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

Radishes in North China and in
Japan are as important and ubiqui-
tous a 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 eason 1t is thus
easy to understand why these parts
of the world grow the strangest and
biggest radishes known.
The giants beside the little French
Breakfast, our favorite American va
riety, are but babies beside the mon
sters they grow under the warm,
moist influences Of the oriental eli
mate.
These radishes are grown on Amer
lean soil from seeds imported by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from China. They take well to
the American climate, and probably
would have weighed five pounds when
full grown.
When these fellows are grown in
China they rapidly form a 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 q 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.

worse. Then they began to come on
his arms, then on other parts of his
body, and then one came on his chest,
worse than the others. Then called
another physician. Still he grew
worse. At the end of about a year
and a half of suffering he grew so bad

night to keep him from scratching the
sores and tearing the flesh. He got to
be a mere skeleton, and was hardly
able to walk. My aunt advised me to

ANOTHER NEGRO LYNCHED
SOUTH cARoLINIANs SHOOT HIM
FIVE HUNDRED TIMES.
Charged With Attempting to Enter
the Window Of a White
Girls Home.

Columbia, s. Civilian Spain, a
negro, II years old, was shot to death
by a mob a st. George, Dorchester
county. This is the third lynching
in South Carolina within ten days.
S. L. Conner. manager of the Dor
chester Lumber Co.'s store at Bed
ham, was notified by a negro that he
saw another negro attempting to en-
ter a window of his home, and then
run away into a nearby cane patch.
Conner notified his neighbors, and
about two hours later Spain was cap
tured and locked up in Jail. Shortly
afterward a poss of forty of fifty men
went to the sheriff, and, securing the
keys to the Jail, took the negro to the
house of Conner, where his 11-year-old
daughter positively identified the ne
gro as h one who had tried to climb
through the window.
The mob then took the negro to a
nearby oak three, strung him up to a
limb, and fired about 500 shots into
his body.

APPEASE LAND HUNGER
CARS EFFORTS TO SECURE TIE
SUPPORT OF PEASANTS.
A BOLD BID FOR SUPPORT
Crown Lands and AppefdaSes For the
Peasants, and Then Go Before
the Country Upon the Issue.

ST. Petersburg-An important series
of conferences are being held at
Peterhof. on the question OF tue
immediate distribution of he crown
lands and appendages, to the peas
ants, in an attempt to find a partial
solution of the agrarian question by
measurably %appeasing the landhun-
ger of the ~peasantry. The government
has definitely decided to proceed with
the original plan outlined August Z
for settling the agrarian question re-
CARELESS of parliament, and GO to the
country upon the issue at the coming
election.
The Distribution of Land.
Within a fortnight an imperial ukase
will be issued, directing the agrarian
commission to begin the distribution
of 1900, 900 dessiatines Ca dissiatine
is about 2h acres) belonging to the
appendages, 1900, 900 d%essiatines be-
longing to the crown, and 2,O00, 600
dessiatines of land offered to or pur-
chased through the peasants bank.
Only the forests and lands belonging
to the state, the preservation of which
is considered necessary for the fu-
ture agricultural prosperity of the
country, will be reserved.
How Financed.
The transaction will be financed
through the peasants bank. Little
cash will be required. The landlords
and other sellers will be given market
able Manuscript, eventually redeemable
by the peasant purchasers in Install
ment notes designed to meet the in
terest and amortization. The en-
peror will not give up land of the
imperial family as a free gift, but like
other landlords he will accept script.
1t is believed that no parliament will
ever dare to repeal this temporary
law. Nearly all the present restric-
tions upon the peasants as a class will
also be removed. This in substance
is the governments bold bid for the
support of the Russian peasant mil
lions against the propaganda of the
revolutionists.

Valparaiso.-There were two slight
earthquake shocks here Thursday
night.
Rain began falling again, increasing
the sufferings of thousands who are
living in tents. Many sought refuge
in houses whose walls are in a danger
Gus state of ruin.
1t is believed that if the rain con
tinues much longer a serious epidemic
is sure to break out.
About 10, 900 workmen are employed
in clearing away the ruins here and in
searching for bodies of those who lost
their lives during the recent earth
quakes and fires.
In the wreckage of a house work
men found a child alive in a barrel
which had protected it from harm.
The naval school is to be recon
structed, and it is expected that the
cadets will be able to resume their
studies there in about two months.
The sale of articles of food is strict
ly supervised by the city and govern
ment officials, to prevent any abuse n
the direction of the increase in prices
Merchants detected in the act of sell
ing food above the fixed prices are
compelled to close their stores.
In order to guard the people as much
as possible from suffering during the
heavy rains a complete drainage sys

spots where the population is living in
tents.
President Riesco has visited all the

The Black Man..

In an address before the Negro
Young Peoples Christian and Edito-
rial in Washington, Secre-
tary of the Navy Bonaparte pursued
a suggestive line of thought. He
pointed to the fact, established by
comprehensive experience, that the
black race is the only n which has
been able to live with white people.
Indians, Australians and Polyneslans
have died off and disappeared before
the advance of the white race, but the
negroes have not only remained, but
have increased and multiplied. From
this condition the secretary drew the
conclusion that the black men lave a
destiny to work out, and must com
pete with the white men in the effort
OF gain a livelihood. There is no
room in America for people who
can't take care of themselves" said
the secretary; and again: "You can't
in this country rest and be thankful,
for If you try to do this you will soon
have nothing to be thankful for. The
idle and sensual and benighted are
never really free, and America now
is a country only for freemen." That
is sound practical sense and true
patriotism, says the Troy Times. And
come to think of it, the advice is as
applicable to white as to colored men.

Thaw that Thaw's defense to the
charge of killing Stanford White will
be a plea of emotional insanity.
This will include as part of the de
tense that Thaw's insanity existed
only until after White was killed, ant
that Thaw is now sane again, and has
been since the killing.
