J fee of Randolph & Randolph. Bob
was now moving with a long, hurried
stride, as though consumed with a
fever of desire to get to Beulah Sands.
For the last Is minutes I had with
difficulty kept him in sight. Had he
arrived at a decision, and if SO, what
was it? I asked myself over and
over again as I plowed through the
crowds.
Bob went straight to Beulah Sands
Office, to mine. had been there but
moment when heard deep, guttu-
raj groans. I listened. The sound
came louder than before. 1t came
from Beulah Sands Office. With a
bound l was at the open door. My
God, the sight that met my gaze!
It haunts me even now when year:
have dulled it's vividness The beauti:
full, quiet, gray figure that had grown
to be such familiar picture to Bob
and me of late, sat at the fiat desk
in the center of the room. She faced
the door. Her elbows rested on the
desk; in her hand was an afternoon
paper that she had evidently been
reading when Bob entered. God knows
how long she had been reading it be-
fore he came. Bob was kneeling at
the side of her chair, his hands clasp
ed and uplifted in an agony of appeal
that was supplemented by the awful
groans.

He went into the Battery. The
benches were crowded with that jet

New York's mighty sewers throw in
armies upon her inland beaches at

an Italian woman who had a half-doz-

queens about her, and whose clothes
told of the immigrant ship just into
port. Bob BROMLEY apparently saw
none. But suddenly he stopped. Upon
a bench sat sweetfaced mother
holding a sleeping babe in her arms,
While a curly-pated boy nestled his
head in her lap and slept through the
magic lanes and fairy woods of dream
land. The woman's face was one of
those that blend the confidence Of
girlhoOd with the uncertainty of wom-

of the spineless forms in general.
Others are native and may or may not
be cultivated. Of the first group the
peon may speak collectively as man
sas or tame forms, but he has names
for all of the varieties which are
grown in his orchards as we'll as for
the wild ones of the mountains
To say that any of the forms are
cultivated as we think of cultivation
in this country, however, is a gross
error. They are rarely ever cultivated
Cuttings are put into the ground and
surrounded by fence to protect them
from animal depredations. Aside from
this they get little or no cultivation.
1t is common for the peon to get
large portion of his living during the
tuna season from the plants as they
| crop is therefore consumed directly
from the plants.
The solid matter in the fruit is
about an average of that found in
! other fruits. Like all other fruits the
amount of solids differs for the diff.
| ferent varieties, amounting to from
5.33 to 11.60.
1t is seldom that one can get any
idea of the amount of boiling and
evaporating to which the tuna juice
is subjected by talking to the men
who make the queso. Fortunately.
in 1906, an opportunity was had to
visit Los Campos in season. Through
the kindness of Senior Enrique Guerra
a day was spent at the queso factory.
At six o'clock in the morning of the
day spent at the factory the kettles
were charged with IS gallons of the
juice of tuna cardona, portion Of
which had been seeded the night be-
FORE A brisk fire was started at the
same time of wood of the same species
of prickly pear During the day rs
! gallons more of the juice were added
as evaporation proceeded. The evap-
Grafton was carried on very slowly
and somewhat irreguls rly until eight
o'clock in the evening. But little at
tention was paid to the kettle until
toward evening, when the juice was
constantly stirred Tho juice was Sc
cured from $50 gallons Of peeled tunas
from which the rind had been COM
pletely removed, the shrinkage in
seeding being very largely due to the
bulky seed. The melcocha which
was kneaded into queso the next day
measured II gallons and weighed 100
pounds.
A very distinctive feature of the
markets of the different cities of the
highland region of Mexico is the
space or booths assigned to the sale
of the tunas The business is general
ly carried on by the poorer population
in the most simple and primitive way.
Not that the poor are the only ones
who eat them, but they are eaten
more extensively by the poorer class
than any other. One of our illustra.
tions gives a good idea Of the appear.
ance of the tuna markets.
By far the greater amount of fruit
is sold -uppeeled. This is especially
true during the season when fruits
are not abundant, for less waste at
tends it.

bottom I used board strips three inch
es wide to make a box 6x8 inches
square.
Small hooks with screw ends were
fastened in the corners on which to
hang the sack. A piece of three-incb
stuff three feet long was bolted to the
back of the hopper with several inch
holes in the top.
The hopper was then hung upon a
spike driven into a post beside the bin.

think every child, boy or girl, should
learn the art of swimming.
In connection with the effort of the
commissioners to secure these public
baths it is also likely they will en-.
deavor to establish one or two public
laundries in the District. This idea
Is something new and novel in this
part of the country, although such
places are common throughout Eu-
rope.
1t is the belief that a public laundry
should be connected with every public
bathhouse erected in the District and
to have each laundry supplied with not
less than 80 stationary wash tubs,
where the women of the poorer class
es can take their clothing to be wash
ed, requiring only a trifling sum for
soap and other incidentals. Connected
with each laundry it is the idea to
have a "drying-room," where the WON.
en- can take clothes after the washing
to be dried, either by hot air or steam.

The prickly pear of the American
and Australian, the Indian fig of the
Englishman, the Barbary fig of the
Frenchman, the tuna of the Spanish
American, and the higos chumbos of
the Spaniard is a fruit concerning
which there are more varied beliefs,
contradictory opinions, and grades of
appreciation than concerning any
known to u.s. The plant and it's fruits
are subjected to both praise and
abuse
While the Mexican prays that there
may be no rain when the plants are
in bloom that the fruit may set we'll
and produce good crop of tunas, the
legislative assemblies in some of the
Australian colonies pass laws looking
toward their eradication.
While the Australian governments
spend much money to eradicate the
weed some ranchmen find that it
can be fed to stock with profit.
While the southern Texan was i'm
plOring the government in the early
nineties to conduct investigations
looking to the eradication of prickly
pear, shrewd cattlemen and ingenious
machinists were devising means
whereby it could be Invested of it's
Objectionable characteristics at small
expense and turned to profitable
! use.
While the minister of agriculture OF
India pronounced against it's use in
unqualified terms, it was found in this
country that it could play profitable
| role in both beef and dairy produc
! ton in at least one section of the
| United States. While the South Afri
can is said to revile it's presence, the
poorest inhabitants of the Island OF
| Sicily are said to largely subsist on
it's fruit for three or four months each
year.
The average American travelling in
! Mexico can see no value whatever iI
the tremendous stretches of prickly
pear upon the plateau, but the native
| peOn grows these plants and similar
ones in his orchards and give- then
fully as careful attention as an. plant:
which he attempts to cultivate.
Enthusiastic magazine writer:
would revolutionize conditions in thu
arid region by the establishment O.
plantations of prickly pear withou
spines, thus converting the most arit
deserts into populous, prosperous
communities. Experience teaches
however, that the spineless varietie!

natural desert conditions; that all o
the valuable spineless species which
produce either fruit or forage il
economic quantities require consider
able precipitation at some time during
the year; and that economic specie!

maximum temperature of less thar
ten degrees F. One exception to thi:
may be noted in the case of opuntit
arborescens of Colorado; but thu
amount of stock feed produced b.
this species is comparatively small
and it's distribution limited.
Conservative judgment based upo1
observation and experiment, on thu
other hand, would pronounce man!
species of prickly pear to be decided!
susceptible to cultivation and highl!
productive of both fruit and forage
under proper conditions of tempera

Middlinus and Shorts.

Middlings and shorts are terms used
INTERCHANGEABLE to some extent. 1t
has become common to find shorts
consisting simply of ground-over bran,
almost free from .doury particles, with
the sweepings and dirt of the mill
edded. Such material is very unsatis-
factory for stock feeding and should
be avoided. Midd,ings are especially
useful for feeding horses, since these
animals cannot utilize much crude
fiber. They should be mixed with
corn meal, oats or other feeding
stuffs as pure middlings are heavy
feed and liable to produce collie

ONLY GOVERNOR

tore Gouvernale, the assassin of two
New York policemen, will expiate
his crime, unless Governor Hughes
should see fit to interfere with the
carrying out of the sentence of death
passed upon the eX-Cicilian murderer
Gouvernale was convicted of kill
ing Policemen Selleck and Sechler in
hallway where they chased him to
arrest him for firing shot at an
other Sicilian in Washington square.
As the officers entered the dark area
GouveTnale turned and fired two shots
each infiicting a mortal wound. Lieu

! sassin and lodged him in jail.
Since he has been incarcerated in
the death cell at Sing Sing the as
Jsassin has broken down and forI
weeks has been in a condition of col

! The braggart air he maintained dur
\ ing the trial has deserted him. The

in cold blood.
One of the sensational features of
the case was the arrest of the armed
assassin by Lieutenant Fogarty, who,
with all the odds in favor of the muir
defer, overpowered Gouvernale af-
ter a desperate fight. The heroism of
Fogarty was highly commended by
