We're forwarded to the Department of
Pomology i'll the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington for examination.
Mr.. Robinson has received a letter from
G. B. Bracket. pomologist of the Blu
rcau of Plant Industry, in which he
says: II have carefully examined the
lemons and find that they are among
the best that l have ever received at
this Office. l am quite surprised to
learn that you are growing such fruit
in Texas. l find your lemon had very
thin rind, was very juicy. with sharp
acid. but little pulp, all of which so to
make up a frst-class lemon"
These lemons grew on trees which
came up from seed thrown out after
using lemons. 1t is a purely volunteer
tree from the seed and has had no spe-
cial attention. There are many of the
trees growing around Mr.. Kennedy'S
residence. and they bear full crop
each year. This ranch is about six
miles toward the coast from Sarita, on

Railroad, in the northern part of Cam

The Why of Poverty.

"Why are people poor?' was the
question discussed at Il recent meeting
of Il Newark womcn's club. The an

are Il few of them, boiled down:
Drink.

Inability to plan far ahead.

Lavish display of goods by store

Indifference of men to the needs of

Politeness of Mexican Children.

In Mexico group of lads from seven
to twelve will meet. and each boy will
decorously lift his hat and salutations
of extreme courtesy will be exchanged,
and then comes the boyish chatter, the
run and the laughter, the same as
everywhere. Boys here treat their
elders with respect. An old man
or woman is not the butt of the youth
of Mexico: rather, for the old people
are reserved the shadiest seats under
the trees in the parks. A Mexican boy
or girl on entering room walks around
among the company, shaking hands
with all, and on leaving the room does
the same. Courtesy is taught in the
public schools. There is no one jOstled
on the street; the best seats in the
horsecar are promptly given up to the
ladies. who never fail gracefully to ac-
knowledge the favor. 1 have never
seen Il Mexican gentleman fail to give
his seat to a woman. whether she was
richly or poorly dressed.-Rural Home.

Fourth in the World,

The average resident of Chicago now

zen of no mean city" Chicago's pop.
ulation at this time exceeds 1000. 900.
The canvass just now begun by tho
publishers of the Chicago directory is
expected 10 show 2.l00 900 inhabitants
or the basis of the census Of 1900.
which is believed to have been incor-
rect. Based on the census of 1890. il
is thought that it will show popula-
ton of upwards of 2.40O. 900. Averag-
ing these two estimates, the population
Of Chicago appears to be equal to that
of Manhattan and the Bronx. which is
estimated as being this year 2245. 900.
Chicago has grown to he as large as
the old city of New York without
Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond added
thereto. II is safe to say that she is
now the fourth city in the world in
population. coming after London New
York and Paris.
More creditable even than this rapid
development in population is the fact
that Chicago has made noteworthy
progress in municipal reform. and in

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. OAK, April l7.-Quite
a sensation has been created here by
the publication Of the story OF G. W.
Gray, who after a special treatment
for three months was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable. but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray, there is remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as little babe. My
wife and | searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that | would
be able to find remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that | should
try Dodd's Kidney pills. praise God
for the day when | decided to do so.
for this remedy met every phase OF
my case and in a short time was
able to get out OF bed and after few
weeks treatment | was a strong. well
man. Dodd's kidney Pills saved my
life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are GER
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.

GREAT NEW YORK SHOW.
Spectacular Wonders Of the New Hip
podrome.

The HippOdrome, New York's new
est and largest place of amusement.
was opened to the public April l2th. un-
der the management of Thompson Il
Dundy. Every one of the $500 seats
was taken, and wherever there was
standing space it was filled.
The performance began with the
spectacle. "A Yankee Circus on Mars"
| The first scene showed stranded
American circus about to be sold at
auction. 1t is bought by Marian,
who takes it to his planet and this
gives opportunity in the following
scene to show very elaborate stage set
tings.
Following the "Circus on Mars" came
a spectacular production of American
Civil War incidents. "Andersonville, IA
Story of Wilson's Raiders" In this
there was a battle scene, bringing
numbers of mounted men on the stage.

With mounted troops represented in

of the presentation of the battle made
a very effective scene.

their bedding with them and stayed
