1t has lately become known, on
unimpeachabls authority. that the
president Of one OF the prominent
railway companies OF the country
has invested most OF his wealth in
farm lands In the west. This has
caused great astonishment In east
ern financial circles. especially in
the purlieus OF Wall street. whore
the opinion prevails that stocks
and bonds should Invariably be Civ

In agricultural land when he can

rate OF Z PSF cent per annum. and

Though this question may seem

with the returns ON the funds he
has himself invested n them In or

He may even believe that the
market value should appreciate de-
cidedly and add to his holdings ct
favorable opportunities.
In spite of all this, however, he
may, ~ the same time. be of the
firm opinion that he can advautAge
himself IN q much greater degres
by investing most of his money In
farm land. whether productive on

he? He bad and has plenteous op-
portunity to observe the gainfulnesa
of such investments. resultant from
the rapidly enlarging inquiry for
fertile land in all parts of the
west. He has seen the rise OF
many towns along his line within
the space OF a few years. the con-
unuous flow OF immigration from
the eastern states, the uninterrupt-

and the reaping of copious harvests

OF the curioSities OF the vegetable
kingdom. being not a tree, I palm, q
bush, a shrub, a vegetable or a herb
but herbaceOus plant with the status
OF a tree. Although it sometimes at
tains height OF thirty feet, there is
no woody fiber in any part Of its sruc-
ture, and the lunches growing on the
dwarf banana plant are often heavier
than the stalk which supports them.
No other plant gives such a quantity
Of food to the acre as the banana. 1t

curiosities Of Sunsrstition.

When Egypt was in the height Of
her power. when she was most highly
civilized and delighted in being called
the mistress of the land and sea, her
people woEshiped - black pun. There
was some discrimination. however,
even In this form OF worship. In order
to be an object Of mad alteration it was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with a circular white spot in the ex-
act center Of his forehead, and the
advent OF such a creature in any herd
was the signal OF wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border
Of the Lybian desert Even as late as
the time Of Cleopatra, star eyed god
dess, glorious sorceress OF the Nile,
such animals were shod with gold and
lad their horns tipped with the same
metal. Herodotus tells Of a man Who
aisd with grief because he sold q ,ow
that soon after became the mother Of q
black bull calf marked with the sacred

buccaneers, headed by the notorious
Thomas Cavendish, had laid all their

tending to massacre the Inhabitants
and carry away all the treasure they
conveniently could, and had actually
put on their boats for that purpose
As they approached the land, however,
rowing with mufied oars, they were
greatly surprised to see an infinits

which fringed the bayou up which
they had to proceed, and, concluding
that the Spanierds knew OF their ap-

heard OF this experiment was dissat-

the pencil was not used on the work.
and therefore he bought a pencil and

Silence is commonly the slow poison
used by those who mean to murder
love. There is nothing violent about
It. No shock IS given. Hope is not
abruptly strangled, but merely dreams
Of evil and fights with gradually sti-
fling shadows. When the last cOnvul-
sions come they are not terrific. The
frame has been weakened for dissolu-
tion- Love dies like natural decay. II
