THE JERUSALEM ARTlCHOkE
Peculiar Qualities Of a Tuber That
Grows on the Roots Of the
Sunfower.

Most young folks in the country are
familiar with the sweet, crisp, juicy
tubers known as artichokes. These,
says an article on Mature and Sci
ence," in st. Nicholas, grow on the
roots of the sunfiower known to bot
anists as Helianthus tuberosis, and
are commonly called Jerusalem arti-
chokes. Under this common name you
will find the tubers offered for sale in
most seed catalogues.
The plants are easily grown in al
most any kind of soil. At first glance
the tubers have somewhat the appear
ance of potatoes, but unlike them they
may be eaten raw like radishes. or
they may be picked or cooked. Re-
cipes are to be found in all cook
books.
These artichokes are entirely differ
ent (yet not far distant in botanical
way) from the globe artichokes which
are grown in California, and perhaps
elsewhere exclusively for their edible
flower buds. These are never eaten
raw. Even when cooked they are
rather tasteless. Personally, think
they are not to be compared, as an
acceptable vegetable, with the Jerusa-
lem artichoke, sometimes even now
found In old-fashioned gardens.

to the report of the state railroad COM
mission, the number of cash fares
paid in 1905 in New York reached tne
enormous total Of LII, ISL, 69S. At i've
cents each that amounts to $685.
584.9O. In the period from 1893 to the
close Of 1904 the total value Of the
five-cent pieces coined In this country
amounted to only $24,175, 1885. II all
the three-cent pieces and two-cent
pieces and the cents and half-cents
were added it would still leave a total
in money far less than that represent
ed by the collection of cash fares in
New York. With a reasonable allow
ance for the number of coins that
must have been lost and destroyed in
one way or another since our mint
was opened, it is probable that tina
total amount Of change now in this
country, including all coins between a
dollar and three cents, would not ex-
coed the sum which was collected last
year on the New York transportat ton
lines. OF course, the secret is that the
same coin does duty over and over
again.

HOW SOME LEAKS" GROW
Information Concerning Official Bust.
ness Gets to the Newspaper
Reporters. t}

Some years ago Gen. Grosvenor was
a member of the committee on rivers
and harbors of the house. and this
story is told of how he accommodated
a newspaper friend. In those days
there was stronger pressure than az
present among the correspondents to
get the advance items in the river and
harbor bill, so that every man who
had friend on the committee was ex-
pected to 'lay down" on him and get
the different items. The year Of which
this story is told the committee as
usual tied itself up and agreed that 1t
would not make any features public
until the bill was reported to the
house. But as usual some members
'.leaked." A man from the TAR west
procured the Pacific coast items and
one or two other large items enough
to make it appear that the bill was
getting out. These items were turned
over to a man who knew Gen. Grosve-
nor well and the battle began. The
general did not want to give up" but
the newspaper man was persistent,
pointing out how nearly every other
man of the committee had taken
care of his friends and that it was
not right for the general to allow his
friends to get left. The outcome was
that the young man got his items in
the bill and enough to help out all his
friends who were In the plot.
The next morning there was a
stormy meeting in the committee on
rivers and harbors. Gen. Grosvenor
opened the ball with denunciation OF
those who made such a pretense OF
secrecy and yet gave out everything
pertaining to their sections. He said
that the main features of the bill, as
well as whole sections, mad been made
public, and he knew they were accu-
rate because the newspaper men had
shown him the figures. The commit
tee had seldom received such lee
ture as Gen. Grosvenor gave them, and
q few who had been guilty Of tipping
of" few items to friends regretted
that they were not as faithful and vir-
tuous as the Ohio representative. They
resolved to follow in his footsteps in
The future, and many of them did 80.
Whenever there is trouble over

now tries to get his indignant protest

his colleagues, for he was q good

NOTHING. At ALL PERSONAL
One Of Those Lordly Walters Gets q
Small Portion Of His
Comings.


There is prominent official in
Washington, a frequent diner at the
hotels, who is most fastidious in his
ideas with respect to the service rem
dered by walters.
One afternoon, relates the American
Spectator, this official, feeling some
what under the weather, decided to
omit his usual substantial lunch and
to- substitute therefor some light re-
freshment.
AS he entered the cafe Of a fashion,
able hotel, a new waiter, with the
grandest Of manners, hastened for
ward to take the hat and coat Of the
official. lie then assumed the blandest
of expressions and awaited the order.
Scarcely glancing at the. bill of fare.
the official said: Bring me a milk
toast" The waiter heard, but remained
motionless, all attention to hear the
rest Of the anticipated order. That's
all l want" said the official, hurry
up!"
The waiter went away with disap-
pointment and contempt stamped up
on every feature of his naughty coun-
tenance.
The official had not failed to OBJ
serve the disposition of the waiter; so
he decided not to give his Usual gen
srous fee. The waiter, after consider
able delay, slowly returned with the
toast. As he laid it down, he also
placed the bill upon the table, check
of rs cents, the price of the modest
dish.
That's small check" he remarked
superciliously.

yet got back. Bat was at home with
his head bound up, and Moriarity, VINO
lived in the same house, trying to
comfort him. Bat said that the ac-
cident was his own fault, he had
no business on the Icy track, and was
too dead tired to get of in time
When Bat came to, the kid. wallet and
wagon were gone, and the policeman
told him the wagon had turned down
Eighth avenue. Harris now dis
patched one of the men in that dlrec-
ton to look for Johnny.
It was four o'clock when Johnny
turned into Sixth avenue at Fifty
ninth street. Jerry hobbled along. Only
at every elevated station he would
swerve to the side street the stable
was on a station street-and Johnny,
with strength born Of desperation,
would hold the horse in.
Down the avenue they went. An
occasional car Changed to them a
Merry Christmas" Overhead the
electric trains whizzed by, but Johnny,
with the reins clasped in his stiffened
fingers, stared at the great white way
stretched out before him.
Harris was walking up and down in
the clerks Office in the stable.
Its no use. Harris" said the clerk.
"a kid like IL never could do it."
Harris did not answer. A blast OF
wind shook the Office windows. i!

the quiet street came the sound Of a
horse picking his way over the froze1
pavement. The night Waterman sig
nailed the approach of wagon. The
men in the office rushed and threw
open the door. Jerry staggered up the
incline and dozen arms reached out
for Is.
Johnny's imagination had pictured a
triumph for Bat, but in the widest
flight of his fancy he never dreamed OF
anything like this for himself. Willing
hands and warm hearts worked over
him, infusing new life. He was bathed,
and rubbed, and anointed, wrapped in
fur and rushed. in Harris arms. round
the corner and up two fights of stairs.
There! What do you think OF
him?" Harris set Johnny on the sofa
beside Bat, and threw back the fur
robe.
Bats arm drew Johnny to him
Johnny looked round confused.
It was Moriarity that called out:
What's the matter with 1872"
Hes all right"
Johnny looked as If he had done
to be ashamed of. And he
hid his face In Bats shoulder as he re-
torted, shyly:

Johnny's head was light, hts legs
were heavy and so stiff he suffered
agonies before they moved in Ole
dience to hjs will; but he made his
deliveries and reached the corner
where, as he thought, he should meet
Bat
Johnny stood for awhile in tho
whistling blast. Bats wagon was in
sight on the avenue a short block
away. Johnny started toward it.
Then bells clanged, shouts rent the all,
a yell, crash, and trolley car hit
the wagon and glided serenely on.
The wagon was not hurt, but Bat
shot out over Jerry's head, and lay
quiet in the snow.
When Johnny reached Bat, he saw
that his eyes were closed, and that the
snow was dyed red where Bats head
lay. They were alone, these two. No
one In sight, not even a sound save
the moaning of the wind and the
stamping OF the horse broke the still
ness OF the night. Johnny looked up.
then Bats lips mumbled something.
Mechanically Johnny opened Bats
coat, took out the wallet and put It
inside his own Jacket.
Il got t do It," said Johnny.
Two men came along, and soon after
them policeman. Then Johnny got
into the wagon.
Il got t. do it," he said, again, and
he said 1t in way that gave him
strength to start Jerry.
1t was four o'clock in the morning.
Harris was still waiting in the stable.
Bat, like many more drivers, had not
