SCHOOL GARDENS IN TEXAS.
The Agricultural Branch of the Training
of San Antonio Children.

The school garden system of San Anto-
Mo, Tex, is ON an established, practical
basis. 1t is said that this city has .Iore
gardens attached to its schools than any
place of its size in the world. There are
949 of these cultivated plots attached 20
the twenty mine public schools. The
gardens are in charge of school superin-
tendents, but the work of planting, cuI-
tivating and harvesting the products Of
each Is carried on by the pupils of the
school TO which the garden belongs. The
gardens vary from one-tenth to one
quarter of an acre. 1t is estimated that
the total acreage is more than 100, Or
equal to that of a good sized farm.
The boys of the schools take a great
pride in their gardens. The teachers
declare that since the gardens were es-
tablished the boys are much more in
dustrlous III their studies, that they
learn more readily and that they all
show evidence of material improvement
in their health and physical condition.
The climate of San Antonio is peculiar
ly adapted to the operation of the school
garden system. The work can be car
ried ON during practically the whole
school term. Certain vegetables can be
grown successfully during the fall and
winter. The spring gardens are planted
early In February and the products are
matured and harvested by the time the
school term ends in June. An enormous
quantity of vegetables is grown. The
boys take such a keen interest in the
work that they give little time to play.
ing the games that usually consume a
good part of the time of young students.
There is much rivalry among the diff
ferent schools over the gardens.
Text books on agriculture now are
used in the public schools of San
Antonio. The youths are give ma basic
training in farming and gardening and
are enabled to put their knowledge to
practical use in the gardens that are
provided for them. Energetic boys who
become interested in the work do not
eonfine their labors to the school gar
den but many of them have converted
unsightly back yards and vacant lots
at their homes into cultivated plots

Curious Foods in Italy.

Huge meaty chestnuts are found every
where in Italy. Peeled and boiled in a
reddish broth, seasoned with laurel
leaves and caraway seeds, the nuts are
palatable. About TWO dozen of the large
kernels are sold for one penny. In both
Genoa and Naples the friggitrici are in
teresting, and some of their specialties
are well worth a trial if one can forget
the unappetizing appearance of cooks and
cooking appliances. One friggitrice at
tracts attention to tray of golden balls
which she piles in a pyramid The gold
en- balls are artichokes. They are boiled
in saIted water until tender, and are put
IN pan over steam to keep them hot
until a customer appears. For three
pence the vender will take one from the
steaming pan, dry it. dip it into batter,
and pop it into the hot Gil. A moment
later a golden-brown ball. delicious and
crispy on the outside and tender and sue
culent on the inside, is handed to the
purchaser. The frying is managed in
such a way that when the fritters are
taken away from the kettle they are very
hot, but so dry on the outside that they
scarcely soil the fingers when eaten from
the hand. Another friggitrice speciality
is that of cheese balls. They are made
of paste filled with grated cheese and
fried Mashed chestnuts, rice, chopped
chicken and many vegetables are used
to vary the filings for the popular fri
tos. Some of the frying kettles are por-
table and the friggitrici have regular
routes like the milkmen, where they tap
at the basement door, go their orders,
take their tiny bellows and blow up
the charcoal until it glows, and then
cook the breakfast of meatballs or rice
cakes or artichokes. which are sent in

Animal Sounds.

Not only, writes correspondent, are
we particular as to the right word for
expressing the sound of an animal, but,
if the language of the sportsman of the
middle ages had not been allowed TO be-
come obsolete, we should be equally rich
in our directions. Thus, in mentioning
companies of animals, we should speak
of pride of lions, a herd of deer (but
bevy of roes), sloth of bears, and
many others. When our quarry retired
to rest. we should say that the hart was
harbored. the buck lodged, the hare
formed and the rabbit set and so on.
These picturesque descriptive nouns
were not confined TO animals, but were
also applied to human beings A num-
Der of princes was a state, of hermits

Charles c. Mas Register of Deeds of Milwaukee County
Candidate for Reelection.

Lawyers, real estate men and bust
ness men generally, who have to
transact business in the Office of the
Register of Deeds of Milwaukee coun-
ty, agree that the efficient and capable
administration of the present incum-
bent, Charles c. Mas, should be con-
tinued for another two years at least.
Mr.. Mas who is candidate to succeed
himself, subject to the action of the
Republican primaries to be held on
Tuesday, September /, 1908, asks the
suffrage of the qualified voters of Mil
waukee county, bringing with him
clean record during the past three
years, but two years of which he has
been the incumbent of the office as the
choice of the people.
Appointed Register of Deeds of Mil
waukee county by Governor Robert
Marion La Toilette in 1905, Mr.. Mas
conducted the affairs of the office in
such highly creditable manner. as to
entitled him to election to the office in
November 1906. and he assumed the
duties of the elective office in January
1907.
In addition to claiming that he has
been the incumbent of the Office but
one elective term, coupled with the
fact that those having business in the
office of Register of Deeds are unit
for his retention in the office, Mr..
Mas points with just pride to the fact
that during his administration he has
always insisted on the employees of the
Office attending strictly to business,
and treating all courteously, and Mr..
Mas himself has been constantly at
the helm to see that his orders were
carried out to the letter.

a surplus.
Although Mr.. Mas who was born in
the town of Wauwatosa has been ac-
lively identified with politics for seven
teen years, serving as chairman of the
Thirteenth ward, and as delegate to
state, county and city conventions, he
has never prior to his tenure of the
office of Register of Deeds of Milwau-
kee county sought or held political
office.
Before entering upon the duties of
Register of Deeds of Milwauk ee county
Mr.. Mas was engaged in the seed bust
ness, first with Currie Brothers and
later as manager of the Wernich Seed
company, which position he resigned
at the time of his appointment by
Governor La Toilette, and in which
firm he still retains an interest.
All the attorneys, real estate men
and the public in general agree that
the office of Register of Deeds has
never been more satisfactorily admin
istered as under Mr.. Mas, and as a
result he has the Endorsement of every
prominent attorney and real essate
man in the city and county of Milwau-
kee, who want to see the present able
administration continued. In addition
to this all of the best people of the
county have joined in the petition for
him to again make the run for the
Office, as reward for the good and
faithful service which he has rendered
Mr. Mas is prominent in social and
and fraternal organizations being
identified with the Knights of Pythias,
Woodmen of the World, Modern Wood
men of America, the Travellers Protec-
tive association, Poultry Fanciers'
association and the Millioki club.
The nomination of Mr.. Mas praeti-
cally means his election, and his
administration of the affairs Of the
Office merits both his nomination and
election to a second term.

HOW THE STARS ARE COUNTED.
Use Made of the Microscope and of
Photographic Plates.

The gigantic but fascinating task
which j. Franklin-Adams, f. K. A. s.,
has undertaken of counting the myriad
stars in the heavens and assigning TO
each its proper magnitude is one which
demands the quality of almost infinite
patience.
Mr.. Franklin-Adams has already Sc
cured Photographic plates covering the
whole of the southern hemisphere. and
these with the series dealing with the
northern hemisphere will number more
than 200. Each plate, which is 10 inches
square, records from 10000 to 100000
starry images, and on rough calcula-
ton the total number of stars photo
graphed will prove to be about $1,000
700.
The task of counting the stars on the
plates has already been commenced, and
that work together with the cataloguing
viii cake another ten years. The method
OF counting the stars on the plates was
explained yesterday by Il. ]. Mitchell,
Mr.. Franklin-Adams' chief assistant.
First taking one of the plates,' said
Mr.. Mitchell, I'VE move it across a

course il is impossible to insure abso-

that a star may be counted twice or
missed altogether.
Then there is the difficulty presented
by mechanical specks on the plates
which may at first be taken for stars;
but Mr.. Franklin-Adams has a method
by means Of which all stars above the
tenth magnitude can be differentiated
from dust speeks. Mr.. Franklin-Adams
and his assistant check one another in
the counting, but there is always a
slight difference in the totals. due of
