BIG PROFIT IN PENTHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort Receives Nearly $2,OOO Day
 for Rooms Alone.

If you doubt that the nickel and quar- ter business doesn't pay, consider the money-making propensities of the aver age seashore bathhouse around New York, and make over your opinion. A representative bathing pavilion has l,5OO bath compartments. It costs 20 cents to rent one. On medium hot summers day some $500 are derived from renting these rooms, for the com partments are used in the course of the day by about 4,000 persons. Bathing suits rent for 25 cents each There would be 5000 of them for such pavil- lon, which means $1 1000 day if half of them are rented once; and it is fair to assume that three-fourths of the 4.000 bathers pay five cents for the use of a comb and brush-$150. A total of near ly $2,000. to say nothing Of the proceeds from restaurant, bar, barber shop and tndoor baths.

BIG BEE RANCH IN FRISCO Public School Principal of Coast City Harvests Q Third of 6 Ton
 of Honey . Season.

There is bee ranch with more than 1000, 900 bees in the heart of one of the densest residence districts of San Fran cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior. prin- cipal of . public school. and is in the little back yard of his home. For ten years he has kept his bees there, has harvested about third of ton of honey each season and has been at no expense for food for his interesting and industrious pets. Although 1t is a dis tance of two and one-half miles from the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park, the bees make the trip there, collect loads of honey and get back to the hive in two minutes, making bullst-like flight at the surprising rate of 150 miles an hour. MT. Prior has demonstrated this by having an observer watch cer- tain bee-favored places in the park and exactly timing the arrival there of bees he purposely sprinkled with flour as they issued from hive. He has also kept time on the absence of the whitened bees.

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
teem Many Years Before Christ.

Of all food plants there is none which has been so long known or been pos sessed of SO distinguished lineage as the asparagus. Its records reach back almost to the beginning of authentic his- tory, and it is mentioned by the comic poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B. c. The Romans held the vegetable in high esteem. The elder Cato wrote a work which Is still extant, ''De re Rustica," and 1t treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, in his natural history, written about 50 A. D., has much to say about it. He feelingly observes: "Of all the products of your garden your chief care should be asparagus" and he devotes several chapters to its many good qualities and the best methods of raising it. He as- serts that the soil about Ravenna was so favorable to its production that three heads grown in that district had been known to weigh Roman pound. This pound seems to have been about equal to Il ounces in our day, go it would ap- parently have taken four of the stalks to have reached pound eff our weight. The asparagus being essentially a southern plant, 1t Is possible that the stock growing in Italy was of more vigorous growth than that of our north ern cline. It is found all around the shores of the Mediterranean and branches of into four or five distinct species besides the one ordinarily used for edible purposes.

WHEN TOGO WAS YOUNG.
Example of the Japanese Admiral'a Alertness of Mind Given in
 Boyhood Days.

A retired English naval officer, who when lad, was on board the training ship Worcester, at the same time as the future Japanese Admiral Togo, accord ing to the Rochester Herald, tells the following "reminiscences:
 Togo was constantly the victim of all manner of chaff from the young British CTS on board, who called him 'One-go- two-go-three-go.' Disliked at first, perhaps because he was unlike his mates, he grew in popularity on account of his remarkably alert mind and agile body, until at length he became gen. eral favorite with officers and boys.
 He stood all chaff with a certain amount of bravado, unless it touched on his resemblance to the Chinese. To one fellow sailor who dubbed him . Chinaman, he said, with emphasis: When I am the" admiral, hang you to the yardarm.'
 "One day Togo had his leave stopped for some small offense. Liberty boys to go ashore was piped, and the boys went up to him and said: Are you to go!' No,' he replied. Immediately the young sters got around him and pinched him, for telling lies, shouting at the same time: You are Togo
 His praenomen being rather difficult to pronounce, Togo was told by one of the boys to shoot his godfather and god' mother on his return home. We do nos shoot gods in Japan was his reply"

"The tree stood on our lawn; 1t had been planted by my father. and he loved 1t with . parental affection; but 1t was an eyesors to my mother, for she thought it spoiled tho looks of the garden.
 'tShe decided to murder 1t secretly. Ascauss she knew that my father would never consent to its removal. For . long time she pondered, asking herself how she might kill the tree without be- lng detected. and finally she decided that she would use for her weapon boil. tns water. Accordingly whenever my father was away she would get . kettle and. tiptoeing out to the tree with . yuilty look. she would pour boiling wAtsr upon it's roots.
