1t is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many. parents do
not realize that coffee contains a drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.

Tree earns s.2os.

What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world is an alligator pear
tree at Whittier. Cal which netted
its owner a profit of sS,205 in one
year. This tree was planted in 1906
and began bearing in its fourth year.
In 1912 it bore 5000 pears. which sold
for $500, while the sale Of buds dur
ing the same year amounted to 81
705, making the total given above.
The tree Is a Seeding. the seed hav-
ing been planted with a quantity Of
other seed which had been imported,
presumably from Mexico. Another
tree which was planted at the same
time, and which stands close to this
phenomenal bearer. has borne
more than so pears in a season. This
valuable tree is now protected by a
high fence built on an ~octagonal plan.
The pears weigh from eight to twelve
ounces each.

marks the London Weekly Telegraph,
So many are his stately pleasure
houses that some are less known to
him than to the stranger who is per
mitted to explore them with eyes of
wonder. There are, it is said, hun
dreds of rooms into which his august
feet have never entered, and there are
countless treasures Of art which he
would not recognize as his own.
Nor a we wonder that this should
be so when we consider that in and
around st. Petersburg alone there are
a dozen imperial houses, one of which
is large enough to give luxurious lodg-
ing to many thousands of guests; and
that the Kremlin at Moscow is a small
"city Of palaces" to find a parallel to
which we should have to, imagine
Windsor castle, Buckingham palace
and the Tower of London inclosed
with the same wall.
The Winter palace, which stretches
its long imposing front on the bank
Of the Neya at st. Petersburg, fronted
and supported by massive columns
and crowned through all its length by
beautiful statuary, has alone more than
ample accommodation for every
branch Of the imperial family (forty
in number and lowered with estates
1000, 900 acres larger than Scotland)
with their armies of servants and at
tendants. And the interior of this
vast pile Is even more impressive than
its dimensions.
The chief glory of Peterhof, a few
miles from st. Petersburg, are the glo-
rious gardens with fountains that
rival, If they do not eclipse, those at
Versailles. In the park of Tsarkoe-
Selo stands the Alexander Schloss, a
smaller palace, but crowded from
basement to ceiling with articles of
b~ijouterie, gathered from all the cor
ners of the earth, with paintings by
the greatest artists of Russia, and a
s%ingularly fine collection of models,
chiefly military. This palace has seen
the grading Of more than one of the
children of the present car.
When Nicholas wishes to escape
still more from the world of pomp and
ceremonial, he finds an ideal refuge in
his castle at Spala, in Russian Poland,
hidden away in the heart of a vast for
est. This has been a favorite retreat
of many a czar; for here, If anywhere,
1t is possible to shake off the burden
Of state and to lead the simple life Of
a country gentleman, with the best Of
sport to make the days pass pleasant
I've Here, as at Livadia, a charming
country home among the Crimean
vineyards, the emperor and empress
have spent many of their happiest
hours together, renewing the days Of
their wooing in England amid the
peaceful scenery Of the Thames. Here,
padding in little wherries, pulling up
backwaters, the future ruler OF a hun
dred and more millions humbly
pressed his suit. He was so happy and
contented In this rustic retreat that
he rejected all offers to amuse him.
