VALUE OF GRASSES.

They Are In Measure the Most Use
ful Plants In the World.
Probably the grasses are the most
useful plants In the world. 1t may he
that more than half the individual
plants In the world are grasses. 1t Is
great family Of more than $500 spe-
cies, embracing species that are so tiny
that they hardly reach an inch in
height and giant bamboos of the trop-
les that sometimes grow to be 100 feet
or more.
Corn is a giant grass, and wheat rye,
oats, barley. rice and sugar cane are
all grasses. Then there are millets,
sorghum, Kaffir corn, broom corn-all
grasses.
The number of species Of grasses Is
enormous, yet we have adopted into
our system of agriculture but few
sorts. In part that is due to the ease
or difficulty Of seeding grasses. Tim
othy grass, for example, is so easily
sown and the seed so easily gathered
that It is soonest set Of any and has
become the standard hay grass Of
northern climes.
In some regions of Kentucky blue
grass Ia the almost universal pasture
grass because it comes in Of itself. In
other regions with different soil poor
and lacking in lime) redtop has posses
sion. Naturally the farmer follows the
line Of least resistance, yet 1t Is by no
means certain that he has adopted into
his agriculture all the best grasses that
nature has provided. Some day we
shall do more toward using now neg,
lected grasses. - Joseph q. Wing In

LUXURIOUS KITCHENS.

They Used Silver Lined sauospans In
the Old Days In Rome.
While the housewife today prides
herself, and with reason, on the equip
ment and conveniences of her estab-
Hshment, she need not think that CEN
turtles ago other women in other lands
were not equally we'll provided. In
deed, the kitchens Of Roman women
were much more luxuriously fitted out
than are most kitchens Of today.
Now. in the days when the Roman
empire was at its height, If you went
into the culinary department Of an ele-
CANT establishment you would find
saucepans lined with silver and pals
Of various description richly inlaid
with arabesques In silver and shovels
that were handsomely and intricately
carved. Egg frames, too, that would
cook twenty eggs at once and pastry
molds shaped like shells and an in
finite assortment Of gridirons, frying
pans, cheese graters and tart dishes.
The toilet tables Of the Roman wo-
men were well supplied N the same
lavish fashion. Ivory combs, perfumes,
cosmetics, hairpins, even an elaborate
hair net Of gold, have been recently
unearthed. Safety pins, too, which
have for a long time been considered
q strictly modern invention. could be
found on their tables. But they had
no brushes nor any glass mirror, the
kind they used being Of silver or other
white metals.-ChicagO Tribune.

CURIOUS MANx LAWS.
Pood and Drink Alone Are Taxed and
Debtors Are Imprisoned.

Pood and Drink Alone Are Taxed and
Debtors Are Imprisoned.
In some respects the Isle Of Man Is
one Of the most backward portions Of
the British empire. All the revenue Ia
raised by taxes on food and drink.
There are no death duties, no proper
V tax, no land tax. The working
classes are unprotected as well as over
taxed. No factory laws exist. and no
attempt has ever been made to limit
the hours of shop assistants, although
Mainland is essentially a nation Of
shopkeepers. Then. although usury II
forbidden by law, Imprisonment for
debt Il still legal and is commonly re-
sorted 10.
Yet Manx laws, although backward
In some respects. are In other ways
well advanced. Every woman, widow
or spinster, in the Isle Of Man, be she
owner, occupier or ledger. enjoys the
parliamentary franchise. Every Wild
ow enjoys half her husbands person
al estate and has life interest In his
real estate, and she cannot be deprived
Of this by will.
The sale Of cigarettes and intoxi-
cants to children was forbidden In
Man for years before such q prohi-
bition was enforced in England. Eng
hshmen have legislated mildly against
money lenders. The highest interest
that can be charged in the island Is 6
per cent, and that has been the law
for over 200 years.-Chicago News.

GRILL WITNESS
In THE BIG
LUMBER TRIAL

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 12-
Continuing attempts on the part of
James Scarlet, chief counsel for the
defendants in the Government pro-
ceedings against proomters and Off
GERS of the International Lumber and
Development Company, on charges Of
fraudulent use Of the mails, to discon-
cert T. c. Rome a member OF the Iowa
State Legislature and stockholder
OF the lumber company, marked yes
terday's session. In attempting to off
set the previous testimony OF Mr.. Rome
to the effect that the officers of the
company had "doctored' his report on
conditions in their plantation in Mexi-
co, the attorney for the defense re-
peatedly tried to gain an admission
from the witness that he sought the
presidency of the concern at salary
OF S25,OOO
The defendants. who are charged
by the Government with a conspiracy
to defraud thousands out OF $6,500,000
through the mails, are John r. Mark
ley and Isaiah B. Miller, proomters
and Charles b. Mcmahon, William II
Armstrong, Jr., and Colonel A. G.
Stewart
Rome had testified at two previous
hearings that he had been twice ap-
pointed as a stakeholder Inspector tc
visit the plantation in Mexico, and
that when he had submitted his re-
port various changes made by the Off
GERS Of the company "colored" the
original copy entirely.
Mr.. Scarlet asked the witness If il
we're not a fact that he had confided
in Dr. A. s. Slayer and Or. S. S. Brum.
baugh. both of whom had acted as
stockholders inspectors, that he in
tended to ask for the deposition of
the elder Armstrong as president anC
to institute a campaign for that posi-
ton himself. Mr. Rome answered tha
he had suggested a meeting of the
stockholders to reorganize the com
pany and elect a new board of direc
tors, but that he had never intimateC
anything about deposing the presiden
of the concern
At the conclusion of the cross
examination, District Attorney Swart
ley explained that Mr.. Rome had beer
placed on the stand at this stage o
the proceedings because he was forceI
to return to Iowa on business, ant
that the Government would continu
to present some Of the profuse liter
