MORE than those in the oFdinn=
airy shops

THE MEMORY OF MANKIND.
Recurrence Of Facts Accounted For by
Austrian Savant on Theory
of Periodicity.

rs the result Of many experiments
Dr. Swoboda, an Austrian savant, has
formulated a new theory To account for
the tricks Of memory. the way in
which recollection of bygone events
will fash into the brain without ap-
parent cause.
DR.. Swoboda's suggestion ID that
such souvenirs have a tendency Of
their own tolrecur at the end of stated
period. One such period is % hours.
Thus, 2S hours after the brain has been
impressed with the idea, melody, a
picture, or an event, 1t returns invol-
UNFAIRLY. Longer periods may elapse
before the return of the memorized
fact, but DR.. Swoboda finds that they
are multiples of 23-such as 4e, SO, 90,
and so on.
These figures refer only to the
pralns of men. Women's brains move
more quickly, and recollection comes
back In periods of IS hours and null
tiples thereof. Dr. Swoboda explains
this curious recurrence of memory by
the oscillation which the organism un-
dergoes-an oscillation which is quite

Birds That Save,

SENT TO HOSPITAL BY YAWN
Philadelphia Dislocates His Jaw
bone When Man Tells Funny
Story-Repeats often.

Philadelphia = William Brown
yawned himself into the Pennsylvania
hospital again. For one hour he kept
the physicians busy holding the jaw
bones in place.
It seems to be habit with Brown to
yawn at the slightest provocation. When
he hears an amusing story, he yawns,
and presto! his jawbone is dislocated.
When he is bored he gaps" and To-!
more work for the doctors!
Several times Browns jawbones have
been set by physicians of the Pennsyl-
vania hospital, who call him the man
with the flexible Jaw"
Brown heard another funny story.
"Hol Ho! Ho!" he laughed and yawned;
the best ever. shall die laugh"
Suddenly he seized his hat and made for
the hospital After the bones were re-
set for the second time, Brown left the
institution, vowing he would never
laugh again.

~ Courtiers in Calico.

Probably the simplest court livery in
the world is that worn in the royal pal
ace of Korea. The emperor's servants
are all dressed in garments and head
gear of red calico, easy to make and cost
ing little. There is practically no state
at the palace, but the Korean ruler IS
treated with the deepest respect. His
person is considered sacred; to touch
him is sacrilege, and the punishment Of
sacrilege Is death. If the emperor
touches a subject that person also be-
comes sacred. 1t is not lawful to speak
his name except in a whisper, and only
after death may his portrait be painted,
and then it will be worshiped by his
subject.

CALIFORNIA MAY HAVE RAND
Gold Deposits Similar to Those In
South Africa May Exist
In the State.

The Rand. mines in South Africa are
the most extensive gold mines opened
up in modern times. The ore bodies
were condemned during the first work,
ings by many old California miners
because the formation was new to
them and not we'll understood. How
every, says the Portland Oregonian,
the yield Of gold steadily increased
and some of the best mining engin-
GERS of the world made exhaustive
studies Of the formations.
In the end the theory was generally
accepted that these vast gold deposits
were formed on the seashore frem the
eroded washlngs of mountains. rich in
auFifereus quartz ledes. Subsequent
volcanic forces, it is presumed, ele-
waited this ancient seabeach several
thousand feet above the present sea
level.
The gravel beds and beach shingle.
are found undisturbed, much the same
as originally deposited, but age now
hard cohglomerate, requiring dynamite
to break up the gravel beds and crush
ing in stamp mills TO obtain the geld,
which is as fine as -four, and the yield
is s70,000,e00 to SS0,000,000 yearly.
Ne very extensive marine gold de
posits have yet been found on this
continent. Gold Bluff and rort Oxford
attracted some attention many years
ago, but no volcanic action had ele-
waited the beach and miners could not
follow the paying sands into the sea.
Cape Nome IS the most extensive sea
shore deposit yet mined for geld on
the Pacific ceast,
Some attention Is now being given
to the valley of the Sacramento, which
most of the geological works published
in late years describe as once having
been the bed of a great interior sea.
That sea washed the foot of the
Sierra Nevada mountains and its bed
is composed of the washings therein
of the debris of the eroded mountains.
Several hundreds of millions Of gold.
that did not reach this interior sea
has been recovered by miners on the
slopes and deep-worn water courses of
the Sierras. That would seem to be
an extensive pnpr9spected field, favor
ably situated for seashore deposits of
gold being found in paying bodies,
II development work should be start
ed on that line the results will be
watched by many old California min
ers with deep interest These now
grizzled relicts of '49 and so had no
means then of reaching below these
water levels and with them died out
much Of that lHdemitaple spirit of do
ing all that man may dare in develop
ing the unknown when gold was the
prize aimed at.

Rnssia,s unlearnsd Lesson.


No persons are better aware than
those who live under free forms Of gov
eminent. either republican. democratic
or monarchical, that all the Virtues do
not necessarily pervAds communities
literally governed. But that no other
system IS possible for peoples who have
arrived at a certain grade Of intelligence
IS proved by experiments emily by some
metbed OF representation and selt-gev.
ernmeAt can be avoided condition Of
cruel repression above and Of misery
and unrest below Only thus can hui
mainly work out its own salvation.
With japan following successfully tRs
direction of freedom and progress, 1t is
not in the nature of things that Russia
can long linger in the region of night
mare and chaos. The emperor and pee
pie Of Russia have other lessons than
those Of war to learn from the emperor
and people Of Japan.=6eRtury.

Lakes Which Disappear.

1t is 'dificult' to Keep pace with the
physical changes in Central Africa:
In 1863 Livingstone discovered Lake
Shirwa, a body Of water about 30 miles
long and is miles wide, short dis
lance to the southeast of Lake Nyassa.
It has now entirely disappeared, with
the exception of a few ponds in its
bed. Lake Nyami, discovered about
the same time, has also disappeared.
The cause of this change appears to be
q gradual drying up Of bodies Of water

Man Grows Shorter.

At the Paris Academy Of Science a
curious case of osteomalachia, or soft
ening of the bones, was expounded by
means of radlograms. The patient,
who was originally five feet four inches
in height, had shrunk by degrees to
three feet two inches in the course of
ten years. Cases of this kind have al
most invariably ended fatally, but the
patient now in question is in fairly good
health, though there is no possibility
of him regaining his former height.

Many children now have gardens,
 and it is felt that every. girl and boy should have little plot which they can, call their very own. Parents can
 assign a garden plot to each child, and
 provide money or means of earning it,
 so that the children can buy seeds.
 They can further help by telling how
 the soil should be prepared, how the. seed should be sowed, and how the. little plants should be cared for. Some. will gladly buy the fresh vegetables
 the children, rather than get them lat the stores. .~, ''!1's's~'a''s,, ,,s'ss,sssss
