FREAKS IN FOOD
CONSUMPTION.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

Consumers the world over, and not
alone in the United States, as has Of
ten been asserted by magazine WITT
ers. are very fastidious In their seiec
ton of articles OF diet. Peculiar as II
NAV seem, this selection is not made
with the idea Of procuring something
which will please the palate or which
is nutritious, but more with regard
to the effect upon the eye OF the OBJ
3ect sought. Sometimes, too, there Is
a hide-bOund conception OF how GER
tain food should be and nolning can
break 4he public of this fancy. The
Department Of Agriculture, year or
30 ago, found that the English peo-
pie would not purchase n consignment
of American sweet potatoes, the sole
complaint being, that while the tubers
were OF good color and satisfactory in
every other respect, they were sweet
in taste. The English conception of
how potato ought to taste was GER

In England, where brown eggs are
the favorite, dealers go so far as to
color the shells of white eggs with
either strong coffee or some dye
stuff. New York likes a white butter
but Chicago and Philadelphia little
darker, while Washington demands a
deep yellow butter, and New Orleans
wants color still darker than Wash
ington. How far this question of col
or goes may be taken from little in
stance In which carload of butter
intended for Washington was sent on

consigned to New York was sent to
Washington. The receivers in both
places demonstrated strongly, the one

Suburban C0-Operation.

In Kensington, Maryland, one of

A deal was fixed up between them by
which the inventive genius was to set
up and install the engine and connect
it with his pump, so by a system of
piping, water could be had by both
parties without the necessity of hand
pumping or a windmill.
This system of water supply has
worked well-so well indeed that the
piping has been laid to couple of
ncighbors even more distant, and the
well, being of ample capacity, now
supplies half dozen families with

The means chosen to create the new

orange may be described by either OF
the words, hybridization or pollena-
tion. That form of citrus which
grows farthest north is japanese
shrub, citrus trifoliata. 1t may be
seen in the United States as far north
as Massa sachusetts. Its use is only or
uamental. Its fruit under favoring
conditions attains the size of a wild
persimmon and is globular, tawney
and bitter. In Japan, Its home, the
fruit is converted into conserve.
Three trees of the citrus trifolliata
grow in the grounds Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Each OF them

A hardy ORANGE
Crossing the Florida Variety on the
Sturdy Japanese Species,

Botanists in the employ Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture hope to bring into being an orange
tree which will be as sturdy as the ap-
pie tree; an orange tree that will not
perish in the chill of northern winter,
which in December will bear its
wreaths of snow and in May its gar
lands of bloom, and which when sum-
mer comes will yield fruit as good as
that sweetened and gilded in the south
sun. This may seem to he an un-
natural proposition but it only seems.
No violence upon the laws Of Nature
has been or will be attempted. 1t Is
simply an effort to make the citrus
tree from which is obtained the sweet
table orange, as hardy and insensitive
to cold as the orange tree from which
Is obtained the bitter unedible orange.
BY crossing a citrus tree which grows
in the north and which bears an un-
edible fruit with the citrus tree of the
south 1t Is sought to beget n plant in
which will be combined the good traits
Of each.
Government botanists are confident
that the result of this citrus marriage
will be scion that will grow and
fruit at latitude midway between the
northern limits of the sweet orange
and the northern limits OF the line of
growth OF the unediblle orange. II
this should be there might be orange
groves In central Virginia, middle Ken
lucky, southern Indiana, southern ILL
nois. central Missouri and central
Kansas. Think OF orange gardens

mond, Lynchburg. Lexington, Louis

natl, st. Louis, Jefferson City and

An 4dODfcd English knight.

An Englishman who visited New

derived from the fat. On the contrary.
In some European countries there is a
preference for the darker-skinned
chickens. A curious preference, en-
tirely unassociated with tastes, is the
color of eggs. While in Boston brown
eggs sell for n cent or two per dozen
more than white eggs, the contrary is
true in New York, and IL one or two
dirty eggs are visible the price is still
lower. 1t is said that Chicago Is indis-
eliminating In regard to the color of
eggs, but that San Francisco prefers
white ones.

HICKS FORECAST.
st. Louis Prognosticator Outlines
Weather for September.

The last storm disturbances in
August promise to reach into the
first day Of September. On and the
touching Friday the 1st no reader
need be surprised to see or hear of
a crisis in the elements-rain, wind
and thunder, with equinoctial tenn
pests in the south regions very pro-
bable. The regular Vulcan storm
period central on the 9th, will be
felt as early as the 9TH or 9Th, in
falling barometer, change to warmer
and growing cloudiness in western
sections. AS these conditions in
crease and advance eastward over
the country, storms of wind, rain
and thunder will visit most localities
about Saturday the 9th to Monday
the II. The 18th to 18th are also
reactionary storm days. We may
therefore look fol decided storm
conditions to continue over these
dates. This is period of probable
tidal waves, and heavy equinoctial
storms in the south. Barometric
and other recognized indications of
approaching hurricanes, in all the
gulf regions, should be carefully
noted at this time. One of the most
probable earthquake periods in
September will be central on the
18th extending twenty four TO
thlry-six hours before and after that
day. A marked change to high
barometer, westerly gales and much
cooler will almost certainly follow
general and severe storms at this
time. Frosts in many localities,
especially northward between the
18th and 10Th, may reasonably be
expected. The next regular storm
period is central on the Dist, this
being also the central day of Earths
antumnal equinox. This period
will express itself in falling baro-
meter, rising temperature, threat
ening storms clouds, with rain, wind
and thunder, the crisis falling on
the Dist to 23rd, progressively from
west to east. 1t behooves all who
navigate the lakes and high seas to
keen the eyes trained on approach
ing possibilities at this and other
September periods. Another high
barometer and change to decidedly
cooler will come in from the north
west close behind these storms.
The 27th, % and goth are reaction
airy storm days, not far from the
center of the autumnal equinox,
and with the Moon at new and on
the celestial equator on the 28th,
and in perigee, or nearest the earth
on the 29th.

Cigarettes Still on Tap.

Did you ever notice that when
yo'l forbids a small boy some
thing you create an intense desire
in the breast of that youngster for
nothing else but that? Did you ever
notice that when you forbid the
use Of a certain article it is the only
one that would suit? And further
did you ever notice that if you put
a fence or barrier over a path
where people are wont to travel,
with orders that they must go
around, that they would endeavor
to get by some way and travel the
path? Someone says it is human
nature. Well? At the last session of
the legislature the senators and as
semblymen spent many long hours
framing a hill that was intending
to do away with the great amount
OF cigarette smoking which was
eating out the lives of our coming
men. They framed a bill they
thought was rigid, and which would
serve the noble purpose as it was
intended by authors. But they little
thought of human nature" They
said, 'You must not sell cigarettes
ETC." That was the barrier and how
quick human nature" crawled
under it. Today you can pick up
almost any newspaper published in
this state and you can read the ad-
vertisement, Cigarette papers free;

does the business. You can visit
any cigar store and therein notice

them before. You remark 81

DAVIS IN THE TOLLS.
Well Known Platteville Citizen Ar
rested tor ENLIGHTENMENT.

Word was received in this city
the past few days that t. G. Davis,
the well-known piano salesman OF
Platteville, had defaulted and left
for parts unknown, taking with
him a considerable sum Of money.
Later the news came that he had
been arrested in Winnipeg, Canada,
and was in the custody of an officer
there pending the securing of ex-
tradition papers.
The losers IN this affair are
several of the leading piano and
organs firms of the country, notab-
", the Adam Schaaf and Kimball
companies of Chicago, the Newman
Organ Co. of St. Louis, and the
Ferrand Doty Co. of Detroit. The
amount of the shortage will be from
$500 to $4,000 when all the accounts
are in. The Adam Schaaf Company
has wired their representative here
$500 to begin the prosecution, and
affairs look rather dark for Mr..
Davis. The officer is expected to
return with the prisoner sometime
next week.
There are other rumors in con-
nection with the case of a decidedly
sensational nature.
