SIXTEEN HEAD CABBAGE

Julius Weinstein, who tills the soil
., an humble way on bit OF land
fronting on Blue Hill avenue, Rox-
hurv Mass, was very much sur
nrised farmer this season when he
watched a bunch of cabbages break
through the ground. There were many
~ the usual size and shape, but some
how or other sort Of brotherly at
tschment was formed between
h,,nch Of heads so that they insisted
on playing the role OF siamese Twins
eight times over.
When they had reared themselves

Weinstein cut short their existence in
The soil and he then had fine freak
to show his neighbors. 16 heads OF

Say "I'm a StalWart."

Not without a little pride look
back on the fact that the newspaper
reports sent from Washington from
day to day following the shooting Of
President Garfield by Guiteau accu-
rately foreshadowed the presidents
death. And, curiously enough, one Of
the incidents that caused me right
from the start to take most serious
view Of the nature of the presidents
wound occurred not more than an
hour after Garfield had been shot
down in the railroad station.
Garfield had been carried to one of
the executive offices on the second
floor Of the station, and while the ply
sicians worked over him and we who
we're representing the press of the
country were gathered on the floor
below, I beheld Col Robert G.. Inger-
soil coming down the stairs that led
to the upper tier of Offices. l knew

asked: Have you seen the presi-

his emotions sufficiently to speak.

Garfield recognized me and tried to
speak encouragingly, but his voice
was almost In whisper. He Is lying
on a sort Of improvised couch and l

been told that he had been shot In

spinal column had been injured I

Far away in Asia Minor, under the
shadow Of high, sharp hill, two bro
ken columns have stood for centuries,
looking toward little river, alone,
rising from mass Of vegetation that
covers the fallen tops Of two or three
of their fellows. They are beautiful
Ionic columns, and they mark all that
is left of the city Of the man whose
name still stands today for wealth in
acknowledgements, king of Lydia,
who ruled in Sardis. The columns
had not been disturbed for many CEN
turtles, probably not since the year
II, when suddenly it came into the
mind of an American to go and find
their secret. The American was Prof.
H. G. Butler of Princeton university,
the well-known archaeologist. and he
had little difficulty in interesting

a fork. She felt something catch the
fork, and, on examining 1t, found to
her surprise a needle and thread.
Happening to be visiting at the house
at the time, was at once informed
of the extraordinary find. and the
needle with the thread attached was
put into my hand. My first idea was
that the needle might have dropped
from the girls dress, but I was as
sured that this was not the case; and
moreover, the needle, now in my pos
session, was quite black. this being
no doubt due to the action Of the sui
phur of the yolk upon the steel of the
needle. The needle is an inch and a
half long, and the thread is six
inches.

PRAYER Receptacie.

A deaf old lady in Ansonia, Conn.
sent for clergyman, as she was ve-y
sick, and needed ministerial consola-
ton After talking on general relig-
ious topics, the good man inquired If
it was her wish that should pray
with her "Sartinly, minister, sartinly,'
was the reply. The sick one fumbled
around her bed, and finally produced
an old-fashioned ear trumpet, with
the request, as the minister opened
his prayer book. that he should pray
into that"

has been Unexpectedly satisfactory.
Sardis was a new field for the ex-
plorer, and it was confidently expected
that interesting ruins would be IN

PARTRIDGE WITH GUINEA

L. P. Sease of Morris Ford has q
flock Of IA young guinea about three
months old. Several weeks ago a
full grown partridge joined the flock,
going with them all day and nesting
under the mother hen at night. At
times the guineas come into his pi-
azza and the partridge flies on the IAN
lister and whistles as the guineas cry
"Potrack." The partridge Is as tame
as the guineas and appears perfectly
happy in it's new life and with its
gentle associates.

enough it may wander over the body
and ultimately appear at a most un-

The story of a most remarkable
string of drowning fatalities comes
from Rome. One evening the two
sons of Captain Partini were drowned
while bathing In the River Tiber. Cap
tain Partini's nephew, Max, was
drowned at the same spot next day.
An expert swimmer who attempted to
save Max was also drowned A little
later q boy of seven was drowned al
most at the same place on the river,
thus making five victims within
twelve hours.
