THE sUNFLowER IN RUSSIA.

The sunflower is grown in Russia
to considerable extent, the amount
Of seed crushed amounting usually to
over half a million tons. At first the
center of its cultivation was in the
provinces of Tehernigov. Kief. Pol
tava and Kharkov, but now the prin-
cipal cultivation of the plant has
moved farther southeast into the
kuban territory and the Province of
StavrOpol. Much of the seed is eaten
by the populace similar to the way
Americans use peanuts, being eaten
either raw or roasted. The bulk of
the seed. however, is pressed for its
oil, which finds a ready sale here as
welcome Lenten fare Since the
introduction of improved methods of
refining a very palatable oil with a
clear and pleanant yellow tint has
been produced. The oil is sold here
at SO to sos per zoe pounds As
a rule it is shipped in ordinary wood
en- casks, although lately tin canisters
have been used successfully. Small
shipments have been made as an ex-

SELLING GOODS IN MEXICO.

Many bright American statesmen have
gone to Mexico and the southern re-

course in the Spanish language, only to
find themselves entirely outclassed by
the slow, phlegmatic German or Eng

had evidently been informed upon the
Spanish American ways Of doing bust

THE LIONS HEAD.
Orioin of Its Use as Decoration For
Fountains.

"The sun glows in the Lion,' says
Seneca. meaning that when the sun
enters the sign of Leo at the summer
solstice the highest temperature Oh
the wear is experienced. We may say
on the other hand that the Babylon
inn ostrolOgers thousands of years ago
placed the king of beasts, the merry
and ferocious lion, in that part OF
the zodiac which the sun enters at the
summer solstice.
The constellation which Is called
Leo bears very little resemblance to
tbe outline OF a lion. Probably the
name was originally applied onl y TO
its principal star, Regulus. 1t Is 10
this constellation in the zodiac tnat
we owe the countless water speWins
lions head which are found IN an
cient and modern fountains, because
i'm the latter part of July. while the
sun is still in the sign Leo. the Nile
is at its highest level.
Furthermore. the lions head with
widely open jaws is i'm itself very
suitable for the mouth or fountaln
or waterspout. This decorative moth
was employed unlNeISdiiS
the Greco Roman world. Lion
heads are found used in this way at
Athens, Ephesus, olympia, Aggrlgen-
tum and countless other places. IL
is not quite certain that this employ
ment of the lions head originated in
Egypt. Curtius describes an Assyrian
bas- relief from Bairan showing water
streaming from the ring shaped ves-
sci A lion stands as if on guard on
either side OF the fountain.
The water clock, which was used
in judicial proceedings. had the form
of lion and n name which means
the guardian Of the stream. Hence
the idea of protection may have been
the origin of the association of lions
with fountains. and this custom may
have originated in Asia-Scientific

Drastic French Customs.

These are hard times for French
smokers. and there is much grum-
bling against the government TOBACCO
monopoly.
After appreciably increasing the
price of tobacco. cigars and cigarettes
of all except the commonest cattgo-
ries. il has now curtailed the supply
of wax vestas by reducing the con-
tents Of the penny box from forty 10
thirty But worse remains behind.
II has been discovered that the en-
HANGED price of tobacco is aggravated
by a serious shortage in weight. a
purchaser of two packets. finding that
even with the wrappings they were
considerably under weight. lodged
them with the nearest police com
missary, and instituted proceedings
protesting that dishonest trading on
the part Of the state is no more 1uStl-
fable than i'm the case of private lndl-
viduals.
British tourists should be warned
that they will be heavily taxed for any
tobacco or cigars they may bring into
France. The idea that ten cigars are
allowed in duty free is not admitted IN
the practice of the custom house.
A recent visitor declared nine cigars
and was charged Sd. on each, while
some three ounces of tobacco, every
grain of which was carefully weighed
was taxed exactly 100 per cent OF It's
retail cost. The officers declared that
they had the right to levy duty on
single cigar.
The delay to which the traveller is
subjected by these eXactions is not
the least veXatious part OF the buSl-
ness. 1t may mean the missing OF
trains or other equally important en-
gagements.
One of the latest exploits of the re-
lentless "Regie" is the prosecution or
a poor woman for making and selling
chocolate and cocoa cigarettes, such
as are familiar in every English sweet
shop. on the ground that this Is a
fraudulent form of competition with

Ginqer For Temper.

Always eat ginger in the morning.
That is the newly discovered cure
for the got-out- Of bed the wrong
side feeling that afflicts so many Eng
lishmen in the morning.
For many years." a correspondent
writes, II have been the victim of
my own ungovernable temper and
have never been able to get myself
amiabe before luncheon time. Last
week a friend presented me with a
jar Of preserved ginger and my good
fairy suggested to me that it would
be nice as a relish at breakfast.
"Since 1 have been taking 1t my
frame Of mind in the morning has
rapidly improved and now I am able
to start the day as cheerily as ty-
pical country farmer. Is it the ging-
er that has worked this cure?"
A well known doctor said that II
people would only eat ginger at break
fast their health would improve In
many respects and they would start
the day much reader for work than
they do now.
"Ginger," he said contains an es-
sential oil which acts as a fine nerve
tonic. 1t promotes digestion IS an
excellent stomach tonic and is ex-
tremely good for the liver
1.-The liver is the organ which makes
people so morose in the morning
Until 1t has been well stirred up by
the days work it Is in a lethargic
condition, and frequently the brain
Is in the same state, for its blood
supply Is not right.
Now if people who experience
these symptoms would only take
plenty of ginger at breakfast their
livers would act properly and their
digestion would improve to an extent
they can not realize.
IT am perfectly certain that II
more ginger were eaten the world
would be a very much better place
to live in, for nine-tenths Of the peo-
ple who are now unbearable until
they have worked the bile out of their
systems would then be as jolly and
bright in the morning as they are at

The Peach Tree Borer.-NeXt to the
San Jose scale this Is the most de-
structive peach insect in the state
Every fruit grower is familiar with its
work. The time Is approaching When
effective work for preventing the raw
ages of this pest next year can be done.
Briefly stated the life history OF this
insect is as follows: The small brown

bark or in wounds on the base of the
tree and also on exposed roots. THESE
soon hatch and the small larvae Degln
burrowing into the sap and outer layer
of wood, where they continue to de-
velop until growth Is checked by cold
weather. In this condition they lie dor
mant, except for an occasional inter
ruption by warm weather, until tne
approach of spring, when feeding is
resumed and continued until about the
tenth Of June. At this time the fully
developed larva leaves the tree and
forms a cocoon or capsule about one
inch in length, composed OF SILK, IN the
soil at the base of the tree. In this CO.
coon the larva passes qulescent per
iod of about three weeks, finally
emerging as a beautiful moth, the male
of which slightly resembles an ordl-
nary wasp. The beautifully coloreu
female begins laying eggs, FOR the next
generation, soon after emerging, about
July 10. Approximately speaking, the
egg laying period extends from July
10 to October l.
If the soil is banked around the Dase
of the infested trees to depth OF about
ten inches after the larvae have enter
ed the soil for pupation, which is about
June 20, the resulting moths VIII perlsh

possible ones that may have escaped,
from laying their eggs on the moist
portion of the tree. Many of the eggs
laid higher up on the trunks OF the

Mr.. HARRISON, and having him think
us all mad, and me a fool.
In all that overcrowded house there
was only one place where l could be
miserable with comfort. So I stayed
on the roof, and cried little and then
became angry and walked up and
down, and clenched my hands and bab-
bled helplessly. The boats on the riv-
er were yellow, horizontal streaks
through my tears, and an early search
light sent it's shaft like a tangible
thing in the darkness, just over my
head. Then, finally, curled down in
corner with my arms on the parapet,
and the lights became more and more
prismatic and finally formed them
selves into a circle that was Bella's
bracelet, and that kept whirling around
and around on something fiat and not
over clean, that was Flannigan's palm.
