GIANT RADIsHEs OF THE EAST
There the Vegetable Grows to an
Enormous Size.

Radishe3 in North China and IN
Japan are as important and ubiqui-
tous part of every meal as is bread
in America. In both countries many
millions of bushels of this vegetable
are grown every year, and they are
TO be had at all seasons. II is thus
easy to understand why these parts

These radishes are grown on Amer
lean soil from seeds imported by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from China. They take we'll to
the American climate, and probably
would have weighed five pounds when
full grown.
When these fellows are grown in
China they rapidly form great bril-
liant red globe eight to ten inches in
diameter and weighing sometimes 20
pounds. Another kind is snow white
and grows a foot long. and still an
other is a brilliant green on the out
side and beautiful wine red when
the skin is cut Some of these
strange vegetables are exceedingly
delicate in flavor and texture when
grown under favorable conditions.

Messrs. Sparton and Flowing prided
themselves upon being the best jew
GERS in town. They were a very 60
ahead firm; and in their window the
latest novelties in watches and clocks
could always be seen.
One morning Mr.. Flowing, the junior
psrtner, began to dance round the
shop, excitedly pointing to 4 parcel
which lay open on one OF the glass
covered showcases.
What have you now?" said Mr..
Sparton.
Its the Photographic watch" said
the junior partner, excitedly; lit will
sell like blazes."
Il have never sold any blazes," said
the senior partner with a reproving
frown-'let me see those talking tick
ers."
The partners undid the wrappers in
which some Is watches were encased.
They looked very harmless, and had
the stupid, over-conscientious look OF
the ordinary watch.

ear.

Flowing; lin ten minutes we shall

The partners then arranged the
watches in two rows upon the desk,
and anXiously awaited the hour. AS
the big clock over the shop began to
wheeze preparatory to striking, a tiny
little voice was heard to proceed from

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion of one who has trav-
eled much and observed closely, the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world, with it's artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than a dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions

tied Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin-
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem
mime helpmeet; cringing to no EN-.
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as a mat
