THE UPPER AIR.

Danger In the Chill That Comes With
tho Fall of Night.
Few people who visit Denver realize
that it is located only few feet short
of a mile above the sea level AT such
attitudes the climate is always treach-
erous. The midday sun may be brOil-
ing hot, but after dark the air is soon
chilled and one is liable to contract a
cold.
Several Of the Spanish cities stand
upon the erests Of tall hills, where
such climatic changes occur after
nightfau. When. as a bog at the grand
opera, | saw Spanisrds In Carmen
or "The Barber of Seville" toss their
long cloaks or capes about their faces
I assumed that the act was intended
to disguise them-to hide their faces
Nothing of the sort. The Spaniard
ike the Italian of the Alpine regions
always covers his mouth after sun
down to minimize danger to his lungs
from the night air.
Curiously the women haven't any
fear of the chill that follows the dark
ness. They may be seen in low cul
| bodices at all hours Of the evening IL
the cafes. at balls and on the streets
The men, however. are In terror o.
cold night winds. Pneumonia and tn
berculosis carry off great many vie
tins in Spain and northern Italy

Leoend of Moses.

The story Of the cause of Moses
slowness of speech is given in the Tai
mud and runs as follows: Pharaoh was
one day sitting on his throne with
Moses on his lap when the child took
off the kings crown and put it on his
own head. The wise men" tried to
persuade the king that this was trea-
son. for which the child ought to be
put to death, but Jethro replied: 1t Is
the act of a child who knows no bet

one containing gold and the other red
hot Goals. and you will find he will pre-
fer the latter 10 the former" The ex

A SHREWD LAWYER.

The Way jeremiah Mason FIoored an
important Witness.
Jeremiah Mason, a celebrated Ameri-
can lawyer, possessed to marked De
gree the instinct for finding the weak
point.
He was once cross examining a wit
ness who had previously testified TO
having heard Mason's client make
certain statement, and so important
was this statement that the adverse
rvs case was based on it alone
Several questions were asked by Ma
son. all of which the witness answered
with more or less hesitation. Then he
vas asked to repeat once more the
statement he had heard made With
ont hesitation he gave 1t word TOT
word as he had given it in the direct
examination A third time Mason lel
the witness round TO this statement.
and again it was repeated verbatim
Then. without warning, he walked IL
the witness stand and, pointing straight
at the witness, said in perfectly uii
fmpassioned voice, Lets see that pa
per Won have in your waistcoat pocket
Taken completely by surprise, the
witness mechanically took paper from
the pocket indicated and handed it II
the lawyer.
There was profound silence in tbs
courtroom as the lawyer slowly read Il
a cold. calm voice the exact words o
the witness in regard to the statemen
and called attention to the fact tha
| they were in the handwriting Of coun
sci on the other side He then gathere'
I'D his papers with great deliberatlon
remarked that there seemed to me II
further need for his services and de
! married. from the courtroom.
Mason was asked how he knew tina
the paper was in the witness pocket
well" explained Mason, ut SCENE
TO me that he gave that part of his ties
timony more as if he'd learned it tina
az if he had heard it Then, too, l M
ticed that at each repetition of his ties
timony he put his hand to his wals
coat pocket and then let it fall agal

The great simplicity of the haplts
of General Robert e Lee was one rea-
son for his popularity with his sci
diers He Jared no better than ms
troops. There were times when for
weeks the southern army had but
short rations. often doing entirely
withont meat. In ~The Old South
and the New AR. Charles Morris tells
an amusing story of one OF these pc
RODS of scarcity
On n very stormy day several corps
and division generals arrived at mead
ouarters and were waiting for the
rain 70 abate before riding to their
camns when General Lees cook an
nounced dinner. The general invited
his visitors to dine with him. On re-
nairing to the table tray of hot corn
bread. a boiled head of cabbage sea
soned with a very small piece OF ba-
con and bucket of water constituted
the repast-
The niece of meat was so small that
lau politely declined taking any, ex-
pressing themselves as very fond OF
boiled cabbage and corn bread" on
which they dined-
OF course the general was too polite
TO eat meat in the presence Of guest
who had declined it. But later in tbs
afternoon, when they had all gone
feeling very hungry, he called bis
servant and asked him to bring him
piece Of bread and meat
The darby looked perplexed and EN-
barrassed and said In a deprecatini
tone: well, Marse Robert, dat mea
what 1 sot before you at Dime

A Marrow "Street."

The English town of Great Var

be considered the narrowest built up
street in the world. This thoroughfare
is known as Kitty Witches row, and
measurement gives its greatest width
as fifty-six inches, The entrance would
seriously inconvenience a stout person,
as Twenty-Five inches is all that is

Commercial Fig Growing.

r H Bushway of Algoa read
naper on Commercial Fig Growing,
which was enc of the most interest
ing to come before the convention
Mr.. Bushway dwelt particularly up
on the Magnolia fig He stated that
if has never been definitely known
inst where the Magnolia fig came
from or how it received its name, but
that it was first introduced into this
| country at Indianola. Texas, about
the early sixties. Commercially 1t
dates back about fifteen years. For
preserving. this fig is superior to all
other varieties and growers are now
receiving $50 per ton for their pro-
duct as against $15 per ton paid for
the ordinary fig in California. Not all
soils in this district, in his opinion
are adapted to Magnolia fig. The sol
should be a deep black sandy loan
with good drainage. A great many
| people Ihdue the liiioOoNO u
ing the Magnolia fig and the Bruins
wick which are separate and dis
tinct varieties.
Mr.. Bushway was asked by Mr.
Ford if these trees had any insect en-
emies. Mr.. Bushway replied tina
there is one parasite which work
on figs but that they worked on tn
roots. That he had found that nv
pounds of lime and five pounds o
blue stonemixed with sixty gallon
of water and applied to the tree
gave the best results, and when al
: piled to his trees these parasites wer
: checked almost instantly.
