California Sweet Peas.

Sweet peas have Sc divisions and
some 300 subdivisions. In California,
where almost all the flower seeds are
grown, one farm Of 500 acres is given
up to the production of sweet peas
alone. The total production yearly Is
about 100000 pounds. and even when
this amount is augmented by the yield
from smaller farms 1t is almost i'm
possible to meet the demand. Sweet
pea are the most popular flowers in
America for home gardens, except the
nasturtiums, and even these can not
always compete with the sweet peas.

eun.sn'. PoeketfuI Of Orders,

Professor Bunsen thought more
highly of his scientific discoveries than
he did of the many orders and other
tokens of honor that were showered on
him during his long life. He was apt
to forget to put on his crosses and rib
bons when invited to official ceremo

mind him of his duty by putting his
various orders In the pocket Of his
dress suit trousers. On one occasion
he was invited with the other Heide-
berg professors to dine with Baden
prince. He entered the room late
after the guests had assembled, and
one of his colleagues turned to him
and said:
Excuse me, Herr Geheimrath, but
what have you done with your or

Bunsen was taken aback. He thought

Custer and Rsmseur.

In General Morris Schaff's reminis-
cences, 1.-THE Spirit of Old West
Point" there is an incident that goes
to show that not even the first bitter
ness of the struggle between the north
and the south could put out altogether
the fires of friendship. 1t was the
fate Of Stephen d. Ramseur of North
Carolina to fall in the Confederate
service. His last hours had q close
connection with West Point, where he
had been enrolled as a cadet. When
in the darkness after the battle of Ce-
dar Creek the Union cavalry charged
the broken and fleeing remnants of a
division of Early's corps, Custer, who
was in the midst, heard one Of his
troopers who had seized the horses ask
the driver whom he had in his ambu-
lance.

weak, husky voice.
Whereupon Custer who recognized
the voice as one he had so often heard
at West Point, exclaimed:
lis that you, Ramseur?"
Custer had him taken to Sheridan's
headquarters, where his old friends.
Merritt, Custer and the gallant Pen
nington, gathered around him and
showed him every tenderness to the
last. He died about 10 o'clock the next

stormy night, wrapped up in huge

They were Kentuckians, like himself.
He fell asleep and when he awoke
found them discussing his chances In
the coming campaign.
"What did Harry Clay go into poll

bit of land: he had a keen eye for
stock. If he had stuck to stock raising
he'd have been worth his fifty thou

"And," the great Kentuckian used to
add, 1.-THE worst of 1t was, every word
of 1t was true!'
It was characteristic of the man that
at the next stopping place he hurried
away and took another coach lest his
critics should recognize him and be
