HOUSE FOR FREE SEEDS.
Continued from preceding page.


Currier. of New Hampshire, where 1t Is
commonly understood one OF the chief
industries is that of raising rocks.
granite, and marble, protested against
his assertion that the farmers We're not
in sympathy with the free-seed bust
ness. They declared the farmers of
their State demanded them anyhow.
Mr.. Cocks read letters from the edi-
tors of practically every agricultural
paper in the country. dcnouncing free
seeds. and when he frankly admitted
he had written these editors asking
their opinion of the proposed action
Of the committees he wa attacked by
the advocates of free seeds as If he
had committed som" crime.
ALL ABOUT SEED ADS
Mr.. Bartlett wanted to know If these
papers carried advertisements Of the
seed dealers, to which, Mr.. Cocks af-
'irrned that he had no doubt of it, rs
the business OF selling seeds was
legitimate one. Mr. Fordney did not
believe the answers represented an
honest opinion, as the replies had been
sought.
Mr. Cocks cndeavored to proceed
with his argument, reinforcing 1t with
citations from stack Of letters, but
he spoke amid n confusion that marked
the day as the most unruly OF the en-.
tire session. Mr.. Gains shouted him
self hoarse-and that Is a difficult
thing, even for Mr.. Gaines to do: Mr..
Mann scoldcd. as he often does when
he fails to approve; Mr.. Fordney, Mr..
French. Mr.. Sims. L. Chandler. and
others asked questions simultaneously,
and the chairman of the committee all
but broke his gaveI in n vain endcavor
to maintain order. At one time II
looked as If the mace. that symbol Of
the dignity and power of the House,

and waved over the heads of refrac-

who refused to take their seats when

F1RWER IMMIGRANTS.
Some of Our Citizens Make Good
Farmers-But Poor City Dwellers.

Many of our Italian Immigrants are
good farmers, after their fashloh OF
laborious intensive cultivation. They
are wretchedly poor, but they are chli-
dren of the soil and where they occa-
sionally do get into the same con-
genial occupation in this country they
make good farmers and eventually
good citizens.
The greater part Of the immigrants.
in fact, now pouring into the country
are better qualified for agricultural
and horticultural pursuits than ior
any others. These pursuits were theirs
in their European homes. and but 1or
certain difficulties they would natural
ly resort to them here. The trouble Is.
there is nobody ready. as general
thing. to offer them employment, in
groups. on the land; and transporta-
tion to the land is more or less eXpen-
siye. On the other hand, there are al
ways contractors ready to engage them
for railroad, mining and similar EN-
Dloyments in the seabOard States. and
sometimes in other States; more often
they simply settle down in the big and
already congested cities. They take
what they can get; and, more espe-
cially. what will be most likely to en-
able them TO enjoy the continued COM
panionship of their fellow Immigrants.
| The newcomer breads the isolation
| which will usually be his lot II he ac-
cepts employment on farm.
Under the far-sighted plan OF the
men who are colonizing some Western
| areas, particularly in California and
New Mexico, all these difficulties are
avoided. Groups Of agriculturtsts OF
the same nationality are brought to-
gether, and invited TO become owners
OF small tracts, sold to them on easy
terms. Ten acres OF good land, so OBJ
tainable-and the price OF which he
can usually pay in labor for others
is a very attractive proposition to the
average Immigrant. especially when.
in his new home. he may be sur
rounded by Others OF his own race.
The plan has been already demon
siratcd to be very profitable to tho
promoters also.

Wanted All the Goodies.

Teddy was about to be ten years old.
In view of this Interesting event Ted
dys mother had ordered some ice
cream and cakes ond other dainties,
and Teddy was told to invite his little
friends to a birthday party. The even
ing of the celebration came around,
and all the goodies were waiting to be
enjoyed. Teddy and his mother were
also waiting.
Suddenly the youngster said:
Mother, don't you think it's time to
eat the ice-cream and cake now?"
NO, indeed, my son." she replied.

ington and Fielding Lewis, Of Fred
ericksburg. and nephew of the great
George Washington. The wife of Law
renee Lewis was Nellie Custis. grand
daughter Of Mrs. Martha Washington
and the adopted daughter of George
Washington.
The marriage of Nellie Custis and
young Lewis was the social event of the
year 1899. The marriage took place in
the mansion house at Mount Vernon
on the birthday of Washington. and in
the year of his death. Washington
gave to the couple a tract of forest land
covering a range of hills on the Mount
Vernon property two miles southwest
of the mansion house. Lewis PERSONAL
ly saw that part of the woods were
cleared away, and in the clearing he
had erected the great house which he
called Woodlawn. The place passed to
Lorenzo Lewis at the death of his
mother. Nellie Custis Lewis, and by
him was sold in 1SiS to two Quakers
from New Jersey. Chalkley Gillingham
and Jacob NJ. Troth. The sons of these
men live near the estate to-day, Jacob
NJ. Troth, the younger. living on an
adjoining farm and on land that was
a part of the original Woodlawn. The
house passed through many hands and
in 1900 was bought by Paul Kester.
who now sells 1t to Miss Sharp.

NOW THE WATCH TRUST.
Representative Vrceland the Victim
of Joke During Watch Monopoly
Controversy.

When Representative Rainey of ILL
nois, few days ago, made a speech in
Congress on the alleged watch trust,
he opened up a subject that has been
of decided interest in Congressional
circles ever since. He had collection
of watches on his desk which he
showed as exhibits.
Representative Vreeland of New
York found another phase Of the watch
question which he wanted to talk
about. and proceeded to stock up with
sample watches and watch cases. He
had the assortment nicely displayed on
his desk. when, by a prearrangement.
he was called out into the corridor.
AS soon as he was gone joker in a
neighboring seat produced three mem
orandum gpindles, two short and one
tall. He set them in row on Vree-
lands desk. Then he produced three
oranges and carefully stuck one on
the point of each spindle, producing
the perfect effect of the three golden
balls of the pawn shop sign.
well, by gosh!" exclaimed Vree-
land, when he came back. The laugh
scared his intended speech out Of him.

rams head. the lighted end of the wick
projecting from its mouth After the
discovery of the hole for the wick, ii
was an easy step to cover the entire
lamp. with the exception of an opening
in the center to receive the oil. Thus
the lamp of classical times originated.
Another interesting example from Bis
mya Is an extremely large marble
lamp, oval in shape and with vertical
walls. The snout for its wick is n
deep groove extending out about 2
inches. and with its support from be-
meath 1t resembles the handle of mod
ern dish. This lamp held about two
quarts of oil, and, as it was found in
the ruins of the temple, its unusual
size suggests that in the Babylonian
temple, as in the synagogues of later
era, and in some churches, even to the
present day, light was kept perpet-
ually burning.
Previous to 1000 r. G. the lamps, rs
well as most dishes and household cf-
fects, were of stone: after that time
objects of burned clay began to ap-
pear. Before that date lamps were
found only in the ruins of the temple:
later clay lamps were found in the
dwelling houses of the people. OF the
latter variety of shapes have ap-
peared. Some are triangular, the shape
suggested by the conch: one Is min
iature boat; others of a later period
are identical ia shape and size with
those of Rome and Greece. The lamp
of these nations was undoubtedly bor-
rOwed from the older civilization of
BabylOnia. The common clay lamp
of Persia and of the time of Haroun
er Raschid assumed round form
with n dent in its rim for the wick,
resembling in every respect minia-
ture frying pan, from which the handle
is missing. The lamp of modern Bag
dad differs from it only in being set
upon pedestal and provided with
handle.

Old Methods Succeed.

1t has been claimed that old methods
Of doing business cannot succeed in
this twentieth century of ours, but a
striking example of where old manners
have been and are yet successful may
be found in the busiest city of the world
New York. Right in the heart of
the Wholesale district may be found a
restaurant that is feeding more people
every day of the year than any other
house in New York City, and doing it
along the line of old methods"
1t is claimed for this famous eating
house that every pound of food used
is paid for in cash upon the day it is
purchased and that the proprietors
have never yet given a check in pay-
ment for supplies, nor owed one dollar
at the close of the day, and they keep
no books.
Each morning the dealers supplying
this remarkable establishment deliver
the necessary goods at the receiving
department and then form in a line
leading to the cashiers desk where
each one in turn receives his money in
good hard coin.
When evening comes whatever Is
left in the cash drawer is profit, less
charges such as taxes, light, fuel &C.
A further boast of the owner Of this
restaurant is that its doors have never
been locked since first opened, way
back in wartime" and that no one
knows where the key now is.
An idea of the number of people fed
may be gained from the fact that table
salt. used exclusively by the patrons
at the tables and not including any
usad for cooking is purchaSed every
four months in ten barrel lots. each
barrel containing three hundred
pounds.
