AboreaI Freaks.

Among the curiosities of tree life is the solar, or whistling tree, of Nubia When the winds blow over this tree it gives out fiute-like sounds, playing away to the wilderness for hours at a time strange, weird melodies. It is the spirit of the dead singing among the branches, the natives say. but the scientific white man says that the sounds are due to a myriad of small holes which an insect bores in the spines of the branches
 The weeping tree of the Canary Isl ands is another arboreal freak. This tree in the dryest weather will rain down showers from it's leaves, and the natives gather up the water from the pool formed at the foot of the trunk. and find it pure and fresh. The tree exudes the water from innumerable pores situated at the base of the leaves

Without a slip.

The prodigious memory of the late Constant Coquelin of the Comedie Francais Is the subject of a story in the Fortnightly Review. One evening in Brussels CoquelIn was dining with the Vicente de Lovenjoul. There were several guests, among whom were two or three actors, and they were talking about memory.
 How many parts do you know well enough to play tonight If need be?' somebody asked Coquelin
 He took a sheet of paper and wrote down the names of ffty-three plays in his repertoire. His friends laughed.
 You are boasting. surely" said De Lovenjoul.
 You have every one of those plays in your library" Coquelin said, quiet ly. Get them all out and put them on the table"
 The vicomte did so.
 Now" said Coquelin, let anybody select cue from any of these plays at haphazard, and give it to me"
 They tried him with sixteen plays out of the fifty-three. and he never missed a single cue or made one mis- take

1 the food. Be 1t the czar's bear chops
 the baby bear with bright glass eyes is brought in holding his own chops on silver plate garnished with smilax. When Edward eats his fa- vorite turtle doves they come boned
 wrapped in chaud-froid sauce with cameo design in black truffies. They are ranged round bed Of Spanish chestnuts puree. But, above them. the beautiful birds spread their white wings.
 Such presentations" of the dish are the chef decorators work He-almost acknowledgements the tail of the peacock in his gorgeous feathers over the roast peacock, whose breast meat only is eaten. Never will the sauce cook try to roast nor the roaster touch a sauce. Those turtle doves pass from chef to chef, each adding what the lilac ribbon orders.
 Quellian, head chef of the old sul- tan, taken over by the new, quit the Cafe de Paris six years ago on s2.OOO per year salary and an admitted con- mission on purchases of from $6,OOO to $S,000. To-day he has a real dilet- tante to work for-the new sultan is a poet, rose grower and gourmet; but NJ. Quellian deplores the Turkish craze for stuffed meats of all kinds. They actually want the Rouen duck con- plicated with stuffing-that terrible strangled high" duck, whose sauce demands its liver festered in the suny
 M. Menager. head chef of Edward, and NJ Peltier, head chef of Queen Alexandra, have fixed salaries of SS,000, free lodgings and a rake-off of 8 per cent on all purchases accepted by them Queen Alexandra has simple tastes-a breast of Bohemian pheasant, a slice of Danube sturgeon, or a sad dle of Siberian young boar. On the contrary, King Edward probably knows more about great feeding than dId Carlos himself. He delights in plovers' eggs. He adores little birds |

On the Orient Express an enigmatiC gentleman with a mauve ribbon in his buttonhole hastens to Paris. writes a correspondent from the French capital. The Cologne Express carries another, the Sud Express a third fourth comes by the English packet. From Lisbon and St. Petersburg two start; from Rome and Constantinople two arrive. All wear the pale mauve rib bon.
 They are the cooks of four great kings.
 Without the best buffers. vinegars. wines. trufles. mushrooms. herbs, cream, spices and raw materials of all kinds. there is no grand cookery. The pantry chef hands out the ingredients of every dish completely garnished to his colleagues. He has one speciality All cold dishes are his particular care
 The kitchens of Edward, the Czar, Alfonso and Leopold are today near perfection. Francis Joseph up to ten years ago kept the most princely table of them all. When age forced him to go slow he still invited the archdukes and their suites. Then finally the force was handed over to the Archduke Ferdinand. whose simple living is nat ural and whose enthusiasm did not last a year. For the first time in 1000 years the court of the Holy Ro- man Empire Gill 1SO9) had no longer the greatest kitchen of the world.
 To-day Francis Joseph eats alone. When he goes on a gastronomic spree 1t is with frankfurters and horserad- ish, with 'spaetzle" cakes. But the kitchens of Nicholas, Edward, Alfonso and Leopold are run on the great old lines of:
 l. A pantry chef.
 2. A chef of soups, entrees and hot desserts, including souf1es, fritters (sweet or otherwise), hot fruit croutes, etc.
 8. A chef roaster. who also directs all grills and fries.
 4. A sauce chef, who rules over all that carries a sauce; fish, praised meats, etc, i. e., the majority of dishes.
 5. A pastry cook.
 6. A chef decorator. Do not think he decorates the table He decorates

Customs Officials Changed Tactics
 After Reading Telegram.
 The gentle American smuggler is putting up one fortissimo roar just now because Collector Loeb is interfer- Ing with his pastime. Half the news papers in town have their editorial pages filled with hollers from people who have been stopped and searched on the docks on their return from Eu- rope, the New. York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star says. Un- pleasant, certainly, but MT. Loeb's po- sition would seem to be supported by the fact that he has practically doubled the receipt of customs duties since he took charge here. It isn't nearly so easy to slip an inspector a green bill. and bring in an armful of oriental i pearls as it used to be. Naturally enough, the wronged persons are squeaking violently. It is annoying to be searched by total stranger-espe- cially If one has omitted to declare bunch of dutiable junk. Not all the inspectors are as polite as they might be. though little fault can rightfully be found with the majority. But they are only human. and it occasionally happens that some chesty person tries to rub their noses the wrong way, and has his own wiped in return. One such "got his" the other day, but man. aged to turn the tables in an original way. He had insulted the inspector suavely and patiently throughout the examination, being supported by the fact that he hadn't a fippence worth of dutiable stuff in his luggage The en- ragged official had dumped every last rag out of the passengers trunk upon the pier, examined it all under the mi croscope, and then reluctantly affixed the proper stamp. He started away. Here" said the arrival you pack up my trunk"
 Nix on that comedy, pa." said the inspector. Tt don't get laugh in Moo Yawk no more. Try some new stuff''
 The passenger just hissed at him and beckoned to a messenger who stood near. 'I'll let you read this tele- gram before I send it." he said to the inspector. and wrote busily. The mes- sage read:
 Secretary Knox, Washington Won't be able to dine with you this evening because of unwarranted hold up by customs inspector on the pier"
 The inspector sat right down and damned all that lingerie back into the trunk. If Mr. Knox got l telegram from a man he never heard of, stating that he could not eat din ner he had never been asked to,s this s the reason therefor.

AN OPEN MIND.

Not So Open, However, That It Cam
 not Be Closed.
 Perhaps one could not describe East Landover better than by saying that It is a village where people still wear checked aprons in the morning, white in the afternoon, and black silk when the minister and his wife come to tea. To those who know, the ceremonial of the aprons connotes many things long leisurely afternoons, sewing-cir- cles where people still sew by hand; also an interest in ones neighbors, and thorough and exhaustive knowl- edge of their characters and motives. utterly unknown to unfortunate dwell CTS in cities.
 It was at tea at Miss Serena Pot ter's that an interested guest heard bit of character analysis that gave her food for much thought.
 Marietta Barber's back from Port land" Miss Hattie Reed announced. "I saw her yesterday. She's wearing sleeves down to her knuckles She says everybody does down in Port | land"
 Marietta Barber allus did have knack for seeing the newest thing be- fore anybody else" another lady re- marked, thoughtfully. Tt ain't the going to Portland; she'd have sensed out those sleeves if she hadn't stepped off her own porch"
 She certainly has what you might call an open mind" third remarked, with a ripple of amusement in her eyes.
 It was then that Miss Serena Potter lifted up her voice. People always lis tened when Miss Serena spoke.
 Well, yes," she agreed. Marietta Barber has got an open mind-that just describes it-open twenty-four hours in the day; on Sundays tco Sometimes I wonder if the doors ain't been took off it entirely and mislaid Seems if 'twould be kind of relief to have it closed once in a spell Elf you leave your cellar door open day and night, things are bound to get in dogs or cats or chickens-that don't belong there, and won't improve the things that do belong there and 1t seems to me it ain't so very different with folks minds. As far as I can learn. it ain't till you get to the New Jerusalem and that's quite journey for most of us-that it's safe to leave doors open all the time"
 There occurred to the listener a sentence from certain pleasant es- sayist: ''The would-be reformer
  of prejudices and cultivate what is known as an open mind: not so open. either, as to interfere with its capa- bility for being violently closed as often as occasion demand"
 Miss Serena seemed to have the root If the matter.-Youths Companion

Pecan Culture.

Pecan nuts are grown successful, in several States, but mainly in those States south of parallel 40. Forty feet is generally the distance apart of the trees If the triangular method of planting is adopted forty trees can be grown to the acre. Pecan trees may bear a few nuts at an early age, but paying crops cannot be expected under ten years and full crops under twenty. The annual yield of tree in full bearing has been variously report ed at from one to twenty bushels.

One of the most perplexing features of the immigration problem is the ten dency of the newly arrived aliens to settle down in the overcrowded tene- ment districts of the great coast cities. Comparatively few have the means or disposition to penetrate into the inte- rior of the country, where workmen are more needed, and independence is more quickly and surely gained. Two years ago Congress authorized the Commissioner of Immigration to es- tablish a division of information, which should give to immigrants the kind of advice that would help them to decide where to settle, and distrib- ute those in search of work to quar- ters where their labor was needed. During the first year more than two thousand persons were thus directed to available homes or suitable places of employment, in thirty-five different States. Thirty-eight occupations and thirty-four nationalities were repre- sented. Last summer more than three thousand were sent to the harvest ueA0S Ol lHo west III cOmpdrlSOn With the total immigration, these numbers seem small. But they represent a sub stantial amount of usefulness for the new institution. As the division O. in- formation becomes more and more fa- miliar with it's work, and employees in different parts of the country come to realize its existence, its opportunities for helpful service are certain to in- crease.
