q AIRY, Half as Expenses, No Ex-
tras for Hospitality.

London.-The voting of the Eng
lish kings civil list has led Mrs.
Crawford. the Paris correspondent OF
Truth. to tell how French presidents
fare in the matter of expenses. A
French president receives S240.0Oo
year. half as salary and half as ex-
penses, no extra allowance for hospi-
pitality being made except on excep-
tional occasions. He has no pension.
He profits by few minor perquisites
outside his salary, such as vegetables,
from what were formerly the royal
gardens at Versailles, fruits from Fon-
tainebleau, game from those state for
ests where he has shooting. and hay
for his horses from the presidential
seat at Rambouillet. The state pays
for his men servants in the stables
only, but allows for the coachman.
though not for chauffeur or secre-
taries. His military and naval STATS
are maintained by the war and ma
rine ministries.
Felix Faure, when president, OBJ
tained from the parliament money for
building and keeping up palace
train. Railway companies, when the
president goes into the provinces Of
ficially, are glad to give it-and any
extra cars he may want-the freedom
of their lines for the sake Of the ex-
cursion business this brings. This en-
ables the president to reserve the
$4,000 allowed for travelling ex-
penses for tips to railway servants,
servants at prefectures. and for char
tiles.
The French president never gives
less than 800 to the railway en-
ployes. His contributions to charity
funds at the hospitals he visits and
donations to mayors for the poor are
heavy. He also is expected to sub
scribe to relief funds for victims Of

Harlem Pastor Says There 10 More

New York.-Potatoes pay SO much
better than theology, according to the
view of Rev. DIR. William Justin Har-
sha, formerly well known as pastor OF
the Second Reformed church In Har-
lem. that he has stopped preaching and
taken to farming.
He was forceful and brilliant
preacher and his resignation from his
pulpit here was a sensation eleven
years ago. He left the city and sent
his resignation from southern Texas.
Rev. Dr.. Harsha had many financial
trtbulat1ons, which came upon him to
the amount Of $4,000, owing to his
signing the notes of western publish
ing house which failed. His creditors
pursued him to this city and sought to
attach his salary
According to an article from his pen,
which appears in the current number
of the magazine, Success, Rev. DR..
Harsha gathered together about $1,000,
with which he and his wife, his son and
his two young daughters went out in
search of pastures new. He was so
impressed with the idea that the min
istry offered no future that he dropped

Tasks for Burbank.

Luther Burbank, the wizard of plant
life, has. itseems, perfected a new pop
by. of titanic dimensions and brilliantly
variegated coloring, together with a
primrose of vestal wilderness five inches
in diameter. He has proven that he can
do almost anything with plants and flow
ers. 1t has been suggested that he
might devote his energies to producing
a bachelors button that can be scwed
on so that it won't come off. and sage
brush to go with the coxcomb But
there are great many other horticul-
tural needs to which he ought TO devote
his attentions. Some persons are urg-
ing Burbank to give them cantaloupe
without hole in the middle, raspber-
ries and blackberries without seeds and
odorless onions.
Those who have become disaifected
with the new-fangled breakfast cereals
want Burbank to devise a mushroom
that will yield superior grade of mush,
and they hope that by crossing lemons
and watermelons plant may be evolved
that will contain lemonade. just as some
varieties of cactus are reservoirs of
water. They fully expect that by graft
ing apples on pine trees he can produce
pineapples. and they look to him with
confidence to get prunes by properly
pruning the hedges. But while every
body wishes Burbank would give them
the best kind of thyme. some people
wish:the thyme were shorter and others
want it longer. Others object to Bur
banks activities in general, on the
ground that he is CRATER 1t is inn
possible to please every one. -Philadel-

The primary purpose was to receive

the acreage planted for this years yield.
II was announced that $50, 600 cases
Of canned tomatoes are now held by
packers in the three States. including
the quantity remaining unsold in Balti-
more City. Last year at this time the
amount on hand was more than 1000, 600
cases. The acreage is about rs per cent.
less than that planted last year in Mary
land, Delaware and New Jersey. The
reduction is due to the low prices that
obtained last season.
