Peas and Ientils.

The word pea" Is derived from
Pisa, n Greek city OF Ellis. which seems
to have been the center of the pea
growing industry for years before the
time OF Christ. The antiquarians aver
that the mess pottage," for which
Esau sold his birthright was a dish
of peas In those times they were
called '1entils," and even at the pres
ent day the English common people
of several of the English shires, nota-
bly, Mlddlesex as well as 0xfordshire,
call them "tils," dropping the Zen"
In the time OF Mary they were called
'peasons," and in the time Of Charles
|. "pease"

LARGEST Water Tank,

The water supply system of Calcut-
ia includes the largest water tank in
the world. 1t covers an area OF two
and a half acres. and the total weight
when it is full of water is 1900 tons,
There are thirty-two miles of steel
joists in the vertical columns and brac-
ings and in the foundations twenty
miles of steel joists and tie bars.
The capacity Of the tank is 100000
gallons of water. The tank acts ms n
balancer and to assist the pumps when
they cannot send sufficient water into
the mains to meet the demand During
the night hours, when the pumps pro
vide more water than is required the
excess quantity goes into the tank.
When the demand is greater the water
from the tank flows automatically into
the mains.-New York Herald.

Dynamite and Tree plantino.

Possibly what at first sight appears
to be the strangest application of dyna-
mite is for the purpose Of planting
trees. Yet its success in this connec-
ton is said to be peculiarly remarka-
BILE. When hole is made with a
spade the surrounding soil is left In
its hard condition. The result is that
the roots find 1t difficult to start. They
are cramped in the tight quarters Of
the hole and cannot pierce the sur
rounding hard wall of earth. With
dynamite a large clean hole is blasted
out, and in addition, the soil on all
sides is loosened for five or six feet
When the tree is planted the young
and tender roots force their way with
out effort through the crevices. suck
ing up nourishment, and commence 10
grow from the moment they are set
without any retardation whatever.

M0NARCHS AND COINS.
Napoleon In Temper and Louis Phi
lippe on a Hunt.

The great Napoleon was not great
at the whist table, and a characteris-
tic story is told OF him at ST. Helena.
At private party of whist he took
out four napoleons to use as markers,
and one of the young ladies took up
one OF the coins and asked him what
it was. The polite hero snatched it
rather roughly from her and, pointing
to the impression, exclaimed, "Cest
moi"
The annoyance caused by this Incl
dent ruffied him so much that he made
a misdeal. The party begged him TO
try again, and he did so with the same
result. His countenance then display
ed the RACES of convulsive fury, and
his anger was not appeased until the
house mad been searched for old cards,
which could be more easily dealt.
Meantime the unhappy Count Las
Cases, his only attendant, was ordered
to sit down at spare table to play
the cards alone until they should run
smoothly.
Louis Philippe showed equal regard
for the coin that bore his name He
dropped a louis on the carpet while
playing whist and arrested the prog
ress of the game to look for it, where
one of the party set fire to billet of
10ce francs to give light TO the king
under the table.

Agriculture.
New England agriculture is com
ing TO the front, the man west and
south of New England is turning with
inquiring eyes in this direction. There
are various reasons for this. New
England still has accorded to the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, an
abundance of relatively cheap and fer
tile lands, making it possible to sue
cessfully undertake farming without
heavy outlay of capital; it has near
ness to the best cash markets of the
world; its farm products bring high
prices; 1t shows practically unlimit-
ed outlet right at home for more than
it can produce; rates of freight to
market are especially low compared
with the long hauls for the West,
though not yet as low as they should
be in some instances. In all these
respects Bennington county is the
most favored county in the state of
Vermont

SUES NSHlp
FOR RENT DUE
Old Feud Between Cottrells
and Fountains Revived.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy March 19-An inter
estfng law suit to those in Madison
township and to SOME in South Am
boy, was tried before Judge Wood
bridge yesterday In the New Bruins
wick court. The suit was brought
by Herbert and Frank Cottrell
against Madison township to recover
rem for a house rented by Richard
BerIew, overseer of the poor of Mad
ison township, for the use of the
family of Charles Herbert who, for
the greater part ofNtheir time were
supported by the township. This
house was rented by Mr.. Berlew in
1908, in 1903. George Harrington
became o%verseer of the poor in Mad
ison township and the Herberts
were continued by him in the Cot
trel1 house until the present time.
1t developed on the trial by the
evidence of Mr.. BerIew that he asked
the authority of the township COM
mittee to rent this house for the
Herberts and that they assented to
the same. He also stated that the
committee had always during his in
cumbency in office, paid bills without
an order signed by a justice of the
peace.
In October Of the year 1910, Mr..
Harrington, the present overseer, Scr
cured from Justice Mason an order
signed by him for the payment of the
rent during his ineumbency in the
office of o%verseer, which the commit
tee refused to pay, 1t being alleged
as a reason that there was i'll feeling
between James Fountain and the
Cottrell boys, as they are termed,
and that was the reason why the bills
were held up.
The witnesses for the plaintiffs
were Herbert Cottrell, Richard Ber-
lew, George Harrington and Justice
r. P. Mason: For the township the
town clerk, James Fountain, Am
brose Green and Frank Lambertson
committeeman of the township. The
odore Strong, Esq, represented the
plaintiffs and H. Brewster Willis the
township.

but I saw that they wouldn't come out. Then

those few but many more had come. Then
my head became worse and worse, and my
scalp started to itch terribly, SO that l could
not sleep nor keep from scratching my head.
THE crustlike places later opened and
made sores which bled, and they also itched
something terrible. I tried many remedies
but none helped and instead they made my
head worse. This condition OF my scalp
kept up fer q month, and then ono day 1

Special TO the EVENING NEWS.
Spotswood, March 19:-But very
little interest has been displayed In
the annual school election, which
viii take place at 100 o'clock tonight
In the school house. Three commits
sioners are to be elected at the
Board of Education, to succeed John
p. Applegate, Charles Fl. Shelters
and Charles HI. De Voc, who Is dis
triet clerk and secretary of the
board. From present Indications it
is very probable that the three edu-
Gators mentioned in the foregoing
will be reelected, unless eleventh
hour opposition develops. The men
have served faithfully and no doubt
would appreciate the honor of an
other term.
1t is the passing of the old ap-
pointtfve board. When the borough
was Incorporated in 1908, Mayor A.
B. Appleby was called upon to ap-
point a school board, and the three
whose terms expire on April 1, we're
selected for three years. The other
six commissioners appointed by the
mayor either have been reelected or
dropped from the ranks for personal
reasons. This evenings meeting will
be called to order by Clerk De
Voc, who will preside during the
election of a chairman. A secretary
of the meeting will thereupon be
selected and the balloting ballots
prepared. No names will be printed
On the ballots This year. The pres
ent commissioners and the date of
the expiration of their terms are as
follows: John p. Apologize, Charles
HI. Shelters, Charles III. De Voc.
