Honestly. do you believe that have as
much talent as Frederic Soulie?'

answered his unsuspecting companion.
"Why. you have twice his literary ca
pacity."

'Twice as much, according to you.

Better er--better."
"Thank goodness, our opinions coin
eide. And now, since my novels are
worth twice as much as those of Fred
eric Soulie and Eugene Sue, demand
in common justice to be paid double
what you pay them for theirs"
There was nothing to be said, says
one Of Balzac's biographers. The un-
fortunate publisher had been trapped

JOBS TEARS.


Seeds That Are Used For Food and
Ornament In India.
A seed much used for ornament is
that which bears the popular name Of
Jobs tears. The old bOtanist Gerarde
thus describes 1t: "Every graine re-
sembleth the drop or tear that falleth
from the eye" There are, however,
now three or four well marked forms
Of this seed met with In India. which
differ from each other In shape, color
and degree Of hardness and In the pres
snce or absence Of grooves or burrows
along the length or the hardened in
yolucer.
DR.. Watt Of Calcutta thus enumer-
ates them: There are three types of
shape-a long cylindrical or tubular, q
normal pear shaped condition and a
flattened spheroidal form. The cylin-
drical grain Is always Of white col
or. smooth. polished. not furrowed. but
CONSTRUCTED toward both extremities.
This Is collected for ornamental pur-
poses only and not as an article for
food. The pear shaped form varies In
size and color. being pale and blush
white. gray. yellow or brown black.
The fattened spheroidal kinds are Of
ten yellow or even pink
The two principal forms are: One
almost round and either white or black.
This form Is sometimes, though less
frequently, used for rOsarles and Orna-
mental purposes, but chiefly for food
among the hill tribes Of India. The
second form Is tubular, about half an
inch long. This is extensively employ
ed for decorative purposes. the dresses
worn by the Karen women being often
completely covered with embroidered
designs Of this grain"

WHY TRAVEL ABROADY

study to His Home Land.
When Payne wrote There's No Place

TO the love he bore toward the Agle
nook more precious than temples or
palaces" What flowers of rhetoric
could approach in power of assertion
these five little monosyllabic words,
There's No Place Like Home"-to
gainsay which were impossible!
1t is the great privilege Of Americans
to be able without hyperbole to apply
them to travel, for what is there in any
part Of the habitable globe more

Male ostriches battle for supremacy
and admiration Of the females with as
much ferocity as stays. bulls, buffaloes

is amusing, as 1t amounts practically
to boxing match with the feet, in
which the males dance around each
other lightly. There is this difference.
however: II any boxer could hit as
hard as an ostrich with one of his feet
he might settle the championship with
a single blow. 1t must not be supposed
that the ostrich will not strike his an

sparring the ostrich stands on one foot,
with the other foot and wings raised,
