Count Hannic, a Polish nobleman,
has committed suicide in Paris under
the most dramatic circumstances. He
has been one Of the best known club
men in this city for some years past
and an inveterate gambler. Ten years
ago he possessed a big fortune.
which bad luck at cards and extrav-
Agant habits had reduced him almost
to restitution. His intimate friends
knew that ruin was staring him in
the face.
Count Hannic entered his club on the
boulevard DIES Capucines and proposed
game OF cards with one OF his
friends. 'At a dollar a game" he
said, so as not to be eXtravagant.
The friend consented and the Count
won.
They played another game and the
Count won again. Quits Or double,
said the Count He won once more.
At that moment a clubman looked at
the hand of the Counts opponent and
exclaimed. What are you doing?
You must be mad. You are throwing
away the game. Your hand is full of
trumps."
The Count looked up quickly. turned
pale and put down his cards. Rising
to his feet he said. II beg your pardon,

London, Jan S5.-The return
from abroad OF the Prime Minister
has once more aroused the govern
lnent press against Lord Curzon OF
kedlestoE who some three weeks
ago practically told SIR Campbell
Baunerman that he had better give
him peerage that would seat him
in the House of Lords or he would
be sorry
A daily paper whose language has
always been considered beyond
reproach says the former Viceroy
of India: The independoS Of
Lord Carzon who has evidently not
yet given UP HI; idea OF getting
q seat among the decrepite octage-
narians who ruake up the House OF
Lords, is a perfect specimen Of the
unconscious manner in which these
Indifferent specimens of humanity,
with handle to their names assume
their superiority to the rest of
mankhd Stripped of the verbiage
with whEh this pompous and pre-
tentious prlg clothes his punny
thoughts. his claim tmounts merely
to this: That because he Baron
Curzon desires a peeraee. there
fore the Prime Minister should
confer it upon him..
When he was in the House Of
Commons the airs he assumed as
Under-Secretary Of Foreign Affairs
provoken the merriment Of the
rest Of the Assembly. The egres-
Gus vanity of man who publicly
.scolds the Prime Minister for not
making him a peer is not even
amusing. 1t irr,tates the ordinary
citizen, who has some respect for
the decencies of public life, ond
Baron Curzon has deliberately in
suited the King as well as the
Prime Minister.

FOR MELON GROWERS.
How You Can Tell When a canta-
loupe Is Ready to Pick.

While it is not a difficult matter TO
tell when a cantaloupe is ripe, yet it
requires considerable skill and ex-
perience to be able to Judge Just the
right time or stage at which the melon
will ripeu nicely and reach the mar
ket in good condition. The practice
of allowing them to get ripe or yellow
on the vines, except in very cool
weather. destroys both the fine flavor
and the crisp freshness of the flesh, as
well as their ability to stand shipping
to market. AS soon As the melon be-
gins to ripen, especially Of the small
frhited kinds, the stems crack slightly
away from the melon. and sometimes
a few small drops OF bright. red juice
appears in the cracks, rendering II
more noticeable AS soon as this
crack appears the melon should be
picked and shipped to market. The
melons should be picked every morn
ing while 1t is yet cool, IL possible,
and on very hot days the patch should
be gone over again in the afternoon.
They should be picked much closer on
a hot day than on cool one, as the
state OF the weather has direct in.

SALADS In SUMMER

and vegetables when the weather is

and rich puddings that in winter gave

There are not many prettler or
pleasanter dishes in warm weather

the benefit of the thrifty housewife it
may be added that few things are
more economical, as they utilize
daintily all sorts of scraps, that in hot
weather especially sour quickly. and
are thus wasted. As matter of fact,
there is scarcely anything in the way

BOXES VS.. BARRELS FOR APPLES.

piled that whether boxes or barrels
were used depended upon the demand
of the particular market. He says:

THE RoTTlNe OF APPLES.
six Principal Kinds. of Disease Which
Attack the Fruit.

There are six principal kinds OF
rots that attack apples, and perhaps
there are minor ones. These six are
the bitter rot, black rot. blue mold.
brown rot. pink rot and one that has
no English name. but is known only
by its scientific name, Alternarid.
Blue mold seems to be able to grow
at a lower temperature than any of
the other molds. Some apples were
iaoculated with the spores OF all these
molds and rots and placed in cold
storage at Just below freezing, 81 de-
grees. At the end of nine weeks the
blue mold had spread in all the APP
pies In which II had been pricked,
while none of the other molds had de.
veloped at all,
This is interesting, as showing what
We may expect from fruit kept In cold
storage. It's keeping depends largely
on whether or not the blue mold has
obtained a foothold on the fruit.
On the other hand when the apples
that had been inoculated with the
other rots were taken into a living
room where the temperature was at
20 degrees, a normal temperature for
human beings, all the different molds
and rots developed with great rapidity.
In two weeks all Of the fruits were
half or wholly rotten.
The lesson to be drawn from this,
says Farmers Review, is that the
grower of apples must know some
thing about the different kinds of rot
so that he can tell when his fruit is
affected. Such affected fruit must be
dealt with according to its exposure.
II It has become affected with blue
mold germs II must be put to some
immediate use rather than be put into
cold storage.
Molds and rots are produced by
vegetable organisms that are like
plants in that some will grow in one
temperature and some in another.
However, all of the molds and rots
that affect apples will grow at above
As degrees. Therefore in the ordinary
cellar 1t is impossible to keep fruit
that has been exposed to any of these
rots
The germs OF the various diseases
| are not killed by low temperature
| they are only reduced TO n quiescent
state. Therefore when apples that
have become inoculated by the forms
/ other than blue mold come out of the
storage house they begin TO develop
these rots very rapidly. and the peo
| pie imagine that the cold storage ex
perience has the power of making
fruit rot more quickly than 1t other
wise would. We have probably nc
good reason for believing this.
The least aggressive rot seems tS
be the pink rot; and apples that have
been affected with pink rot before
storage will frequently be ut 10 sci
two or three weeks after the apples
come out of cold storage.
